    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?

    Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
    1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
    4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
    5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
    6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

  • HT1212 How do i restore my iphone 4 when it does not have current IOS and i have forgotten passcode.  Not showing in itunes but has connect to itunes logo on screen???

    I previously had an iPhone 4 which has since been put away in a drawer now that I have an iPhone 5.  I would like to give my iphone 4 to someone else to use but could not remember my passcode - have tried a few times (I believe I have one more try before it gets disabled - so I have stopped trying).  Read somewhere that you can just restore your phone which works for me as I wanted to clear it anyway.  When I connect my phone to itunes and clicked on restore it said update and restore which I clicked on and left it to do its work.  However, a while later an error code popped up saying that it could not update or back up the phone as the phone was locked .  Now my phone just has the itunes logo on it but when I connect the phone to the computer and I manually open itunes, my phone is not recognised. 
    What can I do?  Please help!!!

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    It sounds a lot like your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it prior to your trying to update it.
    If that is the case, it is nowpermanently bricked.

    The iPhone 3G is Not Compatible with iOS 6...
    It also appears that your phone may have been Hacked and / or Jailbroken...
    If this is the case... you are out of luck... Because...

  • How do I restore my iPhone? It has iPod touch information on it (pictures, keyboard is different - no more special symbols, etc.)

    How do I restore my iPhone? It has iPod touch information on it, like old pictures that I had on my iPod touch (which I don't use anymore), and the keyboard has changed. Before I could use special icons and symbols, and now it's just basic (no shapes or anything). Is there any way to restore my iPhone to the condition that I bought it in? I don't want to have to buy another one, since I just got it.
    I also recently changed my Apple ID and password...could this have anything to do with getting my iPhone messed up?
