Problem with updating iphone 3gs (error -50)

Please help
When I try to update my iphone 3 gs an error pops up ( -50), what does that mean and how vcan I avoid it???

You can do a google and find out how to download the file from another source, then also find out how to manually update your phone.   It isn't hard, and maybe that will get you going.

  • Problem with updating iPhone 3gs

    Can someone help? I am trying to update my old iPhone 3gs 8gig. Still on iOS4, and need to update it to iOS6. Because it's still on iOS 4 i can only update via iTunes, however, as soon as i start the update download, it runs up until the last few megabytes and then it just quits, and the update has to be downloaded all over again only to get to 784 of the 786mb download and it quits again...i am using a wifi network, so it cant be the connection...
    Any suggestions?

    if itunes can no longer pickup your ipod, and you cant even do anything to your ipod, your best option is to either call apple care, or just take it to the nearest apple shop. i had a similar problem, mines currently at apple care repairs and they might just end up giving me a replacement.

  • Hi i have a problem with my iphone 3gs. i updated the software to ios 6 but now when trying to activate the phone it comes up with a message saying that the activation server is currently unavailable, also it always says no sim! what can i do?

    i have an activation problem with my iphone 3gs. i updated the software to io6 using itunes but now the phone will not complete activation because it keeps saydin the activation server is not available and to re try later. ive been trying for 6 hours but it still wont activate. if i try using itunes then it sayd no sim inserted when there is one inserted, what can i do?

    You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
    and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

    Symptoms
    In certain situations, iPhone may present one of the following symptoms:
    "Invalid SIM" or "No SIM Card installed" alert appears intermittently.
    Status bar displays "No Service", "No SIM" or "Searching" in a location with good network coverage.

    Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.

    Check for a carrier settings update. Tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, a prompt will appear.

  • HT4623 Problem with updating iPhone 4 software

    Why My iPhone 4 doesn't show update option ?

    Because updating from the iphone itself is a feature of ios 5 or hogher and you have iod 4.3.3
    You need to update as always.
    Open itunes
    Connect iphone

  • Big problem with my iPhone 3Gs. Can't activate iOS 5... I'm already using at

    HELP!

    are you able to see the apps on the home screen? If so, it's most likely an issue with your carrier
    This is also an issue that can appear on devices that have been modified in an unauthorized manner (not judging, just saying)

  • My updated iPhone 3GS from 4.2.1 to 6.0.1 is stuck in restore mode

    Hi,
    I've got a problem with my iPhone 3GS, which is stuck in restore mode.
    I've done theses steps :
    Update iTunes to the last version on my Windows7
    Connect my iphone and synchronize for the first time
    Manually backup my data with iTunes (more than 4000 pictures, messages, ...)
    Accept to download and update to iOS 6.0.2 from iTunes
    iTunes backup my data once again and starts the iOS update
    When my iPhone is updated, restore process starts and craches with an "Error -10" message.
    The iPhone is fully functional but completely empty. I check this page - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946 but can't find my backup.
    If I check this path \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ or use iTunes to find backups, the only are made by itunes with iOS 6. Old backupswith iOS 4.2.1 have disappeared.
    How can I retsore my iphone ?

  • "error 3194 and have tried all recommended steps, first problem with this iphone"

    Hi, for a few months now I've been using my brother's old iPhone 3GS as an iPod, and I haven't jailbreaken it or anything of the sort, and I've installed every update since, and today I installed the newest update and since it has been in recovery mode and whenever I connect it to iTunes and try to restore (I backed up a few days ago) I am greeted with an iTunes message saying "error 3194" and I've tried everything mentioned in the specific update article for it except for the one pertaining to a .ipsw because when I go to advanced settings I am unable to find anything of the sort. And it'd be much appreciated if any of you could help! Also, I am using a windows computer, not a mac, and have never had problems with this iPhone until this new update.

    It is usually given as a communication error between Apple, iTunes (your computer), iPhone. Somewhere they are not communicating, so the iOS you are trying to install cannot be approved by Apple. Trouble shooting steps include, making sure you have Current iTunes installed, make sure your Hosts file of computer is not blocking Apple. Try restoring on another computer.
