Iphone software upgrade: version 3.1.2. to 4.2

I am attempting to upgrade my Iphone from version 3.1.2. to version 4.2., I have version 10.1.1. of Itunes installed on my MacBook Pro. Each attempt to download the software has failed. It reads syncing on my phone and shows the progress bar on my laptop, but no progress is made. I have tried multiple times, for various lengths of time and have restarted the laptop twice. To make matters more frustrating I cannot access any apps on my Iphone now! Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

I finally discovered the solution, my phone was not authorized to be linked to my computer.
To resolve this I went to Store Tab at the very top of the screen and clicked on Authorize This Computer. After this was done my phone downloaded the 4.2 software and all of my apps returned.
Thank you to everyone that took time to look at this post!

When downloading Iphone software update (version 4.0), I get error message

When downloading Iphone software update (version 4.0), I get error message (stopped err = -3259). Is there a solution for this???

Did anyone solve this?
I'm still having this issue. I also had the same issue when trying to download a large update for an app (43MB). I can download and install smaller udpates but I can't even download the large updates. I've checked all of my firewall settings and they are fine. I've turned off the firewall when trying to download the update and it still does not work. It just keeps saying that my network connection timed out.
I'm not at the stage where I can't install new apps because it requires the latest OS version on my iphone which I can't get!

Having problems updating iphone software to version 5.0

I currently have version 4.3.1 and finally decided to update iphone software to version 5.0. It goes through the 6 minute process, but then I get the error message: "There was a probem downloading the software for the IPhone -----. The network connection ttimed out. Make sure your network setting are correct and your network connection is active or try again later."
I've tried several times and keep getting the same message. My network connection is active and I've just the firewall and made sure it allows itunes updates.
Please help! Any other suggestions? When answering please be very specific - I'm really clueless with the computer.
Thanks in advance!

try this,
Plug in, click update software, and click download ONLY.
Let the ipsw file download complete,... then click update.
This way is much better. If you keep having error message, its either your internet connection is inconsistent or Apple's server is inconsistent... usually more likely the former.

Suggesttions for iPhone SOFTWARE upgrade (v1.1 possibly?)

Suggestions for iPhone software upgrade (v1.1)
•Better compatibility
oOne thing that I believe is very important would be better compatibility with existing iPod products. I’m going to have to find a new FM transmitter/charger and new alarm clock/radio so that my iPhone will work on them, not to mention in my sister’s and girlfriend’s cars, the stereo adapter won’t play music from the iPhone over the radio or even charge the iPhone.
•Bluetooth Data Transfer
oIt would be nice to be able to transfer pictures, music, ring tones and such between my iPhone and computer or my iPhone and another phone via Bluetooth
•File transfer through media message
oNot everyone can access email on their phones, it would be nice to be able to send a picture or sound file as a media message to someone.
•Music used as ring tones
oI think everyone was expecting to somehow be able to use their songs or part of a song as a ring tone for incoming calls and messages. This would be an amazing addition to the iPhone
•Keyboard sideways on texts and notes also
oI have large hands and I’m sure many people do, so it would be easier if you could turn your phone sideways and type text messages and notes with the larger keyboard
•Save pictures from the internet
oIt would be great if I could somehow save photos directly from my web browser on my iPhone to the iPhones memory without have to do it on my computer like a middle man or something.
•Recording
oA voice recorder would be great, it would really help the iPhone expand into the college and business areas.
•Flash, java, and macromedia support
oThe internet browser is great but lacks one thing, support for such things as flash, java and macromedia applications such as moving images or internet radio.
•Copy and paste text
oThere’s been several times that I’ve wished I could just copy a text and send it to multiple people or resend it to the same person or something without having to completely retype it.
•Deeper Customization
oEverything I about customization now days, it would be cool if you could figure out a way to have more customization such as different themes and animations
•Photos
oSome kind of zoom and on phone picture editing would be nice, especially the zoom, but not necessary.
•More Apps
oI know that these are in the works but more downloadable widgets and games would be cool

