I am trying to recover a 4s which is diabled

This is driving me NUTS, I am trying to recover a 4s which is disabled and the screen has the msg. "wait 23,477,878 minutes" Is someone having a laugh?
Also , when trying to recover. I get the error "can't proceed phone locked" in itunes. As I write this, itunes is downloading 1 item which is going to take 14 Hours.
JEEEZ, ARRGH!!!!

Hey midnitebloo,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone is disabled. Have you tried putting the iPhone in recovery mode? I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
Use recovery mode
Follow these steps if you never synced your device with iTunes, if you don't have Find My iPhone set up, or if you can't get to your own computer. You'll need to put your device in recovery mode, which will erase the device and its passcode. Then you'll restore your device as new or from a backup.
Disconnect all cables from your device.
Turn off your device.
Press and hold the Home button. While holding the Home button, connect your device to iTunes. If your device doesn't turn on automatically, turn it on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode.
Click OK, then restore the device.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

  • Can I transfer music from an iPod to a computer? I lost music on my computer, and I'm trying to recover what is on my iPod.

    I have a 60 GB iPod that has over 2000 songs on it. Somehow I lost a number of songs on my iMac. I am trying to recover the songs from my iPod and reload them in my itunes library. The Library now has 1600 songs so I'm down by at least 400 songs. Does anyone know how to move the song from an iPod to an IMac running OS X 10.9.2 Maverick?

    The songs on the iPod will not copy over to the new/different iTunes library.  The sync process is only one way and that is from iTunes to the iPod.  The only exception to this are iTunes purchases which can be transferred from the iPod to iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases with the iPod plugged in and appearing in iTunes.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Trying to recover deleted imessages, also wondering why there is only 1 back up after weekly syncs.

    Hi All,
    I am trying to recover deleted imessages from my iphone 5s .  I planned to restore the phone to a previous back up,  however,  I am only showing one back up in Jan 2014 and another in Dec. 2014, with nothing in between.  I can't understand this as I sync my phone at least once a week.
    I have tried Dr. Fone (Wondershare) on trial basis but it only seems to pull up a few messages, not all.  I tried the trial of Tenorshare and it pulled up nothing except media files.   
    I have tried to look in my computer Library for back ups but nothing shows there, no 'messages' folder or other imessage back up archive. 
    I am on a MacBook pro 10.7.5  Lion 

    You see the backups in iTunes->Preferences->Devices.
    The "sync" backups overwrite everytime. You can have an extra backup when you do not a "sync" but click the button "Backup now" (a new backup is made which will be overwritten when you do this again). That backup (with date) will appear next to the "sync" backup. There are two backups in total possible.

  • Hard drive got messed up, trying to recover my library

    I had a horrible screw-up with the hard drive containing my iTunes media, and the backup got hosed as well. I was able to recover everything to a fresh drive, but a large number of the files had to be restored using a file utility. What that resulted in was a bunch of files with generic filenames (but with correct extensions). Some of these files are materials from iTunes Extras, others are movies, both from the iTunes store and from my own collection. I'm trying to find a way to re-link these generic files to their entries in the iTunes Library (which remained intact). Those entries are marked with an exclamation point. I've tried Spotlight searches keyed to the duration and file size of the movies in the library, but I never get any matches. A random selection of a movie will turn up something with an entry in the library, and at that point I can rename the file and point the iTunes library entry to it. But I can't understand why the Spotlight search won't work, since that's the best way for me to locate something specific when trying to recover my library file by file. I have no idea how I'll be able to deal with the iTunes Extras. A shame movies don't work with iCloud the way TV shows do. Any suggestions on how to handle this more efficiently?
    And I have a fresh backup drive now, too.

    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; only apps, books (not audiobooks), music, and t.v. shows (not movies).  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    If the above doesn't work, it is reported iTunes Support permitting a second download when asked nicely, but they are in no way obligated to do this. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column; 'iTunes Store' in the second column; third column click 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption' and proceed from there.

  • TS1967 When trying to recover a lost iTunes library file, the programme moved all the normal contents of iTunes folder to the desktop. Now what must I do?

    When trying to recover a lost iTunes library file, the programme moved all the normal contents of iTunes folder to the desktop. Now what must I do? There is no iTunes Library.itl file. On the desktop it is labelled iTunes Library.xml. Several others files have appeared there too including iTunes Music Library.xml
    Before I can use the programme is it necessary to take another step?
    Thanks for advice.

