IOS 7 update bricked my iPhone

As the title says, the latest update completely bricked my iPhone 4. The phone was working perfectly fine before the update.
I payed 700$ for this phone so the question is how do I get Apple to fix this? I checked the site and it's seriously asking me to "purchase" support for this phone. Sorry, I'm not paying for apple to fix their products they broke with their own update.

Is the iOS 8 update safe for iPhone 4s?

After several weeks now, is the iOS 8 update for the iPhone 4s?

Yes, it's safe. While a very small percentage of people have reported problems, those issues are usually tied to a hardware problem or a setting on the device, not an actual problem with the iOS.

When will ios 8 update come for iphone 4 ??

I am using iphone 4 and my version is ios 7.1.2.. when will ios 8 update come for iphone 4..??

iOS 8 will NOT be available for the iPhone 4.

Since the iOS 7 update on my iPhone 4S the pictures I take are all blurred and it's not just mine I know of at least 10 of my friends having same trouble ???

Since the iOS 7 update on my iPhone 4S the pictures I take are all blurred and it's not just mine I know of at least 10 of my friends having same trouble does anybody know why or is anybody else having the same trouble ????

See if this helps you with the wifi issue. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559

HT5503 Every time I try to download the iOS 6 update on my iPhone 4 it tells me there us an error ????

Every time I try to download the iOS 6 upgrade it just tells me there is an error idk why I've tried almost everything I could think of

Try these steps:
There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone (or another iOS device)
See the steps below for error codes 3000-3999.
Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

What exact date can I install the new ios 7 update on my iphone 5?

I Want the new ios7 that everyone is talking about & so many people have it on YouTube & a lot of people are say there's different versions? I just want to know what date the 'Apple iOS 7 Update' is released to the public in Australia.

Apple has announced "This Fall".
No one knows more than that.

IOS 5.1 update bricked my iPhone

I have a 3GS that I tried to update to iOS 5.1 and like the thread title says, it completely bricked the phone. I left it to update and came back an hour later and it said it had failed to restore. Now it's stuck at the infamous USB cable -> iTunes screen. The phone won't connect to iTunes at all. You can hear windows recognize a new USB device, but iTunes never does. I've tried all the solutions I've found on the net so far for entering/exiting recovery mode with no success(holding down the home button and connecting to itunes, holding power and home for 20 seconds then releasing the power button and bolding home for another 5 seconds, etc). I can't even power down the phone. If you hold the power button, it never even brings up the power down slider, so it makes it hard to even test the solutions I've found. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I took it to cell phone repair shop and they were able to fix it by re-flashing the firmware. I lost everything on the phone,
Along with the warranty. "Flashing" the firmware - i.e. hacking it - other than by standard restore methods usually results in an iOS - modem baseband version mismatch.

Warning iOS 7.0.4 update bricked my iPhone.

It was plugged in and a pop-up appeared asking to update. I clicked OK and within 1 minute, it flashed a blue screen followed by the 'connect to iTunes' graphic. I'm attempting a recovery now through iTunes and iCloud.

I can confirm that I had no quote-an-quote unsupported modifications (aka jailbreak) on my phone and it was a perfectly vanilla normal iPhone 5.
It just showed the recovery screen and powering on from the device did not work.
However I found a solution:
Use tinyumbrella (http://www.firmwareumbrella.com/) to forcefully exit out of recovery mode and you'll be fine, running on updated 7.0.4. I'd recommend a full DFU restore after though.
Apple, fix it right now.

Since Ios 7 Update of my iPhone 5 I can not log into any WLAN any more - who can help to solve this major problem

Hi all,
I updated my iPhone 5 recently to IOS 7 - Since then I do not get any access to my home WLAN / WIFI with the iphone 5.
At same time the iphone 3S and IPAD 1 of my wife (both IOS 5.x) still work fine in our homes WLAN / WIFI.
Who can help to get my Iphone 5 with IOS 7 back to work in the home WIFI ?
Thanks in advance for any possible solution.
Best regards
Dirk from Hamburg Germany

Try this first.
On the iPhone go to Settings > General > Reset and select Reset Network Settings.
This will erase all saved wi-fi networks and settings.
If no change after this, try resetting your modem and wireless router. Disconnect the router from the power source followed by disconnecting the modem from the power source. Wait a few minutes followed by powering your modem back on allowing it to completely reset before powering your wireless router back on allowing it to completely reset with the modem.

Battery Drain after iOS 6 Update on my iPhone 3GS -16G

My iPhone 3GS 16G on iOS 6 after update.
2 - 3 hours it's flat & thats from a full 100% (over night) charged phone with no use
& then keeps switching on & off for 20mins or so in charge mode after it's been pluged in to the charger.
Never had a problem on the old iOS 5.1.1 got up to 2 Days on standby .
Never had a problem with my phone ever until the new iOS 6 install.
... GET IT SORTED APPLE PLEASE A.S.A.P

Got onto Apple Teckies yesterday & spent about 1.5 hours on the phone with a very helpfull bloke
that went through everything.
At this stage my phone has been reinstalled with iOS 6 as a New Phone (Like a test mode) so NONE
of my APP's or Settings only my Contacts from iCloud (As a New phone would come out of the box).
... From the time we finished uploading the iOS 6 softwear untill now my phone has only used 40%
battery so it's looking good.
If this works I then have to conect my phone with my iTunes & Reinstall from my Back Up to get all
My App's & Settings back.
... Then we will see if it has worked.
... Will let you all know what happens in the next 48 Hours.

IOS 8 updated on my iPhone and icons in games are so small.

I updated my iPhone to IOS8 and now the icons are really small.

Greetings arthurfrombaltimore,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your iPhone and iPad are both restarting sporadically and displaying the Apple logo. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article and using the information within to continue the troubleshooting process.
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
Best,
Joe
