ITunes says iphone is up to date

itunes says the iphone is up to date, but it isn't updating iphone to iOS5

If the tag under your question stating you have the iPhone 3G is correct. That model is not supported with iOS 5. The latest and last iOS the iPhone 3G supports is iOS 4.2.1.
I hope this helps.

cant update to ios 5 as itunes say's its up to date when it is ios 4.2.1 help please

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
iPhone 3G can be updated to iOS 4.2.1, so you use an iPhone 3G

Why does my itunes say software is up to date for my iphone when it is version 4.2.1??

my tunes does not show the most recent updates for my iphobe?? I have the lates itunes 10.5 downloaded, what am i not doing?? Apparently there are several updates and i didn't know about it because my itunes doesnt alert me...how do u fix this???? yes, i am not that tech-savvy...thanks for ur help

The software for your phone and iTunes are two different sets of code. They work together to be sure but if your iPhone is up-to-date at 4.2.1 then it is a 3G model and cannot be updated to iOS5, because it is not supported for iCloud. Your iTunes on the other hand can certainly be version 10.5 on Snow Leopard, but that will still not get you iOS5 for your IPhone. It is sometimes difficult to keep all the numeric designations straight especially when so many of the numerals mirror one another. Your computer uses OSX 10.6.8 = Snow Leopard; you say that your iTunes version is 10.5; your iPhone uses iOS4.2.1.

My new iPhone5 can't download iTune library. I have iTunes 10.6.3. iTunes says I'm up to date. And I have latest retina mac laptop (at least 10.7). Why can't I download iTunes 10.7?

New iPhone 5 can't download my iTunes library. I tried update to iTunes 10.7 but it (iTunes) says I am current at 10.6.3. I've read on other posts that OS needs to be up to date. But my macBook pro retina-display is at least 10.7. Now what?

Are you able to update to 10.7.0.21 using a .dmg installer downloaded from the Apple website?

M on typed in pascode many time and my iphone 4s says on the screen,diabled connect to itunes,itunes says iphone is locked with passcode.Idont want to loose my contacts and pictures.I do remember my password.What hould i do

my phone was disabled after several passcode atempt by my son,it says connect to itunes,itunes says phone is locked with passcode.I remember my passcode.I dont want to loose my contacts,what hould i do.

If your phone is now disabled, you've already lost all of the data on the phone. That's the whole point of the passcode. Your only choice now is to force the phone into recovery mode and restore it, as described here:

ITunes saying iPhone is over capacity

I have an iPhone 5 16GB and am running the latest version of iTunes on my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro. When I look at the usage section on my phone without it connected to the computer, it says I have 1.5GB available. But when I connect and sync it to the computer, the availability in 'usage' drops to 0 bytes and iTunes says the phone is over capacity by 253mb. Please Help!!!
Thanks

I found the culprit in my case: after update to itunes 12 iPhone is X GB over the limit.
Check your sync settings for each type of content in the left sidebar. In my case I had sync turned off for everything but ringtones. After iTunes update for some reason the entire music library is set to sync with the phone. Turning it off reconciled the storage issue. Perhaps in your case it is some other new content marked for syncing.

Beta expired, iTunes says I'm up to date!

I can't even use my iPad 2 because the activation servers can't be reached. Trying to update in iTunes says my iPad has the current version of iOS. I really don't want to wipe my iPad and have to download 20 gigs of apps again. Help??
Thanks.

I don't HAVE to have it for work but I am a disabled student so not having it at my disposal is a pretty big deal. I won't die but I'm not happy.
When did 10.7.2 come out? I wonder if Apple is just getting slammed. Or is it because Beta 7 expired tonight?
They still handled this extremely poorely. I tried updating through iTunes as soon as iOS 5 went public and it wouldn't let me because it said I was already using the newest version. I guess I have to wait to hear back from my dev but it seems like this would brick a ton of devices and make it really hard to update your device to non-beta status since you can't do it automatically.
If I go over my Comcast cap because I have to redownload everything I'm going to be mad. Didn't realize PO'd was cussing.
I'm also worried because I haven't had any contact with the dev in over a month. So what if I don't hear back??

My iPhone has expired, but my iTunes says i'am up to date.

How can i Update my iPhone? i Use iOS5 beta.

iOS 5.0 is for registerd developers only. As a developer(you are a developer, correct?), you have access to the developer forums to post your question. The NDA you signed prohibits the discussion of beta software in a public forum, like this.