    Don't worry. I'm all for caution. I guess I should have asked a little more about what steps you took while trying to recover your lost library?
    The permissions thing may be a red herring, but if there is a problem with file access rights to the designated media folder iTunes has been known to place files on the desktop instead since it can access this location. The most common cause for such problems is working with a folder on an NTFS drive via a differnt account or on a different computer. In the normal course of events folders created inside user profiles have limited rights for other users.
    Here are the typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    Normally the iTunes folder will be created at <User's Music>\iTunes with the media folder inside it. The library files should all appear in the same place so your comment about there not being an iTunes Library.itl file is confusing. Is it just the case that the .itl extension is hidden? The two .xml files makes sense from the above and indicates that the active library is not in <User's Music>\iTunes, but you have a recovered file from when it was.
    If, in fact, the situation is that your desktop is acting as the main iTunes folder, and contains the library file, Album Artwork, iTunes Media and (optionally) Previous iTunes Libraries folders, with all other content being inside the iTunes Media folder, then it should be relativly easy to rearrange your into the correct shape and move them to the correct location.
    If things are more complex, with something other than a library folder containing a media folder, then reestablishing the normal order is more complicated. The iTunes consolidate function is used to bring copies of files stored outside of the media folder into the media folder. It may sometimes be needed as part of the process of tidying up, however it leaves behind originals. There are circumstances where there isn't room for two complete sets of the media files on the same drive which is why I suggested the script might be useful as it produces the same results for the library without leaving the originals for manual clear up.
    I think before you do anything however, we should get a clearer picture of exactly what is where. Could you perhaps take a screenshot of the desktop and post it here? Take a look at this post on making a split library portable. The same techniques I outline there can be used to lick your library into shape, it is just a question of working out which to use in which order for the best effect.

  • Error when trying to recover files

    I'm getting a "No Backup servers found" error when trying to recover files from my Azure backup vault. Any ideas folks?

    Hi,
    Please login to Azure Portal and check if you are able to see other servers from which you have backed up data, in the Portal.
    Also, prerequisites for recovering file and folder data to a different server are:
    ·         The target server is registered with the same Backup Vault the source server was backed up to.
    ·         You have the passphrase used to encrypt the data from the source server.

  • HTC Rhyme crashed - trying to recover sms from sd card

    Hello. HTC Rhyme crashed and I'm trying to recover SMS texts from the SD Card.  There is a folder on the SD card labeled "sms_backup".  WIthin that folder, there is an unidentifiable file that is 29KB.  In the type of file block, it simply says "File."  Can I restore these on the phone to a readable format - if so, how?  Tried to transfer to a PC just for historical purposes, but regardless of which program I use to open it, it comes up in some type of cryptic code.  Please help.

        Jay1, I know it can be difficult to lose precious info on your phone! The phone does not automatically backup SMS. Do you remember previously downloading an SMS backup application? If you did, you can re-download that application to recover your SMS. Search for SMS backup applications in the PlayStore and give it a try.

  • HP Envy 14 - black screen after start up screen when trying to recover the system

    I have a HP Envy 14 and months ago I got the message "Hard Drive failure imminent".
    Well, the HD finally stopped working and I got a Kingston ssd hyperx 240gb to replace it.
    I have the HP recovery disks, so I tried to recover my system with them. The 6 disks are used to creat an image and then I have to click "continue" in order to re-initiate the sytem. Then, I get the usual HP start up screen, so I hit enter. Then, I get a black screen (screen is on) and nothing happens. I've done this 4 times and always get the same black screen at the end.
    Any suggestions to solve this problem?
    Many thanks.

    Hi
    At this point you may consider contacting Kingston to ask them why your SSD is not running after POST when clearly Windows is installed .

  • I am trying to edit my website which was composed in iweb. I have my website saved on my hard drive. When I open iweb, I can't seem to load the website folder into iweb for editing purposes. Anyone know a quick solution to this?

    I am trying to edit my website which, was composed on iweb about 2 years ago. I have the website stored on my hard drive. When I open iweb, I can't figure out how to load the website into iweb for editing purposes. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

    You need to migrate to a modern, supported webpage development application and leave iWeb behind.  It hasn't been supported for 2 years now and was behind the curve feature wise when it was dropped by Apple.
    One app that many have migrated to because it is very similar to iWeb in the GUI and features is Everweb.  It has a demo version that you can try.  Text and photos from you current published site can be copied and pasted into Everweb to help the migration over.
    There are other possible candidates.  Just search the iWeb forum for "iWeb alternative" or "iWeb replacement" to get a list of topics discussing them.

  • I dropped my iphone 4s in water and now everytime i plug it in it show a charger pointing to a itunes thing i have tryed to recover it but its not working!! what do i doooo?!?!?!

    If you are talking about the warranty from Apple that would have expired when your iPhone hit the water. So it doesn't matter. Just take it to Apple and purchase an out of warranty replacement for it.

    You have to reset the device to Factory Settings in order to restore it from an iCloud backup. You probably want to back it up as is before you do this.
    To do the reset after you have backed up the current device, go to Settings>Reset>Reset all Content & Settings. This will erase the device. If you are signed onto iCloud with Find My iPhone turned on, go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom to sign out of iCloud before you do the reset.
    Once you have reset your device, you will set it up like a new phone. When it asks if you want to restore it from an iCloud backup, select the backup you want to restore it from.
