I need to restore my iphone 4
hii
i have iphone 4 and need to restore it but itunes asking me for password and i never had any password . please could you hellp my restoring my iphone back?
If you mean you forgot the passcode for your encrypted backup then you are our of luck. All you can do is to restore your iPhone from factory defaults/new iphoneand start a new.
In the iTunes Summary screen, select "Encrypt iPhone backup" if you want to encrypt the information stored on your computer when iTunes makes a backup. Encrypted backups are indicated by a padlock icon, and a password is required to restore the information to iPhone. You may want to write down the password for your backup and store it in a safe place. If you use a Mac, when you set a password you can select to store the password in the keychain. With iOS 4 and later, you can transfer the iOS keychain backup to a new device if you encrypt the backup.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

I need to restore my iphone but itunes can't connect to it because of my password which I can't input becasue it has no service and needs to be restored. what can I do to restore it? Is there a way to input the password?
You will need to put the iPhone into Recovery Mode to be able to restore it in iTunes.
To put your iPod/iPhone into recovery mode:
1. Make sure the iPod/iPhone is connected to a computer with iTunes installed on it.
2. Hold down the sleep/wake button(top button) and the home button at the same time until the iPod/iPhone screen goes black then shows the apple logo( usually 10-15 seconds).
3. Once the apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the sleep/wake button and keep holding the home button.
4. The ipod/iphone screen should show an itunes logo and usb cable if you were successful. A dialog box will appear in iTunes that states an iPod/iPhone in recovery mode has been detected if you are successful.
5. Click ok, then click the Restore button
After that you should be up and running in no time!
I hope that this is helpful. -
I need to restore my iphone 4 with just ios 5, but it only lets me restore it with the latest version which is ios 5.0.1. What can I do??
Restore it using the computer it normally syncs with, this should not require an iOS update.

I need to restore my iPhone. Once in iTunes, I get an error message asking me to use my passowrd to unlock phone. The problem is that I can't get to the password lock screen. All I can get is the iTunes screen or the emergency call only screen.
yes did you buy it of somebody or a well known company such as apple or carphone warehouse?
and i mean the phone would have been activated in the first place with the sim card you get given when you first get the phone.
trying to activate the phone with another sim card that you did not get when you brought the phone may result in you not being able to activate it
no worries -
Had to reinstall iTunes,backed up iPhone5 before the reinstall and need to restore the iPhone backup that is on the computer,Windows8, but it is not an option in the new iTunes restore menu. How do I map or add the old backup to the new iTunes restore option?
Hi MrsMoosie,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. If your iPad isn't responding or doesn't appear to be charging, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful, in particular the following portion:
If you don't see the charging screen within an hour, or you see the connect to power screen, check your connector, USB cable, and power adapter. Make sure that everything is plugged in firmly, free of debris, and not damaged. You might want to try a different USB cable or power adapter.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Regards,

You rely on it but not enough to create and maintian a backup?
Have you set up iCloud? Set it up and then you can restore the iPhone and reload with iCloud.
-> http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
This will backup your iPhone as well as allow you to maintain contacts and calendar items (and others) in the cloud without a computer.
You can access then via a computer (www.icloud.com) and/or have them sync to a computer also.. -
Hi, I recently received an email which I believed to be from my bank but it turns out it was from someone trying to hack my bank account. I accessed the email on my phone and I wanted to know if I need to restore my iphone back to default settings? I am a bit worried about losing everything on my phone if I do this but at the same time I don't want them to get any other information. Any ideas?
Did you log in with your bank account via the link included with this email?
If not, you have nothing to worry about.
Accessing or viewing the email alone can't provide your bank account info or the log in for your bank account. -
HT1414 What password do u need to restore your iphone
I need help restoring my iphone 4
Why don't you contact Apple and find out? Certainly if you can find your way around the internet to have been able to find this forum, you can certainly find the number for AppleCare.

HT1766 I need to restore my iphone 4. Will I lose my pictures if I restore from backup?
I need to restore my iphone 4. Will I lose my pictures if I restore from backup?
Possible if there is a problem with your iPhone's backup in regards to this data with no way to know this in advance.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.

I forgot my passcode. and i need to restore my iphone 4 in order to reset the passcode. But I haven't backed up to icloud recently and REALLY cant lose my 1000 photos, contacts, ect. How to i backup before having to reset every thing?
You can't. If there was a way to get into the phone and backup data without a passcode, what would be the purpose of the passcode?
Either think harder, or prepare to lose all your data. -
I need to restore my iPhone 5 but an update I already have appears.
I need to restore my iPhone 5 but when I click on restore, an update to iOS 6.1.4 appears and my phone is already at the latest iOS update. I have limited internet usage and trying to update to an update I already have installed will make me go over my usage as the update is almost 1000mb.
Go to a friend's house and use their wifi, which will not
be charged to your wireless usage. Or a coffee shop. Or
someplace else with publicly available wifi. -
I need to restore an iphone 4 to 7.0.6 not the current 7.1
I need to restore an passcode locked CMDA iPhone 4 to 7.0.6 not the current 7.1. This is due to a mobile management application that our company uses that has not been verified to work with 7.1 yet. This iPhone is current on 5.1.0. I am trying to do the restore via iTunes and am using an old ipsw file for 7.0.6 but I keep getting the 3194 error when it tries to restore. I have tried all the "hosts" fil e suggestions but keep getting the same result. Is it no longer possible to restore an iPhone to an older version of iOS, even only one upgrade back??
Sorry, but it will only install the latest version (7.1).

An intelligent human being would restore the device.
Did you really need some stranger on a public forum to tell you to follow the on screen instructions? -

If you have not had a backup of the data before, you need to check this support document you linked here from about removing the passcode. Without a current backup, you are going to lose data.

Do I need to restore my original iphone 4 before activating my 4s?
I found that doing the restore first from 4 onto 4s then doing the activation online worked best for me.
