IPhone 5.1.1 Update: Quick via iPhone. Way long via iTunes?
I started to download 5.1.1. via iTunes and the time estimated was over an hour and the file was 300MB (not sure, don't recall). So, I stopped the download after ten minutes, and went right to the iPhone to download the update. Both iTunes and iPhone connected via wifi. The update using the iPhone took five minutes to download and the file was much smaller (50K?). Why the difference in time?
The over the air update is incremental so only updates what needs updating, I saw a figure that on some iPhone's the update was about 46mb, the iTunes version I believe downloads the whole new 5.1.1 version of iOS so its much larger nearly 700mb for some iPhone's. Over the air updates work just fine.

My ipod touch 4g doesn't show option for ios update in setting-general page. Can i update it via itunes by connecting it to computer?
Try:

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How many ID Apple have you got? more than one?
If so, in you Itune go to Store->Account
Log-in using the same email and password you used in your Iphone and click on see account.
There you will see all your account information... Look for Purchase History and see if the apps your iphone is saying you have to update is on the list. If they are not listed on the Purchase History is probably because you got them using another ID Apple.
But on the other hand if you see your apps on this list, try to click on "RESET ALL WARNIGS FOR BUYING AND DOWNLOADING ITEMS".
Log-out and try again to update your apps using your Iphone.
By all mean if you have to change you ID Apple in your Iphone go to SETTINGS->STORE on the botton you will see your ID Apple (click on it and a pop-up will show asking you to change you ID Apple) change for your new ID Apple and try all again.
If any path I described here looks different in you Itune is because mine is in Portuguese -
Software update check via iTunes with error message (1664).
I had a recent experience with my new Ipad '4'. It is running IOS 6.0.1. When I perform a software update check via iTunes, it returned a message saying that an unknown error had occured (1664). When I connect my iPad 2, and did the same check, it returned the nomal "softawre is current version (IOS 6.0.1)" message. However when I checked the software update via Settings in my Ipad '4'. it returned the msaage "your software is up to date". I had completely rebooted (totally switched off) the Ipad '4' and it still gave me the same message via Itune. not sure what is truly going on here.

After upgrading to version 11.0.4.4 I get a "Itunes has stopped working" message when I try to start a movie on my PC. I have updated Quick time and previous version of Itunes worked great.
One thing is for sure, and that is if the only page i visit is the Google homepage (not logged in) or this site (mozilla forum), the problem does not occur, ever. I can't make it happen.
If i visit yahoo.com (not logged in) (or ighome.com, logged in), as examples, it happens every time. -

iOS: How to back up
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.

Iphone 5 update failed via iTunes. Needs to restore but keeps getting errors.
Hi,
Just tried to update my iphone 5 to iOS 6.1 through iTunes in WIndows 7. First time actually, usually I have been updating directly in the phone without any problems.
When iTunes tried to update my phone it got an error, seems it didn't even got to begin updating it. Now iTunes keeps telling me I need to do a restore of the phone to be able to use it. Got the iTunes logo and a USB cabel on the screen.
Anyhow, it seems to work untill it are ready to implement the restore on my phone. The apple logo and the progress bar appears but nothing happens, it just won't move.
After a couple of minutes iTunes drops the connection to the phone and gives me an error code of 1611 and my phone goes back to the restore/recovery screen.
Seems there is a problem with the USB transfer? The weird thing is that I've been synchronizing without any problems earlier. Though when iTunes was about to begin update it installed the Apple Mobile USB drivers again, perhaps that might be the problem?
I have also followed steps in the support area with disabling security programs, reinstalling iTunes etc without any luck.Problem solved when trying restoring on another computer. Thank god!

Just upgraded to iPhone 5 - now when i am asked to upgrade and App it askes me alternatley for my old mobile me acconut details and then the new iCloud user name and password - how do i change deatils to just one login?
You cannot merge apple id's. remember that before creating any new ones in the future.
You have two choices. Live with it, or repurchase the apps under the id you intend to keep using. -
what is the sullotion?
Hello Y-Jam,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
Rather than try and run the update, you should choose the Restore option in iTunes. That will downlaod the latest release of iOS 7, and install it to the phone.
Note: Be sure to backup your data first, this WILL erase all the content on the device.

I recommend backing up to iTunes manually even if you backup to iCloud, as that will restore faster than an iCloud backup would.

Cannot update apps via iTunes after iOS 8 install
After updating my iPhone 4S to iOS 8.0.2, iTunes (ver 11.4, under OS 10.6.8) will no longer do a backup nor any direct usb cord App updates. I could download all the updates to my Mac and they showed up in the connected iphone App list. Although the bottom banner showed nearly 5 GB of free space, as soon as I selected one of the App update button (which changed to "will update" the bottom banner change to read "not enough free space." Then, I tried asking it to deleting an App and it came up with the usual "do you really want to" warning. After clicking yes, it basically did nothing. I also tried doing a manual backup of the iPhone which just resulted in a very quick "scanning" status message, then nothing. I rechecked my Apple IDs, device authorizations, and restriction settings and they all seem OK. Finally, I shut down and restarted both the Mac and the iPhone then tried it all again with same results. Direct Cell or WiFi App updates on the
iPhone work fine, but, I prefer doing them via the Mac so all are locally saved, plus, I do not have to do double downloads for my wifes iphone.If i click for example on the update button in app store, there is just this ''downloading circle'' and shows loading.. and loading.. and loading and just nothing happens. Also the sympol of the updating app gets grey and there stands ''waiting''.
If i try to download an App, there is the same on the install/download button and there shows up a grey symbol of the app and nothing else happens.
No error message or something else. Just shows that it ''loads'' and nothing happens. -
Changing country. Can't update apps via iTunes
Have strange issue with my iTunes. After changing country form Russia to Ukraine my iTunes only searches and displays the number of updates. But when I want to update it and clicking on "update apps" iTunes says "No updates are currently available. To check for updates for another APPLE ID, sign in whit that Apple ID."
But at the same time my iPhone successfully searches and updates all apps for the same Apple ID, and then transfers it while sync with iTunes. What is the problem with my iTunes?The solution:
Delete all your apps in itunes you have purchased in previous country
Reinstall it -
HI all,
iTunes informs me that my iPod needs an update when I connect it.
Is there any way to look at the details of the update ie size, changes etc?Did you get the 'Congratulations. Your iPhone is now unlocked." message?
Was your iPhone hacked or jailbroken prior to the unlock attempt?
