IOS8 update gone wrong

Could do with some help please. While updating my phone to ios8 my laptop decided to shut down (got a dodgy battery and didn't realise the cable had fallen out). When I got back in to itunes my phone had the connect to itunes picture and when I do try and connect itunes just says "The iphone software server could not be contacted", and my phone isn't showing up to access.
Tried resetting both phone and laptop and nothing so far. At the moment I cant access my phone either through itunes or the phone itself. Any advice greatly appreciated!

Hi wbabbington,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there may be an issue with iTunes contacting the iPhone software update server from your computer. The article linked below provides a lot of great troubleshooting suggestions that will resolve most of the configuration issues that can prevent iTunes from communicating with the update servers.
iTunes for Windows: iTunes can't contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
I hope this helps.

Update gone wrong

hi guys,
i've got a nokia 6300 and while I was doing the update yesterday something has gone very wrong. the mobile phone switched of never to come back to life. every time i try to switch it on the blue lights on the side turn on for a few seconds but nothing appears on the display.
anything i can do before taking it to a nokia care point?
many thanks,
JP

no unfortunately there is nothing you can do with your phone besides taking it to nokia care. your phone is based on s40 platform and there are no codes or button sequnece that you can try to revive it. your only option is to take it and have them flash the phone and bring it back for you. sorry mate, i know this is not what you were hoping for.
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

Smc update gone wrong???

I have a macbook air 13" mid 2012 with mountain lion, when i tried to install the smc update my fan started to run at full speed, keyboard lights gone, charger light gone, and it wont work without the charger pluss many other things. Any suggestions?

Try recovery mode:
1. Start iTunes.
2. Connect phone to a USB port directly on the computer, not an external hub or keyboard port.
3. Press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears, then continue pressing the home button alone until iTunes sees the phone in Recovery Mode.
4. Follow the prompts to restore.

Another update gone wrong?????

OK, this is totally ********!
I updated to the latest iTunes (6.0.2) and the latest iPod update for both my 5G 60GB and my Photo 60GB.
I don't know which one is the uclprit (iTunes update or iPod update), but now, almost ALL of my ratings, which took me WEEKS to do, are gone! Some of the songs have ratings, and a good many of the songs have a 1/2 star rating! How in the heck does a 1/2 star get in there? It's not possible to do in iTunes or on the iPod.
Now I've got to re-enter ALL of my Ratings!!!! Play counts and last played seem to be untoched. I'm REALLY MIFFED!

That's REALLY bugging me as well, becuase I Always make backups of the library files, but I forgot to this time.
I just wonder why I had so many files with large playcounts but no last played dates, and where the 1/2 stars came from.
Incidentally, I realized that the library was probably fine, until I synched my 4th Gen Photo. That iPod had all the ratings messed up, but my 5th gen, which I synch almost every day had all the ratings intact..
It must have been the update to the 4th gen that screwed me up, and when I synched it, it copied the ratings back to iTunes. My ratings were all on the old 4Gen prior to the update, so that must have been it.

Nokia Software Update gone wrong?

Hey guys,
I'll try to be brief enough to avoid boring you. I started this thread off in the wrong forum apparently, and am told this is the correct place.
Basically, my PC Suite software has been rendered unusable, because every time my device attaches to it, it crashes. It appears to crash every time it synchronizes. And I can't stop it from synchronizing, for example, I destroyed the sync configuration on both the software and on the phone, and it still displays the synchronization complete message on the phone, and the PC Suite software crashes.
This was all working 100% yesterday.
I assume the problem has been caused by me updating the phone software, new version tag:
V 06.01
20-05-08
RM-198
(c)Nokia
PC Suite software 7.0.7.0
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
The issue is apparent whether I connect the phone using the USB cable, or bluetooth,
the phone is a 6085
Thanks in advance for any insight.

Go to a Nokia Service Point.

HT1222 Latest update gone wrong

I downloaded this last update, IOS 6.1.3 to my phone and the email button crashed. My email accounts were gone. I tried to readd both accounts and it won't accept them. I tried to use the individual apps for the email accounts, no luck. What gives?

3 things:
1: Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
2: Restore from backup using computer iTunes.
3. Restore as new without the backup and sync back the content manually.

