The backup works, but it's not updating afterwards?

I am trying to update my iphone 4 and am about to throw it out of the window... In itunes, it tells me that in order to update from ios 4.2.9. to ios 7.0.3. I need to back up my phone first and then update. It takes the hour or whatever to back up, and then tells me it's all done and I'm safe to disconnect my phone from my PC. But it NEVER starts the actual update! What is going on? Is there something I am missing or is this Apple's way of getting me to turn this phone in for the new 5S or whatever? ..Seriously thinking of trashing this thing and going out tomorrow for the Samsung Galaxy, LOL. Please help!

Are you trying to update over the air or through iTunes?

  • I cannot update to New version of iPhoto.  Still have older version despite uninstalling application and redownloading it?  any suggestions.  My current version is the 2012 version, but it is not updating to the new version

    I updated to OS X Mavericks.  I updated all of the new iLife applications.  iPhoto is not updating to new version.  I have iPhoto '11. 
    The icon on the dashboard has the new logo, however when I open the application it hasn't updated.  I tried deleting the application and redownloading it.  Still stuck with old version

    I have exactly the same problem as carson.
    iPhoto tells me that I have Version 9.5, and the info-page tells me "iPhoto 11, Version 9.5 (902.7)", and the logo is the new one.
    However, the programme is exactly the same as the old version - not just similar, exactly the same! The screenshots on the apple-website show a dark grey, almost black interface, for example (like the new iMovie). However, my version still shows the old light grey.
    I deleted the iphoto-app entirely (and was horrified to lose all my photos), but that also didn't work out.

  • New motherboard - backups working but Star Wars not working

    A while ago I had to replace the motherboard on my G5. As I still have Leopard, I followed a set of instructions to make sure that the new MAC address was used by Time Machine and that I continued to use the same backup set as if nothing had happened. I think I used dethbunny's instructions here: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20080128003716101.
    It all seemed to work fine. I checked in Finder and the new backups were being added correctly and old ones were being deleted. I left it at that, but should have done some further checking.
    I recently discovered (when having to recover a backup for one of my kids) that whilst all the backups are on the Time Machine disk, the Star Wars user interface cannot see them. I can access them through the Finder or Terminal but not directly through Star Wars. All Star Wars shows is the current position of the data disks.
    Does anyone know how to get Star Wars to see the backups. It's probably some simple permissions step I've missed.
    Pondini?
    Thanks

    Sounds like the workaround didn't work (I tried it twice a few years ago, and couldn't get it to work), and the old backups are treated as if they were from a different Mac.
    Try the Browse... option, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #17.
    If that doesn't help, it's possible the backups are treated as being on the same Mac, but a different drive.  Try the procedure in #E3 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

  • After upgrading to 10.2.2.12  on windows XP SP3 , itunes does not display any summary info or buttons/options. The buttons work but it does not display the text on the button or the options available.

    I recently upgraded the iTunes software to 10.2.2.12 on my Windows XP laptop. Since then, iTunes stopped displaying the Summary info
    , the text on the buttons, the various drop down options. The buttons seem to be working but I can't tell what that button is supposed to do
    or the option I am selecting. This is preventing me from syncing my photos to the laptop.
    this was not a problem with the previous version of iTunes.
    Actions taken :
    - I tried downloading iTunes again and repairing the install. That did not fix it.
    - Don't want to uninstall it as I am worried that I would lose all the songs and the purchases etc.
    1. Has anyone encountered this ?
    2. Is there a solution for this ?
    Many thanks in advance for your time and help

    b noir, my Windows 7 machine is having the exact same issue as nsadal, and I have already confirmed that all six of the Segoe UI fonts are installed on my computer.  Are any other Windows users having this problem with the 10.2.2.12 iTunes release?
    Yeah it does, although the problem predates version 10.2.2.12. It's been around since earlier-on in the version 10s (at least).
    It's usually Segoe UI font trouble on the Windows 7 systems too. Unfortunately, the Vortical troubleshooting technique only works on XP and Vista systems, so dealing with the issue on a Windows 7 system is trickier. (There's a bunch of different possible issues relating to the fonts that could be in play, and so the treatment tends to depend on which issue in particular you've got with the Segoe_UI fonts.)
    For discussions of various Windows 7 variations of the "Missing text" thing, and possible treatments, see the following (unfortunately, rather long) topic:

  • Need Safari  for iTunes Store to work, but Safari will not update properly.

    I recently did all my software updates (as updated as i could be on a Powerbook G4), and as I'm trying to access the iTunes store, I can't. I get the message that the latest Safari update needs to be completed. So I go through the update process again for Safari, and I get the message that I don't have the appropriate access to complete the update package. So, I can't update Safari, therefore I can't get into the iTunes store. Does anyone have a solution??

    this is the Actual message that i get.
    the update "Safari" cannot be saved.
    You do not have appropriate access privileges.
    The Installer package has been moved to the Trash. To try again, open the package from the Finder.

  • Batch Split in OBD & billed for the entire Quantity .RG1  register does not update the excise values

    Hi All,
    I am new here . We have batch split in Delivery and 601 happens for the individual batches and billing we bill for the entire quantity . Hence the RG1 does not update the excise values for the batches and it is showing as zero (upon extraction in J2I6). Upon research through the program the latest note which i presume is patched
    The latest note is N158234 which does not show in the program but seems have been patched considering we are using the Latest version of SAP .
    As you see above in the billing we have billed for the whole quantity but RG1 does not update for the since the batches are zero .
    My programmer says because of some note related to cancellation where it says about values H & J in vbfa table and due to which program does not go through the Note for the batch split .
    Now i have checked few other projects in my company and they all seems to be following the program . So i am wondering whether my process or some customization is missing .
    Sales order (no batch determination)  , in delivery the batches are picked through wm to and batch split happens in the delivery . Then billling for the whole quantity . We have automatic excise invoice creation enabled so no J1IIN .
    Can somebody help me .
    Thank you

    My programmer says because of some note related to cancellation where it says about values H & J in vbfa table and due to which program does not go through the Note for the batch split
    Which field (H & J) they were referring in VBFA ?
    i have checked few other projects in my company and they all seems to be following the program
    How about the other projects' values in VBFA where your techinical team is guessing some issue.  Have you compared this?
    Since you have already the note 158234 implemented in your system, ideally, you should not face any issue.

    I have tried to update my iPhone using the iTunes method but it will not work. The message "The iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection or try again later," appears. What do I do? The Internet is working fine.

    Have you tried the following troubleshooting document?
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    If you end up using the If the iTunes Store opens successfully section of the document, and the "Automatically detect settings" checkbox is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it and clicking OK.

  • I am now using v3.68 and tried updating to v7.01 but it does not seem to work. Went to control panel to remove all the old versions but Firefox was not listed there although Thunderbird is there. Please advise asap, thanks

    I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong during the uninstall/reinstall process. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    In the Control Panel, Add/Remove programs, look for '''Mozilla Firefox'''. Make sure to save (do not delete) your personal settings when uninstalling.
    If it isn't there, just try installing 3.6.23, which is the latest in the 3.6 family. You can download 3.6.23 here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    With respect to version 7.0.1, are you saying that the installation failed, or it seemed to work but it's nowhere to be found?

    Well, everything that you have bought with her Apple ID prior to getting your own Apple ID is forever hers. Apple will not transfer content from one ID to another. But in the case of the Mac, contact iTunes Customer Service and request that they send your issue to the Account Security Team and ask that the Mac be released form your mother's account so you may register it with your account. Then you can accept the iLife apps into your account for any future updates.

  • What should I do if the iphoto keeps on saying that "Plz wait for import to complete" when i click the close button but it is not importing photos? How can I close the iPhoto? I try to switch my mac off but it doesn't work. Thanks.

    You should be able to select Force Quit from the menu beneath the Apple icon in Finder
    and choose to Quit iPhoto from there, without messing up the Mac OS X in the process.

    Not sure if rebuilding the iPhoto library would help this issue. However if you had to
    turn off the computer without the correct method (unplug, etc; instead of menu choice)
    the system may have accrued damages and should be checked, maybe repaired by
    use of the Disk Utility in the system. Or restart the computer in Safe Boot mode, then
    run 'repair disk permissions' while it is running in that reduced mode; then restart after.

    Anyone having issues syncing iPhone 3GS with Microsoft Outlook 2007?  iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts.  It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

    I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only person struggling with exact issue.  I've rebooted, upgraded, re-installed, pulled all my hair out as nothing works.
    The biggest dissapointment with this thread is that nobody seems to have responded with a solution.
    And yes I've managed to pull together enough intellegence to tick the box "sync to outlook" in iTunes - still nothing man.
    Definately does not sync from phone to PC and is very hit and miss on PC to Phone.  In other words now running 2 seperate calendars - Not helpful Jan.
