attempting to update iphone software via pc. itunes engaged. back up does not appear to have occurred.  device now locked. requesting restore action.  anyway to save photos in this status? or restore after?

it was just the biggest mistake of today, not my life :P
restoration steps i took were:
1. connect the dead phone to another pc with itunes turned on
2. follow the notifications on that itunes
3. restore the phone
4. disconnect the phone after the restoration without clicking any buttons of that itunes
5. connect the phone to my own pc
6. my own pc can recognize the phone and itunes will try to restore the backup of my phone
7. restore from the backup on my pc
8. sync everything (tick all the apps in itunes manually since there is no such button to select all) and reorganize all the apps
9. after ca. 25 min, the phone is back to the previous sw version

    You've connected the iPad via cable to your computer, and your computer's iTunes is up-to-date ? If it's icon isn't showing then try one of these troubleshooting pages :
    PC : iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
    Mac : If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
    If the iPad is disabled then you'll need to reset the iPad back to factory defaults, after which you can restore to your backup

  • I'm attempting to create a pdf from InDesign and the Illustrator image does not appear properly.

    I'm attempting to create a pdf from InDesign and the Illustrator logo does not appear properly. The logo has a light blue color background with a black to white gradiant over it with a multiply designation set at 100%.  I flattened the logo in illustrator before importing into InDesign. When the pdf is created, the blue background of the logo drops out and the only thing showing is the graduated screen of black. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

    Thanks for your reply Peter,
    I'm on Mac OSX (10.5.8) using Acrobat 7 Professional and Acrobat 
    Reader 9 to view the pdf. I created it by exporting. Attached is a 
    screen capture of the letterhead. Since I posted, I sent a test pdf to 
    my partner's computer eventhough it didn't look right on my system and 
    she said it looked fine to her. I've restarted my computer and tried 
    again and still get the same results.
    Thanks for your help,

  • HT204074 I wish to re attach my device to my iTunes account but I do not appear to have the manage devices option - someone please help

    I wish to re attach my device to my iTunes account but I do not appear to have the manage devices option - someone please help

    If you want to add it then you need to do one of the 3 things mentioned on that page e.g. use iTunes Match on your iPad, use automatic downloads on it, or redownload one of your past purchases. I think that the 'manage devices' section will only show when you have one or more devices/computers associated to your account, if you don't have any associated then it won't appear.

  • HT2480 My e-mail, exchange account, on iphone, displays an out of date signature.  My Outlook displays the correct signature but this does not appear to have replicated to my iphone.

    My e-mail, exchange account, on iphone, displays an out of date signature.  My Outlook displays the correct signature but this does not appear to have replicated to my iphone.  The standard signature still says "sent from my iphone" which is fine but I need desperately to change the exchange signature as the office address is incorrect.

    I have already tried that and this doesn't work.  The signature is pulling incorrectly from exchange but I don't know how.

  • I can't update iPhone software - it is telling me that I am not connected to the Internet - I have checked my connection

    Can anyone let me know what to do - I am connected to the Internet but iTunes is telling me there is no connection when I try to update iPhone software? Thanks

    If you are using a Windows based computer, could be security software and or the firewall preventing the update process.

  • IPhone  does not appear in list of devices in iTunes in the cloud

    my iPhone does not appear in the list of devices

    Hi, cdv2007. 
    Here are some helpful troubleshooting steps I would recommend going through when your device is not recognized on a Mac. 
    Note: This article is for Mac OS X users. If you're using a Windows PC, please refer to these troubleshooting suggestions.
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
    Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Restart your Mac.

  • ITunes on Windows 7 does not show iPad2 as a device.

    I want to use iTunes to trasfer contents to iPad. iTunes does not detect iPad while iPad shows in Windows Explorer. Last month it used to work sometimes, and every time after I reinstalled iTunes. 
    I have tried to reinstall iTunes, restart Windows 7 and iPad, and stop other Windows services. iTunes 10.5.2.11 and iOS 5.0.1 are the current versions.
    I made an appointment with Apple Expresslane Support later, but wonder if anyone can help me here.

