Just download iOS 4.2 now, install later?

OK, I forgot the procedure to do this. I thought it was to hold the option key when clicking update but that is for AFTER the download. What is the key command to just download the update?

Connect your device and select it from iTunes' sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in the iTunes main window, then click on the Update button. The rest is automatic. The update will be downloaded, your device will be backed up, then the new software will be installed after which your device is restored from the backup.
You cannot "just download the update."

  • I just downloaded ios 7 and now my phone won't open, anyone know how I can open it?

    I downloaded ios 7 and at first my phone worked fine, I locked my phone and now I cant unlock it even though when someone calls the phone rings.  Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    Hello there, Mark2s.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers some great steps for troubleshooting your issue with charging your phone:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
    Particularly:
    If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • I have just downloaded ios 7 and now my ibooks is not me default PDF reader. It is not recognised at all when it comes to using a PDF file and this is not good as I have folders on ibooks which I wish to add to but now cannot

    I would like help as I cannot find another app that works where it will store files in folders

    I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
    As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
    I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
    As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

  • I just downloaded ios 7 but because I have an older version of iTunes, my phone won't connect. However, I can't download iTunes 11 because my mac is too old. Any suggestions?

    Just downloaded ios 7. Now my iphone won't connect to iTunes. It says I need Itunes 11. However, I'm running OS 10.5.8 which ITunes 11 doesnt recognize. Any suggestions other than buying a new Mac?

    Upgrade your Mac to OS X "Snow Leopard". You need an Intel Mac (no PowerPC).
    Purchase Snow Leopard from Apple:
    Online (US): http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Online (UK): http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Germany: http://store.apple.com/de/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Elsewhere: call the phone number in the Apple Online Store
    Apple's price is $19.99, £14.00, €18.
    Once installed run Software Update which will update OS X to version 10.6.8. You can then download and install iTunes 11.

  • I just downloaded IOS 8.5.3 on my iPad3. Now I cannot open it. Whenever I touch the screen Siri tells me what I am doing, but nothing works: I cannot enter my password and I cannot slide to open. I am frozen out from my iPad

    I just downloaded IOS 8.5.3 on my iPad3. Now I cannot open it. Whenever I touch the screen Siri tells me what I am doing, but nothing works: I cannot enter my password and I cannot slide to open. I am frozen out from my iPad

    you are right about the IOS number. I couldn't access my iPad so I guessed and guessed wrong about the number. It was the latest upgrade offered by Apple for my iPad, which I dowloaded and installed. I have done some sleuthing and discovered that some of the problems are the result of the Accessibility - Voiceover being activated. Once I figured that out, I was able to navigate somewhat better, though I now cannot turn Voiceover off. I slide the button and it just revert to On. The other problem I have now discovered that the iPad only rarely will accept my password. This is a password that I know and love and use many times during the day (as all of us iPhone and iPad users do) Now it seems to reject my password 80+% of the time. I would disable password protection if I could. I think I am going to have to talk to Apple directly but wonder if anyone else has had this kind of trouble with the newest IOS. It worked fine on my iPhone.
    I will try triple tapping the home button if I can ever get it opened again.

    Hello, I just downloaded ios 8 for my 4s iphone and now it will not connect to itunes on my mac. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello wedge60,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning device recognition issues:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    If you haven't connected your iOS device to this computer before, unlock the device and tap Trust. Learn more about the Trust This Computer alert.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Restart your Mac.
    Make sure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
    Check USB connections. iOS devices need USB 2.0 to work properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, check the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Try another USB cable.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • I just downloaded IOS 8 on my Iphone 5 and to do so i had to delete all my photos to clear space, but before so I selected all of them and copied them. Now were can i go to paste all 400 of them and get them back ?

    I just downloaded IOS 8 on my Iphone 5 and to do so i had to delete all my photos to clear space, but before so I selected all of them and copied them. The only place I can seem to be able to paste and see them is while making a new message in gmail and then when i tried to send them the message comes back blank and looks like below. what can i do to retrieve them?
    <Edited by Host>

    As razmee209 said, you can use iTunes to install photos on your phone from wherever you have them stored. Where did you copy them to? Are you saying you selected them on you phone and just hit "copy"? That would only copy one at a time to the "clipboard" so that you can paste it somewhere else. As you copy each one, the previous one is deleted from the clipboard. This is not a storage area. Did you back them up on your computer or in iCloud?

  • I just downloaded iOS 6 on my iPhone 4 and now can no longer open internet links that were texted to me.  Anyone else having the same problem?

    I just downloaded iOS 6 on my iPhone 4 and now can no longer open internet links that were texted to me.  Anyone else having the same problem or know how to fix this? 

    The SMS links thing is highly annoying. You don't have to copy/paste however. You should see an icon like this: (>) to the right of the text bubble with the link. Tap on that, the in the screen that opens, tap "Visit".
    Alternatively, you can tap twice directly on the link, then hold your finger down after the second tap.
    Still unnecessarily difficult, but not as bad as copy/paste.
    What I don't get is why can't I find any mention of this change or how to fix it (if even possible) elsewhere online?

  • HT1212 i just downloaded ios 7.0.2 on iphone 4 and it is now asking for a pass code which i did not even set up do??

    i just downloaded ios 7.0.2 on iphone 4 and it is now asking for a pass code which i did not even set up do??

    I have an ipod 5g. i changed my passcode and then got a notification of a 7.0.2 update. i updated and now my passcode wont work? im certain that i entered the right passcode. i would try resetting on my macbook, but the screen is shattered.

  • I just downloaded ios 6.1.2 and now my iphone 4 wont hook up to a charging device

    i just downloaded ios 6.1.2 and now my iphone 4 wont accept a charging device there is no error message, there is no little lightening bolt in the battery icon to show its charging, i have tried several cords and several wall outlets and hard rebooted my iphone several times and still it wont charge.  if there is anybody that can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

    I believe what is happening is that when charge gets below a certain level (maybe less than 5% remaining), the indicator stops properly functioning.  I'm experiencing this issue on both my iPhone and iPad and if I leave them plugged in, eventually they start charging or showing that they are charging.  I'm traveling so this is the first time on 6.1.2 that my devices have been below 10% since the update.  I bet in the last update, to appease those with drain issues, the battery charge indicator was manipulated much in the same way the celluar bars were several years ago for those who where "holding" their phones incorrectly.

  • Just downloaded iOS 6. Cannot view maps at street level now. Any solutions?

    Just downloaded iOS 6. Cannot view maps at street level now. Any solutions? Apple help told me I cannot delete iOS 6 and go back to 5.1.1

    Apple is constantly working on improving their new Maps service, but until it reaches the level of finesse necessary to be usable, take a look at some alternatives.
    Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bing/id345323231?mt=8
    You can use Google Maps by creating a shortcut to the Home Screen with help from the article below.
    http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/09/20/how-to-get-google-maps-on-ios-6
    MapQuest also has a very nice app available.

    Nokia Maps is another great service that you can add to your Home Screen via a web shortcut.

    Waze is another very well reviewed app.

  • I just downloaded iOS 6 and my phone now won't turn on. I've tried the lock and home buttons but nothing works. I need help!!

    So I just downloaded iOS 6 then my phone turned off and not it won't respond to any buttons I press. Please help ASAP!!

    I also have this problem, having started the update with the iPhone connected to my laptop.
    However, when I plug in the iPhone to the ac adapter instead of my laptop, it turns on, directing me to swipe to go to the next the step. The next step, however, tells me to connect to iTunes by USB. So, same dilemma. Has anyone figured out how to get past this?
