My iphone and ipad won't upgrade to 5.1 through itunes or OTA.

I get an error message that says "Unable to Check for Update an error occurred while checking for a software update".  My router is a linksys Wrt54gsv4. I think it is the problem.  The firmware for the router is running tomato.

  • Upgraded to iTunes 10.5 and now my iPhone and iPad won't sync

    Please help. I've just upgraded both my iphone and ipad to 10.5 and now neither device will sync. Most of my music and books won't load and I keep on getting an error (An error occurred while restoring this iphone (-69)). Please could anyone help? I'm desperate and I don't know what to do.
    I don't know much about PCs - so layman's terms please.

    I have had this exact same problem with iphone 4.
    How was this resolved?

  • Iphone and ipad won't connect with printer

    I just got an HP photosmart B210A printer. The printer works great with wireless from my pc. When I want to print from my iphone or ipad they see the printer, I press print and all I get is that it is connecting with the printer. Does anyone have any

    Hi,
    On both the iPhone and iPad..
    Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings
    Then restart your devices. Try printing.
    Restarting the router may help also.

  • Iphone AND Ipad won't update to iOS4.2 Itunes updated w newest version

    My Iphone 4 and Ipad 3G will not update to the newest iOS it keeps telling me network was timed out shortly after the download was almost finished...it's been over a month and I STILL get the same thing. I have the newest Itunes. I do not understand why it is not updating.. please help.
    Thank you

    @Deggie
    What do you mean by there is a way to avoid this?
    By taking down all antivirus/antispyware software and firewalls?
    @evil hero inferno wing
    Hmm that's odd it's not working for you. My fiance was having the same issue with upgrading his phone. He took down all his antivirus/antispyware software and firewalls on his own computer and he upgraded his phone with the first try.
    If you have spy ware such as Spy-bot Search and Destroy, Ad-Aware, SuperAnti Spyware and etc, you must turn those off too. I selected "Download and Upgrade".
    If you turned it all off, try the "download only" then once it downloads upgrade it by clicking upgrade? Maybe that will work?
    Also if you have two firewalls, you must turn both off. I had two running without knowing LOL

  • IPhone and iPad don't show up in Windows 7 iTunes

    Using iTunes 10.6.1.7 on my Windows 7 machine I can no longer see my iPhone or iPad when directly connected via USB (I can't see them wirelessly either but that's not the issue).
    I wish I could say when this started, but it's been at least a month and I don't normally connect either device to iTunes (because most of my music is already on the iPhone and because I use DropBox to transfer files to my iPad).  It doesn't appear related to anything new I've done in Windows myself (might have been automatic updates but nothing I've installed or changed in Windows).
    I DID try completely uninstalling iTunes using the procedures outlined by Apple (even manually editing directories to remove traces) and then installed the latest version of iTunes which works well (sees all my Airtune devices, for example) otherwise.  I can see the iPhone in Explorer all right, just not in iTunes.
    I've also tried disabling MacAfee AV and Firewall (there is no Windows firewall) with no luck.  I *did* install a new router a month ago but since my PC does see the iPhone in Explorer I can't see why that would be an issue.
    Any clues as to what to try next?  My fallback position is to use my Macbook Air to connect to iTunes (of course it always works) but since all my music is stored on the PC (with no way to store all that data on my Macbook Air) I'm rather screwed if I go that route.

    Sigh.  Now it seems to be working.
    The *only* thing I did was to go to the router and open up port 3689 (for iTunes sharing) and reboot my machine.  Now, I'm skeptical this had anything to do with "fixing" anything because my wife's computer (also using the same router) syncs just fine with her iPhone and always has.  Now, it's true she's on Win XP, but opening a port on a router (following a VERY old article that Apple said was no longer supported) for iTunes sharing doesn't seem like it would do much in the way of letting me see my iPhone (except that it did).
    (I opened up the port because I was thinking that perhaps my Macbook Air could sync my iPhone IF I could link it to my PC iTunes library -- that's when I found out I couldn't share it until I did the above and then suddenly all started working fine).
    All of this crap makes me feel like the very old man I am (it really shouldn't be this difficult).  But thanks for listening.

