You have no chose but to restore your phone. What do you mean "lose everything"? Is your data/iTunes content not on your computer?

My phone will not turn on, therefore I have received a replacement phone but am wanting to reset my old device. It is not locating it because it says it is offline however I cannot turn it on at all. Can I start with my new device and not reset the old? Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's been a week without a phone

That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

I dont want to set my iphone up as a new phone, but i dont want to restore from my previous phone. help!

I bought a new iPhone 5 a few months ago, and havnet plugged it into my itunes until now, and I do not want to set it up as a new phone, because it will get rid of everything I already have on there, but I also dont want to restore from my last backup with my old iPhone 4. I want to add music that i have on my itunes, but i dont want to start over fresh. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Those are your only choices.
You should simply transfer everything from your iphone to your computer. Then you can sync it back.

The WiFi on my iPhone 4s will not turn on. I need to back up to iCloud in order to replace the phone. A worker at the Apple Store said that if I connected my phone to the computer, then I could back up to iCloud but it doesn't work!

Last weekend I went to the Apple store to replace my phone because the WiFi on my phone is nonfunctional. I need to back up to iCloud before I can replace my phone because I have information on there that needs to be saved. The worker at the Apple store said that, since I cannot connect to WiFi, I needed to plug my phone into my computer in order to back up. I went into iTunes and turned iCloud on, but my phone still will not back up to iCloud. So, I need to know exactly how to back up my iPhone to iCloud without WiFi?

Unfortunately, you can't restore an iCloud backup without using wifi so that isn't an option.

I just updated my iPhone 4 to ios6 and lost everything. How do I get it back?

I backed up my iphone and updated the software. I now have no apps, music, voice memos.....I was able to get my photos and contacts back. How do I get all the rest of my stuff back?

It shouldn't be a problem. Restore, and then resynch everything back. You will have backed up photos and such.

I have just updated my iphone 4s to ios7 and when i download an app it says 'Waiting' on the icon then disappears.

I have been having problems downloading apps for a while now. I only just downloaded IOS 7 but I thought it would help me, it hasn't.
I go onto the app store to download and app, i enter the correct passwrd and the apps icon appears to be downloaded. The waiting sign appears on the icon and then the icon itself disappears, then on the app store it looks as though i have never tried to download it! PLEASE help! i didnt get Flappy Bird because of this issue! lol

Hi Nerdyninja12,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try this step first if an app download on your iPad is not completing:
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
App updates won't download on my iPhone, they just say waiting.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
If the download still does not complete, force close and re-open the App Store. Here's how to force close an iOS application:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
These steps come from this article:
iOS: Force an app to close

I just updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5 and lost 99% of my apps. I backed up the iphone to my mac prior to doing this. Should i just do a restore?

I updated to ios 5 after bacing up my 3gs to my mac. After updating, the majority of my apps are missing. Do I just do a restore?

I'm having the same issue, i use a PC running windows XP. can I just do the same restore & will it change anything else on my phone by doing a restore?
