My iPhone will not start but does show up on iTunes

Hello,
I've had my iPhone 4 for about 2 weeks and it was working just fine but 2 days ago i went camping and put my iPhone in my bag so it wouldn't get damaged,when I woke up the day after my phone wouldn't work.
After I connected it to my laptop iTunes said that it was in Recovery Mode so I tried everything including restoring it to try and get it out of recovery mode but nothing works! (while I was downloading the iPhone software to restore it an error occured so I wasn't able to actually restore it).

while I was downloading the iPhone software to restore it an error occured so I wasn't able to actually restore it
Did you get an error message, and if so, what exactly did the error message say?

Hi JG14usa,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you attempted an update on your daughter’s iPhone but the update will not complete. For this type of situation, it may be necessary to place your iPhone into recovery mode and restore. Please use the instructions located in the attached article to complete this process.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

HT201413 my iphone will not start,,,

SORY,,, my IPhone will not start,,, his cannot turn on

Plug it into external power for approximately 20 minutes.
If it does not power on at that point, try a reset by pressing and holding the power and home buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

I have a MacBook pro that has power issues and will not start but the hardrive is fine. I do not want to lose all of my files so I was wondering if it's possible to transfer my hardrive from a older Macbook pro to a new one if I were to purchase a new one? Also, the software is not updated as the computer hasn't worked for about 2 months.
Also, if it is possible to transfer the hardrive, would my iTunes music transfer as well? It is not saved in the cloud.
Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.

You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
These are the steps:
Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
Put it in a cheap enclosure
Connect it the new computer
Boot up new computer.
If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

I have installed LR 6 for windows (win7) and LR will not start but hangs up. I have uninstalled the software and re-installed it, Tried to open it as Administrator and it still hangs up with the Adobe banner (the picture) being displayed. Nothing happens. When I click on anything I get the message that Lightroom is not responding. I have asked to have a new catalog created for Lightroom 6............Please help.
Thank you. Leo

hbereth,,
It is Ideal to install Creative Cloud app , if you are using Adobe apps.
Creative Cloud is nothing but an updated version of Adobe Application manager. Adobe Application Manager is required for different purposes like Activation, Update.process and installation processes.etc
Adobe application manager must be up to date , that brings to Creative Cloud application which is the updated version .
No need to Sign in and all , just keep it install, if you are not okay with installing Creative Cloud app. it's okay , you can still have Adobe Application Manager only.

Hi, My iPhone will not start up . I plugged it into my iMac and it cannot find it .

Hi , My Iphone will not start up. when I plug it into my Imac , it cannot find my phone ?

Suggestions: 1. make sure you have the lates version of iTunes; 2. try resetting your iPhone before syncing (
Hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds until the Apple logo appears; when you see the Apple logo let go of both buttons and your iPhone will reboot); 3. try using a different cable.

HT4623 My Iphone will not start. There was an error in updating. Is anyone else having this issue

My Iphone will not start. There was an error in updating. Is anyone else having this issue

After connecting to iTunes, I noticed that "Back up to iCloud" was selected (in the middle of the screen on the "Summary" tab, under "Backup"), and "Last backed up to iCloud" reflected the time that I attempted to back up from my phone. Even now, the phone still says "Last Backup: Never," so there is clearly a disconnect. Hopefully Apple will fix this soon.

All of sudden apple tv will not play my tv shows/movies on itunes. It says "The connected display is not authorized to play protected movies.
Can anyone help I have just bought alot of movies and tv shows and want to watch them with my family not just on my ipad!!!
Not sure why this has just started happening. have been using apple tv with my ipad for months and now it comes up with this error...
THanks

Firstly restart the AppleTV, secondly check the HDMI lead and if possible swap for another or another HDMI input - sounds as though AppleTV thinks the TV is not HDCP capable.

My Ipod classic will not sync a tv show episode on Itunes

My Ipod classic will not sync a tv show episode on Itunes even though I already have another episode working on my ipod classic and it says it

How is your iPod configured to sync TV Shows? What options do you have enabled from under your iPod's TV Shows configuration tab in iTunes?
No error messsages when you sync your Classic with iTunes? Try resetting all warnings with the device by right->clicking on it from under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes and choosing Reset warnings. Then resync your device to see if any errors appears.

