Iphone 4 locked after failed latest software update

iphone 4 locked up after a failed latest software update
now it is not showing up or recognized by itunes.
Any suggestions. or is it the crap apple software?
Thanks - robert

As for the problem and help, I just stopped by AT&T and they took care of it.
As for my disparaging remarks, it is the way I feel and felt like voicing it at the moment.  As I recall this is still a free country (Obama thankfully has not been able to screw everything up) and I personally have never liked apple products or software. That’s my personal opinion, it is crap. This particular phone is supplied by corporate and I will get a different phone as soon as request is approved. MS software has always been much better than apple products in my experience and at a much better price.
Best Regards,

    Hi clintfromid,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would recommend closing all your apps and restarting and maybe resetting as good initial troubleshooting steps for this:

    How much data is being backed-up from each Mac?  (see what's shown for Estimated size of full backup under the exclusions box in Time Machine Prefs > Options).
    Is there any other data on your Time Capsule, besides the backups?
    Most likely, there just isn't room.  Time Machine may be trying to do a very large (or full) backup of one or both Macs, and can't.  Since it won't ever delete the most recent backup, there has to be enough room for one full backup plus whatever it's trying to back up now, plus 20% (for workspace).

  • IPhoto slideshow is very very very slow after the latest software update

    As the subject states, iPhoto slideshows are very slow: after clicking on the slideshow-button first nothing happens, after a while the screen goes black (that lasts about a minute or so) and the (finally) the slideshow starts. which is very annoying because it displays no options screen at first as it used to do, it just starts using very annoying standard music... quitting slideshow again to go to the options menu takes ages!! this problem started after the latest software update... way to go Apple...
    suggestions anyone?!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Well I haven’t seen this problem.
    Start with the troubleshooting basics:
    1. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    2. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
    3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • Massive battery drain issues after the latest software update - phone hot

    After the latest software update (to the NI2 version) I have massive battery drain issues. The phone also stays hot. Even when I don't actively use the phone it seems to stay "awake" according to the stats. When I disable all data (Wifi and/or 3G/4G) it's perfectly fine. Does anyone else experience the same issues or has recommendations?

    Is the device trying to sync all your photos with the cloud?
    This is what I would do.
    Back up your photos and music onto a personal computer. Copy down important settings like for your email, and contacts you can't risk losing.. even icon placement of important apps. Diagram it out.
    Then perform a Factory reset on the device. Alternatively you might find the procedure for wiping the low level cache of the device posted in other posts on the site. That might fix the problem and avoid you losing settings and content on your device.
    Extremely bizarre behavior post updates are usually associated with low level cache issues that cause the OS to behave poorly.  Some people have reported their phones running hot and that could mean the radio is on constantly attempting to back stuff up to the cloud our restore stuff.
    Good luck.

  • Why do I have to restore my iphone after this latest software update?

    I have just synced my iphone 5, and downloaded/updates it to the latest software update which was available, but now it wants me to restore my phone to factory settings???? Why this time, it hasn't ever asked asked me to do this before?  Is it safe?

    restore to factory settings mean deleting everything you put on the phone making it as it were when it was shipped from the factory

  • IMac unable to restart after downloading latest software update (including iTunes 11.2)

    My system is a mid-2007 iMac (Intel) with latest software updates always promptly installed (OSX Mavericks, etc) and 320 GB internal HD, 4GB Ram.
    Today the software updater informed me that an update to iTunes was available and so I allowed it to download the update and then restart the computer. The restart was not successful - the computer display will show the status window progressing as the update is installed and then nears completion, but will freeze at the apparant point of completion and the restart will not complete. I tried restarting several times and it always hangs up and does not complete.
    I then ran the Disc Utilities program - first time I ran it, it identified disc problems with the internal HD  and proceeded to repair them. Following that I trried to restartt and it ran into the same difficulties and did not restart. Subsequently I ran disc utilities and it reports the internal HD to be fine. I've also tried several times to boot the computer and restore from my Time Machine backups and it will not complete the restore. I do get to the screens where I can select the volume to restore from, the volume to restore to, and so forth. After these efforts were not successful, I finally tried to re-download OSX and do a clean system restore, it progressed nearly to completion and then aborted the system installation without completing.
    Since having this problem I've therefore been unable to use the computer in Mac mode. I had just about concluded that my hard disc must be replaced, when I decided to see if I could restart running Windows (bootcamp), and I was able to do that successfully. The hard disc is therefore not damaged, or at least the partition of the hard disc used by Windows is not damaged.
    Is my most likely option to replace the hard disc or is there something I can still do, in order to see if the hard disc can be restored using a saved backup, before I replace it?
    I have the further complication of finding that the Apple store will not replace the hard disc for my computer because it is over 5 years old. I can probably locate a shop such as Best Buy locally who can do that, or I can simply purchase an external hard disc and use that as my primary hard disc until I either replace the internal hard disc or simply replace the computer. Since it is a 7 year old iMac, it would not be surprising to have to replace the hard disc after this length of time. I also see that there are instructions available online to explain how to replace the internal hard disc myself, but I'm unsure at this point whether or not I want to do it myself.

