IPHONE software problem.
My Iphone showed no Service so i restored it and backed it up but now won't work, it comes up with a large IPHONE written on the screen and my IMEI and ICCID numbers. When plugged into Itunes all it says is there is a problem with the iphone.
Hey aparsons29,
A restore may very well be what we need here. See the following resource for information on troubleshooting activation issues:

Iphone software problems in itunes!! someone please help me!
For some reason when I go to load the newest iphone software through itunes, it keeps exceeding the download... the new update says its 152.3 MB, but once it reaches that amount, it just keeps on going! 217 + MB and more,, until it stops and times out... why does this happen? or how if that? its only a 152.3 MB download,..how could it possibly keep going? I'm lost and all I want is my WIFI itunes on the iphone..but this update is not working for me and its frustrating..heres a screen shot of what i see.
Apparently that's happened a few times to people, including myself.
If you cancel the download, delete it, and then go back to the Summary page and hit "Check for Updates" it should start again with no problems and finish correctly. -

Missing All Apps in iTunes AND can't update iphone software
APP PROBLEM- just happened today
There are zero apps showing in my app folder all of the sudden. My phone shows that 77 updates are available, and yet, not a single app shows up in the apps folder itself. When I click "check for updates" in the app folder, again nothing.
IPHONE SOFTWARE PROBLEM- been happening for months
When I plug in my phone to update and sync it says I have software version 4.1 and "A newer version of the iphone software is available (v 4.2). Click to update" so I click "update" and then it says "This version of itunes (9.2) is the current version". Well I didn't click update itunes, i clicked update for the iphone software. So I can't update the software. I have a 2nd gen iphone.
The only change that's happened is I think I tried downloading the newest version of itunes and it said my operating system is too old for it. So, itunes 9 opens fine, my music is in there. All of my apps have disappeared and I can't update my iphone software. Please help.Thank you. So, as far as the iphone update, I'm out of luck unless I get a new operating system, right?
Yes, I tried restarting my computer to see if they would reappear. I just checked the library on my hard drive and I can't see any applications there. They are still not coming up in the apps folder in the itunes library either.
Any ideas? -
I cant seem to download and install the latest iphone software update. I have tried since the release and have been unsuccessful on more than 7 occasions and lost all the data on the process. Anyone have that problem an how do I fix this problem?
Hi
Thanks but I have tried doing the above - when I said 7 times I was modest, its more like 15 times.
And I am referring to the 5.1 software update. I dont have wifi so I guess I will have to try that seeing that my husband also has the same problem - he has also tried downloading several times. It always times out en says that the connection is lost but yet there are always an internet connection and a decent signal once it stopped. Think it said error 32052 or something!
I am disappointed because the update includes inprovement on the battery life - did you guys notice any difference? -

Problems downloading Iphone software 2.0.2
I have tried 8 time to download the Iphone software upgrade 2.0.2 and after waiting for 2 hours that is when it does not get a computer crush, I get a stop err=-3259
There has been a problem with the down load. Some type of out of time waiting for the network connection.
I do not know why Itunes is not smart enough if the connection stops, the next time Itunes is started it should continue downloading from the point it stopped. Also an option to pause and resume download should be available so the user does not have to wait the 2 hours straight.
It has been 8 times having the Iphone connected for 2 hours each try with no results.
Please can anybody help me on thisYes you will be able to download 2.0, I have 4GB also. You need to update iTunes first though then you can download 2.0. Do not do it yet though everyone seems to be having problems finishing the installation.

Unable to Retore! Error -48 Problem downloading the iPhone software
I was having trouble with Safari (reseting all the time) and wanted to try restoring my iPhone from scratch.
Each time I select "restore" I watch the download activate and when it's complete, I get the following error:
There was a problem downloading the iPhone software for the iPhone "My Name iPhone". An unknown error occured (-48).
I'm at a loss. Has anyone else seen this or have an answer?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10)Before you 'restore', you may wish to read this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304893
It addresses that error for the ipod. I myself might play around with the time zones first before I try restoring -- are they the same in the mac and the iphone? -- maybe temporarily switch to Pacific and see if the problem goes away.
You can also search for that error by putting it in quotes: "(-48)". You will get hits for the number 48 too.
Normally Macs don't have this issue. It seems as if you are running on USB 2.0 -- it probably should not be going thru a hub.
Hope this helps.

Problem updating iphone software version 4.3.3
Every time I have tried to update the iphone software when prompted by itunes it crashes, sometimes at the end of the update sometimes before. It comes up with an error message every time. Please can someone help?
First thing I'd do is check that I have the latest version of iTunes. This has cought me out a few times. Other thing that I've experienced is a iTunes seems to think there is a problem with my USB socket, so I've tried another and it's worked fine.
But yes what is your error and error number? -

Hello ashharuddin,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iPhone: Troubleshooting No SIM
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4148
Toggle Airplane mode On and Off.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Check for a carrier settings update. Tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, a prompt will appear.
Remove the SIM Card and verify that it is a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it is not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
Restore the iPhone.
Have a nice day,
