Why do all IOS upgrades fail from my MBP?

This isn't the most critical post in the world (I have work around available)... I have not been able to simply update any IOS device from my MBP, I always have the same problem the update hangs mid stream (after the IOS device reboots, and the new IOS is being installed (the progress bar on the IOS device stops in the last 10%)).
Devices effected
iPhone 3g (can't remember all of the IOS that I had on that phone but I am guessing IOS 3 - IOS 4.3.2)
iPhone 4 (IOS 4 - IOS 5.0.1)
iPhone 4S (I just got it, and I don't remember upgrading it, though I probably did it unteathered).
iPad 2 (IOS 4.something - IOS 5 <- trying to go up to IOS 5.0.1).
MBP
~2009-2010 MBP (Snow Leopard and Lion)
Disk space - 10+gb free
For years I've tried to reinstall itunes, I've tried different cables, I even upgraded my os to Lion, I always have the same problem... my solution has always been the same take it to my Windows PC, factory reinstall then restore from my MBP.  For the future I guess I will use the Wi-Fi update, but it's very annoying that I can't use my MBP to upgrade my IOS devices... and kind of a slap that I have to use my Windows PC to fix the problems caused by my Mac... anyone else had this problem?

    Likely that your optical drive is either failing or has a dirty laser lens and cannot read the disks.....

    No, Erase All Contents and Settings restores the device to factory condition but with the current iOS version.

    Why do all songs I purchase from I Tones show up as duplicates in my Song Liabary?  One has a cloud and one doesn't.

    Did you possibly do the update for new itunes software ? That may be the culprit.To get rid of the entry with cloud,go to Preferences.Go to Store.UNCHECK show itunes in cloud purchases.Click OK..This does not delete,merely hides.Good luck.

  • 2851 IOS upgrade failed with WAE

    Hello,
    I have a strange situation with WAAS.  I am in progress of a project to upgrade my Cisco IP telephony and as a result preferred to update my remote sites routers to 12.4.x T code in order to register DSP resources over SCCP and match closely the CMgr version as many of the sites running mainline code didn't have updated parameters for this.  To make a long story short, I upgraded (for other reasons) several non-voice sites routers that have WAE 512s running 4.1.7 with the latest 12.4.xT code and didn't have an issue. All upgraded sites are running 2821's or 2811's except this one site I had an issue with.  I needed T code on this particular site router and assumed since  others sites reacted well with the IOS upgrade and WAAS that this site wouldn't be different but it was!
    Situation:  After updating this 2851 router from 12.4.25c mainline to 12.4.24T3, traffic from WAN was directing to WAE but no return.  It appeared also that any LAN redirection was also working but no return from WAE.  I didn't see any WCCP flow statistics incrementing but traffic was being directed to the WAE.  WAE connection statistics were building but all TCP based traffic was getting dropped.  I tried 3 different feature sets of same code version wondering if I've encountered a bug but none of the featured images worked.  I downgraded to 12.4.24T2 and still nothing.  Changed IOS back to mainline code and WAE was back operational as expected.  During the testing of each IOS change, I've reset the WAE also hoping it didn't get hung up with some WCCP process from the previous IOS change in case there was some codebug occuring.
    Layout:
    With respect to this site, we have a 2851 with multilinked serial interfaces to MPLS; WAN interface is redirecting 62 in with an ACL that disallows a couple of hosts.  LAN side of router is single Gig port (router on a stick).  5 sub-interfaces configured with DOT1Q encap. including one interface for WAAS.  2 of these user interfaces are redirecting 61 in and of course the interface servicing WAAS is redirect excluded in.  The 61 WCCP group is also using ACL to oppositely match WCCP 62 group.
    Why would this upgrade cause a problem especially using latest T code?  Feature sets would be irrelevant.  One more thing that makes this even stranger is I have one other voice site running a 2851 with 12.4.24T3 (already running) and is configured for WCCP the very same with same 512WAE and 4.1.7 code.  The only difference is this router is running a "SP" feature set which I didn't try on this site that is failing.
    Does this make any sense to anyone?  I've seen posted from one of the WAAS experts a document listing compatible IOS version across platforms but these efforts are the latest code.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks everyone.

    Thanks Bhavin.
    Sorry, I've been traveling a lot lately for business and I haven't had a chance to respond.  And it looks like I'll be heading out again for a few days.  Meanwhile, I did want to say that I looked at a lot of these things and didn't see anything apparent.  Egress methods show GRE Return.  When I ran "show wccp flows tcp" I didnt' see any flow counts.  However I could see packets redirecting at the router with "show ip wccp".  I debugged events and packets and saw "See You" packets being sent back to the caching appliance.  WCCP looked fine from the router's viewpoint.  WCCP communications looked good rather.  But anything getting redirected to the WAE would get dropped.
    I don't have a chance right now to change IOS back to one of the non-working versions to get all of the info. but I will try soon.  Unfortunately, the site is where my executives reside and it's always a tough situation to do anything there most of the time.
    And to answer your question about having another configuration in place working .... yes I do.  I have another 2851 with 12.4(24)T3, same WAE model with WAE-4.1.7 code and everything configured the same including connections as the site that isn't working.  The only difference as mentioned before is that this working site router is running SP feature set which I know shouldn't matter but I didn't try a SP feature set however I went through ADV IP, ADV ENTER, and IP VOICE and neither worked with 2 different 12.4(X)Tx versions.  I was grasping at straws at this point.
    I figured I was going to need to get TAC involved when I could spare some time to run one of the non-working IOS images and could afford to not have WAAS working for the site but was hoping one of you guys might have seen something like this and could offer something to try to fix the issue.  It is very odd indeed.  I have other 28xx routers and all of the upgrades worked that aren't 2851's.
    I'll post more info. when I can.
    Thanks again!

  • Why does each iOS update detract from podcast functionality?

    I have a complaint about what I see as progressivly degrading behavior and functionality of podcast functionality over time.
    When I got my first iPod Touch around 2008, podcast functionality was great.  It did exactly what I wanted.  I could make playlists, order them however I wanted, sync perfectly back and forth from my iPod Touch and iTunes on my Mac, and everything worked find.
    It seems as if every iOS software update since then has either broken something about the way Podcast functionality worked, or it has removed functionality.
    I'm primarily talking about how things work on my iPod Touch but the same complaint applies to my iPad (though I haven't used my iPad for playing podcasts recently).
    After the latest update a few days ago, the functionality is such that it is no longer useful to me.  This is a major *subtraction* from the usefulness and appeal of the device to me.  I have been thinking that at the end of my current phone contract I would upgrade to an iPhone, replacing both my current Android phone and 4th gen iPod Touch, but now I'm not so sure.  Maybe I will, but this change in functionality I describe below is making it hard for me to feel positive about it.
    Listening to news podcasts is a major (more than 50%) purpose of me having and using my iPod.  Breaking this is a serious problem.  From my point of view this a far worse problem than the Google Maps fiasco.
    Here is how I *used* to use it, and how I still *want* to use it, but cannot:
    I subscribe to various podcasts in iTunes.  Currently I'm getting about 8 or 10 podcasts from various news sources around the world.  (This works fine.)
    In iTunes, I put the podcasts into a "smart playlist" that includes all of the unplayed episodes of the podcasts, *in chronological order*, *ordered by release date* (*not* download date). (This works fine.)
    Sometimes I listen to the podcasts on my computer using iTunes. (This works fine.)
    I plug in my iPod Touch to sync with iTunes. (Looks like it works but no longer does what I expect or what seems reasonable to me.)
    I *want* to resume playing unplayed podcasts from exactly the same list that I was listening to on my computer, picking up from eactly where I left off. (This is completely broken.)
    When I return from being in my car or out jogging or the end of my workday at the office listening to my iPod, I want to plug my iPod back into my computer, sync up the list, and resume playing on my computer from the same list from where I left off on the iPod.  (This seems somewhat broken.)
    All of this used to work perfectly when I got my first iPod Touch back around 2008. (I don't recall the exact date but it was not long after the iPhone and iPod Touch were introduced.)  Almost every software update since then has either broken something about this, or explicitly removed some part of the functionality, making it more and more irritating to use over time.  I can't help but think "What the **** is wrong with Apple?"  There is so much stuff that the company does great, and it perplexes me how they can screw this up so badly, so continuously.
    Here is my perception of the changes in behavior over time:
    syncing back and forth between iTunes on my computer and the iPod Touch has grown increasingly buggy, with the software messing up more and more often in terms of both what stuff would be recognized as unplayed and also keeping track of the place where I left off.
    the ordering of the playlist used to match the order in iTunes (which is exactly what I want) but over time it diverged more and more (which I don't want).
    not long ago (I think around the time of the upgrade from iOS 5 to iOS 6), the podcast and music playlist features were made completely separate in the iPod touch -- but not in iTunes.  So in iTunes I have my perfectly functioning smart playlist but on my iPod Touch I have an empty playlist and the podcasts are played by a separate app.  At least there was the option to play "Unplayed Podcasts" (or some name like that) which was close enough.
    the latest update from a few days ago got rid of this ability to play the unplayed podcasts.
    As far as I am concerned this it totally unacceptable.  No, I am *not* going to stream over WiFi, because I'm not always in WiFi range, for example when I'm in my car.  And if I were to replace my iPod Touch with an iPhone, then also no, I am *not* going to stream everything over the air from the cloud because (a) I don't want to use up and overshoot my phone plan data allowance; (b) I don't want to have to pay extra to store stuff in the cloud; and (c) even if I did both of those things it still doesn't solve the problem of no longer being able to play from a playlist that includes podcasts from many sources.
    I'm really upset with Apple over this, and I see ho hope of any satisfactory outcome.

    Apple does not monitor these forums. To inform Apple go to:

  • IOS upgrade failed, forced to restore--but how...?

    Well, I plugged in my iPhone4 last night, set it up to upgrade, and left it alone for a few hours. Just before I went to bed, I checked on it, and there was a popup that said "unable to upgrade" (or words to that effect). My iPhone was in the cradle with a black screen, the silver apple, and a non-moving empty status bar. I removed it and re-booted it (since I didn't know what else to do).
    So, up pops the 'please plug in to iTunes' graphic, so I did, and was prompted to Restore, I did, and then was prompted to restore from backup (from 9.12pm yesterday, so quite fresh). I did--or so I thought.
    Got up this morning and grabbed the iPhone out of the dock--and then noted it had prompted me--at some point--to reconfirm my iCloud password. I did. Unfortunately, now I seem to have all my apps greyed out and labeled Waiting.
    Fortunately, I have wifi here at work, but not sure what to do next. Will these apps restore themselves during the day? Do I need to re-initiate a Restore?
    Thanks in advance...

  • Why has all my music disappeared from my iphone 4S (iOS6)?

    This morning on the train into work I was listening to a track as usual on my iPhone 4S (iOS6).
    The track finished, so I used my Beats headphones to skip to the next track (as usual) and there was just a prolonged silence.  On taking my phone out of my pocket I then saw that all my music content had disappeared!  When I go into the Music app it simply displays 'No Content'.
    As I am not at home, I cannot re-sync. 
    I want to know how on earth Apple can be releasing an update that causes so much hassle?
    Can anyone help & explain why the above has happened?
    Thanks.

    For some reason, I did not see that you had replied to my reply (usually get an email notification), so sorry about the delay.
    iTunes syncing is generally in one direction only, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod (and that is by design).  You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.  (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
    Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library.  After confirming everything is there, you can then sync your iPod to that iTunes library.

  • Upgrade fails from snow leopard to Mountain lion, It says intall failed.

