Should I re-attempt installing iOS7 on my iPhone 5?

Hello Everyone,
I am stuck. Please help. My 1st attempt to install iOS7 was unsuccessful, my phone went into recovery mode. I wasnt able to restore it back as well as it threw error 9. I had to restore it from a local store and now its running iOS 6.1.4. I figured out that I didnot have iTunes 11.1 and I had done the update OTA. Now, I have updated my iTunes and it correctly shows latest version to be iOS7. I have downloaded the latest version, but I am in a fix. I am not sure if I should attempt to update my phone again. Given that the first attempt failed and phone went into recovery mode. Please help.

  • After installing ios7 on my iphone 4, bluetooth is not pairing with my bluetooth car speaker.  I have restored settings.  Any tips?

    Can anyone help/  After installing ios7 on the iphone 4, I cannot connect bluetooth on the phone with my bluetooth car speaker.  It worked before ios7.  I have restored my phone but it is still not working.

    Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. This will not affect data. Remove the car speakers from the phone under Bluetooth, and remove the phone from the car stereo. After that place both devices back into pairing mode and reconnect.

  • I just installed ios7 on my iPhone 4s.  It seems to be working fine but all of the apps I had previously installed are gone.  They show up in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts are gone.  Does anyone know how to get the shortcuts back?  Thanks!

    I updated via my iPhone 4s.  The apps were on my iPhone 4s.  That's all the information that I have.  The update to ios7 seems to have gone smoothly - everything else is working, phone texting, email, internet, etc.  But all of the apps I had installed over the past year are no longer showing up as shortcuts.  No facebook, no twitter, no espn, etc.  They are all still listed in my app store as purchased, but the shortcuts and my folders are gone.  Thanks.

  • I installed iOS7 on my iPhone and it switched my carrier

    I installed iOS7 on my iPhone and it switched my carrier, I originally had an iPhone4 for Virgin Mobile then it switched to Verizon. I don't know if the apple store will be able to fix it, but i can't use my phone and there is no carrier next to the bars, only in settings can I see that it says Verizon. I'm flustered and need help.

    Try these troubleshooting steps from this article out:
    iPhone: Troubleshooting a cellular data connection
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3780
    Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.
    Restart your iPhone.
    Ensure that your software is up to date:
    Check for a Carrier Settings Update. Tap Settings > General > About.
    Check for an iOS Software Update. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
    Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
    Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
    If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try toggling it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
    Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still does not, contact your carrierto report the issue.
    Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Restore the iPhone as new.
    Contact your carrier to:
    Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
    Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
    Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.

  • I installed IOS7 on my Iphone 4, but after that the frontal camera didn't work, somebody knows why?

    I'd installed IOS7 on my Iphone 4, but after that the frontal camera didn't work, somebody knows why?

    DO NOT restore all settings!!!!  This will require you to call and reactive your services, rendering your phone a useless brick!  You will lose all contacts, photos, etc...  You need to restore your phone to its last back up.  Then do the update on your computer.  This will resolve your issues.

  • HT4528 Just installed iOS7 on my iphone 4.  How do you close your apps, so they do not run battery down so fast?

    Just installed iOS7 on my iphone 4.  Everything is completely different....  How do I close open apps at the end of the day, so the battery does not run down as fast? It was very easy before, but doesn't work the same way now.  Help

    Thank you for your assistance.  I watched the tutorial and it also helped me.  I am sure there will be a lot of questions in the future as many of us update.  So far all my apps seem to be working fine, so I am fine with it.  This too could change.  Thanks for your help.

  • I need 2.9 GB space to install ios7 on my iPhone 4 which I can get from my Photos

    Can I delete pictures from my photos & camera file on my iPhone4 and not permanently delete these
    from my iphoto library on my laptop?  The reason I want to do this is to increase my iphone4 storage space
    needed to install ios7.  Please help.

    Absolutely.  Transfer the pictures to your iPhoto library.  Deleting them from the iPhone will not affect your iPhoto library on your computer at all.  The whole intent of an iOS device camera is that you should be regularly transfering things to your computer anyway, as that is your primary photo storage.

  • After installing iOS7 to my iphone 4, I can no longer skip to the next song using BTA in my Honda Civic.

    Says it all. I upgraded to IOS7 and now my iphone, which has always been able to skip to the next song using wireless bluetooth. I can't use it on my steering wheel or the controls above the heating/cooling/CD drive. Nothing. I have to unlock my iphone and manually change the song in the music app, no other way. I drive a 2013 Honda Civic... is there any solution to this? Everything was fine until today... I can still call people through my car, it's JUST the music part that is affected. Only the change/skip song functions. It's really bizarre..  any solutions?

    I think the developer havent made it compatible with ios7 for iPhone. Goto App store and search for that App. you will have an option to contact developer or report an issue. Good Luck

  • I am not able to install IOS7 in my iPhone 5!!

    Having downloaded iOS 7, I am not able to install it, it always throws an error saying "Verification failed because you are no longer connected to internet" in spite of High Speed internet at office! I tried several times!

    I haven't tried it before, but Blueme is the most searched. For me, is useless to share information by bluetooth, it is a mess to share...
    I am sharing protos by chat apps. Music and ringtones I just download them from internet and sync with iTunes. If some friend want a music of mine, I just tell him the title and/or band and he download by himself...
    Sorry I haven't a good solution as you are expecting...

  • IPhone 4s email sending no longer works after installing ios7

    Installed ios7 on my iPhone 4s and now email is completely fouled up. I have deleted all accounts and reset them, have turned off and restarted my phone severeal times, Oddly enough I can receive email, but when I try to answer I get the message "Cannot send mail - the recipient was rejected by the server". I have checked all of my settings and they are correct (use the same settings on my computer and iPad, which work fine).  Same problem when I try to move messages to trash - I get the message "Unable to move message".

    Try switching the "Block cookies" setting in Safari from "Always" to "From third parties and advertisers" and then reboot.  This worked for me without having to reload iOS7 or reset all settings. Good luck. 

  • Battery drain after installing IOS7 on Iphone 4

    Hi
    I have recently installed IOS7 on my IPhone 4.
    The battery drains really quickly even when I am not doing anything with the phone. I never had these problem before updating.
    Suggestions please???
    Thanks

    I have also noticed what appears to be decreased battery life after the upgrade, though not this bad.  Seems many people are noticing problems. 
    I noticed and changed a couple of settings that seem to have helped.
    - first, fully shut off the phone and then turn it back on - i read online this helped some, immediately after the update.
    - in mail settings, for the icloud account (I dont use this but it was configured by default) check the sync settings . it defaults to push, which takes more power.  you might want to disable push and set to fetch for this and any other accounts you have, for additional power savings
    - in settings, location services, scroll to the bottom and tap system services : All of them are defaulted to on.  I turned off location-based iads and setting time zone since i dont need those. (I also opted out of the diagnostics and usage as part of the setup, but it was set to on in this screen - i left it on for the time)
    - also in settings -- location settings:  check the list of apps and verify that only the ones you want, are enabled
    These few settings seem to have improved things
