IPhone 4S taking forever to sync after iOS 7 update

My iPhone 4S is taking forever to completely sync the back up after updating to the new iOS 7 operating system. It's stuck in step 6 of 6 'waiting for items to copy'. Please help!

I was having this same problem with iPhone 5 with the latest version of iOS 7 and iTunes. It was just taking forever on the 'waiting for items to copy' step.
I disabled Genius on my iTunes setup, and immediately it resumed and completed that step. Seems like it was waiting for Genius results that weren't there, or weren't available.
I have a large iTunes library and still like to manually manage the music on my iPhone.
I guess I'll live without Genius until Apple can fix this.
iTunes Genius can cause manual sync of music to iPhone to hang for a long time.

My Iphone 4S doesn't turn on after IOS 7 updates

Hei guys,
I have an iphone 4S. Few days before the release of IOS7 I managed to download the beta version to my iphone. Everything was going fine until the first update of IOS7. It shuted up completelly. I manage to make it alive again, but today, it got ran out of battery and now I can't turn it on any more. I tried quite a few things. My Itunes recognizes the iphone when I plug it onto my computer, however, everytime I press the hold buttom, it doens't turn on. I've tried holding home and hold buttom as well, but everything I have is a weird screen with a big sort of finger print white in the middle of a black screen.
Do you guys know what I can do in order to solve the problem? I've restored and resetted the iphone as well, but it insists in not turning on.
Thank you guys for your attention
Leandro

Hi Enriquedelgado35,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has steps you can take if your iPhone won't turn on without being connected to power:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Cheers,
- Ari

Iphone 3gs does not turn on after ios 6 update

After the ios6 update, my iphone 3gs does not turn on. I see the apple logo, after a minute, it boots again and i see the logo again. This process seems to continue like a circle. After a search the net, i see that i am not the only one. A quick fix and suggestions please, as i need my phone of course.
Btw, Apple, i know that this is an old hardware and i will buy the new iphone 5 when it is available here in my country in December. But of course, you claşmed this update supports my 3gs, you should immediately find a fix
Regards..

Well, i don't see an another solution possible; you should try again and again to restore. Btw, my phone seemed to operate strange (even the stock mail app began to crash) so i tried hard reset (home button + sleep/wake button until seeing the apple logo). After that i found my phone again in dfu mode this night so began restoring again now.
It seems that apple didn't tested ios6 enough with the 3GS. I have a 32 GB phone so this will be near 60 gb download from the icloud over my broadband connection.

Iphone 4 does not receive calls after iOS 6 update

Hi
can anyone help me?
Since the iOS 6 update my wife's phone has not been working properly, every so often calls are diverted to answer phone and only register to advise of a missed call, I have tried the following:
restarted the phone, taken the sim card out and then back in again, reset the settings and logged in to a different apple ID. The only thing I haven't done is to restore back to factory settings and start again.
Has anyone else experienced this and if so were you able to correct it.
Thanks for your time

Ipod Touch(4G) won't sync after iOS 5 update

After I updated to iOS 5 my ipod could no longer sync with my iTunes. When plugged in it will appear on the left of iTunes but the sync button is grayed out and unpressible. I have tried restoring a backup on the ipod, resetting to factory settings, reinstalling iTunes, rebooting computer/ipod, and creating a new library. I have never had a problem like this before. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I have the same problem and read where one person turned off ICloud. I do not have I Cloud activated so I went ahead and turned off WiFi. Now it is syncing.
It used to not get past Step 1 of Syncing and it would say "Fail to Sync" or something like that.

Why my iPhone 4S keep reseting by itself after iOS 7 update?

Hello:
This s not funny at all. After I updated to IOS 7.0.3 couple weeks ago, there s several times my phone is reseting by itself.
When I try to turned ON again, s telling me the battery s dead and need to connect it to the power source.
After connected, is coming back again to the live and telling me the right charge of battery I had before.
Battery it was never empty or close to be. Always is around 50 % of capacity.
This happens on the middle of a call, texting or mailing.
Tell me what I could do to stop this mess up,
Please.

I tried everything. I restarted it, I putted it on factory settings, I deleted every App but nothing helped.
In Apple Store, they told me that it is a hardware problem and my phone isn't able to use the new iOS 7.1 because my phone is too old but it's only 2,5 years old.
I suspect that something in that conversation was seriously misunderstood. The iPhone 4S runs iOS 7 without any issues.
If the device has a hardware issue, then it does not matter what version of iOS is on the device, it will not function properly.

