Iphone 2g wont backup after 3.0 update!

I recently updated to the 3.0 firmware and now every time i try to backup my phone i get the following message Itunes could not back up the iphone "Brandon's Iphone" because the iphone was disconnected. does anyone know what the problem could be? i would really appreciate the help!
Thanks

Apple should advised on upgrade to 3.0 about the after effect on the iphone 3g. It seems that all they say is try reset which making it worst. A lot of 3g's owner are facing similar problem. Apple must come up with a solution to overcome this setback before you lose customer, mind you we pay lot of money for an iphone instead we could have settled for other brands which I think have less issues.Steve Job if you are reading this...WAKE UP MAN !!!!!

  • My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

    My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

    I was having the same problem, I backed up my phone and then updated to iOS 5 and then it kept telling me it could not restore from my backup as it had failed.  After reading a bunch of forums and posts and trying everything, I did manage to get it to work.  I had tried the Time zone, creating a new computer user account, disabling anti-virus, etc.
    It took a combination of things, one of which was disabling the anti-virus completely and copying the contents of the backup folder to my desktop and then deleting everything in the backup folder.  Then I rebooted the PC, entirely disabled the anti-virus, copied the one backup I wanted to restore from the desktop to the backup folder and then trying to restore.  Low and behold the phone said restoring from backup and I am back in business, so when in doubt, trying combining some of the fixes together.

    Iphone 4 error -1 after trying to update, stuck in recovery mode, cant get out. tried dfu mode, plugged into computer wont restore

    From Apple Support Doc.

    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    Looks like a hardware failure. Appointment at the Genius bar for evaluation and possible replacement.

    Re: iTunes could not back up iPhone because the backup could not be saved on the computer

    Did  you ever figure this out?  I followed these instructions and it  worked!  May have had something to do with the old MobileMe program  becoming obsolete.  After you click "Finder", then "Go", then hold down  "option" button, then click "library" folder, then follow folders as  listed.   I also deleted the MobileMeSyncClient folder (found in the  same location) since it is no longer in use either.

    this works...
    You   need to delete the MobilSync backup folder.  I have a Mac.  Went to   /Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup and deleted the Backup   folder.
    to   find your "library" folder you need to open "finder" then go to the  top  tool bar menu and open "go" then hold down the "option" button and   "library will appear in the "finder " menu on the left hand side...   cheers

  • My IPhone 5 is blocked after asking for update IOS 7.0.2 any idea To unblock it please

    My iPhone 5 is blocked after asking for update IOS 7.0.2 it shows on the screen iTunes with an arrow. Any idea To unblock it please?

    I have a similair problem.  My Iphone 5 has been doing a recovery for approximately 6 to 7 hours.  Should I expect it to take this long or should I restart the process?  Itunes does say it is doing a recovery and looks active but I question the length of time that this is taking.
    Thank You in Advance...

  • Have a error code 4013. iphone 4s wont restore after update.

    my iphone will not restore after update. it is stuck in recovery mode. i get error code 4013 everytime a try to restore but i cant find anything on error code 4013.

    DFU mode is also good as stated above, however the instructions for DFU mode are below (please note this is not the same as recovery mode) -
    Plug your device into your computer.
    Turn off the device.
    Hold the Home button and Power button for 10 seconds
    Release the Power Button but keep holding the Home button
    Keep holding the Home button until you are alerted by iTunes saying that it has detected a device in Recovery Mode
    Make sure the device screen is blank and no logos are present, device screen should remain black.
    Error 4013 is due to security software issues. Uninstall all security software completely, try again, if the issue persists I would either recommend another computer or calling AppleCare tech support at 1-800-APL-CARE (for US customers).
    Note- this is even if your device worked fine prior to iOS 7 update with your security software. The change in the operating system on the device can cause compatibility issues with these other programs.
    I hope this helps it worked for me!

  • Wont reboot after iOS 7 update

    wont reboot after iOS 7 update

    I had the same problem.  Here's how it repaired.  First need to note that I backed up my ios6 iphone5 to my MacBook Pro via iTunes and did the update to ios7 tethered to iTunes via USB.  The iPhone hung on restart to ios7.
    I disconnectd the lightning to USB chord.  At that time the icon/graphic came up on the iphone screen to tell me to connect to iTunes.  On reconnect, the iPhone told me that it had to be restored and that this would "wipe out" all settings and items stored on the iPhone5.  So it was just like turning the iPhone 5 on new out of the box.  I was good with this since I had backed up.
    The iPhone 5 then went through the restore process first installing the "most recent" ios, which happened to be ios7 since that was the latest downloaded via iTunes.  Once the base ios7 was installed I was then prompted to set up a new iPhone or restore from the latest backup (which I had done just prior).  I chose restore from latest backup and the iPhone went through the process of resyncing to iTunes and reinstalling all apps, music, pics, video, and "others" ... a looong process.

  • IPhone 3G freezing up after 3.1 update

    I have three iPhones in my house hold. I update all of them 3.1 at the same time. Tow of them are 8 gig 3g models and the third one is a 16 gig 3GS. Since the update to 3.1 there are times the phone freezes up at random. It will not respond at all. Just a black screen. You can not power it down to do a reset. I will just have to let it sit. Sometimes 10 minutes up till 2 hours before it will come back to life. At times it will not make or receive phone calls or text messages or it freezes up on an app and you cant do anything with it other than leave it alone. Battey life since the update on both 3G models is half of what it was prior to 3.1. Not sure what causing this issue. Does not seem to affect the 3GS as much. More prone to the 3G than 3GS. I have tried a rest, restore and even erased phones like they were new and downloaded every app and song like it was the first time. No help. My daughter had a flat last tuesday night and her phone would not function at all. This bug needs to be corrected ASAP. I can not rely on a phone that is not going to function at random or in an emergency situation. My daughter was frantic and could not get in touch with anyone to let us know she needed help. Phone was a paper weight at that time. She had to walk to a store and call me from a land line. Apple- Fix the problem. My daughters life could be a stake and were relying on a cell phone to stay in contact when shes not a home. Is'nt that what we have cell phones for? To be able to place a call anytime needed? Can someone tell me if Apple is taking this issue serious? This is crazy. Phones freeze up at random 3-5 times a day since update to 3.1.

    I have kind of the same problems here... after the 3.1 update my iphone started to fail in several aspects... the displays freezes up, does not respond at all. I cant turn it off or on, it wont respond even after trying to reset. Sometimes I have to wait up to 1 hour for it to come back. At times it wont receive calls, drop calls, wont get txt messages. I went to Claro (carrier en GT) and they couldnt provide me with a solution, however offered me a new iphone 3GS... yeah right, some solution.
    This problem WAS NOT caused by me, I have not jailbreak my iphone and I have used itunes to perfom updates all the time... APPLE need to solve this problems ASAP with a new update version or a patch, something...
    Does anybody managed to fix this kind of problems? what should I do?
    HELP !!!

  • HT6154 rear camera on iphone 5 not working after ios 8 update why?

    My iPhone 5 rear camera is no longer working after ios 8 update its just black I can see the flash choice the hdr and the timer but other than that it is a black screen

    Hi there fjci2003,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch 
    You see a closed lens or black screen
    If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

  • Mail wont open after snow leopard update

    Mail refuses to open after update,when initated it flashes in the tray then disappears,has apple a fix for this problem?
    Or admits it exists.
    Thanks

    Mac OS X v10.6: Mail.app won’t open, or "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4424?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Fellow user Grant Bennet-Alder offers this solution:
    Some users have reported this problem if the Mail Application has been moved out of the top-level /Applications folder, or duplicated in another location.
    When the Security Update is done, the old version of Mail is disabled.
    The solution has been to:
    1) make certain Mail is in the /Applications folder
    2) There is no other copy anywhere else.
    3) Once steps 1 and 2 have been done, Manually download and re-apply the Security Update (2012-004) by hand.
    Security Update 2012-004 (Snow Leopard)
    If the Mail.app has been LOST, it can be re-installed by applying the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. But this update is quite large and it is usually not necessary:
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1

  • HT4623 my iphone 4 needs rebooting after trying to update through air, but i dont have access to itunes. Is there any manual way to do this?

    my iphone 4 stop working after trying toupdate, how can i reboot without itunes?

    If you mean it's in recovery mode, no. There is no way around it. It must be restored using a computer running iTunes.
