Won't Update to the new software

My iTunes says that a newer version of software for my iPhone is available and to click "update" to update it. When I click update however I get a message saying that my iTunes is the current version and that's it. No option for new iPhone software
Any suggestions?
TIA!

Uh, yeah... because iTunes is current and you need to update the iPhone software.
With the iPhone connected, click on the device in the left pane.
Then on the Info tab, select Check for Update or Update depending on what is shown.
Selecting "Check for Updates" from the Help menu in iTunes will ONLY check for iTunes updates.

you can sync your contacts and things under your own itunes and your wife can have her own... or both in one as long as you have it synced in the same computer they will be there

my husband kids and i all have our names and then iphone next to it and it creates a different backup for each and then we update and we restore from there it lets you choose which backup you want...

I want to use an old iphone as an itouch and don't have the sim card anymore (cut it to fit into 4G) and I just updated to the new software.... How do I reload the phone with apps and music?

You'll need to get a SIM card. It can be an old one.

Something in your backup may be corrupt. Try wiping it and setting it up as a new device, then sync your apps, data and media back to it from iTunes. DO NOT resotre from your backup. If the problem is contained in the backup, it will bring it right back again if you restore.

HT1222 i want to cancel the updating of the new software ,becouse i don't wan't to lose my files

i want to cancel the updating of the new softwar becouse i don't want to lose my files and i don't have the option to not do that

No, you don't. Once you start it, you can't stop it.
Why do you think you will lose your files? If you've been backing it up and syncing as intended, you should not lose anything.

I have a MacBook Retina, and it won't upgrade to the new software (OSX Maverics). It will begin to download, but then say it can't finish the download. What should i do to fix this problem?

Your problem is really with "Time Machine", backup software included with OS X since version 10.5, not with your Time Capsule router. For more information on Time Machine, check these Web pages:

My phone blacked out, will not turn on, and i did not update to the new software! So what is my Apple iPhones5s problem?

My iPhone blacked out, and will not turn on. I did not update to the new software! So what is my Apple iPhone 5s problem?
A lot of issues with iPhones lately, maybe apple has an issue developing and implementing their inovations.

Hi InUtero,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I can understand your frustration if your iPhone is not turning on as expected. The first thing I would suggest in this situation is a reset. Please use the following article for instructions on how to reset your iPhone. Please be sure to let me know if you need further assistance.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
Have a great day,
Joe

I just updated to the new software and now my app Store is not working It is just a white blank page

I just updated the new software and now my app store will not work I have shut it down and opened up again and nothing just a blank white page ?

I'm having a similar problem.
New iPad with iOS6 just downloaded.
I cannot purchase any new items from the new Apple Store now!
It keeps asking me to fill in CC details, asking for security number, but stays red when i fill in the 3 numerals and when I click done I get a Time Out message.
This is not good Apple!!
Looks as if I will have to use my iPad One to purchase from the Apple Store.

Itunes won't update nano with new software version

Since the new software update has become available (which I'm hoping might fix my multiples in cover flow issue) I've tried on multiple occasions over a few days to download and install the update on my new nano 4th Gen.
It goes through the licence agreement bit and says it's downloading and will instal when it's done. However after a few minutes it gives an error message that the connection with the itunes server has timed out. It says check your connections and such but all is fine, even itunes own diagnostic connection test is all fine.
I've even tried the restore option but that just dies on it's attempt to get new software too and doesn't get anywhere.
I'm pretty good with computers but this one's now got me stumped.
Anyone got any ideas?

Are you using a dial-up or broadband internet connection? If your using a dial-up connection, that might be your problem. If your using a broadband connectin and your getting this problem, you might just want to contact technical support.

The Apple ID has been changed on my iPad but the apps won't update with the new id and password, including the apps that came with the iPad so I can't delete and reinstall with new Apple ID

What do you do if you have bought a used iPad and the apps won't update without the original id and password. Can't delete the apps that come with the iPad and reinstall them so what do I do?

Correct. An app can only be updated under the Apple ID that was used to orginally acquire the app. If that is a problem you can delete the app and download again under the new userid. If you paid for the app you will have to pay again. Your old Apple ID does not go away so there is no reason to not use it to download the apps.
You cannot delete the apps that came with IOS. If you want to "hide" the apps simply put the apps into an application folder by dragging one app onto another. You can do this to all the IOS apps.

Updating to the new software & it stopped mid way

help! i downloaded the new software for my itouch 4thgen and in the middle of the process, the error message appeared saying that it could not be updated. now my itouch just shows the apple logo with a blank status bar. Can't even turn it off. My itunes can't read it as well.

Mine did the same thing just this morning, but mine shows a usb cord and the itunes logo. It is not recognized by the computer or itunes at all.

My iPhone 4 died after updating to the new software

Hi all,
I was just wondering if this had happened to anyone else, two days ago i tried to upgrade my iPhone to the new software, 4.2, and my iPhone literally died on me! Now all that appears on my iPhone's screen is the connect to iTunes sign. When i do connect it, a message comes up saying my iPhone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. Unfortunately though every time I try this the restore fails. I have called apple support and now have to go up to the Apple Store in Sydney and get them to give me a new phone. As i said above i was wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem.
Cheers

I have a new macbook pro running lion and want to update the software on my ipod touch. My old macbook ran 10.4.11 and won't update - but the new computer says I have to update on the computer I normally sync on or my music will be lost. Solution?

I have a new macbook pro running lion and want to update to ios 5 on my ipod touch. My old macbook only has 10.4.11 and can't be updated to lion - and won't update my ipod touch to ios 5. But the message on my new macbook pro says I have to update on the computer I normally use for syncing or my music will be lost. Is there any solution for this?

try exporting your iTunes libary from the old computer to the new one
take a look at this from apple

I am not sure you have home shareing with 10.4.11 but if you do it works very nicely

HT4623 Why won't the original iPad's update to the newer software? Applications like iBook & CTVGo will not upgrade without the iPad upgrading.

Have the original iPad that won't update past 5.1.1. Applications are requiring newer update versions. Why won't my iPad update past this version?

IT's because of the system specifcations are probarly not able to handle the new requirements for the iOS 6+ if you want/need those applications you'll have to purchase a new iPad
