I just replaced my iPhone 5 because of a cracked face. I backed up the old phone to iTunes. When I tried to restore my data off of iTunes to the new phone, I got an error message saying that iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available on the new iPhone. Now what?
I have Apple Care+, but I'll be darned if I can find any way to contact anyone at Apple to talk to about this. They take your money, but make darned sure they don't have to support you unless you jump through a bunch of hoops first, like this site.I've done a restore.. The phone was completely wiped back to factory settings.. It then tells me there isn't enough space on the phone to restore from back up? How when the phone is empty?!

"iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available of the iPhone"??????
Before updating to iOS6, I backed my iPhone up onto my PC, as I am aware that when updating an iPhone things like notes, contacts etc tend to disappear. However, after the update was complete, when I tried to 'restore back up' I keep getting the message "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available of the iPhone". I don't understand why this message keeps coming up, because I have 20.96GB free space. All my contacts have gone, and I urgently need them for work. What can I do to solve this problem???
I suggest you delete some stuff off your phone so free up some memory and try again

TS4036 itunes could not restore the iphone because not enough free space is available on the iphone
On April 13, 2013 i plugged my phone in and itunes immediately started an upgrade on my iphone 4 operating system to ios 6.1.3. ONce it completed my phone was restored to factury settings. When i tried restore my backup to the phone, i got the following message
itunes could not restore the iphone because not enough free space is available on the iphone
I am so ****** because i can't figure out a way to at least get my photos from this back...its all lost
I spoke with an Apple rep that day named Jamie who was supposed to help me retrieve my data, but we couldn't figure it out and he asked me to call back in a day or so to get it done. When I called back, i left several messages and got no response. Now i try calling support and they want money before they will talk to me.
Somebody please help.
ThanksIf you restored your phone as new there should be plenty of free space on it. Check Settings>General>Usage to see how much free space you have.
Is your backup on your computer or in iCloud? -
I backed up to my PC and attempted restore but I keep getting an error message that "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available." I have a 32GB iPhone; only 13GB used!!! HELP! iCloud backup/restore did not work either! How can I resolve this problem to restore from back up.
If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades. -
Can't restore from backup because not enough space on iphone? huh?
I am trying to simply restore my iphone from a backup on my laptop because I accidentally deleted an app of mine with important data. When I go to restore the iphone though from a backup it tells me that it can't restore b/c not enough space on iphone. I don't see how that makes sense since if it's a backup from the same iphone I'm using, how can there ever not be enough space to restore it? I've also already searched other peoples problems and my hard disk has plenty of space on it where itunes and the backups are installed. I've tried moving the temp and tmp folders but that didn't do anything.
I restored to an older backup which seemed to go through but now when I then try to restore to a newer backup it says on the phone "restore complete" and then it gives me same error message on computer. When I look at phone it seems to have restored my notes and contacts, but not my SMS or my calendar.

I can't restore my phone because the password is lost
I can't restore from my backup because I lost my password. How can I retrieve that password?
You cannot. If you can the encrypted backup will be useless.

I can't restore my phone because iCloud under old email address
Tried updating phone last night and for some reason it stopped and froze on the plug into iTunes sign. Done this and after 3 hours it finally got recognised by iTunes. This morning I tried to restore phone but iCloud is under old email address and won't let me log in because password can not be remembered. Tried resetting password but it's saying my DOB is incorrect, which it isn't!
Please someone help as I'm pulling my hair out and need all my details back on phone for work. XxHello Catmac82,
It sounds like the date of birth you are entering is returning as incorrect when you are trying to reset your password. You can also answer your security questions to reset the password as well:
If you know the answers to your security questions
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
Click "Reset your password."
Enter your Apple ID and click Next.
Select "Answer security questions" as your authentication method. Click Next.
Select the birth date associated with your Apple ID, then click Next to begin answering your security questions.
After answering your security questions, you will be asked to enter and confirm your new password. Click Reset Password when done.
From: Apple ID: If you forget your password

After updating my 3gs to ios5.0.1, I can not restore my phone. It says session failed after about 20 seconds. It appears to be a restore point available. What should I do?
Hi all,
I work for an Enterprise with around 30 devices so far, 5 of them have been upgraded to iOS 5.01 and we are having this issue, the steps below are appearing, these are both on iphone and ipad 2's with exchange 2003:-
- Exchange Calendars not sync'ing, but Yahoo account working fine.
- Create an appointment on the ipad / iphone and this sync's with Exchange.
- Close the Calendar and re-open the appointment disappears, but stay's within Exchange.
- Meetings created within the Exchange Calendar do not synch with the iphone / ipad.
This is starting to cause a lot of issues.
Thanks

My IPhone is set up with an internet downloaded firmware of ios7 because my phone would not restore, the system has failed and I had to do a manual erase fro within the phone. My computer will not accept the phone because they say it's a "Developer?" Help. I cannot not even get passed the activation step on the computer or phone because it will not activate the device.
Hello buddyacw
You would have to restore the iPhone. Download the latest version of iTunes and then follow the steps in the article below to get it working again.

I bought new i phone model 4S from 3 comunication store wingate house 93-107 shaftbury Avenue,london.W1D 5DA.tel no. 020 7851 0817 on 30/sep/2012.my problems is, I can not activate my phone because i stay in malaysia ( when i connect using the sim card of malaysia DIGI line) it does not read malaysia sim card.Pls help me, how should i use this malaysian digi sim card and deactivate this 3 comunication sim card so i can use any type of sim card in any countries.
The phone details are as follows:
Serial no : 1151NVQLIKA.
My last 6 digit no in my sim 020287.
My 3 no 07450453838
My sim no 8944200009770020287You probably won't be able to use a Malaysian sim card in your phone. If you purchased the phone from 3, then it is probably carrier locked to 3 and it won't work with any other sim card.
Nobody here can do anything to help you. You need to contact 3, so you need to ring them or go back to the store where you purchased the phone. Not a lot you can do other than activate with the original 3 sim card in situ so that the phone will work.
You can try activating the phone with the 3 sim card and then try swapping them, but I suspect that the phone is carrier locked to 3 and you need to contact them for help. Noone else can do anything really except them. -
download ios 7, and the location function is off, I can not access because I forgot the key constraints, I can not restore the iphone because I can not find iphone app access
If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod), however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll need to enter in your Apple ID and password to activate the device after restoring:
