HT4623 Trying to update my iPhone. Connect to my computer and all it does is beep on my computer and on my phone. What is going on?
Trying to Sync my iPhone but when I connect to computer both the computer and the iPhone just beep continuously
Hello,
Yes I had been connecting directly to the USB port.
Previously I had been using a cable that I recieved with a portable charging device. Today I have used the actual cable that I got when I bought the phone (as normally this lives in my car)
My computer now recognises my phone...Once I have transferred music I will try with the second cable to see if it is an issue with the cable, as could it be possible that the other cable would only be able to charge my phone??

That Error message is indicative of a Hardware issue. The Device may need Service. Take it in for evaluation. -
i was trying to update my iphone 5 but it got stuck on itune screen. whenever i try to restore it says error (1669) what can i do. please help
Try these troubleshooting steps.
If that Article did not resolve it... then perhaps a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required..
Be sure to make an appointment first...
Note:
That error message may be indicative of the Device being Hacked / jailbroken.... If this is the case then you are on your own.
Unauthorized modification of iOS...

Press and hold the "Top button" and the Home button together for 15 seconds. This will force iPhone to reboot.

Can anyone help. I tried to update my iPhone 4 this morning and it just got half way through the update and froze. I managed to turn it off eventually, but now all it will do is show the apple sign fading in and out and is un usable. It's not even being recognised as plugged into the laptop!!!!!!!

When I go to Settings and General there is no option that says Software Update. The options given are just "About" and "Usage"
Can anyone pls help???

VickyNo problem. Here is what I hope is a reasonable explanation.
You have iTunes on your PC and you can also use it on your PC. This could be regarded as the central store or central point for all your data/music etc.
You can then have stuff on your iPhone and your iPad and each could have different stuff on it depending on available capacity depending on what you need. You can either put stuff on them from iTunes or just download to them directly. If you put stuff on them from iTunes, then you obviously also have it on iTunes. If you download directly, a copy of what you downloaded directly, should also download into iTunes automatically. Again, iTunes is your central store.
iCloud allows you to back up each of your devices in the cloud (Apple's storage area), iPhone, iPad and iTunes, automatically, just in case you have a problem and need to recover something. For example, although my iPhone is backed up within iTunes on my computer, it is also backed up in iCloud. A couple of months ago, I had a problem on my iPhone and went into an Apple Store to talk to them about it. To my (unprepared) surprise, they replaced my iPhone and gave me a new one. Whilst sitting in the store (and being connected to their wifi), I could then restore all my iPhone stuff directly from iCloud. This is everything apart from some data like music which I would have to do from iTunes.
Finally, iCloud also allows you to automatically transfer things from one device to another such as photos (photostream), contacts, reminders etc. - in such a case you could think of it as a syncing system.
I hope that this all helps.
All in all, use iTunes on a PC, keep it up to date and backed up if you can.
(proviso - this is not an exhaustable list nor 100% accurate but it does give a good summary of how it all works) -
HT4623 Trying to update my iphone 4.2.1,
Can't open iTunes, says that iTunes library can not be read, because it was created by a newer version of iTunes, can anyone help?
You seem to have an old version of iTunes present on that computer and a newer version of iTunes on another using the same account. You should uninstall iTunes on that computer and reinstall it from Apple's website to insure you have that latest version of iTunes. If your Music is missing after the uninstall, you can proably find it somewhere in My Music (if you are using Windows) or Music (on Mac), and you can put it back in iTunes by clicking and dragging it into your library. You should now have no problem updating your iPhone. I should let you know it is not possible to update to iOS 4.2.1 anymore (unless you own an older device such as the iPhone 3G). You will be forced to update to the latest version of iOS, which right now is iOS 6.1.3 on the iPhone 4. Also, make a backup of your iPhone before updating just in case something happens. You can do this by doing a full iTunes sync if you can or by right clicking your iPhone's name on the sidebar (if you have the sidebar enabled) and clicking "back up". Wish you luck and no lags with iOS 6. Be sure to come back for more when iOS 7 becomes available.

HT4623 Trying to update my iPhone 4s from ios 6.1.3 to ios 6.1.4
Hello.... I had to turn my phone off last night... when I turned it on again it wouldn't make sounds unless I had the earbuds plugged in... I have read the other issues that people have had and then found that there was a new update to 6.1.4.... I can't download it from iTunes and when I try and find it on the Apple site and have my phone plugged in with the USB cable it won't show the newest update.... What is the way to correct this problem?? Thanks.
Good grief.... I simply turned the phone off!!!!!
I will try this restore and see if it works as I have checked the headphone jack for debris and couldn't see anything and have done what I could to clean it out should there be anything in there...
Appreciate your help Ocean 20. -
I can not update my iphone. I think I need to change my network settings. what should I do?
Were you updating over the air or connected to your computer? If it was via cable with your computer it should have done a backup prior to starting the update.

Anyone know how I can update/unbrick this iPod? It's useless. It's stuck on the screen that says connect to iTunes. iTunes doesn't know it's there. My computer doesn't know it's there. It's not the USB port.
Please don't direct me here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - already tried, no results.
Last time it was a missing driver for iTunes but iTunes says nothing new is needed. Help appreciated.Let me try this again. My computer said my iPod needed an update. I clicked ok. iTunes said it was doing the update. I browsed the internet. I came back to it after it was done, and it said update failed, no new drivers installed. Now my iPod touch is a brick. I cannot use it for anything. You know that screen that shows the usb cable, a white arrow, and iTunes? It's stuck there. No amount of pushing the sleep/wake button and home button will convince it to go to any other screen. When I go to 'My Computer', it does not recognize that there is anything there. It is not the USB port. Everything was fine until the update tried and failed.
I am not installing iTunes (piece of crap software that it is) on the other computer in my apartment.
I have exhausted the articles that sort of go with the problems I am having. They all assume a non brick iPod. Mine is a brick and therefore those articles, including the one you linked, are not relevant.
Not meaning to be rude, but I came into this not caring much for Apple's business model. I've had my iPod for .. a week? Maybe two, and nothing I've seen has convinced me to feel otherwise. Apple's products are supposed to just work. I am not finding that to be the case. Anyone with anything helpful please? -
Why do I have to use a wi-fi connection to update my phone?
Because the upgrade download exceeds the maximum file size allowed under cellular. You either need to be on a wifi network, or connect your iPhone to your computer and upgrade throught iTunes.
