I was updating my iphone, there was an error and now it won't let me restore a backup. What do i do?
I was updating to the latest version of IOs 7 last night and when i woke up there had been an error with the update. When I tried to use my iphone the next morning it said there was an error and i needed to restore it. I did and now it is not letting me restore from backup. I backed up the phone with itunes just before doing to update. I'm so frustrated, now what do i do? it says to go to an apple store or something but i dont live near to one. Anyone suggestions?
What, exactly, happens when you try to restore it?

My iPhone 5 keeps restarting! And now it won't let me restore my phone!
My iPhone would freeze then restart itself from time to time, but now it's been happening every few minutes! And now, my phone can't even be restored from iTunes! I am quite angry because I payed a lot of money to buy my phone factory unlocked, and it is having problems on me! I've never even dropped my iPhone. It's really upsetting spending hundreds of dollars on a phone that has many problems.
Hello gnicholas98,
It may help to put your iPhone into recovery mode prior to attempting to restore it.

I just updated my iPad to the new ios and now it won't let me use iCloud. I have been in my settings and it says I need to agree to the new t&c's but when I click to do it my device freezes. Any Idea what I can do as I can't download new app either
Sorry. There's nothing anyone can do. The current version of the facebook app will not run on 4.2.1. The iPhone 3G won't run anything higher than 4.2.1. You're stuck.
Maybe it's time to buy yourself a new iPod Touch. -
I recently when to England. When I returned to the US, my iPhone 5 wouldn't find the 4G network. I've tried restoring network settings, I've tried hard resets. I finally wiped the phone, and now, it won't let me restore anything. I'm kind of stuck - this is both my personal and my work phone, so I'm really in a bother here. Help!
I had "do not disturb" on in England. I did take it off airplane mode periodically, but I never actually used the network. I stuck to local wifi to do brousing and a bit of messaging. It periodically told me I was on an English network, but I didn't actually use it. And I had data roaming shut off all together.
when I try to restore, I get this message:
Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes. If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support.
When I try it through iTunes, I get a similar message.
and the network just keeps saying, "Searching..." -
HT1459 i tried to restore but there was an error and now ipod won't turn back on
randomly my music wouldn't sunc with my ipod today, so i tried to restore it. however, there was an error during restoring and now my computer won't recognize my ipod and the screen on my ipod keeps going to the "itunes/connecter" picture and it won't so anything else. how do i fix this?
Have you tried resetting the iPod? Hold the home button and wake/sleep button for 10 secs (it can take more). If iTunes won't recognize it anyway, try reinstalling iTunes. Hope can help!

I just updated my iphone 4s with iOS 6 and now it won't connect to wifi!
I did the update and now it will not connect to wifi. I have tried reseting, forgetting the network then reconnecting etc...almost everything and it still will not work!!!
You could unplug your router than plug it back in. You could turn the iPhone completely off and then back on.

Updated my ipod and now it won't let me restore my iPod.
My iPod was working fine until I decided to purchase Angry Birds on the AppStore on my iPod Touch 3g. Soon after I hit install the Angry Birds icon was grey and it wouldnt install, I turned the iPod off and when it turned on it still said "loading" on the little icon. After a little bit the screen went weird and shut off. The Apple logo kept coming up and it wouldn't go away. I looked up that issue and got it fixed, I held down home and then connected it to my computer. I went into iTunes and it told me I needed to update the software in order to restore my iPod. I updated the software and when I clicked restore it would say "Checking restoration with Apple" and it would start to go, the little loading bar comes up under the apple sign like its gonna work and then it disconnects my iPod and it says The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1611). And now under Capacity, Software Version, and Serial Number all show n/a. What happened to my Ipod and can it be fixed?
Hello, Andrea. This is what I just did with my shuffle.
Downloaded the newest updater - I think you were given the URL in the other thread. Then I installed the updater on my hard drive - this involved clicking the Continue button to get through a couple of screens.
Ran the updater. It was in my ' Applications/Utilites/iPod Software Updater.localized ' folder. I double clicked the icon for iPod Updater 2005-11-17.
Two screens came up, overlaid. The topmost was an information screen saying which software is in the updater. I quit that window. The window behind it was the application. Across the top it says to insert an iPod.
I plugged my shuffle in. The updater recognized my serial number and said the software needs updating. Since you said the program wouldn't allow you to choose Update, I did it to check. The software updated just fine. (Be sure to eject the shuffle once the Updater has gone through and finished its job.)
Right now iTunes is putting songs back on the shuffle.
Since the Updater doesn't have Continue buttons, I wonder if you only got as far as putting the Updater on your hard drive and haven't yet updated the shuffle?
Good luck

Please help! ASAP! I'm freaking out!
Try and force iPod into Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times. -
The title says it all. My phone simply will not respond to anything!!
did you let the update finish? You'll know when you see IOS 6 on the screen. If it did you can try a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release then wait for the phone to boot back up.

I pre-ordered Midnight Memories last week and it came out today. When I go to the album on iTunes it says purchased, but when I go to my Music it doesn't show up. I got the email that told me to click the link to download it, so I did and it isn't working. What should I do?
Same thing happened to me. Go to iTunes, then at the bottom of the page click on the account link, sign in to the account that you bought the music from then a box will pop up that asks if you want to download the album.
(I did this from my laptop, not my iPhone.) -
I updated Firefox to version 29.0.1 and now it won't let me set a home page.
When I open Firefox, it opens to the Trovi search page, which I don't want. I tried setting the home page by opening the site that I want and dragging its tab to the Home icon, but it didn't change the home page. I also cannot change the default search engine. Selecting a different search engine in the drop-down box does nothing.
It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
there for. Also,
'''''Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.'''''
Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
know what they are. -
I attempted to update my iphone5 to 7.1.1 There was an error and now my phone is erased. I have attempted to restore from the cloud and it propogates the apple id with an old one, and will not allow me to restore from a the cloud
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Also, do you remember what the error message said? -
I tried updating to the IOS6, there was an error, and now my phone is in recovery mode and i need to restore to factory settings. Is there anything I can do?

I was in the middle of the new update and it said there was a error and now my ipod touch will not turn on or off or anything it is just a picture of the apple.
thank you
KristyError 11 is a strange one...if you search the discussions for error 11 you will get a number of hits but none with a real resolution other than getting the iPod to restore, which you have done. And one person indicates this does not appear in the support data base...already found that out.
If you have restored, have a backup and can restore from that, you might try the update again, or wait for the next update whenever that comes out.
Not a very satisfactory answer but if it is working again... -
