I cant restore the i phone 4 I bought help

For what reason cant you restore?
If you are unable to restore through iTunes the normal way, try restoring via Recovery Mode. Follow the article below to restore via recovery mode.

Hey mitchedelson,
If you synced the iPhone with the computer before attempting to update, you can recover the photos taken with the iPhone. You would just go through the restore process and backup from the profile saved in iTunes.

The restore and backup may be the only option but you can attempt to reset the iPhone as described here:

There's no way to "restore" your phone, but, you can login to iCloud.com, using your computer, locate your phone, then erase it.

1161 is the code i get. i cant restore my i phone it wont work i dont know whats going on

Are you sure it is not error 1611?
Error 1611
This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Try a different USB cable also.

iOS 7 has an antitheft feature. A stolen phone can NEVER be used again, except by the original owner or with the authorization of the original owner. If you bought a stolen phone that was your mistake; get your money back. While it's possible that the seller "forgot" their password, that is an easily corrected problem. In most countries knowingly possessing stolen property is a crime. Even if you don't know it is stolen, it can be taken from you and returned to the rightful owner.
If it really wasn't stolen, and it was an honest mistake on the part of the seller, the seller can easily correct the mistake and authorize your activation of the phone.

Restore software 552 error - cant restore the os?

This software error has occurred on two different BlackBerry Tours, each of which I returned for replacement (I also had to replace a third one because the front face plate was loose). So I'm now on my fourth Tour after purchasing the first one a little over a week ago. Bad part is, I can't even attempt a restore, since I own a Mac and the necessary software isn't available yet. When I went to return the second Tour after getting the error message, I called BlackBerry support and was told to borrow a phone, go to public library, install the software on a PC, call her back, and she'd walk me through the process. This, after informing her that a sales rep was kind enough to have already attempted a full restore using his PC lab top and that the restore that failed to work.
In any case, as noted at the start of the thread, the problem occurred while installing software from App World (two different applications). Now that my FOURTH Tour is all set up with my "must-have" applications, I won't be installing any additional software in the near future, no matter how important it would be to own. Which means my BlackBerry will never be the 100% useful tool that I bought it for to begin with. I find it rather disturbing as well that installing a small application (from BlackBerry's own app store no less) can wipe out the phone's entire operating system. Even if the phone COULD be restored, it still means hours of updates, reinstalling applications, setting up custom ringtones, etc. (although perhaps this process is easier for PC users).

Hey Arjen Ronhaar,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues updating your iPhone to iOS 7. If you have not already done so, you may want to restart or reset the iPhone:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you'll want to restore your iPhone in recovery mode with iTunes:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

Thanks,

HT203167 i downloaded the latest update ios 7.0.4 and update my iphone 5, but to my surprise i couldnt locate the downloaded file on itunes and i've also checked my itunes folder, still cant see the file. pls anybody who can help.

i downloaded the latest update ios 7.0.4 and update my iphone 5, but to my surprise i couldnt locate the downloaded file on itunes and i've also checked my itunes folder, still cant see the file. pls anybody who can help.

The downloaded file is probably stored at C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates. In general it is probably best to "download and install" updates than download and then install later. Note that you cannot revert to the older firmware if you don't like the update, even if you have the old .ipsw files.

HT201210 i cant restore my i phone 3gs please help

please help my i phone wont turn on its only showing apple logo i cant restore it i went through steps and it comes up error it tells me also contact the hardware vendor for software

Can you explain what is not working for you?
Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. Be patient since it sometimes takes several of these attempts before you are successful.
If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Select the device in iTunes and choose "restore from backup". This assumes you have a backup. If you do not, you will have to download all your purchased iTunes content again. You do not have to pay for anything you already purchased.
If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help

Do you have to restore your iPhone again? You could try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. You could also try checking out this link.
