HT201413 what can I do with my iPhone which is not recognised by the PC during an update of the iOS ?

Trying to update iPhone 4S from iOS 7 to iOS 8.  All PC software up to date, and 2 phones and 1 iPad already updated successfully.
Old software was extracted, but upon completion of updating to iOS 8, error message (6) and "this phone could not be updated"
After several attempts, was offered message to "update" or "restore".  Update obviously did not work, so tried restoring.
This also failed.  Now the phone is "dead" shows no name on the PC, and bears an iTunes icon with  a plug connection icon - suggesting
I should plug it in to a USB port, when it is already plugged in.  There is no acknowledgement between the PC and the connected iPhone!

Hello 14hockey,
You came from the right article with dealing with the restore error code that you were getting. But now that your iPhone is not showing up, take a look at the article below to walk you through the troubleshooting options to get your iPhone to show up on your computer again.

    No internet access when connected to an available wi-fi network and the same when connected to your carrier's cellular network, or when connected to your carrier's cellular network only?
    Any error message provided?

  • Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly.  Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync.  Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

    Solutions?

    No, I never really found an easy solution.  I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device.  In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs.  A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup.  It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad.  But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost.  When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might.  If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
    None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it.  I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
    Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

    Welcome to the Apple community Axel.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

  • What can I do with my iphone 4s that is locked to sprint but hasnt been activated?

    Can I sell it? Upgrade? Or am I stuck with a phone that doesnt work?
    Ideally I would just like to get it to work, it hasnt been activated yet, so surely someone can do something?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about it.
    I don't know where or from whom you bought it, but you either didn't ask the proper questions or you were lied to or otherwise misled.
    The phone is useless to you. Sell it to someone in the US and purchase a phone you can use in Ireland. Locked phones are not unique to the smartphone world. It's been happening since the dawn of cell phones. In the US, it was not even possible to purchase an unlocked phone of any kind until a few short years ago.

  • What can be replaced with FoxTab, since it is not available for FireFox 5.0?

    Is there any version of FoxTab available for FireFox 5.0?

    It says:
    <blockquote>"Bloomind FT DeepDark 2" is a theme that has been created to transform the look of Firefox 4 for <b>Windows</b> users. It has been specially designed for Seven, but rendering is relatively accurate on XP and Linux (<b>I can t test it on MAC</b>, but for those who would like to try it anyway on that platform, <u>you can force download and install it</u>).</blockquote>
    So try to save that file via the right-click context menu.

  • What do i do if my iPhone 5c is not allowing me to connect it to iTunes becuse the password is not working

    I recently got my iPhone 5c repaired and when I recieved the phone back the password wouldn't go through. So I kept trying until the phone notified me that I had to connect it to iTunes. When connected to iTunes I got pop ups that explained how the phone couldn't be connected to iTunes until it was unlocked. I have no idea what to do because every video I watched on how to restart the phone was not useful to me because my home button is not working. I am supposed to take the phone backk to the repairer on Friday but i will need to use it before then. Any ideas please help me.

    The next iOS update won't change this.
    Are you able to transfer anything else from your iTunes library and computer via the iTunes sync process such as a movie, TV show, podcast, audio or print book, apps, and photos from your computer?

    my iphone 5 suddenly has a white blank screen,  no liquid contact or history of fall, what can i do with this problem?

    Hey there Galileo,
    It sounds like your iPhone screen is solid white and you cannot do anything with it. Take a look at these steps from the following article about that kind of issue:
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you see a solid color screen (black, white or blue)
    Plug in your device to a power source. If you see the low-battery screen when you plug in, let your device charge for at least 10 minutes (20 minutes for iPad) before using it.
    Reset your device while it's plugged in.
    If resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

    Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. A Restore is more thorough than the Update. If still problem after the Restore on computer, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send iPhone to Apple Store for resolution. iPhone 5S is covered by Warranty.
