New iPhone.  Nothing but trouble.!  Help.!

Hi, 2 days ago I purchased a 16GB iPhone 3G. I did manage to register it using iTunes 7 and I then updated to iTunes 8, This prompted me to update the software on the phone. I started to do this and part way through I got the 'blue screen of death' and the pc rebooted. This left my iPhone with no software and completely unusable. I tried many times after to update but with no luck (my laptop) now wont boot at all. I tried updating on a friends Mac but it again would not update my phone. I have since tried on 2 other pc's and each say the iTunes update server cannot be reached. Right now I'm wishing I'd stayed with a Nokia. Anyone have any ideas please.?

Go back to your Nokia..........

    How could we know what it is?  We can examine your phone.
    If you think there's a problem, bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • PC Suite 6.83--Nothing But Trouble

    I was sent 6.83 over the Internet and anxiously installed the program on Win XP Home SP2 computer. Instead, I have had nothing but trouble. Nokia told me it was a MS problem. MS said it was my computer's manufacuturer's problem (Dell). Dell said that I had to reformat my hard drive (and you know how long that takes!).
    I've done all that and have been reloading programs, but PC Suite still doesn't work:
    -sometimes the icon keep spinning endlessly and only stops when I restart the computer.
    -sometimes it connects once, then not again.
    -I have reinstalled it at least twice and now I can't get the program to uninstall.
    Please help!

    Thank you for the tip of using the last five digits of the message number.
    However, this has not helped. I tried reloading an older version of PC Suite from the CD that I purchased with the cable as told byNokia tech support.
    Again, I got the cable driver unloaded but not PC Suite.
    Of interest is that when I click to uninstall PC Suite from the Add and Remove Programs site, the program which pops up is the new 6.83 version Installation program--not the uninstall program.
    I am about ready to throw in the towel and go to my Pocket PC as my PIM and use the phone only on the 6682 until I can get a Windows Mobile Phone.
    This has left a bad taste for me to Nokia and Symbian OS.

    While having a perfectly running iTunes and all programs associated, I was notified of the iTunes 10.4 upgrade. After following typical directions, I have had nothing but trouble. First “iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 5)” occurred. Following directions found at https://discussions.apple.com/message/15087646#15087646, I now get the following “iTunes.exe - System Error The program can't start because AVFoundationCF.dll is still missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.”, Along with “iTunesHelper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)” I am running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit on HP TouchSmart tx2-1275dx. I was one week away from buying an iPad but not if this is what I have to deal with. Please help

    I actually managed to resolve this on my own by downloading iTunes from the Apple website and reinstalling iTunes that way. Here's the link: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ That should fix your problem. Good luck!

  • My iPhone 5c has a broken screen and won't let me swipe. I got a new iPhone 5c, but want my stuff to backup to it. I haven't backed my old one up in over a year because the storage is full. How would I back it up to iCloud on a Dell or Toshiba computer?

    Hi Linda Loo Loo,
    If you have backed up previously to iTunes on a specific computer, even if it has been a while, you may be able to still backup even if you are unable enter the passcode on your iPhone due to a damaged screen. You may find the following article helpful:
    If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
    When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
    When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
    Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

  • I have restored my new iphone 5 but everytime i plug it back into iTunes i am asked if i want to set up a new phone. Which i have already done!!

    I have restored my new iphone 5 but everytime i plug it back into iTunes i am asked if i want to set up a new phone or restore it. I have already set it up and tried to restore it again thinking this might help but i still keep getting the same message. The phone is recognised and shows up in devices but i cannpt sync apps or anything to it.

    Have you updated your iTunes on your computer? WIth a device running iOS7, you need iTunes 11.
    When you removed iTUnes, did you see something named 'apple mobile device support' or something like it? (The exact name varies from operating system to operating system). If you see that, uninstall it too. That's the drivers for your iPhone and they should self-install when you plug your device in.
    If all that is fine, have you checked your cable and USB port? a malfunctioning cable can keep you from syncing.

  • I downloaded firefox update had nothing but troubles since comp crashing how do i send my bookmarks from firefox to ie on this system

    i downloaded firefox update, had nothing but troubles since, computer crashing when i try to open, or cursor lag for a long time ie. i try to move to do something it has to think about for 30 seconds to having to pushing reset to get anthing hapening
    but still freezes up i put my comp into a very good repair store cost me $119 to only to find no problem with computer, they had it running ,burning , doing everything properly, but they were using ie, as soon as i stoped that and went to firefox, back to lag etc. com bluescreen then crashing when i got home twice so far tried using previous version in system same problem, how do i send my bookmarks from firefox to ie on this system, so i can completely uninstall then reistall a fresh earlier version

    I have to agree, fixing something that was working fine and replacing it with the new crap has led me to switch browsers.BIG FAIL MOZILLA
    Why do people do this shit.
    Turn off updating to keep your good working version or you will be forced to use the new version that is missing some well used features.

