Brand new iPhone froze while restoring!

I am really frustrated. I JUST picked up my iPhone 3 hours ago and tried to sync it with my iTunes. It suggested that I update my software to 3.1 so I did, then iTunes froze and I had to restart my computer. Now my iPhone is stuck on the iTunes screen and keeps insisting that I restore the factory settings when I plug it in. This would be no problem except it wont allow it to restore! It is my only phone so I cant call to talk to anyone and ATT said I have to go to the Apply store, but I live an hour away and it doesnt open until 10am tomorrow. I tried to hold off/home at the same time, but it always goes to the same iTunes screen. It wont let me do anything and I cant figure out how to fix it.

disable your antivirus/antitrojan guards and firewalls and try again... give it time don't rush it (there are not very good indicators in itunes that it is doing something and it is rather slow on windows)...
if it still fails try a re-install of itunes...

    Reset the iPhone. Press and hold the top and home buttons for 10+ seconds until it forcibly restarts. Then you should be able to either continue or Restore it using iTunes on your computer.

    Thanks for the straightforwardness roaminggnome - I wasn't sure if this problem qualified as deseving a reset. Unfortunately, for some reason I can't explain, your response remained undisclosed to me for a while, the next reply after yours took preference and I ended up doing as Meg St.Clair's susgested and initiated download, installation and syncing of Smartsync which is now taking ages to finish... If problem persists shall do the resetting and restoring.

  • Second (brand new) iPhone 4 stuck on "connect to iTunes" while trying to update.

    My iphone 4 was stuck on the "Connect to iTunes" screen, and NOTHING I did fixed it. I took it to the Apple store, got a brand new iPhone 4, and it bricked again while trying to update to iOS7. Same thing... stuck on "Connect to iTunes". I'm connecting to a PC.
    What else can I try??

    The iTunes version is 11.1.2.32, and there are no error messages. I'm trying to restore from backup eventually. But for now I can't even restore to factory settings. I've tried DFU mode, and that does not work, or at least I'm can't even be certain it's going into DFU mode.
    Windows gives and audible noise to signify that a USB device is connected, so I know that somewhere beneath the surface Windows knows it is connected, but iTunes doesn't react at all, and the Windows file explorer, and even the drive manager in adminstrative tools, don't even show a volume connected.

  • I just bought a brand new iPhone 4s from a Three store. When I used the cloud restore to put the data from my old 3gs onto the device, it's prompting me for an Apple ID login with an email address that isn't mine!

    I just got a brand new iPhone 4S on a contract from my local Three store. When I used the cloud restore to put the data from my old 3GS onto the device, it's prompting me for an Apple ID login with an email address (hotmail) that isn't mine! My old phone has NEVER had any Apple ID other than mine log into it, and the new one's a sealed box that I've opened and set up from scratch. Can anyone please explain this? I'm worried there's some kind of problem with my iCloud data being mixed with someone else's or something... Since I logged in with my own ID, it's downloaded the data perfectly fine, but I just got the Apple ID prompt again a moment ago with this same hotmail address in it... I'd be very grateful for any explanation!

    In iTunes on your computer, select the Purchased section under STORE in the left column. Click on the first track and choose "Get Info" from the "File" menu.
    In the "Summary" tab you'll see details of the purchaser of the track. Click Next to go through all your purchased music one by one until you find the ones you need to get rid of.
    Unfortunately, there are no smart playlist rules that can filter tracks by the purchaser that I know of.

    If you can't restore from your backup you could try 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor to see if you could extract your notes from the backup.

    Replacements via Apple tech support are usually refurbished units, not new stock, though none of us here can say with certainty what you will receive. But you will not be able to tell the difference between new stock and a refurbished unit, and refurbished units generally go through more extensive testing than do new units, so getting a refurb may well be better than getting new stock.

    Cannot restore my brand new iphone 4s ,got stuck in DFU mode and itunes shows error code (-1) please help?
    repeatedly tried from diffierent computers and the same error code pops up (error -1)

    That's a hardware problem which will require a trip to the Apple store for evaluation, unless your phone has been jailbroken, then it's a corrupt hosts file (and we can't help you with that here as it is against the forum's terms of use).

