Why did the 6.1 upgrade put my phone into restore mode?

My phone was working fine and when it started loading the 6.1 update, it instantly caused my phone to crash and now it's in recovery mode and I can't do anything to get it back.  I have used a number of computers connecting to iTunes and it will not restore no matter what I do.  I have followed all the instructions listed on Apple's website and nothing.  I think Apple should be responsible for the phone and replace it.  It anyone have any ideas how I can get it restored?

    Thank you for contacting us, Brian51.
I am sorry you had to encounter these problems when you upgraded your phone's software.
You already did some things that we would have you do (sync with iTunes) since that didn't work, it would be best to replace the device under the warranty replacement guidelines.
The store can process the order for you if you aren't able to call us at 800.922.0204 from a different phone.

  • Is there a reason why the iOS 7 update put my phone into recovery mode?

    I was prompted to update my phone, which I did, and when it finished downloading, I got the "Connect to iTunes" screen, which I thought was odd. The iTunes tells me it was put into recovery mode. Is there any reason as to why this happened?

    Oh no! My iTunes doesn't want to recognize my phone now either.

  • I recently put my phone into recovery mode but it showed this "The iPhone can not be restored error(3419)."

    I put my phone into a recovery mode but it showed "The iPhone cannot be restored error (3419)." I want to restore it, but all it shows is a iTunes symbol, and an Apple cord. What do I do?! I'm really frustrated. I aside with that, I tried using TinyUmbrella, but my iPhone wont detect.. Can anyone solve this?!

    Error 1 is a very bad Hardware Error of the Baseband Chip. There is no fix. If you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage, make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

  • Why did Mail do an upgrade/import after Time Machine restore?

    I just did a full Time Machine restore of my Mac after a hard drive issue (Yosemite). Everything looks OK overall, but when I launched Mail.app, it did a full upgrade/import, as though I'd just upgraded from an earlier version and needed to update the database. Is that normal? Why is it necessary? Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    exclamation point when trying to view an individual image).
    The exclamation point is an indication that iPhoto has lost the link/file path to the original file. Are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    Click to view full size
    If you're running a "managed" library try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in the User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select last three options.
    Click to view full size
    Fix #3
    Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • HELP, i was used the beta version for ios 7, and i put my phone into dfu mode. And now, it won't activate. PLEASE HELP!?!?!

    Le question basically.

    Bummer for you then, huh?  Guess that's what you get for using pirated software.  You've forfeited your abilit to get assistance on this forum by pirating Apple's software.
    Look elsewhere on the internet, or pay $99 to join as a developer and then you can get access to the forum that might have your answer.

  • I tried to download iOS7 to my iPhone 4, it put my phone into recovery mode and every time I try to restore it, it says it failed? HELP

    I have an iPhone 4, I tried to download iOS 7 from iTunes tonight. I made sure my iTunes was up to date and everything, and while it was downloading iOS7 my screen went black and the iTunes symbol with the USB cord popped up onto it and in my iTunes tab, it said that it detected an iPhone in recovery mode and to restore/update it. I've tried it twice already, resetting my laptop twice and I don't know what to do someone please help!

    I think this could help. Also, there are links to other posts for a bunch of possible soultions. I'd try this first. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • HT201210 I just tried to update my iphone 5 c and its now put my phone into recovery mode

    when i connect it to the computer to restore it its making me download the update first which i dont want to do cos it takes hours,
    is there anyway out of the downloading the update at this stage and just restoring my iphone?
    Thanks

    Delete it?  My iPhone was connected to my laptop, and I said Download and Install (or whatever) from iTunes.  It downloaded it, then announced the firmware version was wrong... so I know of no intermediate file to delete.  I just tried it again, hitting the Download Only button, but I see absolutely no indication of where that file would be stored, or, now that it is (supposedly) downloaded, how I would go about installing it.  Thanks for your suggestion, though.

  • My pictures disappeared when I did the latest 4G upgrade.  Where did they go?

    try downloading another free app that you've never purchased..  Seems like a weird idea, but sometimes this actually does the trick.

    I cant even get into itunes because it wont recognize it to do a reboot or a rollback.

  • HT4623 Why did the update of my phone to the IOS 6, lose my UTube icon, and was replaced with a Passbook app.

    Why did the update of my iphone4 to the IOS 6, lose my UTube icon, and was replaced with a Passbook app.

    Apple is no longer supporting YouTube with a native application starting with iOS 6.0.  The "old" YouTube application was automatically removed when you upgraded, and it no longer exists in the new iOS.  There are however, numerous third-party apps in the App Store which will allow you to view YouTube, including one from Google, which is the parent company for YouTube.  Passbook is a new application to iOS 6.0 and is not at all related to YouTube.

  • Good morning to all of you I have A mac and I did the mistake of upgrading my Lightroom 5.4 to 5.6 Now I can't import anything it says "Could not find namespace: AgCreativeCloudUtils" Could anyone help me resolve this problem?  Should I uninstall the prog

    Good morning to all of you
    I have A mac and I did the mistake of upgrading my Lightroom 5.4 to 5.6 Now I can't import anything it says "Could not find namespace: AgCreativeCloudUtils"
    Could anyone help me resolve this problem?
    Should I uninstall the program and reinstall it
    Thank you so much

    I asked because an awful lot of people have recently been confused between downloading the Cloud and the perpetual versions of Lr - although I'm not automatically assuming your'e guilty of this - and can't understand why their serial no won't unlock their new software.
    If the wrong version has been installed, then it must be uninstalled and the right one downloaded.

  • Why did the trace NOT show the other switches in between?

    I have a PC that is connected to a switch (A) in a network. Switch A has many switches in between and connects to another switch B. When I did a trace to the server, the last switch I see in the result is switch B. Also, when I checked to which port of switch B that the server was connected, It showed as Po1. When I did a show cdp neighbor for the interfaces for the interfaces involved inthe bundle, I get a switch and then another. Why did the trace NOT show the other switches in between? Why did I get an arp on Switch B? Could some one explain?

    It's hard to tell, but if you have L2 switches, the addresses on those L2 switches are for management purposes only and you won't see a response from a trace. The only time you'll see a response is when the packet is routed between devices and not switched. You'll get an arp request/response across a single vlan. If you have vlan 10 across 10 switches, all 10 switches will see an arp request because they're broadcasted throughout the whole vlan.

  • HT2589 Why did the App store make me purchase Pages again?  I already bought Pages, Keynote and Numbers for my Ipad and I want to download them on my Mac Book Pro and they aren't in the purchases tab.

    Why did the app store make me purchase Pages again?  I already bought Pages, Numbers and Keynote for my Ipad and want to download them onto my Mac Book and they aren't in the purchases tab.  I thought I would try clicking on the buy button for Pages, thinking, it would say I already purchased this app, but it didn't.  Where are all my purchases?  I used the same Apple ID I use for all my Apple devices.  Help!  I really don't want to buy them all again.

    The version of Pages, Keynote and Numbers for the Mac will be different than the iOS version and will require a separate purchase.
