HT201263 iphone is stuck at "Restoring Iphone Firmware". Please Help.
I was restoring and updating my Iphone 5 to IOS 7.0,6 and during the process after completing more than 50% of the process my phone is stuck at "Restoring Iphone Firmware". Please Help.
Hello nishit.kadia,
It sounds like your phone became unresponsive when you attempted a restore of the device. Try resetting your device with this process:
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

I would try putting the device in to recovery mode, and attempting the restore again:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

IMessage will NOT activate, even AFTER complete iPhone restore.. PLEASE HELP!
For the last couple of days I have had problems with my iMessage playing up. For the last two days however, it's completely stopped working. Previously used to work fine! Actions I have ALREADY undertaken to try and fix iMessage always resorting in some kind of error message (i.e. an error has occurred, or activation unsuccessful).
Specs: iPhone 5s, 16gb. Runing: iOS 8.0.2. Based in Australia.
Turning both Facetime and iMessage off, hard resetting iPhone and trying to activate them again
Turning Facetime and iMessage off, resetting NETWORK settings and trying to activate iMessage again
FULL restore of iPhone through itunes and restoring contents from backup, still didn't work.
Changing DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4. Tried to activate both via cellular network and wifi.
Let 'waiting for activation' overnight knowing sometimes activation takes up to 24 hours.
Checked time and date settings - they are set to automatic
EVERYTHING. Please understand there is nothing I have not tried, searching through hundreds of Apple threads.
After all of these tries I can only get to iMessage 'waiting for activation' where my email is ticked but won't work to send a message and my number is greyed out. That's the furthest I've gotten with no prevail.
Can some iPhone GENIUS please help!! I'm officially through trying it all!UPDATE:
Make sure that in 'mail, contacts & calendars' that under 'contacts' you have valid information in put for who you are (save your number in your phone and select it from your contacts menu to ensure that your iPhone has your details).
After days of not knowing, also exhausting all the possible steps, I decided to go as far as 'waiting for activation' and just leave my phone. It happened to be overnight.
I had 'no addresses' in the 'send and receive' category selected (I deselected my email address) and after about 8-9 hours, basically by morning - iMessage activated itself, checking my phone number and sending and receiving iMessages as per usual!
Yes, that's right - what I'm saying is if you've tried EVERYTHING like I honestly had, try the waiting game. It worked for me, I really hope it works for all of you too!

Hi there,
my Ipad is stuck on the iTunes logo. When I try to restore my ipad again it would get stuck on Restoring Ipad Firmware. I had unplugged it several times; and redo the whole restoring agian but its still the same thing. Please really need your help in how I can restore my Ipad to the way it was before.
please advise,
Alvinremoving volume control doesn't work for me. please don't try. I tried because i have replaced my LCD before and it is easier for me to do so. Removing your LCD will cause whole lot more issue, such as damage to your WIFI antenna, power and volume button, LCD, and all kind of issue.
The only solution that "experts" can tell you is to restore via DFU mode and this WILL NOT solve the issue, or restore with save SHSH, which i believe most of you don't have. DON"T WASTE YOUR TIME AND GET A DEVICE THAT YOU CAN REALLY "WIPE" AND "RESTORE".
So far there is no solution to fix the "Restoring IPAD firmware" or "Updating IPAD firmware". I really don't know why Apple is adding the check after IOS 7 which is causing so many issues for ipad 2. I guess the reason behind is because the warranty expire and perfect time to force ipad 2 user to buy new ipad, which I personally don't feel like much improvement. WHY WE NEED APPLE approves when restoring the device that we already paid FULL price for?????
It is ashamed that the issue caused by update or restore are not covered by warranty too. so stay away from new IOS and it will only brick your device and force you to get new device. it is opened secret that new upgrade for any device will ONLY slow down your device and force you to buy new one, especially when new IOS is not making your FLY. -
Hi
When i am trying to restore backup to my iphone, its coming up backup is not compatible with iphone. Please help me restore.
Thanks
MandyFrom the article that the question was posted from:
Error 1611
This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Try reading the solutions you find in the future and follow them. -
During restore iPod stuck on RESTORING IPOD FIRMWARE
As stated by me above, during restore iPod got stuck on RESTORING IPOD FIRMWARE. Last time tried different computer, it did work. Next, with different firmware file (when the-other-computer-trick stopped working) like 2.0.2 and then upgrading it - worked for a time. Now, I cannot find ANY way to restore it. Just by itself it accidentally and randomly enters the so called DFU mode and this time I just cannot restore it, every time it's stuck on RESTORING IPOD FIRMWARE
try have it restored in an apple store mate..
if that still doesnt work, send it back and have it replaced.. -