My itunes says it's up to date, but it is not. If I download the new one will I loose all my stuff?

I got the I-phone 5, and when I went to sync it, it said I couldn't because I didn't have Itunes 11. I have 10.6.3, and it says its up to date. It said to download it, but I don't want to loose all my music and movies. How can I do that?

The issue is that the current iTunes (11.0.4) requires at least OS X version 10.6.8 to run.
You must update your OS X first, then update your iTunes.
Note that OS X version 10.6 (Snow Leopard) is now two years old. So I strongly suggest that you move to Lion (OS X 10.7) or Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8) if your machine will support it. Either of these upgrades will cost a bit.

Am trying to sync my new 3gs to itunes.Says "iphone in recovery mode.Must restore the iphone before it can be used with itunes" Am worried bout doing this as phone came with a note saying " Do NOT restore or update software on itunes when asked otherwise

Am trying to sync my 3gs to itunes,keeps coming up with a notice saying! iphone in recovery mode. Must restore the iphone before it can be used with itunes.
Am really worried about doing this as the phone came with a note enclosed saying "Do NOT restore or update iphone software on itunes when asked to otherwise unlock will be lost"
Is it safe for me to restore or will it block my phone?
Can anybody help me please?

Sounds like you purchased a phone that was hacked to run on a network other than the one it was originally locked to.
Where, exactly did you get this phone? If it's already in a state where it says it must be restored, you don't have a choice. If the phone was hacked, it will be re-locked to the network it was originally locked to. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can legitimately authorize unlocking the phone.

ITunes says nano is up to date - doesn't show firmware 1.3?

On my 1st generation nano 2GB iTunes shows the iPod as being up to date even though it's running firmware version 1.2. Is there a way in which I can force it to update to 1.3? Many thanks
HP Pavillion Windows XP

while the ipod is plugged in, try going "help > check for updates". after the itunes dialog box, you should get one saying that firmware 1.3 is available.
(that's how i got the 1.1 firmware to show up for green eyes ... she's a 2nd gen rather than a 1st, though.)

ITunes says iphone in recovery mode after iOS upgrade

Hi everyone - my iPhone 4 is reported as being in recovery mode by iTunes (it has the latest iOs installed) iT says phone needs to be restored via iOs reinstall but after this happens it still states phone in recovery mode? Any help or ideas much appreciated. Thanks M

You probably will have to restore. Have you made a backup of your iPhone recently?

Itunes says iphone is not recognized and cannot be activated for service

I have had some trouble trying to restore my iphone and recently I was asked to restore it again because the phone could not make or receive calls. After restoring my iphone I got this message on itunes and now I can only use the phone for emergency calls. Can anyone please help me?
I am not sure which model it is, I know it is an old one.
Thanks!

I reccomend a re-install of Apple Mobile Device components. This has happened to me with my iPod Touch before.
Apple has now echoed this advice in a Knowledge Base document (#306637) specifically for the issue where the iPhone or iPod Touch is not recognized by the host computer. This can be accomplished by the following platform-specifc processes
Mac OS X
Delete the following files
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleMobileDevice.kext
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DeviceLink.framework
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework
/Library/Receipts/AppleMobileDeviceSupport.pkg
then re-installing the latest version of iTunes.
Windows XP
Quit iTunes and disconnect the iPhone
Go to the Start menu, thenthe Control Panel and open Administrative Tools, then Services.
Select "Apple Mobile Device" then "Stop the service."
After it is stopped, click "Start the service."
Connect the iPhone again, launch iTunes and check for recognition.
Windows Vista
Quit iTunes and disconnect the iPhone
Go to "Start," then search for "Services"
In Programs, click "Services".
Select "Apple Mobile Device" then "Stop the service."
After it is stopped, click "Start the service."
Connect the iPhone again, launch iTunes and check for recognition.

ITunes Saying " "iPhone" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found. ????

Hey Everyone,
I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 5 Beta 2 and am running iTunes 10.5 Beta 2, and, when I try to sync my iPhone 4 it comes up with a "The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be synced. The required cannot be found."
This is the first time this has happened. I have synced many times before and this just now started today. I have no idea why and it is keeping me from Syncing my iPhone which is very annoying.
If anyone has any speculations as to why it is doing this, please, let me know!
Thank you,
Mitchell

I am having the same problem, I think I narrowed down the problem though, when i deselect sync photos from iPhoto it syncs fine and I don not get the message "required file cant be found", but when I select sync photos from iPhoto I get the message.
