I have to restore my phone but it doesn't complete the restore process.

I did something wrong and it's making me restore my Iphone in Itunes. It goes through the process but once it gets to the restore process it goes a little bit and then just stops. I let it run for a couple hours but it never moved. I tried numerous times and each time it stopped. Please help. =(

Let your iPhone charge on the Wall Charger for 30 minutes and then try the Restore again. If still problems, and you are still under the 1 year Warranty or have AppleCare, then take iPhone to Apple for fix.

I accidentally put a passcode lock on my iPhone and I forgot what I set for it, is there a way to take it off without accessing the phone? I have restored my phone but it doesn't work, is there anybody that could help me please?

You can't "accidentally" put a passcode on any iPhone...its a multi-step process. Further, restoring an iPhone will remove the passcode, as the passcode is not included in an iPhone backup.
Are you sure you're talking about the phone passcode & not something else...like the "Restrictions" passcode?

Hello there, VladlsSwag.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some steps for troubleshooting your issue:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Particularly:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

HT1766 I've just purchased an Iphone 5c. I have chosen the restore from iCloud and the phone has now restarted to complete the restore. It has been 3 hours and the progress bar has not moved.

If all you want is your old photos, you could backup your new phone using iTunes, then restore it from your iCloud backup, import the old photos to your computer, then restore it from the backup your made in iTunes returning your newer data to your phone. If you want your old photos on your phone, sync them there from your computer using iTunes. The process would look like this:
Connect your phone to your computer, when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on it and select Transfer Purchases; right-click again and select Backup.
Disconnect from your computer and go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings to return it to new
Go through the activation setup, choosing to Restore from iCloud backup. Make sure your phone is plugged into a charger and has access to wi-fi as this can take hours to complete.
When complete, without connecting your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to Preferences. On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"
Now import the old photos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)
When done, open iTunes, right-click on the name of your phone on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose the backup you made in step 1.
Go to the Photos tab and select the photos you want to sync to your phone and sync.

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

TS4036 My initial backup to iCloud for my iPhone 3G is taking so long. I would like to use my phone, but am afraid to stop the backup process. Going on 16 hours.

My backup to iCloud seems to be taking so long, I don't even have any confidence that it is working. Going on 16 hours. I want to use my phone, but it says if I stop it will return my phone to initial state. Do I lose all my apps?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps.

How to restore my phone when it gets stuck during the restoring process?

I have got my Iphone 3gs for just over one year. It was completely fine until yesteray. Out of nowhere it just crashed yesterday and has gone into recovery mode ( kept asking me to plug into Itune) . When I tried to restore it using Itube, it got stuck at the stage where it says 'restoring firmware'. I don't know what else I can do? Please help.

HT201263 have tried to restore my ipad and it does not complete the restoration and gives me an error code

I have tried many times to restore my ipad to factory settings with no luck. It does not get through the whole process and gives an error code of 3194 cannot restore. It then directs me to a website that does not help and is very hard to get rid of. I am ready to send my ipad back and get a new one. Is there any solution to saving my current model?

Trying to restore my phone, but it's been on the same screen for 5 hours "syncing contacts"?

phone on syncing contacts for 5 hours? what's up?

Something's probably wrong with the program; Close it and reboot, or you may need to reinstall iTunes.

Bought my iPhone 5s in Saudi and I am currently here..I don't have FaceTime in my phone but why can I see the 'icon' for FaceTime in my notification center? Do I have it really? Is it just blocked?

To everyone.. I. Need help..

If your iPhone was meant to be sold in KSA (and not a gray market iPhone
meant to be sold elsewhere), FaceTime is blocked by the KSA government
and cannot be installed - even if you take the iPhone to a country where
FaceTime is allowed.
What is the model number of your iPhone (Settings=>
General=>About=>Model) including all letters and numbers?

HT4623 I get the update but it doesn't complete the install.iOS 6.0.1

Tried software uodate loads but right at the end it stop and give error -failed

I imagine a ton of people are attempting to download it right now. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

HT201210 I tried to update my Iphone 4S & was sent an error message telling me to restore my phone & did so & now my phone is unable to be used because it will not complete the restoring process & is locked in this screen not letting me use it at all.

I was trying to update my software to on my phone and it would not let me do so sending me a message to restore my phone before I can complete an update so I did this but it would not complete the restore and was sent another message stating that my phone is already in recovery mode and a restore needs to be completed before I can update any software. I have tried this four times now and my phone screen is stuck with the Itunes symbol on it along with a picture of the plug. It will not let me eject or do absolutely anything. I cannot use my phone at all. I have even tried to shut it down and turn it back on which still did not help.

and error code or the exact msg would help

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,
Mario