    It works now following the discussion "My iPad 2 doesn't show up in iTunes" posted by iFart last month ! 
    Using the USB ports on the back of computer (instead of the front ones) works without a problem.

  • Apple TV does not appear as a listed "Device" in iTunes

    I just purchased Apple TV. It is working okay. I have two Macs synced with my Apple TV. One shows a "Device" in iTunes but the other does not. On the second computer, once Apple TV is loaded the device icon goes away. I am unable to access the necessary tabs to sync my photos to Apple TV. I have tried removing Apple TV and rediscovering it but it did not change anything. What am I doing wrong?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussion Forums.
    This is not unfortunately the same issue as the OP (original poster) described. In any case we would need further info about your set up, types of connections, router set up, network set up, how far you get in the set up process, that sort of thing. Your post will attract more interest if it is in a thread of it's own, so perhaps you could start a new thread with the information I suggested.
    Also just to clear up the original matter: Things have now moved on since this thread started and an update has enabled photo streaming. The situation is now this:
    Your main (Primary) itunes (the one with which you sync) will (should) always have the tv in the device list.
    Your secondary itunes(s) (the ones which stream only) will (should) only show the tv in its device list if the library is selected as a source on the tv.

  • ITunes proxy authorisation window does not appear (and account is being blocked randomly)

    Many users have iTunes installed on their PC. iTunes requires proxy authorization to connect to internet. Appropriate popup window appears when opening iTunes and trying to open some internet-based page there. Entering current AD account credentials helps to connect. There is also a checkmark there allowinf to save credentials for further use (and do not show this window anymore). When AD password is changed - this popup window does not appear again and user's account is being blocked (because iTunes tries to connect proxy with old credentials). The question is: is it possible to reset proxy settings, stored somewhere inside iTunes somehow? Just to return proxy authorization window back. Did you have such an experience? If you caould share any knowledge - it would be great.

    What happens if you go to iTunes > File > Devices, do you get the option to Sync iPhone?
    You could try a reinstall of iTunes. OS X Yosemite: Reinstall apps that came with your Mac

  • HT1386 my ipad is not syncing my music correctly from my itunes account via my laptop. The music does not appear, although it shows when you look into summary as grayed out .

    I carried out a recent software update and there after that my itunes music would not sync in the normal way. My music only shows on my ipad when connected and in music summary and this is shown as grayed out with a broken circle icon beside any new music which has been inported to my itunes account via my laptop. In the past when i connected my ipad to my laptop to sync it would ask if i wanted to transfer from ipad or not. This does not happen now at it goes straight into sync mode.

    Hi,
    This sounds so frustrating. If any processing of sound, e.g. through Logic, through Wiretap, or you might try Garageband (which I assume you have tucked away somewhere), produces the problem, then its hard to blame the software of the individual program. This leaves OSX and/or Coreaudio, or a hardware problem. Sorry if you've already reached this stage. This would mean a reinstall of OSX (or an upgrade, if you're thinking of it), or addressing the hardware issue. I know I had some very bizarre things (and repetitive) happen to me with faulty memory, or memory that just wasn't seated properly in its slot. You could start out by running the hardware test and go from there.
    Good Luck,
    Ray

  • I have a problem with my computer recognizing my new iphone when i uninstall itunes and reinstall it does not download properly and bonjour will not load any ideas of what to do

    I have a dell lap top with windows 7 that won't recognize my iphone 5c. The driver's will not install with out a problem, I talked to apple support to try to fix this problem, I unistalled itunes and reinstalled it, now itunes did not download properly, bonjour does not load and i can not burn cds, I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice with the same problem. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great

    You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
    and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

  • Can I update IPhone software via an IPad?

    I'm wondering if it's possible to do software updates for my IPhone via an IPad vs. a computer/laptop?

    No. If you're updating to iOS 5.0, you must do so through iTunes on your computer.
