Cant upgrade 7.0.6. After restoring changing again into recovery modus.

Trying now since 2 hours to upgrade my **** iphone but cant. Connected with my laptop but cant upgrade or restore it it still stays in recovery mode.

Slone,
I finally decided to turn this annoyance into an opportunity.  After a lot of experimenting I found that my iPad was just fine under 7.1 if I simply restored it as new.  I have a lot of time on my hands and I had 1424 apps on my iPad!  This is why every attempt to restore took so long.
I decided to restore as new, spend a day restoring the apps I really used.  Doing so gave me a quick iPad with only bout a quarter of the storage used.
Granted it was a pain in the arse, but I wrote it off as in the old days when you had to do this with windows 95 just to keep a stable system.
I DO have some data in a few files of the now unused backup but a quick google search finds a couple Mac programs out there that will allow you go extract audio recordings, app data files etc. from the backup.  I'll do that someday if I even miss the files I've probably forgotten that are there.
Anyway, there was nothing wrong with my hardware.  I think there were just some troublesome setup items that 7.1 didn't like.  Once set up as new, the ipad was fine.
Good luck!

    Why not? What have you tried? What happened when you tried?
    If there is an error message, what is the exact wording of that message?
    You need to provide more details before someone can offer a solution.

    Hello, avivday. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    In order to activate the device you will need to enter the Apple ID password for the account or remove the device from the Find My iPhone page of iCloud.  With and iCloud account your get a free email address and this could be the iCloud email associated with your Apple ID.  If this is the case simply enter the password for your Apple ID.  Here is some information to help you with this process.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • After restoring Time Machine Backup Recovery HD is missing...

    Hi,
    I startet with CMD + R intro Recovery HD, restored using my Time Machine Backup and now my Recovery HD is missing.
    I do know that Time Machine doesn't back up the Recovery HD, but I did not think that a restore would delete anything more than the previous Macintosh HD, before it is beeing restored.
    Apple needs to fix this. After any restore "Find my Mac" is useless without an existing Recovery HD.
    Anyone can confirm this?

    Yes, unfortunately, the Recovery HD doesn't get restored.  That's been requested, but hasn't happened yet, obviously.
    You have to reinstall Mountain Lion (that won't disturb anything else).  If you saved the installer, just run it again.  If not, and if your backups are on an external HD, there should be a copy of it there you can use to get a fresh copy of OSX and install it.  See the green box in Using the Recovery HD.
    Or, the CarbonCopyCloner app has a "disk center" that I believe can create one.  I use CCC, but haven't done that myself, but have seen a number of posts saying it does work.

    thanks

    Hi activenew
    Thank you for your question.
    After we recover the exchange successfully by using “Setup /m:RecoverServer” cmdlet, the exchange server database is in the dismount status, then we will restore the exchange database by your backup tool. After we restore database, the database
    is mount, then our client can connect exchange server and send/receive email .
    We can refer to the follow link:

    We can also refer to recovering an exchange database：

  • After restoring Windows with HP Recovery Discs Only 76gb of Hardrive is available

    With Disk management if shows:
    200mg unallocated/C:76GB NTFS (Healthy(boot,page file, Crash dump,Partition)/SDV 400MB FAT32 (Health system,active primary part)/398GB Unallocated.  C: Simple basic NFTS 76GB and SDV simple basic FAT32 396mg. And 390 GB unallocated? How do I get the 390GB dedicated to Volume C:? A display of computer shows only C: with 75.9GB with only 16.7GB free. No other drives
    This is a 500GB Hard Drive.  
    HP Support Assistant shows disk drive 1 is 465.76 model ST9500420ass SMART Staus as GOOD and a volume C\: size 76GB 16.8GB free

    I knew that I would end up having to order the discs from HP!
    The logic of computer manufacturers' escapes me. The recovery console has the option of making back-up discs -- this is convenient for the user. It doesn't work properly for no apparent reason -- this is an inconvenience. And only one set can be made. Aren't these things supposed to be thoroughly tested before the products ship? 

  • Time Machine  Problem with Apple Programs after Restore from A&I

    Ok here is my situation. I originally did an Archive and Install before Installing Leopard. I was having performance issues with Photobooth and Time Machine. So, I decided to back everything up and do an Full Restore from Time Machine. I resotred from the Utility menu within the Leopard boot disc. However, after the restore ALL of my Apple programs were missing from Finder and the Dock. Including mail,itunes,photobooth,keynote etc..All iwork,ilife and everything else that came pre bundled. Now, I did an install of Leopard after the Restore (upgrade) and I got the basic apps back. My question now is where my other apps are hiding?? Are they somewhere within the previous system folder from the original Archive and Install?? (I havent been able to check because i'm now at work when the possibility dawned on me)
    Does anyone know where these programs would be and how I can restore them?
    Also, my prebundled software (Final Cut Express HD) that came pre bundled with My imac G5 originally is asking for a product serial number before it can launch. However, i never had a serial key for it.
    Can someone please help and shed some light on this situation.

