HT6058 During the installation of the ios 7.0.4 update my screen froze with the iTunes icon and arrow under that and a picture of the usb plug under that.  Thanks for messing up my perfectly well functioning IPad 2 with your lousy update!  What now?

During the ios 7.0.4 update, my IPad 2 froze.  The picture on the screen is an iTunes icon, and arrow inder that and a picture of the apple usb cord.  It will not go away.  I have tried hard and soft turn offs.  Please help!

Philly:
  When there is an iOS update available, iTunes asks if you want to install it. I chose to only download the iOS 7.0.6 update, but not to install it until I had done a backup of everything on my iPad. When that iOS 7.0.6 update failed, I had NO iOS at all, just a bricked iPad.
When my son did a "clean restore" that was the same thing you'd do to wipe an iPad - just install iOS 7.0.6 and install basic iPad apps.  When you turn the iPad on after that, it indicates it wants to be connected to iTunes. At that point, my son yanked the cord so nothing else was installed.  Then, with iOS 7.0.6 already installed, iTunes on my PC didn't say it wanted to update iOS, and allowed me to choose my previous backup to be restored. All was straightforward after that.
Again, there are places on he web where you can download various versions of iOS, along with a PC utility that will do the iOS update. I think these utilities are for when you want to hack your device, so I'm not crazy about this approach.

  • HT4859 I have an iPhone 5 and have just set up the iCloud for it. I also have an iPad with different content and I also want to connect it to iCloud. Will I lose everything that's on my iPad or iPhone or do they sync together without losing anything?

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

    Backup and restore your software via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a NEW device. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • How do I sync my iPad with my iTunes without it trying to put my iPod apps on the iPad?  I don't want to make separate accounts because then the apps that I want on both would have to be paid for twice.

    How do I sync my iPad with my iTunes without it trying to put my iPod apps on the iPad?  I don't want to make separate accounts because then the apps that I want on both would have to be paid for twice.

    No, they won't. Just create a second profile in iTunes for the iPad. You can then select only what you want synced to it completely separate from your iPod.
    Create a multiple user iTunes music library

  • Connected Apple TV Box tonight and it said it needed an update.  I ran the update, and it worked for a few minutes.  Then all of a sudden, a screen popped up showing that I needed to connect via USB plug to my MacBook Air to connect to iTunes.  Why??

    I conneced the Apple TV and it worked fine at first.  It has worked well for some time.  We are using them in our school this year, as well as converting to all apple products.  I have been able to pull up my computer screen through Apple TV onto our projectors.  However, tonight when I started apple TV, the mirroring icon came up, and everything seemed fine.  Then a message came up that the Apple TV Box needed an update.  I clicked on the button to run it now, and it seemed fine.  The mirroring worked for about 5 minutes after the update, then I got a screen that had a picture of the Apple TV Box and a USB cord directed toward a picture of the iTunes icon.  The light on the frontof the component flashed, and I couldn't go to the menu at all.  I wouldn't do anything.  I no longer cold see the Airplay/mirroring icon on my computer either.  I tried to shut everything off and reboot the computer and the Apple TV box.  However, none of this worked. 
    Any suggestions???  I'm a high school football coach, and this is how our team will watch film this year.  I really need to get this rectified by the end of the week, as our team will go into camp for the next two weeks. 

    Hello Philly,
    I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?)  touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
    I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.
    ~Remember, I am just giving an educated guess on limited information

    I'd like to transfer the photos from iPhone to MacBook Air. My iPhoto used to detect my iPhone automatically, but it doesn't happen anymore. How could I fox this? Thanks for helping!

    Check the iPhoto preferences:
    From the main menu bar:  iPhoto > Preferences > General:
         "Connecting camera opens"  : Set this option to  "iPhoto".
    If that does not help, disconnect your iPhone and reset your iPhone.
    To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • HT201210 I was doing an update on my iphone and it stopped short of getting it all the way done. Now my phone is stuck with an itunes icon on the screen, and will not allow me to do anything with it. I tried shutting it down and restarting it...same icon

    I tried to update my phone. The update didnt go all the way through, and ended up freezing the screen on my iphone with an itunes icon on it. I tried to reboot phone with no success...the icon stays on there with no other function of the phone available. Anybody know of a fix?

    Put your iphone in dfu mode by doing this. Turn your iphone off. When its off, hold home and power button together for exactly 10 seconds, then release the power button and keep holding home button for another 10 seconds. Then open up itunes on your pc and plug your iphone to your pc. Itunes should recognize your iphone in recovery mode and it will tell you to restore it. Click restore, and your iphone will restore. Remember that, if you do this you will lose everything that was on your iphone. You can restore from backup later on. Hope I helped. If you have any questions or problems with this tutarial, you can contact me personaly on my email [email protected]   . Hope I helped. Cheers

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

      If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode

  • I have just tried to update my ipod touch and the update failed but it has locked my ipod.  All I get is a picture of the itunes logo and the usb lead

    I have just tried to update my ipod touch and the update failed but it has locked my ipod.  All I get is a picture of the itunes logo and the usb lead.  I am unable to get the ipod to move and I don't know what to do.  I think I should be recompenced by Apple if I have to pay to get it fixed!

    The logo is saying connect it to your computer with iTunes installed on the computer.  I assume when yo do this that the iPod is not seen in iTunes. to make iTunes appear try:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Place the iPod in recovery mode.  See:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Place the iPod in DFU mode:

    If the iPod appears in iTunes restore the iPOd.  If not I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My old iMac and OS 10.4 will not accept the New iTunes Version 10 application and I can't get past the screen offering to download iTunes 10.  This is wrong and I need help getting past this situation. Help!

    My old iMac and OS 10.4 will not accept the New iTunes Version 10 application and I can't get past the screen offering to download iTunes 10.  This is wrong and I need help getting past this situation. Help!

    Sure, you can get around it if you don't need the newest version of iTunes. I still use version 7.5 because the newer versions didn't strike me as offering anything I needed.
    If you do need a version 10-something then you will have to upgrade your operating system to Leopard (fi your computer will support it) at least.  If you need 10.5 for some reason then there's no getting around it, you will have to buy a new computer.

  • TS3989 My iphone was stolen and I want to get my pictures from the device back.

    My iphone was stolen and I want to get my pictures from the device back. I have iCloud but when i logged into it there was no icon for my pictures so I guess they are not on there for some reason. How can i get my photos back either on iCloud or wherever?

    If your music and books all came from iTunes you can download it again without charge. If you had maintained an iCloud backup of your phone you can restore that backup and get all of your content back.
