I was updating my iphone 4 to the latest iOS and computer crashed
Now it wants to restore to factory settings. I did sync before updating but now it is stuck on restoring and isn't progressing at all. How long should I wait before I freak out? It has been almost half a hour and the bars aren't moving at all
An hour later and still hasnt done anything, or moved at all. Anyone got any ideas?

When I was updating my iphone to the new iOS at the final part (when the syncronization is beind done in iTunes), it never finshed. It's been more than 1 hour and it says "syncronizing step 2 of 4". What to do in this case?

I updated my iPad with the latest iOS and despite backing up all the information prior via iTunes, my iBooks application was deleted along with a hundred important PDFs on it. Is it possible to locate these missing files? Urgently require assistance. Thank you!
Hi Sam,
I understand where you are about being your own IT department, it can be overwhelming ...
What drives to buy depends an awful lot on how you will use them, what your budget is, and your preferences.
In the case of your DP Powermac, for online storage used primarily for editing, I would add one or more internal drives first. Look for drives that are at least 7200rpm and have at least an 8MB cache. 10,000rpm/16MB cache is even better, but more expensive. Seagate Barracudas have always been good choices.
For backup purposes, I'd pick some good external FireWire drives; you can also use these for online editing, lots of people do. Your Mac has both FW400 and FW800 ports - either kind is fine but if you get drives that support both, you would want to connect them to the FW800 port for the added performance.
In my experience, the Lacie d2 Extreme drives have been very very good. In fact I have 3 of them daisy-chained off my iMac G5 right now and they work flawlessly with FCE. Weibetech and Granite Digital drives are further upscale in performance and price. RAID configurations would be even further upscale. Do stay away from consumer level hard drives, however ... the Western Digital MyBook series & no-name drives come to mind ...
Don't use a FireWire hub for your external drives, it's just asking for trouble.
ps. And thanks for your nice comment about me. I'm happy to help, as are other folk in the forum. -

I recently updated my iPhone to the new iOS and it no longer works with my inbuilt car bluetooth. Is it possible to restore to my previous iOS system?
Delete the pairing and then re-pair the devices.
There are no supported methods to downgrade the iOS. -
The title says it all. My phone simply will not respond to anything!!
did you let the update finish? You'll know when you see IOS 6 on the screen. If it did you can try a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release then wait for the phone to boot back up.

i can't use my iPhone after i updated it. It says that "your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting you iPhone to iTunes to activated it, or try again in a couple of minutes" and the iTunes says that "There is no sim card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate. Please disconnect and insert a sim card in the iPhone." i've already done what it says but it still no use. what shouls I do?
This happens when a jalbroken/hacked phone is updated to iOS 6. Your phone is now bricked. You will never get it activated.
You need to buy a new phone. -
I have a windows 8 computer and have recently updated my ipod to the latest ios and it has wiped my Ipod clean except for my photos. whilst trying to get my music back using different sources like CD's and stuff i cant seem to get any album art to load on my Ipod? I can go on itunes and highlight single/multiple items and change the artwork and my computer will confirm it but when I look on my Ipod it doesnt display any art work or allow me to change the artwork that is already there? i need help please!
Album artwork can be added/changed on songs via the iTunes Get Info menu item from the File menu. Note that music that you loaded from CDs will not have any artwork. If you want to aquire artwork you can try the File menu item Library > Get Artwork or you can download artwork from the internet, etc. Note that just changing artwork on your computer won't affect the iPod until you sync.
If the artwork is correct on your computer iTunes then delete all the music on your iPod by syncing with iTunes with no music selected. Then reload the music onto your iPod by again syncing with iTunes with all the music you want selected. -
Please kindly help me out.... i just update my iphone to the latest os but i was unable to set my phone up now
Did you buy your phone unlocked from Apple or did you have the original carrier unlock it? Or did you have some third party unlock it for you? If the latter, and you are trying to set the phone up with a different carrier than the original, you're going to have problems as the update most likely reversed the unauthorized unlock.

I was updating my iPhone 4 to 6.1 and it froze. It has an iTunes logo and picture of a usb port on the screen. It gave me the option to restore settings, which I don't want to do. Now the phone is frozen. Any ideas how to get the phone back?
Im sorry to hear that. You need to restore like brad said.
But you can restore from a latest backup from itunes after restore. I hope you had a recent backup made.

Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