    Additional Info:
    Imac G5
    1Gb Ram
    Original Install was Archive and Install
    Did Full Backup With Time Machine
    Restore Under Utility in Leopard Boot Disc
    All Apple programs were missing
    Did an Upgrade>Install of Leopard after Restore and got back the basic Apps like mail, Garage Band, iTunes etc... However, all iLife was gone as well as Soundtrack and iwork 08...not to mention my Final Cut Express HD now wants a serial # that I do not have because it was pre installed originally with the iMac G5
    Where did these programs go?
    How do I get them to restore?
    fyi-- My dock where the programs were located (in addition to Applications folder) just had a bunch of ? marks on it where the icons would usually be.
    Is it a result of the Archive and Install and the Applications are in the previous system folder?
    I cant figure it out because when I search for the programs in FInder all I find is files for the programs and cache files etc... But not the actual Application icon

  • After restoring mini my storage space is decreased

    Something happened to my mini and I ended up having to restore it. Without realizing everything erased. When transfering songs back onto my pod from my library, I noticed that I'm full on space and yet only have 289 songs, 20.8hrs, 3.75 GB used and 16.2MB free. Before restoring I never even came close to maxing out. Now I can't put anything else on it without taking something off. What is the deal?

  • Iphone went into recovery mode after trying to update to 5.1

    I went to upgrade to 5.1 and my iphone went into recovery mode and will not work unless i restore it, if i do this will i lose everything!?

    dfu mode
    How to enter iPhone DFU mode
    Connect the iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes
    Turn the iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone)
    Hold down the sleep/power button and home button together for exactly 10 seconds, then release the power button
    Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected
    When you are in DFU mode your iPhone screen will be completely black
    Even though the screen is black, that doesn’t mean the device can’t be interfaced with either iTunes or a custom firmware client (for jailbreaking, etc).
    Remember that if you see the restore logo, iTunes logo, or any message on the iPhone screen, you are not in DFU mode but standard Recovery Mode. Again, DFU mode is signified by having a completely black screen on the device. If anything else is the case, repeat the steps above until you enter into DFU mode successfully.
    Exit DFU mode on iPhone
    The simplest way to exit out of DFU mode is to hold down the Home and sleep/power buttons on the iPhone while connected to iTunes. Then just hit the power button as and this should reboot the device as usual.
    And if you’re curious, yes this works all the same on an iPod touch.

  • How to restore an iPhoto Library after hdd change?

    Hi all!
    I just had my old 120gig hdd changed on my MBP to a 500 one and all my files have been restored on there apart of my iPhoto library under Lion.
    I also had a backup done on time machine but unable to find the file of the library to restore it to iPhoto.
    What can I do to find my pics back in iPhoto? Are they lost for ever?
    Thx a lot in advance for your answers!
    Tenbee

    Well I've been backing up my computer with TM for about 2 years now every few months now.
    About a year ago my motherboard didn't want to do it's job anymore so got it changed...restored the computer then with TM but somehow got a prob doing that for some weird 'user' problem, been told that was normal since the TM could not recognize the new motherboard.
    Now when I enter TM i cant find this long sought after iphoto library file, but when i go into my TM 'manually' through finder, i see under 'users' 2 different users which are both mine, one with my first name, the other one with firstname followed by familiy name.
    I then found out that the library was in only 1 of those 'users', it also shows 35gig, and if i double click it to open it says it is a TM backup and cant open it just like that, so here i am back to square 1 trying to find a file not appearing in TM...

  • I cant hear Voice during call after i upgrade 7.1 i use iPhone 4

    I cant hear Voice during call after i upgrade 7.1 i use iPhone 4

    Hey there Goesdhar,
    It sounds like you are not getting sounds from your receiver on your phone. I recommend the troubleshooting from the followint article named:
    iPhone: Receiver and call audio quality issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5196
    Increase the volume during the call.
    Make sure nothing is blocking the receiver. If you're using a protective case or display film, remove it and try again.
    Make sure nothing is plugged into the headphone jack or the dock connector.
    Check the receiver opening to see if it is clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush.
    Try another location with better signal. If the audio issue happens only when on a call, it could be due to the location.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or a car kit, try turning off Bluetooth on your device. Learn more about troubleshooting Bluetooth connections.
    Restart the iPhone.
    Make sure your device is up to date.
    If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • I cant activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade to 5.1.1

    i cant activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade to 5.1.1

    I am experiencing the same issue and could use some advice:
    Yesterday I plugged my Iphone 3GS into my computer and I selected in Itunes to update to the latest IOS 5.1.1.
    Before I did this the iphone worked correctly, and after I did this it will not let me access the apps at all. I went to the Apple store and the rep told me I needed to have a working AT&T sim installed in it to complete the upgrade. I went to the AT&T store and had them put one of their working sim card in and it would not work.  The AT&T rep said he has seen several people with Iphone 3GS who updated to the latest IOS 5.1.1 whos phones will not recognize the sim card and thus will not let you get to the apps. 
    Does anyone know how to correct this problem?
