IPhone 4 software update taking over 24 hours
I began updating my phone over the air yesterday, iPhone 4 iOS 5.0.1, to the latest software, and to my surprise it is still updating. I basically can't use my phone at all- it has become a brick. The phone constantly turns off and on an "apple" display... not allowing me to restart it, or even turn it on/off.
What should I expect? Is this how it looks when it's updating?
I began doing the update under wifi at home, but eventually took the phone to work later on, expecting it to have already been completed.

Software update taking 4+ hours
I have a Mac (iBook OSX 10.5.8) and connected my storm 9500 to DM and am trying to load in all the software updates. There were quite a few of them. Among them was the 5.0 operating system upgrade. The update process has been going on now for 4.5 hours. When I look at the log, it says this:
2009-11-22 14:54:10.379 INFO default pimSync Saved UI config data model.
over and over again, except there is a different number on each line where the 379 is.
Is this normal? It seems like everyone else on these forums updated in less than an hour.ncee, Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
Any update on this?

I went to update to the new ios and my phone immediately went into recovery mode. I called apple and they said I had to restore my iphone 5. I did what they told me to do through iTunes on my macbook and now the box that says Contacting the IPhone software update server has been there for 4 hours with no progress.
It can not do that all by itself.
When you plugged it in, iTunes said 'Oh goody! You got a new phone! Would you like to make it just like your old phone?'...
You explicitly said 'Yes'.
You can't undo that.
No backup of the current state of the new phone was made. It was wiped and the last backup of your old phone was restored to it.
Anything you had on the new phone is gone. -
Firmware 3.1 update sitting at "Updating iPhone Software" for about an hour
I am running on 10.6 OS X, iTunes 9, my phone backed up successfully, but it's sitting at the Updating iPhone Software for nearly an hour now. It is at around 75% on that step and looks like its only 10% on the phone itself.
Here is a list of actions logged in the consols

I downloaded the os 6 by wifi and when the phone restarted it told me to plug into itunes. I did that and the iphone software update has been stuck on '70 hours remaining' for the last 3 hours. Help!
it says " itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. you must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes" so i restore it and after it gets finished it says " the iphone :iphone" could not be restored. the device cannot be found" but ive used this itunes since i got this phone.

Should an iphone software update really take 3 hours?
should an iphone software update really take 3 hours?
It depends on a number of variables. It could be the speed of your internet connection, if you are trying to update OTA versus direct connection in iTunes, the amount of data, music and apps that need to be synced back to the device after the update. You can always remove the device from iTunes and perform a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The device may have completed the update and just not displaying correctly. If you do remove and it is not updated, just connect again and start the update again.

ITunes: "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted"
Could someone please help me with a problem that I´m having with iTunes that´s really annoying. I want to update my iPhone 3G with the latest 3.0 software. For the first time ever iTunes is giving me the following message every time I try to update (been for more than 24 hours now):
+The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.+
I also get a message if I try to click on the update itunes( not that I need to, as it updated to iTunes 8.2 earlier this month) but still I figure it´s all part of the same problem:
+The iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your Internet connection, or try again later.+
Solutions tried so far:
* Going through my internet connection settings - I´m connected to the internet with no problems!
* Changing from wifi to wired connection - same thing, can´t update
* Reinstalling itunes (twice) - no difference
* Switching off Netbarrier
I don´t know what else I can do. I´m beginning to think it may be related to either iTunes being updated to 8.2 or one of the many recent software updates apple has been sending us of Mac OS. My computer is got all recent updates.
Please help!Thanks for the response. Yeah I'd seen that a lot of these issues in the past had mainly affected Windows users. Anyway I tried naming a new location and no success and I don´t really understand the last post in that thread. There is no "check for updates" under the help menu. It's only in the itunes menu and that´s what I keep trying to do with the same message.
Anyway it's clear to me now that it's not a local connection issue nor an iPhone server issue. I've since upgraded to the 3.0 software via a Windows PC without any problems and without having to sync all the music and stuff which is a relief. Afterwards, when I put it back into my Mac all it asked me to do was a backup and nothing else had been synced (or wiped) so the immediate problem is out of the way. It's just this remaining issue now that iTunes still won´t connect to update servers although it does connects to the itunes store all ok. Any other ideas before I call Apple on Monday? -
i cant update my iphone and i tried going on my pc on itunes and clicking check for update button but it says that "itunes could not contact the iphone software update server because you are not connected to the internet". But i checked my internet on both my pc and iphone and tried again but it still says the same thing. plzz plzz help
Were you definitely connected to the internet at the time? If you don't have iOS 5 on your iPhone then the only way to update it would be via iTunes, once updated to the latest version of iOS you'll be able to update your iPhone without connecting to iTunes "over-the-air".
Before updating however it goes without saying to Backup your iPhone, this should happen by default upon connecting your iPhone to iTunes.

Hi could anyone help me out? my iphone 3gs keeps restarting itself every two minutes which i think is some kind of software issue,now there are a number of things i have done starting with putting in a new battery.when i charge the phone it resets itself every two minutes or so and the battery indicator stays at 4% so i decided to restore the phone on itunes (which is the latest edition) and when i connect my phone which i have put into recovery mode using the buttons, i get an error message saying :- the iphone software update server could not be contacted.a duplicate file name was specified. i have tried re-installing i tunes and that doesn't solve the issue and i have trawled through the program files to see if i could spot the duplicate but without success ,has anyone had the same issue and resolved it?
An iPhone 3G cannot be updated beyond iOS 4.2.1...that's the end of the line for your phone.

I cant seem to download and install the latest iphone software update. I have tried since the release and have been unsuccessful on more than 7 occasions and lost all the data on the process. Anyone have that problem an how do I fix this problem?
Hi
Thanks but I have tried doing the above - when I said 7 times I was modest, its more like 15 times.
And I am referring to the 5.1 software update. I dont have wifi so I guess I will have to try that seeing that my husband also has the same problem - he has also tried downloading several times. It always times out en says that the connection is lost but yet there are always an internet connection and a decent signal once it stopped. Think it said error 32052 or something!
I am disappointed because the update includes inprovement on the battery life - did you guys notice any difference? -
(The iPhone "Named" cannot be restored at this time because the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.)
