My iphone 4 keeps searching the software update
Hi,
My iphone keeps searching for the software update if i tap on it.
Whats up?
iOS 5 or later is required to be able to download and install iOS updates direct with the iPhone.
All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection that is tied to the iTunes account or Apple ID that was used to download the apps. App updates for all apps downloaded with your GF's Apple ID can be updated with your GF's Apple ID only.

I am running Mac OS 10.6.8. For the last few days I have received the Software Update with strong recommendation to download Firefox 5.0. However, each attempt to download fails....the progression bar just keeps stalling.

HT4972 My iphone is missing the software update prompt
I don't have the software update prompt
If your 'sig' is correct you have an iPhone 3G? You therefore cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1 You need a 3GS or later model.
For software update you need iOS 5 or beyond. If you really want it... time to upgrade your phone. -

ThanksHello reneywacky,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Connect your USB cable to your computer but not to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch until step 3.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button down, connect the USB cable to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen. When this screen appears, you can release the Home button:
Note: If the image of a battery appears, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again. If you don't see the Connect to iTunes screen, try these steps 1 through 4 again.
iTunes should automatically open and display the following message:
"iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."Note: If iTunes not open after two minutes, please open iTunes yourself.
Use iTunes to restore the device.
Best of luck,

Hi blue,
Assuming that your Internet connectivity is working fine otherwise—
Try moving (if you'd like to replace it if this doesn't fix the problem) or deleting the file /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.
If that doesn't work, I'd go to Apple's downloads page and get the 10.5.4 combo updater and install that. That might fix it.
Hope that helps!

how do i update the software on an iphone 3gs when the software update option is not in the settings on the phone?
The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

My iphone 5 will not update. Have tried several times. keeps popping up "software update failed"...Howcan I get this toupdate??
This has solved loads of people who have this issue and have used an alternate DNS setting. Below are instructions for both iPhone OTA and on you Mac
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try an OTA (over the air update)
Change DNS Servers
Settings -> Wi-Fi
Click the blue arrow on your connected network
Delete everything in DNS and replace it with 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Try again
If this works, you will probably want to remove the WiFi network using "Forget This Network" and then reconnect to it to get your original DNS servers back. Alternatively, make a note of the original DNS servers before deleting them and replace it after you are done.
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try through iTunes
On your Mac
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Network.
Select the network connection service you want to use (such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, unless you named it something else) from the list, and then click Advanced.
Click DNS, and then click Add at the bottom of the DNS Servers list. Enter the IPv4 address for the DNS server.
You can use OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
or
You can Google Public DNS if you want
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
I have actually repointed my routers DNS so all my devices now point to OpenDNS servers -

I have an iphone 4 with latest software update. When entering the settings for bluetooth it continues to search for devices. It does not highlight any device, just continuous searching
Hello:
What are you trying to do? If you do not wish to connect to other BT devices, turn BT off.

THis is now the 5 th time I have written this !!!
I have a iPhone 4s i did the software update ages ago and lost the camera roll .....then I did the update and all my photos returned ...now on Christmas eve they all dissapeared
I now just albums .... All Photos but that only has 77 photos , and that's it over 1000 photos have just gone ??
PLease help me !!Why should we care how many times you've written this? Are you making multiple threads? Are they being deleted by the Hosts?
Did you make a backup of your iPhone before you updated the iOS?
Did you import the photos to your computer?
Were the photos in the Camera Roll, Photo Stream or synced iTunes albums?
