Iphone won't work after trying to update

I started to update, got an error message and when I clicked ok to stop the update, I noticed an arrow with a usb icon pointing to an itunes icon on the phone. Can't get rid of it. Tried several times to restart the phone-nothing. Help... Tried restarting itunes etc etc. no help.

Thanks for the info. Any other things to try before using the restore? I hadn't done a sync since I just got home after being with my grandbabies and taking tons of videos and pictures. I'd hate to lose those if there's a way around it.

    my iphone 4 stop working after trying toupdate, how can i reboot without itunes?

    If you mean it's in recovery mode, no. There is no way around it. It must be restored using a computer running iTunes.

    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    Looks like a hardware failure. Appointment at the Genius bar for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • 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.

  • HT6154 rear camera on iphone 5 not working after ios 8 update why?

    My iPhone 5 rear camera is no longer working after ios 8 update its just black I can see the flash choice the hdr and the timer but other than that it is a black screen

    Hi there fjci2003,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch 
    You see a closed lens or black screen
    If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

  • Ipod won't work after trying to install Paid 2.0 update

    I bought the 2.0 update for my 16 gig ipod touch. After trying to install the update through itunes half way through the update it gave me the message "The ipod could not be restored. An Unknown error occured (6)." I tried to do a restore on the ipod it it does the same thing. Can anyone help? Now after paying for an update I have an ipod that doesn't work at all.
    I tried doing a restore using the old software on a different itunes library and get the same error message.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks Larry

    ok i have figured out how to fix this problem!! it is simple. make a new account on your computer. Now use the itunes on that account and just plug ur touch in and restore it. It will restore it to the software 1.1.4 . now just go back to your main account on ur computer and plug ur touch in once again and it will restore it to its original settings and sync all your songs and videos and the rest.
    I followed the above instructions. Let Itunes 7.7 set itself up on the new account and downloaded the update. The first attempt didnt work but the second attempt after I rebooted the PC I logged in on the new user and booted up Itunes.
    When that had finished faffing about I connected the USB cable into another USB port (above the one its just come out of if you get my drift) and it started extracting the software for Restore then it started prparing the ipod for for restore and then started uploading the software to the ipod in which it had not done it before. As I type it has just finished synching the ipod with my current Itunes library on my default windows account.
    I am running the update but will have to enter my contacts details again but hey thats no big deal.
    So I hope you all get yours to work.
    Cheers

  • ITunes won't open after trying to update

    I updated my iPhone 5C to IOS8  yesterday, and when I plugged it into my computer it said I needed to update my iTunes. When I tried to update it, it wouldn't work and told me to do it manually. It then came up with the screen that searches for updates, and I pressed cancel so that I could press the tools button. When I pressed tools, I could not click on the top option that I was supposed to select. I closed the tab and now iTunes won't open.

    firefox and itunes work fine tho

    I also deleted Safari and tried to reinstall it from the Apple website but It would not let me install it. I got to "select location" section and it would not allow me to select any of my drives because it said it required10.5.2 or newer. I have 10.5.3. Any Help?

  • ITunes error - will not work after trying to update to 7.2, then to 7.3

    I have tried to update to both 7.2 and to 7.3, but both updates have failed. Now I am stuck on 7.1 with an error, where my iTunes will not operate and I cannot uninstall because it comes up with the same error that I get when I try to install or uninstall.
    Below are links to images of the errors:
    Here is the error I have currently:

    Here is the error I get when I try to reinstall, update or uninstall:

    I would appreciate your assistance!

    It sounds as though you need this article on trouble installing iTunes:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    You need the section at the end after "Important: A majority of customers..."
    I think you need to do a full removal of iTunes and quciktime with clean up. But the important bit is to clean up the installer files with the MS Installer Clean Up Utility.
    If cleanup doesn't seem to work, it is worth checking you have the right version of the Windows installer. If you find it in add remove programs, it should say "Windows Installer 3.1 (KB893803)"

  • How come my mini iPad is not working after trying to update apps?

    My mini iPad is repeatedly showing me a black screen with a, "white apple," in the middle & then a couple of minutes later it turns off for a few minutes. Then the black screen with the, "white apple," in the middle comes back on again and then it goes black again. Sometimes the black screen would lighten and the whole pattern of these "screens" would start over again. It's been doing this for hours since I fell asleep.
    This happened when I was trying to update 4-5 apps at the same time. It had trouble updating the, "Pinterest app." It failed once and I retried it and that's when my mini ipad started to not work. I can't use it at all. I never had trouble updating several apps at one time before. I was at home using my wifi and my wifi strength was at its maximum for the iPad.
    The battery was at 40 something%, so I charged it over night. It has the latest iOS update software. I had downloaded that yesterday.
    I plugged it into iTunes on my computer and the same thing is happening. It's picking up my icloud stuff like my music and videos and my computer is trying to import photos from my mini ipad automatically, but my iPad isn't fully recognizable on iTunes. I get 2 error messages. One says, "iTunes was unable to load data class information from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later." I also get an error when trying to import photos (just to try it out). The other error message says, "The iPad cannot be sync because this iPad cannot be found."
    And so, I unplugged it and plugged it back in and I get the same response. My iTunes is the latest version.
    I don't have warranty on this iPad and I spent like $500 on this one. I'm kinda worried...?
    Any kind of response would be appreciated....

    First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Open Recent function won't work after Mountain Lion updates

    I recently did a fresh install of mountain lion (after using snow leopard for years). iWork, which came with my MacBook Pro worked great, until the update. Obviously I had to do a fresh install of iWork 09 from the CD I had. I then updated iWork through the software update. Now running pages 4.3 etc.
    However, for pages and numbers I can't get the Open Recent function to work. It's just empty, no matter how many docs I've opened or worked on.
    Any tips??
    Thanks in advance for any assitance.

    Menu > Pages > Preferences > General Preferences > For New Documents: check Show Template Chooser
    When you now open Pages it will show you an open dialog with the option to look for those files either in your iCloud folder or on the regualr place on your Mac.
    Personally I prefer the File Menu > Recent.

  • [SOLVED] Sage-mathematics (Notebook) won't work after a recent update

    Hello!
    I've got troubles runnig sagemath's notebook server. After a recent update it goes like this:
    $ sage -n
    ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
    │ Sage Version 6.1.1, Release Date: 2014-02-04 │
    │ Type "notebook()" for the browser-based notebook interface. │
    │ Type "help()" for help. │
    └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
    Please wait while the Sage Notebook server starts...

    sh: symbol lookup error: sh: undefined symbol: rl_signal_event_hook
    And the notebook server won't start. Searching for the solution yields Notebook won't start with bash 4.3 (unanswered question from 2 Mar) and Minimise security risks with an application that needs root? (same error message, but the main idea is about some third-party untasted software).
    Since sage-mathematics is in official repository and there is wiki page I figured out I would ask here, because still no solution found except for downgrading bash or going with virtualization.
