Unable to update to OS 4.1 from OS 3.1.3.

Hi,
I have wasted my whole day trying to update my Iphone 3G to OS 4.1.
When iTunes displays backing up it goes on and on, waited for 3 hours but its still the same the green bar does not proceeds. Please help im frustated with it now. I have 8 gb and had deleted all my Photos & Music before updating. have 6 gb free space.
Thanks in advance.

In iTunes go to Edit/Preferences. Click on the Devices tab. Is there a backup listed in the box near the top of the tab? If there is click on it and click the Delete button. If there are NO backups or you successfully deleted a backup connect the phone, right click on it in the left panel and choose Backup. Wait for it to finish. It can take a very long time if you have never done a backup (12 hours is not impossible).
If you get an error post the error message so we can diagnose it.

    When you select update, verify that it is showing your correct Apple ID, perhaps you have an app that was downloaded with a different ID, all apps are always associated with the ID that first downloaded them.

  • Unable to Update - Disk cannot be read from or written too

    Every time i got to update the music library onto the IPOD it says "The ipod cannot be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to." I have the newest version of itunes installed and i believe the ipod is up to date. The ipod is recognized in itunes and as a removable drive in my computer. I read somewhere that said reinstalling the drivers for the ipod might help fix it but as i recieved it used, I don't have the disk that comes with the ipod... any suggestions?

    it's probably worth checking through the possibilities from this document:
    "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod

    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT204152 I am unable to update my App  store Updations. the reason being billing problem asking to update payment method.many times i updated my credit card details but refusing from the system .how can i update my app store updations like  Face book etc.

    I am unable to update my App  store Updations. the reason being billing problem asking to update payment method.Many a  times i updated my credit card details but refusing from the system .how can i update my app store updations like  Face book etc....Using ! phone 6plus  .IOS8.3

    What do you mean by 'refusing from the system', if you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
    For a credit card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If it is and if you are getting a 'declined' message then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If when trying to download you are getting a message about a 'problem with a previous purchase' then that implies that iTunes wasn't able to collect the money for your last purchase. If that is the case then you won't be able to download anything else (including app updates) until you've paid off what you owe : Pay an unpaid balance in the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    If you aren't getting the 'problem with a previous purchase' message then try logging into your account (not when trying to download something) and see if you get the 'none' option so that you can remove the card's details and be able to download updates to your apps : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support

  • I imported files from an external hard drive to Itunes on a new computer.  they imported & play fine, but the ratings & playlists are gone & i am unable to update any info.  I found a file name playlist on old drive & imported now most files are missing!

    Can you locate the iTunes Library.itl file on the old drive? Ideally you would have simply copied over the entire iTunes folder structure from <User's Music> on the old computer into <User's Music> on the new one to transfer the library will all playlists, ratings, play counts etc. intact.

  • I am suddenly unable to update or download apps on my iphone 3G.  It says "the download will be available after you log in to itunes from your computer." I never had to do that before.  Even when I do log in from the computer, it still doesn't work.

    I am suddenly unable to update or download apps on my iphone 3G.  It says "the download will be available after you log in to itunes from your computer." I never had to do that before.  Even when I do log in from the computer, the download still doesn't work.  So what's going on?  Why would I need to go the computer to download an app to my phone?  That defeats the whole purpose of having the phone, which is to do stuff when you are not at the computer!@!@  Any help greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Have you tied connecting to another network?

  • Unable to Update Collection from Tabular Form

    I have built several Tabular Forms where I have updated the apex_collection with the data entered into the form. Then I loop thru the collection and update the database.
    I now Copy a working form to create a new form using data from a different table. All I am doing is changing the underly apec_collection with a different select statement and give it a new collection name. The number of columns on the tabular form are the same as the working form.
    Now I run the form and I get ORA-01403: no data found Error UNABLE to UPDATE ROWS
    It is acting like it is not finding any data from the collection. But I put in the same selection critera for the update into a report below the tabular form and I see data just fine.
    Here is the code I am using to update the collection when the SAVE button is pressed (Process on Submit before Calculations).
    begin
    for c1 in (
    select seq_id from apex_collections
    where collection_name = 'IPR_MATRIX' and c001 = :P21_FACILITY
    and c002 = :P21_DEPT
    order by seq_id) loop
    c := c+1;
    apex_collection.update_member_attribute (p_collection_name=> 'IPR_MATRIX',
    p_seq=> c1.seq_id,p_attr_number =>5,p_attr_value=>wwv_flow.g_f01(c));
    apex_collection.update_member_attribute (p_collection_name=> 'IPR_MATRIX',
    p_seq=> c1.seq_id,p_attr_number =>6,p_attr_value=>wwv_flow.g_f02(c));
    apex_collection.update_member_attribute (p_collection_name=> 'IPR_MATRIX',
    p_seq=> c1.seq_id,p_attr_number =>7,p_attr_value=>wwv_flow.g_f03(c));
    apex_collection.update_member_attribute (p_collection_name=> 'IPR_MATRIX',
    p_seq=> c1.seq_id,p_attr_number =>8,p_attr_value=>wwv_flow.g_f04(c));
    apex_collection.update_member_attribute (p_collection_name=> 'IPR_MATRIX',
    p_seq=> c1.seq_id,p_attr_number =>9,p_attr_value=>wwv_flow.g_f05(c));
    apex_collection.update_member_attribute (p_collection_name=> 'IPR_MATRIX',
    p_seq=> c1.seq_id,p_attr_number =>10,p_attr_value=>wwv_flow.g_f06(c));
    apex_collection.update_member_attribute (p_collection_name=> 'IPR_MATRIX',
    p_seq=> c1.seq_id,p_attr_number =>11,p_attr_value=>wwv_flow.g_f07(c));
    apex_collection.update_member_attribute (p_collection_name=> 'IPR_MATRIX',
    p_seq=> c1.seq_id,p_attr_number =>12,p_attr_value=>wwv_flow.g_f08(c));
    apex_collection.update_member_attribute (p_collection_name=> 'IPR_MATRIX',
    p_seq=> c1.seq_id,p_attr_number =>13,p_attr_value=>wwv_flow.g_f09(c));
    apex_collection.update_member_attribute (p_collection_name=> 'IPR_MATRIX',
    p_seq=> c1.seq_id,p_attr_number =>14,p_attr_value=>wwv_flow.g_f10(c));
    apex_collection.update_member_attribute (p_collection_name=> 'IPR_MATRIX',
    p_seq=> c1.seq_id,p_attr_number =>15,p_attr_value=>wwv_flow.g_f11(c));
    apex_collection.update_member_attribute (p_collection_name=> 'IPR_MATRIX',
    p_seq=> c1.seq_id,p_attr_number =>16,p_attr_value=>wwv_flow.g_f12(c));
    end loop;
    end;
    Any Ideas what I am doing wrong?

    c is set to 0
    It looks like I may have found my problem.
    There tabular form is limited by a where clause in the report to a subset of the collection. Making the collection match the same where clause seems to have fixed my problem.
    Not clear on why that works like that but it looks like I may have it working.
