WONT SYNC AFTER SOFTWARE UPDATE - COMPLETELY LOCKED UP

I went to sync my iphone 3G today and it said a new software update was available. I already updated the software that allowed the cut/copy/paste feature. This was the most recent one. An error occurred (I did not get the error #) and now all I get is the "connect to the itunes" picture with the USB pic. When I connect, it says I need to restore which I do and then it gets to the verifying iphone software portion and freezes.
I have deleted the iphone software updates folder from the application data, apple computer, itunes folder. Nothing works.
I have read several threads and forums but none help. The last resort would be to delete Itunes and reinstall but then I lose my restore option from yesterday, right?
My iphone is useless. Please help. I use it for work and I am helpless and disconnected from everything....

I tried to update iphone on 3 seperate windows XP machines and had the same issue. USB cable and itunes logo. Phone was screwed! tried all the suggested forum fixes and nothing changed.
Took the phone into local apple store and cha ching! everything updates fine on a mac. Asked as to why all the issues were happening with XP/Vista and got the shoulder shrug. They were thinking things might be more stable with windows 7. How oes that help me now and what about those who don't have a local apple store to go to????
This was my fathers phone...needless to say I did not get an iphone when i upgaded phones yesterday. Too many issues between apple products and windows.

  • Macbook wont start after software update

    I ran the software update on my white macbook and now when the computer restarts it just spins. I have tried the hardware tests and it detects no problems. The computer will not restart it just spins and the fan goes for hours. Any help is appreciated.

    Hi, I have been FIGHTING w/ the Apple Tech Support Group for almost a yr now on this issue. 10 of the 20 school MacBooks have died ( spinning gear for hrs ) when I did the update from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. I can't install the new iLife & iWork suites until we are at 10.4.10. I repaired permissions, ran Disk Warrior & Apple Disk Util from the CD before running the updates. I even tested the updates as the Admin & then as the Root user, still BIG TIME HOSE!!!!!!! I only have the standard Apple S/W & Microsoft Office 2004 on the books. The .10 update hoses the books, so I have quit running the update services on my G5 xServer, & the school is on HOLD. On the books that did hose I have had to re-install the OS & run my backups for the teachers. Apple says " we haven't heard any of these problems, so it must not be happening ". They are so very LAME........ we only spent $100,000 on Apple H/W & S/W & they won't support this issue. The school did get a new Intel Core2 Duo MacBook & I ran the update to go to 10.4.10 & it worked GREAT. This same update HOSED my personal MacBook Pro when updating from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. My MBP is a 1st gen Intel Core Duo CPU. Have you reported this prob to the Apple GURU's yet?¿?¿ Friday I just tested the 10.4.10 to 10.4.11 update on the 1st gen CPU book & it worked w/ no probs. My next test is to run the 10.4.9 to 10.4.11 & see if it works............. one can only HOPE!!!!!!!

  • MP wont restart after software update

    I just did the recent batch of updates including system update, QT, Motion, and many more and suddenly in the middle of a panic of deadlines, the computer will not get past the rotating ring/clock that often happens for only a few moments on any OSX machine. In the old days I'd disconnect SCSI, the network connection, etc. but am not sure where to go on the new machine and given the deadline am afraid to go hogwild. It's a brand-spankin' new machine so the fact this has gone 20+ minutes is mind-blowing.
    Any ideas, much appreciated with any trouble shooting help.
    PS: i'm on my powerbook -- that machine seems to be in a coma.
    Thanks,
    Dan T.

    Hi and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.

  • Major Sync and software update issue with windows 7 and iphone

    Loved my iPhone 3g and love my 4.0! My only concern is syncing and software updates are sporadic.
    When I first purchased and sync'd my 3g on my laptop, that I had since 2005 w/XP home 64bit, it would constantly (1 out of 5 times) show phone was disconnected and could not sync. Purchased a desktop, 2009 w/Vista 64bit (same issue mentioned continued) then upgraded to windows 7 64bit (same issue mentioned continued).
    Both pc's are authorized and contain the same apps and software. I went through all trouble shooting steps (authorize/deauthorize, phone hard boot, sync w/airplane mode on and/or off, uninstall and or reinstall iTunes, etc...) when both phones would brick after software updates on both pc's.
    The last software update 4.0 and most recent 4.2.1 went well on laptop with XP and no longer shows sync issue. The problem continues on the windows 7 and backup has completed successfully 3 times.
    Long story short, I have to pray the laptop never dies because iTunes, syncing and software updates on XP works now! The problem with software update, backups and syncing persists on windows 7.
    * I was able to apply 4.2.1 software update on XP and then connect to windows 7 to sync and backup successfully. I then disconnected/reconnected iphone to windows 7 and problem happened again, unable to sync phone was disconnected error message.

    I've had my new pc for over a year, never had any probs syncing my iphone (then a 3G but now the big 4!)
    I went to sync updates to Apps and a couple of tunes I had downloaded straight to my phone only to get an error message 'iTunes has stopped working - windows is checking the problem' followed by another messaged telling me there was a problem causing the program not to work correctly. Windows will close the program and notify me if a solution is found'
    Well..... I have NO music on my iPhone and every time I try to sync, the same error messages come up and the bloody program shuts down....

  • After software update (Sept. '09) apps don't work and some missing

    Plugged my phone in and itunes said there was an update I needed to install. Did that then it said there was a problem with the phone and it needed to be formatted before itunes could read it, did that too. Then while it was syncing up again after formatting it kept telling me there was a problem and items could not be found. All downloaded apps, some are missing completely from the phone, are no longer working. HELP!

    the post says "after software update (sept. '09) apps don't work and some missing"
    there has been no update in sept 09!!!!
    Perhaps the OP doesn't connect the iPhone to the computer very often.

    I don't have Apple Care, what to do? Spend more money and buy a new phone?

    Here is another person who has a problem with the iPhone 5 screen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc1ZPWSA8dc and they have just received them NEW!!!!!
    I myself, two days ago purchased a  2nd hand iPhone 5 that was advertised as having a line of squares at the bottom of the screen. I Googled it and found people saying it was a screen issue and to replace the screen, so I did this and it is still happening with a new screen.
    I am starting to dislike Apple intensely after reading forum posts and watching videos where people are asking for help and telling us about issues that they are having with their phones.
    Why is Apple getting it so wrong with their updates and manufacturing that they are completely destroying iPhones that cost a lot of money and then expecting the owner to purchase another phone unless they are still in warranty.
    Apple you should be going out of your way to put things right for people but instead there is a wall of silence over so many of the issues destroying peoples phones.

    Here is how I do it. Once the update command has completed and is showing the history, I reselect the complete list and then from the manage menu I selece Restart. It brings up an option for users to save any changes or cancel the restart or users lose unsaved changes. At the bottom right is a restart button. Clicking that will send the command for the machine to restart.