•Better compatibility
oOne thing that I believe is very important
would be better compatibility with existing iPod

that my iPhone will work on them, not to mention in
my sister’s and girlfriend’s cars, the stereo

The device is a phone and an iPod. There may be interference issues with older iPod accessories. Apple is working on a line of "Made for iPhone" accessories. The phone isn't even 2 weeks old, unfortunately you're going to have to hold your horses on this one.
•Bluetooth Data Transfer
oIt would be nice to be able to transfer
pictures, music, ring tones and such between my
iPhone and computer or my iPhone and another phone
via Bluetooth
This all would be pretty slow, but I think what would be reasonable is to allow all of your:
Contacts
Calendars
E-Mail
to all be synced via bluetooth OR WiFi by your .Mac Account
I think songs and videos would take forever.
•File transfer through media message
oNot everyone can access email on their phones,
it would be nice to be able to send a picture or
sound file as a media message to someone.
I'm not confident that this will definitely be supported, but considering AT&T's reputation, I think it will be supported with a software update
•Music used as ring tones
oI think everyone was expecting to somehow be
able to use their songs or part of a song as a ring
tone for incoming calls and messages. This would be
an amazing addition to the iPhone
It sure would be; I think we can expect this feature in the first software update. After all the WWDC keynote had a tab for "ringtones"
•Keyboard sideways on texts and notes also
oI have large hands and I’m sure many people do,
so it would be easier if you could turn your phone
sideways and type text messages and notes with the
larger keyboard
AMEN. I've already contacted feedback support on this one. Great recommendation, especially with text messaging.
•Save pictures from the internet
oIt would be great if I could somehow save photos
directly from my web browser on my iPhone to the
iPhones memory without have to do it on my computer
like a middle man or something.
I think we can do a little bit more with the internet. I'd be interested in:
1. The ability to open another window in a new tab (electively)
2. Support for a pre-set homepage that always pops up first
•Recording
oA voice recorder would be great, it would really
help the iPhone expand into the college and business
areas.
Another feature that was oddly omitted. It may be possible to do this with a Widget
•Flash, java, and macromedia support
oThe internet browser is great but lacks one
thing, support for such things as flash, java and
macromedia applications such as moving images or
internet radio.
Adobe is working on this.
•Copy and paste text
oThere’s been several times that I’ve wished I
could just copy a text and send it to multiple
people or resend it to the same person or something
without having to completely retype it.
It's hard to do on the iPhone, I can't imagine what kind of "tap shortcut" they would do to create this feature... it just unfortunately doesn't seem feasible
•Deeper Customization
oEverything I about customization now days, it
would be cool if you could figure out a way to have
more customization such as different themes and
animations
This would be nice, we do have now 700,000 identical iPhones out there right now, some personalization would be good.
•Photos
oSome kind of zoom and on phone picture editing
would be nice, especially the zoom, but not
necessary.
I agree that the phone, considering 4 & 8GB respectively, should have some sort of "photobooth" program
•More Apps
oI know that these are in the works but more
downloadable widgets and games would be cool
AMEN.
As everyone suggested, multiple emails to the feedback forums would get the features we want. I don't think apple, like other cell phone companies, will leave us with a limited first generation device. I think we can expect multiple updates and improvements much like they do with OS-X.
Great ideas, they sound very reasonable. Just be sure, like I have already in the past, to let apple know what makes a difference to you so that we can get some better features on this phone.

I can't upgrade my iPhone software to version 5.1.1

I can't seem to update my iPhone 4.3 version to 5.1.1.
I have iTunes version 10.6, but every time I want to update it, it says Time out and an error occurred.
What should I do?
Thank You

i would reset the phone to factory. that is of course after doing a backup first. Then when its wiped back to factory. update it. then do a resetore after its all up to date and it should restore all your data and info back without any issues.

