Please help, I am having a nightmare with upgrading iphone 4

Hello everyone,
My dad asked me to upadte his iphone for him and I just can't get it to work now.
I backed the iphone 4 up on itunes and then ran the update, initially when it had finished it wouldn't allow me to access my wifi so I looked that up and re-enetered the details and that is now working but it keeps asking me to either restore or set up as a new phone, I have restored from itunes while the sync is going through it stayes on a connected to itunes page and then just says connect to itunes so it looks like the restore doesn't work. Itunes seems to be going through the motions on the top bar but I just can't get off these white set up screens. What seems odd is that I disconnected the iphone and then reconnected it and it took me to iphoto and imported photos from the phone so there must be data on it. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Where did you get the phone? Sounds like it may have been hacked to unlock it. If it was originally carrier locked, ONLY the original carrier can authorize unlocking it.  FYI: The Gevey SIM is illegal in every country on the planet.
Hacked and jailbroken devices can NOT be discussed here per the terms of service.

  • Help - I'm having a nightmare with BT

    I have spent so many hours on the phone to BT over the last 3 weeks it is unbelievable.
    I called originally on the 25th Feb to change some things on my account ( I wanted to resign my broadband, cancel off the 4.99 security that I had never used and cancel one of the two lines I have coming into the property and renumber the remaining line to the one that I wanted cancelled).
    Someone ( I have his name) said he would do this for me and then call me back the next day to get the line requests sorted out (as I had to get off the phone as a customer had came in). The next day came and there was no call. I then received a letter that the line I wanted cancelled had been resigned for 5 years! So I called up and tried to speak to the guy from Skelmersdale again, couldnt get to him so someone took the details of my call and created an issue with ref No IMP1182842. The guy called me back 2 days later and we went over the call, he remembered speaking to me and apologised for getting it wrong then said he would get the 5 years taken off and put through the request I asked for with the lines. He said it would take 48 hours or so but he would email me when it had been done. No email came
    I kept checking the line and after 4 days  I realised that nothing had been done. So I call again, can't get to him again, someone takes my details, tells me they can see he is in office and online so they will send him a message. Eventually they say he has responded and he will call me that day. The rep on the phone said he would send me a 2 way text and if the guy from Skelmersdale didnt call back I had to reply to the text and he would chase. No 2 way text arrived so I couldnt get back to him.
    Then I call again, go through the same tedious explanations to a completely new person, Again he sends a message to the guy at Skelmersdale who then calls me that day. I explained that he still hadn't done what he said he would do as both lines were still active and he said that he would physically go up to the team that would do this request and he would make sure it was done within 24 hours this time and he would call me back before the day is out to confirm that it had been done. I received no call back and the line requests werent actioned.
    So I need to call again, speak to someone new, he sends a messgae to this guy and his manager, they guiy said his manager is now dealing with this and that he would be in touch before 1500 that day. This person also says they will send a 2 way text. This text arrives this time. Unsurprisingly, I do not get a call by 1500 so I send a text saying so. I don't get any reply but this was 1500 on Friday just gone so I thought I would give it till Monday as it says 2 hours on the text. on Monday at 1000 I text back again saying I still havent received anything from the manager at Skelmersdale. I have still not had a call back from this 2 way text.
    So I need to call again, through the same process with another new person, they tell me they will take ownership and send a message to the manager asking why he hasn't responded to me. She said she was going to be off on Tuesday but she would call me 1st thing on Wednesday morning to check if he had called. She also said she would send a 2 way text. I told her that this process hadn't worked before but she said there's no reason why it wouldnt work as they use this system all the time and she would call me back regardless on Wednesday anyway (today). I never received the 2 way text from her.
    It is now 1116 and I just can't bring myself to speak to anyone in your company again. The incompetence is staggering. The level of customer care is atrocious and nobody take ownership of problems, they are always passed off elsewhere. I am hoping one of the mods on this site can help because I can't face going through this whole debacle with someone new again.
    I am a small business owner and I shouldnt have to go through all this for a relatively simple request

  • Why does iMessages does not work properly ? Please help me ! Its works better with the previous version if compared with the latest iOS

