HT201210 Still won't let me restore my iPhone 4.

Hasn't let me restore all morning on multiple separate wifi networks. Won't give me an error code so I don't even have a clue what the problem is or how to research resolving it. DON'T SEND ME TO THE SUPPORT PAGE IT'S PROVED USELESS SO FAR.

Put iPhone into Recovery Mode and Restore with iTunes on computer. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer with Lightning Cable, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, click Restore button of iTunes.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • HT1766 won't let me restore my iphone

    my phone won't stay on and then it goes black white stripes so then I tried to restore the phone and it can't find it...error message

    Hi jo jo,
    Have you tried just resetting it (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Apple appears, the reset is in progress and the Home screen will display shortly.
    Cheers,

  • IPhone 4 won't download latest version of itunes or the OS or safari, and it won't let me restore without the latest version of itunes. Can you say circle??

    Help!
    I synced my iPhone 4, but it keeps getting the red exclamation points and an error message when I try to download the latest software. And, it won't let me restore the phone without the latest software. I'm stuck.
    Then, this morning, the phone locked up completely. I got it to turn off finally, by holding down the power button and home button at the same time for more than 10 seconds. But still no luck with the software download.
    It's Thanksgiving, and can't go to Apple.
    My phone is my only telephone (no home phone), and I use it to keep track of two email addresses (personal and work). So I'm anxious to have it fully operational.
    Suggestions? Thanks!!!

    one can't update itunes or safari seperate on the iphone those 2 are a part of the ios update
    you need to update your computer and then update your phone
    or if you have ios5 I guess you can update from settings

  • HT201303 The Itunes store constantly asks me to Improve Apple ID Security by adding three secret questions but won't accept my valid password.  I have tried to reset the password, update the billing info and it still won't let me make any purchases.

    The Itunes store constantly asks me to Improve Apple ID Security by adding three secret questions but won't accept my valid password.  I have tried to reset the password, update the billing info and it still won't let me make any purchases.

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • Trying to change password.  Changed it successfully, but still won't let me sign on. Says incorrect password

    I Am trying to download an ebook to my new iPad mini.  I already had an account for my ipad2 but forgot the pw. I successfully changed the pw, but it still won't let me sign on. Says incorrect pw. Ultimately I would like all 3 of my devices (iPhone) linked to the one account. I have "chatted" twice with Adobe. They referred me to this site. help!!!!

    What password are you talking about? What did you reset?
    When updating to iOS 7 the process will ask you to set up a four digit passcode as a security feature. If you created a passcode there then that is what you are being asked when you first turn on your iPad or when you wake it from sleep after an Autolock. If you cannot remember or do not know your passcode take a look at this Apple support page:

  • My phone has the correct AppleID in the in settings section but asks me to login with one that isn't mine.  I deleted the ID from my itunes but it still won't let me login with mine. How do I get my iPhone on the same page?

    My iphone4 has the correct Apple ID in the information settings section and asks me to login to my ID most of the time but when I try to update my apps, it asks me to login with an ID that isn't mine.  I deleted the wrong ID from my itunes but it still won't let me login with my own ID to update apps.  How do I get my iphone on the same page?

    How did you obtain these apps? All apps are DRM protected & tied forever to the account used to originally obtain them. They cannot be transferred to another Apple ID(account), nor can they be updated using any Apple ID other than the one that was used to originally obtain them.

  • Error 3194 won't let me restore iPhone 4

    The problem with this is that when I click on more info after iTunes says it won't let me restore...if I use terminal and try to edit the host file, there is no host file to edit. I get passed typing in my admin password and then it show the file: private/ect/hosts but that is it. There is literally no host file for me to even fix. This was all caused by me having just backed up my iphone 4 to my mac and then the cord was accidentally pulled out and it went into recovery mode. Tiny Umbrella, Recboot, and all other third party software does nothing to exit it from recovery mode. I just really need my phone back at this point and am hoping there is some way to get it out of recovery mode. If you guys have information for me or can help me with finding, creating, or going back to a factory host file, that would be AMAZING!
    Thanks,
    Maddy

    Do you have the latest version of iTunes installed on the computer?
    Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.

  • I recently when to England.  When I returned to the US, my iPhone 5 wouldn't find the 4G network.  I've tried restoring network settings, I've tried hard resets.  I finally wiped the phone, and now, it won't let me restore anything.  Help!

    I recently when to England.  When I returned to the US, my iPhone 5 wouldn't find the 4G network.  I've tried restoring network settings, I've tried hard resets.  I finally wiped the phone, and now, it won't let me restore anything.  I'm kind of stuck - this is both my personal and my work phone, so I'm really in a bother here.  Help!

    I had "do not disturb" on in England. I did take it off airplane mode periodically, but I never actually used the network.  I stuck to local wifi to do brousing and a bit of messaging.  It periodically told me I was on an English network, but I didn't actually use it.  And I had data roaming shut off all together. 
    when I try to restore, I get this message:
    Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.  Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes.  If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support.
    When I try it through iTunes, I get a similar message. 
    and the network just keeps saying, "Searching..."
