IOS 8.1 Update Gone Bad

Hi all. I have an iPhone 4S and I have returned from France. As soon as I got back my phone wanted to update so I just done it without thinking. I've never had a problem till now. Right so the phone seems to have rebooted in DFU and I have a whole load of pictures from France I need of the unit. When I plug my phone into iTunes I get two options. 1 Recover iPhone or 2 Update. If I update will it keep my phone as it was?
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Some security software prevents your iPhone 5 from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your iPhone 5. Thus, please read: Resolve issues between iTunes and security software
If nothing is wrong with security software, you can try some recovery tool, like Dr.Fone for iOS to get your iPhone 5 back to normal. Install the tool on your computer and connect your iPhone 5 to computer. If Dr.fone detects that your iPhone 5 is in abnormal mode, click the Restart the device button on the window of Dr.Fone. Then, your iPhone 5 will be back to normal.
Besides Dr.Fone can scan all data on your iPhone 5 and save them to your computer. or,after your iPhone 5 becomes normal, you can also use iTunes or iCloud to backup data .

Software update gone bad

I started uploading the iso6 or whatever that is. Before it was done I had to leave the house so the update just stopped when I got out of my home wifi network. Whatever I do the "apple" logo just stays on in th emiddle of the screen. When I got back hom I tried plugging it into the computer and launching itunes, but Itunes did not recognize the device. I have tried rebooting it several times which takes the "apple" logog away for a few second then it comes back on. Even if I hold the sleep button to turn it off, nothing happens. I am at a total loss. Obviously I should have let the iso6 version 6 update finalize before leaving the house, but if anyone has any input to help me it would be appreciated.

Dr. Nugs:
Have you tried downloading the standalone update and installing?
Cheers

UPDATE GONE BAD! I ran the new update and my phone only has a picture of a USB and the I Tunes Music note? I plug it in and it says I must restore to the original setting losing everything? Is there hope?

Can anyone help me get my phone working and retain my data? I Ran the latest I Tunes update (6.0)and my phone (3GS) froze on the USB Itunes screen and my computer I Tunes says I must restore to factory settings losing all data?

Yes I had the same problem with my iPhone 4. What I did was connected my phone to my computer. itunes popes up and said that they have discovered a iphone in recovery mode. it asked if i wanted to update and restore. I clicked yes and it download the ios6 update on iTunes on my computer and then did the update on my phone through that. I got the same message and I thought that I would lose everything too, but I did not.

W510 bios update gone bad -- help please

Just went through a montly (+/-) update process through System Update.
Updated BIOS in my W510... along with a host of other things.. but from what I've
read i fear its the bios.
all went normally (as it always has).. machine rebooted after update.. stopped at the thinkpad
splash screen. Just hung there. I left it all day (figured it was doing something?) came back
at night, it was still hung.
tried to force reboot.. i got two beeps.. then three beeps.. nothing happened.
every time i pressed power button.. two beeps.. pause.. three beeps.
took out batt / restared .. no screen.. HD spins / fan spins / power light is on.. but machine
seems dead.
Anyone have any ideas whats going on? how to fix? was it the bios update? can it be rolled back?
Thanks in advance

Were you trying to use http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-74858 ???
If so, we bricked several machines at the beginning of April and asked Lenovo to remove the update. I see that hasn't been done. Maybe now they will.

Bios update gone bad

I have a T60 and I just tried to update the BIOS using the following utility from Lenovo:
Version:                  7IET33WW (1.14)
Release Date:        2008/04/25
File link                   7iuj12us.exe
File size                  2,781,304
File description     ThinkPad BIOS update utility
After the utility completed the update, I followed the instructions to restart and verify the version. After hitting F1, I am presented with a lock icon which has a screen beside it, which I believe to be a prompt for a power on password. Not knowing what it is since I never had one set up, I try my windows password and that of my wife's which we use on the computer (set up when we set up the fingerprint log -in). Nothing works. I can hit enter and access the BIOS setup, but no changes can be made in "user mode" (I never set up a Supervisor password either).
I did read/try the solution which Mark_Lenovo (Admin) posted in other threads regarding removing the battery and backup battery, but it did not work. What is funny is that the power on password is only requested when trying to access the BIOS, I can log on and use the computer normally with the fingerprint reader. I just can not access the BIOS.
I am hoping others who had similar problems might have had better guidance on how to proceed. My initial call to Lenovo proved to be less than comforting stating that even the POP can not be reset and can only be fixed by MB replacement at my cost.
Thanks in advance for any help.
System is a T60, type 8743, WinXP, T7200, 2Gb, current BIOS after update 1.14 (7IET33WW) dated 2008-04-16, Embedded Controller Ver 1.07, old BIOS version unknown, system build Dec 2007.

