I did a restore from my iPhone 4S to my iPhone 5 and now my music won't play. What do I do?
Why won't my music play? I did a restore from my iPhone 4S to my new iPhone 5. The songs all show up on my phone but then do a quick spin, never start, and won't play. Aarrgh... Frustrated!
Could you have backed up to iCloud? If so, you can retrieve your camera roll contents.
-Restore to remove "Other" requires setting up as a new phone (not from your backup).

I installed ios 7.1.1 on iphone 4s and now my phone won't work. what do i do to make it work?
My iphone is 4s. Yesterday at 5am i found the software update 7.1.1 & there wasnt anything that said that this update for iphone 5 or more, so i installed it, but imy phone kept showing me that sign connect with the itunes thing, and i did connect, and so it kept cracking ever second, and now i dont know whether it's installed or not but everytime i open itunes ( connected with my phone ). This i what it tells me ( iPhone Recovery Mode. Your iPhone software is up to date. iTunes will automatically check for an update again 5/1/2014. ) & the only choice i have to click on is RESTORE iPhone. and when i do restore, it tells me restore and update and then i am like forced to restore and update ios 7.1.1 when it's not even available for my device. Now my phone keeps shutting down and when it opens, it only shows the apple sign and then a wire as if telling me to connect to iTunes. My phone has been like that for almost two days now. I went to 3 apple stores near me, the apple experts werent there. & then i went to a shop & the man there asked for 160 LE for updating a software on my phone :/. Why should i pay when it's honestly apple's fault that they didnt say that this update was for only iphones 5 or whatever, why do i even get the update on my iphone 4s when there's clearly no escpae from this "Recovery Mode" and no help from anyone?
Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

When i got the update at first the music would play while my headphones were in. I restored my iphone and now it won't play at all. I have tried to go in the settings for itunes and app store but it also won't load.
Hi Jackson,
Since you have already done a restore of your iPhone, I would suggest that you now try restoring your iPhone to factory settings, set it up again and test before you restore your content. This article describes the process -

I consolidated my music in iTunes and now my music won't play from anywhere on my pc
I consolidated my music in iTunes and now I can't play music anywhere on my pc
Are you saying that before the music was on your iPod and not in yur iTunes library on yr computer and now it is in neither place?
If so then
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
you will have to get other music from where yo obtained them before.
The problem was that you synced the iPod to other than the one syncing computer/library y can have. -
I recently did an update to my iphone 4s and now I have lost all my custom ringtones as well as some music I had loaded. I did a restore and backup but nothing changes. What have I done wrong?
Hello Chance1985,
Sorry for your wait. Okay so let's try re-connecting with iTunes on your computer and syncing your device. This may give you all your stuff back. Sync in Music tab.

My laptop died in the middle of updating my iPhone 4 and now my phone is frozen. What do I do?
My laptop died in the middle of updating my iPhone 4 and now my phone is frozen. What do I do?
First try forcing it to shut down: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds.
If you don't get anywhere, restoring it is the next step:
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector)release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links. -

hey, i need some help with my iphone 5s, i did the update ios 7.0.6 and now my phone will not power on?? can someone please help me!
Hello ABrosz
If you are not able to get your iPhone to power on, try to reset it by holding the Sleep/wake button and Home button at the same time for about 10 seconds and see if it turns on. Check out the articles below to troubleshoot your iPhone further.

I tried to update my iTunes software on my iPhone today and plugged it into my laptop. Before the process was complete, I received an error message saying I had to "restore" my iPhone before it would work with iTunes. Even more importantly, and troublesome, is the fact that now my phone won't even work at all. I can't turn the iPhone on, and all the screen shows is the iTunes icon with a picture of the white power cord. Can someone advise if there is a way to update the software without restoring my iPhone, which will cause me to lose everything on the phone (much of which I have not backed up yet)? Last, is my stuff already backed up by iCloud? I believe I have sellected that option on my phone, but honestly, have never really understood what iCloud is or does. Thanks in advance for any assistance/advice.
why dont someone answering gthis ******* problem..

What can I do without redownloading the songs, since I don't have access to the first computer right now?
Does it give a reason for why they won't play, or is that a secret?
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases. -

I have switiched from an Exchange account (which I just deleted) to a imap account account. But I can't seem to get my contacts to sync from my laptop onto my new account.
What should I do?What do you mean the ones "unique" to your phone? If you were not syncing them with something, they are gone. They are only part of the backup to preserve the list of favorite numbers and recent calls.
Don't worry about having to restore the previous OS. You can not do so at all.
