IPhone Mail will not update

Using the new iOS for a 3GS. mail will no longer bring in emails since I updated to the newest OS. I can do a reset and it will then bring it in. But otherwise it will go for days without updating messages.

Hi there,
Dlawn. Did you try opening the "Settings" app, tapping on the "Mail, Contacts, and Calendars Section", and then tap "Fetch New Data", and then after that, selecting how often you'd like "Mail" to recieve new data?

  • HT201210 Iphone 4s will not update to iOS 7.  Says an error occurred.  I have to plug my phone into the computer also because it will not connect to home wifi.  All other devices will connect to wifi though.  I have enough storage to update also.

    My iphone 4s will not update to ios 7.  I'm trying to update this through my imac because the iphone will also not connect to my home wifi.  I've tried several different things but nothing is working.  I deleted enough pics and apps so there is enough storage.  When i plug it in, it starts to bring all my photos to the imac. I cancel this because i don't want it.  It then says extracting software, backing up iphone, then i get the error message.  Do I need the iphone 5?

    I just tried again, no code comes up on the imac.  Just says cannot back up this device with my "initials" because of an error.  It's weird because my iphone has been connected to othert wifi sources in the past. I've looked through these forums and have tried multiple things like resetting the phone, resetting network, shutting off modem and router, nothing works.  I have an apple airport extreme router too.  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

  • My iphone 4 will not update to 6.0. I keep getting and itunes error...

    I keep getting the error "This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version." when I click the update button to update to the ios 6.0 software. I already have the most current version of iTunes installed so I have no clue why I am getting an error that has anything to do with itunes. I've tried restoring my phone multiple times and restarting my computer. I've made sure there is plenty of space open on my hard drive as well. Not really sure what else to do.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on some Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

    iOS- Unable to update or restore
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
    Have you tried connecting to your computer and updating via iTunes?
    You may have to do a full restore to upgrade:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • IPhone 4 will not update! HELP!

    Hi all,
    My iPhone 4 will not update to IOS 5.0, an error message keeps coming up that that 'network connection timed out'. I'm connected to my Wi-Fi at all times.

    I had the same problem. I waited about one hour with the progress bar on iTunes at about 50% and the progress bar on my iPhone 4 at about 20% with no further progress.
    I unplugged iPhone, got the error message (9), shut down iTunes, restarted my Macbook Pro, did a hard reset on iPhone and then reconnected to my MBP. iTunes launched and notified me that my iPhone needed to be "restored."
    I went ahead and did the restore, which took only about 8-10 minutes. I did not restore the prior iphone backup, but chose to synch it as a new iphone. All went well. It now shows iOS 4.2.1 and all I have to do is manually install the apps I want, etc....
    I hope this helps.

  • HT4623 My iphone 4 will not update to the new ios 6.  My husbands phone did update.

    My iphone 4 will not update to ios6.  It keeps saying there is an error.  My husband has the same phone purchased at thesame time and his updated just fine.

    Same thing, but even worse because there also is not enough space to do the restore.  I think I am screwed and lost everything.  I HATE these updates, seems like there are always major issues!

  • My Iphone 4 will not update to 4.3?

    I have everything completely up to date including my computer, and itunes, but my iPhone will not update to 4.3 infact its on 4.2.9 and my itunes says there are no available updates.  I'm sad! Also when I added my iphone to the my list, ios 4.2.9 wasn't even available.  I am so confused, please someone help me!

    Oh, I thought from the phrasing that a Verizon iPhone was a type of iPhone. I'm on O2.
    So are there other reasons for not being able to update? Is my iPhone too old? How can I find out?
    I'm asking because I want some Apps that require 4.3.
