IOS 5.0.1 Update - Phone Won't Work (Urgent)

I just updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 5.0.1. iTunes recommended that I should do this. Anyway over 800 megabytes later, and installing iOS 5.0.1 on my iPhone 4S, it asks me to connect it to iTunes, however once I do it displays a message saying "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes". Although, I don't want to restore it as it will go back to the old version of iOS (and a waste of download data) and it will erase my iPhone. Please someone help!! I am unable to use my iPhone!!!

iOS 5 is facing problem with updating after been updated to iOS 5, iPhone is stuck in recovery mode (Apple logo & black screen repeat repeatedly).
You can reset it in normal way of how when the iPhone crashes or locks up that prevents the iPhone from responding to being turned off for the steps follow this link,

  • After iOS 6.1.1 update, phone won't connect to data network

    I've just updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 6.1.1 and now my phone won't connect to AT&T's data network at all. Wifi still works fine, but if I turn it off I have full bars, but no connection to the data network. This worked just fine before the update--what can I do to fix this?

    Same with me. 4s-6.1.1--Airtel-india.

  • HT4623 Updated iTunes to latest version, updated iPhone to iOS 7 and now my phone won't work at all.  Won't connect to my WiFi, and won't talk to iTunes . . . Now what do I do?

    I now have a useless $700 phone.  Updated iTunes to latest version (and can't get it to revert back to an earlier version), updated iPhone (iPhone5) to iOS 7 and now it won't talk to iTunes, nor will it connect to my WiFi.  What should I try now?

    If it won't talk at all to iTunes, you can hold down the power and home button for 10 seconds, it will power off, this is ok, then let go of the power button while holding the home button until iTunes sees it as a device in recovery mode.  You can try to reinstall iOS7 and then restore.

    My phone won't work after updating 7.1

    If you mean the iTunes logo and a usb cable, you need to connect the phone to a computer with iTunes on it.  The device is in recovery mode.

  • I upgraded my iphone 4 OS yesterday to ios 5, today morning my phone is not working, i am not able to click any button and also its not allowing me to switch off the phone and restart. Anyone having similar issues

    i upgraded my iphone 4 OS yesterday to ios 5, today morning my phone is not working, i am not able to click any button and also its not allowing me to switch off the phone and restart. Anyone having similar issues?

    From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
    Take the following steps:
    1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
    2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
    The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
    I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
    Hope this helps!

  • The home button on my phone won't work sometime

    the home button on my phone won't work sometime, ill press the button and it won't return me to the home screen? why is this?
    the phone has 13 gibs of open memory, is there a reason for this?

    Is it stuck, or just unresponsive?

  • My iPhone cannot connect to iTunes. It says I need to update to 11.0.5 to use iTunes with my iOS 7 iphone 5 but still won't work, any ideas?

    I just downloaded and updated to the new iOS 7 software today for it's release. But when I plug my phone into my usb and then into my macbook, it won't work on iTunes. It says it's not compatible and I need to update to the latest iTunes which they say is 11.0.5. When I go online and download the iTunes installer and download the new update, it works out fine and I don't seem to have any trouble with it but as soon as it opens iTunes when the installer finishs, the mesage about compatibility comes up again even though I just updated to 11.0.5. If anyone has any idea, let me know! I'm hoping that maybe it's just a glitch with the new iTunes that needs to be fixed up?

    Hello Apple_Addict22,
    Thank you for your question. iOS 7 requires iTunes 11.1.  First, I recommend trying to obtain the update by going to the iTunes menu and selecting Check for Updates.

    If you continue to get the message that iTunes is up to date, you can download the latest version of iTunes here:

    Once the file downloads, double click on the installation file that downloaded to initiate the installation.

  • HT4528 I keep getting an error when I try to update the software.  My phone won't work.  What is going on with it?

    I received notice that my phone had a software update.  When I tried to do it, it said there was an error.  Now I can only connect to the Wifi at home or if a store has a guest account.  I can't make calls or receive calls.  My text won't work.  I am so confused.  How do I fix my phone??

    Hello mjlamonea
    If the update had an error, then check out the article below to restore your iPhone. It will walk you through putting your iPhone into recovery mode and then using iTunes on your computer to restore it. If you have a back up through iTunes or iCloud, then your can put that back up back on after you have completed the restore.

