Problem when getting the new iphone software iOS4

I did the download to get the software but during the download i had a call ... didnt seem to disturb the download.. it then said it was backing up (syncing)... and then it would say "cancelling back up" n stop... ive tried to do it again .. many times and ive even turned both my laptop and my iphone off n retried it. but it goes straight to "backing up" but it cancells again! any help?!

I also had trouble with updating to OS4 through iTunes update. What I did to get around it is this:
1. Set iPhone to airplane mode and wifi off
2. Open iTunes and connect iPhone
3. If update message comes up - cancel (do not download and do not install)
4. Create a backup (via sync and backup)
5. While that is working, go to this site and download the 3GS OS4 firmware to your desktop.

6. When 4 and 5 are complete, disconnect iPhone and reconnect it
7. At the iPhone summary page, "shift + click" restore and select the firmware from the desktop.
8. After upgrading the firmware to OS4, iTunes should recognize that the device has already been associated and offer to restore the most recent backup.

  • Itunes says that i need 10.5 to get the new iphone software, but i already have 10.5 itunes

    itunes says that i need itunes 10.5 to get the new iphone software, but i already have 10.5 itunes.  i cant seem to figure out how to get the new iphone software cause it keeps telling me to download updates, and then it does and update search and says im all updated.

    I had a similar issue.  I had to uninstall iTunes and then reinstall it.  Assuming PC, you have to go to the control panel and use the uninstall applications tool.  Then install it again.  Worked for me.

  • I can't get the new iPhone software to install

    I have iTunes 8.2.1.6 I am trying to update my iPhone to software version 3.0.1
    I have never been asked where I want to download this to. And iTunes happily fills up my OS disk partition and fails #*?&!!!! :-@
    Why on earth would I ever want my iPhone software in my PC operating system partition?!?
    How do I get it to use my data disk partition instead? Also, how much disk space do I need? Apple refuse to tell me, and they won't help me get the update to work. I may have to ask for my money back....

    I realised the location was C:\Documents and Settings\...\iPhone Software Updates
    The update I have downloaded (version 3.0.1) is just under 236MB (or 230MiB). I still have 216MiB left on my C: drive after downloading the file, but when I try to install it, it runs out of space.
    I have moved all the "temp" directories to a different disk partition, and I'm only installing software to this data partition now. Occasionally I have to uninstall and re-install software to maintain this. I also keep having to move stuff (like these update files) out of "Documents and Settings". Sadly I failed to keep my existing user accounts and their settings when I moved this folder to a different partition, so I had to put it back
    What I was asking is how do I change the folder used for either the download or the extracted files? And if this, as I suspect, is not possible, how much free space to I need in my Windows partition?!?

  • When you get the new iPhone 5S they say it come with al the iWork apps for free install already. But if i restore from back-up from an old device which doesnt have any iWork apps would I still receive those iWork Apps?

    Hey Davin12,
    Yes. The apps are not pre-installed, but rather you are prompted to download them the first time you launch the App Store in iOS 7:
    About Free Apple Apps for iOS 7 compatible devices
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5913
    iPhoto, iMovie, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers are free on the App Store for qualifying iOS 7 compatible devices activated or purchased after September 1, 2013
    The first time you launch the App Store in iOS 7 on your qualifying new or factory refurbished iOS device, you will be offered iMovie, iPhoto, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers for free in addition to other free software from Apple. When you tap Download All and sign in with your Apple ID, the apps will be downloaded to your device and added to your store account. If you tap Not Now when you see the offer, you can go back to each of the apps in the store and download them one at a time for free.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    When performing the new iPhone(IOS6) update I received an error message - iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.  You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.  Will I lose everything if it goes back to factory settings.  Right now my phone wont do anything.  It is just showing a cable, an arrow  and the iTunes logo.

    If you restore from backup.
    You should have made sure that everything was on your computer bef ore updating anyway.  Did you fail to do that?
    All pics taken with iphone should be imported to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any update/restore/etc.  Did you fail to do that?

  • The new iPhone software don't connect the all facebook friend with contact

    The new iPhone software don't connect the all facebook friend with contact

    When you go to Settings > WiFi, does it show that you are connected to your WiFi network? (If connected, a check mark will appear next to your network name.)
    Where does the "loading" statement appear?  How do you just get loading if you are connected to the Internet via cellular data network?
    Have you tried any other application that uses the Internet like Yelp or a bank app? What happens there?
    I wouldn't try the 5.01 update until you solve the connectivity problem! It's a very large update.
    You cannot compare yours to your sister's. Just deal with yours.
    Observations that may or may not help in your case:
    1) Sometimes WiFi doesn't work well even if connected if the cell signal is very weak or "o" (vs 3G) shows.
    2) Sometimes connection via cellular does not work if connected to WiFi but WiFi signal is very weak.

  • What is the best way to get the new iPhone/ iPhone 5

    What is the best way to get the new iPhone/ iPhone 5 when it is released. I want to get the phone as quick as possible. If i order it on The first day of pre orders will i get it on the same day as the release in stores? I'm on an unlimited data plan with AT&T. Because the new iPhone will most likely have 4 g data will I loose the unlimited plan?

  • When installing the new iTunes software, the message : "the older version of apple software update cannot be removed." What should I do? I tried deleting files related, but nothing works.

    When installing the new iTunes software, the message : "the older version of apple software update cannot be removed." What should I do? I tried deleting files related through control panel or the manual way, but it doesn't work. Am I missing something?

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does it go through properly this time?

  • Can i get the new iPhone?

    I have the original iPhone and the black part (antenna cover) broke off and it just generally seems to not be working well. Quite frankly i am sick of having to reset it. If i got the phone in September and agreed to a 2 year deal, can i terminate that deal and get the new iPhone? thanks.

    Yes, Monkey you can. The original iPhone was not subsidized, and it is well-advertised on the AT&T and Apple websites that original iPhone owners can upgrade to the 3G for the subsidized price of 199/299. Naturally, you'll have to pay the higher data feeds and resign a new 2 year contract.
    Hope this helps.

  • Ipad2 will freezes when downloading the new ios software update

    ipad2 will freezes when downloading the new ios software update.  When i hold the Base Button and Sleep button together it just does the same thing.  Tried to plug it in directly to my iMAC and it says it can't help me b/c I have a passcode lock.  Any solutions?

    We don't know, and no one will know until Apple has announced it. Furthermore, speculation is forbidden here.
