Unable to update my iPhone 4 to 6.0.1.

I am unable to update my iPhone 4G to iOS 6.01.  Says download failed.

Correct, because you need iTunes 10.7, and your iMac is too old to support it.
If your iPhone has iOS 5, you can update it over-the-air by going to Settings > General > Software Update.
But my guess is you don't have iOS 5.
So you'll need a newer computer, or go to an Apple Store and they can help you.

    Are you currently on ios 4?  If so that's where the backup comes in.  You'll need to restore your backup once the software is updated.

    I keep trying to update my iphone and it keeps saying the file directory is corrupt.  What should I do?

    If your doing this on your phone you need to do it with the computer. Did you jailbreak your iPhone because it causes this, by the way I wouldn't reccomend jailbreaking.

  • Unable to update my iphone 6 to IOS 8.2.

    I have been trying to update my iPhone 6 to IOS 8.2 since I got it a few days ago because Touch ID kept giving me an error message. Upon attempting to update my phone remotely I'd get an error message that the update could not be installed. I tried plugging my phone into itunes to update and it seemed to be working until I recieved error 53 and the install had failed again. Now my phone is stuck in recovery mode because it can't finish its restoration either.

    Just managed to upgrade after the 5th attempt.
    Cheers

  • I have been unable to update my Iphone 4S software to V5.1 - same message - operation timed out - connection interruption.  From various PC's and Laptops!

    I have been struggeling for days to update my Iphone software to V5.1.  On my desktop PC with uninterrupted ADSL I received a message "error in connection" and operation tmed out"  I have used my laptop (with no previous Itunes programs) installed Itunes and connected my Iphone 4S.  I constantly receive the same message?

    if you have ios 5.0 on your device you can update it directly from the iphone.
    go to settings / softwareupdate.
    do a backup on your iphone first.

  • Unable to update my iPhone 3 GS with 4.01

    I have attempted to update my iPhone software multiple times but get error messages. I am trying again but iTunes lists 22 hours for the software download so I think I will get the error again. Any suggestions?

    HI Maggie,
    get error messages.
    Please make note of those errors in your reply here.
    iTunes lists 22 hours for the software download
    Select the Summary tab with your iPhone connected. Look at the bottom of the iTunes window. Make sure there is enough storage space available.
