There was a problem downloading the software for Iphone "Harold". An unknown error has occurred (-23).
Help!

Hi
I know you had this issue a while ago, but I was just wondering how you resolved it - I am updating my iPhone and have exactly the same issue.

Re: IPHONE update error and malfunctions

I just was informed that there was an update for IPHONE when I connected to Itunes and after a few error messages, it seemed to finally successfully update. However after my Iphone restarted, it now shows a picture of a connector cable and the symbol for Itunes. It also only allows emergency calls. Does anyone know how to fix this?

This means connect it to iTunes. It is in DFU mode and needs to be restored.

Iphone 4S error 3194 when im trying to update to 6.1

iphone 4S error 3194 when im trying to update to 6.1 in itunes why cant i update it? It says in tunes that the update is available

IGadget Connect to iTunes;
Turn off your iGadget (holding the power / sleep on top of the device until it shut down);
Hold the power button / sleep and home simultaneously, after exactly 10 seconds holding both buttons (time), release only the power button / sleep, and
Hold down the home button until iTunes displays a message saying that a device was connected in recovery mode.
While your iGadget is in recovery mode the screen is completely black, which does not mean that the phone is switched off or stopped. Carefully follow the instructions in iTunes.

Unable to download iPhone update - "network connection was reset" error

I'm trying to download the latest version of the iPHone software update, but I keep getting the same error 50 - 75% of the way through the download. I get an error that says "Your network connection was reset". All other downloads work PERFECTLY in all other programs.
I've cleared my DNS, I've disabled my McAfee security software...any suggestions??

I am having a similar problem. The iPhone software will not update.
I can (and have) updated the most recent version of iTunes (9.0.3.15). When that completed, it asked to download the newest iPhone software, 3.1.3. I said yes, and the download began.
It shows 'Downloading 1 item iPhone software update (2 minutes remaining) for about thirty seconds, then the number climbs higer for a few seconds and the error message: There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone "iPhone". The network connection timed out.
Ever since then, i get the same results and same message no matter what. I have diables firewall, virus protection, rebooted, tried to resotre instead of just update, reauthorized my computer, checked all connections (i can do other updates, surf the web uninterrupted, etc).
I am using a wireless connection, but even the itunes update itself worked, just not the iPhone update.
Thanks for any advice,
Jim
EDIT: I also noticed that itunes changed from recognizing the phone as 'Jim's iPhone' to 'iPhone'

Error code while downloading iPhone update

I've tried at least 10 times to download 1.1.3 Each time I'm told the download failed and the reason is error code 3256. Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas?

Has anyone figured out the 3256 error? I've tried getting the Jan 08 iphone update about 10+ times and can't get past this. The link in the prior string didn't address a fix. My firewall says "allow all incoming connections" so I'm still confused as to why I can't get this update.

Why is it when i download the software update for iphone an error pops out when downloading is finish and processing file is being done...i've already tried several time but still the same result.

Disasble the computer's security software during the download and update.

Anybody getting this? On a Win XP iTunes 8/ iPhone 3G
Thanks for any help!

I got this message. After several hours of frustration...
I finally did a successful update by following various recommendations in this thread.
Maybe all or only a combination were necessary:
1) Deleted my backups. This DOES appear to be necessary, I noticed that the update was always failing when the update was going through the backup process. It was only after I deleted my backups that the update finally worked. To do this, in iTunes go to Edit > Preferences. Click on the Devices tab. Click on (select) the iPhone in the window. Click on the "Delete Backup" button.
2) Disable automatic syncing for the iPhone (don't know if this was necessary but it's one of the steps I took)
3) Make sure all your Apps are updated before trying the iPhone update. (Again I don't know if this was necessary but I did it). I updated my apps over wi-fi from the iPhone rather than via iTunes.
Important!!!!! After you run the update there will be no backup of your iPhone. You need to create a new one. To do this, right click (option-click) on your iPhone in the "Devices" list of iTunes. Select "Back Up" from the context menu.
Hope this helps!!!!
