IPhone 4S running 6.1.2 but "restore" insists on downloading update

I installed 6.1.2 on my iPhone 4S. The battery life was greatly reduced so following some tips, I'd like to do a "restore" then "restore backup" to see if it fixes the battery life issue. However everytime I select "restore" in iTunes it wants to download an update. If I click next it calculates anywhere between 9-32 hours to download the update, so I would rather not endure the download if I don't need it. Why does it insist on downloading the update when I don't need it? How can I fix this problem so I can start working on the original problem (battery life)?

To correctly display the name on the screen, the caller must be in your contacts list and the number in the contact list has to match the way the number is sent to the phone via caller ID. Numbers are formatted on the phone based on the region you list for your home area. Also, there is a setting for international assist if you are using international numbers as well.

IPHONE 5 RUNNING IOS 6.1.4 WON'T LET ME UPDATE TO IOS.7

Hi, I have an iPhone 5 running IOS 6.1.4 and was wanting to update to IOS.7 wirelessly but when I go into Software Update it tells me this software is up to date and doesn't give me any option to update to IOS 7. I know the software has been released from today so was wondering why I can't update.
Thanks for your help in advance.

I feel silly now, I just looked it up and it won't be released until 6pm my time.
Thanks for your help!

When I bought my iPhone 4s, a friend activated it for me using his email. Later I changed it to my own email on iPhone website (iCloud A/C). But when I try to update, I found it still shown my friend's email and I don't have his password. What can I do?

In addition to what FelipeV is telling you, I advise you to contact your friend and have him remove the iPhone from his apple id through icloud.com. Otherwise, if in the future you want to update the iOS or restore the iPhone for troubleshooting a problem, you may find that you cannot activate it again due to the feature Activiation Lock in iOS 7.
Once your friend has done this, you should deactivate Find my iPhone on your iPhone iCloud settings and then activate it back with your own Apple ID.

Sync issue - I have an iPhone 5 running latest software 7.1.1. Since the update I noticed that my photos weren't syncing in My Photo Stream album on my pc.

I have an iPhone 5 running latest software 7.1.1. Since the update I noticed that my photos weren't syncing in My Photo Stream album on my pc. The photos taken do show up in My Photo Stream folder on my iphone and ipad. I have googled and noticed that this is quite a widespread problem.
I must stress that I have never had a problem with photos from my iPhone not syncing with my pc before. This is the first time I have encountered this problem, so this has nothing to do with my Wi-Fi or my pc because nothing has changed in that respect. My pc's operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
6 days ago I took steps to try and kick start syncing again by uninstalling the iCloud panel on my pc.
1. Uninstalled the iCloud panel.
2. I saved all the photos that were in my My Photo Stream on my pc to another folder.
3. Deleted the My Photo Stream folder.
4. Rebooted.
5. Downloaded iCloud Control Panel 3.1 for Windows from support Apple site and installed on my pc.
6. Logged in to iCloud, set up syncing.
7. Rebooted.
I noticed that there is now a folder on my pc called iCloud Photos with subfolders which one is My Photo Stream as well as my share iPhone folders.
The photos are still not syncing.
I have only 34 photos in My Photo Stream on my pc.
I have deliberately taken random photos over the last few days since the actions of uninstalling and re installing the iCloud panel.
Out of a dozen which I took yesterday, only one has showed up in My Photo Stream on my pc. Only 6 photos out of fifty photos which I have taken since uninstalling/reinstalling the iCloud panel have appeared in My Photo Stream on my pc.
My iPhone shows that I have 980 photos in My Photo Stream so it shows that something is not quite right with syncing to the pc.
Hopefully someone has an answer or a fix?
Thanks for reading.

Hi Amish,
I should have mentioned that I have signed out of the iCloud Control Panel several times and no syncing occurs.
Thanks for your response anyway. I appreciate your feedback.

My iphone 4 running on ios 6.1.3 is hanging after updating to ios 7. Pl help.

My iphone 4 running on 6.1.3 has started hanging after updating to ios 7. The transition between the apps and the other features becomes quiet irritating and seems as if the screen is freezed with a quiet long lag in transistion as compared to ios 6.1.3.
Pl help...

"My iphone 4 running on 6.1.3"
You mean your iPhone running on 7.0.3.

Itunes says it has available updates but when I click download updates, it says no available update.

