  • Iphone 3gs crashed after installing new ios update

    Please help. I just installed the newest ios update to my daughters iphone 3gs. It installed successfully, i thought. Then about 10 minutes later it said verifying update. It went off and now tries to come back on and the apple icon flashes for a few seconds and goes back off. I have tried a hard reset (both home and off buttons held down) and it does the same thing:(  Please help me!

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    If no joy... Perform a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
    Unauthorized modification of iOS

  • I have iPhone 3GS, if I install iOS 4.3.5. will it be locked again?

    I have iPhone 3GS, if I install iOS 4.3.5. will it be locked again?

    The ONLY place can unlock an iphone is the carrrier to which it is locked and ONLY if they offer that service.
    For example, AT&T in the U.S. does not unlock any iphones at all.
    You can buy an unlocked iphone from the Apple Store now, but you cannot get a locked phone unlocked in the U.S.

  • Usually i back my IPhone with ICloud, after installing IOS 5 it asked me to restore from I Tunes what i have to do?

    usually i back my IPhone with ICloud, after installing IOS 5 it asked me to restore from ITunes what i have to do to restore all my contact, applications and others?

    If your iPhone does not search for a wi-fi connection before you are asked whether you want to set it up as new phone or restore a backup from iTunes, then I guess you have the same issue as highlighted in this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19638850?ac_cid=tw123456#19638850
    iCloud back ups can only be accessed via wi-fi that's why you are not granted this option, I have the exact same issue.

  • Can't Synq iPhone 3GS Calendars after installing iOS6, any suggestions?

    Can't Synq iPhone 3GS Calendars after installing iOS6, any suggestions?
    I'm all mac-based and followed the instructions for the upgrade to iOS6 software for iPhone but now my calendars won't synq.  When I connect to iTunes and run the synq process, it gets stuck on the Calendar step and will not finish the synq process.  I have to either wait for it to quit or force it to quit.  Additionally, when I try to log a new event or meeting onto the Calendar on the iPhone, it will lock up and quit the app.  I then have to shut down the iPhone to get it to open again but it just locks up again when I try to log a new event.  Any suggestions?  I'm tempted to do a back up and reinstall but don't want to risk any data loss.

    Hi there,
    I am using Rogers, which does support tethering.
    The iPhone does not show up in the list of devices in the Bluetooth preference panel. It fails at the Pairing step of the Bluetooth setup assistant.
    Cheers!

  • Iphone suddenly shows itunes logo and usb

    My iphone just showed the itunes logo and usb cord image, without having done anything. How can I recover pictures and data that were in the phone memory?

    Before you connect to your computer , if necessary in recovery mode iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore , copy the iphone backup folder to a safe place, in case you need the backup again.
    The location of the folder is here:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.
    You backup contains pictures taken with the phone and your data and settings. More info here. iPhone and iPod touch: About backups
    So, in case your phone gets recognized by your computer, let it restore and use the latest backup to get your data and settings back.

    Using iPhone/iPad Recovery Mode

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom
