'update carrier settings' after iTunes update

I'm not sure if this is an issue with the iPhone or iTunes, but after the recent iTunes update, there is a prompt "Update carrier settings" which always pops out even though I already installed it and sync'ed my phone.     

This is being discussed at Apple Support Communities -- iTunes 10.5.1.42 Bug - Repeated Update Carrier Settings Prompts on syncing with iTunes and on Whirlpool. It seems it particularly relates to Optus and Virgin Mobile. There is no fix yet.

  • Reset carrier settings after changing the carrier

    Hi,
    I want to reset the old carrier settings under "settings -> general -> about" and remove a carrier button which was added by my old carrier under "settings -> phone". Is this possible?
    Thank you very much in advance!
    Kind regards
    Sebastian

    You should be able to make the iPhone download the new carrier settings by tapping Settings > General > About, if it's a partner carrier.
    See this Apple doc for more info -> iOS: Updating your carrier settings
    Additional Information
    Note: If you insert a new SIM or micro-SIM card into your iPhone or iPad, you'll need to download the carrier settings for the new carrier wirelessly. Carrier settings are available only for iPhone support carriers and iPad partner carriers. If you're not using a partner carrier, you will need to set up the carrier's settings manually. Refer to your carrier for appropriate settings.
    Edit: What carrier are you trying to switch to? It sounds like you'll have to update the settings manually.

  • ITunes could not update the carrier settings on your iPhone

    When I try to download and install the new carrier settings file, I get the message "iTunes could not update the carrier settings on your iPhone. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." (I got a similar message when I tried to download and install the OS update.)
    I've been able to work around the problem by creating a different user and installing from there. But I'd like to be able to find and correct the cause of the error message instead of using a workaround. It seems like there's a file or folder somewhere that has somehow become read-only. Does anyone know where iTunes downloads the carrier settings and OS update files?

    That was it. Somehow the owner of ~/Library/iTunes got changed to root.

    Have you tried using Disk Utility to Repair Permissions?
    Right after I posted the message I thought that the age-old placebo of repairing permissions might actually fix my problem. Because of your quick reply I found the ownership problem before repairing permissions. So here was the perfect chance for a test. Repair Permissions ran successfully but the owner of ~/Library/iTunes was still root. Repair Permissions fails the test.
    I manually changed the owner to steve and was able to download and install the carrier settings.
    Thanks!

  • When I tried to sync my 4G iphone factory unlocked to iTunes I got this message "An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it now?"  Should I hit "Download and Update"? or "Learn More" ?

    I have a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS (eg: purchased from Apple).  I received the same message at some point and eventually (after reading a bit more) accepted "Download and Update".  No problem.  No apparent bad effects. It just seems to update things specific to the carrier (Bell Mobility in my case).

    On syncing iPhone 4 with iTunes 10.5.1.42, the message "An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to install it now?" appears, EVEN AFTER it was successfully installed previously.

  • After updating carrier settings i cannot sync music

    i was told to update my carrier settings today and after doing so i now am told to erase all my songs in my iphone because it's sync with another computer. i only have been using this computer. it's rediculous to erase 50G of songs and reinstall them.
    what do i do?

    I have the same problem: sounds muted for all apps, alerts (except the phone ring). It seems to be an intermittent software (iOS 6) problem (other threads suggest the software fault might be related to managing the docking connection state).  Mine also has some weird link to the docking connection.
    After multiple reboots, "Reset All Settings" and ear-buds in/out didn't work, I was going to resort to a complete wipe.  My work iPhone 4S isn't associated with my home PC / iTunes, so I went to do a manual back-up of photos to my PC - but no photos were visible on the PC (using Windows Explorer). The windows transfer app also alerted me that there were no photos (even thoough there were 200+ on the phone).  I took a new photo and tried again and there were all the old photos.  Also, sounds were back, plus the hardware volume control buttons were working again.
    However - disconnecting and rebooting and the controls/sounds go away again after entering my passcode .
    Plugging back into an non-iTunes PC seems to bring them back... Very frustrating.

    If you have iOS 7.1 then you must be a developer, so you should be posting in the developer forums : https://devforums.apple.com/index.jspa

    The search bar can be very valuable...........
    In using it, I found out other's have had this issue and it likely means you have a 3G iPad?  If you do, go into settings and turn off cellular data, then try to update again and you should be OK........

  • I inherited my husband's iphone 4s. After erasing all of the previous settings, updating to ios 8 I went on icloud to set it up.  During the set up, the screen froze on "carrier settings update". I can reboot, but the message comes right back.

    This is a phone re-set from a previous user.  Reset from icloud. Froze during set up, on "carrier settings update" and has the phone number pad with it. I reboot but it comes back and I can't get past it.

    Hey Jackie,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities,
    Take a look at the article linked below, it provides troubleshooting suggestions that’ll solve issues like the one that you've described, where your iPhone 4s has a blank black screen.
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
    Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
    Reset your device while it's plugged in.
    If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Cheers,
    -Jason

  • What does this mean on iTunes "An update to the carrier settings for our iPhone is available. Would you like to download it now?" Should I allow it?

  • I've changed iPad carriers but iTunes will not update the carrier settings,

    I've changed iPad carriers but iTunes will not update the carrier settings, stating that the requested resource could not be found. Does anyone know how I can download the ipcc file and force an update.

    Your iPad may already have the latest carrier settings, especially if you have updated to iOS 4.3.3.
