Has anyone had errors in restoring their backup after the iOS5 update?

After 6 times of downloading, installing, and restoring my iphone 4, now I've run into an issue where the phone can't retrieve my backup (none of them!).  Has anyone encounted this?????

I was running into an internal error dialog box in iTunes when trying to do the update to iOS 5. I tried rebooting my iPhone 4 first, but still got the internal error message. I then did a hard reset with my iPhone 4, holding down the power and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appeared. That seemed to do the trick. As soon as the iPhone rebooted fully, I did the update and it worked with no internal error message.
Try resetting your iOS device then the update. Some forums I have been reading on this have suggested puting the iOS device in DFU mode, while connected with usb cable to computer and iTunes running, holding down the power and home buttons past the Apple logo until iTunes dialog box pops up that "iTunes detects a phone that needs to be restored" and proceeding from there.  I haven't tried that.  The resetting worked for me.
Good luck.

  • Has anyone had a problem with their imac because the power company installed a smart meter which broadcasts the readings to the company?

    Has anyone had a problem with their imac after the power company--in my case Pepco in Washington DC--installed "smart meters" which read the meter and transmit the data via wireless?  I've had trouble and when I move the imac downstair it disappears. Help!

    would putting up a metal shield by the meter help?
    It might, as long as the shield is grounded. Metallic (such as copper) window screen is often sufficient.
    As mentioned, it would not hurt to file a complaint. The burden of proper shielding should probably belong to Pepco. Among other things, the FCC frowns upon RF leakage and its interfereing with radio communications. Besides, Pepco probably would not want you to affix a shield around their gear - liability issues, etc.
    You could experiment by temporarily hanging a shield-screen on the inside of the wall, behind where the meter transmitter device is located, and see if there is any beneficial change.

  • Has anyone been unable to restore their iPad after attempting to upgrade to ios5? error 1

    Has anyone been unable to restore their iPad after attempting to upgrade to ios5? I get an unknown error 1 message. Thanks.

    I have the same problem. Something happened during the download and froze iTunes. After spending three days searching these forums with the dead iPad, the only thing I got to work was to try downloading iOS 5 using my sons computer. This worked. However I cannot now get my computer's iTunes to sync with my iPad.. It contains the same error message (1602) and has the same problem as before. It is not an antivirus problem. I need some help too

  • TS1702 Has anyone had issues signing off of Facebook after installing iOS 6?

    Has anyone had issues signing off of Facebook after installing iSO6 update?

    Yes I am having the same problem. I can't find any info about it and nothing seems to help. I am just posting this in hope that if it's a wider problem, there will be a quick solution.

  • Has anyone had any problems with their charger blowing out?

    Has anyone had any problems with their charger blowing out? mine blew, there's now a charred pin on the charger and in the socket of the macbook. The plastic around the charge socket is also cracked & distorted from the blow-out. It wasn't a power surge as no other electrical items were affected. It wasn't liquid or dust, as I'm the only person who uses it & I'm very careful. I'm concerned that the consequences could have been terrible. I wasn't present when it happened though, I can just see the evidence after the event.
    I have a mid 2010 13" Macbook running the latest software & use the original magsafe charger that came with it.
    Will I have to fork out for a costly repair or is there a safety issue that Apple will sort out for me?
    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Everything in the box with iPhone is covered by the iPhone warranty ,go  to Apple genius bar before warranty expires

  • Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac?

    Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac?

    You are probably correct. I tried all different variations to test it. As long as I quit each document separately, i.e., red dot it, I seem to bring up only one document after that whether I click on the document itself or open it within pages. The same is true with numbers.
    Two more questions:
    1) can you turn off the "resume" feature? If so, how? I could not find a way to do it.
    2) why the "save a version" feature in pages? What happened to the old "save" and "save as" features?
    Thanks so much, you saved me a lot of frustration but I am still going to install MS Office for Mac.

  • Anyone else having trouble with FCPX crashing after the OSX update?

    Anyone else having trouble with FCPX crashing after the OSX update? It NEVER crashed until the update. The night before last it crashed 20 times in 45 minutes. I can't finish my project because of it.

    I don't understand the question. I am simply editing.
    There are some patterns of crashes that suggest possible causes and fixes; some users report crashes when FCPX is in the process of loading; others while importing/exporting, etc. Asking to narrow the list of possibilities.
    Suggest starting with three things:
    1) Update the software from the APp Store  if need be.
    2) Trash preferences.
    3) Repair permissions.

  • I have an iPhone 4S with Sprint, I had to replace my last phone after the newest update killed my wifi button. Now my new phone won't get 3G at all. I have tried turning my phone off/on, resetting my networks, and turning airplane mode off and on.

    I have an iPhone 4S with sprint. I had to replace my phone after the new update killed my wifi button and wouldn't let me turn my phone off. Since I've had my new phone, I haven't been getting 3G. I have tried resetting my networks, Turing airplane mode off/on and restarting my phone. Nothing seems to work. Any info on what I should do next would be great.

