IPhone stops when updating to 4.2

I decided to update my phone to 4.2 today and everything works fine until it's almost done and then it just stops. iTunes says "restoring iPhone software" and the status bar gets about 99% done and then it stops and on my iPhone all there is is the apple logo and the status bar on the phone gets about 60% done and it stops and then just sits there. I let it sit for a few hours and no luck. I have restarted iTunes, restarted my computer, hard restarted my phone all to no avail. I tried looking for my host files and delete anything that might be interfering and nothing. I have tried to reinstall 4.1 and even 4.0.1 and each time its the same thing. I've tried restoring from restore mode and DFU mode. Nothing. It always gets to the same spot and nothing. I am using an apple usb cable and I am currently trying to do the restore on another apple imac. Any suggestions? I'm stuck without my phone and it's my only one!!! I know people have asked this in other posts, they have all been slightly different and I have tried all their methods and nothing has worked so I'm making my own post. I don't mean to be redundant. Thanks for any help. Oh it's and iPhone 4.

I have the exact same problem on my iPhone 4 and I don't know what to do. I was wondering if you had your issue resolved yet, and if so, what did you do to get it working?

Iphone 4 when updated to 6.1.2 wont play video on kenwood in car

When I updated my iphone 4 to the 6.1.2 software it wont play the video in my car anymore. The sound still works but no video, I dont know what happened. I have gone through the kenwood forums and they are saying that it had something to do with the update that apple put out. Any suggestions?

That's why I disdain the cloud and prefer terra firma with a good recent local backup on a computer I control. But anyway...
As far as the phone is concerned, its data is kaput. Will have to be patient and reload/salvage what you can from the ancient backup. Like I said, phone is empty, nothing to save from there, so if it does not restore at first try, don't be afraid to stop it, wipe it clean and start again.

Itunes v 11.0.2.26 windows - iphone 5 - when updating software asked to transfer purchases - when i go to file - trnasfer purchases is longer an option in this? What am i doing wrong?

When attempting to update to iOS 6.1.3 i get the messge: "there are purchased items on the iPhone "" that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should tnasfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPhone. Are you shure you want to continue?"
I cancel. Go to File to look for the Transfer Purchases item like I always used to, and it is not there - not even greyed out. What am i missing?

With the phone connected, go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.

IPhone Locking when updating

i was given a first generation iPhone by my aunt in America. i live in New Zealand and my aunt said that she was told that i could use my phone in New Zealand with an NZ sim card. it worked for the first few hours but when i tried to update it it locked its self, and i could only make emergency calls... i managed to take it into a cell phone store and they fixed the problem, but did not tell me that i could not update it, so the next week i tried again... with the same result. again, i got it fixed...
i just want to see if there was any way to get my phone updated without it locking... so if any one has any insight, please tell me... im still using version 1.1.4!!! it is so annoying!!!

i'm really confused..
i buy my iphone in Indonesia. and the seller says that it was the factory unlock so it's safe for me to use the iphone with different kind of sim card. and it's works.. i can use it with my old sim card. but apparently the problems come when i want to update my iphone. and the first time i updated my iphone suddenly my iphone unlocked and i cannot do anything except emergency calls. after i bring it to the seller, he said that the problem is with the update thing because he said that the update isn't perfect enough to be downloaded. so after i found out that there is newest update so i try again but the same problem come to me. now my iphone locked again. i really confused while the seller said that it's factory unlocked and it's safe to change with any sim card but from other post i read that it's because the iphone hasn't unlocked yet.
help me to find out..
it's killing me that i'm still using the old version.and even i cannot put my facebook on my iphone. it' sad really sad.

Try these steps as needed:
1. Reset phone (no data loss): press both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
3. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
4. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup

IPhone Locks when updating software

I was prompted to download a newer version of the software for my iPhone. I got an error message in itunes when downloading the software and my iPhone is currently locked up as a result of this error. The iPhone will not stay on and the only way I can get it to turn on is to reset it. When I reset it, it stays on for a couple of seconds and only displays the graphic for the connection and the iTunes image...nothing works.

Sounds like a hardware issue. I would contact Apple and get it serviced.

I recently replaced my iPhone 5s and had restored it but most of my apps are no longer there in the restore , also it comes up with the other iPhones icloud when updating the apps ?? please help

i would like to know how to get all apps back , also to get the other icloud account off my iphone ?

If you restored the backup from iCloud, it will automatically re-download all your apps for you on its own.
If you restored the backup from iTunes, you have to manually download all the apps back from the AppStore.
Never heard of such issue with iCloud before but you can sign out of all iCloud account starting with,
Settings>iCloud
Settings>Messages>iMessage
Settings>Facetime
Settings>iTunes & AppStore
Settings>Game Center
Turn off home sharing on your phone if its on. Then sign in back to each one of them with your apple account.

Do we need to stop DPM backups when updating SP2013 with CU

Hi - planning to install the Dec14 CU and want to know if it is required to Stop DPM protection when running PSConfig?
Our DPM guy says DPM protection cannot be paused - only stopped and this would remove the Protection group completely and we would need to reconfigure afterwards. He thinks that because DPM bacup is different to SQL in that it only reads the T Logs to synchronize
every 15min after the daly full backup at 8PM - so as long as we avoid running PSConfig when the full backup runs it should be no problem
I have always had SQL backups stopped when updating SharePoint - is the DPM guy right that I don't need to worry about DPM syncs?
Thanks
J

Hi,
As my understanding, your DPM guy is correct. DPM utilize VSS to protect your database, so there should be no impact when you upgrade SharePoint with DPM up. If you are not assured to do this, I suggest you set up an all in one test environment to test it.
Meanwhile, I would like to share the DPM Application Data Synchronization Process
for your reference.

How can I get my iPhone to stop promting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I've checked settings for iTunes

How can I get my iPhone 6 to stop prompting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I have verified in settings that my acct is listed in itunes & App Store, as well as icloud. i can download new apps fine. Have shut down phone and re-powered, have tried plugging into my iMac while signed into my iTunes acct. Can't figure out what to do next?

Is the comp a synced device to your apple ID and approved as an active device for this synchronization?
Just cloud the sync once, activate the comp to your apple I'd in iTunes, ensure all software is up to date, turn on home sharing between the devices and you can reinstall the apps from the apple id purchase history via download.
You basically cleaned out the canonical data apple uses to validate all that, which was backup data. Like iOS devices have the purchased option on the App Store now, syncing the devices via the home sharing and properly activating them will give your comp the purchased cloud and free up 10gs of space on the precious solid states smaller drives.
Hope that helps...
If you need to know the menu to find this info, let me know. But the info is easily accessible in the help menu.

I tried updating iphone 6 to 8.1.3 But the phone went dead. I have tried using restore options - both update and erase, but the process stops when it tries to update Iphone firmware.

Put your phone in DFU mode,
Hold the Power Button (3 secs)
Continue holding the power button and also hold the home button (15 secs)
Release the power button while continuing to hold the home button (10 secs)
Your device should prompt with the "Connect to iTunes Screen"
Restore.
