Iphone not updating. Please help a poor Brazilian.

Hello,
I have an unlocked Iphone 3G (bought here in Brazil) with version 3.1.3 and everytime I try to upgrade to a newer version, eg 4.0 or 4.01 it up to get the update but in the end hangs and displays the screen of the cable USB CD and music note. When this screen appears Itunes tells you that I'm in recovery mode and try to install version 3.1.3 and earlier is still stalled. Could anyone tell me if there is something to be done to upgrade this device?
Thanks.

Try Recovery or DFU mode. If this doesn't work, it's likely a hardware problem...
How to put your iPhone in recovery mode :
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone 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 the iPhone or iPod touch 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 iPhone. When you reconnect the USB cable to iPhone, the device should power on.
To escape Recovery Mode and power the phone off simply hold down power and home buttons for ten seconds.
How to put your iPhone in DFU mode :
1. Connect your iPhone to your computer.
2. Turn iPhone off.
3. Hold power and home together for 10 seconds (exactly).
4. Release power but keep holding home until the computers beeps (observed on a PC) as a USB device is recognized.
5. A few seconds later iTunes should detect your iPhone.
6. If the Restore Logo is present on the screen, you are in Recovery Mode, not DFU.
To escape DFU Mode and power the phone off simply hold down power and home buttons for ten seconds.

    The above Microsoft article will take you through the possible issues. Does the drive show up in device manager? The BIOS?
    Can you boot from it? It is likely either a corruption of the registry which the linked article shows how to fix, or the drive itself is bad and needs to be replaced. Post back to answer the questions so we can help.

  • Podcast not updating - Please help!!

    When I tried to update my radio show pod cast today, it flashed like it was going to update, then it stopped. No matter how many times I click on "Update", the same thing happens. This has never happened before. PLEASE HELP!

    Your feed has 14 episodes in it, the last being dated November 15th and entitled BCN 11/14/10. All 14 appear in the Store and when subscribing.
    Your feed links to a site at http://bednaz.tumblr.com/ . This shows three more recent episodes, added 1 day ago. These have not made it into the feed - hence their non-appearance in the Store. This is something you will have to investigate at Tumblr: it's not an iTunes problem.
    Once you get the episodes into the feed and republish it, they will take around 2 days to appear in the Store, though they will appear immediately for subscribers.

  • Iphone 3G will not update - please help

    Dear all
    I am having repeated problems updating the software on my iPhone 3G and have not been able to do so for almost a year.
    I am using the latest version of iTunes and the software downloads fine. The problem occurs during the back up. iTunes tells me it will back up my apps, contacts etc and then the back up box pops up and the green progress line run through a few times. It then (extremely slowly) climbs to three green bars and then nothing happens.
    I have had problems backing up before but I managed to make a back up last night with no problems. I then tried to update the software, left it for four hours and exactly the same thing happened. Today's attempt has been going for 30 mins and is only at one bar at the moment.
    I have tried everything people have suggested on these discussion pages including using different cables, USB ports, deleting previous back ups, configuring my firewall (Norton) and turning it off altogether. The only thing I haven't tried is restoring the phone - I'm loathe to do so as I don't trust iTunes not to screw the whole thing up now.
    Could this be a problem syncing my contacts? iTunes tells me it wants to do this but I don't recall setting anything up with Outlook to do this.
    Can anyone help - I know this is a common problem, all you need to do is put "cannot up" in to Google and one of the most popular searches is "cannot update iPhone"!! There surely must be a solution, can anyone help before I go crazy?

    Hi What could be happening is slow internet connection, obviously with every update your itunes connects to apple and open a communication to assess if your phone can upgrade... etc...
    but if you have a slow connection that authorisation period my elapse meaning that the communication with apple is disconnected...
    if you look online for IPSW files and find the one you want - there are a few sites out there that do this and more often than not they link direct from apple...
    once this is downloaded open itunes then CTRL + click update, then go find the file you just downloaded, and this should allow you to upgrade...
    This is the sam process I have used for Beta Software and on my mates 3G to get him on to the latest 4.1 as he was for ages stuck on 4.0...

