Iphone 4 stuck after ios 6 update

I did the update and now I have the plug in to itunes logo on the screen. when I do this it tells me myphone is in recovery mode and to reset. I've tried resetting using the home button and sleep/wake button for 10 seconds and all i get is the apple logo followed by the same plug into itunes screen of death. how do I reset my phone?

It was new. Interestingly I have just discovered something...
After the restore from recovery, it comes up with this message:
Once this disappears, the message that the phone is in recovery mode appears immediately. However if I disconnect the phone while the above message is still showing (even though it says not to) everything is fine. I can then restore from backup, but once again this message appears and the same thing happens... if I leave the phone plugged in, I get a message saying the phone is in recovery mode but if I quickly unplug it, all is fine and restored from backup!
I now have a working phone with all my old data but I'm scared to ever plug it in to iTunes again in case it goes back into recovery mode. And ideas??

IPad and iPhone runtime errors after ios 6 update at one site I use

I use an I pad and iPhone 4S. Did iOS 6 updates and have no problems. However today I went to one site, the NGC collectors society ( registery section requiring sign in) that I use and get the following error below. I have cleared the cookies on my iPad and restarted, but still get the same error. I also made sure java script was on. The same with the iPhone. So far this is the only problem I have had with the new ios6. The site works fine with my laptop which is a MacBook Pro that is updated with the latest system software.

ITunes has a problem finding my iPhone on wifi after iOS 6 update

Since updating to iOS 6 on Thursday, I've been having problems with iTunes not finding my iPhone on wifi. I'm not having this problem with my iPad, which is first gen so no iOS update. Sometimes the phone will show up on the list when I start iTunes, most of the time it won't. I am also getting repeated pop-ups from Windows telling me that "ATH.exe has stopped working". The pop up shows up even after I click the button for "Close Program". I've tried stopping and starting the Apple Mobile Device Service. This led to the phone showing up on the list but the pop up frequency has actually now increased (not that that's necessarily related).
I do not have problems with the phone showing up in the list or syncing the phone when it's physically connected - it works exactly the way it's supposed to if it's plugged in. And I can deal with having to plug it in to sync if I have to but these constant popups are starting to drive me batty and I don't want to have to deal with them until the new iTunes comes out next month (assuming the new version will fix whatever the problem is anyway).
I am running Windows Vista 32-bit, iTunes 10.7.0.21, iPhone 3GS.

I've got the 4S and I see you have the 3GS; this isn't a device issue evidently since your post is the first that I see is NOT a newer device. I'm in total agreement on your post as well - there is absolutely no rhyme nor reason for all this and the pop-up is to the point of syncing via the cable is worth NOT having this "ATH.exe" error.
Further I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything, as per all the support forums, yet to sync via WiFi, I have to stop and start the Apple Device Service countless times. As I stated earlier, by the time I start/restart the services, it's just easier to throw it on the cable and call it a day....
One would think, by now, that Apple would be on this however I hve yet to see an Apple post as to a resolution. I suppose we will just go batty together!!! If I hear or find anything, I'll hunt down this post and post the info I've found. Thank you for reporting this so Apple realizes we're not losing our minds nor is it a Vista/Windows issue. iTunes10.7.0.21 is being used & this only started after the iOS 6 update... GRRR!!!!

IPhone 4 crashing after iOS 6 update (low memory)

Why won't my Iphone 4S restore after iOS 7 update

I downloaded the IOS 7 update for my iphone 4s & after it finished downloading it turned off & then was turning back on and then I got the picture of a USB pointing towards Itunes. I've plugged it into Itunes & it still won't let me reset it, even though I have the newest Itunes, I'm running out of options and getting frustrated. I've held down the top button & the home button at the same time & it goes right back to the same screen. HELP PLEASE.

Restart your computer and then try to restore the phone with it again.
Also try this, plug your phone into the charger that came with it, which plugs into the wall, then reset it again by holding power and the home buttons like you did before.. It will probably go back to the screen you are seeing but that will be expected. After you do this try restoring with iTunes again.

ITunes no longer syncs to iPhone or iPad after iOS security update

I did the iOS security update on my iPhone 5 and my iPad Air. Now, iTunes will not sync with either device - neither one. In both cases, I get the error message "iPhone5 (or iPad) can not be synced. An unknown error occured (1140)."
I then did the iTunes update that just came out - still the same problem.
The Mac is a MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 7 running OSX 10.7.5. Everything worked fine before the iOS security update.
What is going on? What to do?

Finally, I had time to do a on-line support session with the Apple Care help people (excellent). We went through and verified a lot of things. Finally, he had me run the disk utility and run "repair disk permissions". That resolved things and it works now.
Also related is that the iOS 7.1 update installed a lot of stuff on the iPhone - including iMovie, Numbers, Pages, Keynotes - stuff that I will use on the iPad but not on the iPhone. The result of automatically installing all these things on the iPhone was to but it way over the limit on memory. I deselected thos apps (and a few others) plus some movies and am now below the memory limit on the iPhone.
Things are now working well with both the iPhone and iPad - both syncing correctly. So, with that, I will close out this case.

Unable to restore iPhone 4 (GSM) after IOS 5 update attampt

Hey,
I downloaded iTunes 10.5 and then tried to update iPhone 4 (gsm) to IOS 5.

