Itunes frozen after iOS 5 update

I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.  The update appears to have taken - the phone now works, after several hiccups in the update process.  I appear to have lost my photos, calendar entries, etc.  When I plug the phone into my mac, iTunes sees the iPhone but I just see the spinning ball and it does not allow me to do anything with it.  Is there anything I can to do bring my iPhone back to normalcy?  Do I need to go to the genius bar?  (Which is probably really crowded because of the iPhone 4S release).
Lesson: don't be the first to get new updates!
Thanks for your help!

  • IPhone 4 not connecting to any computer, Mac OS or Windows, or iTunes after ios 7 update

    Hello Apple community,
      I desparately need help connecting my iphone 4 to iTunes so I can restore my previous iPhone4 backup that is on my windows laptop computer.  It used to connect perfectly to my windows 7 laptop with iTunes, but after ios 7 (and subsequently 7.1) update, it no longer connects to windows, iTunes (yes latest version), nor shows in Windows device manager.  (yes, I tried repairing, updating, and re-installing apple usb driver + iTunes.  Win7 is totally up to date too)
    How did it all start?
    1. The phone completely went dead after trying the ios 7 update (with full battery charge). Previously, the iphone 4 worked PERFECT on ios 6.  So, I went to apple store, and they connected it to their laptop at the Genius Bar and performed a fresh ios 7 install.  So, I had a fresh working ios 7 phone WITHOUT all my previous data.
    2.   No problem?  I'll just go home and use the iTunes backup file on my win7 computer to restore all my files.  However, this iphone4 won't connect to my laptop or any other computer at all.
    Current Status:
    A) iPhone4 battery only charges if phone is completely off and plugged into the Wall-electrical-outlet charger.
    B) no usb data connection regardless of computer type (Mac or Windows PC) and different usb cables were tried.
    C) When plugged into my iHome alarm-clock and music player, the iPhone4 can be controlled by the iHome's menu buttons (play, rewind, fast forward, time sync, plays the iphone4 music through the iHome speaker, etc).  Also, the iPhone4 does not charge as before because the phone is still powered ON.
    D) An iPhone repair technician confirmed the phone battery and female-charge-docking connector work fine because he swapped those parts for new ones and phone still had the same problem.
    The only thing that changed on this iPhone 4 was the ios 7 update.  How can so much go wrong by just updating to ios 7 and do any of you apple gurus have any idea how else to fix this problem?

    I am having the same problem. I can not seem to find any fix. I have tried everything my computer said to do. I am out of options right now. any help?

    Weather not displaying in notification center after iOS 5 update not to mention the entire user interface is much more sluggish.

    Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
    plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
    in iTunes select the phone or iPad
    Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
    Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
    Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
    Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
    Now check them both back on and everything should copy back onto it.
    Working now !!!!!

  • Contacts numbers missing after IOS 5 update.

    Contacts missing after IOS 5 update.  I turned off my phone and turned it back on but only my email contacts were there not my numbers.  I updated it on my PC.

    Ok. So after too much of a fight with the iPhone, here is what i think got back the contacts on my phone.
    Step 1: Setting -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> iCloud : Switch off everything.
    Step 2: Go back to main setting page.
    Step 3: Make sure you see "Inactive" under iCloud.
    Step 4: Hit the home button
    Step 5: Close iTunes and start it back up.
    Step 6: Unplug your iPhone from the computer and plug it back in.
    Step 4,5,6 is to make sure you are starting a new session.
    Step 7: Sync iTunes.
    Step 8: Check your contacts. They should have come back up
    Step 9: Setting -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> iCloud : Switch on everything.
    Choose the option "merge" when you get it.

  • After iOS 5 update, where is Ping in the Music app?

    Hi all. Before the iOS 5 update, when I was listening to a song with my Music app (previously called iPod), when I touched on the display to see the details of the song playing, there were 3 icons: Repeat, Ping and Random.
    The Repeat and Random icons are still there after iOS 5 update, but where is the Ping icon? You know, the one with the "thumb-up" that, once you tapped on it, it turned on blue to say that you liked that song. That icon has disappeared.
    Do you know where is it? Thank you very much. Bye!