Problems with 2.0 iPhone Software Upgrade

I'm out of the country in Canada on business and when syncing my iPhone last night was offered an upgrade to 2.0 software. Right now, it did not go successfully and I have a lobotomized iPhone.
I followed the normal steps of the upgrade and the software seems to hang up during the 'Verifying iPhone Software' process. I let it run all night and awoke this morning with it still running. The iPhone is displaying the icon with the cable and iTunes showing to plug it in. I unplugged the iPhone and restarted the computer. Upon plugging the iPhone in, iTunes wants to Restore the iPhone. I have attempted to restore it now for 3 times and each time it hangs at the 'Verifying iPhone Software' process.
I think I'm without a usable iPhone till I return to the States and go to an AT&T store for help. Anyone else have this issue or can provide some suggestion on getting it to work?

I shut down itunes, disconnected the iphone and shut down and restarted my laptop. That seemed to fix the problem. Not sure what the technical definition is, but it worked. If this does not work, make an appointment to see a genius at the apple store asap.

How long to upgrade iphone software to Version 4

My iphone has Version 3.1.3 and I am attempting to upgrade to Version 4 but the back up phase of the upgrade appears to be taking forever.
My iphone has a capacity of 14.28GB, with 12.02GB free so there should not be too much data to back up, yet it seems to be stuck in the back up phase.

I just left my iphone slowly working through and am pleased to say that after a considerable time (not sure how long as I gave up on it and went to watch a movie)it managed to get through the process and now appears to be up and running with the new software.

PIX Software upgrade, versions

Hi
Is upgrade from 6.3.4 to 7.2.2 allowed and work well or i should upgrade like this: 6.3.4->7.0.x->7.1.x->7.2.x ?
in release notes for 7.2 i found:
The minimum software version required before performing an upgrade to PIX Version 7.1 is
PIX Version 7.0. If you are running a PIX version prior to PIX Version 6.2, you must first upgrade
to PIX Version 6.2 or PIX Version 6.3 before you can begin the upgrade to PIX Version 7.0.
no words about 7.2 :)
i think that 7.2 automaticaly convert my 6.3.x commands. I am right, am i ?
is any successfully stories about 6.3 to 7.2 upgrade (without 7.0 or 7.1 software) ?

I did a bunch of 6.3(5) to 7.2(x) upgrades, but I did them differently than how you want to. I backed up my 6.3 config then installed a fresh image of 7.2 code. After that, I copied/pasted the old config section by section into the newly upgraded PIX. This might take a little longer (how long depends on the complexity of your current config), but in the end, you have a cleaner migration.
There are some instances where you can't simply copy/paste, so you will have to enter some commands such as the following:
interface config
conduits should be converted to ACL's
no more fixup commands
and vpn tunnel groups.
I believe if you copy/paste in existing vpn configs, the 7.2 code will automagically convert them to the new syntax for you...i think.

Problems downloading Iphone software 2.0.2

I have tried 8 time to download the Iphone software upgrade 2.0.2 and after waiting for 2 hours that is when it does not get a computer crush, I get a stop err=-3259
There has been a problem with the down load. Some type of out of time waiting for the network connection.
I do not know why Itunes is not smart enough if the connection stops, the next time Itunes is started it should continue downloading from the point it stopped. Also an option to pause and resume download should be available so the user does not have to wait the 2 hours straight.
It has been 8 times having the Iphone connected for 2 hours each try with no results.
Please can anybody help me on this

Yes you will be able to download 2.0, I have 4GB also. You need to update iTunes first though then you can download 2.0. Do not do it yet though everyone seems to be having problems finishing the installation.

I have had the phone plan working for about 5 months, with no previous issues with the data working.

Does this mean that I have to upgrade my plan to the 4G fleix cap to receive a cellular compatibility?
Or do I have to purchase a locked in contract with them for this issue to be resovled?

Size of software upgrade files

Why do the itunes and iphone software upgrades have to be so big?
With a "slow" dsl service it took me over 3 hours to download the two upgrades

It is because it does not just install, the changes they have made, but the whole thing all over again, wich might take a while
