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

  • Unable to update my iphone 4s ios to 5.0.1

    dear friends
    im experiencing updating problem rite now. i just bought a 4s for my wife yesterday. when i tried updating the ios to 5.0.1 directly from the phone, it showed - 'Unable to Check for Update. An error occured while checking for a software update. and when i tried updating it via itunes, i got this msg - The iPhone "xxx iphone" could not be updated because the firmware file is not compatible.
    my internet connection is perfectly ok here. can anybody help me on this?
    Thank you

    I was finally able to update from iOS 5.0 (9A334) to iOS 5.0.1 (9A406) on my new iPhone 4S.
    (Note: I did not try "Reset" in the Settings>General app on iphone as I only noticed it later. Someone may want to try it)
    Problem:
    Firmware file incompatibility error whenever I tried to update through iTunes. Same issue when trying to do a restore through iTunes, as it attempted to first do an iOS update and failed with the same firmware file incompatibility error. A straight restore from back-up  (right clicking the user device in iTunes) did not fix the problem. On the iphone itself, there was an update badge on Settings, but it said my system was already up-to-date when I tried to update over-the-air, even though the version was still 5.0 (9A334).
    Solution (that worked for me at least):
    Using iTunes 10.5.2.11 on a PC running 64 bit Windows 7
    First did a full back up of  iphone using iTunes
    Put iphone into Recovery Mode ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 ). Erases all user data and settings!
    Disconnected USB cable from iphone
    Powered off iphone by holding down Sleep/Off button until slider appeared, slid to off, waited until screen dark
    Pressed and kept holding Home button while plugging cable back into phone
    I still saw the graphic on the iphone that said to plug into iTunes, so I unplugged and re-plugged cable. (I may have released the Home button too soon)
    Recovery Mode alert came up in iTunes.
    Followed all iTunes prompts to restore phone - it downloaded and sucessfully installed iOS 5.0.1
    iphone did not appear in iTunes due to missing pairing file (that made me nervous)
    iphone was now at factory settings. I followed prompts on iphone screen to start reactivation process
    Eventually the iphone asked if I wanted to restore from a back-up (whew!)
    A window opened in iTunes and I was able to select my previous back-up file for the restore
    A full restore from back-up then occured
    I also allowed a carrier settings update to occur when prompted (not sure that happens in all cases)
    When the restore was done I had to re-enter some passwords, but everything was there
    iOS is now 5.0.1 (9A406). The whole process took about an hour.
    I admit it was risky, but I was prepared to head back to the dealer in the morning if the phone didn't reactivate.
    I hope this works for you. Good luck!

    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.

  • 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.

  • I updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.5 and I lost my messages and camera app and other apps i downloaded from app store. I was having the problem of losing apps since before I updated to the latest IOS. What should i do?

    I updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.5 and I lost my messages and camera app and other apps i downloaded from app store. I was having the problem of losing apps since before I updated to the latest IOS. I have tried enable and disable restriction, connecting my phone to my laptop and sync from my computer and none of them is working. What should i do?

    Often when this type of thing occurs with missing default apps it is due to a situation where you are unable to 'see' the apps. If you will go to your front display of your device go to settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen layout.
    This reset allows for your apps that have for whatever reason been hidden in such an area as you arn't able to find them now to be returned to the area as which they were when you first had the device.
    As far as the missing Apps that were purchased through the Apps Store if you will go to settings>itunes and Apps store and click where it reads about automatcally downloading apps clicking on the toggle switch AND clicking on the toggle switch which allows for cellular data to be enabled this then will effectively automatically download all apps to your device that was purchased from the App Store.
    Good luck friend.

    If it's in recovery mode, the data is already gone. Why did you never back up your important data?

    I am unable to backup my iphone 5 iOS 6.0.1 (connected directly to laptop USB) with my itunes 11 for Win 7 64bits. The process starts and fails to complete giving the error: itunes could not complete backup of iphone because iphone disconnected.
    I have restarted the PC, the iphone, changed the lightining cable and nothign resolves it: backup never completes.

    Hi, I disabled the antivirus and the firewall. Same result
    I even deleted the backup folder inside C:\Users\...\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to eliminate any corruption in the old backup files.
    Nothing changed: Session either times out or i get the same error message: itunes could not back up iphone because iphone disconnected. It always happens during step 3 out of 4 which is "transfering purchased apps from iphone to PC" and comes after step 2 which is backup.
    My iphone 5 is not jailbroken, and is a factory unlocked phone.
    Any other suggestion?
    Pls help
