I just upgraded my ipod software to ios 5, and it first was not recognized by my itunes, then it froze.all i get is a spinning wheel. help!

I just upgraded my ipod software to ios 5, after i upgraded, and restarted my computer, at first my itunes would not recognize my ipod, then i kept unplugging and replugging to try to get my ipod recognized, and my ipod has frozen. all i see now is a spinning wheel. what do i do?

don't ask me why this worked, but it did for me last night.  In iTunes, where your device shows up on the left side, I double clicked on it.  It then allows you to change the name like you can for changing file/folder names.  I changed 1 letter on the name of the ipod and hit enter.  I then right clicked on the new ipod name and chose restore from backup.  My choices for backup was the original name of the ipod only and not the name i had just changed it to.  I told it to go ahead and backup from the old name figuring I would get the same results, but not the case.  It restored it with all app, music and pictures with one exception...all of the settings, email setup and information within the apps was lost.  Atleast that an easier fix than starting all over.  Hope this will work for you guys too with the same issue.

  • I just updated my ipod touch to ios 6 and it is still telling me to update to ios 4.3. Help, I can't download any APS

    I just updated my ipod touch to ios 6 and it is still telling me I need to update to ios 4.3
    Help?

    I've spent most of the last two days trying to restore from back-ups and set up as new and neither worked. iTunes stopped recognizing it AS an iPod at one point so I tried reinstalling iTunes to make sure it was all up to date but it's still doing the same thing. Freezes or disconnects during sync or throws up an error message and 95% of the music that "has" synced is greyed out and not playable. I'm assuming the update has a bug cos these forums are full of problems people are having since the update, I had no issues with anything before this upgrade was installed.

  • I just upgraded my iPhone 4s to iOS 6 but now it isn't compatible with my itunes 10.6 please help?

    I just upgraded my iPhone 4s to iOS 6 but now it isn't compatible with my itunes 10.6. I have tried to download itunes 10.7 however my macbook is only 10.5.8 so I can't. So now I can't connect my iPhone to my itunes, what should I do?

    Hi guyz just fixed mine just now, I used an app named iREB please refer to the below link. Make sure youre iphone is plugged in to your USB then launch the app as admin. As soon as the app is running go to the "Recovery Mode Loop Fixer" tab & hit the "Set Auto-Boot True (Fixes 1015 errors / Recovery Loops). It will restart your iPhone in just a moment & get you back to your homescreen.
    I hope this will help those whos undergoing this horrifying iPhone problem.
    Just additional info.

  • I recently updated my IPhone to IOS 7 and now it will not connect to my iTunes

    I recently updated my IPhone to IOS 7 and now it will not connect to my iTunes.

    You updated you're phone to 7.0.6? Thats impossible since you can only update to the newest OS version Apple released which is currently 7.1.1. Unless you updated before April 22 and just now posting you're question.

  • Just upgraded to iPhone 6 from iPhone 4s and visual voicemail is not there.

    I just upgraded my iPhone 4s to a 6 yesterday. I was testing everything out and noticed that when I select Voicemail it dials out to an automated system istead of having the options to change my greeting, listen to voicemails, delete my voicemails visually on my phone. Is there a reason it is different? Is there a way to get it back? I really like my visual voicemail and I'm hoping there's a way to get it back on my phone.

    Voice mail, including visual voice mail, is a carrier feature.
    Contact your carrier. They need to re-provision the account for VVM.

  • Just upgraded my ipad2 to the iOS 5 and now when I try to use my camera it crashes my iPad

    I upgraded my iPad 2 the other night and after upgrading to iOS 5 every time I try to use my camera my iPad crashes...is anyone else having this problem?  What should I do?

    Hi Jessica,
          First, make sure it is backed up in itunes.
          Next, there should be an option somewhere on itunes to restore it to its original state.  I did that once for the IOS 5 install after the first go round did not work.
          Once its in its original state, upgrade to ios5.  Then restore from Itunes all your stuff.
           That is what I did but I am not an expert on what exactly is where in itunes.

  • I just upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS 7, and whenever I try to open some apps I get this very annoying message: Connect to iTunes to use push notifications! How can I get rid of this? I have tried reset all settings but to no avail!

    How can I fix this?

    I had the same problem as well as problem signing in to both iMessage and Facetime (didn't want to activate my apple id).
    I solved it by...
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer, and the most recent version of iOS installed on your phone.
    Connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable. Click the File menu in iTunes, then select Devices > Back Up, and click on Back Up Now.
    To make sure the backup is complete, open the iTunes Preferences menu and click on the Devices tab. The name of your phone and the time of backup should appear. Once verified, disconnect the phone from your computer.
    Once you’re all backed up, turn on your new phone and complete the setup assistant. When you reach the screen that says Set Up iPhone, choose “Restore from iTunes Backup” and select the backup of your old phone you wish to use.
    Connect your new phone to iTunes, select the backup of your old phone, and click Continue.
    Wait until your phone has been fully restored before you use it. It will restart when ready.
    Keep your phone connected to iTunes to sync any data that wasn’t stored in your backup (like apps, music and video). You can check which data is synced through the syncing tabs in iTunes.
    Once backed up, you will still need to provide passwords for your email and voicemail, along with other synced accounts.
    Took about an hour all in all but managed to keep everything including camera roll and messages etc.

  • I just upgraded my iPod 2 to iOS 8.1.3 and my yahoo email stopped receiving email.

    After upgrading to iOS 8.1.3 my iPad 2 stopped receiving yahoo emails. Rebooted, re-entered yahoo password and deleted email account from iPad and reconnected to the account, still broken?

    Hi ..
    Tap Settings > Safari then tap to Clear History and Website Data
    Then reset the iPad.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Open Safari and see if that makes a difference.

  • I upgraded my iPod Touch to iOS 7 and now I'm having issues?

    I have the latest generation iPod touch and I upgraded to iOS 7. It installed fine but since installing a bunch of my music disappeared and when I select a song to play it will skip the song I selected, move on to a new song, and delete that song off my iPod completely. Furthermore, when I try to sync the iPod with iTunes (yes I have the latest iTunes as well), my iPod won't sync, it just sits on "Step 6 of 6, waiting for changes to be applied" for hours. This is all extremely frustrating as the only thing I use my iPod for is listening to music. Is there any way to resolve any of this?

    Maybe:
    "Waiting for changes to be applied": Apple Support Communities
    Next
    - 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.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             

  • I just upgraded my iphone 4 to ios 6 and its running really slowly now. Please help

    Also my proximity sensor has stopped functioning. Any idea what could be the problem?

    Perhaps you should check. Then maybe you should follow standard troubleshooting protocols before asking for help...
    reboot the phone.
    Restore the phone.
    Restore the phone as a new device.
    If you're having problems with the proximity sensor, remove any case or screen saver you have installed. They can interfere with the sensor.

  • HT1476 upgraded my IPOD 5 to iOS 7.0.2 and will not charge battery. when plugged in gives message "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this IPOD".

    Just Upgraded my IPOD 5 to iOS 7.0.2 and it will not charge the battery anymore.
    When I plug it in, it now gives the message "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this IPOD".
    Anyone else have this issue after they upgraded the iOS system?
    Thanks,

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
