Iphone 4 not working with iOS 6, Iphone 4 not working with iOS 6
iOS 6 is not working on my iPhone 4. When the update/restore finishes it gives me the (-1) error and cannot finish the update. Please help.
Hey.. I have had this issue since yesterday afternoon.. Some people are saying to keep restoring again and again until it finally goes through.. I have done so like 10 times on my MAC and then I used my husband's PC and tried it 4 times.. No success.. I called apple support, but no help came from there at the end, and the only thing they were able to suggest to me is to sell me a new phone just like mine for a discounted price.. **** NO
Anyways after about 18h of search and stress I came across this link:

That will only make it possibe to go backward.. You will end up back with the IOS 5, but at least you will have a working phone and it will bring back all your contacts and everything else that you ever had backed up on icloud and on your computer. There might be descripencies with the Applications but again this is an issue easily solved, you can always download them back.
Two more things: One, you do not have to download the old version of the itunes, the newest version worked for me without any issues
When choosing to download the older IOS 5.1.1, you will need to figure out whether your carrier is GSM or CDMA but you can easily google this info online..
Well hope that will work for you like it did for me

Since updating my Iphone to ios 8, my hands free in the car (Radiosat) is not working correctly. The phone pairs ok with car, and my phone is recognised but then it cuts off the radio and says that I'm in a call, I can't cancel the call or do anything. I have taken my car to my local dealer but they say the Radiosat is working ok?
Hello there stidhambr15,
I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software

Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

I have a Verzion iPhone 4s with iOS 7 installed on it and the friend my friends dose not seem like it is working, and it is when it is trying to find a certain person, it says location unavaiable, and the other person with the other iphone it friend my friend is on in locations service and on the verzion iPhone it is on
Little hard to understand what you are asking. Let me guess that this not an Iphone4S issue. Its a problem with your service provider. Contact them.

Continuous with the problem, the headphone does not work after having my iphone ios 8.0.2 updated
the headset does not work after having my iphone ios 8.0.2 updated to me is very annoying to have to be answering speakerphone is not private and can not go with the hands-free all the time
I had the same issue until I updated my apps through iTunes. I had over 100 updates, but none of them showed on my iPod. After they updated everything started syncing like it is supposed. Go to the apps library and check for updates. After everything syncs leave your iPhone/ipod/ipad connected if the spinning arrows at the top is still spinning. It means that things are still being added. If you go to settings > general > about, you will see it loading songs, videos, photos, etc. If you back out of "about" and then go back to it you will see the numbers for each one change.

This isn't achely a question it's about iPod not iPhone but can Apple. Make all apps work with iOS 7 even when it's really old
And it's totally impractical for any OS to provide complete backwards compatibility in perpetuity. So no, Apple cannot grant your request. As WJ said, it's the developers' reponsibility to provide updates to their applications to be compatible with newer operating system releases, whatever the platform might be.

My apple extreme wireless network is working fine with two Macs but ios devices (iPhone & iPad) will not connect. I can see the network and it's telling me I'm connected but Safari says I'm not connected to the internet. Everything was working until the ISP went down. Any suggestions?
Thank you, I've tried the support tips (resetting the network, checking security settings, etc.) and rebooting the network devices several times to no avail. I've actually been working on this for several days (when I can afford to have the network down).
What I have to determine is what has changed in the setup...from when it WAS working just fine with all devices. -
Suddenly, I cannot sync my Boselink with iPhone. Iphone 4s says Bose sound...not connected. I JUST updated software to iOS 6.1.3. Why isn't this working? I can not play pandora on my Bose.
They are absolutely now paired after doing all you said, as I reset both the Bose Link and the Iphone. Now we have a pair, but no sound on the speaker or the iphone when they are connected. I know they are connected b/c the iphone says they are in the blue tooth setting AND the Bose has a solid blue tooth light on.
Now what? This is beyond frustrating and only happened when I UPDATED ios!
Thank you! -

iPhone 5 with ipodcable/30pins adapter not working after update IOS 7. The car radio is not responding when I connect the iPhone. iPhone 4s with IOS7 without the 30 pin adapter is working. So I think that the 30 pin adapter is the problem.

