Remember where you saved it. Do not open it.
Hold the SHIFT key while clicking the "Update" or "Restore" button in the iPhone tab in iTunes
On Mac:
Hold the option key while clicking the "Update" or "Restore" button in the iPhone tab in iTunes
Subsequently, a dialog box will come up which will allow you to select the firmware file to use for your update. At this point, simply browse to and select the firmware file that you downloaded.

    If you are saying that your phone is not appearing in iTunes see either http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 (windows) or http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 (mac) for troubleshooting steps.
    If that isn't what you mean, please explain further.

    Connect your device, select it in the left-hand column, then change the settings on the various tabs to sync the media content your library to the device. Anything already on it may be removed. If that would be a problem see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Moving iTunes and iPhone from an old PC to a new MacBook Pro

    Hi, I am having some real problems. I have recently bought a new Macbook Pro to replace my old Windows PC. I am having no trouble moving all of documents and music from the old PC however I am completely stuck for what to do in transferring my iTunes and iPhone 4 content AND information onto the new itunes. I have consolidated the music files on the old pc but havent copied anything yet.
    What I am looking to do is to be able to sync the iPhone to the new Mac without any of the information on the iphone being erased. Is this possible without having to pay for third party software? I have a WiFi network which both of the computers are connected to. I am also able to use an external harddrive.
    I have already transferred the purchases from my account onto the new mac but a lot off my music isnt from the itunes store but is from various CD's.
    I am really lost on what to do and I am even considering writing down all my contacts, lol. However, i do have all of my current iPhone info such as contacts and calender sync'd with iCloud if this helps.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Matt

  • Synching calendars between itunes and iphone 5 no longer works.

    Syncing calendars between itunes and iphone 5 no longer works.  I do not get any errors, however calendar items are not updated. 
    I am syncing via USB on a Windows 8 computer.  It worked a couple of weeks ago.  Since then itunes has had its weekly update, my IOS may have been updated, and I've run a malware removal program on my computer. I curently have iTunes 11.1.3.8  and iOS 7.0.4.  I read the posts and verified ICloud was turned off. 
    I really need to be able to sync my computer and iphone again.  Any suggestions?

    So you'll either need to attempt further repair yourself or take the iPhone to some unauthorized repair shop, pay them, and hope they fix it correctly.
    The iPhone 5 has no Touch ID, and an iPhone 5S should still be under warranty, so I'm puzzled as to what you really have and were attempting. If you do have a 5S, why you didn't get it serviced under warranty?
    Regards.

    Connection attempt to browsing iTunes Store was successful.
    Connection attempt to purchasing from iTunes Store was successful.

  • I recently changed my email address and need to change my icloud account both on my itunes and iphone. how do I do this without completely wiping the phone?

    I recently changed my email address and need to change my icloud account on both my itunes and iphone. How do I do this without completely wiping the phone.
    Also I tried to update to iOS6 and it is asking for my password under my old signin and locked me out of my phone.
    What can I do?
    Thanks

    This explains how to change your ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621.  After changing your ID you will need to go to Settings>iCloud, delete the existing account (which only deletes it from your device, not from iCloud), then sign back in with the new ID.  To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the existing account.
    If you are signed into your account on your Mac, you will need to go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

  • I have an old app in my updates but no longer have the app on iTunes and iPhone 4s. How can i remove it?

    I have an old app in my updates but no longer have the app on iTunes and iPhone 4s. How can i remove it? It is beyond annoying, as it constantly has the badge noticfication but can't update the app as it is no longer avaliable. Help!!!

    Unfortunately the app isn't avaliable in the Australian store only avaliable to download in the UK store, very confussing as it is definitely not in my iTunes or on my iPhone. I don't understand how or why it managed to get to updates. I just want to delete it or at least get rid of the notification badge for it. 

  • Sync session failed to start with itunes and iphone 5

    sync session failed to start with itunes and iphone 5

    Restart your computer
    While your computer is restarting, clear all of the applications from the background on your iPhone. You can do this by pushing the home button twice and swiping the programs off the screen by pushing them upwards.
    After you are done doing that, restart your phone.
    Wait about 10 seconds or so and turn your phone back on. By the time you get your phone back on your computer should be completly restarted and ready to go.
    When your phone is back on, plug it into your computer. This should automatically bring up your Itunes, you may get another pop up that says autoplay, you can close that out. That's it. I hope it helps and good luck
