My iPhone 4 died after updating to the new software

Hi all,
I was just wondering if this had happened to anyone else, two days ago i tried to upgrade my iPhone to the new software, 4.2, and my iPhone literally died on me! Now all that appears on my iPhone's screen is the connect to iTunes sign. When i do connect it, a message comes up saying my iPhone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. Unfortunately though every time I try this the restore fails. I have called apple support and now have to go up to the Apple Store in Sydney and get them to give me a new phone. As i said above i was wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem.
Cheers

  • I am having issues restoring my iPhone 4 after updating to the latest software

    About 2 hours ago, I plugged in my phone to iTunes to update the software. I backed everything up and I thought I was good to go. For the past two hours it has been going back to the 'Welcome" screen, like it would if you are using a new iPhone for the first time. When I click through the menu and go to "Restore from iTunes", it does absolutely nothing. I have tried backing up from iCloud but it only shows a backup from January, but I backed it up today. How can I get everything back to how it should be? I am really upset because it is an absolute neccessity for me to have my phone in the morning. I have tried to restore it mulitple times but nothing is happening. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

    This is possible from with in Lr4.4 there is absoultely no need for what you are suggesting.

    Okay , you should only delete EMPTY DUPLICATED folders, not preview folders or any others. I would put them all back. Then just delete any DUPLICATED EMPTY folders, do not disturb any other folders. On iOS switch off DOCUMENTS AND DATA under ICLOUD in SETTINGS. Do this on all iOS devices not just the one. Once deleted DUPLICATE FOLDERS on the mac in MOBILE FOLDERS then exit the LIBRARY. Open PAGES on your MAC and view folders on icloud. Check everything is all there as expected. If okay then DELETE and re-install PAGES app on iOS - THEN switch on DATA and DOCUMENTS in ICLOUD. Now open PAGES. If you have Time Machine on you can recover any 'lost' doc files and restore them from your mac from pages application. Try the process again and do not disturb any folders other than ones I mentioned as this is the system files LIBRARY. It is not a place to be over zealous in moving, altering and deleting folders and files. Take care please.

  • Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "

    Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "
    i was in 4.3.1 then i do the update , but now after update i face this problem , so what i Supposed to do ?!!

    Hi There
    Had the same problem as you. App would terminate when launched.
    Solution to working You Tube app:
    -Go to playstore
    - Uninstall app (it doesn't remove the app, only removes the update)
    - "Et Voila", working again.
    This doesn't correct the problem, it's just a workaround for you to be able to use youtube app again.
    Hope it helped.
    Best Regards

  • HT1688 I tried to update my iPhone 5 this morning with the new software update and now it won't turn on. When I plug into my itunes account, it says my phone is in recovery mode. Was working perfectly prior to the attempt to update. How do I fix this?

    I tried to update my iPhone 5 this morning with the new software update. Now my phone won't turn on. When I plug into iTunes, it says that my phone is in recovery mode and that it needs to be restored to factory settings. Is there a way to fix this without losing my settings? Why would this happen on a software update?

    That is not what it says. Read the message again. It's telling you it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and it must be restored.
    Restore it. You don't have a choice at this point.

    Same problem here, and it's not isolated.

    I believe you will find you can again sync Photos if you delete the "iPod Photo Cache", but predict that any subsequent attempt will fail.  In my case, the enxt sync removes all the photos again - I've seen other reports of error messages upon sync.  Mine just fails silently. :-)

    Hello vikings2013
    You can recover photos from iTunes or iCloud as long as you had a backup. The article below will give instructions on backup and restore through both options of computer and iCloud.

  • Hello after updating to the new iTunes i got a box saying that i needed a new version of Apple Mobile Device Support and ihat i should uninstall iTunes and Apple Mobile Device Support then install iTunes again.  I have been unable to uninstall itunes

    Hello- after updating to the new iTunes i got a box saying that i needed a new version of Apple Mobile Device Support and ihat i should uninstall iTunes and Apple Mobile Device Support then install iTunes again.  Problem is I have been unable to uninstall itunes, can't find the installation files .msi.  I'm using Windows XP. 
    Help!

    Problem is I have been unable to uninstall itunes, can't find the installation files .msi.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • After updating to the new ios i can Undock ipad but cannot move it across the screen anymore! I'm using the ipad 3. Help anyone??

    Hello
    After updating to the new iOS on my ipad 3 I find that I can no longer move the undocked keyboard across the screen to my desired location as I used to. Does anyone else have the same issue?

    Here's the writeup from the iOS 6 Manual for iPad about moving and splitting the keyboard:
    Keyboard layouts
    On iPad, you can type with a split keyboard that’s at the bottom of the screen, or undocked and in the middle of the screen.
    Adjust the keyboard: Touch and hold , then:
    Use a split keyboard: Slide your finger to Split, then release.
    Move the keyboard to the middle of the screen: Slide your finger to Undock, then release.
    Return to a full keyboard: Slide your finger to Dock and Merge, then release.
    Return a full keyboard to the bottom of the screen: Slide your finger to Dock, then release. Turn Split Keyboard on or off: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Split Keyboard.
