Itunes will not update iphone software

My iphone 3g is in need of latest software upgrade, but when I click on the upgrade icon in itunes, the message appears stating that the version of itunes is up to date. Hints?

When I plug my iPhone 3GS 4.1 into my iMac (OS 10.4.11), it backs up and transfers everything. Then i click update and it comes up with: This Version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version
How do I update to iPhone OS 4.2? Any help greatly appreciated!!

  • Possible that itunes will not update iphone OS while overseas?

    hi, im in australia, and i was thinking about getting the iphone 3gs through the local australian network carrier here, however, a friend of mine said that whenever he returns to his home country with the contract phone that he obtained under a plan with yes optus (australian network carrier) he told me that it is not possible to update the phone or download any apps through the local itunes store in his home country. to confirm this rumour, i head down to a 3 (another australian network carrier) retail store to enquire about the plan while at the same time asking about the rumour, a sales person said that it might be possible that itunes will not update an australian phone with an non australian IP address...is this true? because purchasing an iphone and not being able to update it while i too return to my home country would render the phone quite pointless. could someone please get back to me and confirm if this is true and if there is any possible solutions without hacking the phone? ohh and by the way, the network carriers do legally unlock the phones for their customer when anyone needs to go overseas

    If your phone is locked to the Australian network, then you can only roam in Malaysia. If it's unlocked, you can get a SIM card from a Malaysian provider.
    iTunes, however, is country specific. You cannot access Australian iTunes from another country. For example, I'm in the US, and I can't access iTunes from other countries.
    If your phone is unlocked, and you have a local SIM card, you should be able to access your local version of iTunes. No problem.

  • ITunes will not update iPhone 3GS to 4.3.5

    I asked this question in the iPhone Hardware discussions but after reading around the support discussions it seems my iTunes is the trouble.  I have an iPhone 3GS and when I hook it up to iTunes there is a message stating that there is a new update for the iOS from my current 4.1 to 4.3.5.  When I click on the update button, a window pops up stating that iTunes version 9.1 is the latest version but there is nothing about the update to the iPhone.  Any ideas?
      Thanks
    Blaster

    Oh how I love maccies sense of sarcasm.
    No other phone wipes itself out upon update again and again.
    This happen to me twice before (3 to 4 anf 4.1 to 4.3)
    Yet it reamains to see
    If Immortality unveil
            A third event to me,
    So huge, so hopeless to conceive,
           As these that twice befell.
    Apple control is all we know of heaven,
           And all we need of ****.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • My mac computer will not update new software

    Hi
    My IMac is very old and is not under warranty anymore just for reference. I have taken my computer to an Apple Retailer to get major problems fixed before and the issue's subsided. But one problem is still here.
    My IMac will not update new software, everytime I have attempted to update my software before and it does nothing, if the software happens to load and finish then when it says "to finish the update you will need to restart your computer" that is the problem, my computer cannot update new software because it does not restart properly and therefore cannot do any initail updating and it is becomming very fustrating. I have no idea what to anymore. I have pretty much just given up the fact that my computer is completely ancient.

    What happens when you try?
    Are you updating OTA or via iTunes?

  • HT4623 my 2nd. generation ipod will not update the software from 2.2 to 4

    my 2nd. geration ipod will not update the software from 2.2 to 4 or 6.

    Are you sure you have a 2G? A 1G can only go to 2.1 via iTunes but a 1G can go as high as 3.1.3 that you get here:
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    Identifying iPod models
    To If you do have a 2G that can go to 4.2.1 by:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    For 4.2.1 you need iTunes version 10.X and that requires OSX 105.8 or later.
    If you have 10.4.11 you can only go to iOS 4.1 since that OSX can on go to iTunes 9.X

  • Itunes will not update.  I get an message saying that it cannot verify signature and it will not install, itunes will not update.  I get an message saying that it cannot verify signature and it will not install

  • Itunes will not update to a newer version.

    Itunes will not update to a newer version. The error received sates an older version could not be removed.

    The error is specifically an older version of Itunes could not be removed.
    Many thanks, alex. We'll first try the iTunes variation of my standard instructions, then.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • I've changed iPad carriers but iTunes will not update the carrier settings,

    I've changed iPad carriers but iTunes will not update the carrier settings, stating that the requested resource could not be found. Does anyone know how I can download the ipcc file and force an update.

    Your iPad may already have the latest carrier settings, especially if you have updated to iOS 4.3.3.

  • 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

  • HT1229 itunes will not update ipod cache for iPhoto 11

    My itunes does not update my iphone 4s to the latest pictures loaded onto iphoto 11, no updates available. Any clues as to what is wrong, could Pixelmator be the problem?

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
    Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.
