Problem updating iPhone software 4.0.2

When I try to download the new update (4.0.2) it spends around 15 minutes downloading and then says
'Unable to complete download due to Network error. Your network has timed out. Please check network settings and try again'
The exact same thing happens when I try and do the update on my iPad(3.2.2) too.
As far as I am aware there is no problem with my network (I assume this means my broadband line?). This has been happening for three days now and after trying to download over ten times I am stumped. Any ideas?

Hi, i also trouble with the 3g network. I couldn't make/rec calls or send/rec text msgs but i could email - odd. I rang apple and they had me turn off the 3g setting and now i can use me phone. I assume this is a vodaphone issue and not my phone's fault as i first thought. Just an idea if any one is having similar probs.

  • Having problems updating iphone software to version 5.0

    I currently have version 4.3.1 and finally decided to update iphone software to version 5.0.  It goes through the 6 minute process, but then I get the error message:  "There was a probem downloading the software for the IPhone -----.  The network connection ttimed out.  Make sure your network setting are correct and your network connection is active or try again later."
    I've tried several times and keep getting the same message.  My network connection is active and I've just the firewall and made sure it allows itunes updates.
    Please help!  Any other suggestions?  When answering please be very specific - I'm really clueless with the computer. 
    Thanks in advance!

    try this,
    Plug in, click update software, and click download ONLY.
    Let the ipsw file download complete,... then click update.
    This way is much better. If you keep having error message, its either your internet connection is inconsistent or Apple's server is inconsistent... usually more likely the former.

  • Problem updating iphone software version 4.3.3

    Every time I have tried to update the iphone software when prompted by itunes it crashes, sometimes at the end of the update sometimes before. It comes up with an error message every time. Please can someone help?

    First thing I'd do is check that I have the latest version of iTunes. This has cought me out a few times. Other thing that I've experienced is a iTunes seems to think there is a problem with my USB socket, so I've tried another and it's worked fine.
    But yes what is your error and error number?

    Well the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
    The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
    Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
    Good Luck

    While updating iphone software to 5.0.1, I am getting error that Iphone could not be updated because the firmware file not compatible.
    Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

    Using iTunes 10.5.2.11 on a PC running 64 bit Windows 7
    First did a full back up of  iphone using iTunes
    Put iphone into Recovery Mode ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 ). Erases all user data and settings!
    Disconnected USB cable from iphone
    Powered off iphone by holding down Sleep/Off button until slider appeared, slid to off, waited until screen dark
    Pressed and kept holding Home button while plugging cable back into phone
    I still saw the graphic on the iphone that said to plug into iTunes, so I unplugged and re-plugged cable. (I may have released the Home button too soon)
    Recovery Mode alert came up in iTunes.
    Followed all iTunes prompts to restore phone - it downloaded and sucessfully installed iOS 5.0.1
    iphone did not appear in iTunes due to missing pairing file (that made me nervous)
    iphone was now at factory settings. I followed prompts on iphone screen to start reactivation process
    Eventually the iphone asked if I wanted to restore from a back-up (whew!)
    A window opened in iTunes and I was able to select my previous back-up file for the restore
    A full restore from back-up then occured
    I also allowed a carrier settings update to occur when prompted (not sure that happens in all cases)
    When the restore was done I had to re-enter some passwords, but everything was there
    iOS is now 5.0.1 (9A406). The whole process took about an hour.

  • I've downloaded the ios7 to my iphone but it didn't verify so I connected my iphone to itunes and updated it .. it's now stuck half way through saying 'updating iphone software' it's been like that for 40 mins .. should I be worried?

    I've downloaded the ios7 software to my iphone but it didn't let me install it over air so I connected my iphone to itunes and updated it .. it's now stuck half way through saying 'updating iphone software' it's been like that for 40 mins .. should I be worried?

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to activate after the update, and the server is getting overloaded. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

  • ITunes not recognising network connectio to update iPhone software

    Installed new iTunes on iMac. Trying to update iPhone software.  iTunes says network connection could not be established.  All other network connections are working fine.

    Correct, and read the other 100 posts about this today.  You and the owners of a couple of other million i-devices are all trying to update at the same time and you're encountering a traffic jam.
    Some have said changing DNS servers helped, or maybe it is snake oil.

  • Attempting to update iphone software via pc.  itunes engaged.  back up does not appear to have occurred.  device now locked requesting restore action.  anyway to save photos in this status?  or restore after ?

    attempting to update iphone software via pc. itunes engaged. back up does not appear to have occurred.  device now locked. requesting restore action.  anyway to save photos in this status? or restore after?

    it was just the biggest mistake of today, not my life :P
    restoration steps i took were:
    1. connect the dead phone to another pc with itunes turned on
    2. follow the notifications on that itunes
    3. restore the phone
    4. disconnect the phone after the restoration without clicking any buttons of that itunes
    5. connect the phone to my own pc
    6. my own pc can recognize the phone and itunes will try to restore the backup of my phone
    7. restore from the backup on my pc
    8. sync everything (tick all the apps in itunes manually since there is no such button to select all) and reorganize all the apps
    9. after ca. 25 min, the phone is back to the previous sw version

  • I can't update iPhone software - it is telling me that I am not connected to the Internet - I have checked my connection

    Can anyone let me know what to do - I am connected to the Internet but iTunes is telling me there is no connection when I try to update iPhone software? Thanks

    If you are using a Windows based computer, could be security software and or the firewall preventing the update process.

    I am running on 10.6 OS X, iTunes 9, my phone backed up successfully, but it's sitting at the Updating iPhone Software for nearly an hour now. It is at around 75% on that step and looks like its only 10% on the phone itself.

  • When I updated Iphone software and synchronized with MacBook, newest calendar entries were deleted. Other experiences with this? If so, how do I prevent this? I have Iphone 3G

    On at least 2 occasions, when I updated Iphone software and synced with MacBook, my newest calendar events were deleted. The information in Ical and on IPhone reverted to an older version of events instead of defaulting to the new information. I know of at least 1 other person who experienced this; is this a common occurrence? What is the reason for it and the remedy? How do I prevent this from happening in the future?

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.
