IPhone: 1.1.4/Restore Issues
I'm trying to upgrade my iPhone to 1.1.4 on my MacBook Pro. I successfully download the package and the software extracts, but when it gets to the "backing up iPhone" screen, it appears to hang and then after a couple minutes my iPhone restarts and I get "iTunes could not sync because iPhone is disconnected." What the ****?
I've tried updating on 2 Macs--NO GO!
I've tried restoring on 2 different Macs--NO GO!
I've connected it to a PC and tried updating and restoring--NO GO!
I've trashed the updates in my library\itunes\iphone software updates--NO GO!
I've created a second account and tried using the new iTunes--NO GO!
I have a lot of text messages that I'd like to save with Syphone so I don't want to do a hard reset on the iPhone itself unless I absolutely have to. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can try next?

Not an expert by any means but I did go thru a pretty hectic time getting my iPhone--sync issue right.
Try Opening iSync. --->open preferences ---->reset sync history.
Reset your phone.
(Not sure if running disc utility will help--->repairing disc permission.) can't hurt.
Restart your computer.
Sync. w iTunes.
Hope this helps... The calvary will be here soon.

IPhone 4S: Update and restore issues double whammy
While trying to update to iOS 5.1 on an older Mac running Leopard and iTunes 10.5 away from home, the update was downloaded, but couldn't be installed. The error message said it was due to older operating system. The phone is frozen at the "USB to iTunes" screen, and hard reset isn't working. It occasionally goes to the apple-on-black start up screen, then back to iTunes screen.
Back at home with a Mac running Lion 10.7.3, iTunes 10.6, iOS 5.01. Now the phone isn't recognized in iTunes. I've restarted iTunes and Mac. I have the phone charging.
Forget the update, I'd just like to restore at this point! Thanks!Also: I have read http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808, but since iTunes doesn't recognize the phone, it's not recovering.

My itunes account on windows xp shuts down for no reason. If even try to delete something from my library it shuts down. It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and I can't connect to the store. I have already reinstalled itunes and did a system restore on my computer, firewall has been checked, itunes is ok on firewall and virus scan done. Ideas??
Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

i would like to know how to get all apps back , also to get the other icloud account off my iphone ?
If you restored the backup from iCloud, it will automatically re-download all your apps for you on its own.
If you restored the backup from iTunes, you have to manually download all the apps back from the AppStore.
Never heard of such issue with iCloud before but you can sign out of all iCloud account starting with,
Settings>iCloud
Settings>Messages>iMessage
Settings>Facetime
Settings>iTunes & AppStore
Settings>Game Center
Turn off home sharing on your phone if its on. Then sign in back to each one of them with your apple account. -

sorry for my poor english..Hello JD_NINJA,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Error 9006 when restoring your iOS device indicates that there is security software on your computer which is preventing connection to the Apple server or your device. To troubleshoot this issue please follow the directions below.
Check your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.

How do i reset my Iphone 4 password without restoring to default?
Recently I've been having problems with my roommates watching me enter my password which forced me to change it periodically.
Only now I can't remember what I changed it to most recently and restoring it to factory settings isn't really an option considering the volume of the content on the device.
I've been without access to my phone for the past week and it's getting almost aggravating having to call and talk to some lady about the issue I'm having, having her sound very empathetic and saying they could "assist me in resolving this today", only to have her say that I'd need to pay $30 just to have her tell me a few words.
I don't have $30 right now and I think it's beyond stupid that they're 'unable to help' me because of this.
In the Backups section of the Apple site I read:
" If you protect your iPhone or iPod touch with a passcode, you will be prompted to enter the passcode when you connect to iTunes. Once you successfully enter the passcode, iTunes will recognize that device as authorized and you will not need your passcode to back up or sync (Which I've done). When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode.) iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups. "
I've just tried restoring from a backup I created last week but my password is still enabled and I'm still unable to remember what I changed it to.
I'm not sure if I misunderstood the bolded section but I was under the impression that restoring it from iOS 4 or later would remove/reset my current password and allow me to set a new one. That hasn't been the case.
I'm not really sure where to go from here, so any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks,

i have an apple 3g, tried to upgrade it to a 4.2 version, (previously it was 4.1). it wasnt successful, the computer asked us to restore it to the version which was last operational, and while restoring an error message appeared "the iphone could not be restored, an unknown error occured
"This error is caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple."
Taken directly from this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275.
Plug your iPhone into iTunes and update it to the latest supported version, which is 4.2.1.

I have Iphone 5 and have an issue with deleting part of the messages in Imessage conversation. The trash button is not displayed to delete part of the imessage. I see only delete all option. Is it a bug?
Hi An Iphone user,
If you are having issues deleting a specific message from an iMessage conversation (not seeing the Trash icon), you may want to double-check that you are following the steps outlined in the following article:
How do I delete a message?
To delete a message, tap and hold the message bubble, then tap More.
Tap Delete All to delete all the messages. Or tap to select the messages you want to delete, then tap .
After you delete a message, you can recover it only by restoring from a backup.

My verizon iphone 4 is having 3G issues
Hi,
Here is my problem and it's rather annoying. I live in NYC, until a week or so ago my phone was fine. Now I am often having no data even though I have full bars and 3G displayed on the phone. It's frustrating because emails are not coming in, you can't access the web or any app that uses data. I called Verizon yesterday to ask them about the problem and she said the phone is probably still trying to connect to a certain tower that is no longer available. I was instructed to dial *228 (call) then press option 2. Sure enough it fixed the problem, except that later on when I moved from one location to another by either cab or subway, it happens again. I think it has to do with either the latest 4.2.7 update or the carrier settings. Luckily I was able to get on Time Machine and go back to March to pick up the old carrier settings and restore, I have no idea so far if this will fix the problem. Anyone else having the same issue?well it turns out that downgrading my carrier settings to the previous version fixed the problem. I hope no one else is having this problem and if you are, report it so that Apple or Verizon can fix it. When I was having 3G connection issues (phone would lock on a particular tower apparently) I had carrier settings version 10.1. I downgraded to 9.5 via time capsule /Users/YOURNAME/Library/iTunes/iPhone Carrier Support and restore the ipcc file. Then sync your phone (you don't have to restore your phone. Later you will be warned that there is an update to your carrier settings available, DECLINE to upgrade.

I attempted to upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1.1. I selected 'back up' from the phone in the device menu and iTunes confirmed that the phone had been backed up. I then installed iOS 5.1.1 which wiped everything on the phone & now I am getting the error "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".
I have tried restoring factory settings but iTunes simply will not restore from back up & I'm not sure what else to do!
Any advice would be much appreciated.I have the same issue and I KNOW my backup IS good. What happen is when you try to restore your phone apple says something like can I check for new updates and if you choose no, it just takes you back to the restore screen and a loop from then on. If you dont update from you phone then when you back up you will have the 5.0.1 back up and then when you update to 5.1.1 and then try to restore the backup from 5.0.1 it say it EITHER corrupt or incompatible.. It is incompatible and its hard as **** to restore back to 5.0.1. I followed the restore to a T and still getting errors. I lost all text history and have to reset up email. All just because I wanted a 1.2 Gigs of "other" space back.

IPhone 3GS - The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1013)
Hey everyone,
First off, here are my specs:
iTunes Version: 10.4.1.10 running on Windows 7
iPhone 3GS running 4.3.5 (not jailbroken)
I'm going nuts with this issue with my iPhone 3GS. After messing around with my phone, I managed to put it into recovery mode, which was not intentional. So I thought I could just restore my iPhone and resync, but everytime I do so, the iPhone will reach 99% (according to the progress bar on the phone), and then pause for 2 minutes and then come back with this error:
The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1013)
So I've looked at the Apple support page and followed those steps but didn't work. I have searched forums, youtube instructional videos on how to fix this error, but nothing seemed to work. I know about the "hosts" file in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc, but when I checked, there were no DNS entries for gs.apple.com. I've also tried restoring on different computers (including a Macbook), but the same issue occurs.
I have a feeling that because I'm using the latest version of iTunes, that it's causing this problem. I want to know if anyone can offer their help because again, it's driving me nuts!
Thanks,
