That message means that you have to restore the iOS software because something went wrong. Follow the instructions here. I hope that you have a backup.

  • My father was prompted to download an 'update' which appeared randomly while on his ipad2. since then the screen shows an itune icon and plug. Access has been restricted ever since. is that a virus? and how can he rectify it?

    No, it is not a virus! Not every unexplained occurrence in life is a virus. Microsoft has a lot to answer for by brainwashing users if its operating systems into thinking anything unusual must be the result of a 'virus'.
    It was most likely the recently released iOS system software update that for whatever reason did not complete.

  • I was downloading the latest update for my ipad and now my ipad has the itunes icon and chord on the front but won't turn on or be found in my itunes or computer?

    I was attempting to download the latest update to my ipad which was to take 2 hours so i left it alone, when I came back my ipad would not turn on, now it has the itunes icon and a plug on the front, what does this mean?  And now it can't be recognized on my computer at all?
    I did a restore but nothing has happened.  How do I get it to come back on?

    You'll have to restore your iPad.  With your iPad still connected to your computer, press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time and your iPad will restore.

    When  I try to update my ipad with the latest software, I get an error message saying that the internet timed out.  What can I do?

    The update file is around 700 megs so if you're on a slow connection it does time out. You can also look into your anti virus software or firewall, it might be blocking the file. Also if you're trying to download it over 3G it won't work. There's a 20 meg cap on all 3G downloads.

  • I just updated to latest Firefox version and now it won't open at all. I even tried to go back to the previous version using Time Machine on my Mac and FF just won't open.

    Hi, JEvansIII.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Try resetting your System Management Controller or SMC then launch iTunes after processing these steps.  If the issue persists, try downloading a fresh copy of iTunes by accessing the second link below.

  • I have itunes 10.5.8 and cannot update it any futher, i just installed iOS 6 on my iphone and now it won't let me sync to my itunes because it says i need the new version...is there anything i can do to avoid upgrading my entire mac os

    i have itunes 10.6.1 and can't update itunes any further because im using mac os 10.5.8...the problem is that i just updated my iphone 4 to the new i OS6 and it won't let me sync to itunes without updating to itunes 10.7....help please??

    Not for free, no.  Well I guess there is.  Don't sync your phone.  We don't, but then we only use it for talking and taking photos which you can transfer using even a pretty old computer.

  • TS3694 I have the latest update on my iPad. when trying to do a restore iTunes is trying to give me the updat I already have.

    I lost my play list, when trying to use Home Sharing, So I turned Home Sharing off and sync over WI-Fi off, and tried to sync my original play lists back. That did not work. So I decided to do a restore (I need to clean up anyway) I have the latest update for my iPad, but iTunes keeps trying to update my iPad and its taking up to 20 hours to do it, then it fails. This is very irritating seeing as I work with these products everyday as I am IT support for my company. I have tried different cables both USB and Ethernet and WI-Fi. I have tried each one of my computers that are authorized; laptop, mac book pro, and my PC. Please give me a solution.

    I just updated to ios 7 but now facebook won't open on my phone.   There is a blue dot beside the Facebook icon on my phone.  Suggestions?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    i have just downloaded the latest update for Pages on my iPad and now it can no longer open up documents in iCloud and then just shuts down. What The.

    Before the reset quit Pages like this:
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.

  • I have an iPad 1 and after I got the latest update for keynote and Now  it crashes every time I try to open it

    I have an iPad 1 and after I got the latest update for keynote and Now  it crashes every time I try to open it

    Do you have iOS 5.1.1 on your original iPad? If not update the iOS.
    You might also try quitting the app and then reset the pad.
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Still no joy? Delete the Keynote app, reset the iPad and then reinstall Keynote. You will not have to pay for downloading it again.

    If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

  • Help - I downloaded the latest update for my ipod, but instead it seems to have completely wiped it!

    Can someone please help me - I have downloaded the latest update for my ipod to try to get it to work with iCloud, to back everything up, but instead it seems to have wiped everything and restored my ipod to its factory settings and now when I try to sync it, it says 'Sync in Progress', but then doesn't do anything.
    When I got my ipod I installed loads of music from CD's, other mp3's etc on to my computer and downloaded it to the ipod. However over the past year I have bought all my music and apps straight from the ipod instead of the computer as I bought a new computer and every time I plugged my ipod in to it, it said that it would download content from the computer, which I didn't want to do as there was no music installed on the computer and I didn't want to lose anything. I had also previously read that you couldn't upload music from an ipod to a computer for some reason.
    However, I then heard about the new iCloud where it automatically updates your purchases to all your Apple devices. So when I looked up how to get iCloud it said I needed to install the new ios5 to get an account. I then plugged my ipod in to my computer and tranfered all my purchases to my computer. Once this was complete I clicked on 'update ipod' where it said it would update it from version 3.something to version 4.something, so I left it to it, but when I came back to find it was complete, I looked on my ipod and there was nothing there -no music, no apps, nothing except what was there when I first bought it.
    I tried to re-sync it to at least get back the 300-odd songs I'd purchased that are on my new computer, but every time I do it, it displays 'Sync in Progress', but then stops and it hasn't done anything. The ipod itself is working fine and I have no problems with my computer, so I can only assume itunes is causing the problem.
    Please could someone tell me if there's a way I can restore my ipod and if there's a way I can get back all my music, including the 2000 odd tracks that I had that weren't bought from itunes?
    Thanks in advance.

    Per Rysz' suggestion, configure accordingly:

    Hi Deb,
    Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience so far.
    I am not sure if you already tried this, but in case not, try to update Muse via Creative cloud directly.
    Start creative cloud application manager, if you dont have it, you can download it from here,
    Adobe - Adobe Application Manager : For Windows : Adobe Application Manager
    Login using your adobe id, once you are in, switch to Apps, and you should see the Update for Muse, click Update.
    Let me know if you get any error or warning.
    Thanks.
