IPhone stuck "Verifying software update"

I have been trying to download the new 3.0 software for the originsl iphone and it has stayed on "verifying" for over 6 hours. Is it really supposed to take this long???

About 15 minutes, tops. If you are using an aircard choose to download the update separately, then install it after it is on your computer.

  • IPhone stuck during software update, in airplane mode

    HINT:
    Make sure you are not in airplane mode when performing an iPhone software update. If you do, then you will get an iTunes alert saying ...
    "The iPhone "(name of iPhone)" cannot be used with iTunes because the information required for activation could not be obtained from the iPhone. Check that the SIM card is inserted in your iPhone and that it is not PIN-locked."
    To get out of airplane mode: slide the emergency call slide, punch in any number, hit CALL, an alert will pop up asking you to turn off airplane mode, .....
    NOTE:
    Apple could eliminate this problem by (1) blocking all incoming calls during syncs and updates and (2) checking to see if the phone is in airplane mode before allowing an update to occur.

    Thank you! Thank you! I was about to spend forever on hold for Apple support to help get me out of airplane mode! I forgot I was in airplane mode when I started updating the phone to 2.1.
    Thanks so much for saving me a needless call!

  • Can't install iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch

    I am trying to download the iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch from http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/whatsnew.html so I can download apps for my new iPod touch. (Although it is pretty bogus that I should have to pay $10 for an upgrade on a brand new device so that I have the privilege to buy apps). I have iTunes 7.7 already installed.
    When I click on the link https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLandingPage , I do not get a download, and iTunes does not open. Nothing happens if I open iTunes before trying this link either.
    Instead, I get a brief page which says "One Momemt Please". Connecting to the iTunes Store. Loading... If iTunes doen't open, click the iTunes application in your Doc or Windows Task Bar" , then my browser is redirected to http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/download/?itmsUrl=itmss%3A%2F%2Fphobos.ap ple.com%2FWebObjects%2FMZFinance.woa%2Fwa%2FtouchLandingPage%3Fign-mscache%3D1 which tells me to download iTunes... but I already have iTunes installed.
    I installed (then uninstalled, reinstalled) the latest iTunes (7.7.0.43) and the problem persists. iTunes works fine for all other uses.
    I have the problem with both Firefox (3.0) and Internet Explorer (6)
    How can I download and install The iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch directly from iTunes? I cannot find it when I search for it. It is not listed in the App store.
    (P.S. The web support form does not work when I tried to fill out a problem report for "Connection" issues. Although I filled in all form fields, it would not send the report, telling me I did not fill in a field.)

    The upgrade now appears directly in iTunes, so I do not need to access it from the web page. I see many others are encountering problems installing the upgrade, so I'll see how it goes...
    There is no answer to the initial problem that iTunes install does not configure the browsers to handle the itmss:// protocol.
    I still think Apple should not charge for this for a brand new iPod purchased just this week.

    I sounds like you have the first generation (1G) iPod Touch with an iOS earlier than 2.0,  Yu can identify your ipod here:
    Identifying iPod models
    You can identify your iOS version by going to Settings>General>About and look by Version.  Yu can update ti iOS 3.1.3 (the lated for the 1G) by this link.  It is a paid update.  You may have to try another browser to get he sublink to work correctly.

  • IPhone 2.1 Software Update for iPod 9.99 ?????

    IPhone 2.1 Software Update for iPod 9.99 ?????
    Why is this payware - Do we have to pay for this on the IPhone as well??? if we do this phone will be tossed into the trash!
    Message was edited by: Mac Pro 8core - x86

    That charge is for touch users who have not already purchased the 2.0 firmware. There is no charge for iPhone users. Can you throw that iPhone in my trash instead?

  • My mac book has been stuck on software update all night. Am I allowed to manually shut it down?

    My mac book has been stuck on software update all night. Am I allowed to manually shut it down?

    Yes, you won't be arrested for shutting it down. Depending on what was being updated, the machine may or may not start up properly (or at all) afterward. If it doesn't, post back for advice.

  • Downloaded iPhone 2.0 software update to 2.1 now stuck in restore mode

    After syncing iTouch tonight if offered an software update from the 2.0 firmware to 2.1. After paying the $9.95 for the udpate the iTouch is now stuck in recovery mode. When you plug iTouch into computer w/the USB is stays it needs to be restored/recovered. After the 20 minute download. Still nothing. Screen shows a cd and asks for the USB cable. Tried to unplug and while holding home button in plugging back in and same thing. Their software update...nothing found in troubleshooting.

    OK, so the restore completes without error but then you get the same thing afterwards?
    Let's try the new user:
    1. Go to Control Panel > User Accounts
    2. Click on "Create new user"
    3. Follow the prompts to create a new computer administrator
    4. Restart the PC and log in to the new account
    Once you're in the new account, open up iTunes and try to restore the iPod. Note that it will download another copy of the iPod software.

  • Iphone crash during software update.....now won't connect

    Hey everyone,
    I was trying to update the software on my 3gs, but during the update itunes stopped recognizing my iphone and now the phone is giving me the connect to itunes screen because it needs to be restored. Now, the problem is that when I try to connect the phone to my pc it tells me that it's in recovery mode and it needs to be restored, however, when I click retore it gets stuck on the "preparing iphone for restore sceen" and sometimes it stops and gives me the 0xE0000065 error message. So I tried to open ports 88 and 443 and try again, but the same thing keeps happening. If anybody has any suggestions, PLEASE let me know, thanks.

  • HT1296 Phone stuck on software update screen

    I tried doing a software update on my iphone 4s but now its stuck on the loading update screen. It won't finish loading, won't sync to the computer. I've tried several hard resets. Nothing works. I have pics of my baby i dont want to lose. Is there anything I can do to save my pics?

    If the device does not continue it is sometimes indicative of some kind of interruption durring the update. If you have a backup the information should be safe... If not you may want to google software that can remove information from your device when it is in this state.
    Hope this helps!