Lightroom Update gone bad

Yesterday I upgraded to LR 5.4, and ever since I"m getting the message that says Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit. Lightroom will attempt to fix this problem the next time it launches. I found a similar question in this forum, and the answer was to delete the previews files -- which I have done, but I am still getting the same error message. Rebooting hasn't helped either. HELP! I'm pretty much dead in the water until I get this fixed,.

I found the folders called Lightroom 5 Catalog Previews.lrdata and Lightroom 2 Catalog Previews.lrdata inside of my lightroom folder (which was inside of my pictures folder) and deleted them and all of their contents. (It scared me to remove so much info, so first I copied them onto a separate external drive just in case.) Could there be another folder that I'm missing?

My 13" early 2011 macbook pro is having trouble connecting back to internet after going to sleep. before updating to EFI 2.7 it was perfect now after updating its gone bad.

Same issue here too. I will try reinstalling the firmware update. This has happend to me twice. The only way to correct the issue was to reboot.
Thanks!

I just updated my iphone to ios 7 and updated itunes to 11.1. Yesterday I noticed I couldn't move music from my library to my iphone. Today I noticed that most of the music on my iphone is gone. What do I do?

I don't see how the AAC Version thing really applies here - the issue seems to be with
the time it takes for "Preparing to Update" to run when adding new songs and
the fact that a bunch of songs can get temporarily deleted from your phone, then need to be recopied over.
I should also add that I'm using iTunes for Mac (OS 10.6).
And Linda0410, if you view your phone's library in iTunes on your computer while it's copying, you should be able to see a bunch of grayed out songs, and there will be a little indicator on the left hand side of each song that's currently being copied.

Acura USB Connection Problems After iOS 8.2 Update

I have a 2014 Acura MDX and prior to the iOS 8.2 update, I could play music either via Bluetooth or the USB connection through the iPod "source" (though the USV connection had far superior sound). After the update, the USB connection doesn't work anymore. Same cables used and the iPhone picks up a charge so it is not a bad connection. Anyone else having the same issue?

this happens also to me. Opel Astra / GM version in Europe.
8.2 totally killed audio via USB cable. Connecting results in "no supported audio files found"

Has my M1424WR router "gone bad"? - and its replacement "bad" out of the box?

I've had Verizon FiOS service for about 3 years now, and have had very few problems with it. A few times I lost internet or TV during storms when lines came down somewhere, but that's about it.
The FiOS installer gave me an Actiontec M1424WR router and access port, with a coax connection to the outside box. I have a multi-room DVR setup (2 DVRs that can "see" each other, and a third read-only STB), so as I understand it I have to use the Actiontec (good bye to my old Linksys router used with my high speed cable service).
I have 4 computers attached directly to the router and up to 8-10 wireless devices (cell phones, tablets, wireless printer, gaming devices, streaming media players, etc.) on my home network. As such, I reset the router's SSID to the same one I had before, with 128-bit WEP security (a 16 char hex key). I also am "advanced" enough to know how to go through the advanced settings and start the DHCP address allocation to start at 192.168.1.100 to allow several of my devices (network storage drive, wireless printer, gaming systems, etc.) to maintain locally static IP addresses like 192.168.1.3 through 192.168.1.9 that reconnect when the router is reset or rebooted.
All this worked beautifully for about 3 years, until last week. The wireless network started dropping out - not just external internet access, but seeing other hosts in the home network - requiring a router reset to come back (or just a disable/re-enable of wireless service via the router settings at http://192.168.1.1). However, the "Wireless" light on the router remains green.
Even the wired internet connection (the computer hooked up with an Ethernet cable, right next to the router) would lose its internet connection for 5-10 seconds at a time before resuming. The multi-room DVR functionality would get spotty, too - until a reset, boxes couldn't see each other, playing back data from another box would be very slow or not come up at all.
After 4 goes of it with Verizon support via chat and phone (the experience of which I won't go into), which included a remote reset of my external access box by Verizon, I concluded that the router must have gone bad.
Last night, I went in person to a Verizon service station near me to swap the router, got back what they said was a "brand new" M1424WR, and installed it... To get the same problem, actually worse. The wireless drops out in about 5 minutes, the light is still green but no wireless hosts can ping each other or anything on the wider internet (like using Speedtest). I can use my wired internet fine (no hiccups there, yet) but my multi-room DVR is not 100%, two boxes can see the other two but one of the DVRs can only see itself.
It seems unlikely but I have to believe this is still a problem with the router box itself, and I just got yet another flaky one back, right? Nothing in my home network has changed (no new devices, services added, firmware updates, etc.) from last Tuesday when it was fine.
Any other ideas for me to try?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, I traced it to a "radio problem" with a client device. It was a "Belkin F5D7330 802.11g Wireless Ethernet/Gaming Adapter" I was using to connect a network printer that has only an ethernet port to my wireless network (so I wouldn't have to run CAT5 cable to where the printer is situated).
To do this I had to remove/disable ALL my wireless devices and computers, then add them back in one by one... It was frustrating because I'd forgotten that printer was actually connected wirelessly, I was used to thinking of it as connected via an ethernet cable since I "knew" that's what the printer supported. I even unplugged my 2.4 GHz wireless phone base, which I actually believed to be the culprit. I only remembered the printer's wireless adapter after everything else was removed.
But once I unplugged the Belkin's power, boom, my wireless network was back to normal! And plugging it back in caused the problem again. So it's bye-bye Belkin.

After iOS 8.3 update, apps stuck on OPEN on App Store Updates page

Did the iOS 8.3 update by backing up my iPad Mini in iTunes then doing a "Restore". I did that with the last update and all went fine. This time, it appears to have gone well except that I had some apps that had updates pending after the Restore. After doing the updates, when I go to the App Store "Updates" page, I still have 4 of my apps listed there with the button option set to OPEN. On the upper right corner it says "Updated August 18, 2015". Yesterday when I did the update was Saturday April 25, 2015 - go figure. When I tap them they all open but they never leave the page. One post said to wait until an app had a valid update pending and see what happens after I update it, so I'll need to wait to see if that works. I have searched this community and tried all suggestions: changed the date set to manual and push it out over 30 days. That did not work. Did a reset. No luck. I even did another "Restore" thinking maybe that would resolve it, but they came right back. The puzzling thing is that in all of my searching, I have found apps stuck in differing states of "waiting" or "downloading", but none of them have mentioned seeing the apps with the OPEN option visible. I did delete the apps and that made them go away, but I'd prefer to keep them. Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks in advance...slog

If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

Photo Quality gone bad

Yesterday upgraded my Ipohone3GS to IOS 4 software. All went off smoothly but have realised the quality of the existing pictures has gone bad except the ones in the Camera Roll folder. All are looking blurred. Any ideas!!!

Resync your photos and everything will be fine.

Can any one help with new iOS 7.1 update?

Hello,
I have recently downloaded the iOS 7.1 update and it has being causing problems with the iPhone 4s. The problems are as follows;
No Wi-Fi connection all, and in full range of a connection (If and when I connect its for 10 seconds and gone again)
Battery Life depleting quickly
iPhone freezes constantly
iPhone getting extremely hot when not in use.
Is there anything that I can do that can help with this or will I have to wait for the next iOS update?

If I restore as new without the backup & everything seems to be fine, I assume I would then have to restore it from my latest backup in iTunes in order to get all (or at least most) of my data back.
From what I have read, it looks like at least the music I have on my iPhone 4S that I put there from a CD I own would not be in my backup. That is not a major problem, since it is only 1 CD.
It also seems like the iTunes backup is more complete than the iCloud backup (I do have both).
So, I should probably be restoring from that backup.
Is there anything else that is not backed up in an iTunes backup that I should consider before I do that?
When I backup in iTunes (or even in iCloud), some items not backed up?
Wouldn't I then have to re-install those items that are not in my backups?
I have a Medical app from my local ambulance operator where I have taken a ton of time to input all of my medical information going back numerous years. I just got tired of some medical person constantly asking me for information one never really makes a point of remembering. Now, I have all of that information in my iPhone 4S.
There is no way I would want to reinstall that app & re-input all of that information again.
I also put a lot of "lists" in the Notes area on my iPhone 4S.
I understand that is also something that is not backed up.
These are just 2 examples.
I also have other items that I am under the impression also are not backed up.
Losing any of that information would be a huge burden to recover.
I am willing to take a chance with some items that are not backed up to either iTunes nor iCloud.
But, knowlingly doing something that may lose that information is not something I am willing to do.
OR, am I just not understanding what is and is not backed up in iTunes or iCloud & what I could potentially lose?

Ios 5.1 update for iphone

Yet another issue with ios 5.1 update!! My iMessage in now not working!! Arrgh.
I got it going temporarily yesterday but lost it again this morning.
I am in a wireless zone and I have re-booted the phone and gone into settings and switched imessage on and off again?? Is anyone else experiencing this?

Have waited a while and it worked again. I think it maybe the wireless connection here. however it happened at home too. Will leave resetting it from new as a last resort. I'll leave it a couple of days and see if it continues then if it still doesn't work, I'll do the complete reset. Thanks for your help.
Regards

IOS 7 app updates piling up

In the older iOSs when you updated an app in the app store, closed it and reopened it, it was gone, leaving your updates page clean and tidy. With iOS 7, they update but never leave, leaving a growing list of already updated apps. I haven't been able to find a way to clear this list.
Is this by design?
Anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks!
