Why does my iPhone not allow me to sync after iOS5 upgrade?

I recently upgraded my iPhone 4to iOS 5 and I lost everything from my phone (all apps, music, contacts, etc.) and cannot sync to my iTunes account.  Any help out there?

It might have a software issue that needs to be resolved.
I would first try to reset the device by holding the home button and sleep/wake button until you see the apple logo. Then release. Wait for the phone to come back on and try again.

    Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS? this in the works?

    "Why Does the iPhone not send/receive MMS?"
    Apple chose not to offer this as a feature of iphone. E-mail can accomplish the same thing.
    "is in the works?"
    This has been asked and answered countless times. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
    Apple has announced that MMS will be included in the 3.0 software due out this summer. Before you ask, all that has been announced is in this link:

    Apples developer conference begins tomorrow.

  • HT3529 I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    I'm sending an iMessage from my iPhone to another iPhone but the recipient phone does not receive message because not on wifi. Why does recipient iPhone not automatically receive in text messaging?

    Wi-Fi is not required for iMessage. Internet access is required for iMessage which includes when the iPhone is connected to the cellular network.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will fail to send and you will be prompted to send as an SMS if text only.

  • Why does my iphone 4 keep dropping wifi connection since ios5.0.1update

    Why does my iphone 4 keep dropping wifi connection since ios5.0.1 update, it worked perfectly before, my wifes 3gs connects fine and stays connected while my £400 paperweight losses connection, thinking of going back to nokia! Sort it out apple!

    If the "oh so Great Apple" were to monitor these forums then they might see all the problems
    that the people who have paid good money for their devices are having, i suppose they can do no wrong
    In your eyes, i just thought that if you pay a lot of money for a product that works fine, and you update
    It with a firmware update that they kept going on about how good it was and it can do this and it can
    Do that, then i think they should sort it out. I don't care if i "don't deserve to be an apple owner" or not,
    The fact is i paid my money and it should do what its suppose to do, i moved from Nokia to Apple because
    The N97 was crap and i put up with it for too long, and they didn't do anything to fix the bugs they just stopped
    Selling it and basically said tough s**t, so now this is happened i hoped Apple whould be better but they seem
    To be just like the rest.

  • TS1363 Why does my iphone stall on preparing to sync?

    why does my iphone 4, stall on preparing to sync?

    In addition the the step it tells you what it is doing during that step. If it is backing up that is taking a long time try deleting your backup, then just back up (rather than syncing). The first backup may take a while, but after that is should be fast. If it is Syncing see if you can identify the sync step - contacts, calendar, photos. If you have a lot of photos in Albums (not camera roll) that should take a long time whenever you change photos, but should not any other time.
    How are you syncing contacts and calendar? If you have a lot of contacts (>1,000) and the change frequently that's a possibility Likewise for calendar entries.
    Beyond these I'm as mystified as you. Earlier versions prior to 3.1 commonly took a long time to sync, but more recent versions generally ahve not had a problem.

  • Why does my iPhone not show up in iTunes on a mac that has a shared internet connection from another mac?

    I have what I would consider a difficult question. I called Apple Care and after she spoke to a senior advisor,the representative ended up saying it wasn't possible.
    Having said that, I'm sure this is not a difficult question for people with networking expertise.
    Setup
    So...I have a MacBook receiving a WiFi signal via AirPort.
    In System Preferences, I have turned on Internet sharing (share airport over Ethernet).
    I connected the Ethernet port on my MacBook to the Ethernet port on my MDD PowerMac G4.
    At this point, I can successfully browse the web, perform software updates, and view other computers and iTunes libraries on my network from my G4.
    Goal
    However, in iTunes on my G4 I would like to use iTunes DJ.
    Tried
    So...I click on iTunes DJ.
    I set the settings (button in bottom right) to allow guest remotes, etc.
    I turned on iTunes Home Sharing (logged into the same account as by iPhone).
    Problem
    However, from the Remote app on my iPhone, I am unable to see the library on my G4.
    Also, if I want to pair my iPhone Remote app with iTunes on my G4, I click add Library in the Remote app, but iTunes on the G4 never displays my iPhone in the left column (although I am able to see all other iTunes libraries being shared on the network).
    Thus, I cannot connect to iTunes as a guest Remote, nor can I connect as paired remote.
    I have successfully done both of these things with computers connected directly to my modem, as well as with computers connected via WiFi.
    The problem is connecting devices to computers that get their internet connection though another computer via internet sharing.
    Question
    So my question is about Internet sharing itself. Is it not a fully featured ad-hoc network? Does it only provide browsing capabilities and the ability to browse networked computers, but NOT devices such as an iPhone? I don't see the difference; my iPhone is on the same network as the computers, so why is there no communication between it and computers that gain their Internet connection through another computer?
    I really hope someone out there who is an expert in networking can help me out with this. Or if it truly is impossible, if someone could explain to me why that is the case, I would also appreciate it.
    ps. I usually have my MacBook sharing its Internet connection through an old router that I am using as a switch because I share the connection with three other computers. And if it isn't obvious, the modem is downstairs, and the MacBook, old router being used as a switch, and other computers are upstairs where there is no Ethernet wired.
    Thank you in advance for any help.

  • Why does the iPhone not have expandable memory (i.e. MicroSD Chips)?

    I know that many phones come with a MicroSD slot to come with the phone, but why does Apple NOT provide a slot for the iPhone. I would like to know the answer to this hardware puzzle, because many competing phones have these advantages. The only upside I see in the iPhone is web versatility and stability, and that's diminishing very very fast.

    Why close it? Some people might be interested in reading it.
    No, posting on a site for a different product saying your product doesn't meet my needs make it like a Surface is trolling. Chiding someone who made a comment 2 years ago who isn't even here is trolling.
    Basically what you did was buy a product that you knew didn't have 2 important features that you think are essential and now you want Apple to add that. And even if they did add that then you would be posting about the fact that you can't copy anything to the USB or microSD device and you can't copy apps, documents, etc. Which is because iDevices don't have an accessible file system. And you've already mentioned you want that. Due to security reasons it isn't going to happen.
    What you've said you need is a table that is a full computer. You need to buy the Surface Pro (skip the RT, there are limitations you will not be happy with). It will give you a USB port, accessories for a microSD and a fully accessible file system.
    The good news is Apple's devices hold resale value far, far better than any other comparable devices. So sell yours and get a Surace Pro. You will be glad you did.

  • Why does Skype do not allow to delete conversation with single contact?

    IT is a simple question only if Skype can be HONEST and answer it truthfully.. What is the reason that we can not have a feature where we can delete the single conversation with one contact. Now the option skype has does not allow that. You either delete your entire history with all contacts or you have to keep the conversation history you do not want to keep.. I mean It has to be on purpose that Skype has not allowed this option. If you absolutely do not care and will not allow this option, then at least be honest and tell us this is the reason and we can either shut up or move on to some other service... I doubt I will get an honest ansewer

    Ever since MS bought Skype, it has gone to craps.. but I guess just like anything else in corporate America, Ethics is not the words, Executives want to hear.. I AM SURE  Mr. Sweden was not so " I do not give a S&&%T " kinda guy when he developed the Skype but then money came in and he said, WHY NOT? let us do whatever makes us most money and here we are , perfect exploitations of users just because we use free product so we have no right to complain

  • Why does my iPhone not charge with the wall charger?

    i have recently purchased an iphone 4 (within the last month). it has charged via the wall charger at first but now, the wall charger does not work. it does charge by connecting the USB cable to my computer. is there any way i can get my wall charger working? or will i have to get a new one? thanks.

    Try a different wall socket - if you haven't already and/or try this.... reset the iPad
    Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. then try again.
    You could also try updating your software as I have no idea which version you are running on your iPad.

  • Why does skypein numbers not allow receiving sms?

    Does anyone have a definitive answer as to why skype has never done this, very useful function. 
    I AND MILLIONS OF OTHERS WOULD LOVE THIS SKYPE. WHY CAN YOU NOT PLEASE DO IT FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!!
    SMS IS EASIER THAN VOICE !!!!
    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 

    Does anyone have a definitive answer as to why skype has never done this, very useful function. 
    I don't have the definitive answer for your question.  It is possible that Skype is not able to receive SMS messages because Skype does not operate a mobile phone carrier - or does not partner with mobile carriers in different countries, as Skype does with other non-mobile carriers for services we currently have.  I was told in another part of these community forums that SMS messages can be received on German landlines, but this appears to be a rare thing compared to most of the world.  Skype's numbers are usually set up to work like regular landline numbers or - in some countries - may be a special class of number (nomadic or VOIP, for example).  
    Subject to government regulations in the different countries, Skype would have to partner with mobile phone carriers in different countries, and then have the ability to issue Online Numbers that would appear to the telephone network to be either mobile numbers or special numbers that have the ability to receive SMS.  Between the technical and legal hurdles Skype would have to go through, it is possible they are very happy with having the online numbers that work for receiving voice calls.  (For some posting all over these forums, there are some countries that Skype users would be very happy to get an Online Number for voice calls - Canada comes to mind)
    Approaching Skype Customer Support, instead of these community forums frequented mostly by other Skype users, may be a good thing.  Then you might be able to get an answer from Skype directly.  No guarantees, of course, but you'll never know if you don't try.
    Good luck!

  • HT5621 why does my Iphone not accept my apple id unless it has an email address in it the id name?

    I apparently have two apple ID's as my IPhone 4 would not accept my ID because it was not in the form of an email address.

    Unfortunately, yes. Apple needs to find a way to "merge" Apple ID's, but until they do, it is what it is.
    You're not the only user in this boat.