    Lacking any responses to my initial post above, I will briefly update how I resolved this issue today.
    Installed new external hard disc, 1 TB WD My Passport for Mac, and straightforward setup involving first installing current OS X operating system, then system migrator utility to rebuild the same setup as saved in latest Time Machine backup. The whole process was somewhat time consuming due to my internet connection speed and USB data transfer speeds but it went without any issues. The computer now boots up and operates identical in all respects to how it did before the problem occurred.
    Regarding the internal HD of my iMac, if I now run Disc Utility to verify the disc, it reports "appears to be OK". However, viewing the disc usage in "About This Mac" window, it displays as entirely empty. Opening it in the finder also shows only a "Apple Hot News.mbox" file and a single .jpeg image, and .nothing else.
    Interestingly, the Bootcamp partition of my iMac's internal HD continues to work fine and appears unaffected by the problem. I use bootcamp rarely but still will plan to set up a replacement bootcamp volume on the new hard disc soon, in order to take its place.
    That the problem surfaced coincident with the software update may have been nothing more than bad luck? At this point I have no reason to suspect that the softward update had anything to do with the difficulties.

  • TS3274 iPad does not start after the latest software update

    After downloading the latest software update on 25 April 2014, my iPad does not start. The reset mechanism does not have any effect. I would be thankful for advice.

    If the reset doesn't work, force iPad into recovery mode.
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

  • Problem after downloading latest software update

    Just downloaded the latest software update and it has totally fried my Z10. Can't turn it on, doesn't charge. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Hi Agrajag17,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
    Was the software update interupted at all? Was it a wireless update and was your BlackBerry Z10 smartphone connected to a power source during the update?
    Do you see an LED light when you connect it to a power source and try removing and reinserting the battery again?
    I look forward to your response.

  • HT1222 iLife apps fail to launch after running latest Software Update

    Hello,
    I ran the Software Update (running Snow Leopard on a MBP) on Feb 6 which updated Remote Desktop (never use it) and also had a Security Update 2012-001 v1.1
    Used Mail and Safari successfully after that but noticed Opera failing to launch. Thought it was an issue with Opera so didn't pay it much mind.
    Tonight (Feb 7) I wanted to off load photos from my phone and discovered that iPhoto wouldn't launch and neither will iTunes. I haven't seen any other discussions related to this, but if there is one, please point me in that direction. Cheers.

    Miriam,
    I read the selection in MacFixit and went through the steps that they suggested.
    I even downloaded MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.10PPC.dmg and when I went to re-install it the program Installer quit unexpectedly in the same manner that Safari, Mail, and Software Update did.
    I also noted that when I tried to start either Safari or Mail using the terminal (I don't have much expertise in this area) they stated that there was a segmentation fault
    Here is what was on the terminal screen:
    Last login: Tue Jul 17 12:28:25 on ttyp1
    /Applications/Utilities/Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Installer; exit
    Welcome to Darwin!
    wilbur-purdues-imac-g5:~ wilbur$ /Applications/Utilities/Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Installer; exit
    Segmentation fault
    logout
    [Process completed]
    It seems that I can install other programs using Installer, but I cannot do the upgrade. Maybe I have the wrong file.
    Thanks for the support so far.

  • Battery issue in q10 after the latest software update 10.2.1.2102

    Hi after i updated the latest software the first issue i had was this error msg "www.bberror.com/bb10-0015" and obviously couldnt switch on my phone, i immediately ran to the service centre and they got it fixed...
    But after a few hours my phone started behaving strange,
    1> It heats up like crazy without using it at all and
    2> My battery drains out within a few minutes without even using it and then again i get to see the same error message "www.bberror.com/bb10-0015"
    But when i put my phone on charge after a few seconds it gets switched on, and the battery level shows 0%... Have tried charging it to full 100% and then removing it from the charger but again same result... Have to keep it connected to the charger whole time now, but still my phone gets switched off on its own again and again... Helppppppppppppp

    It is possible... and the easiest way to determine if it is, is to get a new battery and find out.
    if it the error continues, then we will move to the next troubleshooting step.

  • Cannot get my wi-fi to vturn on on IPhone 4S to do latest software update?

    I cannot get my wi-fi turned on to do the latest software update

    If you need to do a software update and can't get wifi, you could try doing it over your Mobile Data but it will take longer.

  • Bug after the latest software update...

    I downloaded the new update (1.3 if I'm right) 2 days ago, well it fixed a few things, but tbh since I installed it I cannot view my pictures in full screen, cause when I select one only a black screen comes in and nothing else! It doesn't freeze down it just doesn't show anything. Is this the problem of the software update or maybe I did something wrong? Has anybody else experienced this too? Help me out please!

    I'm in the same situation and haven't been able to find any info either. I hadn't connected the fact that I did an update with it to be honest. I can see the thumbnails and if I use the jog wheel as if scrolling and then go back to the menu it looks like its been flicking though the pics but the screen remains black.

  • My imessaging doesn't work after the latest software update and was told that i will have to reset my phone will i lose my contacts if they are back up to icloud and how do i get them back from icloud?

    i need to know whether or not i will still be able to get my contacts back if i reset my phone to factory specifications

    If they are synced to iCloud and appear on icloud.com, they will reappear on your phone when you sign back into your account.  As a precaution, you could use an app like My Contacts Backup to back them up before you restore if you wish.  I would also recommend as a precaution that you import your camera roll photos and videos to your computer before restoring, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
