IPhone 4 willnot update iOS can't update to iOS 5 not to mention newer software. Have tried to iTunes and still won't work???

Unable to update my iOS software - can't even update to iOS 5 let alone the newer ones. Can't update my music. In setting it doesn't show 'update' as it does in my husbands phone. Can anyone suggest fix??? Can't update either through iTunes.
Thanks

The ability to update directly on the device requires iOS5.
Connect the device to the computer and update it via iTunes.
If you truly desire help, try providing some specifics such as why you cannot update via iTunes. Any errors that are occurring would be a great place to start.

Are you sure it was error 0604 since I never heard of that error, it does not appear in the list of errors in the following and a search of Apple's support site gets no hits. However, error 1604 is list and users have reported that error number. If 1604 is the error number the following tell yu wnat to do when you click on that error number:

make sure it's not being connected to by any of the other two
one can only connect 1 device at the time and just by waking up sometimes a headset connects to a device
automaticly
then forget the bluetooth device in OS X and put the headset in pairing mode / discovery mode and connect with it once again with the mac

Cant get latest update 7.1. on my iPad. Have 5.1.1 now. Have tryed through iTunes and WIFI.

Please help me. Have 5.1.1 on my iPad and it cant find new verson. Have tryed through iTunes and WIFI. But it says that the latest verson 5.1.1 is already installed. But I want The 7.1.1 verson.

You say you have an iPad 2. However, I suspect you may actually have an original iPad. Does your iPad have a camera? If it does not, it is an original iPad and iOS 5.1.1 is the highest version it supports.

Be good to know what the diagnostic results are.
I've also just run into an issue where I couldn't restore an iPod with a corrupt file system, and the "super fix" in that linked article wasn't working for me. I've run across a potentially useful workaround.
iPod Classic went on the fritz today just after syncing. Couldn't restore via iTunes, kept getting 1439 errors, Windows wouldn't format as FAT32, claimed the "Volume is too big for FAT32". Finally tracked down EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition (Free) and formatted as FAT32 with 128k clusters. The iPod is filling back up again. Might be worth a shot here...

ITunes quits when I'm trying to open it. I have installed the latest version and another user on the same Mac can use their iTunes when they log in. I have tried deleting iTunes and re-installing but it still won't open. Any ideas?

Hold down the option key while starting iTunes and make an new library. Will it open then? If so, you have a bad library. With the new library import the library.xml version of the file in your iTunes folder. This will make it 90% like before (some metadata are not identical, but I don't know which ones).

Hi Drbobdog, there shouldn't be a compatibility with Android OS 2.2.3. There may be a compatability with the device itself.
Here are the system requirements:

I hope this helps.

It really helps if you describe what is happening, otherwise there is no way to offer meaningful suggestions. Just saying "I can't ..." Doesn't tell us anything helpful.