    I have Ping turned off in iTunes, thus will not appear on my phone. There is no separate app, Ping gets transferred to your phone if turned on in iTunes on your computer.

  • After ios 8 update I can no longer play music through my car. I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue - whihc has its own cable made to use with iPhone 4 - I use a apple adapter to converst to use with 5.

    After ios 8 update I can no longer play music through my car. I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue - which has its own cable made to use with iPhone 4 - I use a apple adapter to converst to use with 5. Has been working fine up until update. Is there a fix for this? The car does not have usb

    Here I come to save the daaaaaaaaaay!!!
    Had the same issue with my Nissan Rogue 2011.
    This listed below will fix it...
    Go to General > Restrictions > CarPlay -- Make sure Carplay is DISABLED. (The new IOS 8 enables this on default)
    Go to General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    The Nissan Rogue radio system was never designed to work with CarPlay. By default, CarPlay feature comes enabled when you install IOS 8. Suckz, right?
    You're very welcome! Have a great day!
    Sincerely,
    The Superhero

  • After ios 8 update has anyones ipad started randomly selecting everything? Even after ios 8.0.1 update it has still continued to do the same thing.

    After ios 8 update has anyones ipad started randomly selecting everything? Even after ios 8.0.1 update it has still continued to do the same thing making it immpossible to use ipad anymore. Has anyone had the same problem and/or knows how to fix this?

    Try a Reboot pess & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you will not lose any data This may help but the ipad 2 is a bit under powered for iOS 8 If you can a very good buy now is the iPad Air 32G Since they brought the new one out the price for this model Has come down by £120.00 That's the one I am using and it works great on iOS 8.1 Bsydd uk

  • After ios 8 update ipad began to crash

    after ios 8 update apps been crashing and ipad began rebooting by it self it use to do it when first updated to ios 7 until the bug fix update was sent out what to do

    Similar problem too with iPad 2. After updating it just continues to search and won't connect to 3G (verizon). I spent 5 hours at the local apple store and they couldn't solve the problem. There was another person there too with the exact same problem with an iPad 2 and they couldn't fix it either.
    After all of this time they had no solution except to buy a new iPad ....... unbelievable. The issue is not a coincidence and it is obviously due to the software update. Apple's arrogance to openly address and fix the issue is astounding. Very poor customer service for a company that is supposed to be so progressive.

  • Touch Screen unresponsive after iOS 8 update

    My 1 year old 64GB iPhone 5 touch screen started to become unresponsive after iOS 8 update
    It's not consistent. Touch screen functionality will seize whilst phone is being used for either answering calls, typing messges, surfing, gaming etc and won't become responsive until it is turned off and on again (via power button). Home button is functioning with no problems.
    As the phone is now out of its warranty period I want to verify if it's the OS that's causing this or do I actually have a hardware issue.

    I have the same issue. iPhone 5, 1 year-old, not even a scratch.
    Sometimes my touch screen works, sometimes not. When it works, it is just for some seconds, then some phantom touches start to happen all over the screen, but specially, when i'm typing, it types z or m, when I try to type something in, and it receives it, it will act as z or m again....
    If I switch off my screen and switch on again... sometimes it will work, sometimes it wont... veeery unstable.
    I considered downgrading to 7.1.2 but since I heard it is ilegal I decided to wait for a new iOS release.... any suggestions? (already wiped it and the issue continued...)
    Is it really not recommended to downgrade it and have my phone funcionalities back?

  • My iPod 5th gen is not turning on after iOS 8 update!

    My iPod 5th gen is not turning on after iOS 8 update! Before this all happened, I noticed that my apps crashed unexpectedly, it was laggy, and it decides to reset on its own at times. I CAN'T charge or plug it into my computer. Also, my home button is sunk in but my sleep/wake button at the top is most definitely not. I know my iPod was not running out of battery and I did not even power it off. I am very disappointed but I really need it to turn on =/

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    or
    http://joshuabailey1997.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/recboot-v1-3/
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    and                                          
    RecBoot tip
    RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:       
    Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
    For MAC or PC       
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    Installs blootware on PC too
    - 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.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
