Iphone was disconnected during restore

I had a problem with the iphone3.  I was doing a backup and restore and my child disconnected the phone during the process. So now I have a white apple with a hollow line (empty progress bar) but I cannot turn it off or do anything at all. I took out the card but it makes no difference. Any idea how I can get the restore redone?  Thanks

Yours will be a bit different because we can't force the phone to restart by holding both buttons.
You can try and put it into 'recovery mode' which is slightly different from 'DFU mode'
Try the following:
1) Let the battery run out
2) Plug the phone in (so it powers on), do not have the phone connected to a computer as this will try something else
3) As soon as the screen comes on press and hold the home button (make take 30 seconds)
4) Wait for it to pop up with a symbol showing to connect to iTunes
5) Try to restore in iTunes

  • HT1351 My iphone was disconnected during a sinc and now has songs that are grey with a red circle and sqare in the middle of it. None of these songs play. tried deleting all the songs and re sincing but to no avail???

    my iphone was disconnected during a sink and now many songs are grey and have a red circle with a red square in the middle, they will not play

    Thanks, this is not an ideal answer but probably the most sensible one in my case.
    I will try it unless someone has a better suggestion, but I'll wait a bit as it will take me a few days anyway (I had actually tried to create a new smaller playlist or download by album, but at this stage the music app is not letting me queue a list of songs for download - I think I will have to disable and re-enable iTunes match which will probably delete all the songs).
    I have to say I am not very impressed with Apple here - having an online backup of all your data and beeing able to restore it to a new device easily was a strong selling point of iCloud. For music, they are Definitly not delivering at the stage.

  • My iPad was disconnected during upgrade. I've tried restoring and resetting.  I just did an iPad erase in "find my iphone" and it still shows the itunes logo and the fire-wire cable on the screen with an arrow. It's currently plugged into my computer.

  • HT4623 I tried to update my ipad air to IOS 7.1 but it shows error that "The software for the iphone was corrupted during download" How can I fix this problem ?

    I tried to update my ipad air from IOS 7.0.4 to 7.1 on iTunes. I clicked download and update, it started to download normally but when download finished iTunes shows error that "The software for the iphone was corrupted during download".
    How can I fix this error ?

    I had the same problem. In the end I downloaded it manually. Here's the steps assuming you are on a Mac and have an iPad Air (Wifi). If not you can find other restore links here.
    In the terminal (it kept failing to download in Safari):
    curl http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS7.1/031-4521.20140310.D2Ydl/iPad4,1_7.1_11D167_Rest ore.ipsw >>~/Desktop/iPad4,1_7.1_11D167_Restore.ipsw
    Once the file has downloaded, move it to ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates/
    Quit and relaunch iTunes.
    Should now work for you.

    I am on Mac but have a slow connection (its called 'Narrowband') and have had the same message twice.  It downloaded Safari 5.1.1 to my macbookpro but I hate it (no back button and keeps on crashing) - I'm on Snow Leopard - the initial message is that it will take 10 hours to download.  I may try at work where they have a faster connection.
    However, is there another way to download the Iphone update (and Ipad2)?

  • My iPhone 4 was disconnected during ios 5 update - now i have error -50 showing and cannot get phone back on. Help!

    during IOS5 update my phone was disconnected from itunes. i reconnected it and continued the update by clicking 'continue restore'. Itunes is now saying the the phone is updated to version 5 and appears to have fully synced. however, when i turned the phone back on i have the set-up screen and when i select to restore the phone through itunes i get a message with options to 'continue restore' or 'delete backup'. when i select 'continue restore' itunes then gives me an 'error -50' message and just syncs the phone but nothing seems to happen - the phone does not do anything. 
    Should i delete the back up and start over, or will that delete all my contacts?
    Any help is much appreciated!

    Everything is Sorted!
    The release of iTunes 11.0.2 and iOS 6.1.2 for my iPhone 4, seems to have sorted everything. I can now sync music, films and photos between my MacBook and my phone.
    I was dubious about blindly doing the updates but decided they couldn't really mess up any further functionality so I went for it and it's sorted now.
    Look in to, and take the gamble, it's up to you.

  • IPhone 3GS Restart During Restore Process

    please help me. i can solve that? or i need to go to technical assistance in my phone company?
    thanks...

    You are not talking to Apple here, we are just users, and many will view another users problem and not respond because they have no idea what to say or do, However, according to Apple's support document regarding restore errors http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1275
    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • How to stop iPhone automatically disconnecting during an iTunes update?

    When I'm updating my iPhone on my brother's laptop or my grandfather's computer iTunes updates my iPhone well, but when I try to update my iPhone on iTunes on my computer, it will say "8 hours remaining" or during the "8 hour" update it will say that my iPhone has been disconnected during the update. I won't even touch the phone and this message would still appear. Can someone please help me because I really want to upgrade to ios 6 and this is the only thing that is in my way. Could this be a problem with my computer or my iPhone?
    Thanks, for future references

    Probably a slow internet connection where your at
    the update is very large (700mb ish) so it can take a very long time to download (roughly the sice of 250 mp3s for example)
    Best bet is to go somewhere where else with wifi (starbucks, mcdonalds, etc) and try the update there

  • HT1688 cannot backup because my iPhone was disconnected?

    Trying to backup my iphone to my computer and i am receiving the error message that it cannot be backed up because it was "disconnected"

    Clean the connector on the bottom of the phone with a soft dry toothbrush, and inspect it with a magnifying glass to make sure it is clean and has no bent pins.
    If this does not fix it disable the firewall and antivirus on your phone. And if that doesn't fix it you most likely have a hardware problem.
    To ask Apple call them or visit an Apple store.

  • Why does my iPhone shut off during restore?

    My iPhone 4 randomly shut off one night while it was charging. Now while the phone is unplugged, the screen is black. If I plug it into the computer and hold the lock button and home button for 10 seconds (DFU mode) I get to a screen with a USB cable and a blue itunes logo and I can see the device in itunes. In itunes there is an option that says "Restore iPhone...". After I click "Restore iPhone..." it begins to restore normally, but once itunes says "Preparing iPhone for Restore" my iPhone screen goes blank and the restore ends with a message that says "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (2001)." I've looked all over the internet for solutions, but I can't find any. So if anyone knows what's going on with it, please let me know. Thanks.

    Im having this same issue with various errors (1611, 21). Did you find a solution or does anyone else know how to resolve this? Thanks!

  • HT201269 Iphone disconnected during restore.
