    Hi
    I was restoring my iphone via itune and the restoration was not completed due to incomplete disk space. I cleared the disk space and restarted itune. When I tried to syn it again, I received this error message: this iphone cannot be used because apple mobile service not started. How to resolve this issue?
    Regards

    Make sure you've got atleast 2-3GB space on the hard drive of the computer where your operating system is installed.
    Download the latest version of iTunes : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    After installing, try restoring the iPhone once again
    This should solve your issue!

  • IPhone Sync issue (and album art messed up)

    Whenever I sync my iPhone with iTunes, instead of just updating the media I have changed, it will randomly add anywhere between 30 to 300 songs that were already on my iPhone. It doesn't cause any problems with using the iPhone other then the fact that it takes a really long time to sync even when I don't change anything or add new media to sync with the iPhone.
    So far I have:
    -made sure I have the latest updates of iTunes and all software
    -re-set iSync
    -done an archive and install
    -had a genius appointment at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store and
    -they replaced my iPhone
    ...but my problems still exist. And on top of that, all of the album artwork on the iPhone is jumbled up. It looks fine in cover flow, but when I switch to the normal mode it will be the wrong artwork with the wrong song. My album artwork in itunes is not jumbled up, but all of the artwork for the movies and tv shows I have bought and downloaded from the iTunes Store has disappeared and I can't get it back by searching for album artwork.
    So, to recap, my 3 main problems are.
    1) iPhone Sync issue
    2) Album artwork jumbled up on iPhone
    3) TV Show and Movie artwork disappearing on iTunes
    If anyone can help your time would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

    Here are a couple of articles from the apple support website that might help out.

  • HT201263 iPhone restores and then goes right back into recovery mode

    Overnight, my iPhone 4 went into recovery mode on its own.  I plugged it into iTunes, which detected a phone in recovery mode and asked if I wanted to restore it.  I went ahead and clicked restore and the phone went through the whole process.  I received a notice on my PC saying that the restore was complete and to wait until prompted to unplug my phone.  I never received a completed sign and the phone just goes back into recovery mode and I eventually get another notice saying that iTunes detected a phone in recovery mode.
    Is there any hope for my phone or is it toast?

    No one does.  It's an iPhone 4.  Totally and completely out of warranty.  I use Straight Talk for my service carrier so I don't even have any sort of support from AT&T. 
    If I contact Apple, they will charge me $20 just to troubleshoot.  Hence me posting in the community.  I was hoping someone would have some further information that might assist me in determining whether there was any chance of getting the phone in working order again or if it is toast. 
    If the problem is hardware, like you indicated at first, it is most likely not even worth spending the money to have the hardware fixed (if even possible) because it is an iPhone 4, not under warranty, and pretty outdated.

    5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
    If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode
    Note: If your device is working on its own and is not in recovery mode, this set of steps is not for you; do not manually place the device into recovery mode.
    Your device may not be recognized while in recovery mode. This can happen during an update or restore of your device. Typically when your device is in recovery mode, it will show the "Connect to iTunes" logo on its display. If iTunes does not recognize the device when in this state, try the following:
    Open the Device Manager:
    Windows XP: Click Start > Run. In the resulting dialog, type devmgmt.msc and press Return.
    Windows Vista or Windows 7: Click Start. In the dialog, type devmgmt.msc and press Return on the keyboard. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click "Continue".
    Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type devmgmt.msc, and press Return.
    Click the plus icon (Windows XP and Vista) or the disclosure triangle () (for Windows 7 and 8) next to Imaging Devices, Other Devices, Portable Devices, and Universal Serial Bus Controllers to expand these sections.
    Check these sections for one or more entries called Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode). These entries may or may not have exclamation marks on them similar to the following:
    If you see only one "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" entry that has no errors on it:
    If you see two "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)" entries with exclamation marks on them:

  • IPhone Restore issues

    Hello Support Team,
    I was not able to test my iOS apps on my iPhone 4 since last 2-3 days.When I connect my device to Mac, iTunes shows two options either restore my iPhone  or Update it to latest iOS 7.I updated my device to iOS 7 but still I was not able to remove the device(iOS 6.1.3) and xcode(4.5) version compatobility issue.So Today I restore my iPhone after having a backup of data.But after successful restoration iTunes shows following messages.
    This iPhone is currently linked to an Apple ID (s●●●●●@m●●●●●.com). Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPhone.
    But I don't know either my apple id or Password which I had used to register my device.
    So please tell me the solution.

