My iphone 4s won't update to ios 6! please help!

My iphone 4s won't update to ios 6! I tried by my iphone it takes so long updating then it ends saying error!! I tried by using iTunes too, when it's done and installing it says error too!! this got me crazy!! any solution ? please help!

I got instructions to connect my iPhone4 to iTunes. Each time I was prompted to restore the phone, I ended up getting an error message that the iPhone could not be restored. I checked that I had the latest version of iTunes-I did. I tried two more times and got the same error message. I disconnected the usb/phone, closed iTunes, and restarted the computer. This time the restore worked and iOS6 loaded. Unfortunately, the last backup to iCloud that I was told I had was in June. Don't know why this happened as it should have backed up every day. Now I am working through restoring my settings and apps from the last three months. Thankfully, I didn't 'upgrade' my iPad, so I have a template off of which to work. I hope this helps.

  • IPhone 5s won't update to iOS 8.0.2

    My iPhone 5s won't update to iOS 8.0.2. I had been using beta versions of iOS 8 but even though there is a '1' in the Software Update box, it tells me my software is up to date (iOS 8).
    However, I also get messages telling me my current iOS will expire in x days. I now have dozens of apps waiting to update, telling me I have to upgrade to iOS 8.0.1 or later.
    I've tried to manually install iOS 8.0.2 but I get a message saying the firmware isn't compatible.
    Any ideas?

    Ask in the developer forum; someone there should be able to help you.

  • Brand new iPhone 5s won't update to iOS 7.0.2

    I just got a 5s about five hours ago and it won't update to iOS 7.0.2 because it says it's still restoring- it's not. I've tried restarting the phone but that didn't help.

    Did you setup as new iPhone or restore from iCloud? If iCloud it must be doing restore in background for apps and data. Check in settings -iCloud and wait for couple off hours.

  • IPhone 4 won't update to iOS 7

    My mom's iPhone decided to automatically update for iOS 7 over night and now it's stuck in recovery mode. We've followed the instructions and left it plugged it to iTunes but it never downloads the update. It continuously pops up with a screen saying the phone needs to be reset to factory settings. This is extremely aggravating since her phone doubles as a house phone. Is anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it? I updated my iPhone 4S with ease so I don't understand what the issue is with my moms phone.

    Sorry I mistook it for the other update, try resetting your phone and then like posted above go under the general tab to check for software update, make sure you are linked to wifi

  • IPhone 5 won't update to iOS 8

    Hey there I seem to be having this software update with my iPhone 5 software. Previously when iOS 7 had come out... I had tried to update my phones software by using iTunes and it would go 3/4 way through and a message would come up saying that the software update was unsuccessful or cancelled. So I just ignored it and continued using my old software. This past week, I had tried to update my phone software to iOS 8 using Wifi methods and it did the very same thing again.
    I don't know what is happening with it and I would really appreciate your help.
    Thanks

  • My iphone 4 won't update to ios 7

    Dear Apple,
    The saturay after ios 7 came out I tried to update it over wifi on my iphone, but I got an error message. So I gave up and told myself to try again later that week and so yesterday and today I tried and on my phone it said I did not have the correct amount of space, but I did and I had just deleted somethings to make room anyways. So today I tried on my Macbook Pro, and it said I did not have the right build and so now I am here writing to you.
    Sinceraly,

  • IPhone 5S won't update to iOS 8.3

    I have a 5S and am on iOS 8.0.2 at the moment. As the title says, it won't update to 8.3. It is downloaded, and I click Install Now and get as far as accepting the terms and agreements, and then it does nothing. It just stays on the terms and agreements page. The phone doesn't freeze, and I can close Settings, re-open and try again, but it just does the same thing. Any suggestions? Am I being thick and there is a simple explanation?!

    Did you try to use the computer and iTunes instead?

  • My iPhone 5c won't update to IOS 8.3?

    I've recently heard about the new update with the emojis and I tried to update it but it wouldn't work. I got to the terms and conditions and accepted them but it just took me back to my home screen. Please help if you know how to fix this or if you think you know (:

    First, make sure your phone is connected to wifi and plugged into a charger! If that doesn't work, try resetting your device! Hold down both the home and sleep buttons until your device forces itself to shut down. When it reboots test it! If that doesn't work, factory reset your device and try again! Make sure you backup your phone beforehand! If that doesn't work, the only option is to contact the guys at Apple!
    Hope this was helpful!!

  • Im having Iphone 3GS purchased from USA right now im in India so if i update my ios from 4 to 5 will my phone get locked..? if so can how to unloack that? i want to update the ios 5 please help

    im using iphone 3GS with ios 4.1;the iphone is purchased from USA and unlocked;I live in India so if I update to IOS 5 will my phone get locked? if so how to unlock in that case? please help

    No 3GS sold in the US was ever unlocked officially. Any attempts to update a hacked or un-officially unlocked iPhone will likely result in it being relocked to the original carrier.

  • HT1311 Since resetting my apple id on my iphone 4s, My apps won't update. Can you please help as this is frustrating, not having my mobile up to date. Many Thanks.

    Since resetting my apple id, my iphone 4s will not update my apps
    I have downloaded apps but will not update the existing ones. I
    Have contacted apple for help but to no benefit. I'd appreciate any
    Help to get my apps up to date as it's frustrating not having my phone
    In proper working order.
    Many Thanks.

    Double tap the Home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar. Tap & hold any app shown until they all start to wiggle. Tap the red minus sign next to every app shown & remove them all from the multi-tasking bar. Tap the Home button when finished. Now, reset your phone: Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
    Try now...same result?

    Goto --
    My Computer --> C Drive--> Windows --> System32-->Drivers-->Etc--> Host File
    -Cut (remove) this host file and past it on desktop.
    -Now comeback to itunes - provided you have fresh itune installation after removing it COMPLETELY from your system (Ref- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923?viewlocale=en_US).
    -Plug in your iphone to  your windows via active USB port (no hub) and with good internet connection.
    - Repeat  the ios update process and avoid doing multitasking ( I was lil careful... :)).. And that worked for me ...updation took max 10 min's.
    - Once the ios updation process is done , follow the instructions and complete the ragistration process. restart your iphone and its on ios 6 EnJOY !
    - Put the HOST file back to its original  path.
    If this resolves your problem , Like it :-)

  • HT4623 I cannot update to iOS 8, please help!

    I cannot update to iOS 8 because i get the not enough storage error, even though i have 4.6GB free, according to usage. What can i do? Except using itunes because i'm on holiday and i do not have acces to a computer.

    I see, but how large is this update? Aren't 4GB enough? This is pretty weird
    It seems to have ranged from about 4.6 to (in my case on a 5S) 5.6 gigs. As with any software download, the amount of space required to download and install the update directly on the phone is much larger than the amount the software actually takes up.

  • Iphone 3g won't connect to wifi. Please help!

    I have had an iphone 3g for a couple of years now. For the last month it has been unable to connect to any wifi. I have tried everything from restoring it to updating my software. Nothing has worked. The only times I have been able to connect to wifi is when I have accidently dropped my phone. I was able to stay connected for a couple of hours. When I try to connect to wifi it says "unable to join the network (name of network)". Can someone please help me!

    I assume you have rebooted the phone, as that is a basic step.
    Go to Settings/General/Reset and tap Reset Network Settings. This may or may not fix it.
