HELP please! iphone not working because of 2.02 update!

So my phone is not working. AT ALL.
It just shows that I need to plug in my iphone cord and then an arrow that points to the iTunes icon. Then I've been doing that, but it prompts me in iTunes that I need to Restore. So I click restore and it says "contacting the iPhone software update server..." for 15 MINUTES now.
I am absolutely furious because I haven't been able to use my phone for 3 hours now and this is taking forever. It came out of nowhere.
I also have a stable internet connection. Is the iTunes store messed up right now? someone help please!

Sorry to hear about your problems...iTunes Store appears to be working properly right now. Did you already have the 2.0.2 update on the iPhone? If so, you should have the backup file in your computer under Users/(your user)/Library/iTunes/iPhoneSoftwareUpdates. If it isn't there, you should be able to download it from the apple site (I think). If not, you can install ANY version of the software by holding down the 'option' key while clicking 'Restore' (not sure which modifier key to hold in Windows)...this will bring you to a dialog box that will let you select a file...navigate to the above mentioned folder and choose the latest software you have. Good luck!!!

  • Help please itunes not working, i have tried everything.

    I have windows vista and everytime i try to open itunes it says itunes is not working and then it shuts down. I deleted it and reinstalled it many times, i have tried repairing it, it doesnt work.
    Here is what i think caused it, i was trying to convert music files to work with windows media player. so i tried installing different codec programs (I deleted the old before i tried a new codec program. I have since deleted them all and figured out a way to convert them but now itunes doesnt work.
    I dont know what to do i would do system restore but i tried it earlier and all the codec programs were stuck in the menu and i couldnt get rid of them so i restored it back.
    Is there something in the registry screwing it up? how do i fix it?

    so i tried installing different codec programs (I deleted the old before i tried a new codec program.
    which codec packs did you try installing? can you recall which versions you installed?

  • Help please - Cursor not working whilst browsing internet

    Hi
    Not long had my Curve 8520 and afraid I'm a bit of a techno dinosaur so please bear with me ! Wonder if someone can help with this.
    Whilst browsing the internet my "cursor" has suddenly stopped working. My "cursor" - the little black arrow - is still there but when hover over a search box for example and "click" my trackball nothing happens, similarly if the little hand symbol appears on a link if I "click" the trackball nothing happens. I've discovered I can press return when the hand appears and it goes to the link, but this is no use when only the arrow appears.
    Any help greatfully received
    Ken
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Its the sort of thing that could possibly be fixed by a battery pull.
    With the BB powered on, remove the battery and keep it out for a couple of minutes. Let us know how you get on.

  • Please help me.ı delete mac os on my harddisk and ı format it ntfs.now ı have a mac os x install dvd but not working.ı think it is not working because of my hard disk format is ntfs.what can ı do?????

    The HD must be partitioned with GUID partition map and Mac OS extended (journalled) file system. Do not partition the drive into two. When you have a working OS X system, use Boot Camp to create the Windows partition and install Windows.
    If you're trying to install Snow Leopard on a Mac that was delivered with Lion installed =
    1. It may not be possible at all depending on the Mac.
    2. If it is possible, it cannot be done with the retail SL disc which is 10.6.3
    3. The only way it can be done is to obtain the original grey discs which would have come with the Mac if it hadn't had Lion installed in the supply chain. They will be at least 10.6.6 and more likely 10.6.7 or .8. You can try to obtain those from Apple Customer Services.

  • New Itunes is not working because my imac is 10.6.8 need help ?

    New Itunes is not working because my imac is 10.6.8 need help ....

    Because you require Lion to run it. You should not have installed it.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later.
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model
                 Identifier 5,1 or later.
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later.
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.

  • My back button does not work because the prior screen does not appear in the history.  I therefore must go back to the blue screen and reload safari.  Apple tech support could not help.  Can anyone else help?

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
    Seriously? It's physically broken!

    I have seen this before. You need to update the apps in your app store, and once they are updated, they will work again.

    Unfortunately, AT&T does not allow installation of non-Market apps on any of its Android phones.
    You can find instructions online for using the "adb" developer tool to install non-Market apps, or you can wait for an upcoming beta release of Firefox which will be distributed through the Android Market, probably within the next month.
