I have a 3gs. I tried to update the ios today. Now my phone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes is not recognizing. I also tried DFU mode, still nothing. I have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled. Help.

I have a 3gs, and I haven't updated it for a long time because I always have issues when I do. I tried to update the ios today, and it decided to update it to 6.1.3 instead of 7, I didn't think there would be a problem, so I clicked ok. When I came to check on my phone, itunes said there was an error with the update, and my phone was in recovery mode (plug-in sign on the screen). I looked up multiple things to try, I tried putting it in DFU mode, still itunes doesn't see it. The computer also doesn't list it under devices, however when it is plugged in the Apple Mobile Support USB Driver shows up in device manager. I have tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling, still nothing. I just want to know if there is anything else I can try. Thanks.

No, it is my phone that I've had since 2009. I just hate updating it because every time I do something goes wrong. So I put it off as long as possible. I am getting a new iphone, but I read that to have your backup transfer to the new phone, it must be a backup from the current ios.

Tried updating to iOS 6, now my phone is stuck in recovery mode...help?

I tried updating my phone to the iOS 6 software, and my iTunes won't read my phone at all. It keeps saying that "your iphone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored." I restored it for an hour and it didn't work at all. Now my phone is stuck in recovery mode. I'm away at college and I don't know how to fix it. Help!

Try Restoring it 3 times in a row and see if that works.
If not that error can indicate one of two things: Your iPhone was at one time jailbroken, had the iOS version rolled back, or ran an unauthorized beta and if none of those things are true it is a hardware error.

I tried to update the iOS and never finished the installation

A day ago i tried to update the iOS of my iPad 2.
Everthing looked good but it never started again.
It's stuck in the tiny apply screen with the status bar under it.
Have any suggestion of what to do?
thank you in advance!!!

Try this and see if it will restart the update. If it doe not work, you will need to restore your iPad using Recovery Mode.
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.
This explains how to restore with recovery mode.

I got this iphone from a guy and everytime i tried to update the applications stored in this phone it keeps asking me the password that the guy used to use, even thou i created a new apple ID of my own and updated the account of icloud and everything in this iphone with the new apple ID, it still asks me the password of the account that the guy used to use whenever i tried to update the applications, and i cant find the guy who gave me this iphone...wt should i do???

Apps are permanently tied to the AppleID that downloaded them and cannot be transferred to another. Best thing to do is delete the apps and download those you want or need under your AppleID.

If you didn't back it up, your data is gone. There is no "solution" after the fact.

Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

Hello I went to wipe my 1st generation iPad and then tried to update the iOS now the iPad won't work at all any ideas what I can do?

You can't update the original iPad beyond iOS 5.1.1 so if you were already running that version, there was no reason to wipe the iPad to try to update.
Won't work at all, doesn't tell me the whole story. Does it power up but not respond to anything? Does it not power up at all? Some detailed information in context would really be helpful.
IF the device will not start up, try a reset. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears on the screen.

Hi Whhsu,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per your query we understood that you are facing the issue with mute button on ThinkPad X230.
The normal procedure for updating the system to Windows 8.1 is that when you are in Windows 8 you have to update all the drivers first and then you have to update Windows 8.1.
To resolve the issue now please download Hotkey feature application from Lenovo support site and install it.
Below is the link to enter the downloads page and download latest application accordingly, please click on "Select Product" then in "QUICK PATH" enter the MTM no. select the exact model.

My iPhone 4 has just shut down. Rang the phone then vibrated for 2 minutes bank screen, will not turn on, also tried charging and will not charge. Any suggestions

my iPhone 4 has just shut down. Rang the phone then vibrated for 2 minutes bank screen, will not turn on, also tried charging and will not charge. Any suggestions? I did download a ringtone app and went on to iTunes to sync!.

Try charging the iPhone via a wall socket for at least 30 minutes then try a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider. Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

When trying to buy it back it states "you have already bought this item".. Is it any possibillity to get this music back? I've used quite a lot of money on all that music and it is no fuin having lost it.

That's almost always because the phone was hacked to unlock it at some point, or because you don't have a SIM card in the phone.
