Iphone 4 Won't boot up, keeps timing out

Yesterday I installed the latest software update and now my phone won't turn on. The apple comes up, then eventually it times out and turns back off and then back on showing the apple then timesout again. Can't get it to completely turn off or boot up.

Google "iPhone DFU mode". Restore it in DFU mode to force a reinstall of iOS.

Its weird, when I plug it into wall AC, I was able to boot into the home screen, but there's wifi cant turn on. Plug out the phone turn off immediately. I tried to jailbreak it with snowbreeze because someone has the same problem with his iphone 4, but snowbreeze doens't work with iphone 4s.

Iphone 5 won't boot up

My Dad's iPhone 5 won't boot up. It only shows the iTunes symbol/lightning cable symbol. I've connected it to my own laptop with a current version of iTunes and it asked me to update or restore the device. I tried updating (since he didn't want to lose his photos, etc. with a restore), fully downloading the 1.7ish GB file, but the phone displayed the apple logo and a gray bar underneath and my iTunes gave the following error:
"The iPhone "iPhone" could not be updated. An unknown error occurred (27)."
And then this:
"Your iPhone can't be update; you must restore it to factory settings.
If you previously backed up the iPhone, click Restore Backup after the restore process completes."
I would do a restore but my Dad doesn't use a computer so he hasn't done any backups and he hopes for a chance to recover the data from the phone. Is there any way to access and recover the data without the phone booting up properly? Could an Apple tech at a genius bar be able to recover the data? I don't want to wipe it if there is any hope.
Help would be very appreciated. Thanks.

The iPhone is in recovery mode and the data is gone. You must restore as new and the phone will be wiped. If your dad had iCloud backup on, you might be able to get the data back.

Download of 2.1 keeps timing out and won't complete.. somethings missing?

When I am trying to download iphone update of 2.1 my computer keeps timing out. I got an error message that some component was missing...please assist

The error message came when i was dnloading itunes 8 that an important component was missing and warned that if i continued with the install there might be problems. well the installation completed but when i went to download the iphone 2.1 update the download interrupts and i get a "timed out" error. i turned off anything that could possibly start. screensavers etc but don't know what could cause this firewalls
Try doing what dynamite said by installing itunes 8. Maybe do a google about the error. Ring microsoft or last resort is a reformat.

My iphone four won't boot up in itunes. Help!

Hi there,
My laptop recently had a software update and went wrong, so took in the apple store. They rebooted the system and cleaned it up, but now my iphone four won't boot up in Itunes. Any thoughts on what I can do?
Thanks very much in advance.

I am in a Mac but I am having a similar problem with my iPod Touch (3g) and iPad 1. Tried everything in the support article, including uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes. When I did that, it worked for two syncs and then stopped working. It does charge the device, and it opens iPhoto and I can import photos from the device to the computer, but not the other way. Have tired different cables, and no help. It does sync to my windoze computer at work no problem. All started after reinstalling Snow Lepoard. OS and iTunes all up to date.

Can anyone help me!!! i have an i pod touch and the 4 digit passcode has been forgotten. i have tried a number of times to restore the factory settings on i tunes and have put the i pod into recovery mode, but attempts keep timing out

my son has forgotten his 4 digit pass code for hios i pod touch. i have been instructed to disable it and connect to i tunes to restore factory settings. when I do this the download time is anything up to 20 hours and it keeps timing out. it is now saying that i tunes cannot connect to the i pod because it is locked with a passcode and saying that i must enter the passcode - can anyone help?

- To get around the passcode issue, place the iPod in recovery mode. For how to see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- If you are getting a network timeout error during the restore, disable the computer's security software during the restore.

IPhone v3 download... network connection timed out... stopped (err = -3249)

Trying to download iPhone Software update v3 ... furthest I've got so far is 11Mb / 230.1Mb. Eg: shows average 80kb/sec download speed in iPhone Software Update but then eventually goes down to nothing & therefore bombs out...
There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone ... The network connection timed out.
zero KB of 230.1MB - stopped (err = -3249)
Why doesnt 'resume' actually work like a 'download manager'? Eg: should resume from where it stopped (eg: about 1.2Mb downloaded), not start from the very beginning again... tried:
* resetting broadband modem
* turning iphone off/on
* iphone passcode is off
* turned off AVG virus scanner
* disbled windows vista firewall
* broadband modem connected via LAN (not wirelessly) & no firewall turned on
* STILL having issues ... doing my head in now LOL
This is probably about the 10th or more attempt... any help please?
Have:
iTunes v8.2.023
Windows Vista
iPhone 3G (trying to download v3 software) with 6.6Gb free space

USB 2.0 ...
when iphone not plugged in can still seem to 'resume' the download in itunes -> store -> downloads -> iPhone software update. Still having same problem though... managed to get as far as 15Mb, thats it.
Virgin Broadband 3G (Optus 3G) which is known to be flaky (# of drop-outs) but why wouldn't itunes/apple have a download manager that allows downloads to keep downloading during internet connection short interupts. If I click 'pause' in the downloads screen, it goes back to 0Mb downloaded... so resume/pause doesn't work. Have probably tried over 20 times now...
