HT201210 I have an Iphone 4 that died after the new iOS 7 update.

I have an Iphone 4. It was bought second hand but i've had no problems with it before. Today i updated my phone t the iOS 7. It worked rather unsmoothly for 30 mins, then it froze. I tried restarting it but as soon as it turned off it failed to restart.
I attempted to connect it with itunes but alas, the program asked me to connect by responding on my iPhone; which, of course i could not do.
The only response the phone has is when i plug it into the charger, where it vibrates.
I would appreciate information and your help.
regards, Mae69.

Hey Mae69,
Thanks for the question, I can understand how frustrating that may be. The following article provides some relevant troubleshooting steps:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting

Display has no backlight or dark screen
1. Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
2. Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
3. While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
4. If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I have an iphone 4 that I recently upgraded to IOS 7, and now I cant drag music to it. It says "preparing to update" eternally. Weird thing is... I have an iphone 3s that is IOS 6, and it takes new music all day. arg.

I have tried direct connecting the iphone 4, via wifi, everything. I hate itunes with a passion, but it seems to be a necessary evil. I dont know why I would have no trouble with my iphone 3. I am using the same technique for both phones. Find the music I want in the library and drag it to the iphone. Works on IOS 6, not IOS 7.
WHat else should I try?

Hi jeffmbellucci,
If you are having issues dragging music to your iPhone 4 after a recent upgrade to iOS 7, you may want to verify that the phone is still set to "Manually manage music and videos." You may find the following article helpful:

I have an Iphone 4S that i installed the face button app. After trying to use it, my phone locked and I cannot get it to work anymore. does anyone knows how to reset this phone and get it working again?

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

You are not addressing Apple here. These are user to user support forums.
Contact your local Apple store to inquire if they offer a trade-in program. Keep in mind you will get significantly more by selling the device yourself.

My friend has an iPhone but doesn't use iMessage. How can I send her regular texts with the new iOS 7 update?

My friend has an iPhone but doesn't use iMessage. How can I send her regular texts with the new iOS 7 update?

That's because her phone is recognized in the Apple database as an iPhone. It should eventually convert to SMS but that's above my level of expertise here so hopefully someone else can come along and help you further. She could just turn on iMessage and solve the problem. Ha!
Good luck!

With the new iOS 7 update, does anyone know what the setting "Bold Text" will do? If you click on this, it says it will restart your iPhone. Before I do this, I'm just wanting to be sure I know what's going to happen.

It just reboots the device and bolds the system fonts. No harm done. If you don't like it, undo the setting, it will reboot and back to as it was.

My IPhone 5 installed the new IOS 7 update but it will not install. Why?

I imagine a ton of people are attempting to download, install, and reactive their devices it right now. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

HT201210 my iphone 4 is running slower with the new iOs 7 update

I recently updated my iphone 4 with the new iOs 7 software and it is running a lot slower than before. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?

I have lost my contact and photos after downlaod new ios

i have lost my contact and photo on my iphon 4 after daownload new ios how i c an return back thanks

Downgrading an iOS is not supported by Apple but that would not bring the items back anyway.
What photos are you talking about? If they were synced to the iPod then you will have to get them from the computer from which they were synced. If the photos were taken by or saved to the iPod then they should be in the backup. The same with notes.
One the computr go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and look at the da and time of the iPod backup. If it corresponds to before the update was performed or at the beginning of the update then the itmes should be in the backup. Restore theiPod from backup. Make sure thatyou have auto syning turned off other wise when ou connect the iPod to the computer iTunes will backup the iPod which does not have the items and delete the old backup. To turn off, go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that say Prevent iPods.... syncing.

IF I BUY AN IPHONE 5 NOW, WILL THE NEW IOS BE UPDATED

Thinking about purchasing an Iphone5 now. Will the new IOS that is coming out in the fall be updated to my phone, or will I have to purchase a new phone?

Does anyone have any word on the new iOS 5 Update?

Hello fellow Apple Users,
I know with the release of iOS 5.0.1, there were a lot of complaints with numerous different things that came with the updated system.
Since then, I have been trying to keep up to date when the new iOS will be coming out.
Lately I haven't seen any news regarding this and now instead of iOS 5.2 or 5.0.1 there may be a 5.1???
Does anyone have any information possibly regarding this?
Thank you!
-Dizzy

No. Apple has not made any public announcements. When they do, you'll know just as soon as everyone else.
