    You need to be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer to sync the iPhone 5; this may require buying a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store. OS upgrades aren't covered by the warranty.

    Mac book pro stops responding after Maverick OS restart. Currently have a circle with a line through it after 20+ hours. Tried to shut it down and use the Time Machine to restore but no response. How can I restore with Time Machine if it will not start?

    sonjadg,
    you can purchase a replacement pair of grey installation DVDs for your MacBook Pro from either Apple or iFixit. If Startup Manager is only showing an OS X Installer volume, then it sounds like the Mavericks installer had a problem midway through its installation process. To fix this, you’re going to need to erase your internal disk and reïnstall your original version of OS X from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD, use Software Update  to get it back to 10.6.8 (presuming that your MacBook Pro originally came with Snow Leopard), and then restore from Time Machine.

  • I restored my iphone but now it will not power on fully.  The Itunes plugin appears.  I plug it in and restore as requested but the phone never restarts like it says it will.  I have done this several times now but nothing. Suggestions?

    Sounds like time to take it back to Apple for repair.

  • Iphone bought in USA will not take greek sim card, iphone bought in USA will not take greek sim card

    I bought an iPhone 5 in Boston, "unlocked" . The salespeople told me it simply needed to have a sim card inserted, in any country outside the USA.
    When I went to my local phone store in Greece, I was told this iPhone will not take a Greek sim card.
    Now I have this very expensive phone which I cannot use in the place where I live.
    What do I do now?

    thanks so much. you give me courage.
    I am certain that this phone is legitimately unlocked,
    unless I was handed a locked by mistake, but I really doubt that.
    I emphasized to them where I was taking the phone, small island in Aegean, far from apple stores and assistance, also emphasized my weak computer knowledge.
    So far, I have only gone to the one local electronics store which services the national phone company.
    There is also a Vodaphone outlet, where I will have an exploratory conversation, as soon as possible,
    I also have yet to make it to the somewhat vestigial office of the national phone company.
    Thanks for hope and a sense of direction.

  • HT201210 i can't restore my iphone

    i downloaded an itunes in my laptop..after i've connected my iphone 3G and then something happended..it says iphone is in an recovery mode..you must restore this iphone..i've restored it but the error occurred..error 1015

    From the article that the statement was posted from:
    Errors related to downgrading iOS
    The required resource can't be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it's newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed.   Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version isn't supported.
    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the software for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version isn't supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you're now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

    I cant' restore my iPhone 3GS. Error 37. Anyone has any suggestions?

    I had a similar issue with my Daughter's 3GS - I tried restoring it with "Restore Mode" and it would not do it. A quick search led me to MacRumors.com where I found an article on restoring your device via DFU Mode. It takes awhile to do it, but it definitely fixed my issue.
    Good luck!

  • HT201210 How can I restore my iPhone? - server seems permanently unavailable

    I cannot restore my iPhone to get rid of a software bug (disappearing volume control that also affects alert sounds and softphone usage).
    Every time I try to use iTunes to do a restore it just says that the update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable......for 6 weeks???
    I have followed the guidelines - 2009 iMac  / latest OSX 10.8.4 / latest iTunes 11.0.4 / logged in as administrator / firewall turned off  / net connection seems perfect in every other respect.
    Any ideas out there please? I am stuck - any help would be massively appreciated.

    Thank you but I am a little out of my depth technically so please forgive me if my response here is not logical (i.e.dumb). I have done a search on the hard drive for gs.apple.com and come up with just the following file. I am afraid I don't know what to do from here but am hoping this means more to you.

