iPhone

iPhone & iPad update. Lots of new free stuff including icloud

 

Sounds good wish I could update software on both me and wife both can't update software, the update takes about 2 hours gets to 99% then freezes then pops up with message saying timed out :x I have to drive 40 miles to nearest apple store to get update done

 

How come, can't apple fix it.

 

A notice comes up at 99% saying network conection unsuccessful, aparently its something to do with a fire wall :?: it's a common problem with some comps and laptops they say, me the wife and inlaws all have same problem so take them all up at same time which the misses uses as an excuse to go shopping for the day keeps her quiet

 

Take ur laptop into apple mate. They are dead good at sorting things out.

 

I need my mate to look at it as he's a technology geek and I have the computer skills of an amoeba :| I need to get it sorted as for a free update it costs a fortune in fuel and the wifes shopping

 

i know this might sound stupid but if you have time to trawl round you tube, you might find answers.
if i cant do something i look at you tube. im crap with tech but i jailbroke my ipod and added different programmes.

 

I keep sayin it the more tech you put into summit the more of yourlife time you waste trying to sort it out an make it work.
I see Blackberry took a dump the other day lol.
Just call me Victor Meldrew or Scrooge i hate christmas as well bah humbug.

 

I got the Samsung Galaxy S2 a couple of weeks ago and I'm loving it. Can't compare to anything else though as it's my first smart phone.

 

Thas what I just got I'll give it a couple of months before I sit on it an it snaps in half.

 

And to think Jay I was going to buy you the new iphone 4s for christmas...... :lol:

I'll send you some socks mate

and a pencil & pad :lol:

 

Ha Ha you a very funny man, got plenty of pencils an pads mate could do with some socks though as they're gettin holy now. :lol:

 

It sounds more like a connection problem, out of interest are you all using the same ISP (internet service provider) ?

I run a sideline business in IT and I've seen it a lot lately especially with those using Sky. A simple removal of their useless security bundle usually solves the problem.

 

Yes ou Internet provider is sky and if anyone if thinking about changing to them don't there rubbish

 

Vito I'll try up date later and try and get a pic of the message when it pops up you might be able to help

 

I've seen it dozens of times already mate. If you uninstall the Sky bundle it'll work fine. You can download plenty of free firewall/anti-virus programs, if you need any help just let me know, I spend most evenings doing this kind of thing, beats getting on your knees :lol:

If you go to a mates house with a laptop and connect to his internet it'll go straight through ................ unless he has Sky

 

Ok cheers mate I'll try mates house he's on bt
