HELP! iPhone can't restore!

I need help fast. I just created an account and everything was working fine. Then I clicked on update to version 2.2. It downloaded it, and then said an error has occured. The iPhone then froze with just the apple sign showing. I took it out as nothing was happening and then I pluged it back in. It said that the iphone was in recovery mode and needed to be restored. After clicking on restore on update. After a minute or 2 it says that there is an unknown error has occurred (13). The iphone is then removed from itunes and screen on the iphone is still the apple sign, as when you've turned it on, when i unplug it the screen goes black. I've tryed uninstalling and re-instaling itunes and switching USB ports, however i'm on a laptop so there's only 2. Luckly there was nothing important on there. Please help!

"Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off of the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software."

Help, I can't restore my iphone 5S, my Mac shows a error code of 3014, help!

I can't restore my iphone 5S as my Mac gives me an error code 3014. Help!

Thank you for your timely response. I did this several times before, however the words "gs.apple..." did not appear each and every time. My terminal box had everything else in place as shown in the demonstration. I thought I could simply "restore" within the phone by itself, but I cannot locate that feature. Any other help is greatly appreciated! Thank!

HELP! Can't restore backup after going from 4.2 to 4.1

I had 4.2b2 installed on my iPhone 4. I did a sync & it backed up.
I then restored 4.1 since 4.2 was very buggy for me.
When I went to restore the backup, it took like 5 seconds & of course the backup was not restored. I have too much information in various apps that I will lose if I can't restore that backup.
What do I do?

Turn off your iPhone, then press&release power to turn it back on while keeping the home button pressed for 20 seconds to boot up your iPhone in recovery mode (you should see the "Connect to iTunes" logo with an iPhone cable on the screen).
Then connect your iPhone do your computer, iTunes will detect an iPhone in recovery mode. Restore using the stock / non-modified iOS 4.1 firmware. After the restore is over, you will be able to restore your last backup (I was able to restore from 4.2 to 4.1, but if you get an error (besides the "backup session" pirated users are getting...) then you can just use any of the previous backups in the list (iTunes does a full backup before doing a firmware update, so if you look in your backup history, you should see at least 2 backups dated from the day you did the 4.1 to 4.2 upgrade, one from before the upgrade, and one from after the upgrade. Obviously you will want to take the first first one).

Help, windows vista doesn't recognize iphone, can't restore

Hello everyone, I'm having a problem syncing my iPhone 3g with iTunes to restore it. I received an iphone 3g 16gb from a friend because he didn't want to try to fix it. He told me it broke after he dropped it. Boots up to the apple logo and just stays there, sometimes spinning, sometimes not.
So I started reading around the net trying to find ways to fix it. I've tried hard resetting (home and wake/sleep same time for 10 secs) and that didn't help. I've tried hooking it up to an itunes with the most recent update and restoring from there. The problem is, my laptop doesn't detect the iphone at all. I have a VAIO with VISTA Business and it is not detecting the phone at all when I plug it in, doesn't show up in device manager or give any indication that the iphone is plugged in other than when I plug it in, the phone boots up to the apple. I've tried plugging in the phone and going into recovery mode from there and I can bring up the screen that shows itunes and the usb cable but nothing shows up in itunes. I've tried getting into DFU mode, but my laptop is still not detecting it.
I'm running out of ideas so I thought I'd post on the web. Has anybody run into this problem before? I've googled it and checked this forum and others and havent found anything. Is my iphone bricked? Anyone with any experience with similar problems, please let me know!

A bit of a long shot but you could try and reset the nvram using a stop+N key sequence. Like I said a bit of a long shot which I do not expect to work as it seems you have tried most things.
I assume that both keyboards work ok on another system and that there are not loose connections between the keyboard, mouse, monitor and the system.
Does the system boot up, pass diags, etc when the ttya is used. It might be worth while stress testing the system with something like SUNVts.
You need to also keep in mind this might genuinely be a connector fault with the motherboard, perhaps caused while taking the system apart or moving it.

Hi, Ari Gatou.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to restore your iPhone. Make sure to uninstall and software that provides other options for updating or restoring and iPhone. As you have completed most of the relevant troubleshooting steps, there are just a couple more that I could recommend in the article below.
Check for hardware issues
Related errors: 1, 3, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
These errors mean that your device or computer might have a hardware issue that stops the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't blocking your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Make sure that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

Help! can't restore my iphone 5, error 3200

im trying to get my old backup by restoring it, but it appears error 3200, i tried a few times already

I have the same problem. I read on a couple site that this is not something we can control, but an overload on apples servers. I think the best we can do is wait for this to subside. I'm trying this again in the morning.

