  • I tried to update my iPhone 4S to ios 8, and now it wants me to restore it...

    I tried to update my iphone 4S to ios 8, but it turned off and now the screen only shows that I have to connect my iphone to iTunes. Upon connecting, it says I have to restore my iPhone. I've never actually had a fond memory of restoring my phone i  the past, so i'd rather not have to do that now. Is there anything I can do to fix my iPhone without restoring it?

    As you were told in your previous post asking the exact same question, no.
    You must restore your iPhone.  The answer will not change no matter how many times you ask.

  • I have tried to update my iphone 4s to 8.1 and now it is in recovery mode. Now when I try to restore in hopes to get it back to normal, it extracts the software, re installs the device driver, and then tells me that the iphone cannot be found.

    It has been doing this for hours now and I would just like to fix it.

  • Last night i tried to update my iphone to the new version and now i believe i lost all my old files...please help me?

    Can someone please help me understand how I can get back my missing files on my iphone after the update?

    If no backups were made then your stuffed. Harsh reality unfortuantly and a perfect example of why you should BACKUP before any update/ restore. It takes 30seconds!
    Article HT1414 details these steps. Simplu stick that into apples search bar and it will give you the article.

  • HT5457 I tried to update my iPhone 3gs over phone service and now it shows the apple logo like I just turned it on. Then the screen goes black. And it just keeps on repeating. So what do I do?

    The Apple logo just flashes on and off and that keeps on repeating what do I do?

    Plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.    

  • Tried to upgrade my iPhone 4 to 5.1 and now it is  stuck in "plug into itunes mode" after trying to update to iOs 5.1 and receiving error (1).

    Tried to upgrade my iPhone 4 to 5.1 and now it is  stuck in "plug into itunes mode" but will not recover when I plug it in. It is coming up as "unkown error (1)". Is there anything I can do?
    Also, is there any way to recover pictures I have not yet backed up? They should be on iTunes, but do not show up when I plug the phone in or otherwise.
    Is there any hope in saving this phone or is my best bet contacting Verizon or Apple to overnight me a new one?

    From iPhoneWiki:
    Try changing the USB port (the back one of chassis is better) and restart computer.
    The installed version of iTunes may also be too old. Update iTunes.
    Also put your iPhone in DFU mode when doing the above and restore. It's a software error.

  • My iPhone 4 has been dead for 24 hours and it has been charging for 12 hours. I have tried holding the home and lock button down but it still has the black screen, what is wrong with it? It just randomly died on means won't turn back on

    My iPhone 4 has been dead for 24 hours and I've been charging it for 12 hours and it still won't turn on. I have tried holding the lock button and home button down, even connected it to computer but nothing's happening, it randomly died on me.

    Hi Lauren,
    When troubleshooting power issues, we want to make sure we have followed all steps outlined in the following article:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    - Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    - Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    - Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    - After at least 15 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    - If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    - Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
    restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    - If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I updated my iPhone 4S to the iOS6 and now my music in the cloud will not show up

    I updated my iPhone 4S with the OS6 and now my music will now show up on my phone. I have abotu 11000 songs in the cloud. I can see them on my computer- they are all still there- but they don't show up on my phone at all. PLEASE  HELP ME!! I am panicking just a bit.

    My phone is doing the same thing, I have sprint and they went through all their troubleshooting and nothing worked. Then they transferred me to apple technician. The apple technician went through more troubleshooting and eventually suggested I wipe my phone. I wiped my phone, then using itunes and my phone I was able to get it into recovery mode. Once itunes recognized the recovery mode, it asked me if I wanted to recover my iphone. I went through the whole process, and got everything back. The phones network came back unfortunately not for very long and it was back to searching for the network without me being able to call, receive calls or text. Its been going on for almost a week now since I upgraded to 7.1 and no one can fix it...I want to know how to revert back to 7.0.....

    Updated to Adobe Muse 2014 this morning and have worked in it for the last 8 hours. Now when I try to publish the updated site to Business Catalyst for my client to preview it crashes everytime. I have tried just publishing altered files only, then tried the whole site again, and then tried publishing as a new site altogether. Thought I would then try to export as HTML in the hope of uploading the files via an FTP client and Muse crashes and locks up again. I am extremely stressed about this as I am in the last few days of of website I have been working on now with no issues since December. We are due to go live and my client needs to see it. I am desperate for an answer. It is not looking good. I am on an Apple Mac and have not had any isses publishing it for the last 6 months. Not very happy to say the least. Need desperate help.

    Hi Zak, I got onto Adobe Customer Care Live Chat this morning and gave them the error message. After some trouble shooting with them it appears the older archived file of the site still publishes. I have now reverted back to the old file and copied and pasted out of the new file and from some ideas given to me by support I am now able to publish to Business Catalyst. It seems there was something corrupt within the new pages added yesterday. I have no idea if this would have still happened if I hadn't updated but I am glad it wasn't a Muse specific problem. I am loving using Muse and the support from Adobe has been excellent. Thanks everyone. By the way I do love the new version and apart from this hick up that lost me a few hours, aged me some more and gave me grey hair I really love Muse. Thanks again.

  • While updating my iphone software it got intruppted and now showing connect to itune not getting restored

    while updating my iphone software it got intruppted and now showing connect to itune not getting restored please help

    Try doing a hard reset on the phone;
    1. Hold Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time;
    2. Wait for the Apple logo to appear (ignore the slide to Power Off option)
    3. Let go of the buttons when you see Apple on the screen
    4. Allow iPhone to reboot;
    If you are still unable to get the phone to power on, charge, or connect to iTunes; it could possibly require service. (hardware replacement)

    I updated my itunes this morning, and now I keep getting an error message when trying to burn a disc. Any ideas how to resolve this?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
