My iPhone 4 asked to be updated to iOS6 but will not now start

I have tried the old "hold both buttons down" routine, it will not go into DFU mode and it's only 2 blinking years old! The only thing it will allow me to do is reinstall iOS6 through iTunes and I've already done that. Help, please.

  • Ever since I updated to Yosemite my mac book pro keeps asking for Apple Id and password but will not accept them

    Ever since I updated to Yosemite my mac book pro keeps asking for Apple Id and password but will not accept them.  What can I do?

    Try the advice here. I had the same problem and it worked for me.
    You have to delete the "SC Info" folder from /Users/Shared. You will have to use Terminal to enable you to see this folder first. Make sure iTunes is not running when you delete the "SC Info" folder
    There is an article from Apple on this here. The "SC Info" folder contains iTunes authorization information.
    I did this two weeks ago and iTunes accepted by login. I haven't been asked for my AppleID or password since.

  • Itunes is asking that I edit payment info, but will not accept any changes to allow me to purchase music? I have changed cards, reentered information, uninstalled and re-installed Itunes. Nothing is working, what do I need to do?

    See HT203206: iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • HT4528 My iphone 4s is connected to my wifi but will not connect to internet

    My Iphone 4S is connected to my wifi but will not connect to the internet.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Try going to settings>general>reset>reset network settings. Once you've reset your network settings you will need to be able to plug in your wifi/router password to your wifi appliance. (password to wifi router)
    Good luck.

  • TS1363 my iphone 4 shows up in computer folder but will not connect to itunes

    I have unintalled and reinstalled itunes, updated iphone 4 and it still comes up in my computer folder but will not connect to itunes itself says there is an error to connecting help please!

    Hey there Jachin W.,
    It sounds like you are unable to connect to your home Wi-Fi suddenly on 2 different iOS devices. I would be interested to know if the affected phones are able to connect to a different Wi-Fi connection, but barring that I would use the following article to help troubleshoot the devices and the Wi-Fi connection:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
    Tap and Forget this Network.
    Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
    Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
    Update your device to the latest version of software.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
    And this section from toward the bottom if needed:
    Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network
    Verify that you're attempting to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Make sure you're entering your Wi-Fi password correctly. Passwords may be case sensitive and may contain numbers or special characters.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
    previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    recently used Bluetooth accessories
    VPN and APN settings
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • HT4623 my iphone 5 was just updated with iOS 6, phone days update is completed but will not recognize my wifi admin password so I can not use the phone at all

    My Iphone 5 says my iOS 6 was successfully updated but I can not get the next step complete as it will not recognize my wifi admin password and am unable to use the phone at all HELP Suggestions??

    Enter the correct passcode to access the Wi-Fi, it is NOT the admin password for the Wi-Fi.
    Or, simply plug the device into the computer and restore it from the backup there.

    i have yried to update my 3gs.after i press instaall its not getting started only logo o apple is coming and going again and again

    Use iTunes to update.

  • HT201210 my iphone 3gs said it had updates when i connected it to my laptop, so i let it back up and then clicked update. it had an unkonown error!! it will not now start any if pluged into the iplayer it attempts to restore but the bar hasn't moved in 40

    My Ipnoe 3gs said it had updates when connected to my laptop, so Ihave let it back up then clicked update. It would not update and said it had an unknown error. Now it is trying to restore but it has been plugged in restoring for over an hour and nothing seems to be happening. Can anyone help?? Please,

    Try putting it in recovery mode:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If you can't put it in to recovery mode, try using DFU mode (which is basically recovery mode with iPhones having more serious issues):
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If it does go in to recovery mode but you are still having this issue when restoring it, try it on a different computer.
    It is good that you let it back up. After it restores to factory settings, you can then use itunes to restore it from the backup and get your goodies back:

  • HT5622 Same ID for iPhone an iPad, changed on the phone but will not allow/reflect change on iPad. How do I Chang so I can update?

    It might help to log out and back in with your Apple ID:
    1. Go to the Settings app.
    2. Scroll down and tap iTunes & App Store.
    3. Tap your Apple ID at the top.
    4. Tap View Apple ID.
    5. Tap Sign Out.
    6. Sign back in again with your new info and it should work.

  • When I try to install the ibooks app it asks me to verify my account but will not accept my security number.

    When i try to install the ibooks app on my ipod touch 4 it shows me my apple account details but says that the security number is incorrect. I have not as yet used my account is this the problem?

    It is a problem if you can;t download/install apps.  If you are sure that the card data is correct and the card is valid I would contact the itunes store.  I would go here and select iTunes Store Account and Billing.

  • My iphone apps are synced to my pc,but will not open on pc

    I synced my apps to itunes on my computer, but none of them will open on the computer. Why have a photo collage app if it won't open'

    So that you have a copy on the computer for backup or to transfer them to a different device. In some cases, it's also worthwhile to download them directly to the computer and then sync them to the device.