My iPhone recently broke so I was sent a brand new iPhone to replace it, however, since receiving this phone, I cannot access anything which was previously backed up onto iCloud from my last iPhone. Please help me!
If you are trying to restore to an iCloud backup, this has to be done during the initial setup process. If your phone is already set up, you will have to go back to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content & Settings, then go back through the setup screens again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to complete.
Also, your replacement phone must be running the same iOS version or higher to restore to your backup. If you are running an older version of iOS than the device that was backed up, your backup will not be visible when you choose to restore to your iCloud backup. If this is the case, you'll have to update your replacement phone first. -
I need to reset my ipad, but not my iphone. Please help?
I Need to reset my iPad mini to factory default without resetting my iphone. Please Help?
Doing a reset only requires that you hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The device will restart. This would have no affect on your other device. If you are speaking of a restore, even that will only affect the device that you do the restore on, not both devices. Can you explain what you think the problem is, or what you are experiencing?

My iphone 5 doesn't sync with itunes on my pc. it says this computer has previously been synced to another io6 device or iphone? please help what to do?
The error message you're seeing is likely the other way around -- i.e. something like "This iPhone has previously been synced with a different computer". There's no problem syncing multiple iOS devices to the same computer.
However, the reverse is not true for the iPhone -- you cannot connect an iPhone to another computer without it being erased, even if you manually manage music and video. So, it sounds like you've been syncing your iPhone to a different computer?
Also, 5.1 (not 5.0.1) is the latest iOS. -
I purchased an audiobook in Nov 2012 using iPhone 4S and then upgraded to iPhone 5 in Dec. Now I am not seeing the audio book in purchase history in iTunes. This means I am not able to get the book in my new iPhone. Please help.
Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store. If you don't have it on your computer (audiobooks go into the Books part of your iTunes library) nor on a backup, then if it's still in the store you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

hello my iphone 3gs just been stolen how can i block the iphone and how could i track it i don't know for sure if i have find my iphone? please help i got many accounts on it and i don't have a passcode :((
It was never free for the 3GS.
It is if the initial sign-up is done on an iPhone 4, iPad or iPod touch 4th gen.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436:
After I sign up for Find My iPhone for free, can I use it on other iOS devices?
Yes, if your devices are running iOS 4.2. For example, you can sign up for Find My iPhone for free on your iPad and use the same account information to sign in to MobileMe on your iPhone 3GS and turn on Find My iPhone. -
My iphone is at tech service and since it is in guarantee period most probably they will give a new one.Thats why I want to deactivate or sign out my apple ID from that Iphone. Please help me, what shoud I do?
Wow... you seriously over paid for an iPhone.
That probably explains why you have/had no clue you were purchasing a locked device and think it's an Apple problem to get it unlocked. -
They say purchased but wont go into my itunes library or onto my iphone. Please help.
Hey there aussieboss123,
It sounds like you are wanting to download an album that you pre ordered, not all the songs are downloading. First, use this section of the following article to see if the tracks download:
Download a pre-ordered item
When a pre-ordered item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know that you can download your pre-order.
If you enabled the option to automatically download prepurchased content in iTunes, then your pre-ordered content may already be in your library. If not, click the download link provided in your email notification, and your pre-ordered content will begin to download. You can also use the Check for Available Downloads feature in iTunes on your computer (choose Store > Check for Available Downloads) to begin downloading your pre-order.
iTunes Store: About pre-orders
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5714
If it does not, I would use the following article to report a problem with the purchase to the iTunes Store support directly:
