HT4623 Question - phone locked up during 6.01 update

Earlier today I attempted to update to IOS 6.01 but I lost my wifi connection after beginning the update. My phone has been locked ever since in that the screen shows only an image of plugging my power cord into the itunes icon. When I plug my phone into my laptop, it directs me to perform a "restore" but I can't believe this is my only option as I don't want to lose all of my apps, bookmarks, contacts, etc. Please advise. Thank you.

Restoring is your only option.  If you backed up your phone with iTunes or iCloud BEFORE updating (which you should be doing regularly anyway) you can restore the backup without loss of data.  Otherwise, SOL.

  • HT4623 My phone does not give me an update option.  It is a 4s I think.  I go to Setting, General and there is no Software Update tab.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

    My I phone 4s does not have an update option to get IOS7.  How do I downloead?

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

  • Question about locking order during merge statement

    Dear all.
    I have a merge query with a decedent hint to prevent deadlock with another queries.
    Another queries use select ~for update with same hint.
    My question is that the locking order will follow the hint in this query?
    Or I might use the select ~ for update before this merege.
    Please give any advice about select ~for update and locking order in the query.
    Thanks.
    MERGE INTO  A
    USING
         (SELECT /*+ index_desc(C index_key) */ *
         FROM
             C
          WHERE key > :start and key < :end
        ) B
         ON  ( A.KEY = B.KEY )
    WHEN MATCHED THEN
         UPDATE
         SET A.v1 = B.v1

    What you are doing is not going to prevent a deadlock in your, as yet, unknown version of Oracle. Reading an index does not cause deadlocks. Trying to alter an uncommitted row does.
    I would suggest you code this correctly by doing a SELECT FOR UPDATE WAIT <seconds> in all transactions.

  • HT4623 my phone keeps stalling during the restore and update any help please ?

    Can anyone help me ive been at this all day and no luck?

    Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts. This usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. If still problem, charge your iPhone with Wall Charger for 10 minutes even if it does not show it is charging. Then you should Restore your iPhone with iTunes on computer. Here are simple steps. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. Hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Click Restore Button of iTunes.

  • HT4623 Opened phone, it said there was an update to ios7.  Supposed to continue, did, went to accept icloud app, did. phone doesn't go forward.  If I shut it off, it goes back to HELLO, then to icloud acceptance but no further.  phone is useless now.  How

    Opened phone, message to upgrade to IOS7.Answered few questions then it asked whether I agreed with details of Cloud use. Said, agree, next screen, agree, goes no further.  If I turn off the phone it puts me back to beginning, next to privacy agreement for cloud use, agreed.  Nothing.  Now I have no access to my phone functions at all.  What could I do?

    Even if you had it looked at in a Verizon store there is no guarantee that the issue is not via damage to the ear port.
    Not saying you did it, if you had supplemental insurance on the device the damage would have been covered but a deductible would have applied. so you are in a catch 22 at the moment.
    Many people have said that after it was sent back Verizon claimed it was physical damage. And ding their account.
    Do not give your device to any Verizon store or reseller, others have said they did so and they were charged for a lost device.
    again it does not make me comfortable.
    The other option is to call Motorola and have them fix it and then send the same device back to you. There are service centers all over and you may be lucky and be close to one. This way even if they say its damage, you pay a smaller price to get it repaired than if lost, stolen or damaged according to Verizon.
    Good Luck

  • HT4623 my phone does not have the software update option

    my ipone 4 does not have the software update option?

    Do the following:
    Open the App Store app on your phone and update all your apps so the will work with the new iOS.
    Connect your phone to your computer and open iTunes.  If prompted that there is an update available, decline.
    Sync with iTunes to create a new backup and transfer any purchases from your phone to your iTunes library.
    Import your photos to your computer for safekeeping as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Go back to iTunes, click on the name of your phone on the left side, go to the Summary tab to the right and click on Check for Update (or Update).
    This will download iOS to your computer (which may take a while), then install the update on your phone.  Pay attention to the progress information in iTunes on the top of the screen, and any information that appears on your phone during this process to be sure you don't disconnect your phone prematurely.

  • HT4623 my phone has NEVER had a software update button in my settings....what do I do?

    Help me figure out my phone update before I have to buy a new phone please!

    The aricle, that you linked to to come here, told you what/how to update your phone. Did you bother to read it, especially the part about using iTunes on your computer?
    Updating OTA requires iOS 5.0 or higher.

  • HT4623 My phone showed that there was an update for the IOS7 but now it is thowing that there is not an update available. Help please?

    I am really confused on how ten minutes ago it showed that I had the new update available and now my phone is showing me that there is no update?

    Thank you. I just wasn't sure if my phone was messing up or I was possibly doing something wrong!

  • Elements 2 [Macintosh] locks up during launch while "Updating Adobe Online components"

    Sometimes the pop-up download dialog window says something very roughly like; "unable to access/download server/file" while downloading File 1 of 2. Sometimes the lockup will occur while downloading file 2 of 2. File 2 is identified as: AWEDBfiles4.awe. Launches are successful after reinstalling Elements 2, but usually only until a restart. I am using a PowerBook G3/500 [FireWire] with a FastMac G4/550 upgrade and 1 gig of RAM running OS X Tiger. Thanks so much for your time and attention.

    Take your computer offline. Launch PE then go to preferences>Adobe online and set Check for Updates to never. There never have been any updates for PE 2 and there sure won't be any now. :)

  • IPhone locks up during update/sync

    I have synched my prior iPhone for several months so everything was set up fine, but it no longer will allow downloads. Last week, I tried to download the update for iPhone, and it locked up. When I disconnected, the iPhone was ruined, would only accept a download, but then would not complete the download. I got a new iPhone. Now, I have reloaded from a backup, I have the latest version of iTunes, and when I tried to download the latest iPhone update FIVE hours ago, it looked like it was working, but iTunes and the phone are stuck in "Updating iPhone Software." I will have to disconnect again; I cannot stay connected indefinitely. The telephone support is not available (I don't know what their limited hours are), but when I called last Sunday with the same problem, they could only help me redownload iTunes - and that didn't fix my phone. Help!!

    I just bought the iPhone and when I brought it home, my phone and computer both locked up during teh software update. I spent an hour on the phone with a very nice lady, but she couldn't help me. She transferred me to a product specialist, and through conversation, we realized that I was the problem. I had my phone plugged into a powered USB hub, and it just would not work that way. I figured that since the hub was 2.0 and was getting power from my outlet, it would be fine. Guess not... As soon as I plugged it directly into my computer USB port and reset everything, it worked fine. I think you said you were using a laptop to sync, so maybe your USB port is just not cutting it. Good luck w/ the fix.
