Update failure iphone 4

My itunes asked me if I wanted to update my iphone 4! I did this and whilst it was updating it said update failed and that I must connect to itunes again and restore. I have lost everything. I cannot believe it!!

Certainly you did not update without making sure that everything on your iphone was on your computer.

  • Just updated my iphone 4s and now my phone says sim failure

    I just updated my iphone 4s to ios 6.1.3 and then a message came up saying 'sim failure' and it said 'invalid sim' where my carrier name should have been at the top. I turned it off and on again to try to fix this but now it just says searching where my carriers name should be.Now it wont let me send texts or phone anyone because it says my number is unknown.
    Does anyone know how to fix this without having to get a new sim card?
    Thanks

    Remove and re-insert the SIM.
    If the problem continues, replace the SIM.

  • 3g failure after 6.1.4 update on Iphone 5 solution

    Hi Everyone
    I recently updated my Iphone 5 ios to 6.1.4 and in the beginning I had a great 3G signal.
    Although after I made a phone call I noticed I only had EDGE and wasn't able to get 3G.
    I tried resetting my phone, Turning Airplane mode on and off, nothing seemed to work.
    I then tried manually changing my Carrier settings, and that worked just perfect and within seconds
    My 3G was up and running. I now have a much better signal as well.
    Here are the steps:
    Settings > Carrier > turn Automatic OFF
    It should automatically start searching for your local carrier networks. When you see your network pop up, select it and within seconds your 3G should be up and running.  And that's about it!
    Hope this helps! Please let me know!
    Good luck!!

    It obviously is because you didnt understand. The iphone 4's last update to IOS 6.1.3 in some cases caused the phones speakers to not work (in which this happened to mine and a few people I know) which some people got rid of their phones. HENCE the AUDIO UPDATE that they recently posted but only iPhone 5 can download the update. That is my problem. I have alot of apple products diesel vdub and have had apple for a long time but I can't seem to understand why they would do this and I posted this in hopes to find more people that have had this issue and if they did anything to help fix it this issue. Thank you for your concern though.

  • IOS 5 update failure for iPhone. Help!!

    I have tried to update my iPhone to IOS5 but it keeps "timing out", says to check if settings are correct. How do I do that????

    Temporarily disable ALL of your antivirus/antispyware software and try again.

  • IPhone update failure

    I can't get the latest update (ios 5.1) for my Iphone 4
    It says - "Contacting iphoneprogramupdateserver" and that's all, nothing happens.
    I have updated itunes, reset the iphone, synced it, but no change, what to do????
    Best regards /Peter

    Peter,
    I have the same problem. With the addition that the contact effort times out with the error message "There was a problem while fetching software for the iPhone unit "XXX". Could not establish a network connection."
    I never had any problems with updating my iPhone before and I have been doing it regularly since mid 2008...
    The error message is actually in Swedish although I have tried to translate it above. The exact wording is: "Problem uppstod vid hämtningen av programvara för iPhone-enheten "XXX". Det gick inte att upprätta en nätverksanslutning."
    Are you perhaps in Sweden too, Peter?
    (The above relates to my efforts to update my iPhone 4 from iOS version 5.0.1 to the latest version, i.e. 5.1. Through iTunes with a cord. I have also tried to do the update wirelessly from iCloud but it only gives me a similar error message: "Software update failed. An error occured when fetching "iOS 5.1"" or actually in Swedish: "Programuppdatering misslyckades. Ett fel inträffade vid hämtning av "iOS 5.1".")

  • IPhone 4 firmware update failure.

    Hello all.
    I have tried to update my iPhone 4 (32G, 4.0.2 firmware)to the latest firmware (4.1) but I continue to get this message:
    "The software for the iPhone "Stuart" was corrupted during download.
    Disconnect and reconnect, then try again. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later."
    I have tried what it says, but that does not seem to help. I have also "repaired" (after the second time it failed) iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support and Apple Software Update but this hasn't helped either.
    Any replies/ help would be much appreciated, thank you.
    - Stuart

    I phoned up Apple because I have the two year AppleCare cover, so I'm getting a new iPhone 4 sent out and I have to give them my broken one back so I cannot try your method.
    I think your method may have worked, but I cannot say for sure obviously because, well, I have to send my iPhone back now.
    I'm sure some of these posts will come in handy to others, even though my problem has not been solved.
    I would also like to note that I tried downloading the firmware with a wired connection (on my 5th attempt) and that didn't work.
    Thank you to everyone that posted, it is much appreciated even though my issue hasn't been resolved.

  • I updated my iPhone 4S and my iPad 4 to iOS 7 now they both drop all my contents all my notes go missing I keep having to turn it off and on sometimes several times to make a phone call and the scroll rarely works is there anything I can do?

