    When you restore, which error # appears?

  • TS3694 I am getting 1015 error message when trying to restore iphone 3Gs

    I am getting error message when trying to restore iphone 3gs

    If this is your phone, it appears that you had either loaded the iOS 7 beta on it and it is now expired or you are not trying to restore the phone correctly. Did you attempt to update using something other than the standard procedure in iTunes? You cannot install a custom iOS file.

  • Itunes error message when trying to restore a backup on my new iphone5

    I recently purchased an iPhone 5. I have been attempting to restore my backup on my new phone and it allows me to to go through the whole process however once it gets to the end of the download an error message pops up stating "iTunes could not restore from backup because there was an error"**. My laptop has Windows 8. I have no idea how to fix this problem and I would love to be able to get my contacts and text messages back. If you have any tips or suggestions any and all help is much appreciated!!! Thanks in advance!!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPhone 4S will not start or charge, error message when trying to restore in recovery mode

    So my iPhone 4S shorted out the other night while I was charging it. I did the hard reset and it restarted itself. But later that evening, it turned off and wouldn't restart no matter what and would not charge. When I connect it to my computer (mac) iTunes recognizes it and says it is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. It starts the restore process and the apple logo comes up with a loading bar but then when it gets to the "verifying restore with Apple" it gives an error message (9) and then the phone goes back. Please help!

    Hey rileyec,
    I found this information about error 9:
    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

    If those steps do not resolve the issue, I would attempt to perform a recovery-mode restore:

  • I have an iPhone 4 and tried to update to iOS6 but received an error message when trying to restore.  The phone is no longer recognised on iTunes (using my Windows PC).  I have reinstalled iTunes but this has not worked.  What can I do??

    I have followed the instructions on the apple support pages and still cannot get my phone to work.  It continues to show the iTunes USB picture and is not recognised on my iTunes on the windows PC.  When I connect the phone to my iMac it shows no data and says I can restore to factory setting.  However if I do this will all my data be erased?  How do I get my phone and data back?  I have saved most of the photos that were on the phone but all my contact details and messages are stored and I really need to get them back!  Would have limited memory on the phone when trying to update caused this problem?

    Thanks.  I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
    Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
    Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
    Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
    It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
    Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data.  Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
    Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

  • TM Give Error Message When Trying to Restore HD Contents

    So a few weeks back I encountered a problem with my G4 powerbook. The processor was running wide open, non-stop, draining battery life and overheating easily. I decided to try a complete hard-disk wipe and fresh install, thinking that I could restore from my TM backups. So I backed everything up and did the wipe, then chose the option to restore data from a TM backup. Everything went swimmingly, until I was about 25 minutes from completion and TM gave me an error message about a file not able to be transferred (movie file in iTunes) and it could not restore my data. Any ideas on what might be causing this? If I go back into my most current backup and delete the offending file, do you think that I might be able to get back to my usual system? Any and all help will be much appreciated, thank you!

    Creedym...
    I have a very similar problem with my mini-notebook model NB305.
    I'm getting the same message and can't get past F2 or F12.
    Bottom line; I ordered the recovery data from Toshiba on-line by model number ---not by type. They sent two DVDs. My unit doesn't have an optical drive.
    First call to "John"---yes, you can copy the data to a thumb drive and use that.
    Almost two hours of transferring --- the NB305 did not respond to the thumb drive.
    Second call to "Paul". After some consultation on his part with someone else he told me that they don't make a thumbdrive (USB) recovery disk for my model, that's why I received two DVDs. ! I would have take it to a shop where they etc...
    I haven't decided what to do next. Maybe purchase an external drive rather than take it to a repair shop where it will probably cost more than buying an inexpensive external drive.

  • Last time I synched miphone to iTunes it destroyed my phone (error code came up and asked me to restore phone....kept getting error messages when trying to restore) is there any way to synch wirelessly?

    Any way to download new IOS version, upload my music without synching to iTunes? Apple had to send me a new phone mine was so FUBAR'd after synching to iTunes :(

    If you could successfully download iOS 5, then you would be able to sync over Wi-Fi rather than iTunes. But older iOS versions must be synced through iTunes.

    I continue to get an error 37 message when trying to restore my iphone 3GS which crashed after trying to upload the last update. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Did you manage to fix the issue?
    I have exactly the same issue as described above : I installed the update 5.1.1 on my iphone 3GS and since then, I can not turn it on anymore. In Itunes, I get an error 37 when I am doing a restauration and it stops.
    This error has nothing to do with firewall : I tried to restore the phone on several computers, including in an Apple reseller and it did not work anywhere.
    I spent several hours on phone with the hotline from Apple which arrived to the conclusion that it is a hardware issue, but the phone was working perfectly fine until I installed this update!

    Why do Iget an error message when trying to sign in my icloud?  Can you also tell me how to combinned my icloud accounts?

    If they were in your camera roll and on your phone when you last backed up, they would be included in your iCloud backup.  If you restored the entire backup you should recover them.