ITunes 11 update gone wrong

Ok....so I have been using iTunes 10.7 (or whatever the latest one before iTunes 11 is) on my Windows laptop and it has been working fine ever since i bought my iPhone 5. When my Apple Update told me to update to iTunes 11, I tried to update it and it gave me a red exclamation point and said there was an issue updating iTunes. When I clicked on the file that saved (iTunes64Setup), I clicked “Run” and then a pop-up came up saying:
“An error occurred while writing installation information to disk. Check to make sure enough disk space is available, and click Retry, or Cancel to end the install.”
I click “Retry”, and nothing. The issue is, I have plenty of disk space and I cannot figure out what this means. I have tried everything complicated and simple to try and solve this problem but I can’t figure it out. It’s exhausting and I tried down-grading to a lower iTunes but still nothing. Help, help, help!

This happened to me too after adding another user account on my pc and sharing my library between all windows accounts. I found out that the songs that did not sync where missing the apropriate rights on windows.
E.g.: I used my pc on my own. For sharing my library with my wife, i moved the whole iTunes folder to a seperate partitition. I created an account (windows) for my wife, logged in, configured iTunes to use the library on the new partition and tried to sync her iPod. Yet it started to sync, nothing was synced to the iPod. It just stopped on song number 1.
Going deeper into this, i discovered that her windows account didn't have the windows rights to (although her account is an administrative one and the whole partition was set to "everyone-full access". I added her account and replaced all existing rights (to all subfolders and files). That did the trick.
Be careful when using the windows library (e.g. adding the folder "music" of your iTunes to the music library, so that the new music app on Win8 can play your songs) and sharing them in your home network. This will change the rights on your files again.

Nokia 5800 v50 firmware update gone wrong

Hey guys,
I installed v50 firmware over the air. I had to uninstall some programs because the update complained of lack of space, so I uninstalled Ovi client and related software and some location aware thing that I don't remember the name.
Then flashed the firmware... all went well, phone turned on.
While on the home screen after some seconds I got a message saying that something failed to install (it didn't say what). I still was able to use my phone however, now the camera software doesn't work.
Any tips ? Do I need to do a hard-reset on the phone and install firmware again ? And how can I do a hard-reset ?
Thanks a lot!

Yes, since there is a space problem a hard reset would be a good option before reinstalling. Remember that it deletes everything so make sure you have a backup.
A hard reset (x6, 5800 and 5230 only) is done by the following (warning, this deletes all data on your phone):
1.) Turn off the phone and remove battery for 5min
2.) Reinsert battery
3.) Press and hold the green, red and camera buttons. DO NOT LET GO.
4.) While holding the three buttons, press the power key to boot the phone up.
5.) Keep on pressing until you see the country selection screen.
A correctly done hard reset would show you that everything on the phone (contacts, messages, calendar entries, etc) would be deleted. So it is advisable to back them up. Upon restoration, do not restore settings or files if possible.

IOS 5 Update gone wrong

So i was one of the people who purchased iOS 5 beta software by supplying my UDID to an internet company. When i tried to update my iPhone it told me that i had the most current/up to date version of the software.
I then performed a Hard reset of everything on the phone and when i did so, it told me that i was not registered as an apple developer and that i needed to register in order to continue. So currently my phone is in limbo right now with no service provider and im not sure what to do...
Is there any way Apple can unlock my phone? I am not an Apple developer i was just being curious and wanted to see what the early hype was all about regarding iOS 5 software.
Any advice is appreciated

Maybe the "internet company" you purchased IOS 5 beta from can help you.

N70 update gone wrong

Ok well my Nokia N70 kept freezing and when I searched this on google it came up with a link to the Nokia site for a firmware update. I did this, followed the instructions and was just about to complete the update when I knocked the usb cable with my foot and the cable came out. Now my phone wont even turn on!! What should I do??

that's bad, have you tried turning it on with the cable plugged in, if that doesn't work take it to a nokia service centre they'll help you out.http://www.apps.nokia.co.uk/clubnokiaservice/Message Edited by 6280 on 19-Jan-2007

