Iphone4 not updating- help!!

My daughter has a iphone 4 that hasn't been updated since before Nov 2012. We have tried to update it by Mac book, by wireless & by her laptop. It ended up bricking up and not letting her access her phone. She did take it to the Apple store and they restored it to manufacturing settings, but we have not been able to get it to update at all since. She has tried removing all her apps, deleted off all her pictures, and emptied out all contacts, notes etc. Still no luck. She has done a hard reset and cleared everything to manufacturing settings and nothing works. She was able to get calls and text messages but now that is starting to act up also. What can we do????

Exactly what happens when she attempts to update it? What message(s) do you get on either the phone or the computer? Is the computer she's attempting to update with running the current version of iTunes?

Powershell will not update-help

Update-help doesn't work. Update-help -sourcepath "D:\update help" also doesn't work. I manually downloaded the files and put them in that folder since the live update fails, but even that won't work. Pasting error message:

My Ipod mini will not update, help?

I just downloaded iTunes 7, and now when I plug in my ipod, iTunes doesn't come up. Even if I open iTunes, I doesn't "sense" my iPod. I doesn't show up on the list and the "Sync iPod" option under the "File" drop down menu is all greyed out. I also tried using the iPod updater program and it said "Invalid iPod service version". I'd really appreciate some help.

Firmware update for N95, its not updating, HELP!!!

I also have a problem on net it is mentioned that latest firmware is 30.0??? and my N95's firmware is 21.0.0.16.
I tried by downloading lateset software updater whenever I tried it says this is most updated one on my mobile, one of cousin has alredy updated his N95. Even I check with the code given on the back of the mobile it shows 21.0.0.16 is the latest one, somebody explain this to me, Please.

It quite still quite possibly be an unlocked but branded handset. Do you see any branding logos when you turn the phone on or do you see any network icons anywhere in the menus?
By the way, a new version of NSU V1.4.64 has just been released. Try that and see if it gives you your update. You can download it from

Are you sure you have a 4g/3g iPod? If you don't have a camera, it's definitely not 4G. If it has no camera and is 8 or 16 Gb it is a 2G and can't go beyond 4.2.1.

My iphone4s can not update any apps. Nor is it able to download any new apps. What should I do?

my iphone4s can not update any apps. Nor is it able to download any new apps. What should I do?
I have two Apple Accounts. One in Switzerland and one in China. I used to be able to updates all of my apps by clicking individual apps. One day I clicked update all by accident. Ever since that, my iphone cannot update any of the apps. Nor is it able to download any new apps. Please kindly let me know how to make the phone back into work with the apps.
Many thanks.

I find it difficult to believe that it took you a year to realize your phone was defective.
Restore the phone as new. Wait a couple of days before adding any apps to see if it's running ok. Then, add apps a couple at a time so that, if any of them cause issues, you'll have an idea which one.

TS1398 Just got the mini, specifically to get jobs on a certain website. Jobs change all the time. When I go to website, it has not updated from the first time I logged in on the mini. It works on my laptop just fine. HELP!

My sons just bought me an ipad mini especially so that I could check a certain website on which I sign up for jobs throughout the day. The website is updated constantly throughout the day with new jobs and the status of the jobs I already have accepted and worked on. (It shows the percentage of the job that has been done.) It worked fine only the first time I logged on with the mini. Since then (yesterday,) when I check the website, it lets me log in, but I only see the same exact information that was there the first time I went to the website using the mini. It seems to be 'frozen' on that particular first look. It doesn't update at all.
I know it is not updating because I have also been checking with my notebook computer and with the notebook, the website is up to date.
Maybe its Safari?
I had the same problem when I used a friend's iPad.
I wonder if there is a setting or something that I could change to allow the website to update to the time I check it.
If not, then the ipad mini is a terrible disappointment and I would like to return it.
If you can help me, I would be extremely grateful.
Thanks in advance...

Mac Book Software Update not working, iTune will not update because of that, iPhone 4 won't connect to iTunes because iTunes is not updated. Mac v.10.5.8, iTunes v.10.5.2, iPhone4 iOS 6

Mac Book Software Update not working (Software Update does not have any new software for your computer at this time), my current MacBook version is 10.5.8.
As a result I can't update iTunes, version 10.5.2 (This software requiers Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later)
Now when I connect my iPhone 4, version iOS 6 iTunes can't connect to iPhone (The iPhone "XXXXX's iPhone" cannot be used because it requiers iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.)
so in a nutshell can't use iphone 4, because iTune is not updated and will not update because Mac Book is not up to date and will not update either.
Please help.
Thank you

I have a ipad 3 with ios 5.1.1 and it will not update to ios 7. I keep getting a software failed message and the download takes 13 hours and stops half way through. Any help?

I have an ipad 3rd gen with ios 5.1.1 and I can not update it to ios 7. It will take 13hours and when I try it stalls out halfway through and says software update failed. I have tried everything. Any help?

it actually needs more space than that. The file size is your 65 mb is probably the ota incremental file size. The full package is 700 mg, and the system needs 3 gig of free space to unpack and install.
