  • IPhone 5 dead after July 2014 update

    MY iPhone 5 is dead after update. Apple has no answers but to sell me a new phone.  Any good advice ?

    After last update battery drained within a few hours, same after recharge.  Apple told me I have a dead battery and would replace same model for $260 (sorry, that is not small change and I live 3 hours from next Apple store).  Therefore had a local cyberstore install a new battery, however it drained just like the original.  Any different advice?  I understand that my options with the Apple store may be over since I let the cyberstore touchy it.
    Yup, since Cyberstore performed unauthorized service on the device, the warranty for your iPhone has been voided, and that even includes the $79 battery replacement option from Apple or the $269 Out of Warranty option from Apple.
    You have a paperweight now.  Sell it for parts to someone that performs unauthorized service, like Cyberstore.  Maybe they'll use it for parts to void another person's iPhone.
    Next time, don't get unauthorized service done on your iPhone.

  • Z3 dead after trying to update

    I tried updating my Z3 this afternoon, downloaded the PC companion and the update. I connected my phone as instructed and it started to update. PC companion came up with a notification that there was no internet connection, although there was as web pages were loading normally. I clicked retry on the pop up box, but to no avail. The PC companion restarted and ever since my phone will load the initial Sony Xperia black page on start up and stop there. 
    The phone won't let me turn it off using just the power button, I need to hold both the power button and volume up to get it to power down. When the Sony screen is showing, PC companion wont detect the phone, saying no phone/tablet connected. When I turn the phone off using the power + vol up buttons, PC companion then recognises the phone, I try to go into phone software update, a screen pops up instructing how to connect, I press ok and the screen doesnt go away, when I press cancel it takes me back to the PC companion selection screen. After a minute of the phone being powered down and still connected to the USB port, the phone turns itself on, displaying the Sony Xperia black start screen and stays there. PC companion then doesn't recognise the phone.  
    Please help, its driving me mad
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    @Bennyfromtheblock, to me it sounds like you connect the phone to early. When you are going to perform a software repair you should not have the phone connected until PC Companion tells you how to connect it.
    Do the following: Force a shutdown of your unit (ON/OFF + volume up(+) for 5-10 seconds) > Without connecting the phone, press "Start" on Support Zone > Press "Start" on Phone / Tablet Software Update > Now you'll get a message that says "Could not find phone / tablet" > In this message you should press the blue clickable link "repair my phone / tablet" > You will now start a step-by-step guide that takes your through the repair and this guide will also tell you when and how to connect the phone.
    @Tanke_MD, do you have an internet connection all the time when you try to repair or update the phone? You need to have an internet connection through the whole update/repair process. If you do, are you using any Proxy or similar for your connection? Or perhaps you have a firewall/antivirus that is blocking PC Companion.

  • Update iTunes and now reuploading all my photos, not just new ones

    It seems like everytime I update iTunes, the first time I sync, it uploads ALL my photos from my phone to my computer.  I've got about 3000 pictures on my phone and 99% of them are already on my computer.  Usually, iTunes only uploads NEW pictures when I sync but after I update to a new version of iTunes, it uploads ALL of them!  How can I fix this issue?

    launch iPhoto wile holding down the option key and select the original library - when you create a new library of course it is empty
    And you seriously need to backup your iPhoto library and purchase and install iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store and download and run the iPhoto library upgraded \then run the new iPhoto - 7.1.5 is not fully compatible with Mavericks
    LN
    PS you also need to update your profile - it states that you have OS X 10.6.8

  • HT1311 How do you get an old apple Id off existing apps. I am trying to update apps but old appleid keeps coming up instead of new one that was added to settings

    How do I remove an old appleid from iPhone. A new one has been updated in destined but when I go to update apps that were installed using old userid still appears. The old I'd is not active and doesn't exist any more so I need to change the id that the apps are associated with.

    Indeed. I changed my ID some time ago, and now have to pay the very minor price of signing back in with the apropriate ID to uodate apps bought with that ID. Not a major problem.

  • How can I actually talk to a real human being who is willing to listen to my issue instead of trying to tell me I need to update all three of my phones or buy new ones?

    I was a perfectly happy verizon customer for the past twenty years or so, including the wireless phone service at my home where I have lived for the past 14 years. Several months ago the service at my home just went to crap. We can no longer use our phones inside our home at all, we have to go outside to make or receive calls and even then they constantly drop. Incoming calls to our phones roll straight to voice mail and the phones never ring. Even when we do go outside to talk, we get one or occasionally two bars, but the signal is mostly one bar or none. We used to get awesome reception for many years.  It is not our phones, my daughter cannot use her verizon phone at our house, my mother cannot use her verizon phone at our house, my sister cannot use her verizon phone at our house (she works for Verizon, Hawaii). I have tried for months now to get past the basic "you need to update your phone software", "you need to go to a store to have your phone checked", and "you need to buy new phones".
    I would like to also add that we live in a rural area with no recent construction or anything else that might cause interference. We do not have any problems with our phones if we drive a mile down the road toward local tower. Something has happened that reduced the service at our home. I am now patiently waiting for my contract to end so that we can move to T-mobile or ATT, both of which which pick up very well in our home, unless someone has a solution to our problem that is not one of the three already mentioned above.

