Iphone 4 info I am trying to restore my iphone 5 withand it tells me that it cant becauseit is corrupt or not compatible - both are iOS 6.0.1. It seems the only thing not to go across is all my texts which I need

I am trying to restore my iphone 5 from my iphone 4 and it wont restore texts. Both are on iOS6.0.1 but a message appears saying it is corrupt or not compatible with the iphone being restored

Can you create a new backup from the iPhone 4? If so, that would help, otherwise you won't be able to continue because it is identifying the backup as corrupt.

  • I just got iPhone 6 and am trying to restore my iPhone 5 backup but it keeps saying backup failed. Please help.

    Im trying to restore my iPhone 5 backup that i made a few minutes ago to my new iPhone 6 - but it keeps saying backup failed.  What do i do - need help Please.

    Here's what I found in this article Update and restore error messages on iPhone and iPod touch about error 14:
    I think you should start with checking the security software settings first.
    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

  • I cant unlock my iphone and i already tried to restore my iphone but that didnt work and now i am very frustrated

    i really need help I AM VERY FRUSTRATED

    If you have a SIM password on the device, you need to contact the carrier about that. However, if you are referring to unlocking the phone to enable you to use it with a different carrier's SIM, then you need to contact the carrier the device is locked to, see if they provide unlocking, and then see if you qualify for an unlock. Only the carrier the device is locked to can unlock the phone.

  • Dropped my phone in water and now the camera doesn't work, any ideas why its' the only thing not working

    I somehow knocked my iphone 4s in the sink of water and everything seems to work except the camera.  Is there a way to reinstall  the software or does anyone know what I can do other than using phone protection insurance?  All my pictures are there and they upload and share but just can't get the camera to take pictures.

    The device is damage, it was dropped in water.  You are lucky that the device works at all.

  • HT1386 I am trying to restore my playlists but it tells me that some files can't be found, how do I fix that?

    I am tryng to create a new playlist but some of the songs on the cloud have an explanation point next to them and they won't import.  How can I fix this?

    It appears that something happened to yur computer/iTunes files.  It happens sometimes.  To recovery:
    - Import the old music into the current iTunes library
    - Make sure all the apps are also in the library
    - If in the USA and therplaces where iCloud has benn released you can redownload most iTunes puchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - You can always redownload apps at no additional cost as long as you are singned into the same iTunes account the originally purchased them.
    - After all the suff in in the iTunes library, make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes. 
    - Restore the iPod from backup and restore as necessary.

  • I have iPad4   a new Windows7 laptop. Both are connected to my home network but the iPad is not recognised as part of my network in the Laptop network page. Is this normal?

    In addition to my question above, when I originally synced between the ipad and PC I lost 2 x albums and iTunes says it can't find the files. Is this part of the same problem?

  • I tried to restore my iPhone 5 to factory setting and when i did it attached to a person i do not know apple id so now i can't use the phone. I purchase the phone from sprint and used it for 2 years and never had a problem.

    Hi - I tried to restore my iPhone 5 to factory setting so I could give it to my son but when I did it reset to someone else's apple id. I don not know this person and I am the only owner of the phone purchased from Sprint. How do I get this phone to work?

    Its called Activation Lock. Take the phone to Sprint and explain your problem. It is their fault and responsibility to properly reset used phones.

  • Hello everyone, I am trying to restore my iPhone 4s and every time I try restoring it, it always goes to about 75% of the process then it says the iphone could not restore because of error 1. This is not error -1 it is error 1.

    Hello everyone, I am trying to restore my iPhone 4s and every time I try restoring it, it always goes to about 75% of the process then it says the iphone could not restore because of error 1. This is not error -1 it is error 1. I reserached this error and it said to make sure I have the latest version of iTunes, i do, To make sure i have a security software updated, i do, and ive done everything it tells me to do yet it wont let me restore my iphone. Before I tried restoring it, it was working perfectly fine besides the battery which i have just replaced yesterday. Ive tried restoring it in two different computers with two different cables but still no luck. I found this phone at a park and it was working perfectly fine until i tried restoring it. I have no idea what to do now. I appreciate your guyses help!

    This error generally indicates a hardware failure.  Bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • HT201210 I tried to restore my iPhone 4s through iTunes and received error message that Restore could not be completed due to error 2003. Phone now not recognized in iTunes, with prompt to restore, phone w/screen with iTunes symbol and can't use.

    I tried to restore my iPhone 4s through iTunes and received error message that Restore could not be completed due to error 2003. Phone now not recognized in iTunes, with repeated prompts to restore phone. Now phone w/screen with iTunes symbol and USB cord can't use. It appears the phone has been restored, but I cannot activate it.
    I disabled my anti-software, iTunes and computer software (microsoft vista) are both up to date, I restarted the computer several times. My usb ports are working properly. I followed the troubleshooting suggestions from apple.

    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

  • ITunes keeps saying the server could not be contacted when trying to restore my iPhone 5

    I'm trying to restore my iPhone 5 using iTunes, because my battery life has greatly decreased, and I believe it to be a software problem. Therefore I'm wanting to wipe the software completely, and update it again, but when I hit restore, it extracts the software, and then tells me the update server could not be reached. I'm not sure what the problem is, I updated my iTunes again and retried but the same thing happened. Please let me know what to do to restore my phone

  • Trying to restore my iPhone 4s from a previous backup and I keep getting a message that says "not enough room on the iPhone". Help!

    I am trying to restore my iPhone 4s settings from a previous backup and now I'm getting a "not enough room on the iPhone" message. This is very frustrating. How can I fix this?

    If the backup you're trying to restore from is encrypted, you will not be able to use that backup if you can't remember the encrypted backup passcode.
    If on a Mac, & you elected to save the passcode to your Keychain, you can recover the passcode from your Keychain. Otherwise, your data is unrecoverable.
    While you can continue to sync/backup, if you can't remember it & want to remove it, you'll have to delete your existing backups & restore the phone as a new device. Your data will be unrecoverable.
    You delete your existing backups here: iTunes>Preferences>Devices.

  • I'm trying to restore my iPhone 5 to the original settings because it did not sync my contacts from my last phone (it synced from my husband's phone instead).  I keep getting a message saying that files were corrupt so it couldn't restore settings. Ideas?

    I'm trying to restore my iPhone 5 to the original settings because it did not sync my contacts from my last phone (it synced from my husband's phone instead).  I am trying to delete everything so I can back it up from my previous phone and not my husband's.  I keep getting a message saying that files were corrupt so it couldn't restore settings. Ideas?

    I tried following the instructions listed in the following thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19512128#19512128
    but have still been unable to backup data using the third party software.
    TouchCopy tells me I have no photos or Video ad won't alllow me to copy any of the critical files e.g. Notes, Calendar, Contacts, Messages, etc.
    Anyone have any other suggestions for backing up my iPhone? Or help using TouchCopy?
    If I am ever able to get TouchCopy to work, should I be using Copy to iTunes or Copy to PC option?
    Thanks!
