I need help in restoring my iphone 4s

I have an iphone 4S 16 GB I need to restore.  I tried to do a reset and it seems to have locked up.  I cannot get into it.  When I try to turn it on the only thing I get is the Apple sign.  I would like to do a restore but I can't turn it on.  I have the last update loaded.

  • Hiya there I need help I restored my iPhone 3G and now won't unlock anymore it's at factory settings

    Need help big time please

    Sounds like you screwed something up when you replaced the back.  As the iPhone is NOT user serviceable, there's not much here we users can offer you. 
    Bring your phone to a 3rd party repair shop and see what they say.

  • Need help in restoring my iPhone 4s

    Hello, i changed my passcode and forgot it. I tried to unlock my iPhone several times, untill it says "Connect the device to iTunes". When i connect, i can try to unlock it again. So, i have previously connected to my PC, so this PC is trusted, I've read on internet that the only way to recover my data is to sync/backup my iPhone, but when I try to do so(on a trusted computer), it shows me the error "the device can not be synced because you need to enter passcode". Please tell me if there is a way to restore my photos and videos? I really need to have only those, nothing else. Also, why apple made things so hard and a simple user can't restore his data in a simplier way?

    You cannot save anything
    If you want to use it again you will have to restore
    As I said it is a SECURITY device ,not much use if anyone can get into it ,now is it
    In future use the wide range of backup features provided
    including this
    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

    I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
    Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
    I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

  • HT4061 I need help, I pluged my iphone and itunes said there was an update to download and update, I did but when itunes was rebooting and updating I got an error message. and now the phone is telling me that it cant be activated.

    I need help, I pluged my iphone to itunes and got a message that said there was an update to download and update, I did but when itunes was rebooting and updating I got an error message. and now the phone is telling me that it cant be activated, to plug it in to itunes or to contact support care.

    That message usually indicates that your phone was hacked to unlock it from the original phone carrier, then when you updated or restored it locked back to that carrier.

  • I need to factory restore my iPhone and set up as new device...

    I need to factory restore my iPhone and set up as new device... If I back up the device, but set it up as a new iPhone, will I be able to get all of my data, apps, music, notes, texts and settings back? (ditto with TeamLava game data??)
    I need 100% confirmation as I'm worried I'll lose both some important app and data on their, as well as some hard-earned game time on a few apps!!
    (The reason I need to restore and set up fresh - I set this iPhone up from a back years ago which pulled through an encrypted local backup password that I don't remember setting and no password I can think of will turn it off. I have been told the only way around this is to factory restore and set up as a new iPhone)
    Many thanks in advance for any and all advice. I welcome your Apple expertise!

    Stupid Apple! Thanks though.
    Can you confirm what I will and will not be able to get back? (Bare in mind I also have an iPad that syncs things like Notes.)
    Contacts - can back up to Orange App
    Music - I mainly use Spotify anyway
    Text Messages?
    Safari bookmarks?
    Previously purchased Apps? (or will I just have to re-download them?)
    The data on these apps? (I guess most will either be simply logging in, or re-setting up)
    Storm8/TeamLava Game progress?
    Again, thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Oliveira_Lisboa,
    The article below has some information about the options and features available, it also has some tips that might help you locate your iPhone.
    What to do if your iOS device is lost or stolen
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5668
    If you lose your iOS device or think it might be stolen, these steps may help you locate it and protect your personal data.
    If you enabled Find My iPhone on your missing device
    These steps require that Find My iPhone was enabled on your device before it was lost or stolen.
    Attempt to locate your device using Find My iPhone at icloud.com/find, or using the free Find My iPhone app.
    Put the device in Lost Mode to set a 4-digit passcode and display a custom message with your phone number on your device. While the device is in Lost Mode, you can also keep track of changes to your device's location. Lost Mode requires that your missing device be using iOS 6 or later. If your device is using iOS 5, you can still lock your device remotely and display a message on the screen.
    If you want to delete all of your personal information from your missing device, you can erase it remotely. Please note that when you erase a device, you will no longer be able to locate it.
    Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement and your wireless carrier. Apple doesn't track or flag lost or stolen products, but you can use My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) to find a list of serial numbers for products that you've purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
    Note: If your missing device is offline, you can still put it in Lost Mode, lock it, or erase it. Your commands will take effect when the device comes back online.If you did not enable Find My iPhone on your missing device
    If you did not enable Find My iPhone before it was lost or stolen, you can't use it to locate or protect your device, but you can still follow these steps:
    Change your iCloud password to ensure that no one else can use your device to delete or make changes to your iCloud data.
    Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement and your wireless carrier. Apple doesn't track or flag lost or stolen products, but you can use My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) to find a list of serial numbers for products that you've purchased or registered with your Apple ID.

  • HT4623 can you help me restore my iphone

    can you help me restore my iphone 5s to my own setting coz trying to transfer my photos to mycomputer last night but by mistaake the seeting and all the contacts was totally gone and the restored account and contacts on myphone rightnow was the contacys and seeting of my nephew..so can you help me restore everything to my phone?

    Did you back up to iCloud as well?.  If so, restore that backup:
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings > reactivate phone > follow prompts to restore iCloud backups
    Backups overwrite prior the backup.  The only ones that are saved are those done during a major update or restore (as part of the process when prompted)  If your iTunes backup was overwitted, it's gone unless you baked up your computer before this happened.
