Installed ios5 on my iPhone4 - phone reset completely!!!

Installed ios5 on my iPhone4 - phone reset completely!!!
I connected my phone to my computer last night and iTunes asked me to install ios5... I left it running and woke up this morning to the silver iPhone screen asking me to reconfigure my phone. iTunes doesn't see the phone when I plug it in. How do I get it to pick up my phone?
Does the backup include text messages?

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?

    Where did you get the phone? If it was previously locked to a carrier and was hacked/jailbroken to use it on a different carrier, updating the phone has re-locked it to the original carrier. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize and unlock.

  • Install iOS5 to my iphone4, but cannot get past Connect to iTunes

    After installing the iOS5 system to my iphone 4, after synching through iTunes, the phone is locked on the "Connect to iTunes" page; cannot go any further. HELP!

    Two things to consider when talking about routers - Reset means to return the router to factory settings - i.e. just like the day you took it out of the box. Reboot means to remove the power and then plug it back in. There is little need to Reset the router unless you really messed something up. Rebooting it, however, will clear up any errors that the router may have had.
    To fix your problem, you need to do a few things:
    1) Find out if your router has issued you an IP address. When you appear to be connected, tap Settings > WiFi > and then the blue ">" next to your network name. You are looking to see if the router supplied the touch with an IP address, subnet mask, router IP address, and DNS addresses. Chances are, you are going to see that some things are missing and your touch IP address starts with 169.x.
    Next, run through the following 3 step process:
    1. Reboot the router
    2. Reset the touch network settings - tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Connections
    3. When the touch restarts, tap Settings > WiFi > Other and then re-enter your logon information
    Check your touch WiFi settings again. If you IP address still starts with 169.x, then you have two things to consider. If you are using WEP, then changing your encryption to WPA2 would be the best router. If you are using anything but WEP, then upgrading your router firmware would be the way to go.
    Write back if you continue to have problems.

  • Uninstall & install iOS5 on iPhone4

    I have an iPhone4 having size of 8GB. When I connect iPhone to iTunes, It shows me total space 6.37 GB.
    Q.1 ) If apple says 8GB, where is the remaining space then ? It should specify somewhere that 1.73 GB being used by iOS system. Why is not specified anywhere ?
    Q.2 ) My iPhone shows 2.3GB space as OTHERS ! I don't understand this others space & apple has not specified what OTHERS mean !
    Q.3 ) Is there a way to clean up OTHERS space ?
    I tried many different ways, I removed all of my audio/sounds from my iPhone & synced.
    I removed my MAIL account associations & I removed most of the apps from my iPhone to recover the Space.
    But OTHERS is yet allocated to 2.3 GB. very ****** & iOS itself taking 1.73 GB
    So, this way, Half of the iPhone memory is being used somehow without my knowledge.
    I am allowed to use only 4GB of my iPhone. Why the h--l is this ? I feel pretty bad about this.
    I am wondering, If I remove entire iOS5 & install iOS5 on my iPhone4 again, that should work.
    I have an iPhone4 which is Factory UNLOCK piece. Neither jailbroken nor unlocked by any illegal activities.
    My iPhone is PURE phone as Apple gave to me. ( Virgin one )
    Q.4 ) How do I completly clean up my iPhone ( As I do system Format on my PC ) ?
    Q.5 ) How do I re-install iOS5 ? ( Please I don't need any updates here. I am very much happy with iOS5 only )
    Eagerly waiting for replies.
    Hoping for favorable response.
    Thanking you all in advance.

    Protip: Storage capacity in technology always refers to the actual unformatted/raw capacity. Actual formatted capacity will decrease storage space differently depending on the file system.
    Even on bandwidth and net speeds advertised by ISPs or carriers, they usually are theoretical speeds that exclude all sorts of real world variables.
    Back on topic:
    The iOS partition is approximately 1.1GB on an iPhone 4. (8GB-1.1GB) I've got an iPhone 4.
    Let's assume the disk format is eating 400MB. (6.9GB-400MB =6.5GB)
    iOS settings/user profile data/ and other misc data usually accumulates on the phone at 30-80MB if it's healthy. Let's take the raw figure before installation of any apps as 6.3GB. So it's fair.
    On your other point, excessive other data is usually a result of incomplete installation of apps that are not purged out of the storage, you can call it a bug.
    Sometimes "Others" can be ridded through
    Restarting the phone.
    Installing another iOS app.
    Syncing with its host computer probably up to 10 times.
    If nothing works, it's unfortunate that your computer backup file might have also stored the "Other" junk as part of your data.
    To start afresh,here's a discussion which probably will help.
    In the future, if you're installing an app, try to download an app only when you're at a stable connection to prevent recreation of "other" junk.
    "Other" data (iPhone) - How do I remove this junk?

