Why does my "backing up iphone" freeze when installing the new iOS5

When i plug my phone into the computer it asks "would you like to update to the ios5 etc" when i hit update it "prepares my phone for back up but it never starts the back up. It freezes in the itunes window and does nothing. I have let it sit for an hour before and there is absolutely no movement in the backup status bar.
How do i fix this?

If using Windows iTunes, you may have to set your windows or anti-virus firewall to disabled or learn mode. I dad issues upgrading to iOS 5 with my iPad and this allowed the backup and synch functions to talk to apple. Good luck...

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Do not worry. Hold Sleep (the button you have at the top of the phone) and Home buttons at the same time until your phone restarts, and then try installing the iOS update again.

Why does my grandson's iPhone 5 not have the "None" option in his billing info and my iPad mini does. We both live in Canada.

Why does my grandson's iPhone 5 not have the "None" option in billing info? I have it on my iPad Mini and on my iPhone 4S. We both live in Canada within 20 minutes of each other.
I bought him $30.00 worth of iTunes gift cards, he loaded them, but it won't let him use them. It just goes to his previously entered Visa card which he no longer has and it won't let him unselect it either. Sounds like theft to me!

Because you that's not a supported bluetooth profile on the iPhone... In order to sync contacts with a handsfree system, the system needs to support the PBAP bluetooth profile. If it does, then the contacts will sync automatically.

Ipad2 will freezes when downloading the new ios software update

ipad2 will freezes when downloading the new ios software update. When i hold the Base Button and Sleep button together it just does the same thing. Tried to plug it in directly to my iMAC and it says it can't help me b/c I have a passcode lock. Any solutions?

We don't know, and no one will know until Apple has announced it. Furthermore, speculation is forbidden here.

I can not install new update in Photoshop CC, does any one know, how I can install the new update?

I can not install new update in Photoshop CC, does any one know, how I can install the new update?
Photoshop CC show me, if I look on "Help" -> Update, there is no update. But my actual license is very old....
I tried it, to do it manual. But there is also some problem.

totally agree. at this point i could care less if "apple" supports it. i'm not renting my ipod touch, it's mine. i paid for it. and i'm not asking to do anything illegal with it, all i want is to get rid of this POS ios6 and get back to being able to use my ipod touch the way it was before...working.

When installing the new iTunes software, the message : "the older version of apple software update cannot be removed." What should I do? I tried deleting files related, but nothing works.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does it go through properly this time?

I am getting error "The disk is used for Time Machine Backup" when installing the new OSX Mountain Lion upgrade"

I am keep getting this error "The disk is used for Time Machine Backup" when installing the new OSX Mountain Lion" when doing the upgrade to newly OS.

The folder would be at the root of your hard drive. Double-click Macintosh HD and look there.
If it isn’t there, I’m not sure what it is seeing.

IPhone freezing when installing or uninstalling application during sync

hi,
I've been running to issues with iPhone freezing during install and uninstalling of Applications during iTunes sync. The installation or remove seems to complete after I force reboot iPhone, but sort of troublesome as I'm having to reboot iPhone for every app I try to install or remove. Also, when trying to install or remove application from iPhone's appstore, iPhone gets very unstable and the installation or remove of application never completes.
Is anyone running into this issue? Any workaround (maybe I need to use Mac instead of windows xp ... ?)

I think finally figured out the problem...
This was due to one of the application I had (purchased) installed called "Wisdom dictionary".
This has been taken off of iTunes already but apparently this application was causing other application to not install. The application is about 120 megs, and the company is currently investigating some memory issue related to expanding the installer. It appears to be Apple issue, they are in contact with Apple, but apparently there is no info from Apple when the issue would be addressed....
Anyway, without this application, my iPhone so far has been working pretty well.
It may be possible other large apps may have similar issues.... not sure.

