  • IOS 5 says connection error everytime and can't install

    i cant download IOS 5 on my ipod touch 4g beacuse everytime it keeps saying connection error after it finishes.
    i really want IOS 5 so can anybody help me please on how to do it the right way.

    THIS WAS COPIED FROM A THREAD THAT WORKED FOR ME SO I CAN'T TAKE THE CREDIT
    Open notepad as administrator, and direct yourself to:
    C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc
    open the "Hosts" file:
    note the "127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com" portion near the bottom. your hosts may be different, and if so, then look for that part specifically. the problem for me, lied within the fact that just before the "127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com" part, there originally was no hash(#) with the space like the rest of the hosts file. This was all I had to fix. After editing and then SAVING the hosts file in notepad I restarted iTunes and the update went through without a hitch!
    so if you do not see the hash and space before the "127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com" part, all you have to do is put the #, and then press tab! I hope this works for some of you guys! So just to be clear, that particular line in the file should look like:
    # 127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com
    good luck!

    I solved this by connecting my iphone to the office VPN.
    I thought my notebook was connected to the wireless network and that the pc and the iphone were on the same network.
    But the notebook was actually hard wired to the network.
    Once I connected to the VPN the addon connected without problems.

  • Can you download iOS updates without the iPhone connected to your computer?

    I'm trying to do the iOS 8 update for my phone - "Download Only" - and the pop-up window says "32 hours remaining!" Is there a way for me to continue the download without having the iPhone itself connected to iTunes?

    Probably. Didn't try that myself, but once the download is going your iPhone should not need to remain connected.

    Incorrect.
    What it is telling you is that you need to Update the iTunes Application on your Computer.
    iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
    Incidently... what type of computer do you have and what is its Operating System...?

  • Software update ios 6.1.2 error?

    i cannot update my ipod to this ios 6.1.2 update that was released today i think. it keeps on saying error updating this ios update and i dont know what to do? help please... is something wrong with my device?

    The ipad is connected to the network and I can access email/Internet, etc. fine.  Why would resetting the network settings fix the IOS 6.1.2 update problem?
    If you look at the thread that I linked right before your post, It's worked for a bunch of others. 
    My theory is content caching and a long expiration time on the update information that you device downloads, to reduce the load on the servers that host the updates.  If you did a wireless packet capture, you'd probably see that your device isn't even sending any packets out before giving you that error message.  Seems like the network settings reset makes it erase whatever cached copy of the update information exists on the device. 
    Again, this all being theory and speculation on my part.  The only thing I can say for fact is that it's worked for many devices here, and several others that responded to other threads.

  • IOS 5 iphone internal error

    I am getting an error message that my iphone cannot be synced with ios 5 due to an internal error. I have tried resetting it then wiped it and still getting the message.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I'm having the same problem. I hope someone (Apple?) figures out what is going on and how to fix it. I tried the "solutions" suggested when you click "more info," but those did nothing.
    @Werikz, I don't think demand has anything to do with it. The update was downloaded, it just won't install.