“The iPhone “iPhone” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1).”
I have not jailbroken the iPhone, i only have dozen or so apps, synced it every other day.

i tried the DUF mode before connecting it to the pc.
also, i tried downgrading back and restoring with the following ipsw packages: IOS 4.3.2, 4.3.4, 4.3.5 and 5.
different error code appears with each ipsw.
in the last attampt it got through the whole progress bar (so it might now be a problem with the firmware), but then it err and gave me the same massage.
what shell I do now? plz help me.

I managed to upgrade to ios5 ok but now when im trying to restore from the backup to get all my apps, photos, contacts etc back i get the same -1 error message. Really hope someone can help please!!!

IPhone 5 Slow After iOS 8 Update

Just like many Apple users I was eagerly awaiting the newest software update from Apple's iOS. I've owned several Apple products in the past and every update has worked perfectly fine. I take care of my electronics and am very careful with my memory usage, so I am able to get the best performance and very little decay with usage. As most users know and expect, our beloved computers tend to "slow down" with time. Sadly this wasn't the case with iOS 8. I know that my iPhone is in optimal performance because due to some hardware issue Apple gave me a NEW PHONE a week before the new software update came out. My older iPhone 5 was working great and had almost no issues regarding software before I turned it in, once I got the new one everything ran just as fluid and even better! I was excited to download the new iOS. I was so careful I even updated my iOS through my Macbook because I didn't want to risk losing any of the precious memory on my portable device. Sadly ever since I downloaded iOS 8 and installed it onto my phone I have had nothing but issues. My phone is laggy and freezes with certain tasks. I have noticed a significant drop in performance ever since the update. This shocked me because Apple updates are usually pretty good. Apple computers know how to "take care" of themselves for the most part. That is why the updates were so important. I can't wait to get an update from Apple addressing all these performance issues, because quite frankly guys... your iOS 8 performs just like what one would expect from a BETA version. At least on the iPhone 5.
I have been an Apple fan for a while and have purchased Apple products because of their reliability. Not just because of the precious items and care that goes into each hardware, but because of the elements that makes Apple unique. You're UI used to leave me without a complaint. It always has been something to brag about and not only with my phone, but also with my Macbook. Each update had something better. It's innovative and simple, beautiful, and user friendly. Sadly this is the only time I've been let down by Apple. I wish I could go back to iOS 7, because clearly the new iOS is not ready... Hope you guys come out with an update soon.
I don't pretend to know everything about computers, but I do understand how most of them work. Also I know that with effort I could go back to iOS 7 on my phone, but in all honesty I don't want to because I'm not the type to go back once something "better" and newer is released. I expect more from Apple in the new future.
FYI I'm posting this mainly for Apple to take notice of my discontent and also as user feedback for them to keep improving and hopefully have some impact with future products that Apple comes out with.

Thanks for the quick response ,
it did help alot and now the iphone works much much better and faster.
can you please try to figure out how to fix the messages search so it work fine
its give me now result maximum up to 3 days old
thanks friend

IPhone 4 resets after iOS 6 update

I have a Sprint iPhone 4 I updated to iOS 6 and my phone was fine for a few weeks but now it resets itself. The screen goes black, the white Apple logo comes on the screen, then I get the locked screen and my phone is fine.
There is not a specific thing that I can tell that causes it. This last time my phone was locked so I went to open it and this happened. It happens once a day or every other day.
Is there a way to fix this without resetting my phone? It kind of scares me to do that since I back some stuff up with iCloud and Sync other stuff using my USB port.
How long does it take to do a reset?
Ughh. Not happy

Sorry, I used the wrong term. I was told I had to restore my phone.
That I had to first back up using iCloud then do a factory reset. I don't have much stuff on my phone but it just seems like Apple should make a patch for this or something.
On the other hand, if I restore it, it will get rid of the "other" crap on my phone.
Thanks

IPhone 4 issues after iOS 6 update

I own the iPhone 4 and updated to iOS 6. My phone is not working right anymore. I have multiple problems from sound, over shortcuts, apps to speed and battery life. How can I fix all my problems, so my phone works as it dud before I installed iOS 6?

I had the same problems! IOS 6 absoltely RUINED my iPhone 4! However, restoring AS A NEW iPhone fixed my problems! I had done a bunch of restores, but always restored from my backup. Restoring as a new phone has aleviated my phone of all my problems. make sure you back up ur contacts, calendars to the cloud before you do this. Your music, apps, pictures and videos will all be able to be put back, however contacts and emails will only be restored if you back up to the cloud BEFORE the restore. But definitely give this a try. Worked for me!

After ios 8 update I can no longer play music through my car. I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue - whihc has its own cable made to use with iPhone 4 - I use a apple adapter to converst to use with 5.

After ios 8 update I can no longer play music through my car. I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue - which has its own cable made to use with iPhone 4 - I use a apple adapter to converst to use with 5. Has been working fine up until update. Is there a fix for this? The car does not have usb

Here I come to save the daaaaaaaaaay!!!
Had the same issue with my Nissan Rogue 2011.
This listed below will fix it...
Go to General > Restrictions > CarPlay -- Make sure Carplay is DISABLED. (The new IOS 8 enables this on default)
Go to General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
The Nissan Rogue radio system was never designed to work with CarPlay. By default, CarPlay feature comes enabled when you install IOS 8. Suckz, right?
You're very welcome! Have a great day!
Sincerely,
The Superhero

That is a new "feature" described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and changing "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off
