  • Iphone seems to be working but only shows apple logo, itunes sees the phone normally, when i restored it appeared successful and itunes tried activating my phone but the screen only shows apple logo nothing else???

    my iphone is detected in itunes as normal, but screen on the phone only shows apple logo??? restored and everything but no difference its weird, it restores successfully and stuff but once done the screen only shows apple logo.. note:while restoring everything goes through as normal on the phone it shows the bar loading etc.. but once complete just stays on apple logo.

    It can take a few minutes to reinitialize, but if it stays on the Apple logo for as much as 10 minutes there is something seriously wrong. Try restoring again, and set up as a new phone rather than installing your backup. If this fixes it you have a corrupt backup. If this doesn't fix it the phone is broken. Or possibly jailbroken.

  • TS1363 I'm trying to update to newest software, but during proccess, an error accured, now the iphone 4s wont do anything, it only shows plug into itunes. when i do, the device is not recognized by windows or itunes. any ideas?

    im trying to update to newest ios version. but during the proccess, an unknown error accured, now the device wont do anything, just shows the plug into itunes screen. the device does not show in windows or itunes. the iphone wont do anything. i tried restarting, it shuts off and back on, but only shows plug into itunes thing. any ideas?

    From my experience, the only way you're gonna get a PC afflicted with this disease to work with a 5th gen nano is to roll back to an earlier version of iTunes.  Those affected have been exhausted by this ongoing issue.  To update or not to update?  And I always say never update unless you have to, and turn off all that auto update mess!
    I have two core2duo lappies running 32b vista.  My workflow dictates 32b fyi.  One is acer aspire running itunes v 11.1 (.0.126),  5th gen nano was originally formatted and works just fine on this machine to this day.  My other is the bigger badder lenovo thinkpad and the 5th gen will NOT mount using any version of itunes past 11.0 (.1.12)  Windows mounts it just fine.  itunes is not having it.  no shirt no shoes no service.
    I have both a 4th and 5th gen nano.  The 4th gen works great on both machines, I even successfully tested it with the latest version (11.1.5) before subsequent deletion on the thinkpad!  Weird huh?  I think my next experiment might be to restore my 5th gen w/ a Mac and theeeeen plug it into PC itunez.
    I'm at a loss on the thinkpad.  Scanned for intruders.  Cut the Lenovo bloat.  Executed system and reg maintenance.  Took down msconfig to a safe mode + itunes level to attempt to resolve possible sw conflicts but to no avail.  NO NO NO.  Every single dang port, every time on the thinkpad.  Has me feeling like others might get the same treatment by the next itunes update.  :|
    So in summary for me:
    5th gen nano and thinkpad are a NoGo on 11.1^  last working version for me = 11.0.1
    5th gen nano is working on an acer aspire 11.1.0  but no way in the world am I updating
    4th gen nano is kicking 5th gen nano's @zz so what would make me want to buy a new ipod?

  • While updating my iphone software it got intruppted and now showing connect to itune not getting restored

    while updating my iphone software it got intruppted and now showing connect to itune not getting restored please help

    Try doing a hard reset on the phone;
    1. Hold Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time;
    2. Wait for the Apple logo to appear (ignore the slide to Power Off option)
    3. Let go of the buttons when you see Apple on the screen
    4. Allow iPhone to reboot;
    If you are still unable to get the phone to power on, charge, or connect to iTunes; it could possibly require service. (hardware replacement)

  • TS1363 my iphone 4 doesnt show up in itunes. it is also locked on the 'connect to itunes screen' when unplugged from the computer. help me!

    my iphone 4 doesnt show up in itunes. it is also locked on the 'connect to itunes screen' when unplugged from the computer. help me!

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • I brought iphone 4 16gb as unlocked but its showing sim shows no signali brought iphone 4 16gb as unlocked but its showing sim shows no signal what can i do ?

    i brought iphone 4 16gb as unlocked but its showing sim no signal wt can i do now?

    Showing that the sim has no signal does not mean that your phone is locked.  If you phone was locked, then it would come up with an invalid sim message instead.
    If you have no signal, then try taking the sim card out of your phone and re-inserting it and then re-starting the phone and see if this works, but in the end you need to contract your phone company/carrier with regard to no signal.  What company sim card are you using?  You need to contact them as they provide the service and it is only them that can sort out why you are not receiving a signal with their sim card in your phone.

  • Why won't my iPhone 5s running iOS 7.0.2 show up in iTunes?

    I recently purchased an iPhone 5s for T-Mobile. Yesterday, I got my number switched over at the T-Mobile retail store, and I brought it home and connected it to my laptop with the current latest version of iTunes (11.1.11 64-bit).
    After I connect it, my computer makes the hardware connect sound, and shows up in "Computer" (Windows 8 Pro), and I cxan access all of my pictures and videos, but it refuses to show up in iTunes.
    I tried it again, and this time, a message showed up on the screen of my phone, asking if  trust this computer, and of course I did, so I tapped "Trust". After this, I heard the sound that plays when you disconnect a USB device from the computer, but it still shoed up in Computer, and still nothing in iTunes.
    I have tried everything that I've read about on other parts of the Apple Support Communities:
    Checking other USB ports (Both 2.0 and 3.0)
    Switching cables
    Reinstalling iTunes (multiple times)
    Restarting my computer (multiple times)
    Still, I have gotten nothing. I really need to sync my phone because I have all my contacts that I need to sync, as well as the music and photos that I have stored on my computer.

    Hi, Farticus10. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would recommend the steps in the article below.  See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

  • When i plug my iphone in to usb it goes to pictures on windows 8 . it doesnt show up in itunes

    i cant get on itunes with my iphone. when i plug it in to usb it goes to pictures. it doesnt show up in itunes

    Opening a pictures app on the computer is normal if you have your computers settings set to open Pictures when a camera is attached. For the purpose of transferring photos from the iPhone to the computer your computer will recognize an iPhone as a camera.
    Did you quick the pictures application an manually start iTunes 11.1 or later? Use the view menu in iTunes to .view Sidebar. Does the iPhone appear in the Sidebar?
