UNABLE TO UPDATE LATEST IOS 4.2

Whilst trying to upgrade to ios 4.2 in itunes (latest version) I keep getting the following message *"There was a problem downloading the software for the ipad. The network connection timed out.* *Make sure your network connections are correct and your network connection is active, or try again late"*
I have tried 10 times to download the upate with the same response, I even went into an Apple store and was told to try it at different times of the day and night, I have tried this still no joy, anyone have any ideas please

Are you wired or wireless? If wireless, try wired. The severs are probably really busy, try at a different time, like early morning. Or noon.
Be patient. It will work, and it will take longer than you think it should. I started the upgrade on my wife's iPad yesterday, went to dinner with some friends, when we got back it was done. Untouched by human hands.

  • Unable to update latest iOS 8

    I Tried to update the latest iOS 8 but it keeps telling me I need 7 bb of memory I have delete loads of apps ext but still unable to update

    How much free space is shown in Settings > General > About > Available ? A lot of apps don't take up much space, what usually uses up storage are media (films, tv programmes, music).
    You could connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy your iTunes downloads over to your computer, and you could then delete films, TV programmes and/or music from your iPad so as to free up space. Or doing the update via your computer's iTunes, instead of via Settings > General > Software Update, should require less free space.
    But whether you update directly on your iPad or via your computer's iTunes, do the Transfer Purchases so that you have a copy of your iTunes downloads, take a backup, and preferably take your own copy of any important documents, files, photos (they should be included in the backup, but it's always good to have your own copy).

  • Unable to update my  iOS on my iPad and iPhone.

    I am unable to update my iOS on my iPad and iPhone. Though I have had these devices and have been updating for over a year, the issue just started with this new release (iOS 5.1).
    When I connect my Pad and Phone to iTunes (Windows PC with Vista), I am told that an update is available. When I update, iTunes tries to connect to a server. Then I receive the message, "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad. The network connection could nopt be established."
    When I try to update the devices iOS using WiFi directly (not connected to iTunes). The devices say, "Checking for Update..." and does not connect. It says, "Unable to check for update...An error occurred while checking for a software update...Cancel or Try Again"

    I solved this by downlading the iOS update via wi-fi at another location other than my home. I would still like to know why this download did not work at my home as it has for over a year. I have made no changes in my firewall or security settings.

    What happens when you connect to computer and update via iTunes?
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    You need itunes 10 or later and that requires OSX 10.5.8 or later
    You have a 2G (vi the SN yo provided) and that can go as high as 4.2.1

    I have iPhone 4 with updated latest iOS And i am using FIND IPHONE application.

Plese give me the Proper suggetion about this issue..!!

    If your router is not identified in a national database (don't recall who maintains it or where it is) then there is no location associated with it.  Hence your device cannot be located.  I suggest you try your test at some public wifi spot, like a bookstore or coffee shop.  These places usually have a location associated with their wifi router.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
