I was updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 7 and while updating there was an error and the only way toturn it back on is restoring it. is that the only way?
I was updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 7 today and before I did, I backed my phone up into iCloud. Then while it was updating an error occured and now itunes is telling me the only way to power up my phone is to restore the whole device. Is it possible to power up my phone without restoring the whole device? Or without loosing everything?
Not if the error says to restore in iTunes. You should have made a backup before the update, so you should be able to restore to that backup. But with the device in recovery mode as it is, there is no way to backup anything at this time. If you did not make a backup before updating then you can only restore to your latest backup, whenever that was. If no backup at all, then you will have to restore the device as new, losing everything.

every time i try to update my iPhone to IOS 7 it wont because of "Unknown error (3199) Any1 have any ideas? i have done that Drivers thing and it still doesnt work
Ios has not been released. It is available in test version only to registered developers.
If you are a developer then you nkow better thatn to post this here. You should use your credentials to log into the developers forum.
If you are not a developer then you are illegally downloading the software. -

When I updated my iPhone to IOS 5.0 software, it deleted my apps and I do not know why.
When I downloaded the newest 5.0 IOS software update, it delted my apps for no reason. I do not know how to get them back or why they were deleted in the first place. Please help!! I paid much money for many of my apps and I expect apple to do something about it.
This may be an error caused by the update. You can try to sync your contact information with iCloud and backup the rest of your data and then restore the device and see if it starts to work normally again.

Okay so before my itouch was jailbroken then all of a sudden it deleted all my songs and when I plugged it back into the computer itunes didn't recognize it so I had to restore it to factory settings deleting my 20+ apps . After I did that I jailbroke it again since the hardware was basically brand new, then while it was syncing i transfered a song and it interfered with the sync and deleted everything so I upgraded it once again. Now I have't jailbroken it and it the same thing has happened TWICE. Everything is fine and I plug it in and my computer recognizes it cause its charging but Itunes says there's and error and it simply doesn't recognize it and makes me restore it to factory settings DELETING everything. Now I'm scared to buy apps because if this happens again it deleted everything thousands of songs I have to put back manually etc. What is wrong with my itouch? Is it the itouch or the itunes because my itouch is no longer jailbroken and working fine. I took it to the apple store and they told me they couldn't do anything about it because it was working fine on their computer. -_- HELP?!!! I'M tired of this happening.
brendan.blaine23,
which version of iTunes is currently installed on your MacBook Pro? -
My Itunes will not open due to a missing file, MSCVR80.dll. It tells me to reinstall the software. I downloaded the installer for my windows 7 system. When I try to install it tells me there is an error in the install and to reinstall.
Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

I bought an iphone 5 from one of my friends and unluckily I had yet lost his contact, I had update this iphone to IOs 7 and now it's be locked at iCloud because there was no password . Actually I dont know what I must do for its. Experts, please help me!
The friend who sold it to you needed to clear his Apple ID off the phone before he sold it to you. Of course if it wasn't his phone in the first place then he could not do so. He is your friend but you don't know where he is?
There is nothing that will help you short of getting the password for the Apple ID from your friend. If you cannot obtain that there is no workaround. -
I updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.5 and I lost my messages and camera app and other apps i downloaded from app store. I was having the problem of losing apps since before I updated to the latest IOS. I have tried enable and disable restriction, connecting my phone to my laptop and sync from my computer and none of them is working. What should i do?
Often when this type of thing occurs with missing default apps it is due to a situation where you are unable to 'see' the apps. If you will go to your front display of your device go to settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen layout.
This reset allows for your apps that have for whatever reason been hidden in such an area as you arn't able to find them now to be returned to the area as which they were when you first had the device.
As far as the missing Apps that were purchased through the Apps Store if you will go to settings>itunes and Apps store and click where it reads about automatcally downloading apps clicking on the toggle switch AND clicking on the toggle switch which allows for cellular data to be enabled this then will effectively automatically download all apps to your device that was purchased from the App Store.
Good luck friend. -

my problem is that since I update my iphone 4s ios 8 and then restore it and when I connect to itunes does not sync my music only applications
I had a similar issue and I was told that my iTunes match was on.
I had to disable iTunes match on my iPhone.
Following which - after you plugged in your iPhone to iTunes, select your iPhone on iTunes menu. You should see a summary page of your iPhone where it provides options to update or restore. On the bottom there should be an option to select "sync only selected music/playlists". I can't remember the exact wording. Once that's been checked, select your iPhone's music tab and it should allow you to select the music playlists you want to sync. -
Since updating my Iphone to ios 8, my hands free in the car (Radiosat) is not working correctly. The phone pairs ok with car, and my phone is recognised but then it cuts off the radio and says that I'm in a call, I can't cancel the call or do anything. I have taken my car to my local dealer but they say the Radiosat is working ok?
Hello there stidhambr15,
I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.

Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

just updated my iphone with iOS 7.0.2 and when I call or people call me, only one party can hear the other. Would you know how to fix this problem? Thanks
Hi Apple_Mom,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you've noticed issues after updating to iOS 7.0.2, you may want to first update to iOS 7.0.3 which was recently released.