What features of iOS 6 will not work with iPhone 4s?
What features of iOS 6 will not work with the iPhone 4s? There are over 200 added features, but what will be missing on a 4s that you will get with a 5?
All of the features will work, however, some features wont work depending on what country you live in. If you life in America, canada or the UK you dont have to worry about anything

Iphone 5 with iOS 7 sms not working.
Hi,
I just bought a new iphone 5 yesterday and I'm not able to sent/receive any sms. I got iOS 6 preloaded with my phone which I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 with a hope to get this problem solved but still I'm not able to sent/receive sms.
I've my sms service enabled from carrier provider and all the settings are correct. I've been searching over the internet for solutions and tried almost everything but no luck so far.
FYI, I'm from Mumbai, India and using Airtel.Hey BilalBudhani,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues sending/receiving SMS messages. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
If you can't send or receive messages
- Restart your device.
- Update to the latest iOS Software.
- If you are trying to send a message to multiple recipients and you type in each contact manually instead of using the contacts list, make sure you tap return instead of space to separate each one.
If you still can't send or receive SMS or MMS messages
1. See the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant.
2. Verify that every phone number in your contacts list includes an area code.
3. When sending to existing contacts, ensure that your contacts include the full phone number, and not just the information needed to dial locally.
4. If you have recently ported your number from another carrier, please contact your current carrier to verify that the porting process has completed successfully.
Thanks,
Matt M. -

Why does data/3g work on my O2 sim but not with Three sim (iphone 5)?
as the title says...
i have been using an O2 sim for a while in my iphone 5 without problems. today i tried a sim from the three network. calls and texts work fine, but i can not get any data connection to work.
i have been on the phone to three and tried many different settings/network resets etc.
when i put the sim in the phone updated automatically - i was directed to go to "settings>about", where it asked me to update. i clicked yes. after a long phone call with three, they say all my settings are correct.
i have tried the same sim in an iphone 4 and the data works fine with it, so there's definitely something a miss with the actual iphone 5 handset.
i am running ios 7.0.4
(in setting > about)
carrier: Three 15.6
Model: ND662B/A
Modem firmware 5.02.00
any ideas?
thanksHi. :)
Thanks for the reply.
When I insert the three SIM card there is no option for apn. From what I've read, three do not allow it. The apn settings show up fine with my O2 sim.
I have noticed something strange when playing about with the data. If I open tunein radio app with wifi and steam a live broadcast, if I switch on data and then switch off wifi, the stream still plays. Then when I look at my data usage it shows data has been used. If I try and use data at the start of the app, it will not connect and I still can't get the data to work on anything else. So some slight element of the data connection is getting through. -
Hi I recently upgraed to iOS 6.1 on my Iphone 5. After the upgrade, it was all good. Over the weekend I went Austria for Ski. While taking the photos, I simply locked the phone and kept it my pocket as I had to go. After sometime when I opened my phone, I could hardly see anything. I tried to unlock with pin and tried restarting with great difficulty. But nothing worked. Coming back home today, I have tried restore the software and still no luck. I have tried restore almost 5 to 6 times, but the screen is still blank. I dont know if what state it is in and I can not do anything to fix it. I am very annoyed with the support service as they can not be reached on Sunday evening.
I could manage to book a call tomorrow but I have lot of work over next few days at work. Can someone please help how to fix this issue now? Any suggestions will be much apperciated.
Thanks,

I recently upgraded to iTunes 11.1.5 and now my iPod Nano is not recognized in iTunes. I also upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 7.1. i Tunes on my computer does recognize my iPhone. What is the problem with my iPod Nano not being recognized?
I would think, Twins1995, that if we are having the problem, others are as well. Hopefully, Apple will shortly issue a follow-up software release to fix the problem. Or is that just wishful thinking on my part.
It would be helpful, if there were some kind of work-around in the interim, so we can use our devices. Pretty frustrating when you consider that all of the hardware and software is produced by Apple.
