  • Installed ios7 on iphone 4, now my phone wont turn on or recover?

    I downloaded ios 7 over night and it worked fine, but yesterday just turned off and wont turn on again. I connect it to a wall charger and the apple logo appears then goes off and this keeps repeating. I connected it to itunes doing the thing where you hold down sleep button and home button then just home, it starts to restore but the restore is never successful.. i have done this about 20 times or more now and nothing! Different error codes keep appearing and I have tried youtube videos but still unsuccessful! Please help! My phone is relatively new and I really can't afford a new one.
    Thanks!

    Actually, I've found that after installing IOS5, the SMTP configuration for Comcast email is incorrect.  Comcast uses SSL and after upgrading to IOS5, the phone seems to have lost that part of the setting.
    In my configuration, I have an SMTP server set up as follows and it now works:
    Host name: smtp.comcast.net
    UserName: fill this in with your user id
    Password: filled in with your password
    Use SSL: ON
    Authenticaion: Password
    Server Port: 587

  • I updated my iphone 3gs now am receiving a no service error, please help!

    i updated my iphone 3gs OS now am receiving a no service error, what is the problem and how can i sort it out?

    Probably because the phone was hacked to unlock it or jailbroken.

  • HT1688 Updated my Iphone 3GS now it doesnt let me activate!! Help

    Hi I just updated my iphone 3GS and it wouldn't let me activate my phone it says that my server is currently unavabliable? (my phone used to be on Tesco then i made my phone GSM to THREE, would this cause any problems?)

    I don't know what you mean by "then I GSM".  Is your phone a CDMA phone?  If so, did Tesco unlock the GSM portion of the phone to be used with a GSM carrier's SIM card when roaming outside of the country?  If so then I doubt they will allow you to activate it again for permanent use with another carrier.

  • Please please help - I have been trying forums and fixes for hours - I installed ios5 on my iphone 3gs, and it wiped the audiobook i downloaded on my phone in itunes, the worst bit is i just had 30 minutes to go on a 20 hour book!!!

    Audible still shows the book (although i purchased it in itunes) but was playing it in audiobooks, it shows the book there but says no data when i try to play it.
    It shows in my purchase history in my account but not in my itunes library and I really begrudge paying8 quid again just to listen to last 20/30 minutes - but it is so frustrating i have literally spent hours searching blogs for hints and would appreciate any help

  • I broke my screen on my iphone and now the phone wont turn on, if I have insurance will it cover the cost of a new iphone?

    I broke my phone about two months ago and now it won't turn on because I believe there is internal damage. If I bought the insurance when buying the phone will I be able to get a new phone for free?

    You would have to find that out from where you purchased the insurance. Most insurance policies that are sold for cellular phones have a deductible. Only that insurance carrier can answer those questions for you. Look up the papers that you got when you purchased the insurance.

  • HT204053 I have a new Apple ID but my old ID was used on my IPhone , now my phone wont sync with my ITunes

    I have a new APPLE ID , for ITunes for downloading music etc , buy mu IPhone has my OLD apple ID so I cannot sync the 2 even though I have changed the ID in the phone settings

    Not dumb! Tap and hold down your finger on one of the icons until they all start to wiggle. You will then see a little "x" in the upper left-hand corner of the icon. Tap on that to delete the app!
    Cheers.

  • Changed my computer name now my phone wont sync with itunes

    I was trying to connect to a remote desktop software and i changed my computer name.
    whenever i try to sync my phone it shows me a message saying an iphone can be synced with only one itunes library at a time

    I think it means you need to update your iTunes, the newsest version is 11.0

  • Gs broke now replacement phone wont sync at all

    Lost my trusted GS when it fell off my motorcysle and got run over by a car.  I was able to pick up the phone and head over to apple store.  they removed the sim card from my old phone placed it in a new one and told me i should have no problems once I synce with itunes.  Well that was three day ago and the new phone will not sync at all. 
    My old phone synced perfectly.  it ran 3.2 but the new phone has 4.3.3.  Not only would it not download my apps and music but it seems much slower than my old phone.  It even locked up requiring me to power it down/ restart before i could use it again
    What could be the problem.  I have the latest version of itunes and 4.3.3  it connects but will not restore my old nots, music, contacts, I can see the phone in itunes and it shows the new phones apps only.  what happend to my data?

    Something in your backup may be corrupt. Try wiping it and setting it up as a new device, then sync your apps, data and media back to it from iTunes. DO NOT resotre from your backup. If the problem is contained in the backup, it will bring it right back again if you restore.

  • Updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reacticate it

    updated my iphone 3gs to the 5 ios and now my phone wont read my sim card when i reactivate it.
    Every time i connect it to itunes all it says is "There is no SIM card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate." Even thought there is a sim card connected in my phone.

    Is the SIM from a supported carrier?
    Is the device carrier locked, officially unlocked, or hacked to be unlocked?
    Has the SIM been reseated?  If not, try that.
    Also, basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore.  Has any of that been tried?

  • I've installed ios5 on my iphone4 and now all the applications (app store

    Hello,
    I've installed iOS5 on my iphone 4 and now all the applications (app store, books..) are in deutsch instead of french
    even if all my parameters are in french. I leave in Swiss, french part. Thanks for your help.

    I understand.  The Swiss Apple website offers a choice of French or German and you can download a French version of the Swiss iTunes to your computer, but I do not know how you can change the language of the app on your phone. You can of course choose apps and download them to your computer, then sync them to your phone.  http://www.apple.com/chfr/itunes/
    Perhaps somebody here from Switzerland has an answer?

  • Dopo l'aggiornamento ad ios5 del mio iphone 3gs la batteria ha diminuito la sua durata,che consigli mi date?

    dopo l'aggiornamento ad ios5 del mio iphone 3gs la batteria ha diminuito la sua durata,che consigli mi potete dare?

    Dopo la tua risposta quella sera stessa ho provveduto ad eliminare il file ipsw seguendo le tue indicazioni e le indicazioni fornite nel link. Ho configurato poi nuovamente iPhone come nuovo dispositivo. Una volta resettato non ho installato nessuna apps, nessun contatto, niente di niente. Il telefono ha funzionato regolarmente ieri 12/09/2010 e questa mattina. Alle ore 15,30 di oggi mi sono accorto che era bloccato (icona collega a iTunes). Ho riavviato il telefono e dopo il riavvio è apparso il solito messaggio "iPhone attivo". Quindi come temevo NON abbiamo risolto.
    After your response that night I proceeded to remove ipsw file following your directions and instructions provided in the link. I then configured again as a new iPhone the device. Once reset the iphone I have not installed any apps, no contact, nothing. The iPhone has been running smoothly yesterday and this morning 12/09/2010. At 3,30 p.m. today I realized that was locked (icon links to iTunes). I rebooted the phone and restart it appeared the usual message "iPhone activated". So as I was afraid we have not resolved.

    I lost my Ical and some of my contacts after installing ios5 on my iphone and saving on icloud. Please help!

    I had the same problem and just figured out how to fix it.  Go into your setting screen and then iCloud and turn off the contacts option.  Then click on keep on iPhone.  I did this and now all my contacts are back.  YEAH!!!