    If you have set this phone up, then there would not necessarily be a solution here until you have been verify with the provider that everything is provisioned correctly on their end. Since the 3G comes from your cellular provider, if the settings are correct on the phone, then you should work with the carrier next.

  • Has anyone had a problem with their replacement nano?

    My replacement nano came with a letter saying that it was covered by a 90 day warranty. Yesterday when I thought I had a problem with it I submitted a request for support and included a scan of the letter. I just got a reply saying that my warranty is from the original date of purchase and thus expired.
    Fortunately I have resolved my problem in the mean time but what happens if I get a problem that I can't fix. It appears that the so-called warranty on the replacement units is completely worthless.

    I hope you are correct if I need the warranty! This is how Applecare replied to me:
    Thank you for sending the proof of purchase.
    Apple has reviewed your proof of purchase and your request to update the purchase date in our records. Your request was carefully considered. We regret to inform you that your request has been denied.
    Your request was denied because the date of purchase for your replacement IPOD NANO is the same as the date of purchase of the original IPOD NANO. The replacement IPOD NANO is entitled to the remaining warranty coverage from the original IPOD NANO.
    Your IPOD NANO has the following date of purchase in our records: 02/14/2006
    Sincerely,
    AppleCare Agreement Administration
    This is what they wrote after looking at my letter about the 90 day warranty - hence my concern that it is worthless. Hopefully I never have to call AppleCare - they seem quite unhelpful.

  • Problem (-1) when restoring from backup after installing iOS5!

    Made a backup before installing iOS5, now I can't restore it. I have repeated the "continue restore" probably 25-30 times, I have unplugged, restarted and rebooted until my face turned blue, I have tried everything I could find on online communities, and everything has failed so far. The data I had on the phone (contacts are on my computer, same with music and mail) is to 90% expendable, but it's that last 10% that I absolutely, desperately need! Silly me, I thought making a backup actually let you keep the backupped stuff...
    APPLE, SOMEONE, please help, because I am at my wits end! It's baffling how a reliable company like Apple can release something like this, an update that somehow wipes out everything you have on your phone. I am begging you, give me my phone back!
    "Couldn't restore because an error occurred." This is straight up Windows crap, it's things like this that made me switch to Apple seven years ago, for chrissakes!

    Getting the same problem here..
    “The iPhone “iPhone” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1).”
    I have not jailbroken the iPhone, i only have dozen or so apps, synced it every other day. tried the DUF mode before connecting it to the pc.
    also, i tried downgrading back and restoring with the following ipsw packages: IOS 4.3.2, 4.3.4, 4.3.5 and 5.
    different error code appears with each ipsw. that didn't work either!
    in the last attampt it got through the whole progress bar (so it might now be a problem with the firmware), but then it err and gave me the same massage.
    I thought those things only happens to Blackberry

  • Has anyone noticed a massive battery drain problem after the iOS 6.1 update on the iPhone 4s?

    I updated my iPhone 4s last night with iOS 6.1 update.  This morning, the battery percentage has been falling at an alarming rate while in standby, and the phone seems to be heating up and staying at an elevated temperature while in standby.  Has anyone else noticed this?  This only started once I did the update.  Any solutions?

    Standard troubleshooting...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red  to delete apps from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • Is anyone else experiencing higher temperatures when gaming after the SMC update?

    I turn off the turbo boost and usually get around 60-63 degrees when playing games such as FC3 and Skyrim but after the update I'm getting around 70-75. I use Lubbos fan control to ramp up the fans to 6000 RPM but still sits at around 70 degrees. Anyone else having the increase temperature issue?

    I'm using the stock Swype application that is already on the phone (not from the play store) and it works great with none of those problems.  Not sure if the original poster is using the stock version of Swype that does get updated with these updates, or downloaded another version from the Play Store as Ann154 mentioned.  There is really no reason to download it from the Play Store when it is already on the phone, so I assume they are using the stock version.  Again, I've had zero issues with Swype or anything else with this update. 

  • The built in dictionaries I had downloaded before won't load after the ios8 update.

    When I had tried to define a word through the built in dictionaries on my iPad, nothing appeared as a definition. I went to the manage option to see if I needed to download the dictionaries again, but the dictionaries that I've already installed had these circles on the right that refused to fill up... i.e. They wouldn't load. I've tried downloading the other dictionaries I hadn't downloaded before to see if it was the overall downloading proble but nope, those download hella fine so... Help??????

    They'll be more updates. Try the rese belowt and if that doesn't work be sure to leave feedback to Apple.
    Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.

  • Anyone having this problem after the IOS5 update?

    I uploaded the new software into our 4 iphone 4's. Two of them have no problem and are working fine. The other 2 keep searching for signal. They will show 4-5 bars and all of a sudden say "searching" for about 7-8 seconds, then show the bars again. We have tried restaring the phones several times and nothing. Our carrier is AT&T. Anyone else having this problem?
