Tried to update to 4.0, but iTunes won't let me.

Every time I attempt to upgrade my iPhone 3G to version 4.0, I get the following message after clicking the "Update" button:
"This version of iTunes (9.1.1) is the current version."
I can't get past this message, even after restarting several times.

It recognizes that newer software is available.
But the first reply by -JondorZ- is correct. I had to manually download iTunes 9.2 from the Apple web site and install it first. Now it is allowing me to update.
Thanks, -JondorZ-!

I saw a thread saying to purchase the newest software (that was posted a few years ago) I paid 4.95 for the software and it's still saying it can't be updated. Am I just SOL??

The 1G iPod can only go as high as 3.1.3. The 1G does not have an internal speaker or volume buttons on the upper left edge.

Hello levon10
Just delete the song and then go through the process of downloading the purchase again.

If you are using the computer that you normally backup and sync with, it shouldn't be asking for a passcode. If you are not, then you would need to enter it, and I understand that you cannot. There is no way around this requirement, so your only alternative is to use the last backup that you made of the device. Hopefully it wasn't that long ago.

What country are you in ? e.g. in the US you might have sales tax to add to the listed price.

I am trying to change my country but iTunes won't let me

iTunes won't let me buy from my original country as the credit card is invalid in that country. When I try to change the country it keeps reverting back to the original country. How do I change the country without opening a new iTunes account?

To buy items from an iTunes Store in another country you must have a valid credit card drawn on a local bank, and an address in the host country.

RV180W Option 66 - trying to put in a URL but it won't let me put in the full string

I'm trying to put in a URL like abc.def.com/ghi/jkl but it won't let me enter the forward slashes. Is there any way to make it accept the forward slashes or get around this? Thank you.

The TFTP server is managed by a different company and there are thousands of devices that pull configs from that location. Changing the TFTP server isn't really an option.

HT203200 I have pre-ordered 2 albums, but iTunes won't let me download them. How do I download them?

I have recently pre-ordered 2 albums with 3 gift cards i recieved for christmas. iTunes is not letting me download my 2 albums. I would like to have them in my library since they are already out and purchased.

I tried cancelling the pre-order, and now iTunes thinks I've purchased the entire album, but only one song is available to download. What the heck is going on?!

Need to restore iPod, but iTunes won't let me...

Apparently, I disconnected my iPod the wrong way (I will admit to that) and now I need to restore it. That is fine and dandy, I don't mind. But whenever I go into iTunes to perform the restore, it's giving me a funny message and it won't let me do it. It says something like not having the proper update or proper software, but the silly thing is, I don't have the option to update it and I shouldn't have to anyway, because I just got the dang thing a week ago! This is very upsetting, and I hope someone here can help. It is a 30 GB 5th gen.

I know the difference between restoring and updating, it's just that when I go to restore it, I get two buttons. One says restore, and the other, which is faded out anyway, says update. But when I click restore, I get a message saying that it can't restore. I am actually having problems getting my computer to even recognize the iPod right now, so I can't tell you what the message said specifically. Only that it said that I could not restore the iPod because I didn't have the right kind of update or software to do so. I'll keep working on it and see if anything changes, but right now, not much progress is being made.

Locked out of my iPhone 4 but iTunes won't let me restore it. Help!

I'm locked out of my iPhone 4 but when I try to connect it to iTunes to unlock and restore it, iTunes is requiring me to enter my passcode on my phone, which the phone won't let me do because I'm locked out. Help please!?

You need to restore using the computer you previouisly synced with, otherwise you'll be asked for the passcode.
You didn't forget your passcode (that you use every day) AND lose the computer you sync with on the same day, right? In that case, get the passcode from the phone's actual owner, or use recovery mode.

I'm trying to turn voice over off but it won't let me put my passcode in. The bubble isn't turning white when i pit my passcode in. HELP

I'm trying to turn voice over off but its nt letting me put my passcode in and the bubble isnt turning white when i put passcode in. When i put my passcode in i can hear voice over saying my passcode. HELP??

To enter numbers in the passcode, tap each number to selct it, then double-tap the number to enter it.

Hi I've purchased music but itunes won't let me transfer it to my iphone. This has happened since the last update and is happening to my brothers iphone also on his laptop. any suggestions?

HI there,
my laptop recenty went kaput and needed a new hardrive which was installed. When I got it back I downloaded itunes again and then bought some music. I connected my iphone and it would not allow me to transfer the music over to the iphone at all. It allowed me to pull all the music on my phone over to the itunes list which I realised at that point did have my usual music list on it. I can't seem to transfer any music purchased over to my iphone for love or money. This is happening to my brother on his itunes account also and he said it's happened since the last update on his. Any suggestions - I'm quite desperate as this is driving me nuts.
Many thanks,
Sarah

Plug in phone to computer.
in iTunes click on your device and then Music Tab.
Deselect the playlist in question, and click sync
Try your sync again
