Problems updating iPhone4 from OS4.0.1 to 4.1

Network Connection Timed Out. Speedtest shows my network to run at about 1.3Mbps - not the fastest around, but not slow. The update said it would take 65 minutes. It even told me when it got down to 65 seconds and then 'processing file' before finally giving the Network Connection Timed Out error. The file was fully transferred to my PC, but the update failed and I got to try again. This was a HUGE consumption of time. A lengthy post that I made last night was removed as it was considered feedback. So, I repost today with a question - how is a customer supposed to get software updates? Go to the Apple store? There are SO many others that seem to have the same problem as I read other posts.
iTunes is 10.0.1.22, Vista is Service Pack 2, iPhone4 was OS4.0.1 trying to go to 4.1.

this may or may not work... try disabling all firewall and antivirus software during the update... this has worked for other users...

  • Update iphone4 from ios 4.2.1 to ios 5.1

    I am trying to update a friends iphone4 from ios 4.2.1 to ios 5.1, my itunes version is 10.6 . I have backed up the files already with itunes. Will I lose any data on the phone if i update the ios? If the data gets lost how do I restore the data? Do I just sync it using the itunes and will it also put back all files and apps? It's the first time i will do an update with a 4 and the only familiar process to me is with a 4s which is much easier. Would appreciate any help and advice regarding the steps. Lastly how long does it usually take?

    Oh okay. Now I get it. Thank you for explaining it . Are there any other errors or mishaps that I should worry about or be cautious of before I proceed with the update? Im afraid of encountering any as my friend is leaving for a different country today and Im afraid of messing up her phone at the last minute. I really apprciate your help. Thanks

  • Are there any problems updating directly from OS X 10.6 to Mountain Lion 10.8? X

    Will I have any particular difficulty updating directly from OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to 10.8 Mountain Lion using a download from the App Store?
    iMac is current with the latest 10.6.8 version.
    Thank you for any comments or suggestions.

    You want to check compatibility of your apps and that your Mac can support ML.
    Also, although the specs say 2GB of RAM, IMO 4GB should be a minimum.
    The app Store DL is slow. Once you DL it, before installing it copy the installer from your Applications folder, so if you ever need to use it again you have it. The reason for this is that it self destructs after restart.

  • HT4623 how to update iphone4 from 5.1.1 to 7.0.4 i try itunes wrote that there was  a problem downloading software

    You cannot downgrade but as modular suggests you may want to restore the phone from your backup. If that still doesn't work then restore as a new phone.

  • Problem updating catalog, from non-working Elements 8, to vs. 13.

    I purchased and downloaded Photoshop Elements 13, Windows; upgrading from vs. 8. Can't update the Catalog file; got error message. Previous version of Elements will no longer open; that's why I bought new version.

    Update:  Spent a good part of a frustrating day on this - after Adobe refused assistance (via Chat); told me my only recourse was via forums. Fortunately, I seem to have solved the problem; in multiple steps, which were basically trial and error.  Version 8 did start working again - really not sure what worked! But I messed with several things.  Was able to make use of some of the tips I found in help menus, once that was solved, to convert my original catalog.  Then to use Vs. 13, I figured out that you have to select something besides the default "ELive" (on the top bar), to have access to the Manage Catalogs menu, etc.  This isn't mentioned anywhere, but it was a stumbling block for me.

  • Problem updating iphone4

    Updated my iphone4 yesterday via itunes and now non of the apps downloaded and paid for on the app store will work!!!! Why is this a problem for Apple? Every other non Apple device upgrades software/firmware without causing this problem. What the **** do I do now???

    Try downloading any free app directly to your phone.

