I'm trying to restore and back up my iPhone 4 it's taking more than 45 hours. What should I do?
I have been trying to restore and back up my Iphone which i have just updated and I wanted my apps, contacts, messages,etc,. all back on my iPhone but its taking more than 45 hours and it's only 16 GB. I have really important contacts that I need to have in my phone but it would take weeks to get them back one by one without using the back up.
As has been said, you may have a corrupt backup on your computer. However, if it is a Windows computer you may also have a corrupt socket layer in Windows. So first try this (after canceling the backup):
Open a command window with Administrator privileges and type:
netsh winsock reset
then reboot your computer and try again to do a backup (right click on the phone's name in iTunes and select Backup from the floating menu).
If this doesn't work you will have to delete the existing backup. Go to iTunes preferences, Devices page.
Note: If you have a Mac first try restarting it, launching iTunes, and back up as described above. -
I tried to restore and update my phone and now it is stuck in recovery mode. how do i get it out?
I can't get my phone out of recovery mode. Even if I restart it, all it says is that it needs to be plugged into iTunes. But when I do that, it tries to restore it again and it fails. How do I fix this?
i have this problem too! have you fixed yours yet?

Trying to restore and back up from icloud but its asking me for someone elses password....?
Hello, I had to restore my phone to get the new ios7 and now its asking me where I want to back up from. I want to do it from icloud and when I type in my apple id and password, then I agree to terms, Then it asks me to sign into tunes and gives me a random email (Iwatts30@yahoo) and asks me for the password... which obviously i dont have. Any suggestions here...
The phone is asking for a password, or the backup is asking for a password?
If it's the backup, then it's whatever password was set up for that data backup.
If it's the phone passcode lock, then you need to restore the phone first. -

I changed my LCD last day and now i noticed all my pictures on my phone are gone. I tried to restore the back that I got yesterday but it wont let me because its telling me there is not enough space on my phone!!! That's wierd because I didn't download any app or anything else since my last backup and on the other hand about 3000 pictures are gone, how come there is not enough space left! I also check my usage on my phone and it shows that i have about 7.0 GB pictures!!! BUT my photos is empty! I want my picture back on my phone any solution anyone?
Thanks for your reply!
I just called the guy who changed my LCD and asked him what happend, he said there were no pictures on your phone when you gave it to me! i know he is lying tho!

Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????
It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
Here is what I have tried...
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting. I have moved it around to different ports.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.Used the Microsoft fix it.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online. Doesn't matter.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this. -

why is it that when trying to use a back up of my old iphone i click on devices and the options are all frey scaled? I cannot access the restore and back upo options
Let me start with the general advise...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help? -
