Won't allow iphone to get a software update

On my iTunes at home, when you have your iPhone connected and you click on the update button it doesn't update the phone but says "This version of iTunes is the current version."
How can I get my iPhone to get an update?

Select the phone in the left column of iTunes, then use the Check for Update button to the right.

    About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.

  • HT1338 i did an update on my macbook air and now i don't see anything only grayish screen , it won't allow my to get into the system plz help!!!!!

    i did an update on my macbook air and now i don't see anything only grayish screen , it won't allow my to get into the system plz help!!!!!

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

    What is the latest update available for Mac OSX 10.5.8 that will allow me to get the latest update for iTunes.  I really need to update my iPhone and CAN'T!!  GRRRR!!!

    Minimally you need Snow Leopard or greater:
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.

  • TS4009 The error that my icloud account is full and need more storage stays on the screen of my Ipad2. It won't allow me to get more, turn it off or do anything on it. Help!!

    The error that my icloud account is full and need more storage stays on the screen of my Ipad2. It won't allow me to get more, turn it off or do anything on it. Help!!

    Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears
    Then do some house cleaning in iCloud (or purchase more storage)
    Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Select a device if more that one > Show All Apps and turn off some apps that you don't need or care to be backed up.
    Also, connect to iTunes and empty your Camera Roll onto your computer. Photos & videos tend to eat up a lot of space.

  • IPhone 4 freezes during software update

    Here we go. I've searched the forum. This problem is known, but there is no single solution that has worked for everyone. So I'll post here and see if I'm wrong.
    iPhone 4 - I do not know the current version of the iOS, but I was upgrading to today's latest.
    Windows Vista
    Latest version of itunes 10.4.1.10
    iTunes updated fine, iPhone backed up fine, software update dowloaded, error occurred during the actual update.
    Now, iphone screen has the usb plug  and itunes logo on it, as if it's telling me to plug the phone in to my MC and fire up itunes. Which I do. And nothing happens.  This happened to me before on the same computer, only with an iPod Gen2. The only solution I even found for that was plugging into a different PC, restoring the ipod, coming back to this PC and restoring the backup, but not installing the software.
    This time I don't even get the message that my device is stuck in restore mode.
    Help anyone? I'm ******.

    Hello curtis84: I tried unsuccessfully for several weeks to locate a fix online for this issue. I've seen may posts for this issue and a lot of complaining about Apple's lack of response with a fix. After trying various times to uninstall software reinstalling software, deleting backups blah blah blah; I decided to do things the "hard" way. I installed ITunes on another one of our computers and backed up my Iphone to that computer. Doing this gives you a warning that only certain portions of the iphone are backed up since I'm using another computer. Another stupid feature of ITunes....Since I use the IPhone on a Windows computer AND all of my contacts, emails are on an MS Outlook account, the only painful part of this was my ITunes Library. Photos and music were backed up on a separate (USB) hard drive and transferred manually. This did wipe out my playlists for my IPhone but at least I can run the software. The back up works the update works and the syncing runs much quicker than before. I realize this isn't an elegant solution but since Apple has not provided a posting for Windows based computers, this is my attempt to help those who need it.
    A little feedback for Apple; not that they seem to be listening but here it goes; I always hear from others how much of a pain Microsoft is due to cross compatibility issues snd their protectinonism; but in all of my years of running numerous computer systems including Apple I have never encountered such a total lack of disregard for customer support as I have with Apple and their OS updates. This includes their computer based and phone based OS. From a business perspective, this specific lack of cross platform support undermines your product and allows competitors to bulld support for their products. Please do the right thing and properly support your loyal customers whether MS or Apple based. The phone rocks. Just support it!
    Best Regards.

  • HT4623 Can I update 3 iPhones with the latest software update that are all on thr same iTunes account?

    I kept all my iPhones after I upgrading to the latest one each time my 2 year contract was up so I have an iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 & iPhone 4S. I actually still use all 3 phones for different purposes. My iphone 3gs is not activated, but I still use it for apps among other things when connected to wifi. My iphone 4 & 4s are both activated with 2 saparete phone numbers, but I have all 3 devices on the same iTunes account. I never noticed this to be a problem until just recently when I was thinking about selling one of my iphones since I'm now due to upgrade again to the iPhone 5.  Well my problem is that when the latest iphone software update came available I noticed that all 3 iPhones had a notification letting me know that there was a new update available & I didn't want to update my iphone 4 & 4S until I had a recent back-up on my pc just incase anything went wrong like once before. Referring to the last time I updated my iphone 4s for some reason right in the middle of the update it lost connection. So I had to restore my entire phone from scratch & because I didn't check to make sure that had a recent back up right before I updated I ended up losing a lot of important information. So anyway since my iphone 3GS I knew had a recent back up & plus it doesn't have a lot of important information stored on it I chose to go ahead & update it first. Then later on when I went to update my other two iPhones I noticed the notification that was there before on all my phones to let me know the update was available was now gone & it would not give me the option to update either of my other two phones. I don't know if this is true or not, but I was later told that Apple will only let you download the free update software on only one device on each iTunes account & since I have all 3 devices on one itunes account I could only choose to update one. I didn't know this beforehand so I used the update on my 3GS which I barely use except to play with on wifi & now my other two iPhones which are the main ones I use are both activated now function very slow & constantly crash. Also if I was to choose to sale one of the iPhones without the latest software update on it does that mean that the new owner will not be able to get the latest update meaning the phone would be out of date without having that latest software installed? If anyone knows how to help me fix this or give some advice I would really appreciate!!