    Why does iMessages does not work properly ? Please help me ! Its works better with the previous version if compared with the latest iOS

    Many, many thanks for both of you Todd and Rick.
    to Rick:
    I suppose you mean the Color Settings in Project Settings as follows:
    - Working Space: None
    - Match Legacy ... Gamma Adjustments checked ON
    But it does not correct the colors in effects. And checking or unchecking Make Movie/Output Module Settings/Color Management/Profile/Preserve RGB does not make any difference.
    to both of you:
    Those parts of the video image that does not have color effects are just fine. In these parts the color is preserved when reimporting to FCP. However, those parts having color effects (except Levels, as decribed earlier) have altered color results. So, only the parts having effects affecting color are misinterpreted in the image area. The mismatch is of course seen in AE, before making the movie.
    What I ment with "Color Management not working properly" is that (instead of "disabling" it) Color Management does not seem to be able to correct this "misinterpretation" or difference in effect handling between AE 6 and 10.
    So, would you have any solution for this problem?
    Again, many thanks for your fast replies!

  • Please help me creating a new listener with different port#.

    I have two instances in a server. both have different homes. I want to create a seperate listener for the second one i created.
    But that is not happening.
    here i tried to give name from LISTENER TO LISTENER1 & Port# from 1521 to 1524.
    SID_LIST_LISTENER =
    (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
    (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
    (ORACLE_HOME = /apps2/oracle)
    (PROGRAM = extproc)
    LISTENER1 =
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = aixth53)(PORT = 1524))
    When I check lsnrctl status with LISTENER1 , it still shows the other instance home with port#: 1521
    Please help me creating a new listener with different port#.
    Thanks,

    The listener is a broker only and doesn't play any role in normal communications.
    It just forks a process or a thread, and that's it.And the listener is a single point of failure. Listener goes down, you can't connect to the db. That's why you need two listeners.If listener one goes down, then listener two goes down for exact same reason since it is a single executable file.I'm not playing tit-for-tat with you. Fact is, there are situations where people who are not you might want to use more than one listener.Some folks might want to jab a sharp pencil into their eye, too.
    Just because you can do something, it does not necessarily mean it should be done.

    We've seen this bug on machines running IE6 with a certain security patch (I forget its number). There's a thread in the Metalink reports forum about it. It appears to be somewhat tied to another problem where IE runs the report twice (you can see that in Showjobs. You're seeing the problem in 6i; I believe it persists in 9i.
    The workarounds are (1) set Acrobat so it doesn't open within IE or (2) switch to a different browser, like Netscape. For workaround 1, Start Acrobat Reader, Choose File -> Preferences -> General, Uncheck Web Browser Integration
    There's some evidence that it occurs more often with urls that include single quote characters. I think it's worse with XP, but I don't have any proof.
    If you check Adobe's site, you will see this isn't just an Oracle Reports problem. I think we're waiting for Microsoft on this one, so don't hold your breath for a quick fix.

    Have you tried the restart/reset/restore troubleshooting path?  That would be the best initial set of steps to take, particularly in a situation like this.

  • I'm having a trouble with my iPhone iMessage.

    I'm having a trouble with my iPhone iMessage.
    I cannot send any pictures through iMessage only to my friend who's using iPhone4s.
    iMessage without a picture goes well.
    When I used iPhone5, everything worked fine.
    But after I change my phone from 5 to iPhone5s, it's not working well.
    please help me.
    (sending pictures to friends using iPhone5&5s is working fine. It just not works with that friend(who is using 4s) only.)

    Try this on the iPhone 5s go into settings turn iMessage off wait about 60 secs then turn it back on...under iMessage you will see it say waiting for activation...when it changes it will give a message that says iMessage can be sent blah blah blah...after you see that you will see an option that says send and receive ...click that...it should bring you yo a page that say you can be reached by iMessage at you should see you phone number with a check mark..it will be light grey...don't worry about signing into you Apple ID... You only need to do that if you are connecting you iPhone to another device (Mac, iPad, iPod touch) to receive the same iMessages on both...after that go back to the first message settings page again and at the bottom you will see mms messaging turn that off then back on....after that's done..tap you home key and send a test message
    If it still doesn't work follow this http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
