    Connect device to computer. Open iTunes. Select your iPhone under the Devices heading then click on the Summary tab in iTunes' main window. Click on the Update Software button.

  • Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. Any suggestions please?

    Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. I DO NOT have any back ups on itunes. Is there anyway to get out of recovery mode without restoring or recover data after a restore?
    Or any other suggestions please? Thanks

    As pdroth said, you should have gotten a backup made when you started the update of iOS. If you cannot find a backup, and the phone is in recovery mode, there are no futher suggestions to make. To get the phone working again you have to restore. You cannot force a backup at this time since it is already in recovery mode. It will not allow anything else but a restore at this point.

  • I recently started to have this problem, I can view videos on youtube without any problems, but if I put a link lets say on FB, I cant view the video

    I recently started to have this problem, I can view videos on youtube without any problems, but if I put a link lets say on FB, I cant view the video I can only hear the sound, its like, there even the buttons, only invisible, yet still clickable, so if I manage to find and click the full-screen button the video switch to full-screen and I can view it. this is really annoying as I cant see flash animations and some videos at all.

    You need to find out what type of video it is.  What your describing is what you get when a Video codec (software that allows you to "see" the video) is missing, damaged, or too old for the movie.
    Once you identify what kind of movie it is, then you can update the codec.

  • HT4623 unable to install ios7.04 to ipad. I had no problem installing it to iphone 5c. Never had any problem before. installing any of the IOS 7 updates, just the IOS7 04

    I am having a problem installing IOS 7. 04 to IPad. I had no problem installing it on my iphone 5c. I have didn't have a problem with any of the other installs. I wonder if anyone else is having a problem.

    Thank you very much for your quick response. It took two tries, but it worked, it through me a curve, it directed me to plug in to my computer and go to iTunes, so that is how I did it. I am not very iPad savvy, so for me , it was a challenge . It also brought the iPad back to original set up. Had to set up all apps again. Oh we'll, I appreciate your help. Thanks again.

  • Sound Problem After Installing iOS 8.1

    Hello, after updating my iPad to iOS8.1 it started making weird noises, kind of the same ones you get while blocking it or getting a notification but with a little of a "robotic" twist. Restoring it seemed to had fix it until I tried to get the 8.1 again. I was just wondering if someone its having the same issue, and if so, whats the solution. Do you think that i'll be treated on the 8.2 version? I had the same problem with my iphone 4 once and couldnt get it sorted out.

    I successfully got my iPhone 6 messages sound by following Timothy Holt directions.
    Thanks Tim.

    What you have to do, and this appears to be essential after you update the OS, is to reboot your phone.
    1. Hold down the sleep/wake button and home button simultaneously.
    2. Let go when the Apple logo appears and the iPhone is booting up.

  • Any problems when installing Windows 7 SP1?

    Hello everyone,
    I just got myself a MacBook Pro yesterday and today I just installed Windows 7 Ultimate via Boot Camp.
    I want to update it to Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and was wondering if there were any problems with doing that.
    For example, driver issues or errors?
    I don't use any HFS software or anything, if that matters.
    Anyway, it's my first time posting here and I hope to get some answers.
    Thanks in advance!
    Cheers.

    Hi,
    I installed Windows 7 Home Premium on my Macbook Pro (Early 2011) using Boot Camp and then updated to SP1 and there seems to be no issues with it so far. Just make sure you set the start up disk to the Boot Camp partition so when the Mac restarts for the update it boots back into Windows, you can change it back when Windows says that the SP installed correctly.

  • Problems after installing ios 6

    I recently downloaded and installed IOS 6. There are several issues as follows:
    a) Adjustments is frozen. I got here in order to synchonize my Facebook ID and it is now frozen.
    b) Apps are not being updated. I have now 8 Apps that are supposedly being updated for several days.

    I Have been having issues as well.
    1) I get page errors in Safari constantly and the pages have to reload.  This is in pretty much everythimg  I open.  Facebook, Yahoo, NY Times, CNN, etc.
    2) when trying to go from month view to day view in iCal, it kicks me out of the calendar.  Now I contacted support on this, and after two hours got it fixed, with consequences.  The app that had all of my passwords and login information was obliterated.  Imgot a "Sorry about that" from the incompetent support person.  Thank goodness I have a hard copy. 
    3) usually when I upgrade, most apps are kept in tact as far as remember me or keep open so I don't have to enter passwords on them everytime (think Starbucks type apps).  Now I have to enter passcodes every time. 
    WHat has happened to Apple putting out a quality product?  I remember when the big joke about Microsoft was if it dont work, reboot!  Now Apple is following along that path.  The reason I switched and was willing to pay more was for the quality control and quality of the product.  I am finding myself less inclined to do so.  It seems every day there is a new issue.  Very disappointed with the new upgrade.  It is crappy!

  • IOS update via iTunes vs via WiFi

    Just for my curiosity.  What is the difference between updating the iOS with iTunes vs WiFi?
    the reason why I am asking this because I read somewhere that sometime users have issue after the update their iOS over WiFi.  Same user that update to the same iOS via iTunes does not have the same issue.  I am talking about Battery Life, or Wifi Problem, or BlueTooht Issue, or Software Bug.
    It is possibile that there is a minimum differece in software when the updated is maded over the WiFi vs iTunes?
    Thank you

    The OTA updates provides a delta update only while iTunes provided the whole build.
    Some users have issues after installing the whole build with iTunes as well. If there is a problem after installing the delta update OTA, restoring the iPhone with iTunes to install the whole build for the update may resolve the problem.
    I have installed all iOS updates OTA since the option became available and I haven't experienced any problems after doing so yet.

  • HT5503 I'm getting a corrupt file when trying to download IOS 6 via iTunes (version 10.7 (21))

  • Installing iOS 4.1 on iPhone 3Gs using iTunes 9.2.1

    I'm trying to instal iOS 4.1 on an iPhone 3Gs using iTunes 9.2.1 with no luck, it seems. When I follow the instructions as per the Apple website I just get a message saying "This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version". Can anyone shed some light on what might be going on here. Also, I cannot update to iTunes 10 as I am running OSX 10.4.11 and I can't upgrade to OSX 10.5 as I've only got a iMac G5. I'm hoping that I am not stuck in a corner with this one.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I can't upgrade to OSX 10.5 as I've only got a iMac G5.
    Someone else can probably assist with the 4.1 installation issue, but you can indeed install Mac OS X 10.5.x on your iMac G5. It's 10.6, Snow Leopard, that requires an Intel-based Mac. Mac OS X 10.5 is getting a bit hard to find, but it's possible that the Apple Store will still have copies if you call them. 10.5 is not on their web site, but they still had copies of 10.4 long after 10.5 was released, so it's worth a try. If not, a dealer may still have copies, or you may be able to find a retail copy of 10.5 from another user who upgraded to Snow Leopard on a site like eBay (caution: make sure you get the retail, black-label, disk, not the system disk that shipped with another model of Mac).
    Regards.
