I cannot get my phone to update or restore and it will not power on

My phone went to do an update - it took 4 hours. It now will not update, restore or power on and my computer does not recognise the details of the iphone on itunes. Help!!!

The iPhone is not legitimately available for sale in Oman. If you believe it needs to be serviced or replaced, you will have to take it back to the country where it was originally sold.
The problem you describe does not sound like ha hardware issue. You may want to try restoring the phone using iTunes first and see if it clears up the problem.

My iphone 5 is frozen on the screen that shows a cable and itunes symbol. I can not get the phone to enter DFU mode and itunes does not recognize the phone when plugged in to itunes. The phone was mid update when it was disrupted....

I plugged my iphone in to do an update and it was mid way through the update when the phone was accidentally disconnected. Now the phone is stuck on the screen that shows a cable and the iTunes image suggesting the phone needs to be plugged in to iTunes. I have plugged it in, powered on and off, attempted to enter DFU mode numerous times all with no success. ITunes does not recognize the phone and I continue to only receive the screen saying I need to plug in to iTunes.. Please help!

Hold Sleep Button with Home Button toghether until it restarts Always it takes 8 to 15 seconds, after it restarts leave the sleep button and remember do not leave the home button it automaticlly switches to DFU mode.

I cannot get my bluetooth to turn on. My keyboard will not connect

I cannot get my bluetooth to come on. I use my wireless Apple Keyboard at school and then brought it home from school. It would not connect so I thought I could turn my bluetooth off and then turn it back on and re-connect it. But, it would not turn on at all. Any help would be appreciated!!
How can I turn the bluetooth on and re-connect my keyboard?

Ok so here is the update.......... Swapped out the iPad for a new one, via AppleCare warranty. Downloaded my backup, upgraded to current iso, problem solved. Although at first glance this seemed to be a software problem, it appears based on the outcome that it was a hardware malfunction. Thanks for everyone's input. Hope this helps someone with similar problem.

Cannot get lion to complete download before pausing. It will not resume. Go back to app store. Install. Get same result. Help?

I have attempted to download Lion multiple times. Somehow it pauses during download and will not resume. I begin again at App Store. Start the install over. I have attempted this numerous times without success. Not sure why I cannot get the download to resume and I don't know why it pauses to begin. Estimated time to download....6.5 hours UGH. Help?

Your system should be OK. I suspect the issue may be with your Comcast service. Have you tried downloading anything else, for example navigate to 10.6.8 Update Combo and see if you can download that OK. If that works OK then you can go to the Mac App Store and navigate through their Support. You can find a link to that in the Mac App Store Quick Links.
The problem is we don't know where the problem is. One thing you can also do is find a free app on the Mac App Store and see if it will download OK. If it does then you should contact AppleCare or visit your local Apple Store or AASP for some help.

I cannot access the music via my iTunes account and it will not download all of them. If it matters, I have not gotten the new update yet.

I go to school and I would like to be able to listen to my music on my laptop versus using my iPhone or iPad. Only some of my music had been downloaded and I cannot download the rest. I have authorized my computer through my account several times but I still cannot get all of my music on it. I have the 128GB but storage is not an issue as I use a flash drive (16GB) and I have access to external hard drive (1.5TB). How can I get all of my music to actually download to my MacBook?

Hello JeremyPoolaw84,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
In order to list to your music purchased on iTunes on your computer, you will need to first download those songs. To download your previous purchases from the iTunes Store, please follow the directions in the link below.
Download previous purchases on Mac or PC
Make sure your Mac or PC meets these system requirements:
iTunes 10.3 or later
You need iTunes 10.6 or later to download previously purchased movies and TV shows.
iTunes account in a country where iTunes in the Cloud is available
iTunes Store
Open iTunes and go to the iTunes Store.
Click Purchased in the Quick Links section.
Select the content type that you want to download (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books).
Select Not in My Library to view purchased content that isn't on your computer.
Find the item that you want to download. You can browse using the menu to the left. If you have more than 2,000 songs, you'll see Recent Purchases instead of All Songs or Albums.
Click the Download icon next to the item you want to download.
If an item is already in your library, the Download icon won't appear.
Download past purchases
Cheers,
Alex H.