    I understand the importance of ensuring you have reliable service at all times Big_Bubba. Allow us to get to the bottom of your signal concerns. Unfortunately, with any carrier we can not guarantee signal inside a home, building, etc. due to home infrastructure. However, we do offer an accessory that may help boost signal in and around your home. For further information regarding our Network Extender click, http://vz.to/1vV6qON

  • My N73 is dead after a firmware update!

    Hey i just wasted my N73, I was traying to update the firmware, I did not make a back up of the cellphone, everything was ok until NSU gave me a message (sorry for my english).. something like:
    1. Extract the battery
    2. Insert the battery and connect the charger
    3. Turn it on
    And I just tought... what the hell!. I followed that steps but it didn't work. I think its my fault, beacuse I didn't restarted my pc after I installed NSU and i didn't put the cellphone in "general" mode (or something like that).
    So what can I do? the cellphone is DEAD.

    Yes you should have rebooted your computer as advised by the program. Also even if the procedure had been successful you would still have lost all of your data from the phones memory, that is why it tells you to back up.
    First remove the battery for 5 minutes, reconnect the battery, connect it to your pc and run the updater again. Leave it for a few minutes and it should go into recovery mode (try this several times).
    If not disconnect it and try a hard reset.
    Hard reset:
    1. Switch off the phone.
    2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
    3. While holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on the phone.
    4. Release when the phone shows the nokia logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
    If that fails to fix it try the advice offered in this post by drummer27:
    /discussions/board/message?board.id=swupdate&messa​ge.id=14152#M14152
    If that still fails then the last option is to take the phone to a nokia care point.

  • My Z10 is dead after latest OS update

    Hi,
    I bought my Z10 in June 2013 at Reliance Digital Shop of Gurgaon and it was working fine after i switched using BB Link but 3 days ago I updated the OS with latest offering and then first my password keeper stop working and then from yesterday it stalled with BB logo on screen, i found no solution but only to reload the OS and I did it. Again the password keeper stoped working and asking the password again and again>> today again it stalled with BB logo and I tried to reload the OS again but this time it shows an error message and my Z10 is dead no responses at all.
    Please help if at all anything is there the fun part is I am in Japan now and I have to send this stupid phone to India by EMS to get the warranty offer if anything they offer.
    This will be my last BB unfortunately and what I guess even 1 billion US$ can't save RIM.
    Ciao

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    That is the first I've heard of this issue. You may need to reload the OS. Instructions are in the link below. However, you should probably give your carrier a call and ask to be escalated to BlackBerry Technical Support.

  • Ipad3 dead after attempting to update to iOS6

    I have a problem updating the Ipad3 with the iOS6. I was using the Ipad on Wednesday when it just froze and stopped working. After a few minutes, the screen showed a USB cable and the iTunes logo, figured it meant to plug it into iTunes, so i did. After starting iTunes there were two messages: the first one said i need to update iTunes, so i did. The second one said that the Ipad was in recovery mode and that i needed to update the software and then restore, so i did.
    I went through the whole process of downloading the iOS6 and the extracting the software to update the ipad. At the end, there is a message saying that the restore is complete and i just need to wait aithout disconecting the ipad. have waited for over 40 minutes and takes me to the same place, over and over again.
    A message on the screen saying: Your Ipad has been restored to facotry settings and is restarting. I wait, till the message goes away and then another message: iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. This makes me have to start the whole process over and over again. Have done the same process 4 times with the same result. The Ipad does not turn on, it is completely dead.
    Please advise.

    Did you try resetting your iPad?
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake + Home buttons, until the Apple logo appears.
    Does the battery contain sufficient charge?
    Also make sure there is no security software blocking things:

    someone can tell us what's happened? i'm not newbie about this procedures of bios update ...without any problem.

  • Microphone dead after iOS 5 Update

    My internal iPad 2 microphone is no longer working after the iOS 5 update. Persons on FaceTime can't here me, or extremely low level at best. Same when I record Video. No or extremely low level Audio, definitely not understandable. The headset microphone works fine. Any ideas?

    Got a replacement--works perfect. Apple Store was awesome; was in and out in less than fifteen minutes (just be sure to set an appointment before going in). I used my Klipsch headphones with the iPad2 right before the issue. Then I noticed if I tried recording with the headphones in, the recording would actually work intermittently. Not sure if it is the headphones or the OS update that caused the issue, because I did the update and used the headphones at roughly the same time. Anyone else using headphones that is having this issue?
    Either way, just go grab a replacement. Painless. Thanks Apple!

  • ARD Dead after OS X update to 10.4.10

    Hello all,
    I am hoping this has been resolved and someone knows how I can fix it. I connect to 6 different XServes via ARDC (3 PPC and 3 Intel). This has worked perfect for years. I just updated one of my brand new Intels to 10.4.10 and after it rebooted, I can connect via ARDC, login to my root account but as soon as the desktop shows, the desktop is all messed up with lines going through it - kind of like looking at an old UHF television that is not in tune.
    Has anyone else experienced this after updating the OS and if so, how do we fix it?
    thanks in advance

    I am closing this as someone else just posted the same problem. If you know how to fix this problem, please post here:
