HT201263 I cannot get my iphone to restore after the latest update, it seems this is the "recovery loop" my phone is "dead" can someone help please

My Iphone 4s never restarted after installing the latest upgrade. I understand this is called the recovery loop. It will not restart after going through the recovery process in itunes. What do I do as the phone is completely dead to all intents and purposes. What on earth do I do???

Try and put it DFU mode and do a manual install, as outlined in the link below.

  • Itunes will not recognize either my iphone or ipad any more since I've downloaded their latest update. I'm working with a Windows 8.1 computer. Can someone help please?

    Itunes will not recognize either my iphone 5 or my ipad since I have downloaded the new Itunes upgrade on my Windows 8.1 system. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and none of that works. Can someone help with this?

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled and none of that works.
    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • HT4528 I cannot get my iPhone to boot up the iOS7.

    I cannot get my iPhone to boot up the iOS7. It is downloaded and my phone will take me to the start up screen, but after I enter my internet information it says it "server cannot be reached."

    many folks have been having activation issues in the last few hours... your issue maybe related.
    best advice i've heard is to wait a while... if you cant get past the start up screen after a while then running thru the iphone ts steps is what i'd do... http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/

  • I cannot get my iphone 4s to allow the phone to ring. It only vibrates. I have checked everything please help.....

    I cannot get my iphone 4s to allow the phone to ring. It only vibrates. I have checked everything. Please help......

    What "everything" includes?
    When you select a ringtone what happens? (Try to change from a ringtone to another).
    Did you tried a reset? Hold down Power and Home buttons together until Apple logo appears. Then release and wait to reboot.
    Check again.

    Delete the .ipsw file on the computer.
    Put the device in DFU mode.
    Restore as new, once the restore completes, then try restoring from backup.

    Hi, can someone help please - my iPhone hasn't been backed up since early August, now I can't seem to get it to back up to iCloud. I have 9GB of space, I have left it plugged in etc for 11hrs, but keep getting the same message " iPhone backup could not be completed" -what dies that mean.?

    Hi,
    I was facing issues with both backup and FB integration after the iOs 6 upgrade.  Before then I did not have any issues with the iCloud backup service, but after a few days, I noticed that it was continually stuck at the Estimating time for the backup and it never progressed.
    As any good techie would, I tackled the most pressing issue first . . . FB integration of course.
    I had read in a separate post about this solution so tried it . . .
    I deleted the original FB app and hard booted the phone.  I then went into settings and entered the data for FB integration.  Seconds later, I received a text message to my phone - already listed and verified in FB with a 6 digit code to re-enter instead of my password.  Seconds later I was verified and then prompted to download the FB app.  All backup and integrated.
    Then I went into the iCloud backup, turned it off . . . and deleted the last backup.  I then re-enabled backup . . . and although I thought I was going to face the same issue, after a few minutes, it moved on from Estimating time . . . to actually backing up.  It is now a small way through the backup and seems to estimate that it will take another two hours to complete.
    A good nights work.  Backup and integration all sewed up.  Good luck.
    Cheers

    No one here can help you, nor can Apple or any carrier. If you know the location, contact the local police where it is located.

    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

  • I have just selected all my desktop icons and accidentally deleted them.  This included my external hard drive with 22,000 photos in iPhoto.  I cannot open iPhoto now.  Can someone help please?

    I have just selected all my desktop icons and accidentally deleted them.  This included my external hard drive with 22,000 photos in iPhoto.  I cannot open iPhoto now.  Can someone help please?

    What is the file system of that external HD? is it MacOS Extended (Journaled)?
    Which iPhoto version do you have?
    If you directly select the iPhoto Library in the Finder and use "File > Get Info", does the library still show as "Kind: iPhoto Library" and is the file size correct for 22000 Photos?
    If the library does no longer have the correct size, restore it from your backup.
    But if the library has the correct size, try to open it directly by clicking it. This should work, if your iPhoto version is iPhoto '11.

    Hi Mario,,,,
    I tried everything in your reply,,, thank you again,, I had done that once before and all was working great,,
    I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
    Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
    Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
    Please advise,???
    I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???
    Thank you again

  • I am getting white screen of death on my Macbook Pro, can someone help please?

    I am getting white screen of death on my Macbook Pro, can someone help please?

    Intermittent or inconsistent situations as you describe are the most difficult to resolve.  First step you should do is be certain that you have your data backed up.  I suggest that you do this by creating a bootable clone using Carbon Copy Cloner.  The advantage to this is that not only is it a backup but can immediately be used to run your MBP in the event of an internal HHD failure.
    The article that I gave you to start your search contains a link to this article:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
    Though lengthy, it can resolve most issues if you go through all of the sections.  If you cannot achieve success, then an Apple store genius bar is the last option.
    Ciao.

    Hiya thankyou for the answer.
    Trying to set it up as a new device but can't find the backup to save it.
    I have no "mediasync" folder in my library/application support. Did these folders get moved around with Lion?

    Hi. I am not able to update the Adobe Flash Player on my MackBook Pro. The problem I am getting is a blank page for Step3. Can someone help please?

    If you already have an older version of Flash Player, open the Preference pane and select Check Now... under the Update portion under the General tab:
    You shouldn't have to install a new version from the website (I'm not even sure if you can) if you've already installed Flash Player.
