Restore from Backup in iTunes would recover them.

IPhone crashes during updates requiring restore & going over capacity

During the last two update 7.0.3 and 7.0.4 my phone failed mid update requiring a restore. This is a major headache. I am using an iPhone 4S and really don't have the time to keep having to restore the phone which takes a looooong time.
Moreover with the 7.0.4 update the phone mysteriously went from 1GB of space free to 500mb overcapacity.
Since I use my phone near capacity this is a real frustration for me.
Usually during restores if anything I find that the software seems to compact the space used when the apps are reloaded.
Not this time.
What happened?

I finally rid the error (Windows Firewall was blocking iTunes).
I did the restore but I'm still getting weird capacity ratings. They are constantly changing too.
Now it says it's not over capacity, but I have 0.36gb to spare - except it won't upload all of my songs and it's stuck at 3600 songs. When my library was 5700 songs.
Then after that, it said that everything was uploaded and I had 14gb to spare, which changes to 13gb to spare depending on when I connect it to my iPhone. (But again, not all of my stuff is uploaded).
So I know there's definitely a problem here, because the over capacity is not consistent.

"I bought it a couple of weeks ago"
Bought it from where? I ask because given what you have already tried, it would appear that this iPod needs either service or exchanging for another one.
Did you buy this as new from a reputable source?

My iphone crashed while updating to latest update now my PC doesnt recognise iphone 4 just shows USB

My iphone crashed while updating to latest update now my PC doesnt recognise iphone 4 just shows USB

This has happened to me too! Whatever I do isnt working! Have phoned Apple 3 times and each assistant has given me something new to do and none of them worked! So frustrating!
The help the support website gives is useful, and what they go through with you anyway. Other than that I was advised to try a new cable or USB port or try another computer to restore it on and then 'back it up from restore' on my computer after..
Hope one of these helps you guys! They were no good to me but you never know!!

IPhone crashes during backup before 1.1.2 update installation

My iPhone is crashing during the beginning of the backup phase before installing v1.1.2. It will freeze up my phone, disconnect from iTunes, & eventually restart again.
I have it plugged into a USB 2.0 port and there are no bent pins. I have Bluetooth and WiFi OFF. I closed all other open applications on my computer including iPhoto. I am currently running MAC OS X 10.4.11 and using the newest version of iTunes (v7.5).
What are my other options do I have to resolve this issue?

My iPhone does the same thing.
By comparison, my iPod has no trouble with syncing contacts,
photos, etc. but when attempting to update the iPhone,
it starts the backup phase as seen in the iTunes window,
the iPhone screen is dark. Then suddenly, the phone will beep,
its screen flashes, and we get a gray apple on the iPhone screen.
I have tried eliminating the dock. Tried two separate USB cables,
and tried the update from two different computers. Always the same result.
I have not tried to restore the iPhone, as I do not want to lose
all the phone call information. It seems to be working ok at the 1.1.1
SW level.

IPhone crashes mid-update

While updating for both 1.0.1 and 1.0.2, the iphone crashes and has to be restored, THEN updated. I haven't hacked anything on my iphone, so why is this happenening?
I don't want to lose all my settings and notes just to fix some bugs.

Hard to say on that. I would have it looked at. Have you tried a different USB connection or cable?? I had a bad cable do that to me...
Good luck

Apple tv crashed during update

My apple tv has crashed during an update. I has got stuck on step 1 of 2 preparing to update.
I may have caused this by trying to use during update.
Should i unplug and start over
Thanks

You are not supposed to use while it is downloading and applying the update. It's very likely to have caused the issue. I don't think you can just unplug and start over, though you may try.
I would suggest grabbing a micro USB cable and restoring in iTunes, which will also download the latest update

Macbook pro makes iPhone crash during synchronization

My iphone 4s kept on crashing during an itunes sync, but my new 5s has the same problem! So I'm convinced it's my macbook pro that causes the phones to crash. I've read a lot of discussions but none seem to fit my problem.
What can cause this constant crashing of my phones? It's impossible to make a backup, because it will crash every single time.
I've checked different usb ports, but no difference.
It maybe has something to do with my usb ports? How can I change usb settings? Do I have to reinstall my macbook?
I would love to hear your answers!
Thank you!

Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > open Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel onthe left side > check SMART status > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

Unfortunately a power outage at just the wrong time during updating process means that there is now no alternative but to take device to a Nokia Care point to re-install the firmware.

Ipod will not restore crashed during update

ipod crashed on update and will not work. it said to do a restore but I have tryed 2 times and both times the restore didn't work

I just did the install of 2.0.02 last and I had one dickens of a time restoring my library. Here is what happened to me. Right before doing the update it tells you that all of your music, videos etc.. will be removed from the Ipod Touch once the update is done installing. So I found a DVD and burned my library to it. Then I went ahead and did the install. It clean my Ipod Touch clean, but my iTunes library was still intact so I thought all will have to do is resync it but that didn't work. I tried and tried. I disconnected my external HD. Oh yeah by the way this is a new computer that I just bought and last night was the first time I used iTunes on it so I had to populate my library using iGadget.
Anyway, I realized that I didn't have manually manage my iTunes library unchecked I unchecked it and it began to sync the back up copy I had of my library. Did either of you back up your library before installing 2.02? Do you have a place where most of your music is stored outside of iTunes? You cannot have Manually manage library checked it won't restore if you do. Be aware though 96% of my cover art was gone with this restore. How annoying. I don't know if this is the information you were looking for but I hope I have been able to shed some light on the issue.

Bios recovery for HP dv5-1235dx/Vista (64-bit) crashed during update

My HP Pavillion dv5-1235dx which ran windows vista (64-bit) crashed while updating bios (after my old bios was deleted). I have tried the start+b+power trick to recover but that option did not work. HP Support suggests to create a usb key to install bios, however I have repeatedly failed in recovering/installing bios because the instructions are very limited. They mention a "create a usb key" option that I have yet to find that would make the key. After using the HP UEFI BIOS Update SoftPAQ and extracting files from the bios .exe file, I found the following:
1 folder (sp45138) with contents below
3602F21.fd
3603F21.fd
ding (wave sound)
InsydeFlash (application)
InsydeFlash (text document)
iscflash.dll
iscflash.sys
iscflashx64.sys
platform (configuration settings)
So, my questions are as follows:
Where is the mystery "create a usb key" button?
What files should I have installed on my usb drive?
Does anything have to be renamed or formatted?
Thanks for any help given!

Hello Ceelion21. I understand you're trying to recover your computer from a failed BIOS flash.
I see this question get asked a lot so I have made sure to bookmark the instructions which I found on another website. Here is a link.
You should be able to download the BIOS file from HP Support. I believe you'll need to use an application such as 7-Zip to extract the BIOS file and locate the *.FD file.
If this doesn't work you'll likely need to have the notebook repaired. If you'd like to inquire about a repair through HP Support and are in the US/Canada you can give them a call at 1-800-474-6836. If you're in another part of the world you'll need to visit HP Support Worldwide to get your region's contact information.
Let me know the result of the BIOS recovery. I hope you have an excellent night!
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"
Click the "Accept as Solution" button if I resolve your issue.