I cannot get onto my iCloud to manage my storage, it will not let me access iCloud from my system preferences

I am trying to get onto my iCloud account to renew my storage for the year, but I cannot access it. When I go to System Preferences and click MobileMe, I get an error message that says I cannot connect to the server. Is there another way to change my storage plan?
Thanks!

You can only pay to continue your free extra storage from System Preferences on a compliant Mac or from Settings on an iOS5/6 device. If you cannot access either of these then I'm afraid your choices are to go to http://icloud.com and delete as much data as possible to bring yourself below 5GB (assuming you are indeed over it) or to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion - you have less than a day to do this, which doesn't make it an advisable course of action.
If you decide to upgrade, what you can do depends on your Mac's specifications. If you are on Leopard you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first (Intel Mac required).
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

Plugged phone up to the charger and it will not turn back on

Last night when i was going to bed i plugged my phone up to the charger and it started to update with the newest software which was 7.1.something? and this morning when i woke up my phone was turned off and will not turn back on, when you attempt to turn the phone on it flashes a screen that has a blue dot and a picture of the charging cable and just says i tunes. How can I fix my phone? I am trying to download itunes to my computer now but not sure it will fully work.

rhughes18,
I am sorry to hear about the issues you are having with your device after the update. To fix this you must plug your device into the computer with iTunes open and go through the activation process. Let us know if the device comes back on after plugging it into iTunes.

I just updated to iOS7 and Pages will not print using AirPrint!

Like the title says, Pages will not print. It's just a Pages issue. I can print using AirPrint when I print things from Safari or photos stored on my iPad. I've tried rebooting my router, "forgetting" my wifi connection and hooking it up again, I've exited Pages completely (so it's not running in the background) numerous times...nothing is working.
Strangely, Pages finds my printer just fine and goes through the motions of printing. It will tell me the usual "connecting to printer", "preparing printer", "now printing"...but nothing happens with the printer. It's like the connection between Pages and the printer gets lost somewhere. Pages used to print just fine before I updated to iOS 7. Whether that's just a coincidence or not, who knows. Has anyone else had this issue and found a solution?

I Also have the exact same issue, did you manage to resolve the issue?

Updated to 3.6 cannot get gmail or youtube in bookmarks,uninstalling and restarting does not help still cannot get g.mailor my you tube account

upgraded to 3.6,lost all access to google for g mail, you tube and facebook,said ssl unsecure connection. This has never happened before and have been on firefox for years.

Hello Ian.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

Help my phone was fine turned off and now will not turn back on!!!!!

Hi Everyone, I am a grandmother who is very new to these smartphones. I got one of the droid incrdible 2's by HTC. The phone was working fine until one night I turned it off and went to bed. Upon waking found the phone would not turn back on??? Has anyone had this problem??? I mean I get nothing!!! It powers on or something because if you look real close you can see the screen is barely lit. You can make out a blue looking screen, no apps or nothing. I have tried taking out the battery and I just do not know where to go from here. If anyone can help me please direct message me. (email has been edited out for the members privacy) Thanks so much, Sistereagle

The same thing is happening with mine. Went to the Verizon store ... said it was a faulty battery. Low and behold none of the stores in my area even had a battery in stock. Have had to wait 5 days for it to come in the mail. Cost me over $30!!!!!! Anyway ... after about 15 min.of the rep trying different things, the phone finally came on .... barely. He told me to keep it plugged in. It actually started working fine for almost a week ... now its doing it again. Battery came today .. gonna give it a try. Apparently this is an issue with ALOT of people with this phone. WHY DOESN'T VERIZON ADDRESS IT!?
Makes me rethink my choices when my contract is up in February. May do some shopping for a different carrier! I have been a Verizon customer for forever ... you would think they would make this right!

I restored / updated my 3gs and now will not activate

why does my phone not work after update /restore

I suspect you didn't read wjosten's reply. The activation server is not down. Your computer or your actions are preventing the activation. To be more specific, the possible causes are:
1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
2. Your phone is jailbroken.
3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.
