iTunes keeps popping up a dialog box that says "An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it?" What is this? When I click on the "Learn More" button in the dialog box it takes me to a generic iTunes support page that has no relevance to carrier settings.
I got this three times within the last 4 hours and have been getting it almost every day since I use my new iPhone 6 - over a week now. This happens almost every time I connect the phone to my MacBook Pro, although every time I confirm and it indicates successful update.
It is highly unlikely that my carrier updates settings on daily basis or three times a day. It is almost surely a bug in the Apple system and anything but a timely and effective solution is unacceptable.
For debugging information, I recovered a backup from my former iPhone 5 onto the new one, using the same carrier and SIM.

When I tried to sync my 4G iphone factory unlocked to iTunes I got this message "An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it now?" Should I hit "Download and Update"? or "Learn More" ?
I have a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS (eg: purchased from Apple). I received the same message at some point and eventually (after reading a bit more) accepted "Download and Update". No problem. No apparent bad effects. It just seems to update things specific to the carrier (Bell Mobility in my case).

What does this mean on iTunes "An update to the carrier settings for our iPhone is available. Would you like to download it now?" Should I allow it?
It means that an update to your carrier settings is available!
Yes, you should allow it. -

In using it, I found out other's have had this issue and it likely means you have a 3G iPad? If you do, go into settings and turn off cellular data, then try to update again and you should be OK........ -
Hello,
this morning I received the following error message when the iPhone connected to iTunes: i
tunes could not check for an update to the carrier settings for your iphone. an unknown error occurred (1635)
any ideas? thxI get the same error (although in Dutch ;-)).
It also says something like (I'm translating): "Make sure your network settings are correct and your networkconnection is active or try again later." Is there a way to find out these "correct networksettings"?
I now get it for a week, eacht time I connect my iPhone to itunes... -

Have problem with "Check for Updates" for iTunes or accessing iTunes stores. Called Apple support locally in Singapore who couldnt help resolve the problem and was directed to helpdesk in Norway but after hours on the phone, they still could not solve the problem. They are also referring solutions from iTunes support FAQs to go through the problem I encountered. In the end, they said will escalate the matter to next level and will contact me back but they never did. Other error message include "A program caused iTunes to stop working..."
I am using a SONY Vaio with Windows 8. Current iTunes version is 11.1.3.8. Disappointed with Apple Support. I was able to do backup with itunes though. Appreciate anyone who encountered similar problem to share the solution. Thanks.I got the same error but I think I know what's wrong with my situation. My iPhone 4 is programmed for a CDMA carrier that Apple doesn't support. I have limited ability with the phone... but I still love it.

If you have iOS 7.1 then you must be a developer, so you should be posting in the developer forums : https://devforums.apple.com/index.jspa

ITunes could not update the carrier settings on your iPhone
When I try to download and install the new carrier settings file, I get the message "iTunes could not update the carrier settings on your iPhone. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." (I got a similar message when I tried to download and install the OS update.)
I've been able to work around the problem by creating a different user and installing from there. But I'd like to be able to find and correct the cause of the error message instead of using a workaround. It seems like there's a file or folder somewhere that has somehow become read-only. Does anyone know where iTunes downloads the carrier settings and OS update files?Jim VanLeeuwen wrote:
You will find them in separate folders within your user account Library/iTunes folder.
That was it. Somehow the owner of ~/Library/iTunes got changed to root.

Have you tried using Disk Utility to Repair Permissions?
Right after I posted the message I thought that the age-old placebo of repairing permissions might actually fix my problem. Because of your quick reply I found the ownership problem before repairing permissions. So here was the perfect chance for a test. Repair Permissions ran successfully but the owner of ~/Library/iTunes was still root. Repair Permissions fails the test.
I manually changed the owner to steve and was able to download and install the carrier settings.
Thanks! -
So I went ot update my ipod on itunes....and a box appeared saying to make sure the internet setting are correct and active, but my internet is working fine. What do I do?
Sounds like this:
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem -

Trying to play iTunes to airtunes, I get a box that says I can't have more that 5 authorized computers. I don't have 5 computers. What do I do?
For small, independent developers, this "not commonly downloaded" error is a common issues in browsers. You can see complaints from developers here:

I have placed the setup program inside a .zip file to as a workaround.
Thanks for reporting this! -
A while ago, I was cleaning out some old pictures and music from my computer. I noticed there were a lot of songs that I did not recognize, and they had nothing to do with my itunes. I figured my step-dad or sister might have put those songs on my computer or something. So I deleted a few of them. The next day or so I realized all my music was gone from my itunes. I still had the account but everything was wiped clean, my music and playlists. I plugged in my ipod hoping it would restore all my music but nothing happened, I still had my music on my ipod and my cell phone. A friend of mine took my ipod, and put all of the music on a hard drive, gave me the hard drive and I transferred all of it in a folder onto my desktop. Then I drug that entire folder into my itunes library. When I click to play a song through itunes a box pops up and says "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" When I click on the song to play it in the folder, it will go to itunes and then play it through there. But I cant just go click on the song in my itunes and play it.
It means the media is not where iTunes expects it to be.
iOS devices are not and have never been backup devices.
Are the files in question still on the computer?
If not, you should restore them from the backup of the computer. You do have a backup, correct?
