I can not restore my iphone 4 it says could not be restored. It shuts off and then back on. It will restore and then not work. any ideas?

My phone is basically a paper weight. I have tried to restore it and it won't restore. It did restore for about 2 mins and then it shut off and everything was erased again. I am at my wits end I just want to throw this thing against a way. Any suggestions would be great!! Thank you in advance

Did you try the things listed here? Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build" - Apple Support Is your device jailbroken? Have you ever used the computer to jailbreak a device? Are you trying to load an iOS other than the current one? What version of iPhone are you using? Is this occurring when attempting to update via iTunes and the computer?

The following assumes you've been backing up to icloud all along.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
Let us know if this method does not work.

When am trying to restore my iphone it says iphone cannot be activated because activation server cannot be reached what i need to do now?

The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download iOS7 at the same time.
There is a chance activation servers might be down/slow for now. Just keep trying throughout the day. Some other forum users are experieincing similar things.
You can also try the apple document for activation issues, but I'd assume its server issues. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424

I've been working on our church website and all of a sudden this week, my computer will not connect to the site. I keep getting a message saying that the the connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can fix this?

The "The connection was reset" error message can be caused by a bug fix for the BEAST (Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS) attack that the server doesn't handle.

You will Not be able to get rid of it entirely...
Other is usually around 1 GB...
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup...
But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup...
Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

On which device do you normally check mail?
I assume you must normally check on the phone and that is why you don't see it often. If you checked a POP account on your phone and hten tried to check the POP email account on your computer you would find that amy POP emails you accessed on your phone would not appear on the computer and that is because you have already downloaded them on the phone and they are no longer on the server so when your computer checks for mail the server responds to the computer and says there are no recent messages. The reverse of this would occur ifyou found new mail on your computer from the POP account. That new mail would not be found on the phone mail app

Thank you I tried the reset again did not fix- I think I am down to calling Apple and paying for a tech - phone company says it is a software problem. I just updated to 8.1.3 - I thought the update might fix it.
