Why is my iOS 6 update not working?

I have tried updating my iPhone 4s to iOS 6 since wednesday and its not working, I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes on 2 laptops and both say the download has been corrupted and when I try to update the phone over wifi it says there has been an error... I have even tried to restore the phone but that won't work either. PLEASE HELP!

Ask your carrier to send you the settings over wifi and then install them that way.
I'm on giffgaff and I used the giffgaff app from the store to sort this out.
Overall though I must say Apple has let itself down on this as why isn't something written in the ios script that keeps the original settings??
Very Poor indeed and I held off using Apple products for years for this very reason!!

  • Why is the IOS 8 update not available for the Iphone 4?

    Why is the IOS 8 update not available for the Iphone 4? Will it ever be available? I cannont afford a new Iphone at this time so why am i being penalized for not having a new Iphone. Very upset

    I think they want you to upgrade to the new Iphone  or get the Iphone c or s
    Well of course they would, but that's not why iPhone 4 can't have iOS8.  It is simply the fact iPhone 4 can't support the features of iOS8.  Le'ts be realistic in recognizing iPhone 4 is now over 4 years old.  In cell phone land, that is ancient........

  • Group messages in iOS 8 updated not working on my iphone 5

    i updated to the new iOS 8 this morning on my iphone 5 and now the group messaging isn't working.
    no group message option in setting neither. help please.

    I have this problem too - and it is on a BRAND new iPhone 6 - I have definitively tracked the issue to the moment I upgraded to iOS 8.1.2 - and am beyond frustrated. No fix to tell you about, sorry…but you can read my post here if you are into the whole "misery loves company" thing: iOS 8.1.2 Cellular data problem (Definitive - maybe)

    Try Reboot press & hold power button & menu button hold both down until yo see Apple Logo you will not lose any data Then try to update over Wifi if your Wifi is to slow go to a shopping centre Or somewhere were free Wifi is a bit quicker than yours. Cheers Brian

  • HT201269 iOS 7 update not working on iPhone 4 "update not available" and iPad 2 " iOS 6.1.3 up to date" please help.

    Please advise

    Supposedly the rollout starts at 12:01 am ET.
    Apple will be "pulsing" the release of iOS 7 to users in staggered waves according to their time zone. Thus evenly distributing the server load and ensuring that everyone that wants it can get it in a reasonable amount of time.

  • Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5?

    Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5? What can I do to make it work again?

    It should. It will only respond if there's something on the card for it to respond to, so do you have pics on the card?
    And if it's messing up; try giving the iPad a restart. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see hte red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. That can clear up any glitches on the device itself.

  • Mac Book Software Update not working, iTune will not update because of that, iPhone 4 won't connect to iTunes because iTunes is not updated. Mac v.10.5.8, iTunes v.10.5.2, iPhone4 iOS 6

    Mac Book Software Update not working (Software Update does not have any new software for your computer at this time), my current MacBook version is 10.5.8.
    As a result I can't update iTunes, version 10.5.2  (This software requiers Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later)
    Now when I connect my iPhone 4, version iOS 6 iTunes can't connect to iPhone (The iPhone "XXXXX's iPhone" cannot be used because it requiers iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.)
    so in a nutshell can't use iphone 4, because iTune is not updated and will not  update because Mac Book is not up to date and will not update either.
    Please help.
    Thank you

  • I updated my browser to the last versoin of firefox (31). But I have a problem with mozilla. why tha toolbar of alexa does not work on it?

    Hello...
    I updated my browser to the last versoin of firefox (31). But I have a problem with mozilla. why tha toolbar of alexa does not work on it?

    After a quick search in the addon.mozilla.org page, it looks like that add on is still compatible with version 31. Please try to [[Re-enable add-ons that were disabled when updating Firefox]] or make a back up of the add on folder in the profile folder and reinstall the add on. [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]

  • Why is my apple ID password not working on ipad2 after updating to iOS6?

    Why is my apple ID password not working after upgrading to iOS6?

    Who knows?
    Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Tap your ID and sign out. Reboot your iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Go back to the settings and sign back in again and see of it works now.
    If it doesn't work, post back with some information that might help us help you. Describe what you are doing in some detail and it might let us better understand why this is happening.

    Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
    Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
    Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.

  • Hi the wifi when make update not works good

    hi
    the wifi when make update not working good
    now i cannot turn on wifi the wifi button
    can you help me please ????

    Hello Riham123,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the wifi button is grayed out and you are unable to toggle it.
    I recommend trying the steps in this article:
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
    Verify that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Ensure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
    If your issue is still unresolved, perform a software restore in iTunes.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Exchange mail after iOS 8 upgrade not working

    exchange mail after iOS 8 upgrade not working.
    I can not get email from my exchange account.
    Any suggestion?

    Just had this issue.  I turned WIFI off and it connected fine.  Then turned WIFI back on and working as always.
    It had something to do with the WIFI conflicting with the exchange server.
