Myiphone 4 is locked up after trying to download the ios 6 update

I tried to update over the air my iphone 4 to OSI 6.  Later I got a messege on my phone showing the usb and an arrow to itunes.  My phone is completely hosed up.  I cannot turn it off or on and my DSL keeps dropping before I can get the whole download completed on my mac in itunes.  I cannot lose my text messages that were on my phone.  Can anyone help me?

when I started the update I was at the end of the preparing to download phase and now my screen is just flashing on and off with apple logo

  • After trying to download the iOS 6 update, my phone keeps saying "searching...", and that means it is not trying to activate??

    I have hooked it up to iTunes like the tech from AppleCare told me, we backed up the contacts, and tried to restore it to factory settings. It is still doing the "searching...." at the top of the screen. The tech told me to turn it off for an hour and he would call back but he thinks I need to go into an Apple store, and the closest one is an hour away. Not to mention, it is going to be crazy busy with 5 just coming out. If anyone has any information for me, I would really appreciate it, I am frustrated to say the least right now!

    Sorry, yes iTunes on your computer.
    When I updated my iPad 3 and iPod Touch 4th generation to iOS 6 a few months back, I was able to update the iPad effortlessly over WiFi. but I kept getting error messages when trying to update the iPod over WiFi, so I used iTunes on my MacBook Pro.
    Connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPad under the devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update
    If you are using iTunes 11, go to View>Show Sidebar at the top - so the sidebar is visible.

  • After trying to run the iTunes automatic update, I got this "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." Click OK to try again,or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'itunes.msi"

    After trying to run the iTunes automatic update, I got this box on my pc "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi" in the box below.. I ran a search for the file, and entered that into the box, to no avail. Then I launched iTunes and clicked on 'check for updates', and was told I had the latest version 11.0.1 I think it is. So, any clue on what to do? Thanks for any and all help.

    (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?

    Hi inharmony35,
    If you are having issues with iTunes after an attempted update, you may want to try the steps in the following articles:

  • What do I do after I got an error after trying to download the security update?

    What do I do next when I got an error after trying to download the security update?

    Thank you for providing these details.  It makes helping you much easier.
    You have a 16GB iPad, but have only 2.4GB available.  This is likely contributing to the issue.  This amount, 15% of the iPad's storage capacity, is the minimum free space you should have.  But when updating iOS, you should expect the new version to use somewhat more space than the old.  I believe going to Settings > General > Usage and freeing space will help with your issue.
    Another recommendation would be to use iTunes on your computer to do the update instead of over-the-air.
    I believe either one of these would help you.  Both would be at least as good.

  • I am trying to download the latest iTunes update.  Keep getting error message stating "The folder path 'My Documents' contains an invalid character".  I can't uninstall iTunes for the same reason.  HELP!

    I am trying to download the latest iTunes update; keep getting error message that says "The folder path 'My Documents' contains an invalid character".  This also happens when I try to uninstall iTunes.  HELP!

    OK, never mind!  I saw another question on the right side that addressed the problem, and it worked perfectly!  Went to Major Geeks' page, downloaded the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility, and was able to reinstall the updated version of iTunes!  This community is super!

  • Hi, I bought an iPod 2 and I jailbreaked it before. I tried to download the iOS 5.0.1 from the Settings icon on my iPad 2 and then my iPad wouldn't turn on anymore and it kept on showing a screen with an arrow pointing to an iTunes symbol.

    Hi, I bought an iPod 2 and I jailbreaked it before. I tried to download the iOS 5.0.1 from the Settings icon on my iPad 2 but then my iPad wouldn't turn on anymore and it kept on showing a screen with an arrow pointing to an iTunes symbol. I later learned that this was the recovery screen so I tried to put it out of the recovery mode by pressing the home button and power button simultaneously, but the screen kept on returning back to the recovery screen. I could not restore the iPad 2 on iTunes either, so I downloaded Tiny Umbrella 5.10.01 and tried to save the shsh. However, under the recovering devices section on the left side, my iPad did not appear and I only got a device titled ?18092..... I tried to save the shsh of this ?18902... anyways but this did not work. So, I clicked on the device and pressed the exit recovery but then my iPad2 screen went black with a white apple logo in the middle. This logo keeps on dimming and disappearing and even when I plug my iPad 2 to the computer, neither my iTunes nor the Tiny Umbrella notice it. I need urgent help!

    At this point only a restore will fix your issue.

    I have an iphone 4s. I tried to download the iOS 7 but it couldn't download because it said it was an error. I have plenty of space to download the upgrade. Do you know what it is?

    Keep trying or maybe try again later.  There are millions of people who are currently trying to do the same thing you're doing.  Just be patient and you will be able to update, this happens on launch day.  Just curious.....what was the error

    i tried to download the latest itunes update, but received an error and now can't open itunes at all. Help?

    Hello bajura007,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with installing the latest iTunes update.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    When you get to the step to uninstall iTunes, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step.

    You are only as young as you feel......
    This is an example of how you can select the exact content that you want to sync to your device. You do not have to sync the entire iTunes library. You can pick and choose the music, apps, books and so on that you want to sync. This is using music as an example.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on only the albums or playlists that you want to sync.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    You can do this with apps, books, movies .... Whatever .... You have the freedom to sync whatever you want.
