I'm trying to erase everything but it's been loading all day. Help pls
Hi, I'm trying to erase everything from my iPhone so I can sell it and I selected the erase and everything (I know I sound very technical) and after clicking confirm the black screen with the white spinning circle came on. I left it for a couple of hours and it was still spinning so I thought it was stuck and reset it holding the buttons. When it came back on everything was still there so I tried again this morning at 10 and then went about my day, I just checked it and its still spinning! I know it said it can take a few minutes but its been 11 hours. Has anyone got any ideas? It's the second time it's doing it so I don't think just restarting will help. Does anyone know any other ways to wipe the phone? As you may have gathered I'm not that great with technology so if you've got any ideas explain them as simply as possible please lol. Thanks in advance x
Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings should take under 10 seconds on 4S. If it takes longer there's data corruption on the phone or the phone is jailbroken. What you have to do is restore the phone using iTunes and set up as a new phone. THEN go to settings again and Erase all content and settings.

My install of maverick failed as disk is damaged and cannot repaired. I tried to erase disk but got error disk cannot be unmounted. Please help. What can i do? Thank you very much.
First have you got a backup of your data? If not try to get one now while you have some access to the drive. The drive is probably faulty and will need to be replaced, without the backup you risk losing the data.
Have you a bootable external USB drive with Mavericks on it, if so boot from that and try and repair or erase the drive and reinstall Mavericks.
If you don't have Mavericks on an external drive, boot from you Leopard DVD ( I am presumimg your profile is correct) and run Disk Utility from there, you may be able to erase the drive and reload Leopard. You can then install Mavericks. Even if all that works you will most likely need a new drive in the near future. -
I erased everything on my iphone and lost all my contacts pictures and everything else how do i get the contacts and pictures back from my itunes account?? ive tried restore its like it gave me a whole new iphone thing.
If you plug in the iPhone to your computer, any contacts ect that you synced with your computer with sync back with the iPhone when it is selected in the iTunes menu under info. Anything that was added without syncing was lost, I'm sorry. A good future solution is to get iOS 5 when it comes out this fall, so you don't need to manually sync contacts, its automatic!

I just installed this update and now I cannot access "Mail" at all. I tried reinstalling the program, but that does not work, either. Help!
Paldeng, thanks for the suggestion. I've done all that. I can connect to the server, but apparently they are not recognizing my ID and password. I can use the server program if I don't go through Mail (using the same ID and password). My mother in another state with another provider has had the same email issue, as also my husband on his laptop who uses the same internet connection I do. His worked fine until we had it repaired at the Apple store and all the original programs reloaded (with the required updates, I assume). We can receive email in Mail, we just cannot send.
I contacted my service provider, and we went over my connections. They said it was not their problem and connected me with Apple, resulting in a charge to me because my warranty is long expired. Apple swears it is not their problem, it is the provider, so here I sit. My son was able to fix my Mom's Mail (she's 97) and got my husband's working also, until mine went out, by tweaking connection descriptions and ports remotely. The thing is, we had not messed with any of those settings, so what changed? I just did not want to bother my son again, as he has many other demands on his time.
Since this fiasco with the Mail v4.6 update, I'm wondering if something else was updated that works well with Lion and Mountain Lion, but does not work well with Snow Leopard and Leopard. I think the problem I had with the Mail update was that my Mail program had been renamed to Mail (original), and therefore was not being recognized by the update. Perhaps they had another tweak in there somewhere that is affecting outgoing mail connections? -

You should be posting this in the Developer Forums, to which, as a developer, you have access. Discussion of beta software isn't permitted in the public forums due to the NDAs you sign as a developer.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. After you update to iOS 5.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

error(cannot connect app store)Any error codes or messages?
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open it.
Or...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitiion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Permissions.
Re-install if that doesn't work. -
I turned on iTunes Match, and subscribed; but it did not load all of my library. How can this be corrected?
iTunes Store: Subscribing to iTunes Match
After looking through the above link, and still doesn't help then try this below:
> iTunes Content: Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
> Non-iTunes Content: Transfer them from a different iDevice or from USB flash drive and/or external hard drive.
I don't use iTunes Match so I don't really know.