IPad will no longer sync after iOS 5 update

I updated my Original iPad to iOS 5 and now it no longer syncs; it stays stuck at the preparing to backup step. This happens whether I try it via WiFi or via the standard way with the cable.
I'm thinking I should do a Restore from Backup and get it back to iOS 4.3.5.

I've been stymied at this backup failure (and thus sync and update since both go through the backup process first) for a long time, ever since release 4.3.3 or thereabouts.
Stay with me, please; this was part of my recent troubleshooting process. I tried using the new install of Safari and sure enough, it only loaded blank pages. iTunes (new release) Help also loaded only blank pages and then reported "computer not connected to the internet".
In seeking a resolution to the Safari connection issue, I came across this advice from Mike41: "If anyone runs across my post of 7/21/2011 regarding Safari 5.1 not connecting to the Internet on my Windows Vista system, BorisKon suggested I run a command prompt window as administrator and execute the command "netsh winsock reset" (then be sure to reboot). I tried this and now Safari 5.1 can access the Internet. See the discussion athttps://discussions.apple.com/message/15734035#15734035. I had to reboot for the command to take effect. "
I did this on my system and now Safari, iTunes, and the iPad backup all function 100%.
Start/Run/"cmd" without quotes.
Type "netsh winsock reset" without quotes.
Reboot the computer.
Happy, happy, joy, joy...

Cannot sync after ios 5 update Nov 2011

Just updated Iphone 4 with ios5 but when I plug in phone to pc only option is to restore from back up (completed twice and just end up back where you started) or set up as new phone. How do i access the phone the reload music/apps etc and how can I sync phone again like the good old days. Got an error message during update but was undefined?????
Cheers
PS Getting seriously P***ed off with these updates that wipe everything.

Thanks, did the trick but not the most intuitive route, I was convinced "set up new phone" was not the right route.

IPhone system wide audio volume issues after iOS 5 update...

I have an iPhone 4 (CDMA) that I updated to iOS 5 on launch day. I didn't notice it at first, and maybe it's just my imagination, but the volume of everything on the phone seems to have gotten a bit lower. Not only music, but also all ringtones, SMS tones... everything. I checked to make sure all the volume sliders are up; they are. I also made sure volume and accessibility settings are set appropriately; they are as well. I'm stumped on this and unfortunately I don't have another iPhone running iOS 4 to test this with. I have searched the forums here and on Google to no avail; it seems that either people haven't begun posting about this yet, or it's not a problem with most users. Is anyone else noticing this and if so, is there a workaround?

Hey there,
Thanks for the tip. I tried it, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. I noticed a glitch a few days ago - when I unlocked my phone and went to listen to some music (through an ihome), there was barely any sound. I touched the volume slider (which was already at max volume) and it shot back up to normal. I still think that ringtones/smstones are softer than iOS 4 though.

My iPhone 5 lock screen is unresponsive after iOS 7 update.

It's weird because the new iOS worked for about a day then started to act laggy. When I restarted the phone the lock screen is totally unresponsive.
All help appreciated.
M

Oh, and yes, I have already done the hard reset trick of holding down power and home keys at same time.
Also tried to restore through iTunes but it won't let me because I have "find my phone" turned on and it tells me to turn it off before I can restore it. But it can't even get into the iPhone settings to make the changes.
I like the look and feel of iOS 7, but I wish it would actually work.

Ipod Touch 5th gen won't sync after iOS update

iPod Touch will not sync after iOS 7 update. It's stucked at "changes are being applied" and won't go past that point. Tried 5 times and got the same problem. I have the latest iTunes installed.
Any suggestions?

Try a cold reboot of your phone / iPod. I.e. hold power + home button until it reboots.
Worked for me.

Camera issues after ios 5 update

my iphone 4 issues are as follow after ios 5 update:
camera sometimes takes low resolution photos (without zoom)
camera sometimes goes blank (blank screen)
can anyone help?

You probably haven't "lost" the zoom feature on your iPhone 4, you probably missed that you now activate it using the pinch to zoom rather than tapping on the screen...

My iphone 4 is taking forever to sync...I let it sync all night and only completed about 1/4 of of the songs downloaded. Apps seem to be fine. I have tried restoring it and that didn't do anything. Can someone please help?

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
