Updating to iOS 6 Bricked my device!!
I tried to update to ios 6 from ios5.In the middle it showed error 23 and my device stuck in DFU or Recovery mode. I tried everything wrote on apple support uninstall security softwares, chage USB port etc. Then I Tried to restore to iOS 5 but then it showed The device is't eligible for the requested build .Then again I tried to RESTORE to iOS 6 it showed error 26 but when I looked at my device it was at the iOS 6 startup it shows "Update Completed The iphone was updated successfully. There are just few more steps to follow. Then you've finished!. Then I pressed continue & it shows the same picture as in recovery mode "Connect to itunes". When I connect it to itunes it shows " iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone “RS BUTTAR”. Go to the Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings." The same error if restore(26).
What to do
Product iPhone 4,iOS 6
My warranty is expired and I imported this iPhone from Australia so no chance of getting it replaced.

I've updated to iOS 7 on various devices but non of them will play videos that I've uploaded to shared photo streams. They play on the device I've uploaded them with but not on any of my other devices on anybody I've shared with.
You would lose photo stream photos older than 30 days from your my photo stream folder. Tto keep them save them to the camera roll first. To do this in iOS 7, open your my photo stream alburm, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon on the lower left, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
The photo streams from others should reappear when you turn it back on. Worst case, the owners of the shared photo streams would have to re-invite you. -
Please help. I have updated to the IOS 7 and there was a cool feature in the Music app wherein when you view an album artist, i think apple updates the picture of that artist from their gallery. But when I decided to restore to factory defaults, it never came back and only uses the picture from the albums.
I have the same problem. After a full restore my iphone 5 does not display the artist photos, but it does show the correct album covers once i go into that group. Instead i get a grey box with diagonal writing saying the band name but no picture.

Hi my iphone 5 is bricked in recovery mode while updating from ios 7 to 7.0.4 and every time when i try to restore 'Unknoown error 12' pops up each time.iphone was not jailbroken. please help
From the article that your statement was posted from:
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 alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020. -
First off, i think it's sad that i have to use my non apple device to post this question... Why has my iPad become absolutely useless after updating to iOS 8.1? I am unable to use my mini because it crashes, slow performance, major battery drain.
Restore iPad to Factory Default; do not restore from backup. It may be the cause of the problem.

How can I create a new recovery key if you automatically removed my trusted device after update do iOS 8?
Hey -
I need to do the EXACT same thing, but have no idea how. Has anyone out there done this?
My situation is a tad different..this is a new Mac (and I'm a brand new Mac user). Tons of querks occur under my original account (videos won't run, Safari won't support certain plug-ins). I spent 6 hours on the phone w/ 4 different Apple Reps and nobody could fix it. A rep finally looked at my MacBook Pro in person today. He created a new account just to see if that would work and under that new account, everything works perfectly fine (no querks, can view video). He tried switching a million settings in my original account to no avail.
He said to create a new account (as he did) and move my files over to the new account and then go back to the original and delete it. How do you do this?! I can't figure it out! I've got a new account created, but of course it just has the default folders in it w/ the little red icons next to them! Thanks in advance! -
I have an iPad 1 that is currently showing software updated at version 5.1.1. Is it possible to update to iOS version 7 on this device? My goal is to get Garage Band on this device and the app store is telling me I need iOS version 7.
Hi,
If you really need to upgrade you can save a bit of money and get an older version than the ipad Air.
First, you can sell your ipad 1 to places like gazelle.com, cashforyourmac.com, sellyour mac.com, or many others out there. The sites I listed give you cash. At this point gazelle.com is giving $70.00 for any ipad 1 in 'good' condition. And cashforyourmac will give you $25.00 over what gazelle.com or sellyourmac.com offers you. Shipping is free.
Then, with that money, go the the Apple online certified refurbished store. As an example, a new 64gb Air costs $699.00. A refurbed 4th gen 64gb costs $529.00 and a 3rd gen 64gb costs $499.00. Personally, I'd skip the 3rd gen. So if you buy a 4th gen 64gb at $529.00 minus what you can get from a sale to above, you can get an ipad 4 64gb for just over $430.00, a savings of savings of about $270.00. (A new 32gb Air is $599.00, a 4th gen 32gb is $449.00, and a 3rd gen 32gb is not on the site right now.) Google it and check if you can get better offers anywhere else. But getting one from the Apple refurb store gives you an essentially new ipad and using the above sites, you're not locked in with a particular site which will give you a gift card and restrict you to their store/site.
Each Apple refurbished ipad (any version) comes with a new front and back cover, a brand new battery, same return policy, and a full one year warranty with 90 days of phone support. Each comes in a white box like a new ipad with the wall charger and usb cable. The only difference is that it says in small print on the bottom of the box that it is Apple certified refurbished. Also, if you buy refurbs, be sure to check the store many times a day. They can come and go quickly, so when you see what you want, buy it right away. Shipping is free and pretty fast. (We bought two a year and a half ago and they have been great!)
Hope this helps. -

Am facing issue on my iphone 5s after updating to ios 7.1.1, every while the phone hang after lock it and cannot unlock and even cannot turn on the screen this is so annoying, kindly advice if i have to go back to the store as device still under warranty, and if its a hardware issue or software ??
Hello HaithamOkeely,
We've an article that provides the following troubleshooting steps that may help stabilize your iPhone.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

Has anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find AT&T, my provider. I swapped SIM cards with another iPhone 4 running ios 4 and established this is a device problem, not a SIM card problem.
Does the device get any signal?
Sounds like the device may have had a hardware failure. If it is out of warranty, the only option is the Out of Warranty replacement.
AppleCare is only an option if it is still under the original warranty. -
Is anybody else still not able to use the App Store? I can't download nor update any apps. I have an IPhone 5 device not currently updated to iOS 7 as my partner also has an iPhone 5 running iOS 7 and it seems to have some issues at the moment.

My iphone 4s will not update to ios 7. I'm trying to update this through my imac because the iphone will also not connect to my home wifi. I've tried several different things but nothing is working. I deleted enough pics and apps so there is enough storage. When i plug it in, it starts to bring all my photos to the imac. I cancel this because i don't want it. It then says extracting software, backing up iphone, then i get the error message. Do I need the iphone 5?
I just tried again, no code comes up on the imac. Just says cannot back up this device with my "initials" because of an error. It's weird because my iphone has been connected to othert wifi sources in the past. I've looked through these forums and have tried multiple things like resetting the phone, resetting network, shutting off modem and router, nothing works. I have an apple airport extreme router too. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I have an Iphone 4S and It won't let me watch videos on my safari, which I do everyday. It says that I am connectef to a tv, yet I have not connected it to a tv during the entire time i've owned this product. I have not connected it to anything bluetooth either. It plays the sound through the device, but it will not play the video at all. the update is IOS 6.1.3
Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer
