HT2188 when attempting to sync iPhone to iTunes, was asked to download new software - iPhone froze - cant turn off, or reset. Any thoughts?

when synching iPhone to iTunes [as usual], message received that new software ready to be downloaded - agreed to that - then iPhone froze with image of cable attaching to iTunes on screen - can't turn iPhone off, can't reset using iTunes - any assistance gratefully received

You should try putting it in DFU Mode (hold both Home and Sleep/Wake buttons and then let go of the Sleep/Wake button after 5-7 seconds) which it should already be in, or keep holding the Home and Sleep/Wake button until you seen a flicker and black screen. The phone will reset and reboot.

  • I tried to sync my iPhone with iTunes, was asked if i wanted to use old phone or new.  I pressed old and lost  recent photos and apps.  what can i do to undo this mess

    An update was requested in my iphone settings to sync my iphone with itunes.  In my attempt to do this, I chose to sync with my old phone and lost all recent photos and apps.  Is there any way to reverse this mess and retrieve what I had?

    So, what i need to is
    1. Check my iphone backup first if avaiable
    2. Do ' restore ' my iphone at itunes
    Is it correct?
    After i do all of this, what is the next step? Is it
    1. Just plug in back my iphone and itunes will automatically sync asking to use a backup ipnone?
    Or need to do manually?
    Make me confuse is, if i do all the step as previous mention, but pc still recognize my iphone as a ipod everytime i plug in into itunes.
    How if i in pc dont have my iphone backup ? Because since first time plug in into itunes, i was used the ipod backup?
    Sorry to ask too much since i really need help from your guys

    Try

    I would start with               
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    New cable and different USB port?

  • Can't find photo's when trying to sync ipad to itunes

    can't find photo's when sycing ipad to itunes

    I also am having problems.  I have the newest ipad (4 and mini both) and also all software is up to date.  My itunes is 11.0.5 which is the most up to date version.  First off my ipad has over 7 GB of photos on it which is taking up too much space.  I want to delete my Photo Library which is apparently all photos off my laptop that got synced to my ipad.  The ipad itself will not allow a delete option in this Photo Library.  Additionally the new version of itunes does NOT have a Photo tab or option to click or otherwise which photos to sync.  It's as if photos through itunes was removed in their new software version.  Anyway...... I can not delete or remove from my ipads the photos that came from my main computer.... the only photos able to be deleted are those that I actually took from my ipad.  This is also true for my husbands iPhone 5....   Please help   Thank you

    I'm an applications developer and also run a part-time videography business. As such, I require more than 3.12GB of RAM. That is the physical limitation of a 32bit system. Pointless to stay on 32bit if you plan on having more than that much RAM.
    I'm also not about to pay someone to fix my PC when I can do it myself. I was originally hoping for someone who had experienced the problem before to point me in the right direction so I didn't have to spend so much time trying to figure out what the issue was for myself.
    Basically, in the end the problem was caused because right at the point in time when I chose to uninstall, and reinstall; Apple released a new version of iTunes. This version in turn had a requirement of iOS 4.2 to sync with the iPhone. This is a pretty embarrassing for Apple that they would release software reliant on other software before said software was released.
    Had I realised I was downloading a newer version at the initial point of installation, this wouldn't have been an issue. I could've easily have rolled back iTunes to the previous version and gotten on with my life.
    Another issue is that iTunes is not actually a 64 bit application. It masquerades as one to allow installation on the 64 bit platform.

  • How do I backup my iphone to a computer when every time I plug it into the computer, it starts syncing it to itunes or trying to download itunes?  How do I back it up and where do I find the backup?

    How do I backup my iphone to a computer when every time I plug it into the computer, it starts syncing it to itunes or trying to download itunes?  How do I back it up and where do I find the backup?

    The backup does not include any itunes content. NO apps, music,etc
    You can transfer itunes purchases from iphone to computer:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You need to copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new computer.

    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    Maybe you should get new friends.
    I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
    If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
    iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
    This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.

  • TS1389 The authorisation prompt keeps defaulting to an old ID (email address) when attempting to sync PC to iPad2

    The authorisation prompt keeps defaulting to an old ID (email address) when attempting to sync PC to iPad2

    You can't chage this.  What's going on is that apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, and all future updates will require you to enter the password associated with this ID, even if you are not currently using this ID for purchases.  The only way to stop the prompt for your older ID would be to delete these apps from your phone and your iTunes library and repurchase them using your current ID.

  • As I downloaded new software upgrade in my iPod nano 7 th gen and also new iTunes upgrade then all data on my iPod got erased and now when I am trying to sync it again then sync button is disabled on the windows screen . Kindly help

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

  • I am getting interference on my Ipod touch on music that I sync from down loaded CDs to ITunes on my PC.  The music is clear when I play it on my PC but has the interference on the Ipod.  This just started recently.  Any thoughts?  Thanks.

    I am getting interference (scratching sound) on my Ipod touch on music that I sync from downloaded CDs to ITunes on my PC. The music is clear when I play it on my PC but has the interference on the Ipod.  This just started recently.  Any thoughts?

    Thank you so much for the reply.  I does not appear to be the headphones because I get the same interference sound from my Ihome radio when I dock by Ipod on it as well as when I connect the Ipod to the radio connection in the car.  I have isolated the issue to the Ipod because these same tunes play without interference on my PC so something is happening in the sync process.
