HT4623 iPhone 4S won't start after iOS 6.01 update any ideas

My iPhone 4S won't start after doing the latest update that came out today I believe it was iOS 6.01 or 6.1

    Make sure that is completely dried out. You can put it in a bowl of dry rice to ensure this. Otherwise its likely that the water damage ruiend a comonent. Try letting it dry, and if not take the product into apple. Unless you know how to take phone apart safely and look at the internal components.

  • HT4623 Reminders won't work after iOS 6.1 update on iPhone 5?

    I updated to the new iOS 6.1 update last night. Went to make a reminder through siri and i get to the point were it asks to confim. When I press confirm Siri tells me that she can't do it. I try to set a reminder manually and the app does not give me the option to add a reminder manually. Everything worked fine before the update when my iPhone 5 had the 6.0 iOS?
    Any ideas on what the problem coulb be? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    The problem is more than likely being cause by corruption that occured during the iOS install or in the backup that was used to restore the phone after the update.
    Standard troubleshooting is:
    Re-boot the phone
    Restore the phone from your backup
    Restore the phone as a new device.
    One of the 3 should fix the problem.

  • Iphone 4s wouldn't start after ios update

    I just updated my ios to 5.1. download completed, phone restarted, etc. All looked ok and i have got to the screen when it said that YOU CAN START USING YOUR IPHONE. when i click on the button it restarts and goes back to the same CONFIGURE menu. anyone faced the same problem?

    Hello - I have the similiar problem with my wifes iPhone 4s. It sucessfully installed the ios 5.1 however on restart it came up with the grey iphone setup screen. Once you enable location services, select your wifi network it prompts you saying that your iphone is ready to use (CLICK TO USE YOUR IPHONE).
    Almost immediately after that, the screen flashes the home screen then it restarts itself back to the setup menu. I cannot get past this menu.
    I have tried-
    1. Restoring the phone to new
    2. Restoring from a backup
    3. Hard and soft resets
    None of the above have fixed the issue. I have a genius bar appt with apple today to see what the problem is and if the phone is now a dud because of this new ios 5.1 update. REALLY FRUSTRATING!
    Please let me know if there are other forums or folks having the same or similiar issue and what is being done to fix the problem.
    Thanks-

  • IPod won't start after iOS 5.0 failed install

    I have an iPod Touch, 4th generation (4.3.5, not jailbroken), and an ASUS laptop running Windows 7 64-bit. Around noon today, I downloaded the iOS 5.0 upgrade and attempted to install it. I got an error 3200 from iTunes, so I Googled on the matter. I found a result on a forum saying to just try again every few minutes, so I tried again, and a third time, after which I no longer received the error. After much waiting, it had finally wiped the iPod clean.
    I then got an error 1602; after clicking okay, the iPod was in recovery mode (I think? It has the adapter + iTunes logo on the screen...), and it did not show up on my iTunes sidebar (as in, I couldn't access its interface to sync/update/transfer/etc.). I noticed then that Windows didn't recognize it either, as it usually does. Unplugging/plugging it in produces the little chime to let you know it's there, but it is not listed as a device.
    I restarted my computer (no luck), reinstalled the driver software (luck failed once more), reinstalled iTunes and all of the Apple suite, including the Mobile Device manager, and am still pulling my hair out over this.
    I did perform a full backup and purchase transfer from the beginning so I hope I haven't lost anything.
    So here's what I need to do:
    1) Get iTunes/Windows to recognize the device.
    2) Restore the iPod.
    3) Get iOS 5.0 on it.
    Any ideas on where to start?

    I have the same problem and read where one person turned off ICloud.  I do not have I Cloud activated so I went ahead and turned off WiFi.  Now it is syncing.
    It used to not get past Step 1 of Syncing and it would say "Fail to Sync" or something like that.

  • IPhone 5 won't start after restore

    Hi there.
    Ok, so this is really crap.
    I have a shiny new Iphone 5.  I have an old 3gs, on ios6.  I am attempting to start the phone from an icloud restore.
    The download seemed to be fine, but on restarting the progress bar didn't get half way before stopping - for 5 minutes.
    So i restarted the phone but now it doesn't get beyond about 10% of the way across.
    What an AWESOME phone!!!
    Any ideas?

