Every time I try to restore my phone from the back up, after the update didnt work, its saying it cannot do this because it cannot start a session

I tried updating my phone, and right towards the end it said it could not update for whatever reason. So I restored it and updated it, and now it's not letting me restore it from my backup, even though it keeps asking if I want to.

Well, the problem isn't the back up because I already have a backup saved that I can restore from, I honestly don't know how, but I do, and it has all my apps. The problem is restoring it. I keep getting the "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod "King". A duplicate file name was specified. With my 3G iPod touch, I did not have it named as "King". I had it as another name. I don't know if that helps, but as I said before, Backup-wise I'm okay for now. Restore-wise I'm not.
NOTE: Reinstalling iTunes doesn't help.

    Hi, to get your iPhone  4 back to normal, here're two ways for you.
    1.  Use Dr.Fone for iOS. The free trial version can fix iPhone screen of death. The free trial version can do that, you don't have to pay.
    Just download and install this software on your computer and connect your iPhone 4 to computer with a USB cable. When it detects your iPhone 4 is abnormal, click Restart the device to get your iPhone 4 to be normal.
    2. Use iTunes to fix it.
    Step 1. Make sure that the latest iTunes is installed on your computer.
    Step 2. Plug into a USB cable to connect your iPhone4 to computer.
    Step 3. Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time for about 10s.
    Step 4. 10 seconds later, release the sleep/wake button. But continue to hold the home button until a message comes out, saying "iTunes has discovered an iPhone 4 in recovery mode, you must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes".
    Step 5. Click your iPhone 4 in the left sidebar to show the device control panel on the right. Then, click Summary.
    Step 6. Go to Backups section and click Restore Backup.... In the drop-down list, choose a backup file and restore to your iPhone 4

  • Every time I try to restore my phone i get error 3149?

    I've done everything suggested in the online help category for error codes, my internet connection is working very well, my usb cable connections are fine, I don't know what else to do to get rid of this error so i can restore my I.O.S on i tunes, any suggestions?

    Instead of 3194, maybe it is 3149? If so, that is generally an error that is displayed if you are trying to install an iOS other than the current one, or your device is jailbroken. Do either of these refer to what you are trying to do? Your profile says iPhone 4, so the latest iOS for that device is iOS7.1, is that what you are trying to install? Are you just connecting to iTunes and doing a restore, or trying to download the iOS from another site?

    can anyone help me with this issue, every time i try to restore it will come up like this error message.

    Restore the iPhone when connected to iTunes by cable.
    Still the same TS1275?
    Is your iPhone jailbroken?
    Or
    Has your computer ever been used to jailbrake or downgrade (Tinyumbrella) any iPhone?

  • Every time I try to restore my ipod it downloads the software then it says its processing it, then it says it cant download it right now.  Is there any other way to unlock a locked ipod touch without the lockcode?

    My son can't remember his passcode for his iPod touch and for some reason every time I try to restore it, the software gets updated and it starts processing it then it says there was an error and to try again later.  Later, it still does and says the same thing.  Is there any other way to unlock it without the passcode?

    The only way to clear off the passcode is to restore the device.  You could always try the restore process on another computer that has iTunes just to get the iPod working again, then you could plug it back into your comptuer to sync all of his content back on the iPod.

    I found my brother's old 1st generation iPod. An unknown error 1442 keeps appearing every time I try to restore the iPod.

    Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

  • Ipod classic unregisters from mac every time i try to restore with itunes

    i have a 7th generations 120 g ipod. every time i try to restore it, you hear an audible click as it unregisters itself from my computer. And it will keep appearing and disappearing in that manner until i physically remove it from my computer. even when i hit eject, it just re registers itself then a few seconds later it un registers itself again. i have tried everything i have read from this forum. i have erased it's contents, i have put in in disk mode, I have put it in recovery mood holding buttons for 12 seconds. nothing works. as soon as its almost done restoring it un registers itself and i am unable to restore it. and the computer keeps telling me its corrupt after i've erased it with disk utility. please help. i have also gone into the configuration and looked at the stats. i don't see anything thats says there is anything wrong with the hard drive.

    However, the most likely reason is your self-repair of a device that is only factory repairable broke something. Note that Apple does not sell replacement parts, so whatever parts you used were not made by Apple's supplier and are of questionable quality.

    Hi
    Error -50 paramErr  Error in user parameter list
    Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
    What this means in Your situation is above me.
    • free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
    Video codec
    • streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
    Pictures
    • in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
    Audio
    • from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
    Trash the Preference file:
    The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
    Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
    • Library - at root level
    • Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
    from Luke Burns
    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

    You need more free space on your hard drive.

    After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
    Where do Your material come from
    • Camera
    • External hard disk
    • USB-memory
    And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

    from Karsten S
    Shorter clips than 1,5 sec might be one of the culptrits
    Bengt cont.
    Set-Up might differ
    • Mac OS - most probably X.7 or more
    • iMovie version - more than iM'11 v. 9.0.4
    Action taken
    • Finalizing project - I never do as I never understood the gain to do so
    • Share as HD to iDVD - never give any gain but if it works the resulting DVD is less quality than if SD-quality was shared
    fps - set
    •I only use PAL (25fps)
