IOS 5 wiped my iPhone and cannot restore contents

I had my iPhone connected to the computer for charging when iOS 5 came up and requested me to update. I did, and midway a warning came up saying that my phone had been wiped of content for reasons unspecified. All retoring process had failed. How could this happen?

Sorry but you can't downgrade the OS, so unless you have backups of your data it is lost.

    If iTunes is otherwise working properly start with TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, otherwise move on to Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

    I have now lost my contacts icon on the iphone and cannot find it even after syncing to my computer.
    Would you know how to resolve this issue?
    It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder, check the utilities folder as this is a common one for it to disappear into.  Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it.  Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • HT1212 forgot passcode on iphone 5s and cannot restore it

    I forgot my passcode on iphone 5s and cannot restore it. I tried the recommended methods listed on Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support but they did not worked. Every time I tried to restore it kept asking me to allow access on iphone which I forgot the passcode. I do not have find my iphone on this phone nor icloud. I am willing to lose all my datas just to get my phone back to working. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Apparently you did not follow the instructions in that article that address your issue. If you forgot your passcode, then you cannot restore it. You have to erase it by selecting the appropriate link under Erase and Restore.
    Erase the device. Once it is erased, it will no longer need a passcode. If you are talking about an Activation Lock, that is a different matter. Is that what you are referring to?

  • My iPhone 4 can not reboot after upgrading to iOS 6; keeps trying and cannot shut off either.

    My iPhone 4 can not reboot after upgrading to iOS 6; keeps trying and cannot shut off either.

    I FINALLY got it to work on BOTH iPhone 4 and iPpad 3.  Here is what I had to do:
    Had to DELETE all e-mail accounts including icloud.
    Did a hard reset (hold down button on top right corner and round button on bottom center)
    Then once it came back on, the iPhone had ALL of the accounts still on it and it was receivng e-mail.
    The iPad receive e-mail until I did the steps above 5 times.  Plus, I had to add back all of the e-mail accounts vs. on the iPhone 4 they were there when my phone came on.
    Now I am receiving e-mail on both devices normally.
    No clue why this happened, but Apple needs to find a fix ASAP.

  • I want to ask that if some one restore iphone and the icloud is activited before it was last so the can activate the iphone and after restore can we track it

    i want to ask that if some one restore iphone and the icloud is activited before it was last so the can activate the iphone and after restore can we track it

    No.
    If the iPhone is running iOS 7, activation lock included with iOS 7 will prevent someone from restoring the iPhone or completing the process.
    If the iPhone can be restored, it cannot be restored from the iPhone's backup - only as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

    Hi bluegrandpanash,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you backed up your iPhone to iCloud before updating the software, first try the steps under "Restore from an iCloud backup" in this article to recover your data:

    Since updating my iPad 2 to IOS6 and activating my icloud for backup, my iPad has permanently locked. Message on screen is "iPad Not Backed Up". I click ok but no response. Cannot turn power off and cannot restore via my pc itunes. What are my options?

    Thanks to everyone who responded and related subject helped. Holding the home button and power button simultaneously for 10-15 seconds does unlock the screen. I can now use my ipad again. However, a futher problem has arisen since updating to IOS6 and activating icloud at same time, Although not sure if its related. The problem is that when connected to my PC the itunes message appears 'Cannot read ipad'. It instructs you to restore but keeps timing out after about 1 hour. This maybe internet issue but can't understand why itunes cannot read my ipad. May need to completely erase all content & reset. Or any other suggestions why this has happened?
