Failed to restore iphone (-54)

Hi,
I just upgraded my IPhone OS to IOS 5.1.1 from version 4.3.3.
Once upgraded, I encountered multiple failure to restore my previous backup before the upgrade.
I would like to know how can I restore my previous backup as I noticed the contacts information store in the iCloud are not the updated one.
I lost other important personal data too.
Hope to hear from you.
Thanks.
-Karen

Could you be a little more specific?

  • Error message (-1) after failing to restore Iphone

    I have tried to seach what the -1 could mean, and am unsure, I have to restore it, as it comes up in itunes as "Iphone is in recovery mode. You must restore this phone before it can be used with itunes." and everytime I try to restore, the error message comes up.  I have tried to unplug, turn off the computer, and nothing seems to work.

         Try downloading the 3rd party application called "Tiny Umbrella". While it isn't a software distributed by Apple it will be able to kick your iPhone out of the boot loop.
    Mac OS X download, click here.

  • Secure link to iTunes Store Failed, Can't restore iPhone.

    Good day,
    Am hoping to get some help please. We recently upgraded our desktop from Windows XP to Windows 7. Re-installed all the software as well as iTunes 10.
    All has been working fine, up until yesterday. The playlist which we where syncing with the iPhone 3G, had been changed and we wanted to sync the changes to the phone.
    When preforming the sync, it got to the point where it said "Finishing Sync" in iTunes, the phone said "Sync in Progress" and iTunes froze completely. (Not Responding) Left it for about 30mins, after which it still said the same. I rebooted the machine and the phone, and tried again with the same error. I then tried removing all music and videos from the phone. Same problem.
    My last resort was to attempt a restore of the phone. It started the restore and eventually got to a point where iTunes came up with the error 2003, unable to restore iPhone, the phone was now stuck in restore mode with the iTunes Logo and USB plug on the main screen.
    So off to the iStore to get it fixed. The phone was reformatted/restored there and was working fine but I did not have any contacts/messages or photos on the phone, so I attempted another restore, so I could get my info back. It came up with the same issue again. Error 2003.
    I then started browsing around and found out the iTunes diagnostics, it fails every time on the "Secure link to iTunes", iTunes has been added to the Windows firewall, I have tried un-installing my AntiVirus software and trying it with again but same result. I have checked the ports are all open. I have tried to reset my hosts file. I have reset my internet explorer settings, but nothing is working.
    Can anybody help me out with this please.
    Below is the copy of the diagnostics log created the last time I ran it:

    The results show that you have a proxy server set and this can often cause problems with iTunes.
    The proxy setting can be accessed in Internet options>>Connections>>LAN Settings.
    Try un-checking the proxy server check box.
    It might also be a good idea to run a malware check if you didn't know you had the proxy server set.
    You can download a free version of an excellent scanner- Malwarebytes here:

    Hi Bobi1346,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities and for including the error number you are getting.
    There's an article for troubleshooting that error.
    iOS: Restore errors 4005, 4013, and 4014
    Try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Restart your computer.
    Make sure your computer is up to date. If an update requires a restart, check for updates again after you restart.
    Learn more about updating OS X.
    Learn more about updating Windows.
    Restore using another USB cable.
    Restore your device on another computer.
    If you continue to see error 4005, 4013, or 4014 when you restore your device, contact Apple for support.
    Take care,
    Nubz

    I have recently bought an iPhone 4S and I am trying to install iOS7. The install initially failed and I received an error message. I attempted a restore, however, the progress bar is now stuck at "Restoring iPhone software.."
    I'm still attempting to restore it, but the process goes as follows
    - Extracting software.
    - Waiting for iphone.
    - Preparing iphone software for restore.
    - Verifying iphone software.
    - Restoring iPhone software.
    It is at this point where it begins to load approxiamtely 10% and then freezes. I have had the handset connected 7 hours with no progress and this is my third attempt since Friday. Please help.

    The phone was jailbroken. That's what that error indicates. You can't get help here. You can't get help from Apple.
    Try Google.

  • Iphone 4 fails to restore error (-1), any solutions? Apple has none...

    My five month old iPhone 4 is failing to restore and shows an error number of (-1).  As seems to be standard of low customer service with Apple it is not listed in their troubleshooting guide online.  Is there any way to fix this without sending Apple another few hundred dollars to fix it?

    If you have tried multiple computers and were unable to get that to work, with a phone that is 5 months old, like I said earlier, it is under warranty. The only way to get past the cost of Apple phone support, which is only free for 90 days unless you purchase Apple Care, is to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the closest Apple store and take the phone in. That is free support and they should be able to diagnose the problem. I'm not sure what you are referring to as a common iOS5 software problem, because if it was so common, there would be other posts here referring to it. Try the Genius Bar, they are the next step in troubleshooting.

  • Iphone fails at verifying iphone restore

    I am using windows 7, I have updated my iTune to 10.5 and backed up my iPhone 4 and started updating phone but it failed when verifying iphone restore and it gave error 6 tried every step but still not successfull can some help please as I cannot use my phone.

    I'm having the same problem. I'm using the same usb outlet that I use all the time. I've used it with all other updates, accessories, etc. I did change the cord to make sure that it wasn't that, but I don't have any other outlets to try. I read on another post to try the outlets on the back of the machine, but my laptop only has the 2 on the side.
    I posted a similar question myself... Hopefully someone will have a suggestion

    Just tried to update iPhone 4S to 6.1 and it first of all failed to back up then it failed to update (Error 11) so i had to put it in recovery mode and restore it then it failed to restore with an unknown error starting to think its an itunes issue does anyone have any advice?

    if your computer is not recognizing it, try using a different USB port or different usb cable. if that doesnt work you will need to uninstall and reinstall itunes.

    unable to restore iphone 4 - error code 3194 keeps coming up what do i do ?

    Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. FollowiTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • Image Processor.jsx bug (CS3, 10.0.1): fail to restore history item sometimes

    I have very limited history depth (5 items) to conserve my RAM.
    When I run "Image Processor" script, which calls some complex Action, "Image Processor" fails to restore history item (because it was dropped already) in this lines (tere is same line for every save file type):
    app.activeDocument.activeHistoryState = historyState;
    This line(s) throw exception (file was saved, really!), and file remains open and after processing 10-15 files computer starts to thrash.
    I've surrounded all these lines with try { ... } catch(e) {} and it works for me.
    IMHO, it here are two bad ideas in this script:
    (1) Consider every and any exception as error. In this case, history is not a thing I care about
    (2) Don't close files in case of error. It can fill up RAM & scratch disk very quickly.

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
