Cannot restore after updating to iOS 5

Hey guys,
I did all the updates last night both iTunes & my iPhone 3Gs. While the phone was updating my computer crashed, however the phone still says it is on the new operating system. I've tried a restoring the backup I did before updating the phone, however that back up just freezes. I left it connected to my computer for 4 hours last night and the loading bar didn't move at all. The only back up that is working is one from 5 months ago so all my current stuff is missing. I've tried force restore and nothing is working. I've just removed my sim card to see if that works. I've also noticed the iPhone itself is overheating. Please help if someone has had this problem and its been solved.
Thankyou kindly

i had to start my phone from scratch so everything is missing, because the I have found my backup I want to restore to has become corrupted, possibly because my computer froze during the back up and update process. Since I have updated to the new os I have noticed everything is lagging and taking a lot longer to load.

It won't restore after Updating to IOS 6

After updating to IOS 6 my ipod shows the following message constantly "itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode you must restore this ipod", I need HELP!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPhone 4 cannot start after update to iOS 7.1

Any idea what can I do to fix it? I don't have proof of purchase (lost long time ago). I tried hard reset (holding power button for 20+seconds) and problem still exist.
Anyone have this problem too?

Thx, but it didn't helped - after reset iPhone still crash on apple logo, and I cannot restore with iTunes, because iTunes didn't recognized my phone.
I can go tommorow to the iDream, but can they help me if I don't have my proof of purchase?

IPhone 4 won't restore after updating to ios 5!!!

After restoring iphone 4 with ios 5, itunes is stuck in "set up your iphone" mode asking me to restore from backup however whenever i do restore it goes back to the same screen asking me to do it again, all my contacts photos and other info syncs but no apps and cant use phone on itunes because it keeps telling me to restore from backup.. please help!!

So I went to the apple store today since I was having the same problems, they reset it back to factory settings. Plugged in Iphone to laptop and the same two options came up: 1. set as new Iphone or 2. restore. So I restored thinking it would then synch...nope.
They told me if I didn't work to bring back my Iphone and laptop, it might be a problem with Itunes.

IPhone won't restore after update to iOS 5

I recently tried to upgrade to iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 but whenever I do, I receive the message: "iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPhone “Thundercracker”. Would you like to restore this iPhone again now?" I've tried several times, with no interruptions, and can not get the iPhone 4 to restore from backup. The last backup was made immediately before the update and the iPhone was pretty full before upgrading.
Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas on how to get my information back?

When I tried to update to ios5 it gave me an error as well and stayed on the iTunes screen saying the device is in recovery mode along with an error number. Now,I had gone to apple store previously with this issue when tryin to restore my iPhone only. They said that sometimes the software might be crashing because of an app. The solution is to restore it as a New Phone. Then Put everything back manually. So when I was on the process of installing the new iOS 5 the error seemed to be similar and apple gives you all the troubleshooting codes and fixes. I had to put a command before proceeding. I did that and it seemed to work for one of the iPhones, I was updating 2 iPhones at the time. Then for the other one when it stayed on the iTunes screen I just disconnected and connected the USB cable again and instead of doin update I did restore first and then update and that solved the problem. After restoring it will automatically update and put the information you had before the update back to your iPhone .

HT5957 iPhone 4 requires restore after updating to iOS 7.0.2

There is no such thing as a "Factory Unlocked iPhone "
They are either locked to a carrier who may at some stage offer unlocking
or sold direct to a user by Apple (from their own Stores or online .)
Those iPhones are NOT locked
Where did you get your iPhone
If from Apple try this

Hello HaithamOkeely,
We've an article that provides the following troubleshooting steps that may help stabilize your iPhone.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

I cannot search through messages after updating to IOS 6.1.2

After updating to IOS 6.1.2 i cannot search for messages

Hello jrobbertse,
I use the search feature in Messages often, and I would be concerned if it wasn't working as well. I found some steps you can take to help resolve this issue:
Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone
The article is for a frozen and unresponsive iPhone, so the step to recharge the iPhone is not relevant to you. All the other steps in the article would apply to your situation though. Before you go through the step to "Restore iPhone," you should definitely back up the contents of your iPhone:

I purchased three autobooks from itunes last weekend and after updating my ios to 7 they no longer appear. I looked at my purchse history and they are not showing in my purchase history. I do have the receipts for the charge. How do I restore these?

"I did make a full back up of my phone prior to updating the iOS"
Itunes content is not incliuded in the backup that itunes performs.
Audiobooks are not part of icloud and cannot be redownloaded.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception.

Hello alicelan,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with device errors. You may want to consider restoring your device to factory settings to resolve the issues you've described:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
Restoring iOS software deletes all your data and content from your device, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar info.
Before you restore your device
Make sure you’re using the latest version of iTunes.
Use iTunes to back up your device. Transfer and sync any additional content to your computer.
Turn off Find My iPhone in Settings > iCloud on your device to disable Activation Lock.
Restore your iOS device
Connect your iOS device to your computer using the cable that came with it.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. In the Summary panel, click Restore.
Click Restore again to confirm that you want to restore your device to factory settings and delete all data and content. iTunes will download the iOS software file and restore your iOS device.
After your iOS device is restored to factory settings, it will restart. Once it does, you’ll see the "Slide to set up” welcome screen. Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. You can set up your device as new or using a previous backup. If your iOS device has cellular service, it will activate after you restore.
Learn more
If you get an error message, find out how to fix most update and restore errors.
If your iOS device with cellular service doesn’t activate after restoring, find out how to fix activation issues.
If your iOS device restarts repeatedly or isn’t responding, for example if you see a stopped progress bar or no progress bar, put the device into recovery mode and restore it again.

Iphone 5 VERY SLOW after updating to IOS 6.1.3. What is wrong? Restoring it does nothing.

My Iphone 5 is miserably slow after updating to IOS 6.1.3. I've tried restoring it and nothing works. What happened? It's even restarting over and over on its own

I guess it of no use...It is with subscription....batteries issues will not be entertain....Lots of reasons. Company will not entertain batteries issues unless is really serious.
Anyway, I will continue to use it with bare Apps...I will not buy any apps, no movies, musics...cause it would last me a day. I will definitely not buy any Apps.
the last verison 6.02 was definitely better at battery management...this version is really bad. Do not know why some users said 6.10 improved the battery....but mind did not.
Forget about buying Apple products again...this is mind first time using a smartphone (as a gift too)...and how disappointed I am. Truely, if company wants users to use their products, they should give decent batteries...the IP5 has the same battery as the 4S and 4S last at least 2 days.
With all the hype and marketing that Apple is making...a decent battery should be provided.... I am not asking for anything more....what is the point of having the most advance IOS or hardware..when batteries cannot give users a decent life (2 - 3 days are good enough) not 1 or less day....By the Way, IP5 isn't cheap. It is were, I would not waste my time posting here....
This is really hopeless and pointless
Disappointed, really disappointed and displease. anyway to get back version 6.02..cos 6.10 really hopeless for me.

I cannot connect to ITunes after updating to IOS 7.0.2,cannot update my apps nor download new apps. When I tap the quick test for IOS diagnostics it says it cannot verify the ticket number.

After updating to IOS 7.0.2 in my Ipad mini I cannot update my apps nor download new apps . It says "cannot connect to ITunes. " it's been almost 3 wks now. I have tried resetting it and trying other options like changing the DNS to just 8.8.8 etc but to no avail. I try to run the IOS diagnostics but it couldn't verify my ticket number. Everytime I open my mail it cannot identify server identity " Apple.imap.yahoo.com." But I just clicked "continue" anyway so I could get my mail.

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.