    I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 7 now my phone constantly deletes all my contacts and takes days to download them from my iCloud again, constantly needs to be turned off and on sometimes several times to make a phone call, the scroll rarely works, is there anything I can do, the apple tech told me it was something I'd just have to get used to, my phone worked perfectly before the update.

    Even if it is a hardware problem they should fix it regardless of warranty. If you buy a car and after 1.5 years the doors fall off due to a failure in their design and construction, do you think the car manufacturer could pull off what Apple is trying to do? Yes the car still delivers its primary objective of driving from A to B, but significant functionality has been lost due to their fault.
    It is the same with this iPhone wifi problem. Apple are a disgrace, I have had significant Apple Hardware failures with my MacBook Pro and iPhone within 2 years of purchase. Pathetic quality.

  • I updated my iphone 4S to 7.1.1 and now WIFI and Bluetooth do not work.

    I updated my iphone 4S to 7.1.1. Immediately after doing this, my wifi is greyed out, (cannot even turn it on), and my bluetooth is not working at all. I have discussed with Apple several times and even went to an apple service center. They claim that I have a HW issue and that I must pay $200 for another phone. HAving been a cell phone HW designer for 15 years, I know this is not true. If this is a HW issue, it was caused by the FW update. There is a problem with my phone that is a direct result of the FW update. If I could go back to the previous version, I could prove it but there is no way for me to do that. So, it looks like iphone has released an update that "breaks" some phones. What an easy way to force people to pay them $200 for a new phone. Hmmm, if other electronic manufacturers catch on to this, we are screwed. Apple has seen the issues on the internet and has seen the issues reported on thier own Communities. They know that many people are reporting the same problem. If I can look it up, anyone can. They know that they have screwed up. So instead of biting the bullet and fixing what they broke, (peoples phones), they are taking advantage of the opportunity to make more money by telling people that they have a HW problem that they are not responsible for and that it is going to cost $200 to fix what Apple has screwed up. Just let me go back to the previous version of the IOS and my phone will work again. Is anyone else having this same issue? Has Apple lost it? I have been more than pleased with my phone. I have been thrilled with customer support. What is going on with apple? Samsung is looking better every minute.

  • So I just updated my iphone 4S to iOS 6 and was having fun trying the panorama pictures, and all of the sudden my phone turned off (it was fully charged so it's not out of batery and it felt warm) and it has since not turned on again. Suggestions?

  • My daughter has not used her ipod touch for 16 months and has forgotten her passcode.  restore factory settings keeps failing due to a software update failure!

    my daughter has not used her ipod touch for 16 months and has forgotten her passcode.  restore factory settings keeps failing due to a software update failure!
    how can i get this ipod reset.  She now has an iphone so this is going to be used by someone else in the family and should be simple to do but itunes just keeps booting it out even though it recognises that it was previously connected to our itunes account as all of the children were on my account

    That has nothing to do with an update server. Do the following:
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
      If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes

    Try the suggestions here to see if they resolve your problem:

    If those solutions don't work your iPhone 4s has probably developed a hardware problem. The permanent solution is to get it replaced.
    You can search the internet for heating and freezing solutions that might work (at least for a while).
    For example, see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj10bz5bI6A
    Root cause: On some iPhone 4s devices there may be a flow soldering problem with the WiFi chip. After long periods of WiFi activity such as installing an iOS update (for example, iOS 7 or iOS 8) there may be a connection failure. A work-around to this is the procedure in the youTube video.

  • "Software Update Failure - an error occurred installing i0S6."

    I tried to update my iphone 4 through my settings and got the error "Software Update Failure - an error occurred installing i0S6." This is not the first time that happens. I got the same error in the last 3 ios updates. The only way that I found to solve was to update by itunes, but as we have the option to update through iphone, I want to do that.
    Any suggestions on how to solve this problem will be most appreciated.

    In the last 3 ios updates I had to use itunes because through the settings I always get the same error message. The point is that I don't want to use the itunes. I want apple to fix the problem (as I can see I'm not the only one having problem). I have 2 friends that did the update in the same time that I was trying to do, and for both them it worked.

  • Hi, I am trying to update an iPhone 4 from iOS 4.3.3 to iOS 7.0.4, and every time I try to update it comes up with an error message saying that there was a problem because the network connection was reset. Is there any way I can get past this and update?

    The full message said:
    There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone "Judy's iPhone 4". The network connection was reset.
    Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.
    I am trying to update the iPhone for my grandmother, Judy, as I am leaving for Paris on Wednesday night and we want to have Facetime installed on her iPhone before then, so we can stay in contact with each other. It is the simplest way for this to happen but the program simply will not allow me to update her iPhone.
    Is there any way to get past this error and update her iPhone? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