  • IOS Iphone Syncing problem - UPDATE direct from Skype Support

    I've been having problem getting messages on my iphone for a week now. No group messages, no notifications, and I cannot receive groups calls or messages. I have the latest version of iOS and reinstalled and reset my phone severals times. I contacted Skype support and found out they are doing a SILENT update, and that we can experience problems on this for the next several weeks, and there is NOTHING YOU CAN DO. I requested they post an update to keep users informed so they don't spend a bunch of time debgging, but guess what, they won't. So hpefully see this post before you spend 3 hours trying to figure out the problem. Please give a kudos if this helps, so that others will see too. REPLY if you're having the same problem. Thanks!!

    i'm having problems since 2015-07-31 on my iphone4 (7.1.2) - it syncs msgs only if the other party is online at the same time. all offline msgs are ignored without error or something.
    but strange as it is it still works without issues on my iphone6 (8.4)... both devices run skype 5.14.0.46

  • Problems updating movie from Dir8 to MX2004

    I should be grateful for help in updating a large movie
    containing MIAWs from Dir 8 (Windows) to Dir MX2004 (10.1,
    Windows):
    (1) In Dir 8 the following verbose Lingo produces a MIAW with
    no title bar (which is what I want):
    set the filename of window "Control" = "Control.dir"
    set the windowtype of window "Control" = 2
    However in MX "windowtype" is obsolete but I am unable to get
    results from what I hoped would be the equivalent line:
    window("Control").titlebarOptions.visible=FALSE
    Is there some step that I am missing?
    (2) My Director movie contains many Quicktime movies, which
    have controller bars. In Dir 8 they work well, but in MX2004 when I
    click on the start/stop icon at the left of the controller bar the
    whole screen is given over to the Quicktime and the MIAW (which
    carries all my navigation buttons) disappears. How can I get around
    this?
    Help will be much appreciated!
    Scourse

    1) I seem to recall that you had to set the properties of the
    Window BEFORE you open() it. Otherwise, the window gets set to a
    default property state. You may also want to look into
    DisplayTemplates. Here are some links.

    http://livedocs.adobe.com/director/mx2004/release_update_en/09_pr191.htm
    2) Use BuddyAPI to get the window handle and then set it to
    front. I too wish there were a way to handle this out of the
    box.

  • Problem updating PowerBook from 10.3 to 10.4

    When I try to boot from the 10.4 install disc, the system gets hung up and never starts. I get a string messages about debugging and kernel version and finally a "panic: we are hung up..." message - all of which I don't understand.
    I've got a PowerBook G4 667Mhz with 768MB RAM.
    Thanks!

    Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A (10.4.6), MA190Z/A (10.4.3) and M9639Z/A (10.4) . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray). Expect to pay (possibly a lot) more than the Apple list price of $129.
    Also check this web store http://www.lacomputercompany.com/cgi-bin/rpcart/index.cgi?command=dispitem&type= sku&sku=19521
    Possible Alternative if you are currently using Panther 10.3 – Do a Google search for Tiger 10.4 Upgrade DVD . It will upgrade your 10.3 to 10.4, but it doesn’t contain the full retail Tiger installer. Should be cheaper than the retail Tiger install DVD.
    After you install the base 10.4.x, update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
    Look at this link Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger Installing Software Support Page
    http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/install/
    You can also download the Tiger Installation and Setup Guide
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/TigerInstall_SetupGuide.pdf
    When you upgrade the OS, do it via Archive & Install. See About the Archive and Install feature http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
    Be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings. Also, repair permissions before and after the install.

  • My computer restarted while I was updating my software from OS4 to OS5 and  now my ipod is froze in a way that it shows the symbol that I should connect it to itunes. I connected it but itune is not recognising it. I have tried to reset but it nothing.

    My computer restarted while I was updating software from OS4.1 to OS 5. Now my Ipod touch is just frozen. All it shows is the usb connection to itune symbol. Itune does not recognise. I have done the reset but nothing happens after the apple symbol shows up and back to usb and itune symbol. Help please.

    See if placing the Ipod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so yu can restore the iPOd.. For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    Next try DFU Mode.

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.
