IPhone Refuses to restore from backup after iPhone OS 3.0 -Please Help!

I have a 3G iphone I backed it up on itunes and then installed OS 3.0. I tried to restore from the back up but it refused to giving me the error message 14. Additionally my phone is locked and I am unable to use it except to make emergency calls.

Try placing your iPhone into recovery mode. If successful, this will require restoring your iPhone with iTunes.

  • IPhone will not restore from backup after upgrading to iOS4

    Hey guys,
    I updated to iOS4 just fine on my iPhone 3G 16gb model. Unfortunately, what occurred after that is what's giving me a headache. Whenever I try to restore my iPhone from the backup I created, my laptop keeps freezing when it hits about 8-10% completion. It has no major problems with freezing or locking up, and I'm pretty sure that my iTunes is the problem. My phone will now no longer play my music, nor will it even display half of my custom ringtones(even though they appear on my ringtones list under my iPhone in iTunes), nor will it display any of the songs that I purchased through iTunes on my phone recently.
    Most of the other features are working fine, though I have not tested everything. I still receive text messages, phone calls, and can access the internet, so it works how I absolutely need it to, but this is becoming an extremely frustrating ordeal. Please let me know if anyone has experienced something similar or knows of a solution.
    Thanks!

    I can't find anything specific on that error code, but this Apple article may give you some ideas on how to fix it: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
    You may have to "Restore as New" if you cannot get it to restore from a backup. You will lose your game data but that is about the extent of the effect.

    I just got an iphone 6. Not all of my music was on itunes, so I logged in and instead of clicking set up as new iphone I hit restore from backup, thinking it only pertained to the music in itunes. Now my new iphone looks just like my old iphone and has iphone 5 settings. How can I undo and get back to iphone 6 settings?

    Settings/Reset/Erase all content and settings...
    Recently I had to do the sequence above and when the phone rebooted, it came up as a new phone.

  • Replacement iphone - trying to restore from backup, but iOS v 6 running and won't update from recent backup

    Replacement iphone - trying to restore from backup, but iOS v 6 running and won't update from recent backup. How do I ensure I get all my photos etc onto new phone?
    Thanks

    If you're old phone that was repalced was a higher version of iOS, it wont be able to restore. Update your iPhone to the lastest iOS 7.0.4 and try to restore it then.

  • Trying to restore from backup of IPhone 4 onto New IPhone 5 - Message "ITunes could not restore the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".

    Hi
    I'm trying to restore from backup of IPhone 4 onto New IPhone 5 in iTunes but getting message:
    "ITunes could not restore the iPhone "iPhone" because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored".
    I've repeated the backup of my old phone but I'm still getting the same message.
    Any ideas please?

    I just spent 3 hrs with AT&T tech support. No visual voicmail! i wiped phone 3 times, reset. everything no visual voicemail.
    I can access it through dialing holding down 1 then enter password, bu t Visual voicemail is DEAD. ATT says apple has major bug and fix won't be out until OCT 5th.
    If you Google it it lights up like a cristmas tree! Verizon is also inodated.
    1. Fake Map app usless Apple is fixing it though
    2. Batt is a joke, last like 2 hrs
    3. No visual voicemail
    4. Face time on ATT no longer works on cellular data per apple design.
    We need Steve Jobs!! he would have fired somebody for all these mistakes.
    Nopw i am locked into crashing my car because i have to type in numbers to here voicemails.
    Come on Apple send us a rebate or a Iphone 5 that meets the specs stated on the box and advertisments.!!
    We love Apple and dedicated, but this one is a joke.
    Not to mention you jacked us all being locked into 2 year plans with Verizon or ATT.
    No face time unless i buy a Bucket of 5 gb over celluar?  give me a break Take care of us apple Buy ATT and igve us unlimited plans with facetime and data you got enough money!

  • Time Machine will not let me restore from backups after June, 2013.  I can see the files on the external hard drive but Time Machine skips all of them and goes back to June, 2013. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

    telling me to buy a new router is NOT a solution.
    And why not? Apple is selling these things like BigMacs. They can't make enough of them. You've been suffering since May because you refuse to get a decent router.
    Can you imagine if a company that makes a refrigerator told me that I needed to upgrade my electrical system to rectify a problem with their device? What kind of response IS that?!?!
    What if the problem with their device is that it requires a new-fangled "grounded" outlet and your circa 1890 house doesn't have grounded outlets. Would you refuse to purchase a $ 25 adapter on principle?

  • No Camera App after restore from backup on iphone 4

    OK so I backedup my iphone 3g which was on 312 on itunes 9.2 before my iphone 4 arrived today. I restored from backup and all of my apps restored. I can't seem to find the camera app! It's driving me crazy that I am trying restore the iphone 4 as a new phone but downloading the iOS4 firmware for iphone 4 is taking more than 3 hours for some reason.
    Has anyone seen this?

    Why not? If old data is recovered by restoring, then new data after last back up lose. If keep new data after last back up remain, lost old data can't be regained, even may be user's lack of knowledge, iPhone should not be for the people of one class...I am really sad for all who suffer the lost of their hearts (valuable data that can never be recalled) like me. How can I continue to use idevices?????

  • Restored from backup after a new iPhone and had photos on the phone. Is it possible to retrieve them?

    Hi guys I recently got a 5S and restored from backup.
    Before restoring from backup I had a few photos I had taken, is it possible to get them back?
    Thanks.

    Hi Agebrah,
    If you set up your iPhone prior to your restore from backup, have iCloud, and had Photo Stream turned on, there is a chance that those photos may be in your Photo Stream. You may find the information in the following article helpful:

  • All contacts disappeared on iPhone - Can't restore from backup, iCloud now gone too

    Just sitting and watching TV and having some minor text conversations on my phone (5S).. Next thing I know a message pops up without a name and the +1 area code an number.. The message is from the same person and number I was just texting. Strange I thought.. Pulled up my contacts and "no contacts" is displayed. Checked my settings.. iCloud contacts are still enabled.. reset my phone.. reset network settings.. nothing helped.. I thought, no big deal.. I backup every night.
    First time restoring from backup, I saw all the contacts there and thought i was in the clear.. 10 seconds later, they disappear before my eyes! Getting very frustrated i tried an older backup. They don't even show up. I log into iCloud on my laptop and they are there for 2-3 seconds and disappear.
    I've been using iPhone's since the original and have the new phone every year.. I pretty good with these phones, but this has me stumped/very frustrated. Has anyone experienced this or found a solution? I'm out all my contacts from the last 8 years.. Thinking I never had to worry because I've backed up!
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!
    Ryan

    I don't think that is the case.. I noticed they were there when I would first complete a restore from backup but as soon as my apps started loading they would disappear again.
    I got them back by immediately turning on airplane mode as soon as I completed the restore. I the turned off iCloud sync and selected keep contacts on this phone. turned iCloud back on and selected merge contacts.
    First time I tried that it worked for a minute until the apps started to update again, I believe it might have been WhatsApp, then, what do you know, contacts gone again. I repeated the process and, this time, I deleted all my apps. Seems to be working ok now. All contacts have stayed.
    Is it possible that an auto update for an app that accesses your contacts could have a bug that does this? Whatever it was, I am very glad I got them back.

  • How do I restore from backup on iPhone 4S?

    I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 on Wednesday and last synced it with my Mac on Thursday night at 11:30pm before going to bed.  I bought the iPhone 4S on Friday morning and started it as a new iPhone.  I think that I did something wrong, because I never saw the option to "Restore From Backup" so that I could port over my last iPhone 4 with iOS 5 back up.  Can someone tell me if/how I can do this?  Maybe I need to restore my 4S and start over. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Thanks Bryan.  Sorry to sound like such an idiot.  The first time I tried that, but backup options didn't auto populate.  I restored the 4S and followed your advice above.  Worked like a charm.

  • Restore from Backup after 3.1.3 Update doesn't work!

    I can restore my apps just fine. I just want my text messages and contacts list back!
    This is the first time it happened. I encountered no errors while updating, have made no changes in any settings, and have just made a backup right before updating. Somebody please help!

    Sorry, I can't help, but if you don't get a response here, try asking in the Backup forum. More people familiar with the app may see your issue there.
    Good luck.

  • Photos mysteriously vanished and iphone won't restore from backup. iOS 6

         Ok well hopefully someone has a good answer for this because I know numerous techs that currently work for apple that are going to have some very colorful stories to tell their familes over dinner about an irate customer they were trying to "help" earlier in the day.  After updating to iOS 6 I suddenly realized that not only was every App, contact, and song missing but also every picture that I had on my phone.  I began to sigh a sigh of relief when I realized that after syncing with itunes the Apps, contacts, and songs were replaced with great haste until I realized that I still had none of my pictures.  Mind you alot of the pictures are saved in otehr locations on the computer and some to my email but there are several pictures of my twin baby girls that have been saved over the course of the last 8 months that were only on the camera roll.  I looked into the issue a bit and found a solution that looked promising.  Restore the iPhone 4s to the backup file that was made by iTunes that was before the pictures were all erased.  Followed the manual perfectly only to recieve error messages about how there is not enough space on my hard drive to create a file.  Not only is there more than enough space but the message itself is extremely confusing because I am not trying to make a file....I am trying to apply a file that is already on the C Drive to the iPhone through iTunes.  I have manually went into my hard drive and located where the file is being kept.  Mind you it is all encrypted but after the arduous task of adding up all of the little file's and big file's sizes I have come to the conclusion that this is indeed the backup file seeing as how before all my information got molested I had a little under a gig of space of my phones 13.5 capacity and after adding aaaaaaalllllll the files together in the "backup" folder I came out to a figure of ~12.5.  If anyone is willing to or can help then please do because currently teh words irrate and ****** don't begin to illustrate the anger that is boiling within me at the thought of paying a company for a service and being a loyal customer and then having 8 months of memories ripped away because of some glitch or mishap.  Thanks    (to whoever can help, not to Apple ((Apple can rot and die for all I care))  )

    Just had the same problem, did this and it worked.
    Delete all of your previous backups, do an new backup from scratch, and then restore from the new backup.

  • Iphone 5 cannot restore from backup - help

    I believe I have tried everything humanly possible. My iphone 5 was having issues where it was not receiving responses to group texts. It was recommended that I do a restore. I backed up via icloud first. I double checked to make sure I have more than one backup available. I usually save out my photos before restore but didn't do it this time and I regret it. My daughter's pics from her birthday (5/5) are on there and I'm afraid now I'll never get them.
    These are the things I've tried:
    tried restoring from all backups listed (many times)
    apple replaced my iphone
    tried accessing photos from photostream, didn't know about this till apple guy setup as new phone and made me enter my icloud. Think that may have wiped the photos I did have in there.
    tried reserving static ip - think I did that right
    looked into QoS but my time capsule doesn't support that
    tried from multple wifi spots (3 spots)
    tried dhcp reservation - think I did that right
    apple guy checked that backups were there and ok, they were
    Errors I've received:
    At first I received, lost connection when it was almost done
    After a while the error I get now is "cannot restore backup"
    Always fails in the same spot, 85%
    The first time I blindly trust icloud to do it's job it fails. Obviously lesson learned. All I want is my daughter's pics...I'm ok losing everything else. I just can't believe I can't download my icloud backup to my computer and restore that way. All 3 stored backups have failed, I know I probably have more.
    My next step is to call apple support, but I fear I'm SOL.
    Anyone have any ideas? Willing to try anything.
    Thanks in advance!

    Sorry to say my friend, but any second you going to lose from that moment on is a lost second. I d like to wish you luck and after all said and done - get back here and tell me if I was wrong. BTW if those were text group messages, your phone was never a problem.

  • My iPhone 5 was restored from backup, and while it was restoring everything else all my pictures slowly went from 900 to none. where did they go and how do I get them back?

    My iPhone has been acting very strange lately and the only way to get it to turn on and function is to restore it. I restored it from a backup of my phone before I restored it. I was mostly worried about my pictures. I was relieved to see them all there,
    until the number of photos in my camera roll and other albums began to go down. soon enough, all the pictures I had restored were deleted. where did they go and how can I get them back?

    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:
