Upgraded to new phone, Original Phone will not initalize.

I upgraded to the new phone, works great. I erased the data on the old phone (original iPhone) and now want to give it to my kid to use as an IPOD. I can't get it past the Apple Logo Screen.
Hooked it up to iTunes... doesn't recognize it.
Now I'm stumped.

OK, I got mine to work by following the directions in this post from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Connect the USB cable to a computer and, while holding down the home key on the phone, connect the cable to the phone. When iTunes recognizes the phone, it will ask if you want to restore the software.
The only hitch I had here was when it went to do the restore, it had to download the software and that took a while. In the meantime, the phone shut down and I had to go through the procedure again. It didn't respond every time, so be patient.

  • HT4623 I have a iphone 4s.  I let it upgrade to new OS.  It will not get past the icloud terms and conditions.  I've view them and agreed many times.  It will not proceed.  What do I need to do?

    I have a iphone 4s.  I let it upgrade to new OS.  It will not get past the icloud agree to terms and conditions.  I've review and agreed to all conditons.  It just stays on the terms and conditions.

    It's so simple.  Press Cntl+Alt+Del, I mean, just like Microsoft, reboot and try again.

    Just got my new 4S. It will not charge. Apple logo appears when pressing home button, but suddenly disappears or phone goes dead during initial config. Tried different chargers. Have tried charging for hours. Defect battery on a brand new phone?!

  • HT201401 MY NEW PHONE WILL NOT WORK UNLESS CONNECTED TO THE POWER SOURCE

    My iphone 4 has been faulty since getting it on contract with 3mobile in jan.  The phone will work when plugged into a power source but not otherwise.  I have contacted apple and followed their inistructions but still not working.  Some one has told me it sounds like the charger connection within the phone does anyone else have this problem ??? i am losing patience with both apple and 3 now

    1. Try doing a hard reset while connected to the adapter:
    Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    2. If that doesn't solve the issue, backup the device and restore it as new.
    In that case, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
    If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694 for causes and solutions
    Good luck

  • My new phone will not register my new apple id.. it will only pick up my old id, and I cant do anything to my new phone cause it keeps asking for the password to the old id!

    how do get my new phone to register my new apple id when it keeps coming up with old id, but i can reset anything off the old id, cant even restore the phone cause it keeps using the old id!

    All content bought using an Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
    If you want only to use the new Apple ID, you need to delete all apps, music & books with the old Apple ID and repurchase with the new Apple ID.

  • HT4528 MY NEW PHONE IS NOT BACKING UP LIKE IT SUPPOSE TO AND IM NOT GETTIN ALL MY APPS MUSIC AND PCITURES

    my new phone will not back up all my pics and apps ???? and music

    Hello reneep44,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    These two articles explain what iCloud backs up and how to manage the storage.
    iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519?viewlocale=en_US
    Here’s what iCloud backs up:
    Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some types of content aren’t downloaded automatically in all countries, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store. For more information, see the Apple Support article iTunes in the Cloud availability by country. Some types of content aren’t available in all countries. For more information, see the Apple Support article Which types of items can I buy in my country?.

    Hi, I have recently upgraded from and Iphone 4 to 5.  I completed a back up on my iphone 4 via icloud which went ok.  When setting up my new phone I selected to set up as a new phone and not via icloud back up.  Is there anyway I can restore my details to my new phone?  Thanks Hayley

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates available.
    Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
    When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

  • I upgraded my iphone 4 ios and now my phone will not restore -, i upgraded my iphone 4 ios and now my phone will not restore -

    i upgraded my iphone 4 ios and now my phone will not restore -

    I have run into the same problem. 
    1.  I was sharing the same itunes account with my wife for both of our iPhones 4s.  She upgraded her phone to IOS7 two weeks before I did.  After I did we ran into problems with messaging.  Because we shared itunes account, both iphones were linked.  When I sent text messages to someone, she got a copy. When they replied, she got a copy.  I tried several ways to remove her phone from my profile, but would not work with new IOS7.  I had to create a seperate itunes account for my phone in oirder to do so, as recommended on several help forums.
    2.  I backed up my phone onto itunes before setting up seperate itunes account.  It showed that all the photos, contacts, notes, apps, etc. were synced and backed up.
    3. I logged off itunes (former shared account- now wife's account), logged into new itunes account, and proceeded to restore my phone, while logged into my new itunes account, thinking this would delete my wife's phone from the profile as shared devices.
    4.  Phone would not restore by automatically syncing with itunes, by selecting back up recovery file to recover, or even by deleting everything and starting fresh as if it were a new phone, then trying to restore the data file as if it were recovering the backup info onto the new phone.
    5.  I get the same **** initialization loop sequence on the iphone every time, even after itunes goes through the recovery process, syncing all data, etc., multiple times.  The iPhone loops through the grey screen "Welcome" in different languages, then asks which wireless server I want to connect to, enter passcode, then asks if I want to set up phone as a new device, backup from iCloud, or from iTunes backup.  It does not matter which I select.  It prompts me to connect to iTunes again.  The point is, I have already been through these procedures and the iPhone cannot get past this point and enter run mode, showing me a screen with all my recovered settings. 
    For time being, just to have a functional phone, I have had to delete everything off the phone and set it up as a new device, back to factory settings. Then the phone will get past this and enter into run mode showing screen and apps with factory settings, no contacts, no email ( have to set up again), no voice mail ( have to reset).
    Any ideas on how to over ride this reset mode in the iPhone, when all I want to do is download and recover settings from a backup in iTunes to the device?

  • I updated software upgrade from itunes. now phone will not work at all. only have picture of apple icon and usb on screen

    Try rebooting it and connect. Make sure you're connected directly to a USB port using the Apple USB cable.

  • TS1398 Since I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 my phone will not auto-connect to the home WiFi network.

    I upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2 and now my phone will not auto-connect to the home wifi network.  Each time I leave and return to within range of the network I have to remember to manually connect, otherwise it continues to use 4G for data.  The credentials are saved (all I have to do is tap it to connect) but just won't happen automatically any more.
    Is anyone else seeing this problem?

    Tried the reset multiple times. No go. Before the IOS 7.0,2 update my devices were connecting to home WIFI eventually.

  • Phone will not sync to new pc. dont want to sync and loose data on phone

    I loaded software on my pc – pc was stolen – all info is on my phone but not new pc.  New pc has a different name and now phone will not sync and keep current info, I don’t want to lose my data on phone.  I have changed my password many times – if I use new password in Itunes store on pc it works but will not work on phone.  Apple ID is different on phone.  How do I fix all of this?

    It seems that I have multiple ID’s and 2 email addresses.  My email address changed and I did so on iTunes but when going on to store it asks for password and still shows old email address.  ID on iphone is the old email address and I don’t remember the password.  How do I fix this.  I cannot login on iTunes on my phone.