    I follow below steps to upgrade my Mac mini from Snow Leo to Mountain Lion.
    Purchase Mountain Lion from App Store
    Pay $19.99
    It downloads 4.5GB
    Ask me for restart
    Installation starts with 37min remaining to install the OS
    Around 11min remaining, It fails.
    Error Says (Install Failed, OS X  could not be installed on your computer)
    I tried restarting 5 times, but same result evertime.
    Any help will be really appreciated.

    Do you know how much RAM you have?
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, or are running 10.7+, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitiion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Permissions.
    Re-install if that doesn't work.

  • Why does all the content delete from my iPod everytime it connects to iTunes

    I'm getting real frustrated and I am getting sick of the same thing happening everytime. I don't know if it's my computer or if it's iTunes. I have an iPod classic 160Gb, the computer is Acer - Aspire One 772 (it's junk, but it works for the time being) Windows 7 (64)
    Here is what happens: I only have podcasts in my iTunes. I have about 15 different podcasts and about 169 episodes in my iTunes. I check and download episodes daily. After downloading episodes, I hook up my iPod to transfer new podcasts to the iPod. iTunes shows everything working fine but after ejecting my pod and looking to see if they transferred they are all deleted. I get angry and want to break everything but I resist.
    To get podcasts onto my iPod I have to restart my computer, open iTunes, reset sync history, then connect my iPod. It doesn't get recognized, so I have to restore the iPod. After restoring I sync it up. Lately it has been freezing during the sync at about 65 episodes. I have to force iTunes to shut down and sometimes go through the restore process. So after listening to my iPod all day, I will come home, check for and download new episodes and hook up my iPod and bam...no more podcasts on my iPod. I need solutions on what could be causing this and how to fix it.
    This is what I have done so far: I have tried another iPod classic and the same thing happens. I have deleted iTunes and reinstalled it. I have checked the iPods with Windows for errors and bad sectors. My last option that I am holding out on, is to delete iTunes and delete all the podcasts from the computer. When I first got this temp. computer everything worked good. I do not know what happened.
    Any ideas, thoughts and solutions are welcomed.
    Thanks,
    Kenny

  • IOS Upgrade originating from a MPLS VRF

    What is equivalant MPLS "copy tftp flash" command to copy an image from a TFTP server located in a VRF? I can't get the router to pull IOS images unless the TFTP server is located in the Global Routing Table. I do realize this may be a stupid question btw... :)

    Martin,
    You are correct that the "ip tftp source-interface" command will get it to work but only for images integrating CSCea89507.
    Use the following link to find out in which images this DDTS is integrated:

  • All iCloud mail failing from all devices

    All of my devices are indicating a log on failure to iCloud email.  Have checked password which functions fine to open iCloud.com account, so this is likely a server problem at iCloud.  Does anyone have advice on this.  Now a REAL problem for me. - Steve

    YES.  Mine is up now.  All delayed emails no in the IN Box.  ***?  That was a major problem -- bad for the reputation of iCloud and Apple.  I guess all systems have issues now and then - that's why it's only 5x9 reliability rather than 100%.  Thanks for replies. - Steve  (lets hope it stays up)

  • Why does logging into MobileMe fail from imac

    For some reason, the mail application on my iMac fails to log into my MobileMe/iCloud email account.  It only affects one of my account, the other two work flawlessly.  I am able to access this same email account from Safari and my smartphone.  What gives?!?!  I deleted the mail account and re-added it, I checked the various email/firewall settings... this is really ******* me off!  Will someone please provide some help and/or incite?  Thank you advance.

    I think I may have found the issue: I am running 10.6, so MobileMe is still the 'program' that it tries to access and, apparently, the default settings are no longer valid.  After deleting the the account, I attempted to add the account again, which of course failed.  I hit 'continue' at the bottom of the page after the fail and went to the next page which had a drop down menu with the following choices: MobileMe, POP, IMAP, etc.  Changing from the default MobileMe to IMAP did the trick.
