IPhone crashed while upgrading, won't restore

As above - crashed after iTunes asked me to upgrade. During the process it died. Has been left with an iTunes plug-in icon on screen. Tried taking out sim card, plugging in to different UBS ports, etc. Restore process doesn't work, it crashes again halfway through.
Is it dead? Am in Singapore, guessing I need to find a Mac store... Just wondering what the chances of repair are.

You can try iPhone Data Recovery. You are provided three ways to restore contacts on iPhone, which are recovering them directly on iPhone, from an iPhone backup,and from iCloud backup files.What you have to do is very simple.
Step 1.Install iPhone Data Recovery and connect your iPhone to your computer.
Step 2. Choose a suitable mode to continue
You can choose "Recover from iOS Device", "Recover Deleted contacts from iTunes" or "Restore Contacts from iCloud". You can choose a favorable mode to continue the progress.
Step 3. Click "Scan" your iPhone
Step 4. Preview the contacts and recover deleted them from iPhone
I believe you can retrieve your lost contacts.

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!!

Zen touch, crash while upgrade firmw

Ok i really got a problem now....my zen touch crashed while i was upgrading to p4s 2..0
now my pc doesnt recognize it anymore and my player keeps giving me the recovery tool.
I am frustrated of what to do.. with regards Dobby

ok, looooooooooong time ago, before I owned my Vision:M, I had a zen touch,ergo, this same problem. WHat I did was that I went to a friends house, and tryed intaling the new firmware there. It worked, so try instaling the firmware through another PC. The problem is that your player has NO firmware, and your PC "kinda" recognizes it. after you intall the firmware on your player, go back to your main PC and plug your MP3 player, then you should get the same reaction as before, no change yet. Then go to control panel, system, system properties, hardware, then device manager. Find your player there... I should remind you that your player must be on and pluged in at all times during this process... after you find your player (should be under Uni'versal Serial Bus Controlers), right click on it and click on Uninstall. After approving this, unplug your player, and, whitout turning it off, plug it back in.
And that's it, as far as I know that should work for you, it did for me.
another thing that worked for someone else in here, was that they edited the registry... THIS IS VERY RISKY, but it was waaaaaaaaaaaaay easier. He typed in "regedit" through his Run window, found his HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG folder, then system, then CUrrentControlSet and then USB. He right-clicked the USB folder and selected "Permissions..." then he selected the "Add" button and created a user called "Everyone" and he gave IT full control and read checks and that was it, hope one of these two help you, I remember how frustraded I felt, sucks that the "Creative Team" makes such software
Edit: I forgot, remeber that this is risky, and I take no resposibility whatsoever if something goes ape-poop
good luck, thoughMessage Edited by bleumcnamara on -8-20060:54 PM

Iphone crashes while surfing.

Why does my iPhone crash when using safari or maps? I can hardly use either function at all. If I spend more than 30 secs looking at a map or using the web browser the screen unexpectedly crashes and send me back to the home screen. Do I have a defective iPhone, or are these features (safari and maps) merely novelty, and not actually useful? I don't have any programs loaded, my music only comes from cd, and the iPhone is about a month old.

If you've tried all the troubleshooting from the manual - http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf -
then you can make an appointment at the Genius Bar or call 800 my iphone.
The iphone has a one year warranty. If it is defective, the Apple will replace it.

I have an Iphone 3G and it won't restore, I've tried everything and it's locked in recovery mode... What should I do?

Recently, my Iphone 3G failed... horribly... I tried plugging it in and a pop-up said it was on recovery mode and had to be restored. So I did that and I got an error message for a few days until I somehow managed to make it work. Then it happened again less than a week later, but I only got 2 error messages until it worked.
Now today it has failed again, and no matter what I do it doesn't even come close to getting fixed, saying a different error number everytime, going from 21 (while being frozen with a white screen) to 160x (while being stuck preparing for the restoration).
What should I do to get it fixed? I've never jailbroken it or done anything of the sort :/
Thanks in advance

Have you tried a "hard reset"? If so, I would take the phone to an Apple store. If not,
1. Make sure the phone is OFF
2. Hold the HOME button and then press the power button and HOLD IT.
3. Hold both buttons until the phone comes ON, goes OFF and come ON again (about 45 seconds)
4. Re-sync with iTunes.
Hope this helps.

IPhoto 6 crashing while upgrading library

iPhoto 6 crashes continually while attempting to upgrade my library of 16,000 photos. Have attempted repairing disk permissions and changing permissions on the library folder. No luck... My library does reside on an external firewire drive. Any ideas, aside from reloading iPhoto5?

Ok, .... had the same permissions problem. In reading the error message, it listed a specific file name (photo). I found that file, > get info> file was locked. Unchecked (unlocked) and retry opening iPhoto. Get same message EXCEPT the file name was located in Orig. folder (duh). Unlocked same file in Orig. folder, expected after retry to get several file names....one at a time?.... but install completed. I have no idea how that file got locked and why no others were.... but I was done. BTW.. I had only 3900 photos....
Hope this helps.

Iphone Crashed after upgrade to OS4

Hi, i need some help
I try to upgrade my 3g phone, after an hour or so it crashed and reset.
Now all i can see is a symbol of a usb cable and a cd with a musical note (itunes) in the monitor of the iphone.
I try to connect it and it doesnt work also.... the itunes dont recognise it
The itunes is the latest version
Help Please

I have a similar, but slightly different issue. Also on an iPhone 3G. Some of my stuff synced, but not all of it. I've got my apps, my contacts, calendar, eBooks, and my pictures, but not my TV shows, movies, music, etc. And when I try to add them back into iTunes (File: Add file to Library), then select them to sync by selecting my iPhone under Devices in iTunes and clicking the Sync Movies box, then selecting the movies I want to sync, and clicking Apply... it says, "The iPhone "My iPhone" is synced with another iTunes Libary. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes Library?"
I don't! And my iPhone is not synced with another iTunes Libary. What can I do?

Tried to update iphone - crash - now it won't sync - disc write error

I think the title says it all. Sync error and all info lost. Now disc write error when trying to recover/restore.

Might be a damaged backup file. To find out, locate your backup folder and copy the whole folder to a safe place.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
After that delete the latest backup in iTunes/Preferences/Devices and try again to restore. You may have to connect in recovery mode to restore iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore

Crashes while upgrading to OSX Mavericks

I'm trying to update my mid 2010 MBP from Mountain Lion to Mavericks, but every time I try updating it gets a little ways through the install before crashing. I get an Installer Log with all the errors. I've repaired permissions and verified the disk multiple times but every time it refuses to install the new OS. I've even redownloaded the installer from the App Store and still nothing. The first time it crashed it said I didn't have permission to save the log to my harddrive but this last time it let me. I could copy-paste it here (or sections of it) if it would help firgure out the problem. I want to avoid reimaging my computer if possible. Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you!

Before you upgrade, check out via the Roaring Apps program which apps can be used with Snow Leopard ... and not with Mavericks.
Application compatibility table - RoaringApps
Check with the developer for anything not mentioned.

IPhone crashed while taking a picture then rebuilt library????

I was in the middle of taking a picture, and my iPhone 3gs iOS 4 crashed. I turned it back on, and went to find the picture i took. When i clicked on photo albums, or whatever its called.. it said loading.. rebuilding library. (something like that) and when it finished, over 150 of my pictuers were gone. ALL of my pictures from this summer, im talking trips.. going to the lake.. my friends going away party.. and family coming to visit. Is there any way i can get these pictures back? Im not sure that rebooting my phone would work, because the last time i have plugged my phone into the computer was over 2 months ago.. so these pictures were taken after that.
I will do anything. I just want these pictures back. Help?

Probably not. That's why the manual says to connect the phone to your computer and back up frequently. I do it daily.

Thank you so much! I pulled the RAM and it upgraded fine. Do you know why the RAM that i've had in my computer for over a year would not present any problems until now?

IPhone 4s lost contacts & won't restore

I Recently lost all my contacts on my 4s & have tried 5 times to restore it but it continues to lock up.
Last night I was able to retrieve some thru a partial restore ( locked up again so I rebooted the iPhone)
to to find most contacts. Then not 5 mins later they where gone again just by hitting any key. I've tried
sync again with no luck. Also tried icloud backup but no luck & it only has some of my contacts which
doesnt make much sense. I also removed the SIM card & put it back in.
I tried turning off/on contacts button that Didn't work either. Can anyone help or is this just a complete
loss! Thx 4 reading

You can try iPhone Data Recovery. You are provided three ways to restore contacts on iPhone, which are recovering them directly on iPhone, from an iPhone backup,and from iCloud backup files.What you have to do is very simple.
Step 1.Install iPhone Data Recovery and connect your iPhone to your computer.

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.
