IPhone :: Update Doesn't Think I'm Using My Primary Computer To Update To 5.1
Jun 18, 2012
I've just upgraded iTunes and am trying to update to iOS5.1.1 and keep getting the message saying the update will delete all the apps etc, to preserve content apply the update on the computer where you sync apps, music etc. The thing is this is the computer where I sync everything, when I plug the phone in it autosyncs just fine.
I have had a S5 for almost a year, and upgraded to lollipop recently - like everyone else. Now I find that I cannot change or update the primary short cuts at the bottom of the screen. I try to drag an icon from a home page, but it will not drop into this area.
I cant update my iPhone on old computer (Windows) version too old. bought new computer and tried to update to iOS 5.1.1 message comes up saying everything will be lost and to update (if I dont want to lose stuff) on "computer where you sync apps, music." (which is my old computer). which I can't!
how do I make the new computer become the primary?
Finally the ICS update has become available for my phone (SI 1253-7151) -PC Companion pops up a message about the new update. If I click "Update", PC Companion starts downloading the update, finishes the download and says "Preparing computer for program updates". Then it proceeds to "Unable to install or start components for update of phone system" and my phone does not get updated.Then I have tried Sony Update Service, but now I can't even start it properly; the program crashes right after opening it. It just says "Synchronizing" and then "An unexpected error has occured. The application will shut down." so I never get any possibility to see why.Again, my phone does not get updated. Since both programs crash there must be a serious problem with the downloaded files (and they're probably shared between the programs?).Apparently I'm not the only one experiencing it; I can see in a Norwegian forum that other people have the same problem - and in the original thread that you have hidden (!).
PS. The original thread was not mine; I just replied to it since I had the exact same problem. Regarding the new "moderation strategy" I believe that the above question is not rude, it's not spam - and reposting the question is necessary when the issue has not been resolved and the original thread has disappeared..
Basically I never get any notification of app updates, not do they update automatically. I have to go into app store regularly, then to updates and thereafter it shows the updates available, and shows the badge on the app store logo (ie red 3 for three new updates).
I've tried logging out of the current apple ID, powering off, on, putting apple ID back, no difference.
Tried turning off automatic updates, powering off, on, putting it back on, no difference (it's currently set in obviously).
Also difficult yo test as each time I need to wait for new updates to be issues to see if it works or not.
My mother in law has a iPhone 4 and has never been synced, so I decided I would update her software for her. In doing so all of the contacts were lost. Her phone has never been synced before using a computer and never been updated, until now. Please help with any information on restoring the contacts if possible.The computer system I am using is windows 7
i have 2 iPhone, an iPhone 4G and 4S.. i already updated my iPhone 4S same as my iPod Touch 4G.But I'm having a hard time updating my iPhone 4G. eversince the new update was released i have updated it yet. It always says "Failed to Update" I use my itunes it's still says failed, I can't even restore it. i have this iPhone 4G for almost a year now. i use wifi connection to update the phone it stills ays failed. Can't restore it thru settings too.. What am I supposed to do?
my iphone 4s will not charge or be recognized when plugged into the computer after the ios 5.1.1 software update why is this? i have used many usb cords also.
i upgraded to ios 5.1 yesterday and now my iphone 4 will not output any video to my tv screen. the problem is that i am using the phone to do some training demos because it was easier than carrying a laptop. is this a bug that will be fixed? the video out worked with netflix, itunes, the video app and Internet up until i updated the ios.
I can't call using my iphone 4s after update to iOS 5.1. However I can call TO my iphone 4s. But it doesn't call to any number. My iphone is factory unlocked. I tried to restore it using itunes, also I turned it off but it's still doesn't call.
After applying the iOS 5.1.1 update to my wife's iPhone 3gs, it no longer works. Trying to do a restore fails with an Error 37. The Apple Store says it's a hardware error. Why would it be a hardware error, when it was working perfectly fine before the update?
I updated to iOS 5.1.1 today, and ever since my iMessages will send, say they're delivered and the display the exclamation point and the delivery failure notification. Now the weird thing is that sometimes the person I send to actually does recieve the imessage, and then I'll still see the delivery failure notification and below it "read at ....". I also use messages beta for os X, and this stopped working altogether.
I have restared messages on mac I have restarted my mac. I have restarted my iPhone. I have restarted the messages app on my iPhone. I have turned iMessages on and off. I have restored my iPhone. I'm really out of moves and getting desperate.
Over the past few weeks, my iPhone 4 has shown the blue update progess bar on one of my folders. When I open the folder, no app is being updated and the bar remains. I've tried turning the phone off but to no avail.
how to fix bluetooth in iPhone 4s after update to IOS 7.1.2? It was working perfectly before the update and now my mac or speakers don't see the phone and vice versa. I've restarted the phone and other devices with no result.Also I've noticed that some phone calls freeze my iPhone and it's not possible to even accept a phone call..!
Ever since I installed the iOS 5.1 update on my iPhone 4, the home button does not work at all! I've tried every trouble shooting solution I could find. I've Restarted, I can't hard reset because the home button doesn't work, I've restored from back up, I've restored as new, I've vacuumed out and gently used a tooth brush in the port below the home button in attempt to remove any dust. I've tried opening a factory installed app such as Maps, Safari, Stocks etc and held the top button until the "Slide to power off" showed and then held down the home button until it went to home screen except it didn't go to the home screen at all the "slide to power off" disappeared after a while. I have extremely intermittent response with the Home Button. If i press it continuously it will work after 27 presses one time or 9 presses another but never when I try to do a hard reset and 9.999 times out of 10 it doesn't work.
I know when you upgrade to iOS4 it updates the carrier file to AT&T 7.0. Being on 7.0 doesn't allow me to input my own Cellular Data Network settings. Is there another IPCC for at&t that will work on iOS4 and allow me to input my own cellular data network settings? Something to like the pictures I've posted.
Recently updated my iPhone 4 to ios 7.1.2. Currently my worst problem: instead of going into sleep mode, the phone turns off completely. I then cannot turn the phone back on with the sleep/wake button. To turn the phone back on, I need to do a hard reboot each time by holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously. I have tried going into settings/general/reset and selecting "reset all".
I would like to have the ability to update the N900 using the computer instead of the N900 "downloading" and installing over the air. It is a big download and takes quite some time. My computer is Windows 7.I have installed PC Suite and have sync functionality but little else from that program. I can't update or backup the N900 using PC Suite.I have installed Ovi Suite and tried using USB and Bluetooth but it says "Ovi Suite" is not compatible with my phone. I can do nothing with Ovi Suite. I might as well uninstall it.How do I update the phone using my computer?
