Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Do not worry. Hold Sleep (the button you have at the top of the phone) and Home buttons at the same time until your phone restarts, and then try installing the iOS update again.

  • My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new itunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted when i sync it to my new account?

    My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new i tunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted whin i sync it to itunes after purchasing new music?

    I have the same problem (deleted email account). I think I mistakenly set up an account when I was buying an Apple product online, not realizing that it would be the same ID as my iTunes.
    What is the way to actually contact Apple?
    I have been clicking around in circles for hours! Will I have to pay them to resolve this? I don't have any products still have applecare . . .

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    Also
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

  • I bought a second hand ipod 4 and it's not letting me sign into icloud. A message saying the five free accounts have already been registered to this ipod.? what can I do?

    I bought a second hand ipod 4 and it's not letting me sign into icloud. A message saying the five free accounts have already been registered to this ipod.? what can I do?

    From a previous post:
    UPDATE:  it is possible to remove an iCloud affiliation from a device when the maximum number of free accounts has been used.  I used the "reset and erase" option from Settings | General | Reset | Erase All Content and Settings.  When this was finished, the iPod was like new - not just "restored" as we can do within iTunes and I had done with this device - it was legitimately restored.  I signed in with my son's newly created Apple ID and it was accepted and now the device works like a charm.  It also still uses my Apple ID and password for the iTunes and App stores, however I have restrictions in place to prohibit him from downloading or buying any content.  I hope this helps anyone else that has reported this question.

  • I need to retrieve an email that has been deleted from my computer and iCloud, please help.

    My mail preferences were set to delete on iCloud after 30 days. How can I get a copy of an email that has been deleted ? I have changed the settings to never  now but that didn't bring any back. Thank you.

    No, not unless you have the email somewhere else as well. It's kind of the same thing with my devices, I delete an iMessage but if I search it in search it pops up, but I can't access it.

  • I can't figure out how to log off of my daughter's iTunes account that has been loaded to my PC.  When I want to sync my iPhone, I get her data, not mine.

    Hi, Abril_Perez17.
    This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default.  Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.  See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled.  This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

    If you don't know the sender, then it is most likely a scam or spam email. I get them every day - I just delete them. I also get daily notices from Facebook or someone called Adriana at Facebook even though i do not have an account there. Can't do anything about it - just delete it.

  • The account "sadmin" has been deleted out from under us!

    We have a new Intel Xserve we recently set up with 10.6 Server. Initially we ran OD, DNS, and DHCP only on the machine while our file shares continued to run on our older 10.4 Servers. When I moved our Xserve RAID (Formatted off of the old server and onto the Xserve we started experiencing issues where after approximately 24 hours we would have authentication issues connecting via SMB or AFP. Also, when I tried to connect via ARD or SSH I was unable to authenticate. Sometimes I could SSH in as root but others I would have to go to the console directly. A reboot clears the issue but about 24 hours later it comes back.
    Looking at the console I see:
    3/5/10 8:08:58 AM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[187] (com.apple.PreferenceSyncAgent[58171]) The account "sadmin" has been deleted out from under us!

    Any ideas on this? Daily reboots are annoying.

  • Error : Period dimension 'Period' is missing a Base Time Period member 'Jun' that has been deleted since the last deployment. Base Time Period members cannot be deleted once the dimension is deployed

    HI,
    I am using V11.1.2.2 Hyperion Planning. I am currently getting an error:
    Error : Period dimension 'Period' is missing a Base Time Period member 'Jun' that has been deleted since the last deployment. Base Time Period members cannot be deleted once the dimension is deployed
    This is what i got when i tried to add alternate hierarchy to my shared dimension. I tried to delete it and it messed up.
    NOw it wont deploy my application.
    Can any one suggest.
    Thanks in advance
    Cheers,
    XXX

    EPMA!!!!! EPMA!!!!
    I'm playing around with it to write a blog post and it is crazy. Only possible workaround (till now i'm not able to figure out a solution to it) is to copy the application and deploy it as a new one. Take copy of all objects (forms, tasklist etc). Delete the corrupted application and rename the new one to old.

  • Why does Epson app for the iphone show a folder that has been deleted from my camera roll?

    Why does the Epson app for my iphone 4 show a folder that has been deleted from my camera roll for months now?

    Thanks @pdroth. I did a quick Google search of DB indexing. I'm not sure I found exactly what you were referring to but I see where you're going with it. I can understand that indexing my database of stored photos can be time consuming. It's frustrating that the space can't be recognized as being free more quickly.
    I notice that some items I delete seem to free up the space much more quickly. Removing an app entirely or deleting from my Music generally shows up as available space in Usage pretty quickly.
    Deleting a photo or video from the Camera Roll will take MUCH longer, so I guess that has something to do with the indexing process you are referring to.
    I'd like to point out that when I run out of space on an SD card on any budget point and click digital camera that I can quickly delete a picture or two and INSTANTLY be able to take a couple of new photos in their place. I guess I just have that same expectation for the $500+ engineering marvel I have in my hand right now.
    Thanks for chiming in.

  • Is there a way to retrieve a text message that has been deleted from my iphone?

    Is there a way to retrieve a text message that has been deleted from my iphone?  I did't delete the message but after i synced my phone the message was gone.

    No, the app doesn't use Safari.  The app is AutoDesk Inventor Publisher Viewer.  I think there is a way that you can have a publish Inventor file, and if you create a correctly formatted hyperlink, you can click on it and it will immediately open the file in the viewer.
    I know that if you offer the file as a standard download, iOS will ask whether you want to open it with Inventor Pub. Viewer or save it to another app that can accept files.  I would prefer to skip the prompt, and just open the viewer.
    I've heard mention that this can be done with this application, but I can't find reference material anywhere.
