IOS6.1 crashes my iPhone 4S! Please help.
Hello,
I just updated my iPhone 4s to the latest iOS release 6.1. Before the upgrade, I completed a backup to my computer through iTunes. After the update finished downloading, it gave me an unknown error message. Now, my iphone shows a frozen screen showing the USB chord and an arrow towards the iTunes symbol indicating to plug it into iTunes. When I do, I get the following message:
"iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes"
What the ****!? This should be tried and true before releasing to the public. So I need to restore my phone? It doesn't even give me the option to restore from a backup so I'm guessing I will need to first restore to factory settings and then restore to my backup? Will I have iOS6.1 at that point?
Has anybody else been experiencing similar problems? This is very annoying to me especially since Apple wants $20 just to talk to them on the phone. Please help if you can.
Thanks.
I am having the same issue - the problem is that there is no way to restore that I can find. iTunes will not recognize my phone, and the phone just has the icon on it that tells me to plug into iTunes.
Any constructive suggestions would be helpful. I have no phone. Thank you!

Is reliance a supported carrier for the iPhone? If not, you will be unable to get facetime to activate.

My iphone 5 doesn't sync with itunes on my pc. it says this computer has previously been synced to another io6 device or iphone? please help what to do?
The error message you're seeing is likely the other way around -- i.e. something like "This iPhone has previously been synced with a different computer". There's no problem syncing multiple iOS devices to the same computer.
However, the reverse is not true for the iPhone -- you cannot connect an iPhone to another computer without it being erased, even if you manually manage music and video. So, it sounds like you've been syncing your iPhone to a different computer?
Also, 5.1 (not 5.0.1) is the latest iOS. -
I purchased an audiobook in Nov 2012 using iPhone 4S and then upgraded to iPhone 5 in Dec. Now I am not seeing the audio book in purchase history in iTunes. This means I am not able to get the book in my new iPhone. Please help.
Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store. If you don't have it on your computer (audiobooks go into the Books part of your iTunes library) nor on a backup, then if it's still in the store you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

hello my iphone 3gs just been stolen how can i block the iphone and how could i track it i don't know for sure if i have find my iphone? please help i got many accounts on it and i don't have a passcode :((
It was never free for the 3GS.
It is if the initial sign-up is done on an iPhone 4, iPad or iPod touch 4th gen.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436:
After I sign up for Find My iPhone for free, can I use it on other iOS devices?
Yes, if your devices are running iOS 4.2. For example, you can sign up for Find My iPhone for free on your iPad and use the same account information to sign in to MobileMe on your iPhone 3GS and turn on Find My iPhone. -
My iphone is at tech service and since it is in guarantee period most probably they will give a new one.Thats why I want to deactivate or sign out my apple ID from that Iphone. Please help me, what shoud I do?
Wow... you seriously over paid for an iPhone.
That probably explains why you have/had no clue you were purchasing a locked device and think it's an Apple problem to get it unlocked. -
They say purchased but wont go into my itunes library or onto my iphone. Please help.
Hey there aussieboss123,
It sounds like you are wanting to download an album that you pre ordered, not all the songs are downloading. First, use this section of the following article to see if the tracks download:
Download a pre-ordered item
When a pre-ordered item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know that you can download your pre-order.
If you enabled the option to automatically download prepurchased content in iTunes, then your pre-ordered content may already be in your library. If not, click the download link provided in your email notification, and your pre-ordered content will begin to download. You can also use the Check for Available Downloads feature in iTunes on your computer (choose Store > Check for Available Downloads) to begin downloading your pre-order.
iTunes Store: About pre-orders
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5714
If it does not, I would use the following article to report a problem with the purchase to the iTunes Store support directly:

If you wanted FaceTime, you should not have purchased your phone in the UAE. There is no way to add it back to your phone, as it has been permanently removed.

This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

My iPhone recently broke so I was sent a brand new iPhone to replace it, however, since receiving this phone, I cannot access anything which was previously backed up onto iCloud from my last iPhone. Please help me!
If you are trying to restore to an iCloud backup, this has to be done during the initial setup process. If your phone is already set up, you will have to go back to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content & Settings, then go back through the setup screens again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to complete.
Also, your replacement phone must be running the same iOS version or higher to restore to your backup. If you are running an older version of iOS than the device that was backed up, your backup will not be visible when you choose to restore to your iCloud backup. If this is the case, you'll have to update your replacement phone first. -

I have lost my new iPhone. Please help. I have the IMEI no and all the details that comes at the back of the box.
Having the imei won't help you find your phone.
If you setup and enabled find my phone prior to losing it then go to icloud.com
If you didn't set it up - then there nothing you can do.
Call your carrier and let them know, change all your passwords.