  • TS1702 Can any one help my Bluetooth on my iPhone and iPad won't find any devices

    Hi I am trying to use my Bluetooth on my iPad and my iPhone they both keep searching but that's it..I have wifi set up at home not sure if that has any thing to do with it . any help would be much appreciated

    What are they searching for?  Is there a Bluetooth device nearby?  If you don't have a BT device, there is nothing to find.
    By the way, BT has absolutely nothing to do with WiFi.

  • HT1386 iphone and ipad no longer show up as devices in itunes

    my ipad and my i phone no longer show up as devices in I tunes. I have so far shut down and restarted the PC, ipad, iphone, uninstalled and reinstalled the itunes program, done the ''reset all" in settings on my ipad, changed USB ports. Any suggestions?

    On your computer, try going into your control panel, add/remove programs and uninstall iTUnes, apple mobile device service, apple application support. THen redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if it works.

  • Since iOS8 update on 2 iPhones and iPad, they no longer connect wirelessly to OSX iTunes

    Prior to updating my 2 iPhone 5 and iPad2 to iOS 8, they no longer appear wirelessly in iTunes on my Mac - they used to do this, which enabled the shifting of music etc so much easier.  They do show in the sidebar as devices if connected by cable but this is a pain.
    They are all backing up by WiFi.
    Have I missed something or has this option been removed?
    I'd be grateful for any advice.

    WiFi sync does not work in iOS 8. I've filed a bug report with Apple.
    My devices will show up in iTunes immediately after a device reboot, but within 24 hours, WiFi syncing is broken again and they no longer show up.

  • How do I restore events in iPhoto on my phone and iPad after I upgraded to iOS 7

    How do I restore/find "events" in iPhoto on my iPhone and iPad after I upgraded to iOS 7?

    You deleted the iCloud account?
    If so, connect the iPhone to your computer and sync your Contacts and Photos using iTunes.

  • Yes I screwed up iTunes, iPhone and iPad, but I'm sure you guys can fix it, right?

    Ok, so I re-formatted my hard drive and re-installed osx without realizing that I hadn't saved my songs and my aperture library file.  At least i have my 10,000+photos on my external drives in a nice folder structure!
    Here's the catch - I had all songs and apps on my iphone and ipad - when i upgraded to iOS5 on the phone, I lost it all becuase i had to re-sync the phone wiht the computer -
    now i have all my songs and apps on the ipad, but I am still missing my purchased music content.  I have a record of my purchases in the itunes store account section, but how can i get this stuff off the ipad and then sync to my computer/phone?  Anyone? Bueller, Bueller, Bueller?
    Okay mac geniuses and work-arounders, I need some good ideas -
    I did download and use a program called Senuti to get my songs off the ipad, but for some reason it wouldn't copy the purchased content and woudln't copy the apps.
    Good luck!  I'm ready and waiting for all ideas, and A HUGE thank you in advance for all your help!
    Sincerely,
    Mr. Should-have-backed-up-better-but-it-was-3-in-the-morning-and-i-don't-function-w ell-without-sleep

    never-mind- i was able to use file- transfer purchases-
    only weird thing - when i called applecare, they didn't mention this little tid-bit.

  • I have inherited my partners old iPhone and iPad. I have successfully opened an iTunes a/c for myself on the iPad and I phone, but I cannot get change the identities on iCloud, which are still in my partners name.

    I have inherited my partner's old iPhone and iPad. I have successfully created a new iTunes account and got my user name and passwords accepted on both devices. However, I don't know how to change the user details for iCloud on the iPhone. I have done it (I think!!) on the iPad but would appreciate any help for getting my details for iCloud onto the iPhone so I can start sharing photos between the two devices.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

  • How do i delete music with grayed titles in my iphone and ipad. iTunes Match is on

    how do i delete music with grayed titles in my iPhone and iPad. the grayed titles happened when i installed iTunes Match.

    I've done the reset iTunes Match routine turning it on or off in my devices. Everytime its On, it goes thru d scan, match and upload process. When it gets to tge upload stage, it takes sooooo long for just one song to upload, as if d remaining song (2k+) will take years. Anyway, the grayed titles still don't go away. These titles are not exactly missing. I can play those titles because they also appear in my devices as regular content - meaning, the grayed titles are duplicates but don't go away.
    By the way, these grayed titles are viewable only in iTunes Match not on my devices (iPhone 4 and ipad2)
