3GS software upgrade now phone will not restore
I just tried to upgrade my 3GS to the latest software version for iphone. Went through the process, got to the end, then it said I had to restore the phone. I have now done it THREE times with no luck. I have the picture of connect the USB cable to itunes. HELP!
If you backed them up the way you would with any digital camera you would have them in your photo app on your computer. They should also be in your iPhone backup on your computer as of the last sync you did, or in iCloud if you were backing up to iCloud.

8900 System upgrade, now phone will not wake up unless I press the standby key.
Yesterday I endured the lengthy recommeded system upgrade on my 8900. Unfortunately, the upgrade did not go perfectly. It was unable to reinstall my chat logs from BB messenger, but I wasn't all that concerned about it.
However......now, when the backlight in the screen times out, I can only wake up the screen when pressing the standby button. No other key will wake up the screen. I checked my settings for screen and keyboard in the options folder, but there is no "default" key choice to wake up the screen. When the screen is black, and I press the "lock" key, it will lock, but the screen also does not "wake up" to show me it has been locked. Apparently only the standby key is being acknowledged once the screen is blacked out.
Is this a "default" setting for the new OS? Or, did the OS just install badly? I have also been told that if you cover the led indicator with your finger, the trackball ring and keys should light up....this also does not seem to be working.
Anyone have any idea what hte formal changes are to the new system upgrade, or is this a bad install, or worse, a bad phone that otherwise worked perfectly BEFORE the upgrade?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers!go into sys. preferences > energy > UNcheck 'put hard disk to sleep' on both tabs for charge and battery

i upgraded my iphone 4 ios and now my phone will not restore -
I have run into the same problem.
1. I was sharing the same itunes account with my wife for both of our iPhones 4s. She upgraded her phone to IOS7 two weeks before I did. After I did we ran into problems with messaging. Because we shared itunes account, both iphones were linked. When I sent text messages to someone, she got a copy. When they replied, she got a copy. I tried several ways to remove her phone from my profile, but would not work with new IOS7. I had to create a seperate itunes account for my phone in oirder to do so, as recommended on several help forums.
2. I backed up my phone onto itunes before setting up seperate itunes account. It showed that all the photos, contacts, notes, apps, etc. were synced and backed up.
3. I logged off itunes (former shared account- now wife's account), logged into new itunes account, and proceeded to restore my phone, while logged into my new itunes account, thinking this would delete my wife's phone from the profile as shared devices.
4. Phone would not restore by automatically syncing with itunes, by selecting back up recovery file to recover, or even by deleting everything and starting fresh as if it were a new phone, then trying to restore the data file as if it were recovering the backup info onto the new phone.
5. I get the same **** initialization loop sequence on the iphone every time, even after itunes goes through the recovery process, syncing all data, etc., multiple times. The iPhone loops through the grey screen "Welcome" in different languages, then asks which wireless server I want to connect to, enter passcode, then asks if I want to set up phone as a new device, backup from iCloud, or from iTunes backup. It does not matter which I select. It prompts me to connect to iTunes again. The point is, I have already been through these procedures and the iPhone cannot get past this point and enter run mode, showing me a screen with all my recovered settings.
For time being, just to have a functional phone, I have had to delete everything off the phone and set it up as a new device, back to factory settings. Then the phone will get past this and enter into run mode showing screen and apps with factory settings, no contacts, no email ( have to set up again), no voice mail ( have to reset).
Any ideas on how to over ride this reset mode in the iPhone, when all I want to do is download and recover settings from a backup in iTunes to the device? -
We restored her new iphone 5s from a backup on icloud from her previous iphone 5. it was restoring for two weeks! we called apple and eventually reset and started over. verizon had us do this again a week and a half later. still, now, its been over two and a half weeks and the phone will not restore from her icloud backup. she has alot of our pictures from the recent past holidays and pictures in icloud that we dont want to loose. along with all her itunes purchases.she is starting to get really upset. i know her backup was a fairly big one but if icloud sold her the storage to do the backup. why cant we get her phone to restore from this icloud backup? Is it the device? is that covered under our apple care? or under our phone warranty? Is it the size of the backup? im so lost and want to help her. I, writing this on the support community to see if you guys can help us. i really dont wat to spend another grand on a phone. thank you for your time. thanks for reading. happy holidays to you all..
Essentially it would mean another Internet connection yes, however it's your local network that I am wondering about and whether it could be the problem.

I upgraded to ios6.1.3 on ipod touch and after I completed a sync on my PC but I suppose it did not sync, because now it will not restore from a back up and wants to restore from another account that I have saved. Can I some how restore the apps to avoid having to pay for them again and having to recreate settings?
As I said, the backup that iTunes makes does not include apps (and music) if those items where not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you restored they will not be on the iPod.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

hi, i just updated my iphone 3gs to iso5 now it will not activate ive pressed ''try again'' alot but not getting anywere please help! i need my phone for work not had it too long and really annoyed lol thanks,
Sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS.
Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any device.
Note that you will void the warranty and loose official support by Apple.
Feel free to let Apple know at http://www.apple.com/feedback
Anyway, give a try resetting all your settings:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings -
Receiving error (-50) and my phone will not restore
Please help.. my phone will not restore the back up on my itunes. Whenever I plug in my phone it asks me to continue my restore but then I get the Error (-50) message. Any ideas on what I need to do?
From http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error9:
Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
Make sure you are not connected through a usb hub; connect directly to the usb port on your computer. Also be sure your usb to dock cable is good, that your case isn't interfering with a good connection to your phone and that the cable and connector on your phone are clean. Also try disabling any security software. -
i have reset my iphone attempting to download new software - but now it will not link up to my computer, i have reset my iphone attempting to download new software - but now it will not link up to my computer
And what would that be before I or anyone else wastes their time and yours providing options you have already tried without any change?
If you have tried all troubleshooting steps providing by Apple, call AppleCare or make an appointment an an Apple store if there is one nearby. You have no other option. -

Hello rblacktx,
If you changed your Apple ID (which is an email address), then you should be able to sign out of your iTunes Store account and sign back in with the updated information. Take a look at the resources below:

Try rebooting it and connect. Make sure you're connected directly to a USB port using the Apple USB cable. -
Phone will NOT turn on after synching & updating (or trying) to ios 6. ? ..... Is it REQUIRED to "restore" to factory setting? When researching, I read that you will get an option to restore from back up. I am not receiving any options on iTunes.... restore only & basically it is telling me I will lose everything.
I am reading on this site about the error I am getting and it wants me to change some files that I am not comfortable messing with. Mainly because it is like a foreign language. Will the store do this for me or tell me if it is neccessary?

Why did my charger from Verizon already go bad..bought another one and it went bad..now the phone will not charge..what a disappointment and a hassle..should have stuck with Apple..only had the phone 2 months. Hope they will exchange it!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is either a Phone issue or an Electrical issue in your home.! when charging Do you always use the same electrical outlet? or did you try others..
You will know or should know if there are any issues with your other Electronics.. that you Plug into it..
If it is the s5 which it sounds like it could be then the Local Verizon store at there Discretion will determined if replacement is needed you have a 1 year Manufactures Warranty that covers for things like what your Describing I would take it too your local store see if they'll get you a Replacement or you may have to go through Samsung..
But I would Try another OUTLET just to see if your phone charges with it.. And Good Luck b33 -
