IPhone 4 completely unstable after update to ios 5.0.1

Hello everyone,,
I just updated my iPhone 4 from ios 5 to ios 5.0.1. Unfortunatly right after the update the screen in starting to flickr non-stop. with the apple logo and the loading bar stuck in the middle of the screen like a background. regarding itunes, it recognizes it for a minute and disconnects and refuses to sync.
I did not have any problems with the phone when ios 5 was installed . Now it is acting as almost as if it is DEAD *-* !!!
Is anyone having these same problems??

Ok guys i got it fixed:
1- close your iphone by holding the power button for few sec (10-20) till the phone turn off.
2- open itunes and plug you usb wire in your mac/pc but do not plug it in the iphone yet.
3- push and hold the home button of the iphone and plug your usb dock in, you must hold the home button at the same time.
4- now itunes will reconize your iphone and will ask foe a recovery.
5- follow the step for the recovery process (your last backup)
6- happy :) but you will maybe lost some of the last data.
I hope that will help.

  • My iphone 6 plus after updating to IOS 8.2 the touch id doesn't work neither in home unlock nor in app store and when i'm trying to add a new fingerprint it says ''failed unable to complete touch id setup.Please go back and try again'' .

    my iphone 6 plus after updating to IOS 8.2 seems to have a problem with the touch id witch doesn't work neither in home unlock nor in app store and when i'm trying to add a new fingerprint it says ''failed unable to complete touch id setup.Please go back and try again'' . I have multiple fingerprints and none of them appear to work.

    Hi Giannis,
    If you are having an issue with Touch ID not functioning as expected, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
    Use Touch ID on iPhone and iPad - Apple Support
    Start with the section titled Clean the Touch ID sensor and then Get help with Touch ID.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • My iphone 5c crashed after updating to IOS 8.02 and now i don't have anything from the last 3 months. What do I do?

    My iphone 5c crashed after updating to IOS 8.02 and now i don't have anything from the last 3 months. What do I do?

    Don't worry about that. iPhone stuck in recovery mode always happens when you update the iOS on your iPhone. There are two ways to solve it.
    First is is to put your iPhone in DFU mode.
    Step 1. Turn off iPhone
    Step 2. Hold down the Power and Home button.
    Step 3. When you see the Apple logo, release the power button but continue holding the Home button down.
    Step 4. Open iTunes and wait for it to tell you that it’s in restore mode.
    If DFU mode can't solve the problem, I'm afraid the only solution is to try some 3rd party software, like iPhone data recovery or something like that. You may simply try the tutorial here: How to Fix iPhone that is Stuck in Recovery Mode.

  • IPhone 4 completely dead after update to iOS 7, anything to be done?

    I have an iPhone 4 that I updated to iOS 7 today. Everything was going well; I'd been using the phone normally for a few hours. I was trying to add a picture of a friend from an iMessage to their contact card, and was at the point where I'd hit okay, and was just waiting for it to complete. It took longer than expected, but I just let it sit, and then my screen went blank and turned to this:
    The lines are not static (they appear to be moving horizontally, but not vertically), the screen is flickering, and the phone is completely unresponsive. I have tried force restarting by holding down the home and top button for up to a minute, plugging the phone into the wall socket, connecting the phone to my computer, and nothing has caused even the slightest change. I can't even get the screen to turn off.
    My question is basically, is there any hope of recovering my phone? Is there anything I can do now? If I just wait for it to die, is there a chance I can restore it?

    hi there Stagamancer

    thanks

  • Not receiving group messages on iPhone 6 plus after updating to iOS 8.2

    After updating to iOS 8.2 I suddenly stopped receiving group messages on a thread of which I was previously a part. Apparently they can see my texts, but I cannot see their replies. Tried rebooting. Switching messages, group messages, face time, and phone itself off and on. No luck. Single messages have been sent and received. Seems contained to group.
    IPhone 6+, 124 g. ATT

    spent some time with Apple support today. Go into settings and sign off of your Apple ID in iMessages and FaceTime. Power off phone and restart. Log back in using Apple id in iMessages and FaceTime. seemed to work for me for Now. Hope it helps.