    Try to follow Blaze6377 first.
    If it doesn't solve your problem.
    Here is what I did and it SOLVED! for my iPhone 5:
    1. Close iTunes and reopen your iTunes program again.
    2. Plug in your iPhone 5 with your computer.
    3. Press Power button and Home button together again.
    4. This time iTunes will show iPhone 5 will be in recovery mode. Just close the pop up messege in iTunes.
    5. My iPhone's screen shows to plug in cable with iTunes. I just remove the cable out from my iPhone instead.
    6. Press and hold Power button and Home button together again. It will shows Apple logo first, then disapear, then it shows Apple logo again. At this point, release both buttons.
    Under the Apple logo, it will show grey bar (like computer boot up). Just wait and then Voila!. My iPhone came back to normal again.
    I did the above processes because I try to avoid from Restore to factory setting.
    I hope this help and work with your iPhone as well.
    Have a good one!

  • Imessage on iPhone 4S won't activate after iOS 7.0.3 installation

  • IPhone 3GS Will not boot after iOS 4.3 Update....

    I updated my wife's 3GS last night and when it was done it rebooted and started filling up the line under the apple logo like it always does after the software is loaded but after the bar fills up, the phone locks up and does not go past the apple logo with a full bar under it. - iTunes also locks up when you connect the phone. I've tried to restore it but it does the same thing.... any ideas?

    You're further than I am!! Mine's frozen on the apple with an empty progress bar. And absolutely nothing seems to be working. I've tried taking the SIM card out, tried restoring to previous system, but Itunes won't recognise the phone. It's absolutely doing my head in and I'm going out of town in the morning and really don't fancy being without my phone!

  • IChat won't start after 10.4.3 update!!!!!

    After I installed 10.4.3 iChat won't start. It would look like it was going to Launch and would quit. I looked at all the postings and found a couple of ideas, but nothing that worked. The only way I can get on is by disabling my network connection and then starting iChat and then re enabling my network connection. Any other ideas. Please let me know.

    Ralph, no offense, I know you're trying to help this guy, but all you've done to offer him advice is to tell him what he already said he's doing and was trying to not have to perform every single time he wants to use iChat.
    In his ORIGINAL post, he said exactly this:
    The only way I can get on is by disabling my network connection and then starting iChat and then re enabling my network connection.
    Please try and really read what someone asking for help is saying, then offer advice if you've got it. All it looks like here is that you weren't really paying attention to his problem in the first place.
    As for me, I'm having much the same problem as a lot of people getting iChat to work, and I clicked on this seeing it had a reply thinking I was going to finally find an answer. It's a little frustrating to see people reply with exactly the same information they've already been given just being repeated back to them.

  • Won't start after 10.4.11 update

    I just updated my OS to 10.4.11 and now my computer won't start up. I get to the Mac OS X screen that says OS X is starting up. Then I logon and then the blue screen and that is as far as I can get.

    Likewise here - just updated the wife's imac 17" duo Intel and nothing.
    OSX 10.4
    Tried booting up into Safe Mode as per instructions. Cannot even get there.
    Held SHIFT (even tried the left and then the right one) but still have the Grey Apple and spinning gear.
    Now I'm a Windows user, so I know F8 or bootup with CD gets me into command console, isn't there an Apple equivalent to it?
    Obviously Shift doesn't. I read somewhere else holding the Apple key or X does it, but nothing here.

  • 4S won't activate after iOS 5.1 update

    Updated yesterday.
    Update finished but my iphone 4s keeps asking me for configuration and won't activate.
    I select the wireless network. Connection is fine. Even SIM unlock happens.
    It says it is OK to use it now. I click on it and it returns back to configure screen again.
    It is in a loop.
    Configure-You can use it-Configure-You can use it-Configure and on and on.
    I restored the iphone using iTunes but no lock. If I restore it from backup or icloud backup the situation is the same.
    If I set it up as new iphone I can open it but this time I loose everything.
    I have backups but I cannot use the phone if I install them.
    This is really frustrating.
    Can I get back to 5.01 somehow. I want to use my phone and I don't want to lose my data.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    The backup you have does matter (icloud or itunes. The moment you restore from it, you are in the loop. I don't know if Siri has anything to do with it or not but mine was off.
    I talked to Apple for 50 minutes. We tried many things, no joy. The last words were that there were more people like us and if the number were enough Apple would develop and publish an update. What they suggested is to wait until the update is released, install the update and then make the restore from backup. It would work then.
    Please call Apple and create a case. We need numbers.
    I hope they take us seriously and correct this grave mistake as soon as possible.
    For those who have iCloud backup, the following works:
    Set the phone up as new device.
    Go to Settings and iCloud.
    Enter your iCloud account.
    It will ask if you would like to merge.
    If you say yes, you could at least get your contacts back.

    Hey mdmcholet,
    That sounds frustrating, your iPhone 5 only displays a white screen with an Apple logo. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides troubleshooting suggestions that’ll most likely resolve the issue.
