Update to 5.1 problems-unresponsive and only shows the sync screen.

I tried updating my iTouch to 5.1 today. As it tried installing, iTunes said that there was a problem installing the update to my iTouch. Now it shows the picture containing a USB cable that points to iTunes (basically the syncing picture). However, that is all it will show. I have tried restarting and resetting! I have tried syncing as well! Yet my iTouch shows the same picture and iTunes wont read my iTouch.

I would love if it does happen like that. However, from what I am reading, it seems that my iPod Touch has gone into recovery mode and may be completely bricked. Hoping something happens as I sleep tonight or I will be calling Apple tomorrow trying to get this solved.

  • TS4123 This is not correct solution. I have fresh copy of Windows 7 64 bit and I have the same problem.  Autorun only shows the Bonjour service.  It started when try to sync more than one iphone.

    This is not correct solution. I have fresh/new copy of Windows 7 64 bit and I have the same problem. 
    Autorun only shows the Apple Bonjour service.  It started when try to sync more than one iphone over WiFi. I have two iphones and an iPad. I turned off syncing over WiFi and still has high CPU utilization. One of the CPU's is pegged at 100%.  It is the AppleMobileDeviceService.exe process.

    For the record, I then followed the suggestion of MarcDCMB in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4291206 of just manually restarting the Apple Mobile Device service in Windows services.msc once each time after starting iTunes and the service no longer hogs CPU after that service restart.  Not too painful as a work-around, and apparently an effective one, but clearly not a solution to the problem.  Again, as above, all the other solutions didn't work for me and I have no conflicting software as far as I can tell. So you'd have to say this Apple's problem.
    Also FTR, I am still on the 5.2.0.6 version of the Apple Mobile Device Support MSI and I don't know if that is relevant to this work-around working but my sense is that it is NOT relevant.  I'll report back on this thread if I re-upgrade and the problem returns in spite of the service-restart approach.

  • While updating software of Ipad, it stop working and only shows the Apple on screen. How can I recover?

    While I was updating the software of my IPad, it stopped working and only shows the apple logo. How can I recover my IPad?

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • How can I send a copy of my Keynote Presentation to someone else so that it will include my slide notes (uploading it to iWork seems to exclude my notes and only shows the slides). A quick response would be greatly appreciated!

    I'd try Dropbox (http://www.dropbox.com/), which you and your recipient both have to have. It's easy, and the free version would probably be enough. There are any number of other services available for emailing large files (google that). Of course, your recipient must have KN installed to be able to view it correctly, or can view it in PP, but with some loss, primarily transitions/animations.

  • IPad freeze up and appear to be dead and only show a black screen

    My iPad2 freeze up and appear to be dead and only show a black screen, why is it so?

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. It happens occasionally judging by the posts on here, but only once so far to me.

  • I don't know what's wrong with my 3GS. It only shows the black screen with white apple. Turning it on then off doesn't help.

    I don't know what's wrong with my 3GS. It only shows the black screen with white apple. Home button and turning the phone off then on doesn't seem to do anything.

    Thanks Lucas,
    I've tried doing that with no results. Same screen keeps showing. Maybe it'd be more helpful if I told you a bit more info.  My phone was randomly playing music, and the voice control would also suddenly start without me touching the phone.  Then I let the battery die and started to recharge when on the screen it indicated to plug into my computer/iTunes, I tried to restore but was getting an error message (can't remember what it said now). Battery died and now my current issue of the black screen with white apple.  I'd love to be able to restore my phone but now its not showing as a device on my iTunes. HELP! Any other suggestions?

  • I was attempting to upgrade and now my iPhone 3GS will only show the iTunes screen and I can't use it.

    I used the methods listed on the forum to upgrade my iPhone 3GS 5.0.1 to 5.1 and it appeared to be downloading through itunes but I got an error message when it was done downloading and attempting to upgrade.  Now the iphone won't even let me use it.  It only has the iTunes screen on it and doesn't do anything else.  Help!!!!

    If your iPhone had been in use before, it sopunds like it has reset itself.
    If not, that you must connect it to your computer with the USB cable and set it up with iTunes.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Try a reset. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
