I have had to update my iphone 4 in itunes and it has now come up with a message, itunes has found a iphone in recovery and needs to restore it.
I dont want to do this as I cannot loose all my pics on my phone!
My phone is now not working and has an itunes symbol on it with a usb cord!!!!
Please help!!

Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, try this a few times if necessary. If still problem, you may have to just Restore your iPhone to get it working. In the future sync your iPhone with iTunes routinely and when it contains important data, iCloud when set correctly will do this for you continuously.

    Everything is Sorted!
    The release of iTunes 11.0.2 and iOS 6.1.2 for my iPhone 4, seems to have sorted everything. I can now sync music, films and photos between my MacBook and my phone.
    I was dubious about blindly doing the updates but decided they couldn't really mess up any further functionality so I went for it and it's sorted now.
    Look in to, and take the gamble, it's up to you.

    Use a product such as OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Google Docs, iWork, or Microsoft Office 2008 or newer. In the case of Word documents, you can also use TextEdit.

  • I tried to update my iPhone 4s to the ios 6 and it wouldn't download and my phone will not work now.

    I tried to update my iPhone 4s to the ios 6 and it wouldn't download and my phone will not work.  I started the download and it said that it had 6 hours remaining, so i just left it overnight.  The next morning it was working fine, but the ios 6 didn't download.  I looked at it later and it had the turning on screen with the loading bar under it.  It stayed like that for a while and the bar didn't move.  I needed to use my phone so I tried to make it go to the home screen, but nothing happened. I held down the lock and home button for a few seconds and everything went black.  I tried to turn it back on and all it has done all day is stayed on the turning on screen.  I tried plugging it into the wall, and nothing happened. I tried connecting it to iTunes, and nothing happened. I don't know what I need to do to get it to work.

    OMG is working OMG OMG OMG Thanks alot dude!

  • Can I set up a 2 (or 3) room audio system? I have iphone 3, iphone 4 and ipad 2 and need to know what hardware, if any, I need for this (airport express?, apple TV?) Also, would I use icloud or home sharing?

    I need to know what hardware, if any, I need to do this (airport express?, apple TV?)
    I simply want to send music from my itunes to 2 different rooms at the same time. Is it possible? I have iphone3, iphone4 and ipad2 if that helps.
    Also, would I use icloud or home sharing? Sorry for the noob question, any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    The answer is not if you use iTunes.
    The TC is NOT an iTunes server.. it is not a media device at all. It is a backup location for Time Machine.
    You need a computer in the network which stores the iTunes library and you can then play it via the ipad.
    A mini with a large USB drive plugged in will work fine.. it doesn't need to be new.. a couple of years old mini will work just as well.
    As an extention to this, can we use multiple Airport expresses plugged into mutiple sound systems to simultaneously access different music from the same time capsule?
    I am not sure.. there will be network limitations to this.
    Look up how to use itunes in a network.

    You would do better perhaps posting the question in iTunes section.. if as I guess you are actually using iTunes.

  • I use Magic iDVD to burn complete movies and have started having a problem multiplexing and burning. I need to know what I can do about it so I can burn my movies.

    I have been burning movies with iDVD for several years and once in a while it has trouble multiplexing. Usually I can fix it by doing a combination fix of turning off my laptop and unplugging for 20 minutes. Then when I'm ready to turn it back on, I plug it in, wait five seconds then turn it on. I then clean the disc drive with a dry brush cleaner disc. That has usually done the trick. Not any more. I'm stuck and don't know what else I can try. I have plenty of space on my hard drive, about 70 GB, which has always been sufficient for burning discs. If there is anyone out there whoi can help me, I'd sure appreciate it.

    This post by Bengt Wärleby discusses many potential multiplexing issues: Multiplexing Error: Apple Support Communities
    Also follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Just got back from Paris and Israel and this update got my iphone 5 in recovery mode !!! please somebody tell me that I did not loose all my pics and videos !!!

    Please somebody help me !!!! I just got back from Paris and Israel and this update got my iphone 5 in recovery mode. I can't loose all my pics and videos from my vacations ??????????????????????????????????

    NOO it's not broken it is a software error. What you need to do is put your phone into what is called DFU mode or Device Firmware Upgrade Mode. What you have to do is connect your phone to itunes but do not start the sync process. Ignore any popups from itunes initially. When you are connected to itunes take your phone and hold down the home button and power button at the same time. Hold them down for about 30 seconds or so and you should see your device screen rollover to the black screen and disconnect from itunes once this happens it will reboot and automatically connect to iTunes, after this happens start the restore process through itunes and it should continue past the error message.
    * Also before you do this try ejecting your sim card if you have the at&t model if you are on Verizon ignore this. There is a small oval port on the right side of the phone with a small pinhole. Use a paperclip and insert it into the hole, the door will pop open. Take the door out, remove the sim card and wait 5 minutes then return the sim card back into the phone and begin the above process.
    If none of this works you may just want to bring it the genius bar and have them look at it. Good Luck and I hope this helps!

  • I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought.

    I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought. I connected my iPhone to my computer and sync'd it hoping that it could download my purchases from the itunes store and then put them back on to my phone but no such luck. When i look at my iphone on my computer and look at tones, they do not show up at all. However, if i click on the "On This iPhone" tab and click on "Tones" the deleted ringtones and altert tones show up...they are just grey'd out and have a dotted circle to the left of them. I also tried to go to the iTunes store on my phone and redownload them and it tells me that i have already purchased this ringtone and asks me if i want to buy it again. I press Cancel. I know when i do that with music it would usually let me redownload the song without buying it again but it wont let me with the ringtones...so how do i get them back? any help would be greatly appreicated

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

    This is true.
    All of your content should be on your computer in itunes.  If it is not, then transfer it there, so you can sync it back.

    Back from where?
    You choose to not copy them off to a computer as they are designed to be.
    If they are no longer showing in iCloud, they are gone.
