Each of the colours at the bottom of the screen are labelled, audio, photos etc. What does the each individual label show the memory used is?

I am in process of restoring an iphone4 to its default settings after getting approval from my carrier to unlock it. Using itunes, it is saying "verifying iphone restore" and hasbeen stuck there for about 2 hours.

I amtrying to restore an iphone4 to its original default settings after obtaining approval from my carrier. I am using itunes and following instructions given. It has been stuck on "verifying iphone restore for about 1 1/2 hours with no movement in the bar across the phone itself. Task manager is showing very little activity. I have internet connectivity. Is this an issue here or with apple? Thanks.

Thanks. Finally unhooked the phone and then tried again. This time it went into recovery and reloaded all as it should have and gave me the "unlocked" message which was what i wanted to see! thanks

HT201263 iPhone restores and then goes right back into recovery mode

Overnight, my iPhone 4 went into recovery mode on its own. I plugged it into iTunes, which detected a phone in recovery mode and asked if I wanted to restore it. I went ahead and clicked restore and the phone went through the whole process. I received a notice on my PC saying that the restore was complete and to wait until prompted to unplug my phone. I never received a completed sign and the phone just goes back into recovery mode and I eventually get another notice saying that iTunes detected a phone in recovery mode.
Is there any hope for my phone or is it toast?

No one does. It's an iPhone 4. Totally and completely out of warranty. I use Straight Talk for my service carrier so I don't even have any sort of support from AT&T.
If I contact Apple, they will charge me $20 just to troubleshoot. Hence me posting in the community. I was hoping someone would have some further information that might assist me in determining whether there was any chance of getting the phone in working order again or if it is toast.
If the problem is hardware, like you indicated at first, it is most likely not even worth spending the money to have the hardware fixed (if even possible) because it is an iPhone 4, not under warranty, and pretty outdated.

I just did iPhone restore and lost everything...can I get it back? old iPhone

HELP!!!!! I just lost all the info on my Dad's iPhone. system restore erased everything. Since it is an unlocked phone, I don't know what to do.
My Dad has a really old version of the iPhone. It was unlocked for use with Tmobile. Because of this, he has never updated or synced anything, for fear of losing his contacts. We just bought him a new laptop for father's day, and in my effort to sync his contacts to the computer our worst nightmare happened....we lost all of his contacts. I was updating the software and without me knowing it restored the system and erased everything. Now I can't open anything - only emergency calls. iTunes says the SMS card is not supported. I had backed up right before (but not sure if the contacts were backed up). Is there any way to get it back? If so, how?
Any help is much appreciated!

Well, erasing everything is what a restore will do. You mention that the device was unlocked and then you say that updating it gives you the message the SIM (not SMS) is not supported. This is indicative of a device that was jailbroken or hacked to be unlocked, and your updating it has locked it back to the original carrier it is locked to.
If the device was backed up, you should have a backup to restore to, however if you have locked it back to the original carrier, the only way to activate the phone again is with one of their SIM cards, or ask them if you qualify to unlocked the device. Only the carrier the device was locked to can authorize an unlock.
If the phone was jailbroken, then you cannot get any further assistance per the forum rules. Good luck.

Please help--iphone restore and getting pictures off the phone

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. My friend's iphone 3GS (OS 3.1.2) has a message on the screen that says "Restore needed" and she can't get beyond this message to get to what is on her phone. A restore would wipe her phone of all data and the problem is that she has pictures on her iphone (not on the camera roll, but in the picture app) that she wants to keep and she erased the backup in itunes and doesnt have a backup of the photos in her iphoto on her mac. Is there anyway to download the photos she has on the iphone in the picture app before she does the restore? I told her I don't think there is, but any suggestions?

Thanks for your answer. I don't have the iphone in front of me or her computer, just the info she told me, but I gather the problem is that she got all the pics on her iphone using her office computer and then deleted it all off her office computer once everything was on the iphone (she hasnt synced in a long time so I am guessing that is why she has 3.1.2 on there) so the iphone is the only backup of those pictures and now she wants to find a way to save them. Any possibilities or should I just tell her they are lost for good when she does the restore?

