Attempted iPhone upgrade to ios4 and caput

I attempted to upgrade to ios 4 for my iPhone 3G and now the screen displays an image of a USB plug with an arrow pointing to itunes. However, when plugged in, I get an message "We could not complete your itunes store request. An unknown error occurred (2096)" Now my phone is virtually useless. Ideas?

Open iTunes. Turn the phone off (not in sleep mode). Push and hold the home button while connecting it to the computer with the usb cable. Release the home button when the iTunes icon appears on the phone. Then restore it.

Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates

HT1386 I have an iPhone 4 running iOS4 and I am unable to back it up to either a PC or a Mac. Any suggestions as to how I can back it up and then transfer everything to my iPhone 4S?

I have an iPhone 4 that I am unable to back up to either a PC or a Mac. It's running iOS4 and has never been backed up. I want to transfer everything to my iPhone 4s, but since I can't back it up, I can't transfer anything. Any ideas?

Why can't you back it up? What are the error messages?

I attempted to upgrade to iOS6 and received an error with a command to restore!? What do I do? I don't want to lose all my apps and details!

Is there anything I can do NOT to lose my apps and info?
This is the last straw! If I lose my apps I say bye bye to Apple!

This is why it said on your phone, before it started to update to ensure you have backed up. There is no way arround the restore. This issue normall comes from the iPhione loosing charge during update or the update being corrupted during the download. The software your iPhone is having right now is inoperable and needsto be reinstalled. You'll be able to redownload all your Apps for free again, should they still be available in the appstore. But all the rest of your data must be on your Computer or iCloud, or you to load them onto your phone again.

IPod in iPhone 3Gmusic doesn't work after upgrade to iOS4

My iPhone is very unstable after upgrade to iOS4 and one major failure is that iPod music doesn't work properly, some song (recently purchased from iTunes) cannot be played even if it is in the list. There are a lot of new space in memory after upgrade, seems songs are removed or compressed in some stupid way.
Spotify is also working like **** after upgrade to iOS4. Also big problems with the phone being slow and hanging in many different kind of modes.
From being a real iPhone fan, I am very disappointed. Maybe Apple think they are immortal now and think they can release any kind of crap and still keep their customers...

IPhone 3GS with iOS4 - voice control does not work any more

Hi - I updated the OS of my iPhone 3GS to iOS4 and everything went well. But ever since I did the update the voice control comes back with strange results when I try to use it. It was working well enough with OS3. Has anybody the same problems and is there a solution?
Thanks,
Klaus

I'm experiencing basically the same as teardrop3d. I'm Australian (with voice settings on English (Australian)) and my 3Gs had at least 90% accuracy with both calls and music requests.
On iOS4 I've had a single correct result out of at least 30 attempts at using it.
Requesting "play playlist <name>" will often either start calling a seemingly random person from my phone book (different each time anyway) or sometimes a seemingly random number (I don't know where the number comes from, it's not in my phone book). Sometimes it'll actually offer to play music, usually a specific artist (not a playlist) and occasionally a playlist (but so far never the right one).
Requesting "call <name> <number type>" has worked once correctly, but usually just tries to call a seemingly random number from my phone book (or a number I don't know, not in my phonebook...).
As teardrop3d notes, the voice control screen stays up for about 2-4 seconds after I finish talking. It doesn't seem to be recording during this time, as the waveform stops responding to my voice but the screen sits there (with words moving past in the background still) as if its waiting for me to keep talking.
I've tried talking in different accents to no avail, and didn't get any better results with a different English language setting on the Voice Control (I'm not sure if that's actually listening for different accents or just responding in a different accent?)
This feature which I used to use multiple times a day to avoid having to take my phone out of my pocket while walking/riding is now useless. I continue to test it each day to see if it ever works, or if there are any behaviours that change it (e.g. locked vs unlocked or with music playing/not playing when I press/hold the mic-button, etc) but so far haven't found any workarounds.

IOS4 and GPS Errors

I live on the Mississippi and for the last week the GPS function on my iPhone 3G - upgraded to iOS4 - and my new iPhone 4 puts my location in Fort Walton Beach, FL instead of Diamondhead, MS. The same error occurs when I'm at work at Stennis Space Center.
Interestingly, my bosses iPhone 3GS that hasn't been upgraded to iOS4, and my iPad, both properly indicate my location. Friends and colleagues with phones upgraded to iOS4 are all in Fort Walton Beach, FL.
What gives? I know the GPS is assisted in determining location by local cell towers, but it seems that iOS4 is not verifying the location using the GPS chip.
This really ***, as all location-aware applications are now hosed.

Quick update for everyone. I got fed up with the no gps issue and ended up going to the apple store. The genius gave me a replacement phone and gps seemed to work fine on the replacement, but the touchscreen had issues. I then returned that replacement and got a second replacement which is having the same GPS inaccuracy as my original phone. This is obviously a software bug with ios4 that apple has yet to address. Frankly I am tired of apples lack of quality control in their recent products and will be looking for an alternative as soon as my contract with AT&T expires. What a shame.

Syncing problem since upgrading to iOS4

I have a 3GS and I recently upgraded to iOS4. I sync my phone to two computers, one at home and one at work, to keep my calendars updated. Since installing iOS4, I've noticed that when I say "merge info" what happens is that the computer wins and erases any calendar events on the iPhone that are not on the computer. In other words, it is NOT merging the info. If I've synced to that same computer most recently then add an iPhone calendar event, that does sync to the computer next time I sync. The problem is only when I switch to the second computer and I have to manually click the calendar sync button.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution?
Thanks.

I also have this problem. It occurred on my iPod Touch only after I "upgraded" to iOS4, and it has always been the case with my new iPhone. Talking to the Genius Bar, they were surprised I was ever able to do this, and had no idea how to make it work, other than subscribing to MobileMe. But I've seen elsewhere in the forums that that might not even work.

IPod Touch WIFI Signal Fluctuates After Upgrading to iOS4

I upgrade to iOS4, and now my iPod Touch 3rd gen's WIFI signal fluctuates now matter how close I am to my Airport. I can be right next to the Airport and the signal will go back and forth from one bar to three bars. Never happened with OS 3.1.3.

For those having Wi-Fi issues... What level of encryption are you using on your routers? And is your router at full power? I'm not really having any Wi-Fi issues, I'm using WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] and I switch my router to full power after I started having the iOS4 batter problem. (it was on "Neighbor Friendly" Mode). I was worried that a weaker signal would contribute even more to the already existing battery drain and I'm figuring that having the encryption on the highest level is also affecting the battery as well, but I haven't tested the difference.
Using WEP + hidden SSID at home (I have some devices that choke on WPA). Open WiFi access with authentication at work. Router signal boosted from 42mW to 70mW using Tomato firmware.
Also, if you're using a Pre-N router, disabling "Neighbor Friendly" mode means you're using a ton of 2.4GHz channels. This prevents any neighbors near your home from using WiFi, because you've stolen all of the available channels. I had to set up my sister-in-law on Wireless-A, because her backyard neighbor hates her, and turned off "Neighbor Friendly" mode on his router. What a pain.

I'm so disappointed after i've update my iPhone 3Gs to iOS4

In the iCloud?? iPhone upgraded to iOS 5, can't find apps, songs,

Okay, just went through the whole cycle of connecting my iPhone to my MBP, running iTunes, backed up iPhone, upgraded OS, etc. and then the iPhone has the new OS, but there's nothing on it, none of the previous apps, music, etc.
Luckily in iTunes on the Mac, I can see the apps are there.
I thought it backed up the music from the iPhone (there was nothing on the Mac), but it only transferred over the Purchased music from the phone. Before all this, the phone had a lot more music. Now that's gone too.
In iCloud on the web, I can see all my contacts and they are on my phone too.
In still another out-of-sync twist, the iPhone has all the photos and videos that were originally on it in the camera roll.
I feel like it's just one thing missing in setting up or something, but I'm not figuring it out...yet.

Sold 4GB iphone upgrading to 8GB Some questions?

Sold 4GB iphone upgrading to 8GB and was wondering what troubles if any i might run into?
Once i recieve the 8gb model can i just switch sim cards? that way my 8gb will have evrything my 4gb had on it and the person i am selling it too will have a sim card that hasn't been activated ?
Anyone know of any problems i might have? maybe having to restart my 2 year contract with at&t for some reason?
Any help would be great
Thanks

Good question.
I believe that your SIM card should be interchangeable between your old 4GB iPhone and your new 8GB iPhone. Of course, if you take your SIM out of the old 4G what will the buyer of your 4G use for a SIM card to get started - are you planning to give him the non-registered SIM from the 8G that you get?
If not, how do you expect him to get a SIM card unless you expect him to have to buy one from AT&T?
I think that if the old SIM works, there should be no need to restart your two (2) year contract but first the old SIM needs to work.
Let us know what happens.

Cannot address WRT54G Ver5 After attempt to upgrade.

I attempted to upgrade the firmware and now I cannot communicate with the router. I just have a blinking power light . Tried the reset and what I can find on the Linksys board. Any Ideas?

You may need to hard code an IP on your PC NIC so you can get communication with the router and try to flash the code again. Try entering say 192.168.1.50 with a 255.255.255.0 mask. Linksys has a tftp utility to do a tftp transfer of the code to the router. You can get that from their ftp site in the network directory. If you can't communicate with the unit it is probably partly because the router's DHCP server cannot function in the state it is in. It may be able to communicate on its default IP address of 192.168.1.1 but can't serve up an IP for your machine. Your best bet is to get a direct internet connection and get a live chat going with a Linksys engineer. They can help you get the code flashed on the unit again. That is if it is possible to recover it. You can't flash the code with wireless. If you tried to do that then you may have created a problem. You can only flash the code with an ethernet cable connected to the device. After you have the tftp.exe program, a static IP address on your PC and the code image downloaded to your PC you will be ready to try it again.

I have purchased an Iphone 4 in Dubai two years ago. The model number is MC319LL. And unfortunately, I attempted to upgrade it online to a newer version 5.0.1(9A405) but right away my sim card was blocked. I can no longer use the telephone.

Dear Sir:
Two years ago I have purchased an Iphone 4 here in Carrefour Supermarket, Dubai UAE. The model number is MC319LL. Unfortunately last November 2011, I attempted to upgrade the OS to 5.0.1 but rightaway, my sim card(Etisalat UAE service provider) was blocked. As a result, I can no longer use the telephone function. I just found out recently that this model number .i.e.MC319LL is to be used for AT&T. My question is, how can I restore my unit to work as a celphone? And why is it that when I upgraded it, it was blocked. Was it illegal to sell this phone in the UAE market?
Thanks a lot.

You purchased a "hacked" iPhone(hacked to unlock it) from a non-official source for iPhones. Unfortunately, that's the risk you take when you purchase from a non-official source. There is no way to get your phone officially unlocked, & all warranty & support has been voided. Sorry, but you don't have any good choices here. Your best bet is to go back to Carrefour Supermarket & get your money back, then purchase an iPhone from an official source. If they won't give you your money back, have them "fix" your phone...they will have to "hack" it again. Good luck.
