Updated IPhone 4S to IOS6and it is locked, in "searching" mode. Anyone one with a solution please?
I found this, I can't believe it but it worked.
Connecting to a different USB worked for me! Some USB ports are tied together on the motherboard (I think, not a computer builder) so try plugging in on the other side of your laptop or maybe the back side of your desktop (which is what I had to do, to make Windows download the restore iPhone driver).

Why am I not able to download OS X Mountain Lion Software on my Macbook pro?
If you can catch it once the download is finished, but BEFORE it starts to install (there will be an "OS X Installer" window opening up), then you could make a copy of that installer so you don't have to wait that long again if you need to reinstall for some reason. To do that, quit the Installer and go find it in your Applications folder. Make a copy of it and park it someplace safe (another folder, external disk); then double click the Installer and go ahead - the Installer will self destruct once it's finished.

My iphone 4s stuck in searching mode
Hi
I have iphone 4s ios 5.1.1 stuck in searching mode
i tried removing sim card still says searching , restarting , searching...
can you help ? PleaseYesterday my phone shut off due to a low battery warning - like less than 10%. So as I normally do, I plugged it in to be charged by using my car charger. Anyway, I noticed that my phone was stuck in "Searching..." mode once it finally got enough charge to run.
We called AT&T and they tried to reset network settings - that didn't work. They asked if we had another iPhone 4 on hand to test if my SIM card worked in that device (but no such luck). I also did a manual reset and that did not work either.
I took my phone to the Genius bar today and they tested the SIM card and it was working fine. Then, the guy ran some sort of diagnostic test to look at the logs and he said I had a lot of software corruption messages.
So, long story short, he ended up reinstalling the OS and that resolved the problem.
Now if only I could find my Photo Stream pictures and other data that I backed-up via iCloud....... I digress.
So far my phone works fine. I could have done this myself but instead I wasted an hour of my time at the darn store. 30 minutes of it was spent WAITING even though my appointment was at 2 p.m. and I was on time - I wasn't seen until around 2:30 p.m. - actually it was almost like 2:40 p.m. -
Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. I DO NOT have any back ups on itunes. Is there anyway to get out of recovery mode without restoring or recover data after a restore?
Or any other suggestions please? ThanksAs pdroth said, you should have gotten a backup made when you started the update of iOS. If you cannot find a backup, and the phone is in recovery mode, there are no futher suggestions to make. To get the phone working again you have to restore. You cannot force a backup at this time since it is already in recovery mode. It will not allow anything else but a restore at this point.

my ipod 4g was working fine until i locked the screen but when i tried to turn it back on the screen stays black and its been 3 days. Does anyone know how i could fix this?
- Charge the iPod for half an hour. Then reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- if still not working, connect to your computer. If iTunes sees the iPod, restore the iPod.
- If still problem, place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod. For recovery mod see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore -
My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. This has been happening more and more frequently. Today I was in my pictures and was trying to crop one and my phone shut off completely. Anyone know what's wrong with it or how to fix it?
Make sure all apps are fully closed:
- double tap your home button
- hold your finger on an app
- when the apps start to wiggle press the red "-" button on all the apps
Now do a hard reset:
- hold the home button and the sleeps/wake button down at the same time
- the phone will shut off then when the apple logo ppears release both buttons
If by then your contacts have not been restored you would need to try and retreive them from a back up on itunes/icloud that was made when the contacts were on the phone. You could even stream them from the cloud if they were synced to the cloud. The link beow will show you how to restore from an itunes/icloud back up:

Also to prevent this issue which i have seen alot when users are still running iOS 5 it would be best to update the iOS on your phone. To do this follow the link below:

Hope this helps -
When I go to yahoo with my iPhone 6 the pages will not enlarge when I pinch them but it works on my iPad. Does anyone know what's wrong? Also the same on boyfriends phone he's eith Virgin and I'm with Vodafone do it cant be the providers.
Thanks for the link but none of those described the problem. No error message pops up. It just says "Accessing Itunes Store" but it never actually does. This only occurs when my iPhone is plugged in though.

I am trying to open iTunes on my mac. But a box pops up saying "The folder iTunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permissions for this folder". Anyone know what that means? I've had my computer 2 years and its never had a problem opening it
I've already right-clicked on the application, clicked "get info", and changed it so all people listed in the "Sharing & Permissions" section have the "read & write" privilage.
The error message is referring to your iTunes library, not your iTunes application.
You need to check and fix the permissions of the iTunes folder in your iTunes library. This is by default located in your "Music" folder.
Select the folder Music > iTunes in the Finder, right click on it or Ctrl Click and click "Get Info". At the bottom of the contextual window thatwill pop up, disclose the Sharing and Permissions brick, change your status from Read only to Read & Write. You may need to click the padlock icon to make changes. -
My iPhone 4 just went black all of the sudden. I can't get it to turn back on and the battery wasn't dead. Anyone know what causes this and how to get it back on?

I have updated my apple tv 2nd generation to the latest software but it shows the itunes symbol with the usb. Anyone know why this might be? Thanks
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore. -
HT201205 iPhone 5 is stuck in searching mode. Will not recognize bluetooth device.
How do I get my iPhone 5 to recognize my Jabar bluetooth? It just gets stuck in searching mode.
Turn the phone off and take the SIM out and put it back in. The other possibility is that your SIM is defective.

My iPhone display sometimes getting bigger than normal size. So big sometimes that I can't use it and I must turn it off. Anyone know what happened ?
You most likely have zoom on. Double tap with THREE fingers to turn zoom off, if it is on, then: Settings>General>Accessibility...turn it off for good.
