My iPhone has been stuck in the apple logo loop

I tried to restore the software using iTunes. It came up with the error " The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9). After talking with tech support they said that it was a hardware issue. Does anybody know what component i need to replace?

See: Resolve iOS update and restore errors
There are no user serviceable parts in an iPhone, and no legitimate source for replacement parts, as Apple does not sell them. Thus, any part you buy was scavenged from some other phone and may or may not work. There's also no way to identify which part might need replacing. Most likely it is the logic board, but there's no way to know for sure. Apple will replace the phone for $269 if out of warranty, free if in warranty.

My iphone4 has been stuck on the connect to itunes logo for a few hours. I connected it to itunes and it says that the iphone is on recovery mode and that I need to restore it to use it with itunes. I'm afraid that if I restore it I will loose everything help please!!

AT this point whatever data you have on yoru phone is already gone since it is in recovery mode.
However you can restore from your backup, when your phone reboots from recovery.
YOu do have a backup right?

" 3 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information" I have searched and I have tried the solutions on the forum. My iPhone has been successfully synced without error and I am trying to sync with new laptop.

" 3 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information" I have searched and I have tried the solutions on the forum. My iPhone has been successfully synced previously on my mac mini without error. I am trying to sync my iPhone with new MacBook Pro.

Modular77: With respect the dialog on the iPhone 'XX items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information.' , would you happen to know where to look in iTunes? I looked in all the places that seemed logical to me.
I am, however, asking only for future reverence, as the initial sync which generated the error dialog was done via USB, and almost immediately after the USB sync, I ran a WiFi Sync—two in a row in fact—both initiated from the iPhone. Both WiFi syncs completed successfully with no error dialog.
I then ran another USB sync initiated from iTunes on the Macintosh, as was the first sync which gave the error. This second USB sync also completed successfully with no errors.
I think someone in this thread mentioned non-AppleStore products or DMR issues which I think could not have been an issue in my case, as I was running the sync to install updated Apps from the AppStore, and additionally had deleted some music and movie items to make sure there was room for the App updates. Nothing was added other than the recently downloaded App updates from the AppStore.
iPhone3GS iOS 5.1.1 build 9B206.
          Developer Profile enabled. iCloud enabled.
          32 GB “disk.” About 1.5 GB free after sync.
          iPhone NOT jailbroken
MacBook 13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008 (NOT Macbook Pro)
     Lion 10.4.7 build 11E53. 2 GB RAM.
Thanks for any info or advice. Problem IS now solved, but it absorbed a lot of time to reach that point.

I'm using Dropbox on my iPhone 4 and tried downloading a long video. It just stopped and has been "stuck" there for over a month.

I tried downloading a rather long video from my iPhone 4 to Dropbox. It started to download, but then stopped. It has been "stuck" for over a month. The video shows up in my Dropbox folder as still downloading, but it is grayed out so I can't even delete it or access it all. My phone shows a notification on the Dropbox app and when I open it, the indicator on my phone shows it's trying to download something but it doesn't complete it.
I've tried turning my phone off and on, but it's still in the "stuck" mode in my Dropbox folder. The video doesn't show up in any of my other Dropbox locations.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks, Diane

Delete and re-download the Dropbox app. You will have to sign in again and adjust app settings.

TS4006 My Iphone has been stolen. I have the IMEI number. How do I search for it?

My Iphone has been stolen. I have the IMEI number. How do I search for it?

I'm afraid the IMEI number won't do you any good: its principal value is in enabling your service provider to block the phone.
In order for your iPhone to be locatable you must have enabled the 'Find My Phone' app on it prior to losing it, and it must be on, not wiped, and able to connect to a network. Unless all these conditions are true there is no way of locating it.

HT201263 I just got my iPhone 4 yesterday, and I went through the very first steps you have to when first setting up your iPhone, and I finish and it says I have no service and i have to restore my device? But my phone has been stuck on the Apple logo?Why

My iPhone has been "frozen" for two hours now on the Apple logo, after me seeing a notification pop up and tell me I have to restore my device. And my device has been stuck since I started and does not seem to be making any progress besides vibratingf every three or so minutes. Why is this?

I'm having this EXACT same problem with my iPhone 4, and I have the same computer stats (I have a Samsung Series 7)

The location service of my iPod touch has been stuck

I've an 4G 32GB iPod Touch, iOS 6 it have a problem, my location service has been stuck on Caracas, but I'm on a trip now, and when I conect it on a wifi network and try to get some directions it give me the location of my house in caracas, plz help.
Greetings from venezuela.

Are you connecting to a public network or your own rrouter that you brought with you?
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. You do not have to be connected to the network/router to use that router's location. Thus, it appears that the iPod can't see a nearby router that is in Apple's database. Apple continuously updated their database based on info they obtain from iPhones. No one has been able to find a way to inform Apple of a router or correct is location.
If a public network
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset network settings: Settings>GeneraL>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Hello Elliiee,
The steps detailed below can help stabilize your iPhone.
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
