That would be helpful. Trying one last time, then going to try and reinstall 4.0.1

Just deleted all updates and reinstalled itunes 10, re-downloading 4.1 lets see what happens.

Right here's what worked for me: unplug iPhone, delete update from user>library>iTunes>iPhone updates, reinstall iTunes, restore iPhone. All worked

Anyways i managed to get it by going to my windows 7 machine and loading up itunes and restoring it.

Than i plugged it back into my mac to reload all the old settings/stuff

got an answer from Darrel, this seems to work..

Hi,

It's easy, but kind of annoying. First, unplug your frozen iPhone. Then, navigate to (Your User Name Directory)>Library>iTunes>iPhone Software Updates and delete the .ipsw that's there.

Now, reinstall iTunes by downloading it again from Apple's site and running the installer. Now, plug the phone back in and Restore when prompted. Should re-download the update and everything will go smoothly.

I'm really hoping this doesn't happen with every update, but my phone doesn't have any other problems. Are you using an iPhone 4?

Cheers,

Darrell
