I am having trouble restoring my i phone back to factory settings. I am having connection issues, dropped calls and apps crashing.

Was your phone ever locked to a different phone carrier than the one your on now?
If so how was your phone unlocked?
Very rarely is the server unavailable.
Is your phone jailbroken or was your computer used to jailbreak a device?

Put the iPhone in DFU mode*. Connect in iTunes and restore.

my iphone 4 would not back-up to to pc "because an error occurred" anyone offer any solutions to this, I want to restore my phone to factory settings and reinstall my data but cannot back up first. Original problem is that I cannot connect to any wifi system anymore - have tried resetting network settings but did not work.

Try 1 step at a time and do a backup, if no joy then do the next step:
1. Switching off your anti-virus and firewall.
2. Computer iTunes menu > Edit > Preferences... > Devices > delete your backup

HT4993 I restored my phone to factory settings. HELP PLEASE!

I had to restore my phone to factory settings after an upgrade on itunes went bad. Now I have lost ALL my info: contacts, texts, emails, pics etc!! HELP PLEASE! Each time I have connected my phone to my computer it has backed up. When I restored and it asks if I want a previous backup (YES!) it does NOT show the backup I need with all my info. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I am frantic that I lost all my information!!

I did back up. On Apple I read if I restored I could use a previous back up. But when I have connected my phone to my computer 2x this morning, it backed up. I need to get to the 3rd previous back up. Any suggestions please?

Hi:
I can't help you with that specific issue, but if you can't get it resolved and you can read the 25 character Microsoft Windows product key on the bottom of your PC, make your own W7 installation media to reinstall W7.
Here's how:
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
Or use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to compile the ISO file you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB method of compilation.
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

I have restored my phone to factory settings and took out my sim card

I have restored my phone to factory settings and took out my sim card how do I know it has erased everything? i am going to be giving it away so I want to be sure this is done right. When I turn on my phone it now asks what language and so Im pretty sure I did it right. Any thoughts??

Then they're gone for good, if they're not in your backup.
This is why is is STRONGLY recommended to use your phone as Apple intends: synch your contacts with a contact manager program on your computer or with a cloud service, and import your photos taken by the iPhone to your computer as soon as possible.

Do a hard reset with a computer. Enter DFU mode, connect to iTunes, and it will say that our device is in "recovery mode". Then click restore.

I had to restore my phone to factory settings HOW DO I GET MY INFO BACK ON MY PHONE?? HELP ME PLEASE!! I have it saved on Itunes

Please help me. I had to restore my factory settings cause my phone froze and i went to itunes and that was the only way that i saw to do it. im sure it was wrong way to do it but it is done now. I had backuped my contacts and stuff on my itunes account and now i dont know how to get them back on my phone. i have it plugged into my computer. that is as far as i can get. please help me. i dont have one number memorized.

thanks. unfortunately my computer backs up my stuff every time i connect it so the back up didnt have anything on it. becasue i was connecting it and unconnecting it. idk. what to do now. if there was a way to restore it to an even earlier setting i would. if you have any ideas please help?.... thanks so much for your time.

Uploaded softwear on phone last night, now my computer cannot restore the phone and update. about 5min into it, i get the message that iphone has not been restored even though that is the button i clicked on.

I upgraded my iphone last night on the phone, today I cannot get the computer and the phone to work together. When I click restore iPhone, and my only choice is to restore and upgrade, when it starts the upgrade, it says the phone has not been restored. I did just upgrade the itunes on the computer also.

This may not solve your problem but may clear up a couple of things.
1: Re the connected to wi-fi, plugged in and locked thing is for automatic backups. It doesn't need to be plugged in or locked for it to work when you go to Settings > iCloud > Backup and tap Back Up Now. Mine completes the backup quickly without being plugged in or locking (but I don't have a lot to backup).
2: Locked just means the lock screen is on (press the sleep/wake button on top) -- it will work without a passcode (& again, the lock screen on is only required for the automatic backup).
3: You can see what is using your storage and maybe reduce some of it so that you don't have to pay for storage. Instructions in Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support

TS4036 I am trying to restore my phone using iTunes back up and iCloud back up. Both won't let me do it. They said that it could not be completed. What can I do to get my phone restored?

I had to wipe my phone clean because of storage issues. It kept saying I didn't have enough storage for pics or apps, but I only had about 75 pics and 1 extra app. So, I backed up my iPhone on icloud and itunes, then cleared off my iphone using the steps in the settings. Then, when I am going back to restore my iPhone using iTunes back up and iCloud backup, it fails in both locations. It says it failed to be completed.
What now?

Thank you Terence for your help. I was able to restore my backup from my time machine ext drive to a new 1tb seagate ext drive. so i felt sort of ok. but yesterday that older ext drive i used for time machine wouldn't open! i called applecare and they trouble shooted with me and said it's probably a goner and data is probably corrupted. it's only a few years old and i'm very careful with it. my husband accidentally dropped my new drive last night -- i know, unbelievable, i was SO upset, poor guy -- but I'm so stressed with all of this. i have 10 years of photos and videos. so now i only have the one newer drive with a backup. i have to buy another one today to backup again so i at least have two backups. i tried to delete a ton of files last night to free up the 30 gb of space i need to get my full library back on my mac. i have 90gb free and deleted 7 years worth of photos i had on picasa that were in my "pictures" folder and also a ton or random photos and videos i had in that same pictures folder and thought that would give me the 30 gb but it hardly freed up any space at all! do you know why that is? all of this stuff is really a pain and really stressful. thank god i did have a backup in the first place but now i am panicked the one i have left will somehow crash. especially after my husband dropped the drive lastnight! it didn't fall far and fell onto a wood floor and seems fine, but after my older ext drive crashed yesterday -- and i lost my entire iphoto library a fewweeks ago off my mac -- i feel cursed. any answers you have would be great. thank you.
