Everytime I try to update to iOS5 on my iPhone 4 I get an error containing 0xE while it is trying to backup data from the iPhone. I have done everything suggested in Apple support. How can I upgrade to iOS5 without losing all the data on my phone?

Everytime I try to update to iOS5 on my iPhone 4 I get an error containing 0xE while it is backing up data from the iPhone before installing the new operating system. I have done everything suggested in Apple support with no success. I still get the error everytime (about 5 minutes into backing up iPhone data). How can I upgrade to iOS5 without losing all the data on my iPhone (the error message says that if I continue I will lose all data on the phone)? If I have already synced the phone before upgrading the OS, would I be able to restore my data after installing the new OS by syncing after the OS upgrade is complete? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

You are talking about the menu bar of Itunes, right?
Yes. With iTunes open the menu bar is at the top of your screen.
where exactly is the Store/synck you iphone option?
After you authorize the computer connect your iPhone then follow the instructions here > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
When you are done transferring the data to the desktop, right or control click the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click Back Up.
That way you will have a backup just in case you need to restore your iPhone.

You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

how can i reset my iphone without update to ios 7.0.6

You can wipe the device without updating:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
I would be remiss not to mention that iOS 7.0.6 patches a security flaw.
If you choose not to update, your device will be at risk.

You will have to force your phone into Recovery Mode & restore it. iTunes will give you the option of restoring from backup or as a new device. All data, currently on your phone, will be erased. Follow the directions here:

Since you can no longer backup to disk, how to restore from external drive without losing all ratings and playlists

since you can no longer backup to disk, how to restore from external drive without losing all ratings and playlists?

My own opinion is that you should install the later appropriate version of Silverkeeper. That said, I would in fact recommend if you can wait a few days for an answer, that you email the La Cie Silverkeeper backup team via the email link on the site at http://www.lacie.com/silverkeeper/
They are careful to say they are not officially providing a backup service, but when I emailed them with a query regarding usage about a year ago after downloading Silverkeeper for myself, I got a reply within a couple of days that cleared up my question.

You would only be able to restore to a backup to iCloud or iTunes:

You cannot use someone else's apps without violating the license agreement. The apps are tied to the owner (via Apple ID). The right thing to do would be to update and start fresh.

Thank you

Do you have any backups? I'm guessing not, from what you've said, in which case you may be about to learn the hard way why backups are important.
First, when your computer boots into recovery mode, try using Disk Utility to repair the hard drive. If there are no problems to repair, the cause is elsewhere. If the problems are fixed, try rebooting and see if the system is working again. If the problems cannot be fixed, you could try a program like DiskWarrior, which can fix things Disk Utility cannot.
If repairs work, or were not necessary, but the system still won't start up, try reinstalling the system. It will just install over your existing system files, leaving everything else intact. (In theory, anyway... if there's something badly wrong, you can never count on that, but without backups you have few choices.)
If the disk absolutely cannot be repaired by anything, you can try recovering important files to another hard drive using something like Data Rescue, File Salvage or Stellar Phoenix.
Regardless of what happens, you need to start backing up ASAP. See my Mac Backup Guide for more information.

HT4113 how do i reset my iPhone without iTunes?

i would like to know how can i enable my iphone without itunes.

A reset has nothing to do with iTunes.
What is meant by "enable" the iPhone?
If it is locked with a passcode and the passcode is unknown or forgotten, the only way to get the device functional is a restore via iTunes on a computer.

HT2305 How do I update to iOS5 without losing all of my apps?

How do I update my iPhone to iOS 5 without losing all of my apps?

Yes, provided the old apps are compatible with the new OS. BTW, double-check before in the Apps section of the iTunes library to be sure all your apps are listed there just in case. I usually sync twice just to be certain there is a backup.
I also maintain backups of the computer just in case. You should have a current backup.

How to enable a disable ipad without losing all my data.Forget password.

I forgot password. Tried so many times and now my IPAD is disabled. Is there a way to enable it without losing all my data. The computer that I use to back it up CRASHED and there is no way I could retrive all my important and its such a waste to lose all my pics n 3000++ songs.

No. If you don't have a backup, then whatever data on the iPad you don't have backed up is gone. That's what a passcode is for...
You can re-download music and apps using the same Apple ID you purchased them with without paying for them a second time.
You might want to consider using iCloud to back up in the future...

HT1414 How do i restore and update my iphone 4S without losing all of my photos and videos and contacts?

how do i restore and update my iphone 4S without losing my contacts photos and videos??

Use the device as designed.
Pictures and videos taken with the device are designed to be regularly copied off the device to a computer.
Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Media should exist in iTunes on the computer.
If the device has been used as designed then at most, only a miniscule amount of data is at risk. That data being pics/vids taken since the last time they were copied off the device. Also at risk is app data created since the last backup to iTunes or iCloud.
If the device is in recovery mode and it has not been used as designed, it is too late to salvage the data.
How to update iDevices

I have a restriction passcode that I have no idea what the passcode could be. I know that I need to reset the phone to factory settings but how do go about doing this without losing all of my contacts and other info, etc? (mainly contacts)

     At some point, I don't even remember doing this it must have been so long ago, I set a restrictions passcode on my phone. This has become a problem now because I have so many apps that I do not ever use that take up so much space I can no longer take pictures or put more music on the device. I have read that I need to restore to factory settings but that once I do that I cannot restore to a backup because restrictions passcodes are saved in backups. Is there any way for me to restore my phone to factory settings and then get all of my contacts and perhaps as much other data back as I can? I have tried every passcode I can think of for the restrictions passcode (24 times! to the point that ever time I try and fail I cannot try again for an hour. To say the least, this is quite frustrating as is limits what i can do with my phone on a daily basis, whether it be music or taking pictures and videos etc. Can someone please help me solve this problem without losing minimal data? I have already backed the phone up to my computer as well as iCloud. Even the woman at the apple store told me I had to restore it to factory but was too busy to get further into it and I didn't have a genius bar appointment. If all else fails I can make an appointment and go in there. I just thought I may as well ask on here first to see if there was a way I could do it myself. Thanks for reading and hope you can help me!

You can't. Restoring new means everything is erased. If you have a backup made before creating a restriction code, then you can restore that backup, but none later.
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.
