IPhone 4 iOS 7 update issue

I have an iPhone 4 that is currently running with 6.1.3, I have been trying to update to iOS 7 on my Mac, but my iTunes seems to be too updated to the point where my phone won't connect to iTunes so I'm not able to update it. If you know any other way to update it without connecting to iTunes please help, thanks.

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.

  • IPHONE 4 – UPDATE ISSUE – IOS 7 UPDATE DELETED ALL THE CONTACTS : PLEASE HELP! PLEASE HELP!

    Hello Everyone,
    Following are the seemingly essential details in regards to this discussion :
    iPhone Model = 4
    Purchase Date = 05.Jan.2011
    Initial Activation Remark = I used my gmail email account to add contacts initially. But phone always failed to sync (back) with gmail after the initial setup. As in if I make any changes in the iPhone’s Contact List, it won’t automatically be saved to my gmail account. But I thought to keep a full phone back up on my MacBook Pro will be safer option as well.
    Latest Full Phone Backup Date = 19.Sep.2013 [via iTunes-11 on MacBook Pro-OS X 10.8.2]
    iOS 7 Update Date = 20.Sep.2013
    >>>[It went "On" Automatically when I touched to read the details, and could not stop once it got initiated - Actually I wanted to wait until some reviews were out. ****.]
    Problem = iOS 7 update deleted all the Contacts that were originally saved on the iPhone.
    Tried & Failed = I tried to restore from the available 19.Sep.2013 backup from my MacBook Pro. It restored everything but still NO CONTACTS. If I add email [orginal gmail] account's contacts then it does not show the contacts that I saved on the phone locally; around 1100.
    I am in the great trouble because my 1100+ contact list just zeroed by this new update.
    [Also, my iCloud all got screwed up. I had earlier used my wife's credit card to register for iTunes, and now my account got her name all over it. There is no option to change the name on icloud.com. I will start a new discussion for this problem.] Though I am trying not to lash out on Apple (for now), but I think that it is seriously getting into my nerves.
    Could anyone please help me to get my contacts back? I will be eternally grateful.
    I still got the Full iPhone Backup on my MacBook Pro that I did just before the update.
    Please help. Thank you!

    Yes, I did.
    It restored everything [incl. photos] but phone contacts.
    And, after restoration the iOS was still 7.
    I tried twice but still no phone contacts.
    Please help me to get my phone contacts back!

  • Huge iphone IOS update eating up my storage. What to do?

    Latest upate for ios on iphone is 1.9 gigs -- for a 16 gig phone. is apple kidding me? do i need to put all my music and photos in the cloud? any thoughts are most welcome.

    After the install it will replace your current iOS version and will take up no more storage than it is currently using.
    As dilbert41 suggest, updating via iTunes downloads the update to your computer then installs it so the extra space, albeit temporary, is not an issue.

  • HT4623 iPhone IOS update

    My iPhone settings icon is notifying me of an IOS 7.1 update.  I have tried multiple time to download and install the update.  Each time the process shows almost finished then notifies me that it cannot be completed without further direction.  I have as a minimum 11 GB available, so I'm not sure what the issue is.  Help please.

    Hey patsy643,
    Thanks for the question. If you are having issues updating Over The Air (OTA), you can always attempt to update with iTunes:
    Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623
    Make sure your device has enough available space to install the update. Use iTunes to update if you don't have enough space, or remove content from your device. Tap Settings > General > Usage to see how much space your content uses.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Iphone iOS update 7.1.2 freezing

    I have updated my iPhone, iPad and husbands iPad to new 7.1.2 plugging in to my iMac/itunes with no issues.  This morning we plugged in my husband's iPhone and had to delete some apps and videos/pictures to make enough room for the update but did that.   The screen was still updating and taking forever, we finally unplugged it and restarted it again.   Long story short the phone itself now has the iTunes logo and plug in on it.  On the iTunes screen on the iMac that it is plugged into, it just shows iPhone 4S doesn't have his name or anything and just says restart required.
    I of course am very scared we will lose all his information.  Is there somewhere to look to know his stuff is somewhere before we click restart (restore backup isn't an option showing.)   
    Or does anyone else have any other ideas of how to get it to work without doing the above?   I have looked online at other sites for this issue and it appears many people had this problem and a hard reboot not the phone worked.  I have done that three times to no avail.
    Thank you for any help!

    There are several types of resets ..
    Did you try ...
    Tap > Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

    If one of these programs will not kick the iPod out of recovery mode then you will have to restore via iTunes

    If necessary:

    RecBoot tip
    RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store   

  • IPhone iOS update times out.

    I'm trying to download the updates for my iPhone and iPad2; however the connection is apparently too slow. When it times out, you lose everything and must start the download again from 0. Unlike other downloads like music, the updates will not stop and let you restart from where you left off. I'm on a US military base overseas, and the connection is somewhat slow, and erratic.
    Is there a place I can go to download the update file that's trustworthy? Not using the iTunes interface, but just downloading the file and dropping it in the proper folder to update?

    The most frequent cause of download timeouts is interference from your antivirus and spyware, which you probably don't have as you are using a Mac. However, the network you are connecting through may be have antivirus protection that is the cause the problem. There are other places to get the download, but they are not authorized by Apple, and there is a risk of gettng a corrupted file. There's also the problem of finding the right version; different iDevices have different installers, even for the same version of iOS.

  • Lost info in last iPhone iOS update

    I have an iPhone 5S.  After that latest iPhone update I lost my audiobooks and notes.  How do Get these back or can I?
    Any help is appreciated.

    You should be storing all of this on your computer.  Just sync it back to the iPhone.

  • Iphone 4 update issue

    Hi I am trying to update my Iphone 4 software and selected "restore from Itunes back up" as part of the process, but I am getting an error message telling me I need to first go to the Icloud settings on my phone and turn off "find my phone" before I can. However I can't do this as my phone is asking me to start set up - I can't get into my settings! Help please!

    Use your computer to go to http://www.icloud.com/find.  Log on.  Find and click on the iPhone.  Choose "Remove From Account" if that option is available.  Otherwise, you may choose "Erase iPhone" if you wish, knowing you have a good iTunes backup.

  • IPhone IOS update

    Ok so I start downloading the new update and everything is fine until it gets stuck on verifying for about an hour. I then decided to reboot using the home and off buttons… problem I have now is that it's stuck on the Apple logo and nothing will get rid of it! I've connected to iTunes and it's not seeing the phone… help!!!