  • JTree not Updating - please help

    I am totally perplexed.
    I created a pretty standard implmentation of a JTree, utilizing the DefaultTreeModel, DefaultMutableTreeNodes, etc. The JTree is contained in a JScrollPane. The tree displays a string value that is one of the properties of the UserObject of the node, for which purpose I created my own subclass renderer and an editor. A JButton causes a new node to be added to the root node. All was working fine, until...
    I put the JTree and the TreeModel in a new class, along with the method to populate it. I created a method that passes a handle to the JTree ("getTree()") which I use to instantiate the JScrollPane ("new JScrollPane(tree)"). Now when I add a node to the root, it doesn't display!
    I have tried "tree.revalidate()", "tree.updateUI()", "scrollpane.revalidate()", "tree.repaint()", "dialog.repaint()" all to no avail. If I close the dialog and reopen it, everything displays fine.
    Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks very much...

    Here are the two classes. Your help is greatly appreciated.

  • Simulator is not updateing please help.

    I am very new at Xcode programming and have been working through a tutorial provided by apple. It has a classic hello world program and switches to a to do list program. I will provide the address for the tutorial at the end.
    The tutorial instructed for me to remove the "Hello world" label and enter in a text field box. Everything looked great, but when I clicked on simulator it still only contained the label "Hello World" instead of the changes I had made.
    I did some research on the internet and found some information about resolving layout issues. I removed all constraints and used the command for new constraints to be auto built. Unfortunately, this approach did not work ether.
    I also tried deleting the app from the simulator and re-ran the app and this also did not show the new display.
    Does anyone else have any advice on what I am missing.
    Xcode Version: 5.1.1

    I backed up my Iphone to itunes so i can do the new Update to IOs 7 and so now that i updated it i want to backup and restore and its not working, Please help!

    An iPhone backup to a computer via iTunes stores the photos in a backup file that is only meant to be be used if needed to restore back to the phone. There is 3rd party "extractor" software available but otherwise the photos are not directly viewable.
    The backup via iTunes was a good idea and your Camera Roll photos should be there and should be able to be restored to your new phone. However if it was me I wouldn't rely on that alone. I would also import the photos to a computer where you can see and verify that you have a copy. That is a good idea at any time (not just when you know you might need it). Any phone can be lost, broken, suffer hardware issues, etc at any time and lose all data on it. Following is a link with information on how to import the photos to a computer:  Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

    If your messages and photos weren't part of your backup, then they're gone.
    Certainly you weren't foolish enough to update the iOS on your phone before importing your photos off your phone for safe keeping on your computer like you would do with any digital camera, were you?

    Hi. i updated my iphone 4s to iOS 7.0.4 but after that, wifi is not enabled. please help in this regard.

    Apple has provided a useless workaround... [http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559]
    Else the only option you have is to fight with the Apple Store "geniuses" to get a free replacement for out of warranty 4S devices. Or try a third party repair like iFixit. The wifi chip might cost you 60-80$ but it is better than paying Apple 200$.
    Overheating is the culprit in 4S devices. And its been getting worse with ever successive iOS 7 update. I think 7.0.4 was the final nail in the coffin.
    They are not getting my money anymore.. I've had iPhones every since they launched... but no more. Feels like a dead investment after facing this issue. I can never sell my iPhone 4S even if I want to. There have been cases where users just sold their 4S devices, the new owner updated to 7.0.4, wifi stopped working and the seller had to give a refund.
    I'm basically sitting on a 650$ white brick. Hmm... I wonder if white bricks sell higher than the standard red bricks
    Guess it's time for you to sign up this ongoing campaign [https://www.change.org/petitions/apple-to-get-apple-to-replace-all-units-affecte d-negatively-by-the-update-of-ios7-or-patch-an-update-that-will-remedy-the-issue s-many-loyal-customers-are-experiencing#share]
    TBH, I can't get a replacement because I am in India where 4S was never launched as an unlocked device and there are no Apple retail stores. Only resellers here like Vodafone/Reliance/Airtel. But if this petition can help the one who can take advantage of having retail stores around... why not? Sign up please. Thank You.
