HT4623 My iPad gave me a message saying I needed to update the 'IOS'? and would let me do anything but click 'update'.  So I did.  Now it is 'stuck' on a screen titled 'Joining Other Network' and it won't give me any other screen or option.

I have tried turning my iPad off and on several times over the past two days since it stopped working.  Also, I have now connected it to my main apple computer, thinking the two would perhaps 'sync', to no avail.  My computer seems to be working fine.  How do I get my iPad to function again?

If you open it to take out the battery from the iPhone then you forfeit all service for whatever reason from Apple in the future.
Have you attempt to connect it to your computer and then restore it from iTunes on your computer?

  • My ipod 4G won't connect to my wifi at home with new router. Says "unable to connect" and won't give me any other options. Have tried resetting network connections. Help.

    My ipod 4G won't connect to my wifi at home with new router. Says "unable to connect" and won't give me any other options. Have tried resetting network connections. I don't want to lose anything. I have tried turning everything off and back on again. Desktop and laptop are working fine. Sometimes it turns on suddenly and I can use it for like 20 mins but then shuts off again. Same thing is happening with my dad's iphone, Help.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Hello m.goo, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    To eject the Disc, hold the Mouse button down, (or what passes for it on a Laptop), while powering up, if you also hold the Option key down at the same time it should eject & give you a chance to insert your install disc & wait for it to shw as a Boot option.
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Tiger Mac OS X Install disc , then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, *you must select your language first.)*
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.

  • When connected to itunes, my iphone 4 shows up as a device. GREAT - but it won't give me any other option than to restore it from older back ups saved. I went to a Genius and there's nothing wrong with the phone itself so it HAS to be my itunes. Ideas?

    My iTunes is up to date and i have print screens to show you what I'm on about if it's unclear:
    http://i40.tinypic.com/mku9lw.jpg
    http://i41.tinypic.com/25h1gs1.jpg
    The genius said he'd not come accross this before but i'm pretty sure everything is up to date on my pc (well...it's a vista so as up to date as it can be)
    PLEASEEE HELLP MEEE

    one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file.  Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing  even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
    This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer.   Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar.     Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
    Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
    Ideas?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Are you putting in the address where the bank sends the monthly statement?
    Apple's servers are very picky about the format of the address. If you live in the USA, then the server is expecting the style that the US Postal Service uses. One way to do this is to use the USPS ZIP Code lookup service;
    https://tools.usps.com/go/ZipLookupAction!input.action
    Enter the address to look up the ZIP code and then copy the exact USPS output into your iTunes account information.

  • HT4623 can' t sync ipad to pc/ error message says ipad needs to be updated to itunes 11.1/ its new / i just downloaded iso7

    i can't sync ipad to pc/ error message says i need to update to itunes 11.1....i have tried can't seem to/ ipad is 3 months old has iso 7.2 its as updated as know how to update

    Do as it says. In order for iOS 7 to PC sync to work right, you need to have iTunes v11.1.1 on the PC.
    So download it ON THE PC and update:

  • IPad 3 and iPhone 4S won't synch with iTunes on Mac book pro. Error message says I need to have version 10.6.3 pr later for iTunes.

    iPad 3 and iPhone 4S won't synch with iTunes on Mac book pro. Error message says I need to have version 10.6.3 or later  for iTunes.  Mac iOS version 10.5.8 and iTunes on Mac is 10.6.1. iPad and iPhone version is 6.0(10A403). When I check for updates on the Mac book pro it says software versions are up to date.
    When I check for iTunes version  10.6.3 it looks like it is for snow leopard operating system which I am not on. How to I get my devices to sync with computer. Everything worked prior to iOS 6 upgrade on remote devices.

    I'm having the same problem.
    iPhone 4s won't sync with my Macbook Pro.
    I iust updated the iPhone to iOS6 (thought it wasn't syncing before the update either).
    Macbook Pro running Mac OS 10.5.8
    iTunes 10.6.3 (i.e. latest update - which hasn't had an issues apart from syncing).
    I tried 3 different USB sync cables. Still not syncing.
    Do I really have to update my Mac OS to 10.6.8 in order to sync my phone ? I thought as long as you have iTunes 10.6.3 you're ok...
    Is there a way to update to Mac OS 10.6.8 (or later) without wiping the hard drive and doing a new install?..
    thanks