  • I have installed iOS7 on my iPhone4. I am able to add/edit contacts by clicking the "contact" icon. But when I am trying to do the same after clicking the "phone" icon, it is not displaying the keypad. I believe it is a bug in iOS7. Please confirm. iPhone

    Hello jayanand,
    You may need to force close all open apps, then restart the phone. If necessary, you may need to reset the phone after that.

    Hi, to get your iPhone  4 back to normal, here're two ways for you.
    1.  Use Dr.Fone for iOS. The free trial version can fix iPhone screen of death. The free trial version can do that, you don't have to pay.
    Just download and install this software on your computer and connect your iPhone 4 to computer with a USB cable. When it detects your iPhone 4 is abnormal, click Restart the device to get your iPhone 4 to be normal.
    2. Use iTunes to fix it.
    Step 1. Make sure that the latest iTunes is installed on your computer.
    Step 2. Plug into a USB cable to connect your iPhone4 to computer.
    Step 3. Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time for about 10s.
    Step 4. 10 seconds later, release the sleep/wake button. But continue to hold the home button until a message comes out, saying "iTunes has discovered an iPhone 4 in recovery mode, you must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes".
    Step 5. Click your iPhone 4 in the left sidebar to show the device control panel on the right. Then, click Summary.
    Step 6. Go to Backups section and click Restore Backup.... In the drop-down list, choose a backup file and restore to your iPhone 4

  • When trying to install ios5 on my iphone, I get error message that there is a problem with backup, if I continue with update all data on my phone will deleted. I cancelled the update and phone is fine. Anyone know the cause?

    When trying to install io5 on my iphone4 I get an error message during the updtae that there is a problem with backup and if I continue with the update, all the data will be deleted from my phone. I cancelled the update and my phone is fne. Has anyone else experience this? What is the cause/solution?
    Yhanks!

    DON'T DO IT! Read the threads ... there is a MAJOR problem with updating iPhones 3GS/4 to iOS 5.
    Take it to the Apple store and ask them to do it.
    I repeat: DON'T DO IT YOURSELF.

  • I had whats up installed on my 3g I phone and after resetting factory settings to hopefully upgrade to 4.3 it won;t let me download whatsupp saying that I needed a 4.3...still could not upgrade to a 4.3...Help

    I had whats up installed on my 3g I phone.   I was trying to upgrade my software to 4.3 and I was told that I had to wipe my phone and then reset to factory settings.  I did that still could not find an upgrade for 4.3 and now my phone is telling me that I need 4.3 to install whats up, when It was previously on the same phone....help anyone?

    You need to either reload a compatible version of it from an iTunes library which contains it, or sell the iPhone and put the money towards a newer device. An iPhone 3G can't be updated past 4.2.1.

    Go back to that article, ignore the instructions for updating it wirelessly, scroll down, and follow those for updating it from iTunes on a computer.

    Yes, the phone will still be connected to your Verizon account. In order to remove it from your Verizon account, you will either need to activate another phone on that number or disconnect the number.

  • My iphone won't work after fatal error occurred installing iOS5.1 have followed allsteps to reconfigure software onto windows still no phone just a usb and itunes picture on screen

    my iphone won't work after fatal error occurred installing iOS5.1 have followed allsteps to reconfigure software onto windows still no phone just a usb and itunes picture on screen

    Connect the phone directly to the computer, not a hub.
    Disconnect all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
    Disable your firewall
    Disable your antivirus
    In iTunes if it recognizes the phone click "Restore"
    If it doesn't recognize the phone:
    Disconnect the phone from the phone end, leave the USB cable plugged into the computer
    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen turns black, excactly 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP but continue holding the HOME (If an Apple logo appears you have held SLEEP too long; do it over)
    While holding HOME connect the cable to the phone
    As soon as iTunes recognizes the phone release the HOME button and it should restore.
    If neither procedure works note the exact error message and post it.
