Why wont my white N97 software update?

My software version is V10.0.012, I have been trying to update to the 11.2.012 for 3 days but without success. Can anybody tell me why this is and when I can expect my white unbranded N97 will be updated?
Another question, I answer my calls by pressing the green light/button and end the call by pressing the red light/button. I have read on other threads users sliding the unlock or answer on the screen, I tried this a few times and found it inconsistent, how do most users prefer to answer and end their calls?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks again mouserider, I'll just keep trying every couple of days for the software update. I would have thought Nokia would at least have the common sense to give information regarding phones that can upgrade and those that are due at a later date. Sky TV recently updated software on the HD's and they clearly made it clear that certain serial numbers would be updated first and the rest would be updated in batches. Nokia could have easily given similar information if they chose to.
I'm now wondering if I should have kept the iphone 3gs, my brother loves his ihpone and now he keeps telling me I made a huge mistake in my choice.

You cannot update to iOS 5, it's no longer an available. You can only update to the latsest available iOS for your device. For the iPhone 4 that's iOS 6.0.1. The option you are looking for to update over-the-air requires iOS 5 or later. With iOS 4 you need to use iTunes on a Mac or PC to update the iOS. Follow the instructions on the Support Page you linked from.

Why does my Iphone says software update unavailable??

Why does my Iphone says software update unavailable??

I have a 5 and got the message that the "software update is not available at this time. Try again later". Everyone is jamming the server trying to update at the same time. I'll try later this evening. Scary about the problem people are having after the update. They are saying their phones need to be re-activated. My IPhone is my only phone. Good luck everyone!

How have you tried to update the iPad to iOS 6.1.3 ? The page that you posted from, automatic downloads, isn't for iOS updates, only for content from the store.
If you have iOS 5+ on your iPad then you should have a Settings > General > Software Update option for direct update on the iPad, otherwise you can only update to the current version via your computer's iTunes.
To update via your computer, connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off it to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

N97 software update ready for black not white vers...

is anyone else in the uk amazed that Nokia have released the software update for the N97, but it is only available for the Black not white version of the phone?
I am truly amazed. Its not like they are different phones. . .is it?

I purchased a Nokia n97 in white and after 2 weeks my front screen wouldn't load and I couldn't connect to the internet,the phone I purchased was sim free and cost me 500 pounds,I checked for updates to rectify the problem because after reading on these sites it was a common problem and the update would fix it... Anyway there were no updates so i contacted nokia themselves and i got an email back saying
"We are unable to provide information on the features for future software updates or product releases ahead of time. All available information on our products can be found from the relevant support pages on our website.
Please note that unfortunately there is no information yet as to the release dates for the Nokia Software updater for the model N97 as product releases are country and market dependant."
wasn't the update supposed to ready for the 1st??...
i've since swapped the phone (after some faffing about) for a Nokia n97 in black,I turned the phone on and after 5 minutes I got a message saying important updates available,the firmware 11. was available after 5 minutes of me having the phone,i've not moved its from the same shop an i'm using the same sim,why send an email out saying they don't know when its going to be available,why not just put we've done it for the black we just don't know when its gonna be ready for the white!! so far i've had no problems but its only been a day!!

N97 software update issue

hi all,
i read allot of posts and tried allot of solutions but untill now none worked for me
i use windows 7 ultimatie 64 bit, installed the ovi suite and the nokia software updater.
then why i try to update the device software it says the phone is not connected, when i then reconnect the phone i can press continue but immediatly after that its says its not connected again. even though the ovi store has it still connected and i can browse the phone from the pc aswell.. I tried different usb ports, i tried it on an win xp machine ( with same results ).
Currently my n97 had software version 1.2 i believe, when i use the phone itself to update it says no updates available.. i dont know whats wrong, because other then the update everything works normal.
If i need to post more info pls ask for it
Hope someone can help
Grtz

Hi, don't know if it will help, but try removing all nokia/ovi software from your computer and run Nokia PC cleaner, then re-install, this has worked for me when I've had connectivity problems (but on Vista) Currently have Widows 7 and both NSU and Ovi suite work fine. You can also download drivers from Nokia web site !
Good Luck

N97 Software update client always says "all applic...

Could any one tell me why, since I updated to v 20, my Software update client always says “all applications are up-to-dated”?
It was not important until now with Maps 3.3.
I ma running v20.0.19, RM-505 Language set: Spain (05), unbranded
Thanks

Because all software ARE up to date on your phone. The n97 is not given the map 3.03 update. It will be available for the n97 via a firmware update which has just recently been released. If it is not available for your phone, then your product code must not yet be available for updating.
@chanchan05 - Not sure regarding the map update... I have an N97 (not mini) and when I was checking for latest software updates, I received the map update on 28 Jan.... No official news from Nokia on FW 2.1...

Why two QuickTimes with Apple Software Update in Vista under Boot Camp?

Running Apple software update in BootCamped Vista, I see selection for 1) QuickTime, 2) Safari, 3) iTunes & QuickTime.
Items 1) and 3) are by default checked for download. Why would I want to download QuickTime twice??

Hi!
Funny you should mention that! Same thing happened to me yesterday, I was downloading Boot camp 2.1 and there were the other three downloads you mentioned. I downloaded them anyway. I now have Safari 3.2.1 (etc.) on my Windows partition. Why did I do that ? To be frank I do not know!! Now you have all three on the Windows partition.

N97 software update drama

Every single time I attempt to update my n97 it fails. Nokia Software Updater won't even pick up the phone at all. Ovi Suite detects the phone and detects an update is available gets to the update part of the process and fails calling it a 'connection problem'
current version 12.0.024
trying to get 20.0.019

N93i wont turn on after software update

I bought my n93i from lebanon and i live in canada, during the software update my phone turned off and wouldnt turn on again except for the main LCD screen that only displays nokia...ive tried reflashing the phone but it wont respond to the reflash, i cant send the phone to a nokia care center in canada or in the states what should i do

hi dfar,
try this please
1) Remove the battery, and then wait for about 20 min or so before putting it back
2) Press and hold these three keys together -Green dial key, Star key[*], Three key [3]
3) switch ON the phone.
4) Do not let go the three keys until you see the WELCOME screen displayed and just let it complete the boot process

N97 Software Update Mess up

All,
Firstly, I am in Cape Town South Africa. Software release V12 was recently made available in our country. I checked the software update tool on the mobile, saw it is available and subsequently downloaded and installed the it. Thats when my nightmare started... All functions work on the phone, internet is fine and i can send and receive sms's. My problem however is, I cannot make and receive calls. After countless calls between my Service Provider Vodacom and Nokia, I was told the SP didnt "release" the update for their subscribers, in other words V12 is not compatible with their handsets. Untill such time they Ok this release for their subscribers my instrument cannot be used and I am welcome to bring it in for repairs. Needles to say, had i knew this, i wouldnt have done the software update. Why do they allow the phone to indicate and allow me to download the update? Anything I can do to get this phone to work or do as Nokia SA said, bring it in and have it flashed? And will that option work?
Sorry if this posted before, I searched, hope it makes sense
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Same for me in Cape Town (I live in Pretoria) on holiday... Got the OTA update now I can't make or receive calls. On holiday. Went to Vodacare in Somerset mall they want to send the phone to Jhb. Sim card works in other phone so it's definately the update. GPRS is fine except that I had to redo access points and Nokia maps cannot go "online" so I am limited to what I can search. Voice prompt nav is still fine. Thank you Nokia and Vodacom for this little Christmas present...

HT4623 Why isn't the option "software update" In my general settings on my Ipod 4 generation? I want to update to iOS 5 but cannot.

Why won't my ipod 4 generation update to iOS 5. It doesn't even have the "software update" In my general settings! Please Explain how i can update it. My ipod is 4th generation so it should update shouldn't it? I really want iOS 5 so i can get a new app i need. help!

" It doesn't even have the "software update" In my general settings!"
Becasue this is only a feature in IOS 5. If you do not have ios 5, then you cannot updat from the ipod.
Open itunes, connect ipod. It will prompt you to update.
