Iphone4 not responsing after software update

I've got a standard iphone4 and I was reminded that I have to update my iphone system. And I followed the guidance and went to the general screen. After it finished update and reinstallation, the phone automatically shut down. While I was thinking it just may need to restart but to find that it was not responding normally. I just saw the logo of apple coming out and disappear, and this recurrence happened every few minutes. I didn't know what to do.

There are several possibilities:
Your firewall or antivirus is blocking access to Apple's activation servers - try disabling them
The phone has been hacked, unlocked or jailbroken - If so, there is no solution
The computer you are using has a corrupt winsock (if Windows). Open a command prompt window with Administrator privileges and type:  netsh  winsock  reset, then reboot
The hosts database on your computer is corrupted. Open it with a text editor and delete any lines that contain gs.apple.com, then save it (you must do this as Administrator or with root privileges if you have a Mac)
Location of hosts database:
Mac: /etc/hosts
Windows: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

  • Iphone could not activate after software update

    iphone could not activate after software update (iSO5). it reads, on itunes, "there is no sim card on the iphone", even though there is one in the phone. i tried taking the sim out and re-inserting it, but the same problem still repeats. Anyone to help?

    Is there a sim in the iPhone?
    Has the iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
    than the original wireless provider?
    If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at

    my ipod touch gen 4 will not recovery after software update. have tried everything. device not recognized by itunes. any ideas?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Macbook battery not charging after software update

    I was doing some work on my MacBook (4,1) with the charger plugged in and the lid closed (I was using my TV as a montior. There was a software update for itunes and a few others and now it's saying the battery needs to be serviced!
    The battery currently has 62% charge, i've not disconnected the charger once in teh few hours I was working. Anyone got any ideas as to what could cause this?
    The change to needing the battery serviced was not straight after the update, I don't think so anyway. I've not really noticed it until I went to pick up my MacBook and it all started to go haywire. It because unresponsive, black screen etc.
    I've tried to reset the SMC and i've checked the charge cycyles too and it's about 250 so there's no problem there. It's just annoying as this is the 3rd battery i've had for this macbook, the other two being replaced under warranty. Now the warranty is up and it needs chaging for a 4th time!

    Hi imi_uk,
    I see you marked this question as "solved" is that the case?
    If not, are you able to startup your computer via "safe boot" by holding the SHIFT key on startup (until the Apple logo appears and the gear appears below it).
    The next step, would also be to boot off the system restore disc that came with your computer and attempt to repair the volume (the internal HD) via the the built-in disc utility.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please refer to this official download portal as you proceed. It is sorted first by carrier -- so if all you want are the OS levels your carrier supports, your search will be quick. However, some carriers are much slower than others to release updates. To truly seek out the most up-to-date OS package for your BB, you must dig through and find all carriers that support your specific model BB, and then compare the OS levels that they support.
    http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
    Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. After installing the OS package to your PC, please remeber to delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
    Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
    You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
    You may also want to try the "Bare Bones OS Reload Procedure" to attempt to narrow down the precise causal item:
    Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
    If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
    If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
    Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
    If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
    Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
    When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
    If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
    If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.

  • Safari and Mail will not open after software update

    After doing the monthly software update yesterday, my Mail and Safari programs will not open. I click on the icon in the dock or in the Applications folder and I get nothing. The icon in the dock jumps, but nothing opens. I've read several other discussions and tried dragging several files out of the library, such as plist files and history, etc., but they still won't open. The software update only updated iTunes and iPhoto and included the most recent security update. I have not tried to reload Safari. If I do that (and it works), what do I need to do for Mail? Will I lose all my emails? Can someone tell me what I can do to get both programs back working properly? Thanks!

    Another approach is to reapply the 10.3.9 combined update. "Repair permissions" via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    As far as your e-mail's are concerned, the database files are maintained in your User account>Library>Mail folder. It's very important you backup this folder periodically to external media regardless of circumstances to preclude losing your e-mails in the event of file corruption.
    Best maintenance strategy is a full backup of your HD on a bootable external (firewire) hard drive. Makes life a lot easier in the event you need to revert your HD to its state prior to an System Update gone bad.

  • MacBook Pro will not boot after software update

    MacBook Pro will not boot after doing an Apple Software Update (of course they will not help you).  MONEY, MONEY, MONEY is the name of the game.  They can cause your computer to crash and still charge you!

  • Macbook pro (snow leopard) will not boot after software update

    I helped my mom buy a Macbook Pro for herself for Christmas. Today, I connected it to her old eMac and used the migration assistant to transfer files over. It was unable to estimate migration time on the only user (after 45 minutes) so I didn't migrate the user. Then I tried to pair her macbook to her new bluetooth keyboard, but no magic happened, so I tried to use the bluetooth setup assistant, which crashed. So I ran a software update, hoping that this would fix whatever the bluetooth problem is. Despite having updated on the 23rd, there were 4 updates. None seemed applicable but I installed them anyway. Now the computer won't boot at all.
    Software update said that I had to restart for the updates to take effect, so I restarted. The harddrive went whirrrrrr and the grey screen with the apple logo and the spinning circle displayed. Then the harddrive stopped going whirrrr and 10 minutes later, I started looking on the support site for what to do. I found this:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10564149&#10564149
    Per the instructions in the last post, I fscked the drive (although -f, in accordance with the fsck help). This found no problems. The next suggestion was to boot from the OSX install disk. Only one problem-- there was a disk in the disk drive when the problem occurred and the disk eject button apparently only works while in the gui. I can't install from disk if I can't get the existing disk out of the drive.
    So, any other ideas on what I can do to get this machine to boot?