  • Please help me tp update my iPhone 5, because after updating to ios 7 I can no longer update and restore my phone? it always error

    please help me to update and restore my iphone 5? beacause after updating to iOS 7, i can no longer updater and restore my phone. it always comes in error

    I'm having the identical problem on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 7--no ability to update apps or download new apps.  Here is what Apple tech support emailed to me:
    I understand that you are unable to download or update applications after updating iOS7 on your iTunes. I know you must be eager to get this resolved and I will be happy to help you today.
    ... to help you better with this issue I would request you to please try this steps given below to resolve your issue.
    Please follow this steps:
    1) Double tap the home button
    2) Hold down on an icon
    3) Tap the red "X" on iTunes, and the App Store.
    4) Tap Settings > Store > Tap your Apple ID, and choose sign out
    5) Tap Settings
    6) Tap General
    7) Tap Reset
    8) Tap Network Settings
    Once it has been closed with multi-tasking, and you have rebooted the device in the network settings reset, please sign in, and try again. 
      Howevr, if you are facing the same issue than for this issue, you may need to call our AppleCare technical support team. A technical Advisor will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support. The technical Advisor can also assist you in determining what option might be most helpful to you in this case.
    Mildly amusing that the instructions for force-closing a program are the IOS 6 instructions, which do not work on IOS 7. 
    Otherwise I'm having a little success with this.  Some apps (not all) are updating. It seems that a few more apps update each time I go through the process (close everything, sign out, and either reset or reboot, then go to the app store, sign in and try to update all).  So far it has been a very lengthy, iterative process. 

  • Why does my iPhone 4 gets very lag and unstable after updated to iOS 5.1?

    I have been using iOS 5.0.1 previously without any problem and smooth, however after i updated to iOS 5.1, my phone is getting unstable.
    Every time when i unlock my screen, it may lag for a few seconds. This issue does not happened when i'm using iOS 5.0.1. I did restore my phone using iTunes but the issue is still there. Anyone able to help me pls?

    Try restarting your iPhone 5 by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.  Then give it a try.

  • IPhone 5 dead after updating to iOS 8.0.2

    After updating from 7.1.2 to 8.0.2, my iPhone 5 cannot charge and is not recognized by my Mac.  All original cables.   After 24 hours, the battery is dead, so there is no way to even find a solution by restoring or anything.  It is a brick.  If I were to replace the battery by myself, I still would not know how to proceed, software-wise, as not able to downgrade back to 7.1.2 (where everything was fine) and not sure of iOS 8.1 fixes any of this.
    Any ideas welcome.  Been surfing the web for weeks and still no solution found.

    Hi!  I always reset my network setting after every update of iOS because of the battery drain.  I did the same for iOS 8.02, but to no effect.  The problems I am experiencing are:
    1. battery drain - just around 4hrs of regular use instead of 8hrs
    2. the phone lags even when answering calls
    3. frequent signal drops and the phone heating up
    4. reset by itself yesterday while i was switching between apps
    I also updated an iPad mini first gen, but has no problem so far.

  • IPhone 5 lags after updating to iOS 8.0.2

    RRecently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.0.2. First of all battery life has declined it's not as good as it used to be in 7.1.2. There is no 3G toggle in settings its really frustrating because in my country 3G plans are costly and signal is not so great. And it lags while opening folders sudden jerky kinda animation. Lag is quire noticeable even in lock screen while trying to open control centre and notifications. Lags even in Safari more frequently. Is it a strategy to make old phones more slow so people will upgrade?? hope apple comes with one more update to fix the lag. Otherwise I am stuck in this ios 8 forever. That's shame.

  • No Service on iphone 4 GSM after update from ios 7.0 to 7.0.2

    Yesterday on my iPhone 4 I made the OTA update from iOS 7.0 to iOS 7.0.2
    Modem FW is 04.12.09 - no jailbreak, no simlock
    Everything just worked as it should but after the update I did not have Service anymore and my iphone is permanently searching a Carrier.
    I already have resetted all Network settings but without any result.
    I have restored once again via itunes to 7.0.2 but without result.
    Any Idea what I could do?
    I have to be reachable by phone so now I am going to restore back to 7.0 and I hope that it will work again.
    I will update this post later.

