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
William

    "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 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.

  • Update to iPhone OS 4.2 causes iTunes to crash mid-download?

    Hi there,
    I recently tried to update my iPhone 4 to the latest software version 4.2
    It said that my iTunes was out of date and that i needed to upgrade to version 10.1. Which i did.
    Once that was done i plugged my iphone in and tried to upgrade the software only to have itunes crash mid-download.
    I've tried several times over the last few weeks and every time, iTunes encounters a problem and has to close...always during the downlaoding of the update.
    Can anyone help?
    thank you,
    james

    First off, try it with another user account, (no you won't lose all your music - you don't want to sync, just update). If that didn't work then I would see if I knew someone with an iP4 and ask them if I can copy the ipsw file to the correct location. Use that and start iTunes again.
    ps the second method is one that I assume works as I've done it with an iPod before.

  • Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black.  Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in, any ideas?

    Decided to update iphone 4 to ios 5.1 and mid update it froze and the screen is black.  Phone does not respond to any combinations of home and power buttons, when plugged into computer it does not see it is plugged in so I cannot restore or anything.  Looks like the screen is on it's just unresponsive and black obviously.  Has anyone had this problem?  I was updating via wifi right in front of my router and my computer.

    Spoke to a "senior advisor" in the Apple TV department.  Her suggestions:  change channel in router to minimize/eliminate wifi interference from other users; move router away from any metal - i.e., DVD player, phone modem, etc.; keep router away from wireless 2.4 gH phones, which are "notorious" for crashing wifi routers.  So she confirms that the problem is one of connection to router suddenly dropping out.
    My own feeling is that none of these fixes will do the trick, because it seems pretty clear that there is a hardware component here - the timing of the drops seems like an overheating issue.  It takes 35-40 minutes for the box to warm up enough for the first drop; then each consecutive drop happens quicker than the one before, as it heats up more.  Each time it drops, its tiny brain gets a little more scrambled; last night it finally wouldn't start up again at all.
    My suggestion is that everyone who is experiencing this problem, please call Apple tech support and ask to speak to a senior advisor in the Apple TV department.  Make them aware of this problem!

  • Iphone 5 crashed after updating to iOS 8.0.2

    My iphone 5 crashed when updating to the new iOS 8. Thank you! Everything is deleted now! I can't even back it up from my computer, it crashes again and again. Put your things together apple.

    We're not Apple here, Jovana.  It's users just like you.  You make yourself look pretty foolish when you address Apple here directly.  Pretty foolish indeed.

  • ICloud appears to have backed up apps, but nothing else after computer crash, IOS update and iphone system restore? How do i get the rest of my media back??

    My windows computer crashed last night and shortly thereafter, my iphone updated to IOS 7 and i was forced to do a system restore before i could preform a backup... I tried accessing my old contacts, texts, notes, pics and apps thru icloud (i have it set up to automatically preform backup). It claims that the last back up was after my computer crashed/the update/system restore... I thought all was lost, then went to redownload some old apps. They all appeared with the icloud symbol next to them (instead of "free" or a price), so i'm assuming that i DO have things backed up on icloud? Why are my apps the only media showing back up? Is there a way i can salvage my contacts, texts, pictures and other deleted media still?

    Apps are not included in a backup - only a reference to which apps are on the device.  They are restored from copies in the app store.
    Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com.  Check the contacts and other pages where your data had been stored.  If they are not there, then the only place they could be is in a backup, either to itunes or (/and) icloud.  You'd have to restore the backup.  If the data is there, then your device is not connected to icloud.  Go to Settings>icloud to be sure it's logged into the right account.
    As for pictures...
    Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS.   Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud.  There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
    See:
    Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage,  tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream.  If using Photo stream, but sure to move the received photos to a permanent album.  If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
    If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered.  I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".
