Tried to update, now comp/itunes wont see phone which only has cable and itunes showing

Hi,  I tried to update iphone to new update,  I updated itunes first but when I tried to update the phone I got unknown error (code was 1604 i think)  first had phone in dock so tried again and the third time I went to try with the original cable but Itunes/my computer wont see it.  the screen has a picture of the usb cable with arrow pointing to Itunes logo.   I have tried the Apple help which included reset (both buttons 10 seconds)  using different usb port and others from general help.
Can anyone help get the basic operating system back onto the phone please.

  • Itunes 10.5.2x64 cannot install on winidows7 laptop.10.5.1x64 worked ok , tried to update now nothing, itunes will just not re-install , any help please!!

    Cannot get itunes 10.5.2x64 to install at all, 10.5.1x64 worked ok  on my Vaio win7 laptop.The update totally screwed everything,
    all I get is "the installer encountered errors before itunes could be configured.errors occured during installation.your system has not been modified."
    Any help please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Praise God - I found the solution after hours of work: (1) Uninstall all Apple programs (itunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, .....); (2) Go to "Common Files" and delete all Apple files - this might be difficult for some are locked from you - you may have to change the "Owner" of the file in order to delete it - if that doesn't work "Rename the Apple Follder to something like Apple Old - that's like deleting it.  Then download 10.5 from Apple and away you go - yippee.

    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

    When trying to update  Apps in iTunes on my computer my old Apple ID appears, which is no longer in use and has no password; even when I try to create a password for this Old ID, Apple won't let me. When I go into see my Account settings My new Apple ID / iTunes ID are listed and the passwords are correct obviously so why can't I update my Apps?   Why does my Old apple ID keep appearing and how can I get Apple to change this?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • Can I recover photos on iPhone 4S not backed up on iCloud or computer when connect to iTunes error shows up on screen. Was trying to update now it must go to restore.HELP!

    Can I recover photos on iPhone 4S not backed up on iCloud or computer when connect to iTunes error shows up on screen? My son was trying to update now it must go to restore. HELP!

    If there is no backup of the device to iCloud or iTunes and the device has gone into recovery mode when trying to update, then the data is gone. If the device was connected to iTunes to do the update originally, it is possible the default backup was done, unless your son disabled it. To check to see if there is a backup, go in iTunes, click on Edit, Preferences, Devices and see if there is a backup listed for the date/time before the update was started. If he was doing the update OTA on the phone, then there is no backup. No backup, no photos.

    my phone wil not turn on after trying to update now all it de si tell me to plug into itunes which i have ready done and still nothing happens can you help

    Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time.

  • Tried to update, now in recovery mode don't want to lose photos

    Tried to update ipod touch through settings... went back to check and ipod has an apple with a usb cord, connected to pc and
    message says in recovery mode... I know from past experience, all the photos will be gone if I continue to restore from recovery
    mode.   Does anyone know how I can save my photos??    The  same thing happened with my other daughter's ipod --- this is
    so frustrating -- what's the point of updates -- to fix bugs   NO to mess up the ipods!!!!!!!!!    Try telling your 8 and 10 year old,
    all your pictures are lost now.    It's not a very pleasant reaction.   AND I can't blame them.  So I won't be updating my other 3
    daughter's ipods.... no more updates in this household!!!!!!

    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    - Maybe via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

    So, i cannot make restore my iphone 6+. And then, I cann't erase "device" in icloud.
    My iphone is new. No icloud. didn't connect to itune backage.
    That's why I try to connect iTunes but it need to enter passcode.
    So, my iphone just keep "iphone is disbled-connect to iTunes".

    Im trying to update my apps from the ipad in the app store section and when i press update the ipad tells me that im not connected to the itunes store??

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Trying to update to latest Itunes. Get almost through the installation and get a message that old version of Itunes cannot be removed, contact local support group. What is up?

    trying to update to latest Itunes. Get almost through the installation and get a message that old version of Itunes cannot be removed, contact local support group. What is up?

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