Itunes says it has available updates but when I click download updates, it says no available update.

This happened to me as well. I use an iMac as my main machine, but have a laptop that my daughter uses. I use my Apple ID on both computers. I would occasionally see on my iMac that I have updates available and would click update and get the No Update Available response, yet the red badge remains displaying that I have an update. Found that a few people had this happening as well via these forums so I checked on the laptop and it updated. I then noticed the red badge on the iMac had disappeared as well. If you have any other computers that share your Apple ID, I'd run update on those to see if it fixes your issue.
Thanks,
Bryan

what is the way that i can have the existing apps on my iphone to remain and also install new apps when i download without losing the installed ones

Were these apps downloaded via your own iTunes AppStore account or your friends?

That's correct. iTunes will delete any apps you have not downloaded through your own iTunes account. If you did use your own iTunes account, choose iTunes > File > Transfer purchases... to move the apps into your own iTunes Library.

Re-download the apps through your own iTunes account (pay for them if necessary). Apps cannot be shared between different iTunes user accounts.

Get error U44M1I210 but can't install downloaded updates either

Running released version of Mountain Lion. Received notification of updates to Dreamweaver and SpeedGrade. Ran Adobe updater and both updates failed with error U44M1I210. Rebooting doesn't help. Downloaded updater files directly. Ran them. Each failed. Mounted images appear briefly on desktop during installation before failing. Downloaded DMG file is no longer mountable after failed installation.
Downloaded update files again. Manually opened every single mountable file within the updater (by double clicking on all the dmgs (many in Dreamweaver 12.0.1 update!). Then ran install app within the installation dmg and all went well.
I've noted similar issues with other, non-Adobe updater files (images within the installation files need to be manually opened.)
Any ideas about what's wrong with my system? Is this a known Moutain Lion problem? Or am I alone in having some curruption that prevents installation programs from mounting images from within the installation files? Any help appreciated.
Sandy

Hi Sandy,
I would suggest just moving over any user specific files you needed to save from the old account to the new but we do have this document that goes over some other possible fixes too.

HT4623 i am using iphone 4 running on ios 6 but i could not see an software update option in my settings ....please can u help

i am not able to see software update option in my settings
i am using iphone4 ruuning on ios 6.0.1

Your iOS version is probably too old to support software update. You must update using iTunes on your computer.
Make sure your iTunes on the computer is current. Plug your iPhone into iTunes. Let it sync. Then choose "Check for Updates..." from the iPhone's summary tab in iTunes. That should od it for you.

I had to get a new apple ID for my Iphone and delte the old account,but now i can not update the apps I had installed from my old Iphone and could I transfer the music albums I bought to this new apple account as well ?

could you please get back to me as soon as possible , there is an update I have been anticipating for a about two months now and it is coming very soon.

This is a user to user forum; there is no one from Apple here to get back to you. Apps and music are forever associated with the Apple ID account they were purchased with. There is no way to transfer them to a different account. That is why Apple lets you change the email address associated with your account without having to get a new account. If you didn't do this, but instead got a completely new account, you are out of luck. You can still go back to the old account and just get a new email address for it.

this power mac will not update from a downloaded software just hangs at about 10 per cent

Backup your data at least twice to two separate media:

Shut down and remove that media.
Download and install 10.5.8 combo from here:

Repair permissions from Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility -> First Aid, and selecting the hard drive.
You should now be able to use Software Update for any updates that work with 10.5.8 PowerPC. Any that only work with Intel macs, you'll need a newer Mac.

Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.
Regards.

"SharedPac..." icon on iPhone 6 running iOS8

I just received my new iPhone 6 running iOS8. When I restored it from an iCloud backup, I noticed that there was a new white icon labeled "SharedPac...". I am assuming it stands for Shared Package. What is this and how can I get rid of it? Thanks!

I have the same issue on one of my iPhone 5S's! Of the two iPhone 5S's I have only one has this "SharedPac..." icon which I cannot remove.

Can't email photo from iPhone 4s running iOS 7?

I understand that AirDrop is unavailable on an iPhone 4s running iOS 7. But I just selected a photo in my camera roll, and was going to email it to someone, and there are NO OPTIONS to share the photo! I can't believe there is no way to share a photo. Am I missing something?

Nevermind! You have to tap the "Next" button to bring up the screen with the sharing options.