    Update, still on 7.0.2:
    After having switched Carrier search from Automatic to Manual a list appears with all available Carriers.
    My Carrier is on the list but when I select it following info appears:
    There are restrictions for the selected Carrier, please select another one or go back to Settings.
    *** ... this is my home Carrier and I am in my home country!!! I never saw something like this before.
    Actually it is the same message as I got when I select another Carrier in my Country where of course access is denied.
    For me this clearly seems to be a bug in 7.0.2

  • IPhone 4 slow after updating to iOS 5.1

    I have a 32GB iPhone 4 with about 2GB free and recently updated to iOS 5.1.  It has become noticeably slower since updating it.  There are some short delays with certain apps, some have become jerky and the Home button isn't as sensetive as it used to be.  But the worst part is the camera and the photos app.  The camera takes FOOOOOOOOOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRR to load before it's ready to take a picture, and switching to video takes even longer. I've waited up to a minute before either one is ready for use and sometimes have to wait 10 seconds between shots! Also the Photos app has become really buggy and will sometimes crash, especially if I try to edit a picture.  This is not cool.  I've tried turning the phone off and on.  I've tried resetting it (Home+Power buttons).  Next I'm ready to try throwing it in a bucket of water to see if that might work.  Any tips before I do that?

    Try restoring as a new phone and seeing whether the launch time of Camera improves. If it does not, then restore the backup and take it to an Apple Store for replacement.

  • Iphone 5 crashed after updating to iOS 8.0.2

    My iphone 5 crashed when updating to the new iOS 8. Thank you! Everything is deleted now! I can't even back it up from my computer, it crashes again and again. Put your things together apple.

    We're not Apple here, Jovana.  It's users just like you.  You make yourself look pretty foolish when you address Apple here directly.  Pretty foolish indeed.

  • Complete iphone 6 crash after update to iOS 8.3.1. No possibility to reconfigure or even restore factory setting.

    Tried to update my brand new iPhone 6 to iOS 8.3.1. Stopped in the middle of the update. After connecting via USB to itunes a) update of configuration without success and  b) reset to factory settings without success:  "an unknown failure has been detected (code 56)".
    Seems after putting a day's work into getting the phone setup and now wasting the whole evening trying to get the update mess sorted out, I now have the choice between waiting one week to cue in an apple store 100 km away or to send my phone in.
    Anyone sharing my fate? Any ideas how to save me from the oddyssee of Apple service?
    Thanks and best regards,
    Marcel

  • My iPhone will not recognize other iPhones for iMessage after updating to ios 6.  Any suggestions?

    I updated my phone last week and after the update was finished I noticed I could not initiate an iMessage conversation with other iPhone users who I had always been able to use iMessage with.  If I begin the conversation it sends as a regular SMS message and after the other iPhone user responds it allows me to use iMessage.  I have toggled the iMessage switch on and off, signed out and back in on my apple I.D., as well as resorting to restoring my phone, still nothing.  Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

    What happens when you try?
    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 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, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Is my Iphone 4 bricked after updating to IOS 5

    Well ive updated my iphone 4 to ios 5 and everything was ok untill a couple of days later. I restarted my phone and was getting the solid apple logo and that was it. After pressing home and on/off buttons it went off.
    Now i dont get nothing at all, Not a thing. Ive tried getting it in DFU mode for restore and not getting no signs of life at all. Ive literally been trying to do this all day and hopefully someone can help me here. I cant see how a phone just goes off and shows no sign of life just like that, No water damage or anything else like that has happened.
    Ive also left it on charge for a couple of hours even thou the battery was at least 50% charged.
    Any help will be great, Thanks

    Connect your iPhone to iTunes. If it doesn't come up in the sidebar for a good amount of time, start holding the power and home buttons. Count down from 10. Then, release the power button and coninue holding the home button for up to 30 seconds. If it doesn't come out of recovery or DFU (which can sometimes make it appear bricked), continue this process. KiltedTim's answer is also helpful and can sometimes take care of this problem.
