When I try and update to iOS 5....

It tells me that I need to erase and sync. This is the ONLY computer I've ever used with iTunes (But it's previously been wiped a couple times, cause we've had problems, but it's the same computer and the same library.) I really want to update to iOS 5, so help me please?

- You may be able to redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If the iPod still has the music then:
- iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party pogram like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities

    Are you running Leopard on your Mac, Laurie?
    If so, try instead updating to iTunes 10.6.3.25. (That supports earlier models of iPhones running iOS 6, even though it can't run the new iPhone 5s.)
    A .dmg installer for iTunes version 10.6.3.25 for Mac OS can be found at the following download page on the Apple website:
    iTunes 10.6.3

    it's annoying me now as it won't let me put music on my phone.

    Download iTunes here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you're trying to connect your iPod to a new computer that doesn't have your iTunes library on it already then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Any one know what error -5000 is?  I get this error when I try to update to IOS 5 on my 3gs phone.

    Any one know what error -5000 is?  I get this error when I try to update to IOS 5 on my 3gs phone.

    I am also facing the same issue.
    four days back, my power buttton stopped working.
    Then my sim card slot stopped reading like it was stuck at gsm/cdma band.
    Even without simcard it said searching..
    then I changed the power button and antenna strip myself as my iphone5 is uk ee and i live in india.
    Everything was fine and I booted the phone.
    The power button worked like a new device... but the searching problem still remained.
    I hard resetted my phone but to no vail. even Find My phone was not turning off.
    then I forced my phone to recovery mode and downloaded iphone5,2 7.0.2,11A501_restore.ipsw from web and flashed it.
    At the start it recognised and everything was good until the "restoring iphone firmware" was stuck at the end point.
    I tried every trick on net. Even tried to downgrade.. but it was blocked.
    at the last it is either stuck at firmware or itunes unknown error (3)
    Please somebody help me to recover this PAPERWEIGHT to a phone again...

  • HT3204 signature invalid comes up when i try and update

    When I try and update my itunes it comes up signature invalid and wont update

    Try the simple changes of St-Street. Rd-Road, Ave-Avenue first, maybe you'll get lucky. I tried multiple different changes and nothing worked for me.
    Someone in a previous thread received an email that said itunes/apple was aware of the problem and were working on it.
    Edit: Just tried something else LOL and it worked.
    I deleted my address, typed it in the second line, when I hit enter it told me the form was not complete. I then deleted my address from the second line and then retyped it in the first- spelling out North instead of N (like my mail actually says) and Street instead of St. 
    Finally my days of annoyance are over, hope yours is resolved soon too.

  • When I try and update my flash player, it downloads as a .mdlp file.  How do I fix this?

    When I try and update my flash player, it downloads as a .mdlp file.  How do I fix this?

    Apologies for the slightly pedantic answer, but in application terms, "closed" and "quit" are two different things. An application such as Safari can have several windows open, and each of them can be closed using the red button in the corner.
    However, even after all windows are closed, the application is still running until you specifically quit it. You can tell it's still running by the small light under its icon in the Dock. If you hold your cursor down on the icon for a few seconds, you should see a pop up menu with the "Quit" option - click that to quit it. Or, click the icon once (this may launch a new window), then either go to the Safari menu and click Quit, or click cmd-Q, to completely quit the app.

    You need to discard or save to an external disk and then discard some of the stuff we all tend to keep forever (movies, music, pictures, docs, apps no longer used, etc.). A clogged up disk also does not function ideally either.

    When I try to update to iOS 8 my phone says it's up to date but it is not. It is iOS 7. How do I update my phone?

    The iPhone 4, which is what you show in your profile, can only run up to iOS 7.1.2. You cannot update that device to iOS 8.1.3, the most current iOS.

  • How do I update my iOS? I have the iPad 1 and have tried over and over to try and update the iOS version to iOS 5.1, nothing works it will start updating then say that it did not update? PLEASE HELP!!!

    How do I update my iOS? I have the iPad 1 and have tried over and over to try and update the iOS version to iOS 5.1, nothing works it will start updating then say that it did not update? PLEASE HELP!!! P.s I'm running newest version of iTunes.

    Connect your iPad to your computer and let iTunes back up your iPad. After it does that disconnect it and go into your settings under general and under reset and select erase all content. After you do that reconnect to your computer, open iTunes and follow the screen options to set up your iPad as new. Once it is done doing that see if you have the latest version of iOS installed and if it does then either download gain the apps you had before or restore them from the backup made previous.

  • When I try to update to iOS 7  on my iPad, it says I'm current with version 5

    That is correct. The  original iPad 1 cannot be upgraded past iOS 5.1.1.
    Sorry.

  • When i try and updat my itunes it says 'the path isnnt found' and that I 'dont have access to the location'??

    When i try to update my itunes an error message tells me 'the path cannot be found' and 'you dont have access to this location' any help?

    OK so you need to do a cleanup with the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility.
    First download the latest iTunes installer and save it on your PC
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you want Quicktime get it from here;
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    The Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility has been withdrawn by Microsoft because of compatibility issues with Microsoft Office so you will need to find a copy elsewhere – the installer is msicuu2.exe. You need version 3.
    Google  msicuu2.exe download
    mydigitallife in the above search has a copy of version 3
    Check for malware before installing it.
    Now uninstall iTunes and all related components using the method here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    or for XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    One or more of the uninstalls will fail, don't worry.
    Carry on and delete the files given in the method.
    Restart your PC
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
    If you get  permission denied error, Try Run as Administrator – an option if you right click on the program.
    Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
    If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did *not* uninstall, look out for entries that start All Users that are blank entries or have numeric entries that look like version numbers
    restart your PC and try installing iTunes
