Trying to upgrade to iOS 4.1 - getting "err = 1403"

Hi!
I've tried FIVE times to download iOS 4.1 but without luck. iTunes downloads the whole file and then pops up with a red "!" "The software for iPhone was corrupted during download" - there's an (err = 1403) that appears in the download box too.
I have downloaded iTunes 10.0, rebooted all devices etc...
Any thoughts would be gratefully appreciated.
Ta,
Adam

Navigate to ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates and delete any & all .ipsw files you find. There should only be one, but delete all that are listed. You will most likely have to first turn on show all hidden files & folders to see them. Once done, try updating again. This will force itunes to re-download the .ipsw file.

I have been a big apple fan but I am now wondering if my ipad2 was a mistake.

  • HT4623 I am having problems activating my daughter's iphone. It says ' Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable". It went on like this for several days already. She was trying to upgrade her IOS. Help any

    I am having problems activating my daughter's iphone. It says " Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable". It went on like this for several days already. She was trying to upgrade her IOS to IOS6. Help anyone?

    yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
    and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
    trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
    no worries

  • I tried to upgrade the ios on the phone and I was asked for my icloud user and password. I don't remember these exactly and I tried several times with different options but unsuccessfully. I also forget my email used to configurate the phone.

    How i said on the question. I tried to upgrade the ios on the phone and I was asked for my icloud user and password. I don’t remember these exactly and I tried several times with different options but unsuccessfully. I also forget my email used to configurate the phone. I have the phone box and the bill. I sent you an email with my problem and attachments with the box informations, the bill and the reset request. What to do? You said to me:
    Your request comes from an unrecognized email domain. Apple accepts email requests only from email domains for Apple-authorized carriers.
    Please re-submit your request using your official carrier domain.
    but this email is authorized, what to do??

    OR have you recently purchased the iPhone secondhand ?

  • I am trying to upgrade to iOS 5. When I bring up General I cannot find the upgrade  upgrade that is required.

    I am trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. I go to General there is no where to upgrade

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, as you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

    An iPad 2 will be updated to iOS 6.1, that is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple for it.

  • I have the iPhone 4 and I have tried to upgrade to iOS 7 and it didn't work, can someone please help?

    I have the iphone 4 and I have tried to upgrade to iOS 7 and it says that the software upgrade is unavailable at this time. But it says that the Apple Inc. is downloaded. Can someone please tell me why this is so?

    Well, yes.  With millions and millions of users trying to download, the Apple servers are under stress.  Wait until tomorrow.

  • HT1430 I tried to upgrade to ios 4 by plugging my Ipad into Itunes on my desktop.  I got an error report and now my Ipad won't work at all.  I can only get a screen with a plug and an arrow pointing to the Itunes logo.

    You need to restore your iPad using recovery mode and the process is covered in this article.

  • IPhone 4S stuck in recovery mode while trying to upgrade to iOS 7.0.4

    I ran into the issues with my iPhone 4S while trying to upgrade it it iOS 7.0.4 OTA and I have tried everything I can to recover it but no luck. I have tried different USB ports, different PCs altogether with av tuned off, and finally a MAC Pro this morning. I am stuck and miserable. I did everything that a number of forums have mentioned in terms of switching off anti-virus, clearing off host files, checking windows and mac firewall settings, setting the phone to DFU mode and trying over - you name it.
    The error I run into most half way through the upgrade is "Unknown Error (29)". According to Apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694), it has to do with anti-virus but last night I spent 2 hours building an image with no av or firewall running and tried and still ran into the error. Even tried "Fix it" from Microsoft to clear off the host file configurations as prescribed.
    Any help is welcome. Much needed.

    Hi, sorry for my late reply.
    FIXED!!!! For me anyway, and I hope for you!
    So I tried to update to ios 7 and after downloading the software itunes tried to update my iPad 3. I recieved the error 3004 and was stuck in the "Connect to iTunes" screen and
    could not get out of it. Completely annoyed!
    But then I remembered something from when I used to fiddle with iphones. I opened a program I had called TinyUmbrella, which can be used to force boot out of recovery mode (the
    "connect to itunes" screen).
    My ipad was still connected to itunes and in recovery mode. I opened TinyUmbrella, selected my ipad (which was just shown by the serial number), then clicked "Exit Recovery" and
    BAM!!! It immediately kicked my out of the recovery screen and started my ipad back up to my home screen.
    Now, my ipad was still on 6.1.3 since the update to ios 7 had failed. But I didn't care, my ipad was fully functional again just like I left it before. Thank God for
    TinyUmbrella! Here's the CNET link for TinyUmbrella if you need it:
