Having a hard time rebooting iPhone 5 after restore from backup!

Here is my problem, my new iphone 5 did a restore from backup from my 4S. It took awhile because I have a lot of apps. Unfortunately not all the folders were intact. I heard that you have to do a double restore from backup. Once I did my 2nd restore from backup, the phone goes through a reboot process. I get the apple logo and then a blank screen. I have tried holding the home and top button with and without it being plugged in. I got it working and did a restore from backup again, thinking the folders would be restored. It did not work again. After trying about 5 or 6 times, I finally got the phone to come up again. Unfortunately I still have not gotten my folders back they way it was. It's partial and now I don't want to try to do another restore from backup. So I guess itunes is still not fixed in terms of restoring apps and folders they way it is supposed to be. Anyone else have this issue?

Sorry to say my friend, but any second you going to lose from that moment on is a lost second. I d like to wish you luck and after all said and done - get back here and tell me if I was wrong. BTW if those were text group messages, your phone was never a problem.

ICloud icon next to ALL my songs on my iPhone after restoring from backup on iTunes

i recently just had my iPhone back after having it repaired. I made a backup on my Mac before sending it away. Now after waiting for it to restore itself and even watch it download all 1800 songs, none of them will play unless i download them from iCloud. I dont understand why as it's never done this with my music before. I dont have iTunes Match and i dont recall ever storing any of my music to the cloud - just my mac. I am not really prepared to go through my entire list of songs and download them separately, so any suggestions as to why it's suddenly decided to do this and how to sort it? everything else from the back up is working fine and is the same as before. thanks!

Hi BeeRai,
If your music is not showing up locally on your iPhone, even if you do not have iTunes Match, you may want to try turning of the iTunes in the Cloud settings as described on the following page, then resyncing if necessary:
Just show music that’s been downloaded from iCloud. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music.
Remove iPhone from your list of “iTunes in the Cloud” devices. In iTunes on your computer, choose Store > View Account. Sign in, then click Manage Devices in the “iTunes in the Cloud” section.

after restore from backup, iphone is not getting start, only apple logo is there on screen

Hi there.
Try some basic trouble shooting steps first, before looking into some advanced issues that might be causing this. The first thing I would try, is holding down the power button and home button at the same time until the screen turns off on you. See what steps you can take from there, if any.
Kind Regards.

IPhone 4 restore from backup loop?

So the other day I accidentally deleted all the texts to my girlfriend. So i read about this on the internet and it told me to back up the iPhone and restore from the backup to get my texts back. So I tried it and after i restored from the created backup, the iPhone was backup to normal, except all my apps and music was missing. So i went to iTunes to sync it to get everything back, when i realised iTunes was back at the "set up as new iphone or restore from backup" screen again. So i clicked restore from backup and selected the backup again and it did its business. Then when it was finished it returned to the "set up as new iphone or restore from backup" screen yet again! This now happens everytime I try restore from the backup. I've put the iPhone into restore mode and resored the 5.0.1 firmeware many times, but when i click on restore from backup, it does the same thing as above. I've made sure iTunes is the latest and run the diagnostics but everything up to date and working. Please help, i do not want to lose my messages or have to set the iPhone up as new.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance

The iPhone Backup Extractor extracts data from iPhone backups. As such, so long as the last backup was taken before the data was deleted, it will recover your information automatically. However, if the data was deleted before your backup was taken, it makes sense that the backup won't contain your data. Fortunately, Apple don't purge deleted data from their database files, so it is often possible to recover some deleted SMS, note and contact data. By extracting the SQLite databases from your backup in Expert mode, and opening them in Notepad, you should see fragments of any data that has been deleted. This isn't the easiest way to recover data, and reassembling contact information isn't easy, but it's better than losing the data altogether!

How can I see my messages after restoring from backup?

I have 2.1gb of messages saved in my storage on my 4s but they're not in messages after restoring from backup.
How can I get all my messages back in my message app because I know they're their it's just a matter of getting them restored into the app.

When you restored your phone from an old backup, it wiped ALL data from your phone and replaced it with the data from that backup. It's like your phone went back in time.
Your data that was on the phone before you did the restore is now gone forever. There is no way to get these data back.

After restoring from backup on iCloud, my photos have been "downloading" for 2 days with no progress at all.

After restoring from backup on iCloud, my photos have been "downloading" for 2 days with no progress at all. Everything else seems to by fine, however. I have all my apps, contacts, even my photostream back, but my camera roll has said "downloading 137 of 1,345" for two days. I really don't want to have to start over as the whole process took almost 3 hours. Help?

Someone mentioned that syncing with ITunes, making sure that photos are being synced - even with an empty folder, fixed the problem. I tried it and it didn't work for me. Anyone got any answers that don't include losing the photos or erasing and restoring from backup again?

It just means some spammer is using your email address as the sender address for their spam. This is very easy to do - anyone can do it simply by changing the From email address in their email program. It does not mean your account was hacked or you have a virus (there are no current Mac viruses on the loose anyway, nor has there been for years).
There's nothing you can do about it. It can happen to anyone and the spammers will move on to using someone else's email address before long.

After restoring from backup, iPad hangs after sliding to unlock-I have to reset every time to get it to work--Any fix?

