    How can i restore my iphone which was erased by iCloud?? I got my phone back but it wont work when i connect to iTunes.

    The following assumes you've been backing up to icloud all along.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
    Let us know if this method does not work.

  • HT1212 How do i restore my iphone when it has been disabled and can not be restored through itunes because of the error message that says "The iphone software update server could not be contacted.

    How do i restore my iphone when it has been disabled and cannot be restored through itunes because of the error message that says "The iphone software update server could not be contacted

    Have you jailbroken this device? This will make the iPhone not talk to the Software Update Server (that signs and accepts software updates) please refer to the following link? Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    The iPhone will talk to the software update servers, just need to change the host files, it's a simple process, sorry if you were confused about the wording in to top?

    It's asking you to create a passcode. You can turn it off later if you wish.

    Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
    I found the answer to my question.
    When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

  • How can I restore my iphone 4s to a previous backup I can see in the backup folder?

    Ok, here's a question for the restore/ backup pros. 
    On 1/4/14 I thought I would back up my iPhone 4s because it had been over a year (yeah, I know not a good idea to wait so long) since I had last backed it up (8/13/12, to be exact).  So, when I connected it to my computer, iTunes recommended I update the iTunes software.  So, I did.  Somewhere in the middle of the update I noticed that my iPhone kinda "rebooted" and I saw what a friend of mine referred to as the "restore iPhone" image on it.
    Then, I received an error message from iTunes saying that there was a problem with my iPhone & that I would have to restore it to factory settings.  WTH!!!!
    I went ahead and befored the restore.  Oddly enough, I seemed to get all my data back.  Heck, I even got emails & contacts that I added minutes before I tried to back it up.  I thought I had dodged a bullet & then I started to notice Apps that were missing & other Apps that I had deleted long ago back on the iPhone.
    Then, other anomolies surfaced, like photos missing, contacts missing, & worst of all the App that I used to store some really preceious pictures, photo vault, was also gone (and all my most precious pictures).  Those pics were not in my camera roll any longer as I had moved them to this App.
    Okay, I studied all I could on the net & learned where the backup files are stored on my computer and huh, it looks likes it took a back up right before (during?) the iTunes update that caused all this mess.  The problem is, iTunes doesn't show this backup as one I can select when trying to restore it.
    My Question is, "How can I restore my iPhone to the backup dated 1/4/14 that I can clearly see in the backup folder?"
    Many thanks,  psmcpher

    oops.  typo:  "I went ahead and befored the restore."  should be... I went ahead and performed the restore.

  • How can i restore a iPhone 4s (ios7) with a back from from a iphone5 (ios8.1.1?)

    how can i restore a iPhone 4s (ios7) with a backup from from a iphone5 (ios8.1.1)?
    When I try Easing All Content and Restore. It backup's to ios7. Then I'm unable to install the backup that i have in the cloud.
    Help!

    Are you sure it's a 4S and not a 4?
    You can't restore a backup made with a newer version of iOS to a phone running an older one. You must update the phone to the newer version of iOS, wipe it again, then restore the backup.
