HT1766 How to restore the iPhone as a new device?
I am unlocking my phone through Apple & the mobile company, here are the steps I need to follow. I am not sure how to restore my phone as a new device!?
iTunes
1. Back up the device using iTunes.
2. Restore the iPhone as a new device to complete the unlock.
3. Restore the iPhone again from Back up file to get all the data back.
Thank you for your reply.
I see. So When it asks me would you like to set it up as a
1. New Device,
2. Back Up from iTunes or
3. Back up from iCloude
I should select as a New Device? And re-use my current apple ID? I selected option 2 and didn't get the message "Congradulation, your iPhone is now unlocked"

HT4061 how to restore the iphone 4 when you get a restore message error (-1)?
how to restore the iphone 4 when you get a restore message error (-1)?
If the iPhone was jailbroken, you get this error due to baseband mismatch. No help for such iPhones here in this forum.
if not, Restore on another computer. If error persists it is hardware failure. -
I have iphone 3gs. I upgraded its software through itunes but it stopped reading sim. Then I restored but since then iphone is locked with message to insert a carrier compatible sim. I've checked my sim, it is ok. How to restore the iphone?
I'm going to make some guesses here. You bought your phone second hand. In other words, not from Apple and not from your carrier. What you got is a hacked phone that was originally carrier locked, most likely to AT&T in the US. You are NOT in the US. (If I get any of this wrong, please tell me).
What has happened is when you updated the software, it was re-locked to the original carrier. ONLY the carrier can authorize an unlock. If it is locked to AT&T, you're out of luck as they WILL NOT unlock an iPhone for any reason.
If it's locked to another carrier, you will have to find out what carrier that is (you can NOT tell by looking at the model number) and find out if they unlock iPhones. If you can't find out, or if they do not, then your only real option is to sell the phone and purchase one from a LEGITIMATE source.

How to synchronise the Iphone with a new computer
Hi all,
I have been googling the internet, but haven't come accross any good information yet. So I give it a try here.
I recently switched from a PC with Windows/XP to an iMac. I synchronised my iPhone 3GS with the Itunes on the Windows machine. My music is installed on a NAS, so attaching the music to the Imac was relatively easy.
No I want to start synchronising the iPhone with the Mac without having to fear losing my contacts and Photos. I don't mind that I have to reload the music. Because as said above, I have all the music on a NAS.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers, JanDisable autosync in itunes, connect your phone, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures taken with the phone and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your phone got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

How to transfer the iphone into a new mac
how do I edit playlists in my iphone using a new mac (the playlists were originally created on a Dell computer)
Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

My phone was stolen but I am pretty sure it was recently 'backed up' to the cloud when I updated the software how can I find out ?
I got no idea how you can lose iTunes account. Your purchases will be there as long as it's still available.
There is no transfer purchases option in iPad. You can transfer purchases when you connect to computer iTunes where you usually sync. -
When I restore the iPhone as a new one, then it works. So the backup is senseless otherwise you're not able to see your missed calls in the NC.
In the forum I found that switching notification off and back on helped.
Worth a try, I would think. -
How to restore the contacts from iPad 2 to iPhone 5? I lost some of my contacts after deleting a closed email account; however I have them all in my iPad!
Do you see those in www.icloud.com? Yes- sign in to icloud on the phone.
No- how did you get those to the ipad? -
i have deleted all contacts in icloud but still have them on my iphone (which is backed up as well to iTunes) how can i restore the iphone data to the iCloud so it will resend it to my mac book and iPad? I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
thanks royThere's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes. Look for that.
iCloud does not store music. If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer. -
I have an iphone 4 started the problem saying no service, then when restarting asked to connect to itunes and became jammed in MDU mode, I connect to itunes and clicked on restore, it went through all the steps and nearly completed it gives me an error message saying cannot be restored error -1. Can anybody help me how to restore my iphone. or what to do next, some reseller asked me to go the shop where I bought to replace it for me as this error cannot be restored by any shop. It has to be returned to apple and get it replaced. The warranty already expired and don't know what to do.
Please helpError 1 or -1
This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

Hi. I clicked some snaps from my iphone and post that without copying it i restored the iphone with all apps etc available from the backup taken. How do i get back the photos which were clicked earlier. Is there a way to get it back?? Please help
Yes i had not taken back up before restoring it. However i was just going through some links on the net and there is a software available for MAC to retrieve such lost data. But the point is will the said software work on iphone as the OS is not MAC..
Will have to give a try to this. If successful will share it with all. Anyone else has any idea about this please so share.