My bookmarks were restored and show under the Bookmarks tab, but when trying to show bookmarks in the sidebar with View tab, nothing shows up.

I was trying to fix a "Blue Screen of Death" issue and used a scrubber to fix the registry and it also deleted all cookies, etc. I cannot get the bookmarks to show in the sidebar using "View". It looks like all of the Bookmarks are present and working in the "Bookmarks" tab. Can you help?

Try this:
Start in the Safe Mode window, check mark '''Reset Toolbars and controls''', then click '''Make Changes and Restart'''.

13th Iphone Restore and Reset

Just finished about an 10 mins ago. Iphone seems to be working great Now (At the moment) Still waiting for an UPDATE though. But touch wood after 13 times it seems OK. Result.

13 times is a charm. I hope it stays working for you until a software update. I know your in the UK, but an AT&T rep told me to power off the phone every once and a while. When powered back on it receives a signal update. Don't know if that is true, but will try it.

Iphone fails at verifying iphone restore

I am using windows 7, I have updated my iTune to 10.5 and backed up my iPhone 4 and started updating phone but it failed when verifying iphone restore and it gave error 6 tried every step but still not successfull can some help please as I cannot use my phone.

I'm having the same problem. I'm using the same usb outlet that I use all the time. I've used it with all other updates, accessories, etc. I did change the cord to make sure that it wasn't that, but I don't have any other outlets to try. I read on another post to try the outlets on the back of the machine, but my laptop only has the 2 on the side.
I posted a similar question myself... Hopefully someone will have a suggestion

Ipod wont restore and update. network connection timed out. help!???

I restored my ipod touch 2g 8gb. I went into itunes and followed the steps. I clicked restore and update and it goes through the whole process and gets all the way to the end and it says ipod software update (processing file) then a pop up comes up telling me "there was a problem downloading the software for the ipod. the network connection timed out". i've tried it in different usb ports and i've turned off the firewalls. still nothing. does anyone have a solution for me?? i've been trying for a few days now and i've look all over the internet to fix this issue. i'm at the point i'm just annoyed so i'm posting here for help. any help would be awesome! thanks

When you get anything that says your network connection timed out it either means you lost internet connection or there is something blocking the connection between the computer and the servers that it is trying to connect to.
If you have a solid internet connection and can browse to websites fine it's either an anti-virus program or a firewall on the computer OR a firewall in the router's settings that you use to connect to the internet.
Reconfigure any security software to allow Apple's servers to pass.
Useful information for configuring your security software:
IMPORTANT: iTunes must be allowed to contact Apple using the following ports and servers:
port 80
port 443
phobos.apple.com, deimos3.apple.com, albert.apple.com, gs.apple.com, itunes.apple.com, ax.itunes.apple.com
For a more complete list of ports used by Apple products see "Well known" TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products.
iTunes also contacts VeriSign servers during an iPhone restore and activation:
evintl-ocsp.verisign.com
evsecure-ocsp.verisign.com
For more information see Update and restore alert messages on iPhone and iPod touch
Temporarily disable or uninstall your security software
If the current available version of your security software is incompatible with iTunes, you can disable the security software and test if it is the source of the issue. It might also be necessary to temporarily uninstall security software after making sure you can reinstall it and note any required licenses. A temporary deinstallation might be required because parts of some security software remain active in the background though they appear to be deactivated.
To reduce any security risks that security software is designed to prevent, consider making sure all files needed to reinstall it are available and disconnect network connections before uninstalling security software. Should this not be possible, such as if a download without active security software is required, that required step should be the only process completed without security software. For assistance in checking your configuration, disabling, or uninstalling your security software, please contact the manufacturer.
Once disabled or uninstalled, perform only the steps required to verify your issue has been resolved. Complete whatever update, restore, syncing, back up, activation, or other task you were troubleshooting. Once that task is complete, install and configure compatible security software to ensure your PC is protected.
If it isn't a program or software on the computer contact your Internet Service Provider and/or Router Company to configure or disable the firewall in the router settings.
To isolate the issue to this you can also try disconnecting the router and plugging your computer directly in to the modem but this does not help for troubleshooting time-out issues directly on any apple mobile devices only if you are syncing or going through iTunes on the computer.
