Unable to update my 4S to 5.0.1: my iphone turned into a brick

Itunes unpacks the software but it never installs on the iPhone: "error code: 14"

You can't update to 5.0.1 because 5.1 is available

Relocation ATT termination. Will my iPhone turn into brick?

I've moved to non-service area and ATT terminated my iPhone contract with no early termination fee. All functions still work except the phone function, which shows no service. Will my iPhone turn into "brick" if I try to update and sync photo and music libraries through iTunes? Will I lose wifi capability that I now have? Will I be able to buy new web apps through iTunes next week after developer's conference? My iPhone is now "legally unlocked" and is functioning as an iTouch. Will it be "bricked" if I connect to iTunes now?

Why do we allow the manufactures and cell phone providers to lock OUR PHONES. We are the client to both of them. There 3 year contract or so is good enough to lock us in as clients.
So we can pay $400 for them instead of $1200 (the cost of an unlocked phone in France).
You can buy almost any phone unlocked; you just pay a LOT more for it than for a locked phone (the iPhone in the US is the exception).

The screen on my iPhone turned into an xray like display. With the assistance from Apple Support, I Upgraded the software version. But still did not resolved the issue.

Probably a setting. Look at the manual.

1TB seagate free agent turned into a brick

After a year or so my free agent 1TB external seagate drive turned into a brick. Luckily I have friends in Seagate who told me this was a known issue, they resurrected my drive for me but told me that I needed to update the drive firmware to prevent this issue reoccurring. I plugged the drive SN into the Seagate web site but it tells me that there are no firmware updates needed. Has anyone had this issue or updated firmware on their external drive. I know that if you do this you can avoid the drive failure. I also know that if the drive is internal to some systems, such as an HP, that you can get a firmware upgrade.

Hi,
i have an 1,5TB Seagate Free Agent connected via Firewire 400 (with a conversion cable to my old MacMini) ther i had always problems that the Free Agent just stopped working (without any error) and Superduper just stopped the copy job.
Now i have the new MacMini and the same problem happens when connected to 800 Firewire with proper cablin ONLY when i let the harddisk go to sleep (System Preferences / Powersaving / let Disk Drives go to sleepp or something like this in english, i have a german installation)
So i try now to set without letting disk go into sleep because it sometimes does not wake up (you see the logo ligt softly flashing) hope anyone has a solution.

IPhone turns into iPad

Hello,
When i plug my iPhone 4 into iTunes, it triggers my iPad to appear! iTunes is 10.6.1 (7), and the iOS on my two devices is up to date. i have unplugged and replugged the iPhone with iTunes open and with iTunes closed, i have synced the iPad before ejecting it from the iTunes sidebar, but every time i plug my iPhone back in, it is the iPad icon (and contents) that shows up in the application!
Another baffling behaviour i am encountering that may or not be connected to the problem above is that when i shut down my iMac, the next time i turn it on, i have to reselect my Time Machine backup disk from my devices (i have an active exterior HD too) BEFORE any backup starts, or all backups fail, and i cannot access the internet anymore, the warning is that PPPoE is not connected. To be able to access the internet, i first have to go on the web from my iPad, which then causes the internet connection on my iMac to work, though it still show up as not connected through PPPoE.
It all looks to me as my iPad has taken command of the whole thing, or more probably, i have some settings wrong! i see on the page where i am typing this that my iPad shows up in my product list, but not the iPhone, so is this a clue? Has someone experienced the same behaviour, or has any idea what is going haywire here? Thanks!

Me again… Before anybody points me to the "obvious", i have figured out that:
1. the iPhone — that i got 10 days ago — was not paired to my iMac, i just did not know about this before i read about it today,
2. …and, duh, i was plugging my iPhone to power with a USB cable. After pairing the iPhone AND connecting it to the iMac, not to external power, the iPhone is now listed in iTunes, and all ends well.
Hope this may help anybody who knows as little as i do about syncing over Wi-Fi! As for the problem with Time Machine and the PPPoE, i'm not there yet

My "buggy" iPhone 3G finally turned into a brick!

Yep, about an hour ago my new 3G that has been very buggy finally died. Just the apple logo on the screen. itunes will not see it and resets do nothing.
I guess it was just a matter of time.....

Look at the bright side. You no longer have a reason to delay taking it to an Apple store (unless you plan to build a Wall of Bricks)

Final Cut Express Movie turns into Widescreen

I've seen a lot of discussion about this on the forum, but no real solutions.
ANd to re-cap...Its not Audio, its not chapter markers, its not having something selected in the timeline when exporting.
When I create a non widescreen project in Final Cut Express (Current Version)
And then export it as a reference movie (as it is suggested to do)
Then import it into iDVD for burning. It becomes a widescreen project.
I have 2 projects I created in FCE. Both are from the same type of source material, both are about the same length, acording to the Quicktime movie inspector, identical in every way almost except for the actual content.
One burned fine in iDVD, the next one, done the same day was converted to widescreen by iDVD.
Any solutions to this...I'm obviously not the first person with the problem.

Same problem with a fullscreen movie exported as a quicktime movie from FCP, then iDVD forcing it into widescreen. I solved the problem by exporting from FCP with Compressor. In Compressor I chose DV_NTSC as my format and it works fine as fullscreen in iDVD. It even saves chapter markers. So that's my current workaround until Apple fixes this terrible bug.

