Did the itunes and ios updates and phone wont work.

PLease help.
I did the itunes and ios updates and it came up with something about apple recovery mode.
The phone will not work and its not being recognised in iTunes.
What do I do? I think I may have made it worse because I've tried to reinstall the previous version of itunes as was suggested elsewhere.
Thanks

Any specific error messages?
Try switching off your seurity software and restore the device http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
NB: using that article will erase everything so make sure you have a backup
try restoring on another computer if this fails, and if that doesn't work either, the device needs hardware repair.

  • ITunes and Quicktime wont work

    did the usual upgrades and know iTunes and Quicktime wont work - They wont even launch. Im running 10.3.9 and cant upgrade to 10.4 do to the fact that my Pro tools system is not compatible w/10.4. the upgrade said it would run on 10.3.9 now im dead in te water. I tried to install the early version of both but it wont let me "because it knows I have a newer version on there" QT 7.0.3 and the iTunes upgrade- If uninstalling QT & iTunes & then reinstalling earlier version again will work HOW DO I UNINSTALL THEM ? IF IT WONT WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE.
    SOMEONE PLEASE HELP - I HAVE TO GET THIS SYSTEM UP AGAIN BY TOMMOROW.

    I will tell you how to do it but first promise that you will run Disk Repair (single user mode, install disk, or shift key held down at boot) and then repair permissions before trying to reinstall the packages.
    Also, download the combo installer for 10.3.9 and run it again.
    If none of the above works then you can go to Library/receipts/and the version of itunes and Quicktime that you want to install.
    Drag them to the desktop and try reinstalling the updaters for itunes and Quicktime. It should work.

  • Im installing the itunes and its not ******* working!!!!

    This is so ******* irriating i got locked out of my phone and im trying to fix that by downloading itunes and its not ******* working so fix your god **** software

    You are not addressing Apple here.  The software is not mine.  When you signed up to this forum you no doubt saw that it is a USER forum and we are all users like you.  Now if you can put your ranting aside and ask your question clearly you might get some kind user to volunteer a solution for you

  • The itunes and appstore not working !! (cannot connect to itunes store) help me !!

    My iphone 4 is IOS 5.0.1 and the appstore and the itunes not working !!!

    I Have had the same problem. Updating apps or downloading apps from the App Store has been hit and miss. Also, I have found that iPhoto does not work properly. I have had a spinning wheel on my photos for over a week now. Apple have certainly stuffed this release up.

  • HT201441 Need help here, a friend died and the family of his gave his ipad to us for our kids. I hooked it up to the computer and reset the ipad and it wont work again because it has find my iPad/iphone  .

    Need help here, a friend died from mesothelioma and his family gave his ipad to us for our children. I reset the ipad in iTunes on the computer and it has find my iPhone on it , now the ipad dont start or boot up again. How do I get for that because I am not able to get a hold of him obviously?

    Just had an employee terminated most acrimoniously and had an iPhone 5C that was a brick. Apple support can help remove the lock. Better hold onto your original receipt and record the Serial# !  I do not mean the MEID or IMEI but the Serial# found on the original box or Settings>General>About. In my case no receipt or Serial#.  2 hours on the phone between Apple and Verizon and got what was needed. Submitted form and got reply to allow 2-10 business days.
    Here is the form I had to complete and sent to [email protected]..

    INVOICE/RECEIPT NUMBER:

  • Tried to install ios 7, now phone wont work!?

    I plugged my 4s into the wall and started the ios 7 update. Last I looked it was about half done. My phone must of died during the update, and now it will not turn back on, cant do anything, wont charge, wont turn on, or plug into the computer, only shows empty battery needs charge screen.

    After connecting your iPhone to the computer did you restore using the iTunes on your computer?

  • HT1766 I did the most recent IOS update 7.1.1 and my phone will no longer stay on, other than to show the itunes icon and a picture of the USB cord we use to charge.  Verizon is saying there is nothing that can be done because it is stuck in recovery mode

    The phone is stuck on that screen once it is turned on and then turns itself right back off.  Unfortunately it doesn't appear the phone was backed up on Icloud.  The software update came through on my settings and I performed the update, ever since I have lost over a year and a half of information, pictures etc.  Any ideas at all would be appreciated.

    If you have not set up iCloud backup or backed up using iTunes, all data on the phone was lost once it entered recovery mode.
    Your only option is to restore it and start new.

  • I tried to download ios 6 and then it turned off and now it is saying to go to itunes and it wont work i pluged it in to my laptop

    how do i get back into my ipod after i had it locked up it is saying to go to itunes but its not connecting to my laptap tobl please help.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT204382 i downloaded a movie with .avi and also downloaded the flip4mac and still wont work. what do i do?

    someone help please.  i downloaded a movie and it said it wont play because a plug in was missing.  i downloaded flip4mac and still will not work. please help.

    There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs (there are at least four that I'm aware of, none of which have been ported to Mac OS X) or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime. 
    If you want to try "hit and miss", Perian, which rolls several codecs into one package, might work. If not, you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you. Do not install both Perian and the DiVX/3iVX codecs at the same time. 
    If you just want to play the movie any way you can, you can also give this player a try:

    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart

  • I did the 5.1.1 update over wifi, had update issues, then updated on Itunes no problem, now my phone continues to freeze and restart, any suggestions on how to correct this

    I did the 5.1.1 update over wifi, had update issues, then updated on Itunes no problem, now my phone continues to freeze and restart, any suggestions on how to correct this - thank you

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?

  • I recently did the iOS 7.0.2 update, now I'm unable to purchase apps. "App could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later. ". I have tried a few of the suggestions and nothing has worked. Reset,change auto lock time on main screen, now what??

    This sorted it for me:
    Backup your iPhone to iCloud (I believe backing up to iTunes will work too). Now go to "Settings --> General --> Reset --> Erase All Content and Settings" to completely restore your iPhone to factory settings. Assuming you've backed up to iCloud, you'll be asked when setting up your iPhone if you want to restore from an iCloud backup. Choose that option and once your iPhone has restored itself from your backup, this annoying problem will finally be gone! (was for me anyway).
    To restore from an iTunes backup, connect your iPhone to your computer, load iTunes. Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.