  • I tried to update the iTunes software on my iPhone today, and now the phone won't work unless I "restore" it.  I don

    I tried to update my iTunes software on my iPhone today and plugged it into my laptop.  Before the process was complete, I received an error message saying I had to "restore" my iPhone before it would work with iTunes.  Even more importantly, and troublesome, is the fact that now my phone won't even work at all.  I can't turn the iPhone on, and all the screen shows is the iTunes icon with a picture of the white power cord.  Can someone advise if there is a way to update the software without restoring my iPhone, which will cause me to lose everything on the phone (much of which I have not backed up yet)?  Last, is my stuff already backed up by iCloud?  I believe I have sellected that option on my phone, but honestly, have never really understood what iCloud is or does.  Thanks in advance for any assistance/advice.

    why dont someone answering gthis ******* problem..

  • 2.2 update phone won't  or get texts

    I have pinpointed the problem. The problem is the WIFI and sleep mode. If you are connected to a WIFI hotspot and have 3G on you will not get calls or texts in sleep mode. Here are the steps to reproduce the problem.
    1) Turn off WIFI
    2) Put phone in sleep mode.
    3) Call your phone, it works fine.
    4) Turn On WIFI but do not use any app that will use the WIFI.
    5) Put phone in sleep mode right away.
    6) Call your phone, again it works fine.
    7) Use Safari or any app that will access the WIFI connection.
    8) Put phone in sleep mode.
    9) Call your phone, this time it won't ring. You won't get texts or VM notifications either.
    You have one of 3 choices to get around this problem.
    1) Never let you phone go into sleep mode. Yeah right.
    2) Turn off WIFI.
    3) Turn off 3G.
    All 3 of these choices are unacceptable but it may help you cope till the problem is fixed.
    I know this is not a viable solution but maybe it will help the dopes at Apple get their stuff together. Every update they put has effected me in a negative way. 1st time I tried to update it bricked my phone and I had to fight tooth and nail for them to give me a new one. This is my buisness phone and I can't afford to miss calls and texts or VM. I had to pay $599(already had contract) for this P.O.S. You got me once Steve but never again.

    I had the same error when I was updating, called and spoke to Apple and was directed to disconect my phone, go into C:/documents and settings/owner/application data/apple computer/i tunes
    Once there I was told to delete the folders "iPhone Software Updates" and "iPhone updater logs" as well as (these will only apply if you also sync an iPod) "iPod Software updates" and "iPod updater logs"
    I was then told to reconnect my phone which prompted a new download of the 2.0 software and it installed without a hitch.
    The explanation I got was that sometimes during download the file can be slightly corrupted so this is the way to start with a fresh download and make sure that the iPhone tries to install from the fresh and not the old.
    Dunno if it is reliable for everyone but it worked for me.

  • 3GS with iOS 4.2.1 update - voicemail no longer working through bluetooth?

    Hi Folks.
    I've been happily using my iPhone 3GS with my Jeep Patriot's bluetooth/stereo system for months (it's called a Mygig). However, I just upgraded to 4.2.1 and now when I connect to my voicemail the sound doesn't come through the system - the iPhone thinks it is sending the audio to the stereo, but the stereo remains idle. So I have to select one of the audio options (phone/speaker) to hear anything.
    If however I make a phone call, or if the phone rings and I answer it, it works fine.
    Even if I use voice dialling to call voicemail, that works through the bluetooth, but as soon as it has finished the voice dialling and actually calls voicemail the stereo goes back to being idle again, even though the phone thinks it's still connected.
    So at present if I want to connect to my voicemail while driving I have to use the speaker. Only for voicemail. Weird!
    I am thinking this is a software update issue, as it worked fine prior to the update, and everything other than calling voicemail works fine through bluetooth.
    It's as if the phone isn't talking to the bluetooth properly when it's dialling the voicemail, which is somewhat of a 'hardwired' thing, given it has its own button. I tried tricking it by dialling the actual number instead of using the voicemail button, but the iphone knew it was voicemail...
    Any ideas?
    PC

    Yah, have the same issues since upgrading to ios421. Pretty annoying... I have two cars, and the issue is same with both bluetooth systems. I am able to make and receive calls but cannot listen to my mobile voicemail.

  • I upgraded to IOS 5.1 and the phone doesn't work right

    I upgraded my phone to IOS 5.1 and the phone functionality doesn't work right.  If I make a call, once connected I go back to the main menu and can't get to the phone controls (including the ones to hang up).  If I receive a call, the wheel comes up, the phone does not ring and I can't answer it.  I tried restoring the phone, but that did not work.  Does anyone have any ideas?
