Trying to update new iPhone 5S from backup. Apps fail to move
iPhone 4 ( Updated OS and did a backup before and after OS update)
Got my new iPhone 5S.
Did a normal startup with new phone and selected to restore from backup that was done above. (iTunes)
Did this with the option of creating new phone and option of just doing the restore.
Tried erasing new phone again and did another backup of old phone.
Did another startup on new phone.
Did another restore.
Same results. Can't get apps to move over. No apps moved at all.
PICS/Contacts/Phone calls/Txt messages. All those moved.
No apps whatsoever. I'm sure I'm just not selecting something.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Terry
I figured it out.
I didn't have Apps in iTunes at all.
I needed to move apps from phone to iTunes which I finally figured out.
Once I did that I was able to sync the apps to new phone.
instructions on doing this via this chat need to be clearer.
I'm not an Apple super user and I didn't know I needed to move the apps. I thought hitting sync would work. That only works to move apps from iTunes to device. At least that's the way it seems.

Backed-up iPhone onto computer, got new iphone, restored from backup, apps and music are gone!?
I have read that this is a common question, but I just don't understand and need it explained to me in a simple manner.. I'm not very "tech savvy". Why would music and apps NOT be included in a back up?? Where are they now? Apple replaced my iPhone so I don't even have to old one for reference. I can re-download my apps at no extra cost, but it seems like in order to re-download my music, I would have to pay for it again! What to do???
Apps and music do not need to be saved in the backup, they are already in iTunes. iTunes contains your music library and your apps. Apps can be transferred to the iTunes library as necessary, but music should be housed there. If it is all music that you downloaded from iTunes, then you can put it there the same was as you do apps, but transferring purchases.

In trying to update my iPhone 3Gs from v. 3.13, it apparently downloaded the upgrade, but got stuck during the backup. It backed up for over an hour, and now the green bar in the Backup window is now colorless and is showing no movement. Any suggestions?

Trying to update my iphone 3G from iOS 4.2.1 to 4.3.5, help?
I tried to update my iPhone 3G from iOS 4.2.1 to 4.3.5, but iTunes says that 4.2.1 is the current version even though it's not. why is it not letting me update the software?
oh ok. thank you! hopefully the iPhone 5 comes out soon so I can get a new phone and finally be able to use the new apps I need...thanks again!

I'm trying to update my iphone 3gs from version 4.2 but under settings-general there is no update link. This is probably a frequently asked question, so I'm sorry but I'm new to this.
That is only a feature of iOS 5 or later...
You have iOS 4... See Here...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
OR...
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

I'm trying to update my iPhone 4 from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.1. When I try to do this using iTunes on my MacBook Pro (OS X v 10.5.8), with my iPhone in its cradle, clicking the "Update" button in Tunes gets a message saying "This version of iTunes (10.6.1) is the current version." I can't get the iOS update to download.
When I try to update to the iPhone directly, I get a message saying "iOS 6.0.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the Internet" at the Verifying Update step. I noticed that this message refers to iOS 6.0.1, even though I want to update to 6.1. It is possible that, a few weeks ago, I may have downloaded but not installed v 6.0.1.
Thanks for any help with this problemI tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
Thanks very much for your feedback. -

I tried to update my iphone 3gs from ios 5 to 6 but because of software crash and while restoring with ios 6 it is not activated. Now I degrade it in ios 4 and can not use any app. How can I update this iphone?
Downgrading the iOS is not supported, and likely has caused the problems you are experiencing.
You'll need to go elsewhere for support. -

There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone "Judy's iPhone 4". The network connection was reset.
Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.
I am trying to update the iPhone for my grandmother, Judy, as I am leaving for Paris on Wednesday night and we want to have Facetime installed on her iPhone before then, so we can stay in contact with each other. It is the simplest way for this to happen but the program simply will not allow me to update her iPhone.
Is there any way to get past this error and update her iPhone? Any help will be greatly appreciated.Dear Jody..jone5
Good for you that can't update your iphone because I did it and my iphone dosen't work for example I can't download any app like Wecaht or Twitter..

I am unable to update my iphone software 4.2.5 to the latest version through my Mac. I get into a continuous loop of clicking on update and getting the message to restart the computer. But nothing updates.
I imagine you are talking about iPhone 4 CDMA (Verizon, Sprint). iTunes will only allow Update or Restore to iOS 6.0.1 You need to update iTunes on your computer to current version 10.7, with computer click the iTunes Tab at the top of this page and install current iTunes 10.7 If this iTunes will not install you may need to update your computer System, or try a different computer.

HT4623 Trying to update my iPhone 4s from ios 6.1.3 to ios 6.1.4
Hello.... I had to turn my phone off last night... when I turned it on again it wouldn't make sounds unless I had the earbuds plugged in... I have read the other issues that people have had and then found that there was a new update to 6.1.4.... I can't download it from iTunes and when I try and find it on the Apple site and have my phone plugged in with the USB cable it won't show the newest update.... What is the way to correct this problem?? Thanks.
Good grief.... I simply turned the phone off!!!!!
I will try this restore and see if it works as I have checked the headphone jack for debris and couldn't see anything and have done what I could to clean it out should there be anything in there...
Appreciate your help Ocean 20.
