Installing iOS 4.0.1

Hi All,
I have a MacBook Pro at home that I sync with my iPhone 3G, The 3G is currently running iOS 4.0, I haven't used a windows computer personally for a while now and if I remember correctly I think that if you install an iOS update from iTunes on windows, then iTunes formats your iPod/iPhone for windows and if you install it on a Mac then the format of your iPod/iPhone is Mac... I don't know if this is the situation anymore but it certainly used to be the case that you could see this Format type in the about information,
The reason I ask is, I'd like to install iOS 4.0.1 in work now and I only have a windows 7 pc, it has the latest version of iTunes on it, If I install 4.0.1 on via the Windows PC in work, will this corrupt the formatting or the sync with my MBP?
Thanks for any help,
Regards,
John

It's been years since iPods were formatted for Mac or Windows. The formatting won't change but make sure that you have sync disabled on your work computer will wipe all the contents of your iPhone.

Have Macbook Pro & 4th gen iPod Touch. Downloaded & installed iOS 4.3.2 yesterday. Upgrade went without a hitch, but now iTunes on My Macbook Pro will not open. I get an error that says "iTunes" Data too new to be used with this version of iTunes.

Have a Macbook Pro and a 4th gen iPod Touch. Downloaded and install iOS 4.3.2 yesterday. Upgrade went without a hitch, but now iTunes on My Macbook Pro will not open. I get an error that says --The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes--. I am running iTunes 10.1. I searched for Updates to my MacBook Pro (running 10.6.7), but comes back saying no updates available. WHAT IS GOING ON??

Is your computer still authorized in the Store menu in iTunes?
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
When I changed to my new MacBookPro I had to authorize it although I used TimeMachine to transfer my settings and data.

Apps don't work after installing ios 6

after I installed Ios 6 on my ipod touch 4th two wks ago none of my apps work correctly and I can't even connect to app store or itunes. I get an error "cannot connect to itunes".. also can't connect to safari. I sent my ipod over to apple but because i have physical damage they would not repair. I had no problems with it until i installed ios 6. i have restore back to new and still same issues. thanks for any help!

If you still have the problem after restoring to factory settings/new iPod that indicates a hardware problem.

Cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password. On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

I've not caused any physical or water damage to the 'phone. I would welcome any help/suggestions to get my calls back asap.
Please help.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

I have the same problem. I think that someone tried my iphone before me because when I want to reset it, I'm invited to enter a password that I didn't set. Also, when I go the Map application, the iphone indicate that I'm locateded in China while I'm in Tunisia. Now, I can't connect to my iphone to itunes, and I can't reset it because it ask me to enter a password that I didn't set.

My iPhone 6+ keeps rebooting after installing iOS 8.3

I have a 128Gb iPhone 6+. When I downloaded and installed iOS 8.3 via WIFI, it went through the usual download sequence and then started continually rebooting. After about 20 or so reboots, I got a white screen with a carrier signal on the top left, a location icon and a grayed-out bluetooth icon and the battery level indicator on the top right, and a curious "information" icon (a letter "i" in a circle) at the bottom right of the screen.
I tried tapping on the "i" but got no response. Then the iPhone went into the reboot cycle again. After several reboot cycles, I got the same white screen again. Then the iPhone again started rebooting and hasn't stopped.
My iPhone 6+ has been problematic since I installed iOS 8.1.2. Several random reboots (about 4 cycles, before the iPhone returned to "normal") and some other issues that I didn't document.
I brought the iPhone to the nearest authorized Apple repair center. They said that they could not find any problem and neither could they duplicate the issue I experienced. They recommended that the next time reboots happened that I should make a video of the error. Also, they recommended that I keep all of the apps updated (which I conscientiously do). So I decided to make a log of all the errors since the iPhone was returned to me.
Here are the entries to my log:

Hello Sean,
It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

Trying to install iOS 7.1.2 error message coming up

TRying to install iOS 7.1.2 to iPad error message coming so won't install

Just to make sure are you connected to WiFi?
Try a reset:
- Hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time. When the Apple logo appears release both buttons.
If issue remains try another WiFi network. Alternatively you can try the steps below to update with iTunes on a computer:
First back up: iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
Then Update iOS with iTunes: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

TS2972 I installed ios 7 today on my devices. Not all my devices are letting me view my purchaced movies under the videos icon. All are under the same apple ID.

Installed ios 7 on my iphone 5, my ipad 2, and my daughters iphone 4. Home sharing and icloud are turned on on all devices but the only one that is allowing me to see all of my purchases in the cloud is my iphone 5. It shows all my movies under the videos icon. My other devices say No Content when I open the video icon. Any one else having these issues.

This happened to me as well. All of our purchased(icloud) content shows up on my husbands iPhone 5 and he can stream it wihtout any problems, but not on my iPhone 4s. When first I installed it yesterday some of them showed up but it was missing most of our purchased content on my phone. I decided maybe it was a glitch that happened while updating so I did a soft reset holding my home and power button down. That did not fix it so I restored my phone from the computer hoping that reinstalling the software would fix it. When it was done I went in and there is no content now. Before I atleast had partial content now there is nothing. If I go to the itunes store it shows that I own them and if I click on a movie or tv episode the picture shows up in the left hand corner with a play icon on it but it will only let me play 1 episode and none of the others work. I am so frustrated! I hope someone figures this out:)

My son and I both have iphones with the same Apple ID. Since I installed iOS this morning I have started receiving all my sons texts and when I send him a text it is delivered to both of us. How can I remove my phone from the joint Apple ID and remove myself from finding out what he is up to during Freshers week!

You have to use a different Apple ID for your son.

. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB
