I'm at a lose for what do do..every forumn says dfu mode, but its not working. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

Looks like a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • Iphone was in the middle of an update, and an error occurred. I think it is stuck in "restore" mode, but my computer won't recognize the device. How do I get it to work?

    My iPhone 4S was in the middle of the latest software update while connected to iTunes on my PC. After it took 45 minutes to download, a pop-up came up and said that an error had occured and it couldn't be updated. I made a mistake and clicked "Okay" instead of "More Information", and now my PC won't recognize the device and connect it back to iTunes. This happened to me last time I updated it, but I've tried everything I did last time and it won't work. I have a feeling I didn't have enough storage on my phone to update it, but now I am stuck and don't know what to do. My phone is frozen with the iTunes logo and the USB drive and says to connect to iTunes. What can I do to fix it?

    If this has happened more than once the problem is likely on your PC.

  • HT201412 My phone number is not known on my iPhone and my computer does not recognize the device.

    I updated to ios 6 and now nothing is working on my phone.  It does not have a phone number and the computer doesn't recognize the device when plugged in.
    The only way it accepts a charge is by electric outlet plugin.

    Try going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".   If that doesn't work, you'll have to tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different Apple ID for iMessage.

  • The screen with the plug pointed to itunes is frozen and my computer will not recognize the ipod

    The screen on my ipod touch has a pic with the plug pointed to the itunes logo and it is frozen.  The computer will not recognize the ipod anymore.  I had updated the itunes to the latest version and the it was in the process of updating software in the ipod.  It said that the download could not be completed.  This is a new ipod touch.

  • Updated to iTunes 10.1 and Now Computer Won't Recognize iPhone

    I updated to iTunes 10.1 last night after I plugged in my phone and iTunes prompted me to. After doing so, I restarted my computer, plugged my phone back in, and now I get the message "USB Device Not Recognized" and my phone doesn't show up in iTunes. It does, however, charge while plugged in. The computer just doesnt' recognize it. I've followed the Apple page on what to do if there are driver issues. So I've uninstalled iTunes and all the other components, reinstalled, opened Device Manager and uninstalled and reinstalled the driver from there, have tried to update, but when I do, the C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers folder does not exist.
    I am running Windows 7, and I have an iPhone 3Gs running iOS4.1.
    Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I'm out of ideas.

    Well, I figured it out. My sync cable was the problem, apparently. I just used a different sync cable and it magically downloaded the driver with no problem and itunes popped right up. Figures, eh?

    My phone is doing the same thing. My computer acknowledges that I have connected my iPhone 4, however, iTunes will no longer connect or sync to my iPhone 4. I have uninstalled iTunes, Bonjour and all Apple products from my pc. I have re-installed them back on. I have reset my phone. I have emptied my temp folder. I have done everything. If my iPhone cannot update and sync with iTunes then I may as well get another phone from somewhere else. I am disappointed that I cannot resolve this issue.
    Rebeccaspe31, were you able to resolve your issue? If so how?

    "I was thinking I would just connect my iPhone and all of my music and other stuff would transfer to the new computer. "
    Not true. The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    You really should transfer everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your computer. Since you do not have access to the old computer, then use your backup copy of the old computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you would have to transfer itunes purchased as described earlier. Any other itunes content would be lost.
    You can e-mail photo library pics to yourself, but they will not be of the original quality.
    Before syncing, enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

  • Iphone 6 sometimes syncs with outlook 2010 calendar and sometimes it won't.  I manually sync to a laptop.

  • Ipod stuck in recovery, and iTunes won't recognize the device.

    My ipod is stuck on restore/ recovery mode, and iTunes won't recognize the device. The computer makes the beep noise saying that somethin is plugged in but itunes won't pick it up. It is iTunes 11.1.1 and i have a 5th generation Ipod touch. Any Help? Thanks (:

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                 
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I have now lost my contacts icon on the iphone and cannot find it even after syncing to my computer.
    Would you know how to resolve this issue?
    It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder, check the utilities folder as this is a common one for it to disappear into.  Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it.  Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • Hi, can someone help me how can i connected my multimeter to my pc with rs232, because my computer can´t recognize the device, i mean the multimeter, is a multimeter keithley serie 2400, and i already downloaded all the drivers for labview even the VISA

    hi, can someone help me how can i connected my multimeter to my pc with rs232, because my computer can´t recognize the device, i mean the multimeter, is a multimeter keithley serie 2400, and i already downloaded all the drivers for labview even the VISA

    Marco,
    Here are some suggestions:
    1) Check the manual the Keithley manual to see how to configure the RS-232.   
        On some models you need set Factory defaults to USER and turn on the RS-232.   
        Also there may be a setting for SCPI which you want on (probably on by default).
    2) On your PC - open Device Manager. See if a COM port exists and is functional.
         You must get this working before continuing.
          You can set the COM port parameters by right clicking and selecting Properties.  
         (On some PCs the onboard ports can be disabled in the BIOS)
    3) If step two was OK, open MAX (Measurement and Automation eXplorer).      
        On the left side, click on Devices and Hardware.   
        Click on Serial and Parallel.   
        Go to the COM port you found in Device Manager.   
        Open a VISA Test Panel.
        Now I don't have one I can look at right now, so this is general idea:
       Configure the COM port to match the Keithley settings (should be OK if step 2 worked)  
       Go to the (I think) Input Output tab (you want to send a command)   
       The command string input should already have a *IDN? entered, if not, type it in.   
       Click on the Query button to send the command and check the response.  
       If you get an ID string back (Company name, Model, FW Version ...) then it works.   
       (Disregard an error saying it did not get enough charcters back.) 
    I hope this helps,
    steve

  • Error updating 4S to 5.1.1 stuck at Itunes-USB screen. Please help !

    Hey there. I was about to update my iPhone 4S to 5.1.1. It downloaded (i updated itunes and restarted the pc in the meanwhile, if this matters), yet when it was updating, an error occured. I, of course, have no clue what the number was, only that it was over a thousand, and it contained nr six. Now, my phone is stuck at the iTunes-USB screen. Neither iTunes nor my PC recognize my iPhone anymore.

    If the error encountered was something like 0x000000e/f, you might have to try this link.
