IPhone 5 won't update to iOS 8

Hey there I seem to be having this software update with my iPhone 5 software. Previously when iOS 7 had come out... I had tried to update my phones software by using iTunes and it would go 3/4 way through and a message would come up saying that the software update was unsuccessful or cancelled. So I just ignored it and continued using my old software. This past week, I had tried to update my phone software to iOS 8 using Wifi methods and it did the very same thing again.
I don't know what is happening with it and I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks

    iPhone won't update to iOS 6.1.3

    I've rebooted the iPhone 4 several times (holding the home+power buttons down for several seconds. I've re-installed iTunes and finally got the IOS 6.1.3 update.
    The whole process took over 5 hours.
    Now, if only iTunes would not give me an error message trying to connect to my iPhone - i may be able to restore my apps...   :-(

  • My iPhone won't update to ios 5 :^(

    I have an iPhone, i'm not sure what kind, but it won't update to ios 5 it has ios 4.2.1 on it and when i click "check for update" it says "this version of iPhone software (4.2.1) is the current version". I am using a mac with os x Snow Leopard iTunes 10.6

    Then it's probably and iPhone 3G, which can't be updated beyond 4.2.1.  You can look here to identify it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3939.

  • Iphone won't update to IOS 4.2

    Ok the problem is very simple like i said in the title i can't seem to update my iphone4 to ios 4.2. I have already read every other thread there is about this and all they say is to turn off the anti virus and firewall. Guess what it didn't work, i even uninstalled all of my security products like norton etc and now i don't even have anything to secure it from downloading the ios it still tells me it got a timeout after a little while. This is getting tedious really bad.
    Help is much appreciated here, thanks in advance.
    Edit; btw just if you are wondering i have everything up to date except my iphone 4.

    Timeouts like that are usually concerned with the USB connection.
    Make sure that you're connected to a powered USB2.0 connection, end-to-end. If you're connecting to a USB hub, disconnect everything else from it while updating.

  • IPhone 5s won't update to iOS 8.0.2

    My iPhone 5s won't update to iOS 8.0.2. I had been using beta versions of iOS 8 but even though there is a '1' in the Software Update box, it tells me my software is up to date (iOS 8).
    However, I also get messages telling me my current iOS will expire in x days. I now have dozens of apps waiting to update, telling me I have to upgrade to iOS 8.0.1 or later.
    I've tried to manually install iOS 8.0.2 but I get a message saying the firmware isn't compatible.
    Any ideas?

    Ask in the developer forum; someone there should be able to help you.

  • My iphone 4s won't update to ios 6! please help!

    My iphone 4s won't update to ios 6! I tried by my iphone it takes so long updating then it ends saying error!! I tried by using iTunes too, when it's done and installing it says error too!! this got me crazy!! any solution ? please help!

    I got instructions to connect my iPhone4 to iTunes. Each time I was prompted to restore the phone, I ended up getting an error message that the iPhone could not be restored. I checked that I had the latest version of iTunes-I did. I tried two more times and got the same error message. I disconnected the usb/phone, closed iTunes, and restarted the computer. This time the restore worked and iOS6 loaded. Unfortunately, the last backup to iCloud that I was told I had was in June. Don't know why this happened as it should have backed up every day. Now I am working through restoring my settings and apps from the last three months. Thankfully, I didn't 'upgrade' my iPad, so I have a template off of which to work. I hope this helps.

  • Brand new iPhone 5s won't update to iOS 7.0.2

    I just got a 5s about five hours ago and it won't update to iOS 7.0.2 because it says it's still restoring- it's not. I've tried restarting the phone but that didn't help.

    Did you setup as new iPhone or restore from iCloud? If iCloud it must be doing restore in background for apps and data. Check in settings -iCloud and wait for couple off hours.

    Not a good sign. Try forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it. If this fails, make an appointment at an Apple store:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

    Hi waqaskhan91,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you're not able to send text or iMessages to certain contacts after updating your iPhone, start with the troubleshooting tips in this article:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    If you only see this behavior with a few contacts, you may want to try these steps first:
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact from the Contacts app. Send a new message to the contact.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

    Hello HaithamOkeely,
    We've an article that provides the following troubleshooting steps that may help stabilize your iPhone.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

    If possible... you need to Upgrade to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x  (which will Run iTunes Version 11)
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
    Snow Leopard Tech Specs

    If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
    Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
    NOTE:
    You should also consider more RAM... Get the Maximum you can for your Mac...
    It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
