Update to iOS 4.2.1 failed

i own an ipod touch 2g, 16gb and i tried to update but happened an error... after that the option update wasn't available anymore, only restore... so i selected restore but it does not complete, it's 95% and it does not finish the restoring process.
and now, i tried rebooting and all these steps but none of them worked out...
what should i do?

Download the software update and try and installing it manually.

  • HT4623 update to ios 6.1.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the internet, when I am connected to my Wifi. Do I need to adjust some settings?

    Update to IOS 6.1.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the Internet when using home Wifi and verifing connectivity by using Safari to surf net and viewing wifi setting. Do setting need to be adjusted?

    This is what worked for me: Double tap your home button to bring up the programs running in the back ground, press and hold so they show the red close option and close all programs.  After that shut your iphone down and power back on.  Immediately go to General>Software Update and it should work.  Good Luck

    Is your iPad currently running an iOS lower than iOS 5? Did you get an error message with a #?
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • Updating to IOS 5 My Iphone fails in security copying

    Updating my Iphone 4 to IOS 5 the security copying fails.
    anyone who can help?

    ok thanks for someone "Wjolsten" pointing out that i might have put on the 'ringer silence' button on on the side of the phone. ......................... boy do i feel stupid. thanks all the same for the 'tech support' from Apple, Geniuses?? i dont think so.

  • HT4623 Is there ANYWAY to retrieve data lost after updating to iOS 6? Backup failed.

    I need to know if Apple can retrieve lost data after restoring mi IPhone 4. Backup failed.

    I have it but didnt back up the iPhone 3GS when i updated the iPhone 4G it didnt erase anything off of that so i didnt think it would on the 3GS

  • HT201210 Update to iOS 7.0.4 failed - why is there no option to restore to backup?

    *** apple!? An unknown error during the update wiped my phone to Recovery mode and is only giving me the option to restore to factory settings.Why cant I restore to my last backup? What happened to all of my data?

    Have you checked on your PC for locally created backups? I also remember that iTunes has the bad habit of overwriting backups from time to time, so maybe check
    Windows XP
    \Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows 7
    \Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows Vista
    \Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Mac OS X
    /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
    Maybe if you find a backup containing all of the apps you could at least get the data. Best.
    In the iTunes app go to Preferences/Devices and check how many different backups are there and the dates. Perhaps you missed being offered which backup to use to restore your iPhone.
    See if this post helps you https://discussions.apple.com/message/22379597#22379597
    So if you have the latest backup you can do a clean restore and then retrieve data from back up

  • Updating to ios 6.0.1, failed, wants me to restore.

    I've tried turning my iphone on and off but it just shows the image of the cord with an arrow towards itunes. When I plug it in it says it's in recovery mode, that it's unamed (I had named it), capacity is n/a and so is software version and serial number. Should I do what it says and restore it? It doesn't give a "restore from backup" option, just to factory settings. And would I be able to get my photos (camera roll) back if I restored to factory settings, then from a backup?

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...
    Details here...

  • Unable to verify update. iOs 8.0.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the internet.

    I have updated my iPad, my wife's iPad, but both our iPhones (5S) and (5C), give the following error every time we try.
    "Unable to verify update. iOs 8.0.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the internet."
    We are obviously connected to the internet because the updated downloaded on all 4 devices, but the iPhones will not go the next step.
    Wifi ok
    Connection ok

    Apple has pulled the iOS 8.0.1 update due to problems.
    iOS 8.0.2 will be released in "the next few days".
    Loss of cellular service or ability to use Touch ID after updating to iOS 8.0.1 on iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus
    We have a workaround for you if you have an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus and you lost cellular service and Touch ID functionality today after updating to iOS 8.0.1. You can reinstall iOS 8 through iTunes by following the instructions below. We are also preparing iOS 8.0.2 with a fix for the issue, and will release it as soon as it's ready in the next few days.

  • Sync session failed to start in iTunes after updated to iOS 7

    Sync session failed to start in iTunes after updated to iOS 7

    Restart your computer
    While your computer is restarting, clear all of the applications from the background on your iPhone. You can do this by pushing the home button twice and swiping the programs off the screen by pushing them upwards.
    After you are done doing that, restart your phone.
    Wait about 10 seconds or so and turn your phone back on. By the time you get your phone back on your computer should be completly restarted and ready to go.
    When your phone is back on, plug it into your computer. This should automatically bring up your Itunes, you may get another pop up that says autoplay, you can close that out. That's it. I hope it helps and good luck

  • IPad fails to connect to WiFi after OTA update to iOS 6

    After the OTA update to iOS 6 my new iPad fails to connect to my WiFi network at home. My LANCOM router reports the following issue:
    Index: 62294
    Zeit: 19.09.2012 21:08:28
    Interface: WLAN-1
    Ereignis: Rejected Association from WLAN station xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx []: ()
    Adresse: xxxxxxxxxxxx
    Grund: Cannot support all requested capabilities in Capability Information field
    It has worked flawlessly in the past with iOS 5 on my new iPad and iPhone 4. At the moment I hestitate to update my iPhone too.
    Anyone with the same issue or an idea how to fix it?
    Thanks in advance, greetings from Stuttgart (Germany),

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • When I updated to iOS 8.1 on my iPad 2 it failed when installing it's in recovery mode and when I go to iTunes to restore it downloads the update to about 900 Mbps then gives me error 9006

    When I updated to iOS 8.1 on my iPad 2 it failed when installing it's in recovery mode and when I go to iTunes to restore it downloads the update to about 900 Mbps then gives me error 9006

    Hi Willy,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The article below provides information about specific update and restore alerts, including the 9006 alert that you saw when attempting to update your iPad 2 to iOS 8.1. Try using the instructions provided to see if the issue is caused by a conflict with the security software on your computer.
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors
    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.
    I hope this helps,
    -Jason

  • My iphone 6 plus after updating to IOS 8.2 the touch id doesn't work neither in home unlock nor in app store and when i'm trying to add a new fingerprint it says ''failed unable to complete touch id setup.Please go back and try again'' .

    my iphone 6 plus after updating to IOS 8.2 seems to have a problem with the touch id witch doesn't work neither in home unlock nor in app store and when i'm trying to add a new fingerprint it says ''failed unable to complete touch id setup.Please go back and try again'' . I have multiple fingerprints and none of them appear to work.

    Hi Giannis,
    If you are having an issue with Touch ID not functioning as expected, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
    Use Touch ID on iPhone and iPad - Apple Support
    Start with the section titled Clean the Touch ID sensor and then Get help with Touch ID.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
