  • Can i stop the Erase all data and settings process for Iphone 3gs? It has been 4 hours and still not finished!

    Hi, i just want to know if theres any way to just stop the erase all data and settings for my iphone 3gs it has been 4 hours and it still havent finished yet, still showing the black screen with an apple icon. Im getting so frustrated, is there any way to just stop the process and roll back the changes made? Would it do any harm if i press on my home key and power button the same time? Thanks!

    Something has gone wrong, on an iPhone 3Gs the erase all operation should be instantaneous. Disconnect your phone & force it into recovery mode:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, select "new".

  • HT1212 How do i restore my iphone when it has been disabled and can not be restored through itunes because of the error message that says "The iphone software update server could not be contacted.

    How do i restore my iphone when it has been disabled and cannot be restored through itunes because of the error message that says "The iphone software update server could not be contacted

    Have you jailbroken this device? This will make the iPhone not talk to the Software Update Server (that signs and accepts software updates) please refer to the following link? Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    The iPhone will talk to the software update servers, just need to change the host files, it's a simple process, sorry if you were confused about the wording in to top?

  • I have restored my iphone but it has been 2days saying that the activation server is not available. please help me.

    i have restored my iphone but it has been 2days saying that the activation server is not available. please help me.

    That is almost always because the phone was hacked to illegally unlock it. Contact the carrier it's locked to and ask about having it legitimately unlocked. If they will not do so, you will not be able to activate that phone.

  • My iPhone is about 6 months old now and I would say I don't use it that much. Yet for the last month or so the battery life has been going down and today after having charged it to 100% this morning, it was at 5% at 4 pm this aft. help!!

    Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue:  Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry.  In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System)  computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
    I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net.  I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
    The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS.  Its just the nature of the beast...
    We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.....
    Oh John....  Oh Marsha.....

  • I have an ipad3 which has been spontaneously restarting and is not connecting well to either mobile service or wireless networks.

    I have an ipad3 which has been spontaneously restarting and is not connecting well to either mobile service or wireless networks. It has become unusable. Is there  a software update to fix this issue?
    I have tried removing and reinserting the sim card - I am not even being asked to put in the sim pin to unlock the sim
    I have reset the network settings and reconnected to my wireless network. I can get onto the wireless network but the ipad does not connect to my carrier even though my mobile phone (same carrier) has great service.
    It seems to me that due to the connecton issue the ipad then restarts itself so I cant even use it for the local apps that do not require any connection to run because every few minutes the unit reboots.
    heading to an istore tomorrow to have it looked at but wondered if there is a software upate or setting I can change myself to fix this isse.
    not happy after the cost of the unit and ony had a few days use before the issues started!

    Thanks Alan,
    in the end it was replaced at the Apple iStore, they restored factory settings and it was still playing up for them too. Weird but the replacement is working perfectly!!

  • Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Also, when I do try to drag it out of the Trash to put it back into Applications (on the Finder sidebar), it asks me to authenticate with the administration password.  I enter it, and then a window appears saying that I can't do that because I do not have permission to modify iTunes.  Please help.

    In the article Resolve iOS update and restore errors this is what it says about error 14:
    Check your USB connections
    Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014, or “invalid response."
    If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
    Try a different computer.
    If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
    If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.

    Error -1 indicates a serious hardware failure.
    Try restoring the device again, try on a different computer.  If the issue continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • I have two graphics cards in my PC . after I had to reinstall windows again has been slower pc and stuff not play 4k footage . Can you help me find out about it " Raks " graphics card has stopped working ?

    I have two graphics cards in my PC . after I had to reinstall windows again has been slower pc and stuff not play 4k footage . Can you help me find out about it " Raks " graphics card has stopped working ?

    I'm not aware of any, not to say that there aren't any issues.
    it may have nothing to do with ntpd, there are a lot of things running.
    ntpd just happen to make the log entry at the same time as the panic.
    I would check to see if there are any updates available for you system.
    if this is the first time that this has happened. it may be (pick one):
    cosmic rays
    sun spots
    the trilateral commission
    if this happens more frequently and that traces look the same, then
    there may be a real problem that needs to be looked into further.

    If he has iMessage on his iPad set to receive at his iPhone's phone number, that is exactly what is supposed to happen.  There's nothiing you can do - he needs to remove his iPhone number from his "you can be reached at" iMessage settings on his iPad.

    Let me know!
    Looking forward to hearing back from you.

  • TS4036 after 24 hours restore is still taking place, can i stop this

    I have now been restoring my phone for 24 hours having transferred all data from my old phone to new one via iCloud.
    Can I stop this now? It says you will not have transferred all data but it already appears to have transferred.

    You can try to stop, by resetting all settings or deleting icloud account, but I would not - it will stop automatically after 72 hours from the start. If the only reason you want to stop, cause you need space for other backup, just turn it off -on the new phone. You can turn on after couple of days.
