HT201210 I CANT RESTORE MY IPHONE 4S, i tried many times already
Hi, i tried to download iOS 6.1 yesterday but just suddenly appear itunes, what shoul i do?
Hello, helena1671.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The usual cause for error 29 on a restore of an iOS device usually mean a security software conflict or host file modifications. Below, I have included a couple articles that will walk you through some troubleshooting steps.
Resolve issues between iTunes and security software
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125
Check your hosts file
After you update iTunes to the latest version, check the hosts file to make sure your computer can contact the update server.
If you’re using a Windows computer, follow the steps in this Microsoft support article (note that resetting thehosts file will affect software services that rely on hosts file redirects). If you're using Windows on a business computer, consult your IT department to be sure applications will work correctly after you reset the hosts file.
If you're using a Mac, follow these steps:
In the Finder, choose Applications > Utilities.
Open Terminal.
Enter this command and press Return:
sudo nano /private/etc/hosts
Enter the password you use to sign in to your computer and press Return. You won't see text appear in the Terminal window when you enter the password. Make sure you use a nonblank administrator password.
Terminal will display the hosts file.
Navigate using the arrow keys and look for an entry containing “gs.apple.com”.
Add the # symbol and a space ("# ") to the beginning of the gs.apple.com entry.
Press Control-O to save the file.
Press Enter when asked for the filename and Control-X to exit the editor.
Restart your computer.
Try to update or restore your iOS device again.
Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4451
Also, I would recommend not making any hardware modifications to the iOS device as it will void the warranty. If service is needed please contact us here.
Cheers,
Jason H.

Hi, i cannot activate my iphone 3Gs i tried many times using wifi and connect. to itunes but activtion is always failed. can you help me to fix this problem?
Do you have a SIM in the phone?
A SIM is required to activate it.
If you DO have a SIM in it, the most common cause of this problem is a phone that was hacked to illegally unlock it and has been updated or restored. -

So I plugged in my iPhone 5 to my computer for the first time and I accedentally pressed restore. My wife has a iPhone 4s and has plugged in her phone to the computer many times to sync. So when i restored i got all her photos and lost mine which were very very importent. So how do I get my photos back?
Unless your photos were backed up somewhere, they're gone. They were wiped off your phone when you restored it from your wife's data.

Are you getting an error message?
Are you using the latest version of iTunes?
Are you using a laptop or a desktop?
If it's a desktop, are you using a USB port in the front or the back?
Are you using the Apple charger that came with your phone?
What do you see on the screen on your iPhone? -

i cant restore my iphone and it kept on giving me this infor 'the iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error occurred[1015]
It's 99% sure theat the iPhone was hacked/jailbroken to use another carrier or downgrading IOS. There's no help with this.
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not 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 are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

I bought a iphone 4 on online . But the guy forgot the his apple id pasword and i cant restore the iphone cuz i need the password is their any way i can restore the iphone . ??
iOS 7 has an antitheft feature. A stolen phone can NEVER be used again, except by the original owner or with the authorization of the original owner. If you bought a stolen phone that was your mistake; get your money back. While it's possible that the seller "forgot" their password, that is an easily corrected problem. In most countries knowingly possessing stolen property is a crime. Even if you don't know it is stolen, it can be taken from you and returned to the rightful owner.
If it really wasn't stolen, and it was an honest mistake on the part of the seller, the seller can easily correct the mistake and authorize your activation of the phone. -