    I am trying to activated a brand new iPhone 4s but the serial number isn't working. Suggestions?

    Are you getting any error message or other data that helps to understand why the SR # is not working?  Sometimes when entering a serial number a letter or number is entered incorrectly because a 1 looks like an l or an s looks like a 5.  Make certain that this type of an entry error is not your problem.

    Howdy.
    I've just purchased a new iPhone 4, but my Mac's version of iTunes won't support it. I need to upgrade iTunes to the latest version. But, alas, when I downloaded it, my Mac won't support it. My Mac's details are; 10.4.11 Processor Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5. I need to get up to 10.5.
    Can I download the higher operating system? If so where from? Or must I buy it from the shops?
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

  • K9A2 Platinum - Nothing but Trouble!!!

    OK, Well I purchased this board today, and from the off, I had constant blue screens, I fixed that by going into SafeMode (with networking enabled) and deleting 2 copys of the file 'AMDLLD64.SYS' from the system files after reading that this was causing the same issues for other people
    and after that I have gotton into my OS fine, but on the odd occation I just get sudden freezes/crashes (the whole OS just pauses on my screen) and sometimes just goes to a black screen and restarts
    and the extra software/utillities that come on the disc dont work properly!
    I had previously owned an MSI board and even then I had nothing but trouble, but after the reviews I deceided to buy another MSI product, But after this, I believe that MSI pays off the reviewers to get a good review :(
    If any of you know a good place to find a guide to loads of workarounds for this board then I will be more than greatful!
    My setup is:
    Windows Vista Ultimate x64
    AMD phenom 9600 Black edition
    Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870
    4GB DDR2 800MHz OCZ Platinum
    MSI Platinum (K9A2)
    Corsair TX750W PSU
    ASUS Xonar D2 (PCI)

    Put XP 32bit on it.
    Vista (and special Vista 64bit) is the most unstable and crappy OS M$ has ever produced.
    I have tried it on several machines, and never got it stable where XP runs like a charm with no bluescreens or lockups ever.
    Vista did BSOD several times a day.
    I've been using Vista x64 with my K9A2 P for months now--no blue screens, no problems whatsoever. Stable as a rock--wouldn't consider using anything else at the moment.
    The fact that this file, AMDLLD64.SYS, was on his system indicates that he, like me, was running a dual-core Athlon prior to installing a Phenom quad core.  I think this file is installed by the AMD dual-core optimizer software that you should *not* be running with a Phenom.  He should uninstall the dual-core optimizer program.  Better yet, he should do a fresh install of Vista x64 and start from scratch.  That's what I did, and my problems went from a few to none at all as a result. 
    We get lazy sometimes when we update our hardware and we really don't want to do a fresh install and start from scratch.  But sometimes it's not only desirable to do so, it's a necessity if you want a stable environment.  Too many settings inside the OS are wrong for the new hardware and that causes the newer hardware problems.  Best advice: do a fresh install of Vista x64--and *don't overclock anything*--at least until you get your system 100% stable, first.
    That way, if overclocking is a problem you'll know exactly what causes it.

  • I can make calls and send text messages on my new iPhone 5, but incoming calls and texts still go to my old (non-Apple) phone. Is this a problem with the phone set up, or is it a problem with my old carrier or my new carrier?

    I can make calls and send texts on my new iPhone 5,  but all incoming calls and texts are received by my old (non-Apple) phone.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • I did an icloud backup on my old 4S with iOS 8.3 and wanted to install on my new iPhone 6 but it only has iOS 8.1.3! Can I do/use the backup after I chose "install as new iPhone"?

    I did an icloud backup on my old 4S with iOS 8.3 and wanted to install on my new iPhone 6 but it only has iOS 8.1.3! Can I do/use the backup after I chose "install as new iPhone"?
    Because I cannot update the software until I chose if I want to begin with a new phone setting or download a backup.
    But the backup is of course not compatible with the old iOS.
    So will it be possible to get the new iPhone going, then do the software update to 8.3 and then download / use the data from
    my 4S icloud backup?

    1. Settings > General > Software Update > Update the  to 8.3
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
    3. Reactivate phone and follow prompts to restore iCloud (or iTunes) backup.