    Did this happen because i restored the software with the non-original sim card?
    No.
    Will it work again once at&t assigns a new sim card to it?
    Doubtful. You will need to get a new SIM card from AT&T to activate the iPhone for your girlfriend's line/number with AT&T. After inserting the new SIM card in the iPhone, when connecting the iPhone to iTunes you will be prompted to activate the iPhone with AT&T, but if there is a problem with the iPhone, which based on the error message provided there seems to be a problem, you probably won't be able to activate or use the iPhone.
    Is there an Apple store nearby?

  • HT201210 Help! iPhone restore issues

    i tried to update my iPhone 3G and in the process there was an error. it prompted me to restore..so i did. when trying to restore, the phone needs a sim card to continue the process. my sim card does not work so iPhone was not activated. Does this mean my phone is locked? Any thoughts and suggestions what can be done?

    The iPhone has to be activated before you can do anything with it.  In order to do this on a GSM phone you have to have a valid sim card in it.  The sim card doesn't have to be activated, it just has to be valid and present.  If your phone is locked to a specific carrier the sim card has to be from that carrier.  If you don't have one, or if yours is damaged, borrow one from someone else or contact the carrier it is locked to to see if they would give or sell you a deactivated sim card for this purpose.  If you phone is officially unlocked, any sim GSM card will work.

  • HT201442 Iphone Restore Issues

    My Iphone 4, is in recovery mode, but my computer says it is not eligible for restore. Is there anything that I could do?

    Did you already follow the steps in the article you have linked above?
    Resolve communication issues
    Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.
    Common errors: 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, or 3000-3999. These alerts refer to gs.apple.com, say "There was a problem downloading the software", or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    Configure your security software
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Common errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.

  • HT4528 iphone restore issues

    I am attempting to restore my iphone but it will not connect to the coputer. As soon as I disconnect from the charger It shuts down.

    Press the “Home” button on the front and the “Sleep/Wake” button on the top of the iPhone. Hold both buttons down for a minimum of 15 seconds, or until the device turns off. Then release both two buttons.

  • New iPhone Restore issues

    My new iPhone isn't recognizing my new number when I plug it in to iTunes. It downloaded all of my apps, but still says no service. I've reset it and tried to redo the restore 3 times now. Any pointers?

  • HT1267 my iphone restored automatically, and now i have lost everything, including apps, contacts, texts etc...i cannot retrieve apps from my itunes as my new itunes did not have all the apps, due to rebooting my comp..can someone help on how i can retrei

    My  phone  automatically restored, and now i have lost everythig apps,contacts,texts..i mean everything.... and my itunes does not have anything as my computer had to be reboot,due to a new hard disk...
    Can someone help,i really need my contacts  back asap....

    well i put my phone on charge, when the connect to itunes icon appeared.therefore, resulting in restorage of the phone.
    The prompt to connect to iTunes is automatic, but not the restore process. You must manually select restore. There is no automatic restore.
    in order to re-download apps, i will need to re-purchase...and i cannot afford the amount,
    Read the link I provided. Had you done so, you would know you do not have to re-purchase apps when re-downloaded.
    but to be honest, i am concerned about my contacts. which have completely disapeared and i just want them back.
    Unless your contacts were synced with a supported address book app on your computer as designed and intended and your contacts were included with your computer's backup, or unless your contacts are available online with a free Apple iCloud account, with a free Yahoo account, or with a free Gmail account with all providing the ability to sync contacts over the air, your contacts are gone.
