Trying to update to iOs 5.1.1 error that c drive is full on computer help
Why do I need all of this disc space to update my iPad and should I just wait until I buy a Mac? My PC is on its last legs but we still are using it. I would like to update my operating system, but don't know if I should bother with the PC... Also, can they help me at the store to do the upgrade if I am there buying a new computer?

If your boot drive is full, it is simply a matter of time before it crashes and you lose everything.
You should...
Keep at least 10%-15% free space on yrou boot drive. This keeps room for the OS to do stuff.
Immediately back up all important data.
Delete unused applications and files.
Run disk cleanup and defrag.
Doing this now will keep your computer going and ensure a smoother move to your Mac when you get it.

" The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. I tried to uninstall iTunes, and it would not uninstall. It gave me the following message " The path C:\documents and settings\network service\local settings\application data\apple\apple software update\iTunes.msi cannot be found.
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -

When I try and sync my iPhone or update the iOS using iTunes, I get the message iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the iPhone disconnected
Clean the connector on the bottom of the phone with a soft dry toothbrush, and inspect it with a magnifying glass to make sure it is clean and has no bent pins.
If this does not fix it disable the firewall and antivirus on your phone. And if that doesn't fix it you most likely have a hardware problem.
To ask Apple call them or visit an Apple store. -
Iphone went off after trying to update to iOS 8.1.3
My iphone went off while trying to update to iOS 8.1.3
Hey cliffordmien,
That is not good so lets see if we can get it back up for you. Try restarting your iPhone and try the update again. If you still have issues then you may need to update your iPhone through iTunes. If you restart your iPhone and it is booting up to the plug in to iTunes graphic you will need to restore it with iTunes.

I'm trying to update my iOS to 6.0, using iTunes (with my 4s connected via USB and WiFi is on also).

There is not error message number just the text message. I've searched for an answer but have found nothing on "transfering items purchased to your iTunes library".

I have an iPod 4s and I am trying to update to IOS 6.1.6. I keep trying to download but it will not allow me to click download and install. I have checked my storage and I have more than enough storage space available. Do you guys have any suggestions?
The only available, signed, iOS, for your iPod, is iOS 7.1. That's why you can't install iOS 6.1.6.

Error while trying to update to ios 5
I keep getting an error while trying to update to iOS 5. I update iTunes this morning to the lastest version so I know that isn't the problem. I have tried restarting both my computer and my phone, but contine getting "The iPhone could not be restore. An unknow error occurred (3194)." PLease help! Thanks in advance
I am also getting the error 43 when the update tries to back the phone up. Im using the latest version of itunes. This is on an iphone4, I am in the UK.
I tried deleting all of the historical backups to see if a fresh backup folder helps. It did not.
Ive tried running iTunes in 'administrator' mode on my Windows 7 machine. This made no difference.
Ive tried putting the phone in airplane mode. No difference.
I tried getting it into restore mode just to see if it worked on a iphone4. However it did not seem to want to do it.
Im not not too sure about proceeding with this update as I done want to loose any of the apps I have. (or 3 my 3 stars in every angry birds level on all 3 versions of the game!!)
Please someone, HELP !! !! -
I have a 3gs, and I haven't updated it for a long time because I always have issues when I do. I tried to update the ios today, and it decided to update it to 6.1.3 instead of 7, I didn't think there would be a problem, so I clicked ok. When I came to check on my phone, itunes said there was an error with the update, and my phone was in recovery mode (plug-in sign on the screen). I looked up multiple things to try, I tried putting it in DFU mode, still itunes doesn't see it. The computer also doesn't list it under devices, however when it is plugged in the Apple Mobile Support USB Driver shows up in device manager. I have tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling, still nothing. I just want to know if there is anything else I can try. Thanks.
No, it is my phone that I've had since 2009. I just hate updating it because every time I do something goes wrong. So I put it off as long as possible. I am getting a new iphone, but I read that to have your backup transfer to the new phone, it must be a backup from the current ios.

Error 1603 after trying to update to ios 5 now phone is bricked stuck in recovery mode
Try this - download a program called rec boot. follow the instructions to kick it out of recovery mode. and does itunes recognise
or hold the power and home button together until you see a "connect to itunes" pic on the screen
hope it helps -
hie there Actually um trying to update new iOS 7 for my iphone 4 but when i press the button to install new software suddenly it appears why " iOs 7 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the internet " even my phone is already connected to net
I 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.
