HT4972 why won't my phone "restore"? I downloaded ios 5 and did not unplug my iphone. Toward the end it said error occurred, then said iphone cannot be restored. Now it has a pic of itunes and won't do anything. I can't even make a call, or get email.
Just tried to download iOs 5 on my iphone 3G and now it says "can't restore" iphone. I just has a pic of itunes. Won't do anything even after hard shutdown.
The iPhone 3G does not support iOS5. The only way you could get iTunes to download that particular iOS is if you were attempting a hack. The lastest firmware for the 3G and the last one that it supports is 4.2.1.

I've downloaded the latest version of itunes but right before the phone is done restoring it just says unnexpected error occurred and my phone is stuck with the ITUNES icon and usb cable at all times now
Does the error have an accompanied number with it?

My I4S went through the update process,but at the end said it could not update it. Can anyone help.
Well, the support document that you used to link here talks about restore error codes. Did you find the error code you received on that sheet? Do you have the latest version of iTunes loaded (v10.7) on the computer?

I had an iPhone 5 and a friend of mine broke the screen to the point where I couldnt simply replace it. I had to get a new phone. Before doing this, I backed my phone up on my friend's computer because that is where I had been getting all of my music because I didn't have a computer at the time. I now live in another state and I finally replaced my iPhone. my friend emailed me my backup, and I downloaded it. I didn't have an app that could display the download so I downloaded iZip because that was one of the ones the app store recommended. I now can see the file that my friend sent me, but what do I do from here to get it on my phone? I tried simply dragging the file into iTunes, but that didn't work. I am not very savvy with this stuff, please help. I have no music, photos, anything.
Depending on what kind of computer you have, you're gonna need to put that backup in the appropriate folder or itunes is not gonna be able to see it for you to use.

Why won't contacts sync to iPod classic even though music and calendars do?
Why won't contacts sync to ipod classic even though music and calendars do?
I have found a way. Not elegant, but it does work.
Itunes looks for a contact list on your mac. But, if you are signed up for iCloud, it appears your contacts are actually on iCloud, not your Mac. So, you see your address book (left column) shows headings for "on my mac" and for "iCloud". If you select "on my mac", no contacts appear.
However, you can drag contacts or groups of contacts from the iCloud list to the on my mac list. They will then sync to your iPod classic.
Of course, you'll have to periodically some housecleaning as you modify the contacts that are in the cloud, but it does work. -
re started iphone after powering down, now is stuck in connect to itunes mode and wont do anything else. also has no service, I was able to retrieve all of my photos so the device is functional on that level. have restarted several times & also have restored data from i tunes. it said my phone is damaged.
Jailbreaking
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.

I tried to download the upgrade, now it won't install and I can not access my documents. It said Vi did not have enough space for the upgrade so I made room but still no luck. If I delete the ap and reinstall I will lose my stuff. Any ideas? It won't open so I can email it to myself.
What upgrade are you trying to install? Your profile shows iOS 5.1.1, which is the current max iOS.

I had some charges that showed up on my itunes account that we did not authorize. I disputed the charges and now my Apple ID has been deactivated. How can I reset it?

Since you disputed the charges with your credit card company, the CC company reversed the charges and Apple (correctly) locked the AppleID.
You will need to contact Apple -> http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/contact/
and explain what happened. -
I downloaded iOS 7 and now my notes won't sync with iCloud
I downloaded iOS 7 and now my notes won't sync with iCloud. Also, all of my notes on iCloud aren't on my phone anymore, but they are still on my computer. Can somebody please advise how to fix this issue? Thank you!
Sounds like they are being overwritten by the server as soon as you reconnect. With some effort you may be able to prevent this and recover your notes if you try the steps in Winston Churchill's post here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22600445#22600445.

i downloaded ios 7 and when it asked my passcode to get into my phone I typed in the passcode I was using and it won't let me in.
Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
Just downloaded IOS 6 and it disabled my favorite game, Bubblets Tllt. Restarted and no luck. Tried to download new app and it is gone. Tried to download from website off Safari and message it is no longer sold in the US. Please help. Apple owes me for the cost of this app. Plus Google Maps is infinitely better and that the download kicking it off makes me want to buy an android. And I am not alone is resenting this meddling in my right to keep what I originally purchased. What are they thinking?
hi Bern
Firstly welcome to Crowd Support
The Australian Communications Industry Forum (ACIF) Credit Management code states that Telstra must perform s credit assessment when a customer is applying to us for credit.
For our Credit Assessments to be passed there are many factors of information considered to determine if the Credit Assessment is satisfied.
There are many reasons why a Credit application may be declined, and one of the most common is due to the new Customer not having any previous history with Telstra.
While this may be frustrating for you, in the circumstance of a Mobile Phone contract being involved, we really do need to be sure that we have the correct billing information, up to date contact details and also viability to pay bills on time.
There is a process where this decline decision can be disputed, and I would be more than happy to lodge this dispute for you if you could provide me with some information.
I will send you a PM so that we can work together offline to lodge this dispute.

I just downloaded ios 7 and now my phone won't open, anyone know how I can open it?
I downloaded ios 7 and at first my phone worked fine, I locked my phone and now I cant unlock it even though when someone calls the phone rings. Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Hello there, Mark2s.
The following Knowledge Base article offers some great steps for troubleshooting your issue with charging your phone:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Particularly:
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro. -
