  • I tried to restore my iPhone 4S and now it is not detected by iTunes

    I recently got the 5s and was going to trade in my 4s to AT&T, so I decided to restore the phone before doing so. iOS 7 was downloaded by iTunes (I was still on 6) and installed on the phone before the restore process started. I walked away from my computer, so either in the process of updating or restoring, iTunes gave me an error message saying that my iPhone could not be restored for some reason (I don't remember the exact error message.) The phone was now in recovery mode (with the graphic of the USB plugging into iTunes) and could not be recognized by iTunes. I put the phone in DFU mode, but once again, the phone was still not recognized.
    My computer recognizes that an apple device is being plugged and unplugged from the computer, but iTunes does not respond at all. Any tips?

    Hello, ctom69. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    There are a couple things I could recommend.  Make sure iTunes has been updated to the most current version and attempt to restore the device.  Next try manually placing the device in recovery mode via the steps in the first article below.  If neither of the steps work, try all of the steps in the attached second article.

  • I have just done a software update and now I can not open my itunes. How can I open itunes?

    Hi, I have a macbook pro os x, version 10.6.8
    While doing a software update, I was asked to quit itunes to download the update. Now I can not open itunes. The icon is still there, but it just bounces up and down when I click on it. What is happening there? And how can I open itunes? Do I need to down load itunes again?

    Look at the Apple ID and the "YOU CAN BE REACHED..." entries. Make sure none of these are shared with your partner.

  • I just restored my iphone 3gs and lost 1 month of photos and phone calls

    Help! I just restored my iphone 3gs and lost 1 month of work photos and contacts.  Please help me get them back!

    How old was the backup? If you restored from a one-month-old backup, then yes, one month's data would be missing and cannot be restored unless you have a newer backup.

    Hi Rhiannon.A,
    Try to reset all setting on your phone and see. If issues still persist try to back up your phone using iTunes and restore it using computer.

  • Just synced my iphone 3GS and now half of my apps won't open on my iphone. I tried the reboot but it didn't help. This is version 4.3.2 . Any ideas?

    Just synced my iphone 3GS and now many of my app's won't open on my phone.  This was with version 4.3.2. I tried a reboot on my iphone but that didn't help. Any ideas?

    this happened to me with my iPhone 4. I researched the problem and found this :
    "The reason this happens is because every time a downloaded app is opened it checks for your itunes password for validation that you are authorized to open that app (as it may contain personal info). From time to time the iphone 'forgets' your itunes password. You can fix the missing password by syncing the iphone with itunes or downloading an app from the app store and entering your password that way.”
    And to fix it, all I did was download a new app, or delete a current one, I used Facebook, and re-download it.
    Hope this helps

  • What shall i do? I've done restoring my iphone 3gs and still stuck on cannot activate and contact customer service.

    I've done restoring my iphone 3gs and still stuck on cannot activate and contact customer service. What shall i do? any help please.

    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

  • HT4623 i have restored my ipad and now it will not activate......any ideas

    I have restored my ipad trying to update to the latest version and now it will not activate....... can anyone suggest any thing

    Hi Griff W, Thank you for your response. I had found that article and did everything. I am on my MacBook Pro right now and this device, as well as my phone, smart TV, the Wii and Xbox are all reading our wi-fi connection (and I can see about half dozen neighboring networks). The issue with the iPad is that no list appears to choose from, much less forget and resign in. It worked fine before the update to iOS 5.1.1. I have tried everything I have read and could think about and come up with the "choose a network" with the thinking wheel just spinning and no list ever appears.

    Hello wedge60,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning device recognition issues:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    If you haven't connected your iOS device to this computer before, unlock the device and tap Trust. Learn more about the Trust This Computer alert.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Restart your Mac.
    Make sure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.
    Check USB connections. iOS devices need USB 2.0 to work properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, check the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Try another USB cable.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

  • I have the i phone four and just uploaded to my computer and now it will not work  has the apple logo with a long oval bar under it

    i have the i phone four and just uploaded to my computer and now it will not work  has the apple logo with a long oval bar under it

    It may be that it is stuck loading. You will want to probably first attempt a Hard Reset (Home Button + Power Button for 5-10s until it restarts with an Apple Logo then let it load up) and see if this will get it working.
