Update caused my iPhone 3G to lose 12 GByte of memory.
Hi, I just updated my iPhone 3G (16GB) with 3.0.1. It was a nightmare and it kept failing and I finally got it restored but iTunes thinks it has only 4GB now instead of 16. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
They should be in the iTunes library on your computer. You should be able to sync them back. It sounds like the update/restore/re-sync was not complete when you disconnected your phone.
If The apps are not in your library, you can re-download them using the same Apple ID you initially used to purchase them without being charged again.

Itunes had an error and shutdown while updating my iphone 4. Itune tells me my phone is in recovery mode and I must use restore before im able to use itunes. I cannot do anything on my phone now. It shows icons telling me to connect to itunes. I want to know if I restore my phone do I lose any photos and that were not backed up yet? or What happens to my contacts and phone numbers?

All the sudden, as i've read many other's have experienced, I can no longer connect to wifi in my own house with my iphone4s. Nothing goes to the cloud. No matter what I've tried to fix it, nothing. Any idea when Apple is going to get their act together and get another update to fix the last update???? Anyone have any luck fixing this - it's not a wifi problem. It's an Apple issue, it was introduced to the device on their last update - what in the world are we supposed to do to fix it?
I've been on the new IOS since it was released, and have no problems with wifi.

Please help me, I am verging on desperation! I am flying tomorrow, so I was only trying to add some music to my iPhone.
During the process, connected to the latest version of iTunes for Windows, I was asked a seemingly innocent question-- would you like to
update your iTunes for iPhone? If only I could go back and ignore this question,
But no, I am now stuck in purgatory-- no use of iPhone, at al! -- the upgrade FAILED. Perhaps because I'm in Asia? At any rate,
I was told that I needed to reformat my phone to factory settings (losing all data!) That was the info on the pc. My phone would ONLY display
a phone cord pointing to iTunes (beckoning to connect), but I was connected to the pc already. So I had to click to reformat.
There was no other option, I browsed tha forums, was semi-assured that iCloud would help back me up. I heard about iTools,
but that also proved a dead end. My phone ended up in this grey screen, where choices are limited. They originally asked if I wanted to connect
with iTunes, but I chose WIFI. I tried many times to "activate" the phone this way, and it always fails. ( I wanted to try activating through
iTunes, but I can't go back to that original option. At times "Connect with iTunes" is only very briefly shown, but disappers before I can select
it.)
Every time I'm left with the message "Your iPhone (failed) bec. the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting phone to iTunes"
But HOW?Why did you disconnect it?
You will have to restore it.
Your data is gone if you failed to make sure it was on your computer before updating, as you always should you. -
IOS 5.1 update causes my iPhone 4 to reboot in multiple applications
Ever since the 5.1 update, my iPhone 4 reboots in the middle of trivial tasks (Messaging, for example). I performed a reset, and it rebooted when i tried to put in my passcode.
I thought that I had bricked my phone as well when I upgraded my iPhone 4s to iOS 5.1 but I just fixed it last night after 3 hours of trying everything. My phone was stuck in recovery mode and had the icon telling me to plug it into iTunes, but iTunes didn't recognize my phone at all. I tried everything from uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, but still nothing worked. I tried changing the USB port that I plugged my iPhone into and THAT is what worked. I have no idea why, but my computer finally recognized my phone, but had to be restored. Luckily I had a very recent backup so restoring it wasn't so painful.
Try changing the USB port where you plug in your phone on your computer; hopefully that works for you! -
Really frustrating experience given how much we rely on our phones.
If I plug it into a wall outlet, the phone complaints about "Incompatible accessory", but begins charging. The problem is clearly at the software level, as the charge rate is noticeably slower.

I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. I have authorized this new computer so I don't know what the problem is. I can't get on my old computer with my itunes account because the computer is broken. Not sure what to do
"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one. -
I just did an update on my iphone 4s, I think it was for the iOS 5.0.1. Afterwards it restarted and my screen was froze with the itunes logo and usb cord thingy.
When I connected it to iTunes it says iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. And that I must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.
What should I do? I am afraid I will lose all my contacts, music, photos, etc.... PLEASE HELP!
thank you!
CarolIf it's in recovery mode (iTunes logo and USB cable on the screen) then there is nothing on the phone to lose. Everything that was on it is already gone. If you've been backing up on a regular basis and syncing your contacts to a supported cloud service or contact manager, you should simply be able to restore it.

You have already lost it at this stage
but you have a backup of course -
I was in the middle of the latest update and my iPhone now says it needs to restored will I be able to back it up first. I have photos on it I can NOT lose
It should have backed up automatically at the start of the update process. And you should be saving photos from your phone to your computer regularly, just like you would with any digital camera. If you were not doing this you MAY lose the photos, but if your backup at the start of the update was successful you will not. Just DO NOT sync after the update, until you have restore the backup and verified that it is OK.
What error message did you get during the update? Before you restore do the following:
Reboot your computer
Connect to a USB port on the computer directly, not a hub
disable your antivirus and firewall
Launch iTunes
Finally, connect the phone and restore. -

Hi,
Two recent updates for my iPhone have caused crashes (down the white lead) via iTunes.
I have "fixed" but I don't know the cause?
Each time the update does n't complete.
The download does n't happen.
The computer & internet connection are good.
It is as if the Apple server does n't complete?
The phone stays in recovery mode, until you reset and rebuild in iTunes.
All software is up to date, but I can't find the cause
ANY IDEAS?
Regards,
P.
<Email Edited by Host>No error messages.
It just fails to complete the download, so recovery mode is the next step.
This can be over a period of eight hours or more!
I have so many (original) Apple USB leads that I would n't know if I have been using the same one (if it was faulty).
Does this sound like a "common" problem? -

Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.
If your backup drive/disks were stolen as well, then:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
HT4236 So if I update my iphone, I will lose all of my photos, apps and music on my phone?
So if i update my iphone, I will lose all of my photos, apps and music..correct? None of these things are saved on my computer [except some of the music]...
You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would any digital camera. this is covered in the manual.
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
You should transfer all itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer: File>Transfer Purchases.