TS3694 Hi, My iphone can't restore and have a message error 1603.

I bought this iphone4s from Thailand but now Im live at Xiamen China
Can i go to Apple store in Xiamen for fix my iphone's problem ????????

Sorry but I see that now other people are having your similar issue as you, when they updated it started asking them for a passcode. This is one thing I found that might help.....
Do a backup to iTunes (yes, you can do a backup to iTunes or iCloud even if your phone is locked), then put the phone into "recovery" mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808). Then restore the factory settings; basically a clean install of iOS7 (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414). Then finally, I restore from the backup you made (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766). The phone does not make me enter the passcode I had set (which was of course set when the backup was made), but it does prompt me to create a new one. I declined :-) I will try setting up a new passcode at some point, but I'm just glad to have my phone back for now.

Please Help! Can't restore VF0380 operation after many recovery attempts

My model VF0380 webcam has been operating effectively for over 5 years. Until two months ago it had been operating on my current computer (HP Pavilion running Windows 8.1). The webcam still functions on another PC (running Vista). When plugged into any USB port on my computer, Driver Manager identifies VF0380 under 'Other devices' with a yellow exclamation point (code 1) - actually there are two identical VF0380 device items. Any attempt to update the driver fails - it reports that a driver can be found but 'errors when attempting to install it'. I've made many attempts to reinstall the current version of the software (LCOR_0380_PCDRV_LA_1_03_03) - using the exact downloaded file that installed and operated this webcam previously (and I used a new copy). After initial failures, I uninstalled (and deleted) everything in the file system about Creative software or the webcam. During installation, after extracting the files, setup reports 'An error occurred while setting up the driver' (setup exits after clicking 'ok'). I've compared the driver files under system32 on my PC with the same files on the (Vista) computer where the cam still operates - driver files in system32 have the same names (some have different sizes and dates). There are no system restores back to the period when the cam was operating. There is nothing unusual about my computer - there are no viruses. I can only imagine that a file is missing, the registry is corrupted, or there is a dll conflict - but I stumped. Please help!

After more hours of investigation, I discovered how to restore my webcam operation. The DeviceInstall service had Stopped (I don't know why) - it was Stopped even after reboot. After setting the service to Running, a device was installed. I reset the Sevice's default state by using RestoreDeviceInstallServiceWindows8.bat that I found online. I found the dead installer because I was (subsequent to my webcam hassles) failing to install another device (an iPhone service) - so I looked at Services via the Task Manager for anything suspicious. Learning how to install iTunes through the back door (see link) led to a lot of other learning I hadn't planned to do. But, it helped me to discover how to restore my webcam (which I did through WinSxS - I was never able to get the LCOR 1.3.3 install to work since the original install.

Urgent help needed, can I restore N900 Backup file...

i owned a N900 (now sold out)
before selling i took backup of contacts from backup restore option in application section
now i bought a N8 but i m not able to restore my contacts
1. is there any way to restore them in N8?
2. if not, can i convert them in TEXT or any readable format
urgent help needed
thanks in advance

The backup procedures built into the phone are only designed for restoring to the same phone (ie: in case or data corruption, software update or repair etc.), they can't usually be used to restore to a phone with a different operating system.
You should have backed up with Ovi Suite before selling the N900, that would have been able to restore to the N8.

PLEASE HELP iPhone 4s wont restore despite every fix error 29/21

Hi all,
I thought I was being clever telling a mate at work Id be able to fix his 4s after he tried to upgrade to ios7 and it basically bricked. when on it shows the cable and world symbol and nothing else.
what ive done so far:
entered dfu and tried to restore numerous different firmwares including the latest but no luck. I will say that restoring on itunes to latest firmware gets 99% there before failing error 29 (sometimes 21).
edited hosts file in terminal to remove the gs.apple file. does nothing
downloaded tiny umbrella to remove cydia thingy but its not highlighted anyway
exited itunes before doing any host file edits and rebooted.
if i don't edit hosts file i dont get an error code i get 'requested build cannot be done' message
phone is currently useless but i cant understand why i cant boot an earlier firmware to get it out of this loop of failure??
any help in non tech terms would be gratefully received other than 'chuck it away and buy another' - this MUST BE FIXABLE
Kris

No jailbreak. all of the online 'fixes' related to installing tiny umbrella to exit the restore mode and unchecking a Cydia (whatever that is) is one of the main points. I was just suggesting it doesn't work.
I Assume u work for apple based on the fact you would care about a jailbroken phone (I can't imagine it bothers anyone else) so perhaps you could look into this fault? I have read about a battery fault issue but I can't see how one day on iOS 6 it works and then on attempting to install 7 it's now a battery fault? Makes no sense. Thanks
