HT1766 My iPhone 4S has been wiped after downloading ios 6 and won't restore back-up

I tried downloading ios 6 today and once it got to the end of the installation it said an error had occurred then next thing I know my phone (4S) is restoring itself to factory settings and now my backup will not install on it. Help please?

Hi Paulski54,
Siri can definitely be turned off. I found the instructions here:
iPhone User Guide for iOS 6.1
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Page 39 says this:
Setting options for Siri
Turn Siri on or off: Go to Settings > General > Siri.
Note: Turning Siri off resets Siri, and Siri forgets what it’s learned about your voice.
I hope this helps!

Macbook pro has been wiped after an update and the majority of the contents has been lost, is there anything I can do to recover it?

I updated my laptop and now the majority of my contents seem to have been wiped. Is there anything I can do to recover them? My backup was connected at the time so it has already backed-up to the computer's present state. Most photos/ Itunes/ Mail... has been lost. I have some stuff but only up until January 2013.

If all your files are missing
You may have logged in as a different user, such as Guest. Open the Users & Groups pane in System Preferences. Your name should be at the top of the user list, under Current User. See also this support article.
If files are missing from one folder
Change the Finder view mode; for example, from icon view to list view, or vice versa.
If files are present, but seem outdated
You may have started up from a different volume (disk.) Open the Startup Disk preference pane and check the selection.

Hi there my iPhone 4 has started to turn itself off and won't turn back on until it's charging

As the title states.
Suddenly my I phone 4 has decided it just wants to turn off and only comes back on occasionally. It is fully charged but says its empty, but not all the time. When it's plugged in its ok.
Please help as I have no contact to anyone.
Thanks

You can either have Apple do it at the store, or you can find a repair shop local to you that does it.   If your phone is out of warranty, you'll save money going the local route.
Call up and ask for prices.   I have no idea where you live or what country you're in.
on the iPhone 4, it is VERY easy to change the battery if you have any mechanical skills.   Takes about 10 minutes.   Videos on youtube.

My icloud account is not verifying it says check my mail witch I have done and I get a message say your iPhone for has been used to set up and Icloud account but still can not use the icloud can anybody help me.

Be sure you are checking the email account that you used to set up the Apple ID you used to create the iCloud account. Also, be sure to check your spam/junk folder as well as your inbox. The email you should receive looks like the image below. When you get it, click the Verify Now link.
If it still isn't there, try going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right look for a link to resend the verification email.

Iphone 4 has no service after replacing screen and updating, phone company says sim is fine. any ideas? thanks

iphone 4 has no service after replacing screen and updating, phone company says sim is fine. any ideas? thanks

We had this happen with a ipad mini, took it back to person who worked on it, after a week with trying to get it working again, he replaced it. I will agree with the other replies take it back to repair place there must be something inside the phone that if you don't do repair excalty right it messes up all phone functions. Also I would give the repair person a time frame to either get it working or replace it.

At the top of my iPhone 5 it has been saying searching for hours and won't go away I have tried cleaning my SIM card but nothing seems to work any advice?

My iPhone has been trying to download iOS 7

My iPhone has been trying to download the new iOS 7 for over 24 hours now but I can't seem to stop it from trying and restart it.

Thank you, something seems to be happening now and it's actually giving me a time remaining! Thank you ;-)

My iPhone 4 has been upgraded to the iOS 6. However, I'm now getting massive dropped calls! I understand this because I have AT

My phone has been dropping calls on a massive scale. If I receive a text or email, my calls drop. I opened my mail to retrieve a msg and my mailbox graphics was gone. Voice activation and music starts on its own without me even touching my phone. Apps can't be installed on wifi or 3G. The echo from my headset is very annoying. I cant adjust my vibration settings because it doesn't vibrate on silent. It hasn't been dropped or wet. This just started last week when I upgraded to ios6!

If a hardware problem, hardware can fail at any time.
What troubleshoot steps have you tried if any such as powering the iPhone off and on, an iPhone reset which is similar to a computer restart, restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup or as a new iPhone or not from the backup?
If no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the iPhone's backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

My iphone 4s has been plugged in all night and will not charge

my iphone 4s will not charge, it has been plugged in all night. i know for a fact it is not a problem with the charger as i have tested it will my brothers phone.
Also when i press the home and power buttons nothing happens? i need help asap my phone has my life on it

When you say the when you "press the home and power buttons nothing happens" do you mean you're pressing and holding them both at the same time? If the apple doesn't appear after about 15 seconds, it's not going to. You can try inspecting the port for debris that might be preventing a charge. However, it sounds as if you may need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store.
If the information on the phone is vital, I'm sure you must have taken the trouble to back it up. When the phone is replaced/repaired, you'll just need to restore the new one from your back up.
Best of luck.

Keychain has been deleted after ipad ios upgrade

I am using an iMac with a 3.2 GHz processor, 4 GB memory, with Mac OS X version 10.7.5. Yesterday, I connected my iPad and did the upgrade. It now appears that all the data in the keychain has been erased. I have tried to enter the apple ID in the icloud preference menu, but it will not take it. The password is still OK, because I can still use to get into icloud over the internet.

At some point, you reset your keychain to default in Keychain Access. That caused your login keychain to be renamed.
Back up all data.
In Keychain Access, delete the login keychain from the keychain list. Choose Delete References when prompted, not Delete References & Files.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Keychains
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return. A folder will open. Rename the file "login.keychain" in that folder to something like "login-old.keychain". Rename the file "login_renamed_1.keychain" to "login.keychain". You can then close the folder.
Back in Keychain Access, select
          File ▹ Add Keychain...
from the menu bar. Add back the file now named "login.keychain". If any of your needed keychain items are missing from it, also add back the file you named "login-old.keychain". I suggest you transfer any needed items from that keychain to the login keychain, then delete it. The transfers are made by drag-and-drop in Keychain Access. You'll need to enter your password for each item transferred.

Iphone 4s fails to restart after installing ios 5.1 & then restoring from backup ?

I have restored My Iphone 4s to Os 5.1 Yesterday ... every thing went fine ..... at the time of restoring it from my previous backup ........ iphone fails to restart ..... it is in continous loop of apple logo and busy icon thereafter .. can anybody help ????

In that case, if everything else has failed, you can restore your iPhone by putting it in to DFU mode.
Follow the steps precisely.
1) Connect your phone to computer. Open iTunes (if it doesn't open automatically).
2) Turn your phone off. Turn off the device by holding down the sleep/power button in the top right corner and Home button at the same time. A red slider will appear. Slide it to the right to turn off the device. Alternatively, keep holding both buttons even after the slider appears and the device will turn off. Let go of the buttons when the device powers down.
3) Put iPhone into DFU mode. Hold down both the top (sleep/wake) and home buttons for exactly 10 seconds, then release the top (sleep/wake) button but keep holding the home button until iTunes displays a message stating that a phone in recovery mode has been discovered. Let go of the Home button.
4) Device screen is Black. If your device's screen is black, you are in DFU Mode. It may appear that the device is turned off, but it's not. If your phone displays anything, you are not in DFU mode.
5) Restore. Press the restore button and allow the phone to complete the restoration data. After it is done, select setup as a new phone. (Preferable)
Restore your backup (optional). Next, you can restore the phone again in the normal fashion (not DFU mode) using the most recent backup rather than setting up as a new phone. However, this may cause the original problem to return in some cases. If the problem returns, follow steps 1-5 again and setup as new. Do not restore from your backup afterwards.
