IOS7 update caused iTunes crash and left phone at loading screen.

I had originally attempted to update via the on phone option, but when that failed I went to itunes. All was going well ntil it came time to install the software on the phone. iTunes promptly crashed, and my phone is stuck on a black screen with the Apple logo and a progress bar. Any help would be appreciated.

Fcopertini, at my visit with the apple store somehow the guy took my phone and got it to enter in the "restore mode" and be recognized right away by using the method mentioned here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808... (I tried this like 5 times to no avail) not sure what he did.
But when I got home I still was unable to get my phone to be connected to my computer. I did a little bit more research and tried 3 more things, and was able to finally get my phone recognized and restored. (my iTunes was the newest version becuase I could not download iOS 7 without it)
1. I stopped and restarted the Apple Mobile Device service. (I figured that after removing and installing itunes completely twice would do that already but who knows)
2. I removed the Apple mobile device USB driver (found in device manager under Universal serial bus controlers) again and then connected my phone to the computer to allow it to find the driver for me. (I had already done that before but maybe in combination with restarting the service it helped)
3. I removed my phone from the mophie case (it has a battery pack on it and makes the 30 pin connector to mini usb) Though I do not think this was the problem becuase I have connected it to my computer before multiple times and even after I did the restore I tried with the case on and it worked.
But all in all so I guess the firs two might have helped my computer see the phone again, and if that works then try following the links instructions about the recovery mode.
The guy at the apple store pretty much followed the instructions exaclty, except on #1, he just left the phone plugged into the computer and then tried the reset thing. It then recognized it was in recovery mode and hit restore for me.
I think I would have been able to do it if I had been able to get my computer to recognize my phone before hand. Sorry this is long but maybe it will help.

After updating to iTunes 7 and iPod 1.2, Ipod screen gets patchwork screen

I updated to iTunes 7 and also updated my 60 gig video ipod to version 1.2 last night and things seemed to go fine but my ipod screen garbles intermittantly - almost looks like madras cloth - you can't read anything - there are very fine lines both verticle and horizontal directions -
Sometimes (5x since last night) the ipod will lock up and i have to reset it. Reading the other posts, I tried turning off syc on podcasts but it is still doing it.
I have no hacks of any kind.

UPDATE - OK, I took the ipod into the apple store here - they tried to update it and get it fixed - ultimate resolution - get this...not a software issue at all - the hard drive on my 5G 60gig was on the verge of failing. Thankfully I was still within my first 6 months of purchase and the replacement was at no cost.
So, APPLE, sorry for casting stones about the update. I was wrong...
As far as diagnosing the hardware issue - you can reset the ipod and then listen to the hard drive - he said repeated clicking sounds and then a sound almost like crumpling paper (the best I can do) may be indicative - I think that's what he said (at least that's what I heard and asked him...)
anyway, could be a hardware issue for you too.
good luck.

IPhone crashed during iOS5 update. iTunes crashed and cant open or uninstall. Please help

iPhone 4 crashed and dumped everything while trying to update to iOS5. Now iTunes won't open so I tried to run Apple Software Update... gets half way through the install and then i get an error... cant find fold containing the installation package 'AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi'.
I'm at a loss and need help getting iTunes back up and running so I can restore my iPhone.
Regards,

I am too trying to update my phone. i wish i hadnt now as its more hassle than its worth!
I have been trying for 2 hours and on hold to Apple to try and get my iPhone 4 to restore. I did back up before I installed it but whether it picks that one up is another question.
I have had the same problem before when i got a replacement phone from Apple and it took an hour or so to work.
I wish it would get sorted out as im an angry customer that is losing her patience fast!

Since updating to iOS 7 iTunes crashes and will not load on my 4s

Since updating to iOS 7 iTunes crashes and will not load on my 4s

I tried resetting to factory and that worked for a couple of hour then I ended up with iTunes crashing again. So I logged out and logged back in and so far so good. This has kept me working for 3 days now so I won't guarantee a fix but it seems to have worked.
Go to Settings->iTunes & App Store click on your login email and select logout. I closed all of my open apps at this time and restarted my phone which was probably an overabundance of caution, but I wanted to ensure any temporary files were gone. Log back in and hopefully all will work for you.
Good luck.

You should do that to complete the software update and sync with your computer.
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (11.1)

I updated to the iSO6 and my phone now keeps crashing while saying, "Invalid SIM." What do I do?

Thank you very much! I actually tried doing that with a paper clip but was not successsful. I feel I tried plugging in the clip in in every possible way and it still did not work. Is there is a special trick to the way this needs to be done? I felt like if I kep pushing, I was going to damage the device.

You are going to have to download and install iTunes on the computer. Your iPhone is in recovery mode. See this support document for help with that. If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If you haven't already done so, you might want to go to control panel>uninstall, right-click on iCloud on the programs list and select Repair. Then restart your PC and try photo stream again. If that doesn't resolve it, try uninstalling iCloud and reinstall the latest version from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455.

My itunes crashes and I can't open it all. HELP

My itunes crashes and I can't open it all. Just installed the latest version 10.5.1. I can't even get it to open to try and figure out what is wrong. Can I uninstall it and reinstall the less recent version which was working? Help!!
I am not a computer guru, the reason that I love my MacBook Pro is that I don't have to worry about it, now I am worrying, because I can't get into my itunes at all. I would trash the new version of itunes and find an older version (I did try reinstalling 10.5.1) as long as I was reassured that I wouldn't lose all my music.
Thanks all.

Sorry to hear.
Wow, first iPad crisis with vs 5 & 501, now this?
I see the update waiting right now for my MBP, and is why I'm here to see what's up.
On the software update panel, it's all about cloud service.
Looks like 10.5 is the end of the road for me.
I can see having gaming on cloud, but with the work I put into my tunes, no way.
We'll see how people react as time goes, and the next crisis.

OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:

OS 10.4.10 Update Causing Audio Popping (AND HUM) Issues:
The problem on my Intel Mac mini with external Klipsch speakers (two mid-range/high and a subwoofer) is REAL obvious as the system emits a hum like a Spinal Tap amplifier turned up to #11 when 10.4.10 powers down the audio circuitry
Then, if I play a song in iTunes, it first pops and the hum disappears right before playing.
Quite annoying. I restored the mini from a recent backup to 10.4.9. Problem gone.
I'm glad I test updates on the mini before applying them to my Intel iMac 24. I guess I'll just hide & watch what happens before doing any more updates.
Here's what I sent to Apple tech support:
Guys/Gals (OS X Engineers):
Concerning the Snap, Crackle Pop Audio problem in the 10.4.10 update:
Please. Just do the right thing and fix the audio.
There is no need to power cycle the audio subsystem to save .0005 amps on the laptop line.
And then to make your Mac mini/iMac/other desktop users have to put up with it when using AC power is ridiculous.
Put the audio subsystem back like it was in 10.4.9 and let the laptop battery freaks looking for mini-amp savings get a "work-a-round".
Crikey!

Libby,
Backup is unable to make a restorable by Disk Utility backup. You can restore pieces of the software as outlined in my FAQ about backing up user data:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
But to be able to restore a backup with Disk Utility, you need a cloning utility to have made the backup.
I suggest starting a new thread here, where someone else could help you out better:

First off, you'll get a wider audience who may be able to solve your problem. Secondly, responses to you won't confuse the original poster with solutions that don't apply to them. And thirdly, you'll know for certain whether or not a response applies to you.