Why there is some graphic distortion after i installed the new OS

Since I installed the New OS X mountain lion, i noticed that there is some graphic distortion specially when opening mails and playing games. i have macbook pro with i7 processor. anybody encounter problem like this? anyone can help me for a solution. thanks

Do you have something like this http://cl.ly/image/0c2y422p0r0f ? This is my screen shot from Mail.app, I didn't tested Mountain Lion in games, but one time 1,5h after instalation of new OS X my system has crashed, and reason was GPU problems (I hope drivers only, I read this in Console.app). ML was freezing about 4-5 minutes, on the dock were artifacts, so I had to do hard reset. My computer is MacBook Pro 13" i5 2,3 Ghz + Intel HD 3000 + 8GB Ram + SSD.

Why does Aperture 3.4.5 freeze when making a slideshow?

I have tried two methods of creating a slideshow:
1. Using the 'play slideshow' option from the File menu.
2. Using the 'new - slideshow' option from the File menu.
In the first case, Aperture simply freezes. The choice of 'theme' (Classic, Ken Burns, etc) does not come up, and nor can anything be selected from the library inspector. The only option was to use Force Quit.
In the second case, a new slideshow is available at the bottom of the library inspector; however, when dragging and dropping pictures, as soon as I try to look in the slideshow folder, Aperture freezes with the 'loading' message (and rotating circle). No pictures can be seen in the slideshow folder. The only option was to use Force Quit.
In both cases, all the photos are less than 3.5 MB, and there were approximately 50 photos in each folder. No music or video was added.
As an aside, I have tried deleting and reinstalling Aperture, and it has not made any difference.
Grateful for any assistance on creating and playing slideshows.

Are you always trying with the same images, or does it happen with any images you try?
if it only happens, when ecrtain imges are included, remove these images from your library.
If it happens with any image you try, create a new Aperture Library (File > Switch to Library > Other/new) and test, if Aperture can play slideshows using a new library.
If you can play slideshows in a new Aperture library, repair or rebuild your main Aperture library, see: Aperture 3 User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library
And if you cannot even play a slideshow from a new library, remove your Aperture preferences, see: Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Aperture back to its original settings. This will not impact your image files or your library. To reset your Aperture user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
Quit Aperture.
In the Finder choose Go to folder from the Go menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field. Press the Go button.
Remove the "com.apple.Aperture.plist" file from the Preferences folder.
Note: The locations of your Aperture libraries are stored in the preference file listed above. If you have stored your library outside the default location of ~/Pictures/Aperture Library, make a note of where the library is before deleting the Aperture preferences file. If you have more than one library, you can bring up a dialog to choose which one to load by pressing Option immediately after you open Aperture.
Post back, if none of this helps.

Iphone freezes when sliding the notification slide.

Why is my iphone restarting when I try to pull down the notifications slide. i.e. when I slide my finger from top downwards, it freezes for some 5-7 seconds showing the apple official logo and then comes back to normal. Is anyone having this problem? please help.
Thank you.

Have you tried a reset?
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)

IPhone freezes when installing OS upgrade

I have a 16GB iPhone 5 that was in process of upgrading to the new OS 8.1, and when it was about 3/5 of the way through the install, it froze. No progress has been made for the last 3 hours.
I am not able to quit out of the install, I cannot reboot to try a new install, I cannot restore to factory settings to start from scratch. Any ideas how to get my phone back?

FIXED IT!
Found an Apple support page called "Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset" that instructed me to press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appeared again, which it did.
Then the screen turned white with a black Apple logo, and I was presented with a slide button that asked if I wanted to complete the upgrade, which I did, and within 3 minutes, my phone was back and fully operational.
WHEW!

A family of 5, have new iphone 4s phones.Because we shared an itunes account previously, now when installing the new phones, it does not allow us to update to individual itunes accounts. How do we change the accounts for each phone installation?

A family of 5, have new iphone 4 s phones.
Because we shared the itunes account previously, on installation of the new devices, the computer does not recognise individual itunes accounts.
So all 5 devices are sharing the same itunes account!!!
How do we set up new accounts on each individual phone?

The iTunes stores in different countries are entirely separate. You can only use an iTunes store credit in the country in with it was created and purchased content cannot be shared across countries. Family sharing groups must be country-specific, using iTunes store credits for purchases only within that country, and sharing purchases that were made in that country. You can contact iTunes store support for more details on these restrictions here: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.