10.3.9 combo update gone wrong

Hi. I started out with a base os of 10.3.5. I recently got DSL so i decided to update the computer. I used the auto-update and it downloaded the update. After a restart, I had it update again. After a second restart, I went online because I noticed that the finder did not match the pictures online(I.E. it has the functions to switch user, not log out) I tried repairing disk permissions figuring that it could just be something odd. I found:
A.it ran 10.3.9 software
B.It could not run "diskimagemounter" to open .dmg files
C.it was missing all the drivers for USB and sound
D.After being shut down, it would not reboot using the hard drive's X folder.
E.(After searching through many boxes [i just moved] i found the disk) Archive and (install?) always has errors at 1%
F.Disk First Aid fails saying,
"Disk utility stopped repairing 'Macintosh HD'
because the following error was encountered:
The underlying task reported failure on exit"
In the repair log it says:
Repairing disk for "Macintosh HD"
Checking Catalog file.
invalid key length
Volume check failed
I don't want to clean install this computer because my sister needs files off of the hard drive..
Can i create a new disk partition in which to install a second copy of 10.3.5, boot off that one, and move all the files?
G5 Mac OS X (10.3.5)
P.S. it won't boot at all off the hard drive currently and my warrenty has exspired

If your Mac won't boot at all from it's own hard drive, and you can't repair the disk or do an Archive & Install, or erase the disk, your only option would seem to be to move those files your sister needs off the hard disk, then erase the drive and reinstall OS X from scratch.
However, if what you said about using the auto-update (Software Update) feature was true, you did not do a 10.3.9 Combo Update. This has never been part of Software Update and would not show up when you run it. You must have done a 'delta' update from 10.3.8 to 10.3.9 instead. If you reinstall 10.3, you would then need to download and install the 10.3.9 Combo Update, which is approximatelyy 117 MB in size.
Hope this helps,
Mulder

T410s Bios Update Gone Wrong

I hoping someone can direct me to a fix for this issue. Seems to me I can't be the only one having this particular issue.
I downloaded the windows bios update utility and proceeded to update the BIOS. The utility ran for 10 minutes and it just hung there. Eventually I ended up rebooted the computer and once I did that the computer would not start again.
One long been and two short beeps and this indicates a system board failure.
Here is what I did;
1. Updated bios in windows
2. Computer would not start
3. Unplugged power and removed battery
4. Held power for multiple 30 seconds
5. Disconnected battery under the keyboard (waited two hours before trying again)
Any advice is very much appreciated.
Shawn.

If the machine is still under warranty call Lenovo and tell them that the BIOS update killed the motherboard. It might or might not get you where you need to be.
In case of an expired warranty, you're on your own an the motherboard replacement is going to be on you...
Good luck.

Re: Update Gone Wrong?

I just got back from a trip to Mexico with my Droid X- while there for 9 days I made 3 phone calls totalling $4.00. However, my bill was for $1184 for "data usage" I called Verizon and was told that ALL e-mails recevied AND verizon updates to my phone were charged at the Mexican data usage rate. Obviously I am incensed. I did not check e-mails, I did not use any other data usage programs, I only had the phone turned on and charged for emergency calls. I had a land line and a high speed computer connection & no need to use the phone.
After 2 hours on the phone, Verizon wanted to "negotiate" and ageed to reduce my bill by $593.00. However, I found myself negotiating for something I had absolutely no control over. They told me that this will happen anytime I bring my phone to Mexico (or any other country) because all e-mails received, PLUS Verizon updates, will be charged at the exorbitant data usage rates of the country visited.
My question is "how can this happen?" I am going to make a federal case of this. I'm working to pubish an article in the Puerto Vallarta Tribune as well as my local paper. I am interested to know if anyone else has had this experience.
Thanks,
Lee

I understand you discuss but under the situation I am not sure how you can resolve that situation... For future situation you may want to get yourself familier with this option on your device to avoid a future issues... If you disable this option it should stop you from using data when roaming..
Good Luck.

HT4623 Update Gone Wrong!@!$@#$@

I began updating at home and had to leave. I took my phone with me and it continues updating. I finished updating and it said "verifying update". It gave me that message twice, before going into "restore" mode (USB arrow iTunes). I plugged it into my laptop and it doesn't popup on my computer or asking if I want to open my files. None of the youtube videos are helpful, because I can't power down my phone and can't load the software it says you need. What can I do??????

Force the phone into DFU mode (search Google) and restore