I have a first generation iPad.
After having crashing issues I restored from backup.
Since restore, whenever I slide to unlock, it hangs for few minutes. Then I get a pictrue of the spinning circle but is doesn't spin---just hangs there--frozen.
I have to reset the iPad to get it to function every time (holding down the home button/on-off button).
Any ideas on how I can resolve this issue?

Seems to have something to do with the passcode. I turned the passcode off and now there are no issues.

Bug in iphone 4s - Red icon shows after restore from backup

Hi All,
I think i have found a bug with the iphone 4s.
If i restore to new with the latest software 5.0.1 the little red icon does not show on the settings tab but then if i do a restore from backup it shows.
This is annoying and is clearly a bug as the phone is upto date.
Anyone else having this issue?
I think it might be because i installed the update from 5.0 to 5.0.1 via the phone and not the pc.
Cheers

If you have back up your notes, you can restore from the backup.
To restore information from a backup, use one of the following methods after connecting your iOS device to the computer with which you normally sync:
1. Right-click (or Control-click) the device and choose Restore from Backup
2. If you have a new phone, you can connect to iTunes and it will prompt to restore from your backup
Solution from Apple.com: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
If you have no backup for your data on iPhone, iPhone data recovery software is your last shot! I used iTunes Data Recovery and it worked well. It's easy to use. Just a few clicks you can get all your photos back. Here is a step by step guide for you: http://x.co/3Q8U3

No Camera App after restore from backup on iphone 4

OK so I backedup my iphone 3g which was on 312 on itunes 9.2 before my iphone 4 arrived today. I restored from backup and all of my apps restored. I can't seem to find the camera app! It's driving me crazy that I am trying restore the iphone 4 as a new phone but downloading the iOS4 firmware for iphone 4 is taking more than 3 hours for some reason.
Has anyone seen this?

Why not? If old data is recovered by restoring, then new data after last back up lose. If keep new data after last back up remain, lost old data can't be regained, even may be user's lack of knowledge, iPhone should not be for the people of one class...I am really sad for all who suffer the lost of their hearts (valuable data that can never be recalled) like me. How can I continue to use idevices?????

Backing up an iPad/iPhone and Restoring from Backup

To preface this post, I have always had Apple products and currently own an iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro. I have also spent about 4 hours on the phone with Apple support staff and they recommended I make a post on the Apple Support Forums.
Basically, this is a warning that when you backup your iPad or iPhone, Apple only backups contacts, notes, photos, calendars, and mail.
According to the third representative I spoke to, Apple does not, I repeat DOES NOT, actually back up music and playlists in your iTunes on your devices or backup the apps you have on them.
I had to get my iPad replaced because the smart cover was corroding and I did a full backup before I brought my iPad in to the Apple store. When I tried to restore from backup, everything but my iTunes libraries and my apps reappeared. For most, the iTunes wouldn't matter, but I was using a newish computer and had not yet organized my music library, although I had transferred all the songs back from an external drive. The apps are always a pain, since you have to manually download all of the ones you want after going to your purchases in the iTunes store.
However, a helpful thing I did learn, despite the fact that all my music from my iPad was gone, was that you can restore old playlists by quitting iTunes and going to Finder > Home > Music > iTunes and selecting iTunes Music Library.xml and dragging it to the desktop. Then you open iTunes and click File > Library > Import Playlist and select iTunes Music Library.xml from your desktop.
Anyway, this is one of the first times I have been thoroughly fed up with Apple: if their policy is to not back up music or apps when a user clicks backup, then they need to make it clear. Before I restored from backup, those files appeared in my iTunes as if they existed, although according to my Apple representative, they never did.

All the information about what gets backed up is available from Apple. Here's the article explaining what is contained in iTunes backups (see "iTunes will back up the following information"):
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
Most people will not have the unfortunate coincidence that you had wherein you wanted to restore a backup because your iPad needed replacement and simultaneously had an issue with your computer that had been storing your music.
So although the iTunes backup does not contain your music, you could subscribe to iTunes Match as described here and get that music all stored in the iCloud for you.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4914
I hope this helps.

IPhone not restoring from backup

When I try to restore my not jailbroken iphone 4 from a backup on itunes, it completes about 70% of it and then stops. The progress bar stops moving, and I have left it overnight and when I come back it hasn't progressed at all. I have tried it multiple times from multiple backups done on different dates. What should I do?

Sorry, there is no way to preserve your data. The restore from backup process is all or nothing.

CANT GET MY BACKUP iPHONE TO RESTORE FROM BACKUP

I had to take in my everyday iPhone 3G 16G to get it replaced under warranty. I backed it up before I took it in,and then tried to do a restore from backup to my spare iPhone 3G 8G. It will transfer all of the contacts, text messages, calendar, and such, but it wont transfer my apps to the backup 8G iPhone. Some of the apps arent available anymore and I dont want to lose them. What can I do? I hear people have this problem a lot.
Also, how do I back up the iPhone im using to keep anything recent so when I do a restore to my new iPhone that I get back? Is this possible?
Thanks!!!!

How does not being able to transfer the apps from your iTunes library to your spare iPhone equate to losing the apps?
People do not have this problem a lot. There is no device limit for the number of iDevices that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer.
Which firmware version was your 16GB running and which firmware version is your spare iPhone running? That can affect the apps in your iTunes library being installed on the iPhone.
