HT4859 tryin restore my iphone but no luck the progress bar stays in same spot!
tryin restore iphone but no luck thhe progress bar dosent move! help!
Hi,
I have the exact same problem as you with my daughters iPad 2. Have you found a solution?
My daughters iPad 2 has been upgraded to IOS 7 for a while, and she complained about it sometimes turning off, restarting. Yesterday it could not be turned on at all. It was fully charged. She has been looking after it - no physical damage. Before upgrading to IOS 7 there were never any problems.
Holding the home and sleep button for 10 or 15 seconds did nothing - black screen.
Although she complained, we decided to wipe the whole thing, and start on a fresh. Could not enter recovery mode (pressing home, while attaching USB). Pressing home and sleep button for 10 seconds while connected to iTunes, causes iTunes to state that there is an iPad connected that needs to be restored.
iTunes retrieves the the 7.0.4 package and starts the update. However when the Apple logo and progress bar appears nothing happens. iTunes just states "waiting for iPad". I have left it for periods of 1 hour, 2 hours or even 6 hours without any movement what so ever on the progress bar. Have tried with three different PC's - all with same result.
If I keep the home and sleep button pressed for 10 seconds during the "stuck" update, the process starts over again - unpacking the 7.0.4 package, starting the upgrade and then nothing! Apple logo and progress bar not moving.
Just checked my warranty - and it was bought in September 2011, so that is no solution. We are using PC's with Windows 7 64-bit with Windows update turned on and no other problems.
Hope somebody can help :-)

I'm updating from my iPhone 4 to the iPhone 5 and have been 'restoring' for 2 hours now and the progress bar still states I hae 6 hours remaining. Will it really take this long? How long should a restore take? It's a 32gb device. Thanks.
I am having this problem. At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2. I am not sure why this is happening.
My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
The problem mainly occurs with apps. I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them. The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage. It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup. With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up. The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete. This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
I have been wondering if others have had these same problems. -
I can't reach recovery system when I reboot- I press 'command' and 'r' quickly, but nothing happens, the progress bar begins to load... Any thoughts? It gets about halfway through loading and then stops, no mouse, no nothing. I think I'll be able to move past it if I can reach the Recovery options.
Thanks!If you are really sure that it's impossible to click in Recovery mode, then something is wrong with the machine.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.

I've tried to restore my iphone multiple times and the white bar won't go across
Including last night, I've been sitting at my computer for at least 6 to 7 hours...
Saturday morning, I woke up to a strange icon on my phone when i turned it on. It said i needed to connect my iphone to itunes. I just got my iphone a few weeks ago, and i didn't have any problems up in till now. So I causually went up to my computer, and plugged my charger into the computer, and plugged my charger to the iphone. A message popped up saying my iphone needed to be restored. So I clicked 'restore and upgrade." It was restoring for 2 hours. When it was finally complete, a small white bar apperead. Unfortuantly, even though my phone was plugged in for several hours, it still made no progess. I updated Itunes..I even updated my computer! I tried another computer which has more updated feautures to it, and it still has the same problem. Any suggestions? Greatly appreciated.Perform a Reset...
Reset
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Restore “

I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is! Can anyone help??
You selected Encrypt iPhone Backups in iTunes. Then you entered a password.
It would be that specific password it is asking for.

My iphone 4s is saying NO SERVICE.I tried to put it on airplane mode,tried to reset the network setting and also tried to restore my phone but none of the above things worked.Do you guys have any idea what should i do now?
Hi sunnylordz,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you have no service on the iPhone. It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting. There is one step you did not mention trying that i think is worth trying.
If you see No Service in the status bar of your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Remove the SIM card. If the SIM card is damaged, worn, or bent, or if it's too big or small for the SIM tray, contact your carrier for a new one. Then reinsert the SIM card.
Cheers,

Hi, i'm trying to update my iphone but this is the msg i'm getting, can you please help me. thank you. "the iphone ''C & M '' could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (3194)"
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error3194
This means that either your firewall/antivirus is blocking access to Apple's servers, or you have used your computer to jailbreak an iDevice in the past. The link above tells you how to resolve this issue. -
i have restored my iphone but it has been 2days saying that the activation server is not available. please help me.
That is almost always because the phone was hacked to illegally unlock it. Contact the carrier it's locked to and ask about having it legitimately unlocked. If they will not do so, you will not be able to activate that phone.

Ive just restored my iphone but it wont let me activate it now, either by wi-fi or through itunes. what do i do?
I just bought the phone off ebay and it was working fine before I tried to update it. This is when the problems started. Firstly, it wouldnt update because it said there was something wrong with the iphone, so i chose to restore it as there was nothing on the phone anyways. After I restored it, its saying there is no sim inserted and it wont let me activate it. I really need help with this.Try again now. I had the same issue this morning with my phone. After a restore it said it could not activate and to try again later.
If you try again and it doesn't work, click the home button and edit your WiFi settings. Forget all networks and start the activation again.
Instead of entering any WiFi details this time, scroll to the bottom and click "Connect to iTunes".
This is what I did and it activated for me.
**EDIT** Sorry, I missed the part about the missing sim. Mine did not say that. It just said "your phone could not be activated at this time. try again later" -
I need to restore my iphone but itunes can't connect to it because of my password which I can't input becasue it has no service and needs to be restored. what can I do to restore it? Is there a way to input the password?
You will need to put the iPhone into Recovery Mode to be able to restore it in iTunes.
To put your iPod/iPhone into recovery mode:
1. Make sure the iPod/iPhone is connected to a computer with iTunes installed on it.
2. Hold down the sleep/wake button(top button) and the home button at the same time until the iPod/iPhone screen goes black then shows the apple logo( usually 10-15 seconds).
3. Once the apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the sleep/wake button and keep holding the home button.
4. The ipod/iphone screen should show an itunes logo and usb cable if you were successful. A dialog box will appear in iTunes that states an iPod/iPhone in recovery mode has been detected if you are successful.
5. Click ok, then click the Restore button
After that you should be up and running in no time!
I hope that this is helpful. -
Received an authorized unlock code from apple/AT&T for my off-contract 3GS (8GB). Per the “Completing Authorized iPhone Unlock” instructions, I connected to iTunes to back up and restore so my iPhone can be unlocked! But after the restore my iPhone is stuck at the activation screen, it will not activate saying “Your iPhone cannot be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable”. I tried this again and again for countless times, no way! I have my old AT&T simcard and other carrier’s simcard. Both will not help. Please help me to activate and start using my phone.

I have restored my iphone but camera shutter still will not open/work
Try closing the Camera app completely and see if then works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.