  • I can't restore the iPhone archive because a certain file is unrestorable

    Hello everyone, I'm new to this Discussion Board I've been an iPhone 3GS 32GB user for over a year now, and I decided to make an account here and start this topic, because I've got a really serious problem... As the topic title can give you a hint on what is going on, let me describe everything in detail:
    Not so long ago I had upgraded my iPhone with iOS 4.0 to 4.0.1 (I did that 1 day after the official release of the new version). 2 days ago, when I wanted to make a call, I came across an issue manifesting itself by iPhone nearly instantly showing "Call ended" and later on "Call failed", consecutively. It was happeninng so, regardless of whom I wanted to call. What's noticable is that I could send and receive text messages, as well as receive incoming calls, without any problems. Making some research on the Internet, I found out that similar issues had been occurring with the earlier versions of the OS. None of the solutions described (turning off the automatic date and time setting and so on) didn't help me, as well as turning the iPhoone on and off, trying to get into the DFU mode, and downgrading to iOS 4.0 (I couldn't downgrade anyway) which didn't help either. Not knowing what to do next, I restored my iPhone to the factory settings, losing, as obvious, all apps, text messages, contacts etc. along the way. After this restore I was able to make outgoing cals again but wanting to have all my text messages, I decided to load the newest backup onto my iPhone, and see what would happen. After loading the backup, I had all my contest back again but I was also again unable to make outgoing calls... (this proved that the issue was caused by some saved iPhone settings, or something similar, but not the iOS version itself). In this case I had nothing else to do, but to get back to the factory settings once again. As I cared abot keeping all my text messages, I read on the Internet the the way to save them is to copy the file called "3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28" from the backup folder. In the next step you were supposed to make a backup of the phone restored to the factory settings, and overrite the file in that backup with the one you had copied earlier (to spare myself any problems, I also copied the "31bb7ba8914766d4ba40d6dfb6113c8b614be442" file with the contacts). The problem turned out to be the fact that in the guide about all these files, there wasn't mentioned any information that you also should copy the following files: Info.plist, Manifest.plist i Status.plist (unfortunately, I found out about this fact later). I ompletely lost the rest of these files be deleting folders with the previous backup.
    So now, when I put the files I had copied earlier to the folder with the new backup, I am presented with this kind prompt while trying to restore: "iTunes cannot restore "iPhone (XXX)" because some files from the archive could not be restored" (or something similar because, since I have the Polish version of iTunes installed, I'm not sure how it is put in the original literally). I've tried to restore these *.plist files with some file recovery tools. These tools do find these files from the same day (that is, the 18th), but they differ from each other by the time they were last modified (some are from 12:19A.M., others from 3:20P.M. etc.), as well as they differ from the 2 files I had copied by the same manner. I assume that these differences in time (as well as in checksums that I found out about) cause the backup to not be seen by iTunes when I put these revovered *.plist (along with the 2 files that I had copied) in the backup folder. The same result occurrs when I recover these files with the long names the same way I had recovered the *.plist files, and put them in the backup folder with these *.plist files.
    I can't deny that I would really like to have all my text messages back.... Does anyoneone know how to import them back on the iPhone from that "3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28" file, because I'm getting really frustrated here I read it could be achieved by changing the *.plist files checksums if iTunes doesn't want to restore a backup the normal way. If this is the only way to do it (or if there are any other work arounds), please guide me on how to do it. I really need help

    Would you recommend upgrading again to Mountain Lion after the Snow Leopard upgrade?
    Yes, Lion and Mountain Lion are a significant upgrade from Snow Leopard, and they fully support iCloud syncing.
    First verify that your model number supports Mountain Lion (I'm pretty sure it does), then check how much RAM you have. Your model only comes with 1 GB (https://support.apple.com/kb/sp16), which is inadequate for later versions. Upgrade to 4 GB if you haven't already. The upgrade is a do-it-yourself project that will take 5 minutes if you are at all handy with modern electronics; you just remove the 1 GB DIMM and insert 2 2GB DIMMs. Here's an example of a memory upgrade kit: http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Modules-Macbook-KTA-MB667K2-4GR/dp/B001265GI2/ref =sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1362357462&sr=8-2&keywords=imac+memory+2gb.
    This is not an endorsement of this vendor or this manufacturer; it is just a reference for the type of memory you need. (Not that there's anything wrong with Amazon or Kingston.)

  • Can't restore 3G - "iPhone software update server could not be contacted"

    my phone was stolen and subsequently returned to me. an incorrect passcode was inserted on numerous occassions by the thief and this action has subsequently blocked my phone.
    it no longer accepts my original passcode.
    i've managed to get the phone in to recovery mode but when i try and restore it, i get a message saying: "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The network connection timed out."
    i proceeded to installed the latest version of iTunes; and turned off my firewall. i also rebooted the computer - to no avail.
    Please help!

    yeah, i've done that too. i'm getting a message that says "coreFoundation.dll was not found" so i'm downloading it right now...
    hope that works - fingers crossed!
    thanks for your help!

  • Can i restore my iPhone to a previous backup not listed in iTunes but is in my mobile sync folder?

    my backup/restore went wrong yesterday and a second backup was taken but that was only half of the info on my iphone. Can i use a previous backup or does itunes overide them to the newest version. I have read that the mobilesync folder in Library stores previous backups which i have found but i dont know what to do with the file now. Any help??? I really need my notes and previous sms messages that arent on the most recent backup but on the previous one

    Again, iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per device. Any other backups listed are backups created from restore points. These are time/date stamped & are not overwritten.
