  • "Preparing iPhone for restore"since last 2 hr.s nothings happening any help?

    I get this massage since least 2 hr.s"Preparing iPhone for restore"and nothing is happening.
    Appreciate any help on urgent basis

    I appear to have managed to fix the issue through googling the error code (rather than ignoring it this time), and figured I'd add the solution here for anybody in the future.
    I simply moved my cable connecting my pc and iPhone to a USB port in the back of my computer rather than using the ones in the front and the process kicked off almost instantly without any further issues.

  • IPhone 3GS stuck in recovery mode, iTunes "Preparing iPhone for restore" nothing is happening.

    When loading iTunes this morning an update that I had been putting off popped up and I figured since I was going to be in the house for a while I'd finally do it. An error took place that I foolishly ignored and made no note of.
    My iPhone is now stuck in Recovery mode (I assume so anyway, after having googles my problem for hours), iTunes tells me I need to restore the phone and so I click to allow it to. It then gets to the "Preparing iPhone for restore" and just sits there, doing nothing.
    I am unable to use my phone and I feel very much out of my depth as I have NO idea what to do. Any help (noob friendly) would be greatly appreciated.

    Preparing your iPhone for restore its supposed to be about 1-2 minutes! Do you see any errors the time you plug in the wire from your iPhone to iTunes?

  • Problem recovering new iPhone 4, Stuck on "Preparing iphone for restore", then giving an error message

    I recently bought an iPhone 4, and it worked just fine, until I tried to sync it with iTunes. Whenever I would try to sync it, it would stall somewhere in the process, and then an error message would come up eventually. It would say something along the lines of "Process timed out, Internal Harware error" or somthing like that, there were several error messages.
    So then I tried to restore the phone. I did it through iTunes, and eventually the process stalled on the "Preparing iPhone for restore" part, and then it would give me an error message (4013). My phone is stuck on the connect to itunes screen. When I do connect it to iTunes it says that the phone is in recorvery mode and that and needs to be restored. So again, I try to restore it and it gets stalled in the "Preparing iPhone for restore" part. I have also recieved the 2005 error code. I have tried to fix it by unplugging all other USB's, using a different USB port, disabling firewalls ect.. I have the newest version of iTunes, and my phone is running 7.0.3 (Can't update now that the restore is necessary, and I couldn't update anyways because the same problem I had syncing it occured when I tried to update.) I have Windows XP.

    Error 1 is a baseband error. If you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take iPhone to Apple for resolution of this problem. If no coverage then search the Web for Error 1. Users have reported some success with this Error 1.

  • Preparing iphone for restore?!?! anyone else?!?!

    ohkay, so as a lot of you, i have been updated my gen 1 iphone to v2.0. SO, just a quick question. it has been in the "preparing iphone for restore" for about, oh, an hour and a half-ish. what exactly does that mean? what is the phone doing as it is being prepared for restore?
    fuuurthermore, i have an 8GB iphone with only about 1.22GB free... so is it normal that it is taking so long? i shouldnt unplug and replug, right???
    let me know

    I got the same thing basically... 3g iphone, updated to software version 2.0.1 It returned an unknown error (6) and dropped my iPhone from iTunes. I got the "plug into iTunes" message on the phone and I started restore. Upon restore it hung up on "preparing iPhone for restore" for an hour, no movement of the progress bar, I disconnected it and plugged it in again, This happened 2 more times after a computer and iPhone reboot.
    I read that it doesn't work well on usb 1.1, so I switched to a usb 2.0 port and it appears to be working, restore is almost complete. So, really, check your usb, make sure there is no hub connected and plug DIRECTLY into a usb 2.0 port... hopefully that helps!
    If I have the option not to restore to 2.0.1 I will likely take that option... I've spent hours on this now and my intention for syncing was to update a playlist... Although I couldn't play music through my RAZR, I never spent hours (and lost the use of my phone on a Friday night) trying to make it work again... good luck to you.

  • Preparing iPhone for restore  -- Questions!

    I was just making sure this is the stage in the update that is
    A: Having the issues
    B: Taking the longest
    I'm unable to go back and forth from my Iphone to The store, and my iphone has an image of the itunes logo and the connector piece on the screen. It has been this way for a few hours now and was wondering what I can do.

    Ipad 4 won't turn on at all, and is recognized by itunes as being in recovery mode- when I try to restore it stalls on the portion stating "preparing device for restore" and on the page it says "itunes is restoring the software." Been like this for a day. I read the restore notes on apple, but this seems to be a little more unique than the standard recovery issues. Any ideas as to why I seem to keep stalling during the restore process?

    Couple of things I can think of before going to the Apple store.
    First, if you can, power off the iPad. Then connect it to the charger that came with the iPad and plug that into a known good wall outlet. Leave it there at least an hour then try to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
    Also, you mentioned you have the latest iTunes. But it would be good to check the actual version. If the iPad is running iOS 7 you need iTunes 11.1 or later.

    Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
    You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.
