Upgrade of my Iphone has killed my 3G
My mac told me to update my iphone. Since I did that my phone has been dead. It just shows the apple and an upload bar.
Itunes wont recognize my phone or anything.
What do I do?
Plug it into iTunes whilst holding the home button. Keep holding the button until it reaches recovery mode... may take up to 5 minutes of holding.

My iPhone has killed four pairs of earbuds
Four times now since I got my iPhone in mid-July, my earbuds have gone bad on one side. The first two times it sounded like a tweeter (i.e. high pitched frequencies sounded "crunchy"), then a woofer (low sounds sounded crunchy), and now it is sort of a weird buzz, which is different than either of the past two.
Every time so far I just brought them in to the apple store and they gave me a new pair without problems. This last pair lasted less than a week.
I definitely do not listen to music at loud volumes -- I am not into that at all. I have no idea what is going on. It seems crazy to me that the phone/earbud combination would be designed in a way that the phone could even put out enough volume to damage the earbuds (if that is in fact the cause).
Anyway, has this been happening to anybody else? Could there conceivably be something wrong with the phone itself, or is this par for the course?I haven't experienced the same - still using the original set included with my iPhone purchased on 6/29 which work great and based on the number of posts here regarding this which have been few and far between, I don't believe this is par for the course and shouldn't be nor do I believe your iPhone has killed anything. I think you've experienced some bad luck getting a bad earbud set one after the other which doesn't seem likely and should not happen but certainly possible.
Keep making Apple replace your earbuds until you get a set that doesn't fail and/or try a loaner iPhone (should be at no charge in this situation) with a new earbud set. If this works without issue with the loaner iPhone for a week or so and then fail just after being used with your iPhone, this will indicate the problem is with your iPhone and will be repaired or replaced under warranty. -
Since I upgraded to IOS8, iphone has changed the way it calls via car bluetooth. Before (IOS8) once I hit 'call' it was transfer to car speakers and i would hear dial tone until answer. Now, call will only transfer to speakers once call is answered. This is very incovenient as I never know if my call is going through, and sometimes when call isn't answered immediately I have to look at my phone to cancel the call. Is there a new setting I am missing?
Sometimes you turn off your Bluetooth and then back on and it doesn't reconnect with your phone unless you go into the menu. Either way doesn't help much if someone calls you while you're driving and you realize your iPhone is stuck on headphone input.

Upgrade to Snow Leopard has killed wifi usability
Upgraded to Snow Leopard a couple of days ago and it has significantly impacted my ability to use WiFi, tried on 3 different networks; 2 personal and one carrier and I am either unable to connect or the connection falls out after a few minutes, and when it works the speed is significantly regraded.
Prior to the upgrade I've never had a problem on these or any other wifi networks. Have tried all the proposed solutions I've found on the discussion forum but nothing seems to permanently resolve the issue.
Looking for some new suggestions or a solution from Apple. Being tethered via an ethernet cable seems so old school!I seem to be having a similar problem but the only option I have is automatic channel selection.
I have a mini with a quickertek nCard in it running at 5 Ghz. Under Leopard I could move it downstairs and everything works great. As soon as I upgraded to Snow Leopard it would no longer work downstairs (signal shows full strength though) but will still work upstairs. Something in Snow Leopard is interfering with performance of the 5Ghz band at a distance. Very frustrating. My only option now is to get the latest Airport Extreme and hope it does better because of its 802.11n at a distance improvements. -
I recently changed my Apple ID and password. Although I thought I was changing my iCloud email which I just learned cannot be changed. I am in the middle of an ugly separation. I just upgraded my old iPhone 4 to a 5s. I have an I pad also. My first completely idiotic thing I did was try to restore my old iPhone 4 in a hurry and I accidently restored it to an earlier day which alone has caused more problems than I care to address. He has access now to all my emails. I wanted to change my iCloud email account since it's been terribly compromised but I can't. And I was very confused when I just tried to log onto my iCloud email and it says his name. I just changed it manually on my iphone5s. But when I try to log on it says I have the wrong password. Tried changing it but it tells me to log onto my Apple ID account and I'm just so confused and I need to wipe that device clean somehow. Please help
I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot! -
hi - i have recently upgraded to an iphone and find that when i open my MS Outlook on my computer, the emails that were on the iphone get wiped out. Has anyone got a solution to this problem? I'm sure it's very simple when you know the answer! Thanks.
Pay no attention to iinami, the amount of replies to people saying their handsets must have been jailbroken everytime iTunes throws out an error is tremendous. (Clearly you don't need to have any real knowledge to get to level 3 on these forums, let's hope apple's geniuses know a lot more than some of their customers.)