    Hi Jen:
    Since it's new, you're entitled to 90 days of phone support (3 years if you buy AppleCare). It sounds to me like you may have some hardware issue(s) going on - you should not have the sorts of issues you're having with a new Mac. Apple will probably be much better and faster about getting you fixed than this board may be able to if that is the case.

  • Epson Stylus CX7300 will not print after software update

    After doing the latest update for my Epson Stylus CX7300 printer it will not print.  When i open the printer utility it comes up with a communication error.  I can still scan documents but i can't print or even print a test page, check ink levels etc.

    Hi Kerry Bonney,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you are having issues printing after running a software update I would recommend using the troubleshooting steps in the following article. It sounds like you have already completed some of these steps, but I would recommend reading over and working through the steps provided in this article.

  • 17" MacBook Pro will not startup after software update & shutdown

    Last night I powered off (shutdown) my MacBook Pro (usually I leave it sleeping). It kindly reminded me I had updates to install. I said OK install them. I didn't check to see what they were, but I believe it was just the camera raw update. I also told it to shutdown after the update.
    This morning the computer was off, so far so good.
    Press the power button ... nothing. no chime, no diskdrive, blank screen....
    Battery level is good, power adapter good with green light.
    I have command control power buttoned. reset smu. cannot reset pmu as far as I know as that happens later in the startup procedure? post chime?
    I pulled the power and battery and let it sit all day, still nothing.
    Any ideas on the sudden failure. The software update seems unrelated, but somewhere in the back of my head I remember hearing about some problem with a camera raw update?
    It's a 1st generation 17" MBP. TIA

    Just to clarify the symptoms:
    Good power adapter, green light on mag-safe when plugged into machine. Good battery(s) have two, both charged.
    Press power button and nothing happens, no drive spin up, no noises, no chimes, no screen backlight (even with black screen) etc.
    tried control-command power button for 3+ seconds, naughta.
    tried pulling power and battery, then hold power for 5 sec. recconect bat and power, naughta.
    tried removing all power for 8+ hrs, naughta.
    It doesn't seem to be getting power to any components on -power button down -
    So, I am guessing here but seems like:
    a. Power button/connectors.
    B. Firmware issue as last time it was run a software update (unknown) was installed.
    C. Logic board?
    D. As there is a green light on the power adapter I expect it is not the Left I/O subassembly board?
    Are there any other power supply boards that may be involved, or are all of those components on the main board in this machine? Is the power button part of the keyboard assembly?
    TIA.

  • Built in iSight not working after software update!

    Last night, I updated front row, quicktime, and iTunes via the software updater. Now nothing is recognizing my built in camera (iChat, photo booth). It says there is no camera connected to the computer. Also, software update isn't working. Does anybody have any idea what could have happened and how to get it running again? Thanks!

    NikoM2008 wrote:
    Installing the combo update - as you suggested - did not solve the problem. Any other ideas? The iSight is still not being recognized by the system profiler.
    Here is what I suggest you do next.
    System Profiler is a pre-Lion term.  If you are really using OS X 10.7.3, you need to use the "System Information" utility. 
    After you launch "System Information", click the "USB" item in the "Hardware" item of the System Information window's sidebar.  (If the reveal triangles are pointing to the right like ►, click on it so it points down like this ▼ to find the USB item.)  Then look under each USB bus item in the "USB Device Tree" for your camera.
    If there is no iSight or FaceTime camera listed anywhere in your "USB Device Tree", verify that you used the correct PMU/SMC "reset" procedure for your particular Mac model.  If your camera is still not recognized in System Information", yours is most likely a hardware problem that will require a professional fix.
    Then contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
    Unless you have a current backup, make one before giving your Mac to the repair technician.

  • Operation not permitted after software update

    My fiancés computer cannot open any websites comes up with 'the operation couldn't be completed. Operation not permitted' (INSPOSIXErrorDomain:1) Please choose Safari>Report Bugs to apple'. When checking for software updates it comes up with the error message 'Failed to check for updates. The operation could not be completed. Operation not permitted' It's a macbook pro bought in 2011 with OS X Lion 10.7.3 and Safari 5.1.3. I have checked the settings, reset safari, emtied the cache. I don't know what to do... any help?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software -- potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions -- they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
    Below are several lines of text in monospaced type, which are UNIX shell commands. They’re harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of running these commands, search this site for other discussions in which they’ve been used without any report of ill effects.
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    To begin, launch the Terminal application; e.g., by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search. A text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Step 1
    Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
    Step 2
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
    Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item'
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
    You can then quit Terminal.
