Update Carrier settings fail

I have updated iTunes and when I connect the iPone I get a message to update the Carrier Settings. This however fails with the prompt " iTunes could not update the Carrier Settings on your iPhone. An unknown error occured (0xE8000057).
Any clues what this means at how it should be solved ?

I have the same problem with you.
I have tried to restore the IPhone. It can restore and update successfully. However, the problem remains after it.
I am using PCCW in Hong Kong

    What does "update carrier settings" Mean?  Settings for what?

    It means just what it says. Carrier settings are the settings the carrier installs on the phone to connect it properly to their network. Periodically, carriers push updates to those settings. You should accept them.

  • '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.

  • HT201270 What's the benefit of updating carrier settings?

    I received a notification to update carrier settings on my iPhone 5. But I am not able to find the benefits of updating my iOS with this new update.

    Carrier updates are sometimes issued to reslove issues the phone may be experiencing. Why don't you contact your carrier and ask what this update is all about.

  • Update carrier settings

    I synced my phone over the weekend and got a message about "update carrier settings" which I believe relates to cell service interface.
    Searching the forum here, there seems to be a number of posts about this starting early Feb on the East coast, and including Australia and parts of Europe; none seemed to have any concrete resolution. Some posts say performance is much worse after, some say much better. I'm in Southern California, could be something AT&T didn't roll out there till recently?
    Since updating mine, I get "No Service" in places where things used to be fine, like my home, and side by side with my AT&T 3G Blackberry (from my employer - I wouldn't choose that beast) the iPhone may show 2-3 bars less signal than the crack-berry. Not scientific, I know, but if the 'berry only has 2, the iPhone is dead in the water.
    Anyone else in SoCal seeing this? Any tips on what to do about my perceived problem?
    Thanks!

    Well, pragmatically, the update correlated to service problems, but after 2 hard resets, phone service seems to be back to its usual well-behaved self, if not even better than before. Could be coincidence, could be the installer didn't clean up after itself, but all is good now.
    Thanks for the link to the kb article.

  • Updated Carrier Settings - All 3rd party apps now crash on startup.

    Updated the new Carrier Settings today. Now all 3rd party apps on the iPhone crash on startup. Am I the only one experiencing this?
    Rebooted several times
    Running 3.1 (7C144)
    Thanks!

    Just wanted to post in the event someone else had the same issue. I did a restore and reset. All third party apps went away (poof).
    I had to manually re-install my apps from the app-store. Thank goodness iTunes tracks your previous purchases.

  • HT201270 Why do I get a message about updating carrier settings on my iPad every day?

    I get this message every day. How can it need to update the settings every single day? It is weird. Ive been getting this for 2 weeks now.

    I am still getting the carrier message so the O2 Guru didn't make any difference.
    Thanks.
    Well I've been on to Apple Support again and they say that since I did a factory restore I'd have a virgin copy of the iOS so it can't be a problem with that. I asked about there being a bug in the iOS but he wouldn't hear of this - no one else seems to have complained to Apple about this but I did mention this Discussion Group. All he could suggest is that I try another computer, to do a factory restore again there and then come back to the Mac!
    I do have a WIndows XP virtual machine and am trying that just now, to see if this gets rid of the problem, and I'll report back. However it's not everyone that would have the facility to go down this route!

  • HT201270 Update Carrier Settings (MacBook Pro + iPad)

    Using iPad in the UK on O2 carrier. 
    As of yesterday, iTunes keeps asking if I want to update the carrier settings of the iPad.  I've run the update more than once already and whenever I link the iPad to iTunes it asks me again.
    Did this happen to anyone?  Any solutions?  It is quite annoying...
    Thank You

    There are others with the same problem:

  • Updated carrier settings degrading reception?

    I downloaded the new carrier settings on Monday and since then my reception has gone through the floor. Is there any way to roll back the update? Anyone else having this problem?

    Have you reset (not restart) your phone? Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-10 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings. See page 34 of the manual... http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf

  • 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.

  • Update carrier settings? Should I do it?

    I just recently got my iPhone back and factory unlocked and I plugged it in onto my laptop and when iTunes showed up it asked me if I would like to carrier update my settings? Im not sure if i should do this because I have never done it before. I currently have the Iphone 4S and unlocked for tmobile. Original carrier was AT&T. I am just scared if this can have an effect on the unlock settings and reset it to AT&T carrier? Help?

    I am getting this message every day when I plug my iPhone 3GS into iTunes. I also have an unlocked iPhone with a T-mobile account. I update and it says it was updated, yet the next time I plug my iPhone into my Mac, it does it all again. It is getting annoying.

  • How to update carrier settings?

    I'm needing some help. I'm using my wife's 3GS 6.1.6 it was a AT&T phone but I'm using it on Straight Talks network. My issue is I seen a lot of videos on YouTube where when the user inserts the activated SIM card into the phone the carrier name changes to HOME. Well mine don't before the phone got switched I updated its AT&T carrier settings. Now with the Straight Talk sim the carrier text still says AT&T. How can I fix this issue without restoring?

    It cannot be "factory unlocked" but it can be officially unlocked by AT&T if you meet their requirements for unlocking.
    There is nothing else that can be done.  If the device is carrier locked to one carrier, it will never get carrier updates for another carrier.

  • Bios Update or Settings Failed, HELP!

     ?(
    I just updated the bios yesterday and got a reboot.
    Everything seemed to be fine at first, I didnt let windows
    start but entered the bios settings to see if there is
    anything changed there. -I dunno why- but I changed
    the cpu factor from default to 12, for my Morgan 1200
    cpu. I thought it had a factor of 12. I rebooted again,
    and !DANG!, nothing worked! No screen, no hdd, no
    anything! I tried to clear CMOS from the jumper, I
    believe JP1 or something like that, near the PCI slots,
    on the edge of the board. I made it 2-3 from 1-2, wait
    a few seconds and rebooted, nothing...
    I set FSB to safe 100mhz rebooted, nothing.
    Unplugged the cpu, re-plugged it, nothing.
    What should I do??? I read from the forums that when
    you clear CMOS, you should also remove power chord
    and wait about 2-3 hours. is that the way it is? should
    it help if I try like that? what is the expected time for a
    CMOS clear up?
    Please help, I hate breaking things, and I love my PC.
    So I really hate breaking my PC.

     :D  :D  :D  :D  :D
    All guys (and girls) thank you all!!!
    At last everything is working fine.
    I have downgraded to 2.4, removed the cmos battery,
    removed the psu cord, cleared the cmos with the cmos
    jumper, left the pc about 5-6 hours in that condition,
    came back, inserted the battery, set cmos jumper to
    normal position, plugged in the psu chord and that is it!!
    Everything is working fine now! No more locks during
    reboots. Thank you all who helped with their brilliant
    experiences!
    I will never ever upgrade my BIOS for sure ))
