Updating to iOS 4.1 Fail

When I try to update my iPod touch 2nd gen with iOS 3 to iOS 4.1 everything proceeds normally until iTunes is backing up my iPod. Then the load bar stops indefinitely and I eventually have to canel the update. I've let it go on overnight before too, so I know it's not just taking a really long time. Please help!

Welcome to the forum, hirschman23.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the the iPod touch to turn off.
* If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the touch. When you reconnect the USB cable to the touch, the device should power on.
Note: If you see an image of an empty battery with socket to lightening bolt symbol, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure the battery has some charge and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When a screen with a Usb cord pointing the iTunes symbol appears you can release the Home button.
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see alert text: "iTunes has detected an touch in recovery mode..."
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see [this article|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495] and its related links.
Hope this solves your problem.

HT4623 update process fails with the following message "Unable to Verify Update. iOS 6.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected Internet."

my iphone 5 is connected to a wi-fi network and i'm able to browse the web and receive emails. however when i try to update the software the process fails with the following message "Unable to Verify Update. iOS 6.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected Internet." It gives an open to "Close" or "Try again", but the retry is also unsuccessful.

Try to connect to secure web site. If you can't, that would mean that your iphone is unable to authenticate itself to apple servers in order to download update. If you can - I would still guess same but with less certainty and suggest to update on another network.

Update to iOS 5.0 fails repeatedly, why?

The error message says "network connection timed out" when it hasn't. it always stops after 668.7 of the 668.8 download. I have tried on different network (although on the same lap top)

Disable Firewall and Anti-Virus
This is often the simplest solution and this is what you should try first. Temporarily disabling your antivirus software and firewalls often works to cease the network time outs. I can’t give specific instructions for this because there are so many different types of antivirus and firewalls out there, but it’s usually just a matter of finding the program in question and disabling it. Obviously, once the iOS update has been run successfully, you’ll want to re-enable the firewall or antivirus.
Uninstall and Re-install iTunes
This seems to be more effective for Windows users, but sometimes just uninstalling iTunes and re-installing the latest version is enough to resolve network connection errors.
Flush DNS Cache
Sometimes flushing your DNS cache is enough to resolve the network time outs, here is how to do this for Mac OS X and Windows:
Flushing DNS Cache in Mac OS X
We’ve covered this before but here’s a reminder:
Launch the Terminal from /Applications/Utilities
At the command prompt, type in “dscacheutil -flushcache” and hit return
After the command has executed, you can exit Terminal and your DNS has been flushed
This works in Mac OS X 10.5 and Mac OS X 10.6 or later.Flushing DNS Cache in Windows XP, Vista, and 7
Go to the Start menu and click on “Run”
In the “Run” box, type in ‘command.com’
When the DOS prompt appears, type in ‘ipconfig /flushdns’ and hit return
If the command has run properly, you’ll see a message saying DNS Resolving Cache has been flushed
You can now close the command.com prompt window
Note: if you encounter an error in Windows saying you do not have permissions or need authentication, make sure you run command.com as an Administrative user. You can do this by right-clicking on Run and selecting “Run as Administrator.”
Manually Download the iOS Update
If you’re having problems downloading the update file (IPSW), you can actually download these directly from Apple rather than through iTunes. This is recommended more for advanced users since there are so many versions of iOS and firmware available, but here are the repository links:
iPhone Firmware IPSW file downloads
iPad Firmware & IPSW file downloads
iPod Touch Firmware & IPSW file downloads
If you go this route, here is where the IPSW files are stored locally on your machine:
IPSW location in Mac OS X: ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
IPSW location in Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
IPSW location in Windows Vista & Windows 7: \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
This is where a corrupt or half-downloaded IPSW file will sit too, but you should backup the existing IPSW file before overwriting it with a new version just in case.

After update to IOS 4: safari failed to open webmail

When i trie to open webmail of ING i don't get to see the log in page.
My girlfriend has not updated yet and she can still see the page.
It's the same as you see on the internet on any computer
https://webmail.ing.nl/CookieAuth.dll?GetLogonWrapper?url=%2F&reason=0
Does anyone have a solution?

I was having the same problem, I went to the "Apple Store" and a tech guy told me to back up everything on iTunes, and then load as a new phone.... Safari then worked... I then had to tell iTunes to reload all the apps and stuff on the new install... Don't know if this will help you, but I was having exactly the same problem with my Lotus notes webmail server.....
Worked for me.

PC no longer recognises my iPhone after trying to update to iOS 5...Help!?!?

When returning from popping out of the house, as the Back UP and Update was taking forever, I came home to find that my iPhone has updated to iOS 5 but failed to Restore itself. On top of this my PC no longer recognises my iPhone and issues a message 'USB Device Not Recognized'. Now I have tried several attempts at fixing this, reinstalling iTunes, disabling and re-enabling USB Drives but nothing seems to work. So I am now left with an empty phone, no contacts nothing, which can't even connect to my PC.
Any Ideas???????????????????

I had the same problem, I shut down the computer, disconnected it, etc... nothing helped. I went to the Apple store and they fixed it by restoring my phone to factory defaults and then updating. When I got home I connected to Itunes and it synched all my information back to the phone. If you have synched your information to Icloud you have to do it there!

My new iphone 5 is frozen, with the cord to computer symbol on the screen after failing to finish updating to ios 7. iTunes no longer sees the phone. I've tried rebooting the computer, rebooting the iPhone, but iTunes still doesn't see the iPhone.

If your computer doesn't see the phone when you plug it in, you may have to take it to an Apple Store.

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),
Jens

iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
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

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 3GS is getting the same error. I've called Apple a bunch of times, and they won't get back to me. I'm searching through discussions to figure out a solution.

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.

I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
Thanks very much for your feedback.