Solution below.
Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software. -
please help! i have just upgraded to an iphone 5 for work, so i have started to backup my iphone 4 but it is stuck on 'finishing sync' and has been for 20hours!what can i do?i need it for work tomorrow
Is this what you downloaded: iTunes 10.7?
When the update fails what if any error report do you get, specifically? Please do this before trying again:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X. -
Recently I erased an iPhone 3 so that it could be passed on and used by someone else, using the erase all content and settings feature. This has killed my iPhone and it is now stuck on the Apple logo. I have tried a restore in iTunes but recovery fails. This is not a jailbroken iPhone. Anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?
If you haven't already tried, see if you can force it into recovery mode to restore it:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808. If that doesn't work, the last thing you can try is to put it in DFU mode to restore it: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2648467?threadID=2648467&tstart=0. -
HT4623 iOS upgrade has killed my iPad, it won't start anymore.
I just accepted the iOS 7.0.2 upgrade and my iPad has died. All I get is an iTunes logo mid screen with plug/lead graphic and an arrow pointing to the logo.
I've tried all the buttons and even tried a reset, holding both down for 10 seconds, but it's as dead as a Dodo. I'm really wishing I hadn't agreed to this upgrade, can anyone help please?I know the symbol means it's required for the upgrade to complete it needs to be hooked into iTunes to have it send off information. The computer must be connected to the internet and upon seeing that symbol the iPad has to be connected to the computer. If that doesn't work what I was honestly do is set the iPad down and let it kill its own battery and then the next day plug it in to the computer and listen to it for the sound of a connected device and let it power itself on. If those don't work then you will have to take it to an Apple Store to have it unlocked.
@Custom17 I would have been able to answer that for you, or at least give you the same answer they're going to give you. The reason it "jumps" all over the place has to do with the spatial effects built into the iOS. When the lockscreen is on and you tilt the phone you should see the lockscreen moving (I found the factory "Starry Sky" lock screen is the best example of this. The operating system works with layers building on it so it can manage the different applications going, think wedding cake, so something happening in the background or a wallpaper that doesn't agree with the OS is going to cause little jerks like that. The black square can also be attributed to this, and both issues should be fixed quickly we all hope. -
Hey, constantly since I installed the iOS 7.1 upgrade, my iPhone has been constantly shutting down and I think it's really frustrating and I whant to know how I can stop my iPhone from shutting down so I can downgrade to iOS 7.0.4?
7.1.1 is certainly compatible with the iPhone 4. Just try a reset first.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss) -
Music on my iPhone has become very difficult to edit since upgrading to 5.0.1. If I simply want to delete some songs, it insists on a complete sync cycle after EACH one I delete. This is so annoying… (I have over 400 Christmas songs I won't need until next year) I have also noticed it randomly keeps updating album artwork…adding more time to each sync. Is there some way I can turn off the syncing until I have picked and deleted all the songs I want?
The cause was probably a USB glitch during a sync or when copying. The music resides on the phone in separate files. A master file contains a database with an index to the music, an entry for each track and a "pointer" to the file containing the track. Somehow the index got corrupted with duplicate entries. It's likely that the music itself wasn't duplicated, but some tracks had more than one entry in the database. I've seen this happen when syncing (rather than manually managing) also. In my case deleting the track from the Music tab in iTunes, syncing, then adding it back fixed it.
A related problem I've seen is an album may be split, with some tracks in each of 2 or more album entries in the listing. Fixed the same way. -

The software on the iPhone has expired and must be upgraded to a newer version
Been using my iPhone 4 for days with iOS 5. Got off a call and not it wants be to reactivate for some reason. so I go to iTunes to reactivate. It says the "The software on the iPhone has expired and must be upgraded to a newer version" so I click the update button in iTunes and it says it's up to date but still can't activate. HELP!!!!!
That's because you put a Beta version of iOS 5.0 on your phone. All the iOS 5.0 betas have expired. You'll have to restore your phone in iTunes to re-activate it.

My iPhone has not completed the iOS 7.1.2 upgrade after 1 hour
My iPhone has not completed the iOS 7.1.2 upgrade after 1 hour. How do I proceed.
Hey stcyrrh1,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are having trouble updating the iOS device. You can use recovery mode if you can't update or restore your iOS device.
