HT4623 Help with restoreing phone after update to software

I followed instructions to update my iPhone 4 software to version 7.0.3., including first backing up the phone to iTunes.  Once software update was downloaded, I followed instructions to restore everything from iTunes and according to the message on my phone - it was restoring.  However, when it appears to be completeI cannot use my phone, it continuously asks me to set up my phone and back to the message about restoring from iTunes.  Not sure what to do now - any suggestions?

Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

  • Ive backed up my phone and restored it after updating the software and now a lot of my apps have waiting next to them and i cant access them from the interface

    Ive backed up my phone and restored it after updating the software and now a lot of my apps are greyed out and i cant access them via the phone interface
    I can only access them via the App store

    I did plug it into itunes and then backed it up to the cloud (im actually wondering if thats my problem)
    then restored it from the cloud. 
    Maybe I should restore it from the computer (when its plugged into itunes?)
    thanks sberman

  • Help with video playback after updating to 3.1

    Hi there, after updating to 3.1 on my 2nd gen iPod Touch, I restored it and loaded some videos I converted. On playing those files, the video would play normally until at a random point the video frame would freeze, while the audio continues to play. If I quit the video app and go back to the video, it would play again normally for maybe 1 minute and then the video frame would freeze again, while audio still continues.
    These video files were working perfectly before I updated to 3.0, so I doubt that there is a problem with the files. Could someone suggest what I should do in this situation? Should I revert the firmware back to what it was before updating to 3.0?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    I have the same issue, except that if I let it go on for a few secomds the video eventually catches up. I am also watching converted videos, and mine are in mp4 format. I haven't tried m4v yet but this is still a bug that Apple should fix.

  • HT4623 cannot activate the phone after updating

    cannot activate phone after updating

    it seems like apple's activation servers have gone down under the weight of the overwhelming amount of activation requests. you will be able to activate your phone once the servers are able to catch up with the activation requests.

  • HT4623 problem activating my phone after updating it

    i have an iphone 3gs and i got it unlocked in a shop and the man said i wouldnt be able to update my software using my phone so i tried it on itunes it said updated but now it is saying it couldnt reset my phone and i tried again and it worked but now its saying it cant activate my phone so i cant use it at all? and also its saying there is no sim in the phone when there is ? i tried removing it and putting it back in but still saying that there isnt a sim? anyone know what to do

    I have the same exact problem. My password is also Greek. I have tried everything from substituting letters to putting in generic passwords (like "password," "admin," "master," etc.) and ended up disabling my phone temporarily. I can't make phone calls either (obviously), though I have not tried receiving them.

    These are user-to-user forums so I've asked the hosts to remove the email address from your post.
    The iPhone 3G only supports iOS up to version 4.2.1, so if you already have that on the iPhone then you are on the highest version that you can get for it.

  • Can't restore my phone after updating to iPhone 5.1

    I updated my phone last night to 5.1. After doing that my computer told me I had to restore my phone. I tried to restore it once and it told me that there was an error. I looked to see what might have been the problem and there were 5 different things that apple said I could do to help with it. After doing all 5 things it still won't restore. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on or what I can do to fix this issue?

    With the phone turned off, press and hold the Home button while plugging it into your computer.  Try restoring through iTunes again.

  • I have a problem in my iphone 4 with wi-fi after update to IOS6 please can help my how can solve this problem?

    I have a problem in my iphone 4 with wi-fi after update to IOS6 please can help my how can solve this problem?

    Nope
    One needs to press the home and sleep / wake keys together for the phone to reset
    The other thing I could recommend
    Let the battery run out and the phone completely "die"
    It may take a day or two with it not being used
    Then plug it in to charge and see if there is any change in behavior
    If you cannot get this to work - you may need to bring it to an Apple store

  • Has anyone else had a problem with data? after updating my phone to the new update, i have all this data, and keep getting notifications that my data is getting high. i never had this problem before.

    fair enough.  No need for any unnecessary posts either.  You issue had been addressed ad nauseum already in this forum had you bothered to search this forum (as forum etiquette would dictate) before posting.
    In any case, I hope that your problem was solved.

    Hi Keith, sorry for my late reply.
    Surely I am able to connect to the help function when Icontact the website
    of AdobeLR5.The problem is as follows,
    When I open LR5 on my computer and work with it and try to open the help
    function in the software, I don't get it.
    When I bought the CD I was naiv enough to believe that I get an independent
    working software. I learned in the meantime, that the seller does not allow
    to work with, without being connected to them.
    I don't believe that I am paranoid, but I like to buy something and use it
    without to inform the supplier that I do it. Otherwise I could have bought
    the license fpr LR5 via internet.
    Best regards
    Karl
