IOS 8.1.3 update has caused my iPhone 4S to die.

Does anyone have a similar experience?  After setting up my phone to install iOS 8.1.3, it crashed midway through the install and asked me to plug into iTunes for a restore.  This worked after many failed attempts, however the phone did not work as well as it should.  After about 20 hours of use, the phone gave up and the iPhone logo is displayed.  I tried a hard reset and that didn't work;  I tried holding down the home button whilst plugging in the charger cable whilst connected to iTunes/computer and that didn't work.  So i think my phone is well and truly kaput.

I finally managed to restore the phone back to factory settings after 24 hours of hassle.  I waited until the battery was flat, and held the home button whilst plugging it into iTunes and waiting until the computer recognised the phone.  This did take five attempts, but it finally has restored my phone.

    Hi abbiesetty,
    If your iPhone is showing the Connect to iTunes screen and you are unable to restore because your iPhone isn't being recognized by iTunes on your Windows machine, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • Email Account Problems after iOS 5.0.1 update on iPad 2 & iPhone 4

    After finishing the iOS 5.0.1 update - I have noticed none of my email accounts are working (i.e. Error saying Incorrent Password or Username).
    I have deleted the associated accounts and added them once again, verifying both username and passwords as well and now it will NOT verify any accounts on both. Still no luck on both devices.
    Odd that both devices email accounts stop working after the new update?
    Anyone know of a fix/problem?
    Thanks!

    Same problem, this happens with any Safari site that requires a user name and password to log in ... frustrating!  I have also posted this issue and will be stopping by Apple on my way home ... I'll let you know what I find out.

  • My daughter did the latest iOS 6.1.2 update on. Her iPhone 3 and its lost several photos

    My daughter did the latest iOS 6.1.2 update on her iPhone 3 and its lost several photos, apps & contacts.
    How can I restore her phone or retrieve this missing data.
    I did the same update on my iPhone 4 and its fine

    What happened when you connected your iPhone to your computer while running iTunes on your computer? You should be prompted through the restore process. If it doesn't work try getting your iPhone into Recovery Mode.

  • HT1695 iOS 6 update has caused wifi to not work

    Need help on rectifying a problem when I updated my iPhone 4 to ios 6 caused my wifi to stop working or it even scanning won't even let me switch the wifi on?

    This is usually hardware error of WiFi Chip. Try Settings App > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. See if fixed. If still problem, Restore iPhone with current iTunes on computer. If still problem, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send iPhone to Apple for resolution.

  • HT4623 Since updating to ios 7.0.6 it has caused the sounds on my iPad Air to either be distorted, none at all in headphones or when locking it almost sounds like a whining drill.  What am I meant to do with that got it pretty soon after it was released

    It is completley strange (did the update yesterday evening 5/3), I realise this is likely to be a bug, the iPad Air has no dirt in the headphone or speakers, have checked.  It sounds just like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnL1OjDQcLM 
    I don't know however if they experience the same with the headphones, I do find that if I fiddle with the mono settings and left and right balance I could get the headphones to work perfectly again, on off with the sleep button and home button seemed to clear the silly noise on the stereo speakers.  I dont really want to keep messing around with the settings to get it to work, I would assume that the update for the SSL bug fix is the problem as when I applied this update the issue started, I had made NO other changes or install of apps and had only used it for browsing e-mail and music.
    This should not happen and would like to know what Apple intend on doing to resolve this and when??

    Try using Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.

  • IOS 7.0.4 update has ruined my phone

    Problems the second I update ios7.0.4 to my iPhone 5. At the beginning the phone blinked out, freeze then  shutting down and reset itself. Non stop. Every five minutes freeze, blank out, then a few seconds later apple pops up. Reset the phone on computer, erased and started fresh, did not help. Finally it just quit and everything worked as normal . Was excited when I notice my battery wouldn't die. Stayed 90% all day. Then I found that was a lie. The only time my phone tells the real amount of battery is if you hard reset. Then you will see the battery life and the phone will stay at that new percent. I can tell when I'm down to 10% because the phone start to reset over and over as I use it. Once it is fully charged it will begin the same process with constant shut down until the battery dies enough and it will run normal till I hit 10% again. Can not use USB when plugging into radio because it also charges the phone which again causes it to reset itself over and over. Anyone else having this problem? Is there a solution?

    Try these coupe of steps see if those help you.
    1. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Netowrk settings OR Settings>General>Reset>Reset All settings.
    2. Insted of updating try doing a clean restore, this slove most of the problems people are facing. Always prefer to do a clean restore rather than updating the iOS.

  • ITunes 11.3.1 update has caused subscribed podcasts to stop downloading.

