4s ios 7 won't restore and the screen flickers now

I updated iTunes, then backed up my iPhone before installing ios 7.  When it got done updating, it goes to the "Set up your iPhone" screen and gives you the choice to set up as new phone, restore backup from iCloud or restore backup from iTunes.  When you select restore from iTunes it says connect to iTunes and then says connected to iTunes when it's plugged into the computer but it doesn't do anything.  When you select restore backup from iTunes, it goes through the process like it is restoring but everytime it finishes, it goes back to the "Set up your iPhone" screen.  In addition, the very bottom of the screen now flickers continuously.  There were no issues with the phone before updating today.

After messing with it for hours, it will let me set up the iPhone as a new phone and the phone works but obviously i have lost all data, contacts, etc.  It will also let me restore to a backup that is a year old and it will work but I lost all data since then. It will not let me restore to today's backup prior to downloading the update though.  Any help would be appreciated

  • My phone won't charge and the battery is now dead, it is not the charger, what can I do?, My phone won't charge and the battery is now dead, it is not the charger, what can I do?

    MY iphone4 won't charge and the battery is now dead. It is not the charger, as I have two and they both charge my iPad. How can I fix my phone??

    This sounds like it could be something to do with the pin connector in the problematic phone - or something internally at least.
    I'm no expert but I do know that you should seek help from official Apple store. Do not be tempted to open this up yourself as it could invalidate any warranty you might have.
    My advice is to take it to your nearest Apple shop. They can look at this and replace if within warranty?

    Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
    Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
    Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
    Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
    You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
    BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.

    Maybe you can explain a little more your problem. What you posted is not clear.
    What do you mean by "block?"
    What does "assume the keys" mean?

  • My iPad mini touchscreen won't work and the screen is stuck on Choose A Wifi Network....Can Somebody Please Help Me

    MY Ipad Mini Touchscreen Is Not Responding. It Won't Let Me Type In My Password When I Tried It Then Said That It Was Disabled For 1 Minute. Then I Tried It Again It Said Disabled For 5 Minutes. then I Tried To Reset It, I've Tried Recovery Mode NOTHING! Now The Screen Is Stuck On Choose a Wifi Network...Can Someone Help Me Please

    If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • My ipod touch 4g got wet today and the screen is now very dim.

    I used it like normal afterwards and then i locked the screen and now it can barely see anything. Am I SOL?

    Place the iPod in  sealed container with a desiccant like uncooked rice for a couple of days to dry the iPod. Ypo not use/charge till dry.
    If still problem :
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • I dropped my iPhone and the screen is now shot so I had to switch to an old phone I had. But everyone with iPhones can't text me they all send as iMessages. Does it have something to do with my iPad?

    Help me

    Apple still has your mobile phone number associated to the iMessages account.  Normally this wouldn't be a problem as iMessages will failover to an SMS if they were not recieved but if you have an iPad still recieving messages for that phone number it won't fail.
    The fix is easy...  just go into your Settings on the iPad and remove your phone number from iMessages.  It is under the Send & Recieve option.

  • Did a factory reset on my phone and the screen is now stuck with apple symbol

    I have done a master reset/restore facoty settings on my iphone and am now stuck on a screen with the apple icon

    I had that same thing happen to me when I was updating my iPhone to iOS 5! What I did was I just kept resetting and resetting and holding down the home and power buttons until 3 in the morning. (ok, maybe it was only midnight but it sure FELT like 3 AM!) Anyway, I would just keep at it until it decides it wants to cooperate. Mine eventually did.

  • I am trying to buy an app. I had to update my credit card info. It won't take the update and the screen is frozen - I cannot go back into the app store.

    I am trying to buy an app on my Iphone5. I needed to update my credit card info. It wont take the updated info and the screen is now frozen. I cannot go back into the app store

    It's a network issue, not an account balance issue. Troubleshoot your network or just restart your iPod and/or router, try connecting to the Store a bit later, or try the download in iTunes on your computer and then sync the purchase to your device.

  • Is there a way to detect the event when device goes to sleep and the screen blackens?

    I want to detect the event when the iOS device goes to sleep and the screen blackens?
    Is there any way to do it?

    Hi,
    A small idea, please check whether it will work or not.
    You can achieve this by using combination of DNS server and reverse proxy server.( Customized apache). Make 'A' record for www.abcd.com to reverse proxy server IP address in your DNS.
    So it will resolve your reverse proxy IP address for requests.
    Configure appche to accept incoming request for www.abcd.com and points towards www.abcd.com/parameters.
    I think this will solve your problem.  Only one condition is that proxy server will communicate with www.abcd.com on behalf of client.
    Follow the link for configuration of reverse proxy server

  • My 3 week old iphone 5 has fallen on to a rug and the screen is cracked! I have an appointment at the apple store but i have to travel a bit to get to it. Will the replace the phone or send it away? I don't want to travel for nothing.

    I have recently got a new iphone 5 and I dropped it on to the rug on top of wooden flooring and the screen is now cracked. I have made an appointment at my nearest apple store but i still have to travel quite a bit. Will apple replace this phone or send mine away? I don't want to travel for nothing.

    If you are in the US ,some Apple genius bars are replacing screens at this time if  your local store isn't offering that service or you are not in the US  there will be an out of warranty exchange unit for $229
    make sure you back up everything as if you exchange your iPhone will go and the Genius bar do not provide a backup service
