Itunes showed there was an update (IOS 4.1) but failed to download

Hi all, there was an option to update my IOS to the latest version, 4.1 but it failed to download.
In total, i've tried to download and redownload 7 ~ 8 times and it still doesn't allow me to update the IOS. anyone knew anything went wrong anywhere?
BTW, i've installed the latest itunes too.

Here are some direct links for the iOS 4.1 file update for the iPhones. Try these links to bypass iTunes to see if this works.

  • HT4061 I need help, I pluged my iphone and itunes said there was an update to download and update, I did but when itunes was rebooting and updating I got an error message. and now the phone is telling me that it cant be activated.

    I need help, I pluged my iphone to itunes and got a message that said there was an update to download and update, I did but when itunes was rebooting and updating I got an error message. and now the phone is telling me that it cant be activated, to plug it in to itunes or to contact support care.

    That message usually indicates that your phone was hacked to unlock it from the original phone carrier, then when you updated or restored it locked back to that carrier.

  • HT201210 when i plugged my 3gs in a message said there was an update and now it keeps failing and left my iphone with a picture saying plug into itunes which then says unable to contact the server try later ??? any clues ???

    I conected my iphone 3gs to Itunes It says there was an update so i agreed it also recommended I do a back up so I agreed. then half way through the process it failed and a message popped up saying unable to contact server try again later. and alls I have on the phone now is a picture indicating to plug into itunes.
    Any Clues ???? as when I plug in it says I need to restore the phone and it fails again. it was working fine before I did the update 

    Is this phone locked to a cell carrier?

  • HT201442 Just bought a brand new ipod touch a month ago and went in to iTunes. There was an update for me so I downloaded it to my ipod and then it went into recovery mode. Tried to restore it in itunes but was told this device isn't eligible.  Help!!

    Just bought a new ipod touch a month ago.  Went into itunes to burn music and had an update to download which I did. Then I get a message that my ipod has gone into recovery mode. It's locked up with a black screen with iTunes logo and picture of a plugin on the screen. Tried to restore it as recommended but itunes said this device isn't eligible for the requested build. Error codes 3194 and 17. This is very frustrating considering the cost of the ipod and how new it is. Now what do I do?  Buy another one? Can anybody fix these types of things? Is this a common occurance or am I just unlucky?

  • I recieved a notice that there was an update for Elements 13 but when I try to install it it stop's half way through then I get the error message that "updates could not be applied" I have tried several times and it continues to give me the error. What is

    I get a message that an update is available and when I install it the update stops half way through and I get the error code: U44M1I210 for Camera Raw and Elements 13.1 updates. I get the message "UPDATES COULD NOT BE APPLIED" Can someone help with this? Thank you. David

    Thanks for the follow up.
    Is your Premiere Elements 13 on Mac computer?
    I have not seen much in the way of alternatives coming from Adobe on the Premiere Elements 13.1 failed updates.
    But there seems to be several discussions on U44M11210 in the CC products...one
    Update failure. (U44M1I210) | Adobe Community
    You could try the uninstall, free ccleaner, reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s)  and then try for the Help Menu/Update for 13.1..
    If Mac, https://www.piriform.com/mac/ccleaner
    If Windows, CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
    The CC people seem to have the advantage of an online download of their update as well as the one via the Help Menu/Update.
    Premiere Elements does not have that perk - update only via Help Menu/Update.
    Please review and consider and please let us know of your progress as your schedule permits.
    Thank you.

  • My iPad won't open itunes. I have software update iOS 7.1.1 trying to download for days. Is this the problem or something else?

    My iPad  won't open itunes. Wifi ok safari working. Software update trying to download for days 7.1.1. Is this the problem? How to fix?

    If Safari is working otherwise and you can log onto other websites, try clearing Safari and reset your iPad. That might help with the Twitter app as well.
    Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I went to back up my iPhone4 and it said there was an update.  So I clicked  on 'update and backup' (or something close to that.)  It took FOREVER...way longer than usual. When it was done, it showed the power cord w/an arrow to iTunes.  ***??

    I went to back up my iPhone4 and it said there was an update.  So I clicked  on 'update and backup' (or something close to that.)  It took FOREVER...way longer than usual. When it was done, it showed the power cord w/an arrow to iTunes.  ***???  I restarted my computer and tried the whole process again and still...the power cord with an arrow to iTunes.  And I know this means I have to go to Apple and get another phone and will lose anything that wasn't backed up. Anyone else have this happen or have a solution so I don't have to do a restore???

    Reboot your computer.
    Disable your antivirus and firewall.
    Connect the phone to a USB port directly on your computer, not to a hub. If your computer is not a laptop and has ports on both front and back use a port on the back.
    If iTunes does not recognize the phone when you connect it see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If it STILL doesn't work open a command window and type:
       netsh winsock reset
    Then try again. (It seems that a recent Microsoft Windows update may have corrupted network settings; this restores them to the factory default).
    BTW, was there an error number associated with the failed update?

    I have a hard time understanding why I can't contact support about THEIR problem. I plugged my iPhone into my pc. iTunes came up. It said there was an update available for the phone. I accepted that. Clicked on the "download only" because I didn't have the time to install it at that point. It downloaded but didn't stop. It continued to the 'backing up your iPhone' segment then froze. I waited at least an hour with no change. Finally I unplugged my phone..iTunes wasn't responding.I rebooted my pc then tried the same thing again. Same outcome even though I let it "Back Up" for 7-8 hrs while I slept. Same Story...............         iTunes 10.4.0.80 is the software I'm using. When my phone is 'plugged' in what I see on it's face is "Sync in Progress".....for hours!

    Error 1611
    This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Synced media like apps and music are not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes. You can redownload iTunes purchases by:

  • ITunes Match: There was a problem with your payment type.

    iTunes Match: There was a problem with your payment type.
    There was a problem with your payment type that prevented the automatic renewal of your subscription to iTunes Match. To renew your subscription and to regain the ability to store your entire music collection on iCloud and enjoy it on your iOS devices, iTunes, and Apple TV, you will need to update your payment information. iTunes Match stores not only your songs purchased on the iTunes Store, but all of the other great music you have acquired over the years, including music from CDs.
    To update your payment information or manage your subscription, sign in to iTunes on your computer and go to your Account Information page. Your matched and uploaded tracks will be removed from iCloud in 90 days, so renew your subscription now and keep all of your music in the cloud so you can listen to it anytime, anywhere.

    If you are the original owner of the phone and know the Apple ID and password that were used to activate it originally, and if you have an existing backup to restore from, you can force it into recovery mode (which will completely erase it) and restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.  When you do you will encounter activation lock, and will have to provide the ID and password used to activate it originally in order to activate it again.  If you can't, you won't be able to activate and use it.
