Itunes says "restoring iphone apps" as soon as I connect my phone to the computer after ios 5 update
So I've downloaded ios5. And itunes just gets stuck at "restoring iphone apps".
even if I close itunes (which I can only do with the task mananger) and then reboot it, as soon as I connect the phone it says "restoring iphone apps" again and just gets stuck at that. So I cannot access anything on there.
Doesn't help that I now can't even use my phone at all as it keeps telling me I can't use the e-mail address that I have registered as it's already in use!!!!!
So I now have a phone that I cannot use at all! An I can't restore on itunes because it gets stuck in that loop if I plug it in!
The same happened to me. While it's restoring apps, you will be able to set up your ipod with iOS5. You can do that without disconnecting it from your computer. It will take quite a long time but it will go from restoring ipod apps, to restore music, videos and pictures. Be patient and it will finish the process in a few hours.

I was on iTunes on my computer trying to drag a song from my iPhone 4 to my computer but when I connected my phone to the computer using a USB cable then it said that it couldn't connect to my phone because I need to get the later version of iTunes. How do I do that?

I have over 300 pictures on my phone...my question to someone iphone savvy is why, when I plug my phone into the computer is iPhoto showing no pictures? I want to delete them for space issues. Thanks
I've seen this happen when the phone was encrypted... Other than calling apple/deleting passcodes I don't know of any solution.
If you're keen on waiting, upload your photos to dropbox, that's the way I do it. -
I am having a problem burning a disc with ITunes. I get a message that I have to download the program again as there are some files that didn't download because of another disc burning program. I am sure this is true as I have Media Player and Nero on this computer. What is it that I have to look for or do? I have uninstalled both of these programs. Are there certain files that I have to delete? Please help.
Also, I have an Ipad and I put the cord into the Ipad and into the computer and now I can't get it out of the IPad. It is really in there tightly. I can get it out of the computer by clicking on safely remove hardware. Why did this happen? It has never happened before.
I would appreciate any help anyone can give me with these two problems. Thank you.
I am assuming that this ITunes is for Windows as it is on this computer and also on the Ipad.You'll have to reinstall iPhoto in order to get the themes linked back to the application. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally.

Any thoughts?
Hello bookwyrm42,
It sounds like your Mail app is just closing on you when you try and read your email no matter what you do. I would start by quitting the Mail app outright:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Last weekend I went to the Apple store to replace my phone because the WiFi on my phone is nonfunctional. I need to back up to iCloud before I can replace my phone because I have information on there that needs to be saved. The worker at the Apple store said that, since I cannot connect to WiFi, I needed to plug my phone into my computer in order to back up. I went into iTunes and turned iCloud on, but my phone still will not back up to iCloud. So, I need to know exactly how to back up my iPhone to iCloud without WiFi?

Unfortunately, you can't restore an iCloud backup without using wifi so that isn't an option. -
Since updating to iOS 7 the compass on my iPhone 4S is all over the place but mainly 180° out tried calibrating rebooting etc etc and no difference.!
Nope, i generally hate iTunes for it being annoying and incredibly "damaging" to the computer (slows my computer down a shitload when booting atleast), so I've avoided it at any costs till now. Shame apple "forces" us to use their more "******" apps in order to "guard" ourselves against stuff like this... I'll survive, the most important pics are on facebook, and the apps and contacts I can easily replace. For my part Apple has one life less when it comes to me buying another product from them.
Thanks for all the replys , i appreciate a community like this!

Phone will turn on after ios update, itunes symbol and charger symbol keep showing up on screen
iphone 4 won't turn on after an update, itunes symbol and charging symbol keep showing up but nothing happens when you press any buttons
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPho fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iphone 4s will not update to ios 7. I'm trying to update this through my imac because the iphone will also not connect to my home wifi. I've tried several different things but nothing is working. I deleted enough pics and apps so there is enough storage. When i plug it in, it starts to bring all my photos to the imac. I cancel this because i don't want it. It then says extracting software, backing up iphone, then i get the error message. Do I need the iphone 5?
I just tried again, no code comes up on the imac. Just says cannot back up this device with my "initials" because of an error. It's weird because my iphone has been connected to othert wifi sources in the past. I've looked through these forums and have tried multiple things like resetting the phone, resetting network, shutting off modem and router, nothing works. I have an apple airport extreme router too. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to choose which songs from my itunes library to add to my phone? Also, my pictures are stored on my computer but not my itunes library, can I pick and choose which pictures to upload to my new iphone 4s? Any help/advice would be appreciated. Thanks
Under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, you have the option to transfer your entire music library or selected playlists, artists, genres, albums.
iTunes does not store photos. iTunes serves as the transfer conduit to transfer photos from your computer to your iPhone, which is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
If you manually manage photo storage on your computer, create a folder on your computer to place the named folder of photos you want transferred to your iPhone. Select the parent folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync. -

ITunes keep saying restoring iPhone after updating to iOS 5
I have just upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 5. After updating, my iTunes keep saying restoring iPhone apps. Now I can use my iPhone but without my previous apps. I have also tried closing iTunes and open it again but it still says restoring iPhone apps as soon as it detact my iPhone. Does anyone knows how to solve this problem? By the way, I am using Windows.
I had the same issue with my iPad. The iPad itself thought it was fully updated (had taken me to the iCloud set up etc) but iTunes insisted it was still restoring apps. I closed down iTunes each time via the task manager.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, which didn't help.
What I did in the end was disconnect the iPad while iTunes was still running - without any attempt to eject it. When I then plugged it back in, it came up with an error message along the lines of "An attempt to restore this iPad was interrupted. Do you wish to continue attempting to restore?" I hit cancel, and I was then able to do a manual sync as normal, and all my app data was restored. -
IOS5 update - anyone else stuck at 'restoring iPhone apps'?
Got past the dreaded 3200 error when updating and everything restored to the phone. The sync finished but my iTunes has a pop-up box that says 'Restoring iPhone Apps' and a 'STOP' button. and just keeps churning and churning. Anyone else stuck in this mode? Not sure if I'm supposed to wait forever for this thing to go away?
I tried hitting the Stop button but nothing happens.
Some apps transferred to the phone, some didn't.
What to do now??? Any suggestions??
Thanks!I'm sorry I'm no help but just to say I'm in the same boat. I went through the on-screen instructions on my iPhone and got the home screen but I can't open any of my apps.
Went back to iTunes to see this window still open..
It's been like it for half an hour, but oh! as I was typing my iTunes pinged. It's just finished and I can confirm that my apps are opening and working correctly.
I guess it depends on the speed of the computer your using, but it will finish eventually! -

My iPhone 4s screen went black. I can hear the phone receiving messages though. I tried to restore through itunes. I failed because "find my iPhone" app is on, I cannot switch it on since the screen is black and I can't see
Instead of trying to restore through iTunes, use the Find My iPhone to your advantage.
Either go to www.icloud.com and perform a remote wipe of the device via FMiP, or download the FMiP app to another iOS device and do it from there.
A remote wipe will also restore the device back to factory settings.
