Iphone 4S frozen after recent IOS update ?
My Iphone4S was working perfectly before installing the IOS update on 03/14/14. Now it is frozen, I have no acces to restore from ITunes because the access is password protected. The guys at Apple Store said I need a new phone. The Supervisor at Apple Care, states that this is a hardware problem wich was present before, but this not affected the phone's operation, until the recent update was installed.
Since my Phone was out of warranty, I am told I have to get a new phone. My only mistake was to trust an update from Apple could be installed without damaging my IPhone. !!
Any recommendation on what to to do, besides buying a new phone ???
Oooooh, so you HAVE to have an extra computer? One for restoring and one to use to everything else?
I had this problem when updating to 4.0, 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 - only thing that got the phone going again was actually to JAILBREAK the bugger with a software download from dev.team and using that.
This can't be right!!! Apple, get it fixed or I'll stand clear of collecting my iPhone4 tomorrow, if this is how it has to be in the future. You have had several months to clear this mess up!

Help! iPhone 4 frozen after disconnected software update
I'm really hoping someone can help me.
I was running a software update on an iPhone 4, and it sort of froze halfway through. After about 2 hours I stupidly disconnected the phone, I don't know what I was thinking! Now it's stuck on a screen showing the iTunes logo and a wire. I have tried reconnecting but it doesn't do anything. iTunes is still saying its updating my phone and not letting me close it. I tried turning the phone off and on again and it is still showing the screen. I also tried putting the phone into DFU mode and it didnt do anything
Please can anyone help?Force quit iTunes, then re-boot your computer & force your phone into recovery mode:
Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, restore from backup. -

I have a older MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed. I've changed my USB hub, reinstalled iTunes and run disc cleanup. No luck.
You said that your computer will sync other iPods? Are they iPod touches? Other iPod use different drivers the the touch And iPhone and iPad).
You can try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Does it charge? Does the iPod work?
I would try on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

If defective and not abused you will walk out with a replacement -
I have been using facetime on my iphone5 for a while and after the recent IOS update, I cannot seems to use my facetime any longer. what went wrong?
'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -
I have started getting spammed on multiple Apple products (iPhone and iPad) with FaceTime calls since the recent IOS update. Is there any feature or setting I can use locally to restrict incoming calls to a FaceTime account without going to the carrier?
After calling AT&T tech support one more time, and explaining to them that the glitch was on their network, they admitted that the problem was at their tower...
I continued to use the phone on EDGE mode for two more days until the problem was fixed.
I even got a call back from a tech support guy asking me if my phone was working properly....
I wish they would have admitted to the problem before I sat at the apple store for 2 hours. -

My battery life on my iphone 4 has been TERRIBLE since the most recent iOS update!
My battery life on my iphone 4 has been TERRIBLE since the most recent iOS update. Is anyone else experiencing this? At night I use a white noise app, and up to the most recent update, I never was below half battery in the morning. Now my phone is completely dead in the morning. I've noticed it draining faster in general since the update as well, but that particular app was just the best example.
One of the new features on the iPhone 4 is Multitasking ; it lets you do multiple things at once. For example, while iPhone is busy downloading a movie from iTunes, you can switch to the Safari app and browse IMDb in the meantime. So there's no more waiting around.
Each time you open an app and then press the home button, the app is still open. At the end, you may have too many apps opened at the same time.
To close apps, double click on the home button. Your opened apps will appear; hold one of them, then click on the red close to close an app.
Close as many as possible if you don't need them. -
After seven ios updates, why is iBooks still the only app that won't synch between iphone & ipad?!?
Hi there,
Thanks for the reply. I did think that could be the case but then other books would also show up as apps on phone but not counted as an app. Maybe book apps downloaded from the app store work in this way whereas books bought from the ibooks app show in ibooks and not as apps.
I guess that would make sense, it must be because they are books but downloaded from the app store rather than the book store so they are visible as an app but don't actually get counted as an app.
Would you think that's the case too?
Thanks

IPad crashing and freezing after 8 ios updates
My iPad 1 has been crashing and freezing after completing the most recent ios updates, what could be wrong?
Can there be any person who can say that Apple treats customers as valuable persons ?
Way how IPAD 2 users are treated, served and issues solved shows clearly how they just care of new purchases. All crashes, slowness, battery consumption, extremely bad user experience with slow and jamming UI etc... Anyway this is over now with me as I'm moving out from IPAD / IOS due this experience. Ride was a good but now its over as trust is totally destroyed by Apple.