My Iphone will not come on, all it does is beep every 2 seconds.

Have you taken any troubleshooting steps?
Start by resetting your iPhone, hold both power and home buttons together for 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears, then let go and wait for iPhone to restart. You will not lose any information.

OS 9 will not start, but its installed

I did a software restore on my G4 flat panel mac os 10.2.8. Now classic will not start. I dragged the system folder for mac os 9 to my hard drive, which was located on the mac os 9 install cd. I am unable to start my computer from the os 9 cd. When I open system preferences and under the classic folder it says select a system folder for classic. Under Hard drive the system folder is highlighted. However, when I start classic, i get this white box which says: The system software on the startup disk only functions on the original media, not if copied to another drive. In the background is the much larger box that always shows up when classic starts. But it doesnt start. the white box just appears and I am completely lost. I tried to install os 9, but it says it is already installed and the white box appears again. Please help.

Medina,
6 CDs is exactly right, these are your restore discs. You should be able to insert the first one and run the restore program. If I could find my copies of the 6 CD's from my old iMacG4 (now given away) I could tell you exactly where to look, but it's can't see the wood for the trees here.
Always the last place you look. And now I see what you mean. And this now explains everything.
I think that the 6 CDs you have are exactly the same as mine, that is they are for a first generation FP iMac. For this iMac you had to boot of the first CD (into OS9 - despite what I assumed earlier). This would explain the presence of an OS9 System Folder on the restore CDs.
Now if you cannot boot from the first CD, it would suggest that these CDs did not come with your iMac. I'd be a bit perplexed as to how you managed to restore OSX 10.2 (in your first post) and now you're up to OSX 10.3.
None of this matters though. With a bit of copying you should be able to get a usable OS9 system folder onto your iMac. You'll need about 5G of free disk space.
On each CD is a Configurations folder. In there is a disk image "iMac HD Disc #", where # is from 1 to 6. You should copy each of these to your iMac internal hard disk, in a folder all of their own. Then mount the first disk image, all the rest should be used as required and you'll end up with an original iMac mounted disk image. You can then copy the System Folder from that to your internal hard disk. Then unmount the disk image and trash the 6 disk image files.
If you need more detailed instructions, let us know.

Time machine will not backup but does restore

My Time machine will not backup, but will restore from prior backups - the last made three months ago (end of January). Can anyone help? When trying to run a backup the screen shows:
Select Disc (which I have already done)
704 GB of 1 TB available
Oldest backup: none
A continuosly revolving progress bar
"Preparing Backup"
Note that when I run Time Machine in order to restore, all backups prior to Jan 30th are there.
I am running OSX Mountain LIon Version 10.8.3

There shouldn't be. Delete any others.
Make sure the one you deleted was in your top-level /Library folder (not the Library folder inside your home folder). If you got the right one, when you went back to the Time Machine Preferences window, it should not have shown your TM drive or anything else.
I am running Parallels 8 and windows 7 in a Virtual machine, but these do not appear to have created problems in the past - over two years now.
You probably should exclude the VM files from Time Machine backups. That shouldn't be the cause of much of this problem, but may be a problem in the future. The reason is, to OSX, a VM file is one huge file -- if anything at all is changed, TM considers the whole thing changed, and will back it up again, taking time and lots of space on your backup disk.
Have you Verified your internal HD, and Repaired any other disks being backed-up, and your backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting?
What are you backing-up to (external HD, Time Capsule, etc.)?

I have windows 7 and my firefox client will not open, but it shows in task manager with 108k memory. Whats going on with my firefox?

As stated on the question I have windows 7 and meet all the requirements. But when i launch firefox It wont start, but it shows in task manager with 108k memory.

Got the exact same problem aswell, finally fed up with it now as i just started up firefox and 14 new windows opened because of this bug, luckily my computer can handle them but someone with a slower processor it would have been a nightmare, needs fixing ASAP.
Reverting back to 3.6.3 until this issue is solved. (link for anyone wanting to do the same below)