  • Iphone Shutting Down Automatically ,i had restored the Iphone to default just like a Brand new Iphone  but still getting the same issue

    Hello All

    Is it Software problem ?

    If you restore it as New it is most likely a hardware problem. Take it to an Apple store and they will replace it, as all iPhone 5's are still in warranty.

  • Brand new iPhone 4, and speakers doesn't work, did restore back to factory settings, not luck, any suggestions. This iPhone was purchased in US, currently in India, will Apple support in India?

    Brand new iPhone 4 (unlocked), got it activated yesterday, and speakers doesn't work, did restore back to factory settings, not luck, any suggestions. This iPhone was purchased in US, currently in India, will Apple support in India?

    There are many threads on this forum regarding speaker not working issues.  You might try searching them.  Hopefully you'll find the answer you need.
    BTW, the iPhone only has ONE speaker.

  • "Could Not Sign In" when Trying to Restore Icloud on a brand NEW Iphone 5S

    "Could Not Sign In" when Trying to Restore Icloud on a brand NEW Iphone 5S
    It says "there was a problem connecting to the server?"
    Wi-Fi in range, ID and Password Correct.... What is going on?

    Check that the email address is correct for your login. You'd be surprised how many times I've seen people see the prompt and just go with a password and not realize that the email address was wrong.
    Aside from that, you can try resetting your password via the iForgot app.
    If you forgot your password, you can easily recover or reset it using iForgot. For security reasons, Apple cannot reset your password for you. To protect yourself against unauthorized purchases to your credit card, do not give out your password to anyone.
    NOTE: If you attempt to sign in to the Apple Online Store numerous times with the wrong password, you will see the following error message: “This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons." To reset your account, use iForgot.

  • Brand new iphone wont update, stuck in recovery mode

    So I just bought a brand new iPhone 5S today, and when I plugged it into iTunes I saw that there was an update for iOS 7.1.2. When I tried to update my phone, iTunes downloaded the update but wouldn't apply it to the phone, instead giving me a "waiting for iPhone" message.  After a while I tried reconnecting the phone but iTunes stopped recognizing it and my phone was stuck with the iTunes logo and charger on-screen.  I then put my phone in recovery mode - no results.  I tried syncing it with another computer, but I can't restore the phone without it also installing 7.1.2, which doesn't work and just gets stuck on "preparing to restore iPhone."  Is there anything I can possibly do to make my new phone work again? Did 7.1.2 actually just kill my phone?

    Hello rph30,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    First, since your iPhone is not being recognized by iTunes, even though it is in recovery mode, please follow the appropriate link below for the computer you own:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Then ultimately go through the recovery process:

  • Brand new iphone 5 in recovery mode straight out of the box, is this normal?!

    Hi all,
    I got my new iphone 5 upgrade today, inserted sim card and plugged it in to my laptop to copy everything over from my 4 but when it's plugged in to either the laptop or the charger, the black screen with the silver apple just keeps flashing every few seconds and it won't power on.
    I've tried doing a reset (keeping home and lock buttons pressed) and it came up with the connect to itunes screen but this was while it was plugged in to the main charger so as soon as I unplugged it to plug it into itues the screen went blank and it's back to square one!!
    **update** the boyfriend managed to get it to the connect to itunes screen and itunes reported that it had detected an iphone in recovery mode and it needed restoring.
    So, it this normal to expect a brand new iphone to be in recovery mode?!
    Advice would be appreciated, many thanks

    Well first just to let you know the "connect to iTunes" screen or also knows as "the usb cable pointing to iTunes" means to connect it to iTunes to initially set the ipod up. Now if you already have done this or dont get the option to try forcing into recovery mode and then restoring the ipod followed in this article. Also make sure your computer and iTunes is up to date with the latest software.
    If not i would try connecting it to anther computer with iTunes 9.0.2 installed and then call Apple if that doesnt work since you purchased it from the Apple online store.

    Hope it helps!!
