I "Erased all content and settings" and now my iTunes does not recognize my iPhone when I plug it in. Plus my iPhone is stuck with the apple symbol on it and wont do anything. what did I do? How do I get my phone to work again?    

Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart. Usually takes about 10 seconds time. If still problem. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the Firmware.

    Hi,
    Try placing your iPod in Recovery Mode and restoring it via iTunes:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.

  • Installed (KB905474) and now my iTunes does not recognize my iPod...

    First off KB905474 is a windows update for XP SP2. For me everything worked before it was insatlled, and iTunes stopped recognizing my iPod afterwards. After following the instructions for this situation I still had the problem. So I posed a message on the message boards at Microsoft relating to this bug and their WGA program. (More on that later but it is off topic.) The eventual response I got was "I tried this with my iPod (nano) and did not have a problem, it must be your hardware or iTunes."
    Since I had already removed and installed iTunes 3 or 4 times at this point with the current version to no avail. That and all of my other USB devices are still working.
    Basically I'm here to see if there is anyone else who has run into this specific problem in the last few days. My thought is that the more people I can find an join in my complaint the better chance we all have of getting a fix from someone...
    So how do you know if you are having this problem.
    1) Windows update installed KB905474 within the last few days. No earlier than 6/5. You can find this out by going to Microsoft Update and checking your update history. It will supply your with a list of what was installed, when it was installed and if it was successful.
    2) That date corresponds with the day iTunes stopped recognizing your iPod.
    Additional symptoms are the following:
    a) Your iPod works normally when you try to use it
    b) Your computer takes longer to startup when you connect your iPod before turning it on.
    c) Your iPod will not take a charge from your computer, but you have no problems charging it form another source. (Another computer, additional adaptor, etc.)
    If I get a reasonable response here I'll post the link to my complaint on the MS message board.
    Thanks

    Hi again, The way I solved mine was by going over the specs required and reading the posts, A firewall ls required to run an ipod according to Apple. One of the posts talked about firewall device drivers. Before I went to the trouble of changing firewalls. first I went to mine . which is windows that came with my computer. I nevermess with it. But ipod also required SP2, which I installed(against my better judgement- SP2 has messed up the compatability with other programs before), so my settings could have been adjusted. When I went in to windows security and went to settings. my usbs connections were there but not checked. So I checked everything thaat had a usb connection symbol, It shut down , restarted. I plugged in went to updater, plugged in the ipod and after 10 seconds the screen changed to reconition. I let it wipe my ipod(no data on it). Then I went to itunes , after 15 seconds it put my ipod on itunes, a miracle.
    One way or another a firewall is required to run an ipod on your computer

  • Iphone 4s. Windows 8.1 hp laptop. Itunes does not see my phone when I plug it in or launch itunes. My other computer sees it no problem, Is there compatibility issues with win 8.1 and itunes? Very frustrating...

    Need help getting itunes to recognize my 4s, my older other computers have no issues. I have hp 2000 with windows 8.1..

    That didn't work for me....I have done every concievable action to resolve this....now I am getting pissy......Went through all the suggestions on the support page....I am going absolutely nuts here, uninstall, reinstall, set this default to that....NO ONE KNOWS WHY THIS IS HAPPENING OR IT WOULD BE ADDRESSED ALREADY!!!!!!
    Sitting right next to my new laptop is the old one that started out with XP on it. Has Win7 and itunes fires right up. I called my brother, he doesn't have apple products. He just bought a new laptop and did the 8.1 upgrade and guess what? Itunes still won't recognise my 4S....
    ANY FEEDBACK WOULD BE GREAT. However, keep in mind I have done everything except throw the laptop and the phone.....
    IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT!!!!!!!

  • Stuck with the apple and the scrolling gear while booting

    Hi there
    i am using my mac for more than 2 years , i did not format it or even fix any thing into it but now something bad happend...
    accdentaly my genius friend preesed the power putton for more than 5 seconds to start up the computer and i heared a sound and a the normal flashing light under the track pad and suddenly i was stuck with the apple gray booting screen and the scrooling gear and the computer does not go further .. i left for 2 hours and it still stuck with the same screen ... try to restart do any thing no results also ...
    NOTE: THE BIG PROPLEM IS THAT I PUT A PASSWORD FOR THE FRIMWARE AND I FORGOOT IT SO I CAN NOT USE THE FOLLWOING:
    1-the ability to use the "C" key to start up from an optical disc.
    2-the ability to use the "N" key to start up from a NetBoot server.
    3-the ability to use the "T" key to start up in Target Disk Mode (on computers that offer this feature).
    4-Diagnostic volume of the Install DVD.
    5-mode by pressing the Command-S key combination during startup.
    6- a reset of Parameter RAM (PRAM) by pressing the Command-Option-P-R key combination during startup.
    Requires the password to use the Startup Manager, accessed by pressing the Option key during startup (see below).
    7- Safe mood.
    8-Single mode acsses and the other one i forrgot its name.
    SO I FIGURED THERE IS NO WAY BETER THAN THE PRIVIOUS WAYS TO SOLVE THE PROPLEM
    IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS OR ANY THING SO I CAN FIX THIS THING ?
    Thanks in advance >>>

    I was mistaken about the PMU..with a little more digging I found that Open Firmware password can be removed if you change the amount of memory installed.
    I found this info here: http://archive.macosxlabs.org/documentation/firmwaresecurity/faqs/faqs.html#remove_passwordprotection
    The following is a link from Apple's site to download the user's manual for your iBook:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iBookG4(Mid2005)_UsersGuide.pdf
    It provides the instructions to add or remove memory from the machine. If you do have additional memory installed then you'll be able to remove the memory, and reset the PRAM, that way your password is gone. Hopefully from there we can figure out and fix your startup issue.

  • Previously i set up iphone 5 same user (account) with my brother.. Now i want to set up as my own User... but try to Erase all content n settings and plug in itunes to set up as a new iphone but it's keep sync with my brother phone ... help please ?

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

    Yes ... from your iPhone.
    Hopefully you have them backed up somewhere.

        Sammyhunter lets get you back in action! Has there been any physical/water damage to the device? Try pressing and holding the home and power button together. Once the Apple symbol appears release both buttons. Keep us posted!