Well, it finally happened to

For many months on this forum I was baffled by calls for class action lawsuits, people being on their 5th Micro, and people swearing off Creative and going to the Fruit Side, all because of the supposed "Headphone jack design flaw" which plagued every Micro.
My Micro, bought in December of last year, never gave me that trouble. Half the time I felt lucky, the other half of the time I felt that the claims of this problem were somewhat exaggerated, that perhaps some people just abuse their electronics. That is, until <i>last week</i>!
Yes, after 7 months of occasional use and treating my Micro like a baby, I too have now suffered the inevitable. It appears I was merely postponing destiny. Well, Creative received my unit yesterday. I hope they can turn it around before I leave for Hawaii in two weeks. If not, I'll have to buy a new mp3 player and sell the refurbished one on eBay.
For those of you who have gotten their players repaired, does the repair hold up? Or does the jack merely fail again? And for those of you buying new Micros, has the jack indeed been re-enforced? I've heard conflicting statements on this.

Out of interest, do you wrap the headphone wire around the player?
How did it break? Through perfectly normal usage, that's how! Why? Only Creative knows (and they ain't talking!).
Someone before gave a relati'vely detailed description that (I think) the way its soldered, the middle joint acts like a fulcrum and therefore eventually the end joint breaks free. If that's to be believed of course.

Iphone turned into ipod can't send texts

Gave daughter my iphone 4s to use as an ipod. I now have a Samsung Galaxy with ATT. I also have an Ipad. I have removed my cell phone number from my apple id. My daughter cannot send texts from her ipod under wifi conditions. She always could in the past with my old iphones until I switched to the Samsung. I have tried everything from taking out her sim card, I have restored the phone and nothing works. I have googled and have seen problems similar to this but nothing seems to help. Any ideas? I have her settings checked imessage and checked sms if imessage isn't available. I would sincerely appreciate some help or advice.

If the phone is being used without cellular service, having "Send as SMS" will not do any good. You cannot send an SMS on a device that does not have cellular service. The settings in iMessage need to show the Send and Receive, or Start message from with the Apple ID being used for that device. Go back, since you have restored the device and check those settings for iMessage.

WRVS4400N turned into a brick

So like everybody else my WRVS4400N is so unstable I had to try everything to keep it working. Last but not least I tried the restore utility on the download page and now the router won't start up. All that happens is the red diag light stays one, the power light comes on and the switch lights turn on. But you can't ping 192.168.1.1 and no amount of holding the rest button in the back fixes it. So its toast or is there anything anybody can think of? I mean seriously, I followed the instructions emphatically and their own utility bricks their own product?

Still nothing I can think of can revert the Linksys "Restore" Utility. I love how it "Restored" it to the state of paper weight though. Thats great.

My iphone turned off after I got off the phone. It was fully charged and it went black. I plugged it into my wall charger and my computer, but nothing has showed up, its still dead. It was totally fine before. What happened?

My iphone turned off after I got off the phone today. It was more than half way charged and it went totally black. I plugged it into my wall charger and my computer, but nothing has showed up. It doesn't register on the computer either, the charge symbol doesn't appear, and there is no apple logo to be found. I have no idea what happened! It was totally fine before. I tried charging another ipod with my usb and wall charger to make sure that they were still working, and they weren't the problem. What happened? Is the phone dead for good? I have a 3G if that changes anything. THANKS!

Press and hold both the on/off button and the home button and release them both when the apple logo appears. That will reboot the phone. try that.

You need to Restore the iPhone using iTunes. If you have a recent backup it will be restored at the end of Restore process.

When syncing iPhone 4 with new update songs turn into "other" files

Hello,
Yesterday i upgraded the iphone software to ios7, after doing this everything was working well but when it tried to sync my music files from itunes it said it was syncing music file until the iphone had synced completely when they turned into "other" files. I ahve tried restoring it but nothing has worked and it keeps happeneing. Was wondering if anyone was also having this problem and could point me in the right direction.
Thank you inadvance.

So far there is no fix, there are many threads on this topic and many people with this problem. We are all ticked off and Apple needs to fix this ASAP. They don't seem to care.

2.0 software on Edge iPhone turned it into garbage

What is Apple doing? A once great phone has turned into garbage thanks to 2.0.
1. Touchpad has crappy response - tap and tap and tap and tap, oh is something about to happen, no , tap then tap then tap - give up and reboot. (Reboot, is that a PC term that Apple had begun to emulate?)
2. View web, turn it landscape, web stays portrait.
3. Try to open application (native, not third party) - slow as a constipated gorilla.
4. e-mail tries to connect but can not even when using Wifi
5. type text in web address bar, or SMS or email - lags longer than an 80 year old woman at the grocery counter looking for pennies to pay for her milk.
6. Did Apple do this on purpose to force people into buying the 3G version? To force idiots like me who flocked to buy the edge version on its' debut day, the same day Apple probably decided to screw the public by planning the 3G version, and the price cut of the original. To force us into shelling out another $199 to buy the 3G. I'll look hard at Sprint's "Iphone killer" first.
7. Individual songs skip, fading in and out, bringing back memories of 45's and an old diamond needle
8. Individual songs repeats, without the repeat option selected. Let me bring out the Victrola and listen to my grandma's 33's and 78's
8. Is Apple's new ad line going to be, "Hello I'm a Mac...Hello I'm a PC who used to be a Mac."
9. Apply, Rinse, Repeat - didn't solve anything. I restored the phone to original settings, set it up as a new phone, reloaded songs, contact, calendar and still a phone unworthy of being called an apple product.
10. Apple - stop screwing with loyal customers. We'll only take it for so long.

That must be something specific to your Edge phone. When I upgraded my Edge phone I did not have any problems whatsoever. All of the native applications seemed to be faster not slower. The downloaded applications worked great. I did not have any problems with the landscape vs portrait on web or any of the applications that use it.
It sounds like you have a hardware problem and not a software problem. I would suggest that you call Applecare and tell them about it or if you are close to an Apple store, take it to the genius bar. You are not experiencing the normal performance of a 2.0 upgrade on the Edge iPhone.