    That's utter non-sense.
    Just connect your 4 & 4S, iTunes running, & hit the "Check for Updates" button, or you can update directly on the phones(if running iOS 5.0 or higher): Settings>General>Software Update.
    iOS 6.1.3 is the current iOS version for both phones.

  • IPhone went bad after software update - iPhone 5 is now stuck on Itunes connect and has vertical lines

    iPhone went bad after software update - iPhone 5 is now stuck on Itunes connect and has vertical lines.
    I found a video on youtube with similar issues - http://youtu.be/Xuuqxx18-bA
    EVERYTHING HAS BEEN TRIED: Restore, Reboot, Recycle, Replacing Cables, etc....
    I don't have Apple Care, what to do? Spend more money and buy a new phone?

    Here is another person who has a problem with the iPhone 5 screen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc1ZPWSA8dc and they have just received them NEW!!!!!
    I myself, two days ago purchased a  2nd hand iPhone 5 that was advertised as having a line of squares at the bottom of the screen. I Googled it and found people saying it was a screen issue and to replace the screen, so I did this and it is still happening with a new screen.
    I am starting to dislike Apple intensely after reading forum posts and watching videos where people are asking for help and telling us about issues that they are having with their phones.
    Why is Apple getting it so wrong with their updates and manufacturing that they are completely destroying iPhones that cost a lot of money and then expecting the owner to purchase another phone unless they are still in warranty.
    Apple you should be going out of your way to put things right for people but instead there is a wall of silence over so many of the issues destroying peoples phones.
    SHAME ON YOU!

  • Restored iPod, can't get january software update

    I had to restore my ipod to make it sync with another computer and now I can't get the software update I freakin bought. I have tried everything under iPod Touch on the support pages. I have everything right and it just won't let me get it. This computer I bought the update on has had the OS reinstalled on it since then.

    I've got the same problem. My touch came w/ 1.1.3. I up'd to 1.1.4, and purchased the January app update when it came out.
    I wanted to wipe my iPod of personal information (going to sell it). I read on here that doing the settings:erase doesn't remove all information (wifi, iTunes purchase). Tried it, verified that post was correct (I could still attach to my encrypted wifi). So I went looking for a total reset instructions.
    Found Apple's webpage on how to do it, and then how to install, verify or reinstall the January update: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1376
    So I factory-reset it, then followed the instructions to reapply the update. It's not working for me. I can sync music, videos, etc to it. I see the correct software version and serial number when I click on it in iTunes. Just no new apps on it.
    I've performed the reset/sync ordeal a few times now. Tried setting it to manual, just to see if that might do the trick. Or toggling to non-manual afterward.
    Still no luck

  • HT4623 I have recently moved from the UAE to UK my ipad bought in UAE does not have facetime feature ... apparently blocked by UAE agreement with APPLE? Now I am in Uk is there anyway to register through APPLE STORE my ipad and get a software update to in

    I had purchased my ipad air in UAE and have now moved to UK. The software version sold in UAE does not have facetime on it. Now I am based in UK and would like to use facebook to keep in touch with friends in Uk and USA is there anyway of registering my ipad with UK APPLE to ensure I get a software update that allows me access to facetime?

    Sorry. No. Part of the agreement was that devices sold in the UAE are never allowed to have facetime (probably to prevent just what you're trying to do.)
    If facetime is a make it or break it, you might sell yours and buy another one, or find some other service to use. Maybe skype would work for you?

  • How to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3g or gPRS on safari with an iphone 4 and latest software updates

    Please can someone help me to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3G or GPRS on safari with an iphone 4GS and latest software updates. I have tried resetting the network and phone settings. I have restored the factory settings on itunes and still the problem persists.

    All iPhones sold in Japan are sold carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked by the carrier. If you unlocked it, it was by unauthorized means (hacked), and support cannot be given to you in this forum.
    Hacked iPhones are subject to countermeasures by Apple, particularly when updating the firmware. It is likely permanently re-locked or permanently disabled.

  • How do we get a software update for realplayer tha...

    How do we get a software update for realplayer that comes with the phone ?  Thanks.

    You wait for a firmware update that includes it.
    S60v5 phones also have a gizmo called "Application update". Sometimes elements in the firmware receive an update that way. For example, there was recently an update to FlashLite 3.1 on the 5800 XpressMusic.
