My Iphone 4 does not update and is now on recovery mode and i've tried all trouble shooting and comes with -1 error!!

Hi there, today i decided to update my iphone4 to the newest IOS6 version, the update did not work, i went through the whole troubleshoot and called apple and they told me its broken on the inside and i would have to pay 129 pounds to fix it. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE JOKE!

  • HT4623 iphone 4 software update and not recognised

    it has been ages since i last synced my iphone i have updated my itunes to 10.1. my pc is not recognising my iphone.  I have tried to follow instructions to update software but there is no software update option in my general settings.
    can someone give me a step by step of what i have to do pleaaase
    Sammy

    READ the instructions in the link from which you posted.
    It clearly states how to upgrade directly from the device (if running iOS5 or higher) or how to upgrade from iTunes on the computer if running iOS 4.
    Also, update iTunes on your computer, iOS6 requires iTunes version 10.6 or higher.

  • Iphone 6 wont update and restore to factory settings

    i update my iphone 6 to os 8.1.2 then an icon 'connect to itunes' appear, when i connect to itunes it says "your iPhone can't be updated; you must restore it to factory settings." Then i select restore then a prompt appears again saying "Are you sure you want to restore the iPhone “iPhone” to its factory settings? All of your media and other data will be erased, and the newest version of the iPhone software will be installed." then i click "restore and update". Then after several minutes of waiting a message appears saying "The iphone could not behbeh ko restored. An unknown error occurred (56)." Then i disconnect it from the usb cable, but the icon connect to itunes is still there and i cant turn it off or even return to my home screen. What should be the problem? I just purchased it 3 weeks ago. Can someone help me. Thanks.

    Sounds like you are going to need to make a Genius appointment at your Apple Store. Earlier posts with this issue have indicated that the device had to be replaced.
    Best of luck,

  • My iphone 3gs wont update. itunes and ipod touch update no problem, my GF has exact same phone and hers updated also...any advice?

    If I was in your shoes, I would choose to restore the iPhone with iTunes and then choose to NOT restore a previous backup.  I'd then go on to set up the phone as though it were totally new, and choose the stuff to load onto it.
    The reason I'd go through that trouble.. even though it meant losing a lot of settings and having to set stuff up again .. is because I wasn't sure I could trust the backup that it's restoring from.
    If you have trouble again after doing the fresh reload -- especially if it's soon after you do it -- you may have a hardware issue with the phone, such as faulty flash memory or a processor chip that's failing. If that's the case, you'll want to consider your repair/replacement options at that point.

  • I downloaded i tunes onto my new computer, i connected my iphone during the updating process itunes failed and i lost all my purchased music from my iphone. I would like to get it reinstated how ?

    I downloaded itunes onto my new computer, i connected my iphone during the updating process itunes failed and i lost all my purchased music from my iphone and can no longer retrieve them. I would like to know how i can reinstate the lost music please.

    When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
    have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
    remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Try this:
    1. Plug phone into MAC / PC, start iTunes.
    2. Restore your phone and this will make it like new.
    3. Back up phone again.
    4. Then try to update to iOS 5 again.
    Are you updating via wifi ?

    Disable your firewall AND antivirus. If you have ever used this computer to hack or jailbreak ANY iDevice (not just the one with the problem) you will have to restore your hosts file to the way it was before you did so.

  • When i try to update my apps from the app store some of the apps wont update and ask for an Apple ID that isn't mine. Whats the problem and how do i fix it?

    When i try to update my apps from the app store some of the apps wont update and ask for an Apple ID that isn't mine. Whats the problem and how do i fix it? All im trying to do is update my apps and its asking for these random apple ID's.

    The apps were purchased by another user with a different Apple ID. You will have to erase them and repurchase them using your Apple ID.

  • My IPhone 4 wont activate and I dont want to buy a simcard to activate it

    My iphone 4 wont activate and it worked fine without a simcard before i factory reset it.... And I REALLY dont want to pay 20$ to call customer support... this is my last resort I'm afraid...
    the error message "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care."

    I could have searched the forum for that answer but can speak from experience.  I retired my old 3GS and wiped it, bought a ip5 and ported my number to a new carrier.  Part of the wiping of the old phone restored it as new.  When I connected it to itunes the setup assistant would only pop up if I put an old sim car in it and then I could activate it

    By install i presume you mean add it to the bottom of the machine ?
    Yes, and it's rather easy to do too.
    Your machine has two slots. These are the specs for a 2008 iMac (if your machine is different then check with Crucial.com and they will match the correct RAM for your machine)
    Maximum Memory
    6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 200-pin PC2-6400 (800MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
    So all you need to do is visit Crucial.com or OtherWorld Computing to order it, and OtherWorld Computing has install videos.
    Here is one on YouTube. Easy pleasy.
    Just make sure to discharge any static electricity and not touch the contacts, just the plastic edges.
