  • IPhone4 will not update with iOS5

    I have the iPhone 4 and have been unable to download the iOS5 update. My phone downloads the file but then sits idle and will not complete the installation. I have let it sit overnight and still no luck. Has anyone else had this issue? How do I fix it?

    Hello Rogue-Dave,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to update your iPhone.  I recommend updating using iTunes.  Use the steps in the section titled "Update your device using iTunes" in the following article:

  • Apps will not update since ios5 on 4s

    Existing apps are not updating. Verizon unsuccessful as well. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

    Re-sign in the phone to your iTunes Store account:
    Settings > Store > tap ID > sign out (even if it appears correct) > sign in with correct ID and billing info > restart phone.

  • ITunes 7 does recognize 30gb 5th gen and will not update to 1.2

    Upgraded to iTunes 7, program no longer recognizes 30GB 5th gen. Windows does pick it up. So, I plug it in, explorer window for removeable drive appears, iTunes does not launch. With iTunes open, explorer window opens and there is no effect in iTunes.
    By restarting the Windows iPod service, plugging in the iPod and launching iTunes manually I am able to sync the library. At this point I am prompted to update iPod to software version 1.2. If I choose to, iTunes seems to begin the updating process, but within 10 seconds the iPod becomes safe to disconnect and is effectively ejected from iTunes. The progress bar indicating the software update continues indefinitely (I have let it run for over an hour like this, nothing actually happens.)
    I reverted back to iTunes 6.x and all issues ceased. However I would like to be able to use version 7 and update to the newest iPod software 1.2. I have tried everything else in the "iPod recognized by Windows but not iTunes topic" and nothing seems to get me anywhere.
    There has been no loss of functionality of the iPod, the only issues are with iTunes recognizing it.
    I am kind of at a loss here.

    OK, I've had a similar problem and spent a few weeks banging my head off my desk in frustration. The iTunes 7 "upgrade" effectively made anything connected to my USB 2 ports unrecognized by Windows. After a lot of forum searching, following all relavent Apple help articles and such, I was no further along. I finally got up and running again, but I have to use iTunes 6, which means I cannot upgrade the iPod software. I'm waiting for a few updates down the road before I upgrade again. Be sure to create a system restore point before trying to upgrade again! I can't stress this enough! Anyway, to see the steps I went through to eventually solve my problem (and hopefully yours) go here:

    It's my opinion that with a lot of users, iTunes 7 corrupts the windows registry somehow... C'mon, Apple, fix this buggy piece of crap already! As it stands, the only reason I use it is for my iPod, otherwise I rip, burn, organise, and tag with Musicmatch... no worries so far with that...

  • First Gen. iPad Will Not Update Past 4.2.1

    My boss has a first generation iPad (model MC349LL) and has never updated the software. We are trying, through iTunes to update the software from 4.2.1 to 5.1.1; however, we receive an error message stating "iTunes could not contact the iPad software update server because you are not connected to the Internet. Make sure your Internet connection is active and try again." Our internet connection is active on both computers and the iPad. We have tried to update on five different computers and still receive the same message. Each computer is equipped with iTunes version 11.3.0.54. We have gone through the iPad and reset all settings, network settings, and erased all content and settings. Obviously, he is out of the complimentary "Apple Support" period, we are quite far from the closest Apple store, and upgrading to a more recent model is not an option for him. Any ideas on how to update would be appreciated.

    You should erase the iPod (settings>GeneralReset>Erasase all Content and Settings) or connect to iTunes and restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • Anyone know why my Iphone 4 will not update to the 5.0? It gets to the very end and says network timed out error 3259, Anyone know why my Iphone 4 will not update to the 5.0? It gets to the very end and says network timed out error 3259

    Anyone know how to fix this problem..... I am trying to update and download the latest version for my phone and it gets all the way to the end and says network timed out error 3259 or something. I have tried a so many times and get the same answer. I have restarted the computer, internet, etc. NOTHING. HELP!!!

    Are you doing this over a wireless network.  This happened a long time ago when we had DSL. I got sick of it and went to broadband thru our cable company.
       If you are using  wireles router, use a  cable and connect your computer via the cable to the modem or wireless router if you have a location for the cable upon the wireless router.     I think it is a cat 5 cable that connects the computer to your modem or wireless router. This way you Internet should not time out. 
    I hope this helps you.  It is hard to identify the issue not knowing your Internet connect setup. Some modems and wireless routers have more Port options.

  • My ipod touch will not update to ios5

    Hi I have a Ipod touch 3rd generation 8gb.
    I want to update it to IOS5 but when i click check for updates in Itunes it sais you have 4.2.1.
    I looked at other disscusions and it said they have 2nd generation but im positive I have 3rd before buying it i looked everywhere and got this ipod touch 3rd generation 8gb.  I would pull up my order history but the history is 18 months and  I think i got this a year ago.
    and some people were talking about codes on the back mine is 579c-a1288
    What im saying is can someone clear this up because its confusing. and if i bought a 3rd did they rip me of and give me a 2nd?

    No - you are wrong!
    Do a search of these discussion and also look on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 for the 3rd gen Touch. It came in 32GB and 64GB models ONLY!
    ... and no, I am not mad.

  • My iPod touch 4gen will not update to iOS5... I NEED HELP

    Everytime I go to update my 4g iPod tough, it tells me the network connection was messed with or lost. I check my internet and everything is okay, nothing is wrong with my connection to the internet or the connection between my iTunes and the iPod itself. I have no idea what to do and this is frustrating, because I need to update/restore my iPod, I've never done it before. Also, to get certain apps I need iOS5, HELP!

    Temporarily Disable or turn off your firewall and anti-virus software and try the download again.
