IPhone won't backup after iOS5 update

I recently updated my iPhone 4 using a friend's computer to get the new iOS5 update. Long story short, my computer has ruined 2 iphones attempting updates, therefore I used another computer. I had to delete all of my data in order to receive the update from a different computer so when I brought the phone home to put all of my data back on the phone, it froze on step 2 out of 8 (backup). I've even left it plugged in all night and that doesn't work. I have talked to the apple support line three times already. They've suggested that I disable antivirus (didn't work) and also completely uninstall iTunes and reinstalling (also did not work). Someone please help me! An iPhone that won't hold my own music, apps, videos and photos anymore is 100% WORTHLESS!

If you are using a Mac, go to Settings>Software Update ... check for any updates, and update all.
Chances are you are not using iTunes 10.5, which is required to sync iOS 5.
If youare using a PC, suggest you uninstall your iTunes, download fresh iTunes 10.5 from Apple.com/itunes and install it.

ITunes error -1 when restoring iPhone from backup after iOS5 update

If no one can help me fix this hopefully somebody might at least be able to tell me what -1 error means!
I have an iPhone 3GS and before i updated to iOS5 i upgraded my itunes on my Mac and synced and backed up everything. I did the iOS5 update which went fine and i have it installed on my phone. When i went to restore from backup it looked like it was working for 2mins then it comes up with the error message saying unable to restore from backup (-1). I have done this a good few times now all with the same result. Any suggestions? Everything has been completely wiped from my phone and im desperate to get it all back.

yeah mine is back to this

Help Iphone won't sync after iTunes update

So I just updated iTunes to the newest version in preparation for the 3.0 software, My OS is 10.5.7 and Itunes is the latest version and now my iphone won't sync, it will back up but when it says phone syncing it just stops and the spinning ball comes up and then will not go away, tried restarting, anyone have any ideas?

Restart computer. Power off/on iPhone. Re-connect. If that doesn't work....I had a similar problem. I just downloaded iTunes 8.2 direct from apple website and re-installed....solved my problems.

Outgoing email won't send after iOS5 update.

After I updated for iOS5, neither my Mac, iPhone4 or iPad2 will send email. The outgoing server setting is correct but I get a "connection to outgoing server failed" notice each time I try to send an email. Seems like an Apple issue. Any suggestions.

I've had emails get "stuck" in my outbox on the phone - try restarting the phone and see if that jogs it into sending. If that doesn't work, delete the account from your phone and recreate it.

Iphone won't restore after last update error -34

AFter this last update, my 3GS won't do a full restore. It keeps saying that iTunes was interrupted and gives error (-34). Any help please??

I just got the iPhone 4S today, and previously had the 3GS. I started my iPhone as a "new" one in the store, but then I lost all my app data. So, I thought I'd restore it and backup from a version of my old iPhone. Before it would restore, it had to download 5.0.1. As it restored (and this has happened twice), the progress bar in iTunes made it about 99% of the way across, and on the phone it stopped at about 2/3rds. I checked the trash and the 5.0.1 file wasn't there (just 5.0 from my old phone). What can I do?

IPhone 3GS unresponsive/bricked after iOS5 Update

First let me start off by saying that I feel Apple is a SUPERIOR company and 99% of the time have excellent things to say about their products. I will, and in this case have once again, continue to buy their products over any other company. That being said....
I updated my iPhone 3GS on 12 Oct 11. When the process was almost completed I received the message that iTunes was unable to continue with activation at this time. I have called customer support numerous times (Case ID: 252118395) and have gone to the Apple store where I live. No one can seem to figure out what happened with the update or my iPhone. I tried reinstalling the OS over 50 times now and receive the same message. I went three days without a phone before I was forced to buy the 4S model. I am a career soldier waiting to deploy and going that long without a phone was unacceptable. All my 3GS has on the screen now is the gray screen saying "iPhone" and different languages scroll across. The last 4 times I have contacted Apple reference this I sit on hold for about 20 minutes and then it just goes to a ringing sound with no answer. This is absolutely unacceptable and I know Apple is a better company than to just keep giving me answers of, "I don't know what's wrong; keep trying; Give it more time." The Apple store manager at the Colorado Springs store told me it was because iOS5 wasn't compatible with the 3GS model; though your website clearly says it is as I told her. I was also told by an "Apple Genius" at the same store my "best friend" in my case was to "Google" it to see about unlocking the phone and reinstalling iOS 4 but she, "Couldn't really tell me that." Of a side note the complete lack of professionalism and "hey bro" attitude at this store was in stark contrast to the professional atmosphere and service excellence that the late Mr. Jobs fostered. All I want is for my old iPhone 3GS to be restored so at least we can use it for an iPod Touch. I have exhausted all attempts to contact Apple. A prompt response would be greatly appreciated as I know you are a much better run company than this and you give no real e-mail link to help out with such matters. Has anyone else had this issue???

HI All,
My iPhone 3Gs is not detecting any carriers. I have just upgraded to ios 5.
I have tried my SIM in another phone and it is working OK. The phone was unlokced by O2 and I have tried an O2 SIM in it which also does not work.
When I manually search for carriers then none are found.
I'm beginning to think this is a hardware fault.
Any ideas?

When you look at the storage usage of the iPod in iTunes (the colored bargraph) , how much is in the "other" category? If very large yu will have to restore you riPod to get it down to is normal less than about 1/2 GB.

My iphone won't work after fatal error occurred installing iOS5.1 have followed allsteps to reconfigure software onto windows still no phone just a usb and itunes picture on screen

my iphone won't work after fatal error occurred installing iOS5.1 have followed allsteps to reconfigure software onto windows still no phone just a usb and itunes picture on screen

Connect the phone directly to the computer, not a hub.
Disconnect all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Disable your firewall
Disable your antivirus
In iTunes if it recognizes the phone click "Restore"
If it doesn't recognize the phone:
Disconnect the phone from the phone end, leave the USB cable plugged into the computer
Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen turns black, excactly 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP but continue holding the HOME (If an Apple logo appears you have held SLEEP too long; do it over)
While holding HOME connect the cable to the phone
As soon as iTunes recognizes the phone release the HOME button and it should restore.
If neither procedure works note the exact error message and post it.

After iOS5 update ring tone volume go to zero when connect to VW Passat 2011 car kit

My iPhone 4 worked greatly before iOS5 update, after that every time it'll connect to RNS315 bluetooth interface ringtone volume go to zero and i've to re-set manually to the right volume. Re-paired but no changes.
Any ideas?

Well, visited my VW dealer and they said no updates for my car based upon the VIN/Reg and whats more there is no way this is a VW issue. Something in the iO5 5 bluetooth area has changes for the worse to force this to happen. THis is an Apple issue not a VW one and they should resolve, hoped that the 5.01 would fix, but no. Come on Apple sort this problem out.

\Based on other forum users' posts, it seems like all you need to do is Restore the phone from your latest backup, and that should "refresh" your phone's appraisal of its data storage.

After ios5 update, I am not getting any sound when I play music.

After ios5 update, I am not getting any sound when I play music (iphone speakers or headphones). I get sound from games, previewing songs in iTunes, etc. Any idea why? I've resynced and shut down my phone and that didnt help.
iPhone 4

Beer,
is that when you want to play music over the air (airplay) like BT headset or something?
because i am facing the below issue in my car.
the phone minimizes the volume of airplay and the ringing to 0 when connecting to a device (BT headset or car kit)
upon disconnecting, the ringing tone remains 0 and i miss all or most of my calls.

ITunes won't open after OS update to Yosmite

ITunes won't open after OS update, ITunes has been updated, it won't open or bounce. It will not allow me to move it to trash or reinstall it. I have already updated to OS X Yosmite two times as directed by apple, I have rebooted in safe made as well as Command/Option/P/R before start up. I have opened console/system log to see if there is anything going on but when I click on Itunes nothing happens, not even so much as half a line of script. I'm stumped. If I wanted someone to tell me to turn it off and on again I'd just watch IT Crowd. please help

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
If you head into your applications folder and locate iTunes. Right click iTunes and show package contents. In there there will be a contents folder --> MacOS --> double click on the iTunes terminal icon. This should force iTunes to open via a terminal window and at the very least it will tell you what it is getting stuck on.