    Before this most recent iTunes update, my subscribed podcasts were updating fine. Then after the most recent update to 11.3.1, my subscribed podcasts will not download. Neither via automatic download or when I manually refresh the podcasts. This is exactly the bug that the release notes claimed the update was supposed to fix.
    The only workaround that I have is to open the podcast page in the iTunes store and manually download the latest episode from the store.
    Any ideas?
    iMac, OS X 10.9.4

    My problem is exactly as you described, except one of the podcast feeds I have is not in the apple store but directly elsewhere. I was able to view the RSS feed and it was updated wednesday (3 days ago) with a new podcast, but itunes has yet recognize it. I even exited and restarted itunes. It won't refresh the podcast. Since it's not in itunes store, I can't manually select the podcast from the store.
    I was able to manually download the podcast through the RSS feed's source code, and drop it into itunes (so I could watch it on my apple TV).
    Apple is really going down the sh*tter if they put out a release causing the very problem they claim to be fixing.

  • The latest osx update has caused keychain errors on my macbook pro...what should I do?

    I downloaded and installed the latest osx update last night (10.9.2) and now I'm getting login errors when trying to download emails and keychain errors when using Google Chrome or Safari. I have no idea how to solve the problems caused by this update. My macbook pro is older - 2008. Help, please? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

    I should have clarified above....."keychain errors", not just login errors. Thanks again.

  • TS3147 Apple updates has caused my browser pdf plugins not to work and my print function not to work.

    After download the Apple updates for printers for OS 10.6.8, I cannot get the Adobe plugins in my browsers to work.  Safari will open but it has a cross hatch over it making it unreadable.  Other browsers will not open pdf files.  None of them will save the file to my computer.  What needs to be done?

    I went to Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plugins and then deleted  "Adobe PDF ViewerNPAPI.plugin".  This was the most recent plug-in addition from the update.  Doing this allowed me to view and save PDFs from the internet to my computer. 
    However, I have spent HOURS trying to figure out how to print!  I have an Epson Workforce 435 series and everytime I try to print I get an error message that "rastertoescpii failed".  I have downloaded open source drivers and deleted and reinstalled epson drivers from the CD as well as the internet, among many other things.  I wish I could find a solution to this because it is making me crazy.  Any help would be great!

  • Iphoto software update has caused it to crash with no access to iPhoto?

    We have a Macbook Pro (March 2011) and a week ago iPhoto said it needed to do an update, it got to 100% of 9 steps then just crashed.  Force quite after several hours did not help and I can now not get access to iPhoto as it keeps trying to update and gets to 81% of step 5 of the 9 steps, then crashes again. I have read that I may need to uninstall Iphoto then reinstall it using start up disks, however we never got these with laptop as Iphoto etc was already loaded on. I do not wish to pay for Iphoto when there appears to be a fault either with laptop or software unecessarily and start something which may not be required.
    Computer says all software updates are done and Iphoto software page says we are up to date, so don't even know why update is still trying to run?
    Has this happened to anyone else, and is there any quick remedies?
    Many thanks

    I have been having the same problem with my iphoto
    this appears everytime I open my iphoto. I just installed Lion and updated to the new sotware. All my photos are still in the computer and I am able to upload them to sites, but I cannot open them in iphoto. There are two users on my mac and the other user can open iphoto. I don't know if it is because I have over 5,000 photos that are in my library and it can not handle all of the pictures. Previously I have had problems with iphoto crashing, but never has this message appreaed and i have always been able to go back to my pictures. Thank you!

  • SSL patch update has caused many issues with my iPhone 5c

    Since the patch update completed, my iPhone is acting ridiculous. I cannot use safari. Every time I try to search something, it tells me it cannot connect to server. I also cannot delete voicemails. Once I delete, the phone freezes and the voicemail is not deleted. It comes back from deleted messages. When I hit the phone toggle button, it opens up my recent call list but it opens to the calls from Thursday, the day I did the update. It also deleted every text message that I had sent that day from my text history. I have shut the phone down, what other options do I have?

    I have actually talked to a couple people that I know that have the 5c and it seems like it is a hit or miss. Some people have problems with the blue ones, im having issues with the white one, some people have no issues att all. COnsider your son luck that he has no problems. I have had problems with 3 different whote 5c over the coarse of 4 months now and contuining to have problems.

  • Itunes update has caused my library to be updated

    This has taken up to an hour on both recent I-tunes updates- why is it doing this? what is it doing? I will not update again if it continues in future- there should at least be a warning and option to cancel and start it later.

    it tries to up date my library and then I get a message that iTunes has stopped working and this keeps happening and starts again on its own with the same results
    soliscjw, if you're getting that message during the library update, that sounds like an issue either with your existing library file or one (or more) of your content files.
    There's advice on troubleshooting those two possibilities in the following document:
