Hi,
For no apparent reason my phone stopped working...so I did a reset and got the message 'Restore Needed'. I connected to iTunes and got this message: 'iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on your iPhone before it can be used with iTunes'.
The problem is, I can't enter my passcode because I'm not given that option on the iPhone. All I seem to be able to do is make an emergency call.
It's been working fine otherwise. Any suggestions?
This is the SECOND replacement iPhone I've had this week and I'm getting a bit fed up.
Thanks in advance for any help,

Are you referring to the 4 digit passcode needed to enter the phone and use it's features?
If so reboot your iPhone and enter the passcode to get it operational. Launch Image Capture on the Mac and connect the iPhone. Now you should be able to download the video files to wherever you want on your hard drive.

IPhone says "Restore Needed", but iTunes doesn't recognize it. Now what?

My iPhone was sitting untouched this evening. When I woke it up, it said "Restore Needed. iPhone cannot make or receive calls. Restore from iTunes." But when I plug it in to my computer, iTunes doesn't recognize it. I have reset the phone to no avail. What do I do next?

Thanks for the reply. I tried everything suggested. Now when I try to restore the iPhone from iTunes, it says the iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error has occurred (23).
I give up.
Would it be better to take the phone to the AT&T store where I bought it, or to an Apple store?

Help!! Iphone 3 restore needed!! - keeping data

HELP!!!! my iphone 3 is displaying a msg saying "restore needed" i have no signal from a network (which i have already spoken to them about) and iphone tells me to plug into itunes. When i plug it in, my computer asks me to unlock my phone, i am unable to do this as my phone has locked me out, allowing emergency calls only. I have heard about doing a type of reset however, i havent baked up my phone (idiot) and i dont want to loose pictures or messsages, or contacts!! about to cry ...any ideas??

Has happened to me buddy..... But there are a few ways to get around it.
1)
- Take your iPhone and hold sleep/wake button + home button....
- Your iPhone should power off then reboot, when it reboots release both buttons..
**soo if that didnt work try this... And this is the last thing u can do**
2)
- Hold sleep wake/button + home button again
- But when iPhone reboots ONLY RELEASE THE POWER BUTTON DO NOT TAKE YOUR FINGER OFF THE HOME BUTTON
- This should put your iPhone into recovery mode. (At this point if you plugged it ino the the computer it would read it)
— When You do the step above your iPhone should have the iTunes sync on the screen which is what we want, do not get worried when you see that.
- Return and do step (1) above
After that your iPhone should be good to go and actually not need a restore haha
Good luck to you i know this stinks

HT201210 my iphone keeps needing to be restored

My iphone over the past month and a half is constantly needing to be restored. Sometimes it can be weeks apart and other times it can be more than once in a day. My phone will usually lose network service before coming up with the 'activation required' screen, when I then unlock the phone it shows the screen requiring you to connect the phone to itunes. Is there anything that I can do to resole this issue??? I have oviously restored it many times and all of my itunes and iphome software is up to date.

The nearest Apple Store is three hours away. Asking if anyone else has any suggestions? It also doesn't seem to be going into recovery mode anymore and is just doing the restore needed thing every few hours.

IPhone Crashed-Says Restore Needed-Can't Enter Password to Restore!

Earlier today while using my iPhone with Telenav, it suddenly just quit working! It felt hot and wouldn't come back on for a few mins. When it did come back on, it said Restore needed. However, when I connect iPhone to computer, iTunes cannot connect because of password!!! iPhone will NOT allow me to enter password! Shows iTunes or iPod Screen on phone and will only allow me to make emergency call! This phone is my life!!! My whole life is INSIDE this one! Calendar, numbers, documents etc!!!! I feel lost! How can I restore when I cannot enter password to connect?? HELP PLEASE!! It is the first of the 3GS phones and have NEVER had a minutes problem until now and it is nearl 4 years old I think! Has 32GB.

Thanks - I tried that just now. Didn't work. The passcode prevents the phone from being accessed. I have no idea what the guy used when he did it before but it was like magic.. there was a green button, he clicked it, the password screen went away and the iPhone home screen just popped up like nothing - I wish I could figure this out. If this program could override the password it would be absolutely perfect. Any other suggestions?

I have an iphone 3GS, I went to back it up / update apps through my itunes. I did this, but a certain app I download wouldn't work on my phone as "my iphone software needed updating". So I did, now I can't restore & my phone shows itunes logo with plug?

Happy to have been of help. Hope all goes smoothly.
BTW, for the sake of others who may help you here, it's usually most polite if you mark the post that answered your question as being the one that "solves" it, not your own post. That's how people get points here, if a questioner marks their post as either "helpful" or "solving". It's not an issue for me, but for those just starting out in the forums it may be important to them. See:

Hi there Katherine,
I have an article here that addresses this error code and can give you a few more troubleshooting suggestions for this issue:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Check USB connections
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
Regards,
Braden

Is there a way to backup iphone when error message says restore needed

My iphone is with Verizon Wireless. This morning I lost service to the phone and when I attempted to restart it it has a message saying restore needed, telling me to plus it into iTunes. I've plugged it in to iTunes but iTunes is not recognizing my phone. Is there something else I can try? Verizon is sending me a new phone but I do not have a recent backup of this one.

Unfortunately you cannot backup a phone that will not start up.

My iphone all the time has a restore needed sign, what should I do?

my iphone all the time has a restore needed sign, what should I do? I tried the support steps & it didn't work =(

Unable to Update or Restore..?
See Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps..
     Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.
     If the issue persists...
Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
     Be sure to make an appointment first..

HT1766 Hi, i have iphone 4 after restoring again one msg is popping up restore needed

Hi, i have iphone 4 after restoring again one msg is popping up restore needed. can anyone tell me how to fix it
and on top left side it is showing as no servide instead of network name

Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend.

My iphone is saying "restore needed"

My Iphone is saying Restore needed, but my phone has a password and will not let me get into itunes, i cannot do anything with the phone, how do i restore??
Help!

The passcode is needed only when you try to restore unsing a computer the phone never synced with before. Restore using the computer you sync with.
Questions: Why don't you know your own passcode, and why don't you have possetion of the computer the phone syncs with?
