IPhone won't restore after update to iOS 5

I recently tried to upgrade to iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 but whenever I do, I receive the message: "iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPhone “Thundercracker”. Would you like to restore this iPhone again now?" I've tried several times, with no interruptions, and can not get the iPhone 4 to restore from backup. The last backup was made immediately before the update and the iPhone was pretty full before upgrading.
Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas on how to get my information back?

When I tried to update to ios5 it gave me an error as well and stayed on the iTunes screen saying the device is in recovery mode along with an error number. Now,I had gone to apple store previously with this issue when tryin to restore my iPhone only. They said that sometimes the software might be crashing because of an app. The solution is to restore it as a New Phone. Then Put everything back manually. So when I was on the process of installing the new iOS 5 the error seemed to be similar and apple gives you all the troubleshooting codes and fixes. I had to put a command before proceeding. I did that and it seemed to work for one of the iPhones, I was updating 2 iPhones at the time. Then for the other one when it stayed on the iTunes screen I just disconnected and connected the USB cable again and instead of doin update I did restore first and then update and that solved the problem. After restoring it will automatically update and put the information you had before the update back to your iPhone .

It won't restore after Updating to IOS 6

After updating to IOS 6 my ipod shows the following message constantly "itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode you must restore this ipod", I need HELP!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPhone 4 won't restore after updating to ios 5!!!

After restoring iphone 4 with ios 5, itunes is stuck in "set up your iphone" mode asking me to restore from backup however whenever i do restore it goes back to the same screen asking me to do it again, all my contacts photos and other info syncs but no apps and cant use phone on itunes because it keeps telling me to restore from backup.. please help!!

So I went to the apple store today since I was having the same problems, they reset it back to factory settings. Plugged in Iphone to laptop and the same two options came up: 1. set as new Iphone or 2. restore. So I restored thinking it would then synch...nope.
They told me if I didn't work to bring back my Iphone and laptop, it might be a problem with Itunes.

HT5957 iPhone 4 requires restore after updating to iOS 7.0.2

I recently updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.0.2 and now it is asking me to connect to iTunes to restore the phone.
Not sure that it was a very good idea to install iOS 7 it on the iPhone 4. Too slow and I keep finding bugs.

Iphone 4s won't charge after updated to ios 6.1.3

iphone 4s won't charge after updated to ios 6.1.3
Different adapters and usbs have been tried, and now power has been drained.
Apple support says there is nothing they can do about it, and they surggested me to pay 199 for a new iphone.
Is there anybody having the same problem?

I'm having the same issue with iphone 4.
Seems to work ok after i connect it to itunes but then the next day i have to do it again.

TS1717 my iphone 4s won't activate after updating to ios 7?

my iphone 4s won't activate after updating to ios 7?

Same here. I heard of some way to bypass the activation but it was patched .

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!

What does this mean?
Settings iCloud and add your AppleID.

I bought an iPhone 5; 16GB and after updating to ios 7 am unable to bypass the activation screen because am told is locked to the owner's iCloud account but I can't contact the owner. What can i do to rectify the situation. Bought the phone for $500.

What if I purchase a device that is still linked to the previous owner's account?
Contact the previous owner as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account. For complete instructions, read how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.

Iphone 5 VERY SLOW after updating to IOS 6.1.3. What is wrong? Restoring it does nothing.

My Iphone 5 is miserably slow after updating to IOS 6.1.3. I've tried restoring it and nothing works. What happened? It's even restarting over and over on its own

I guess it of no use...It is with subscription....batteries issues will not be entertain....Lots of reasons. Company will not entertain batteries issues unless is really serious.
Anyway, I will continue to use it with bare Apps...I will not buy any apps, no movies, musics...cause it would last me a day. I will definitely not buy any Apps.
the last verison 6.02 was definitely better at battery management...this version is really bad. Do not know why some users said 6.10 improved the battery....but mind did not.
Forget about buying Apple products again...this is mind first time using a smartphone (as a gift too)...and how disappointed I am. Truely, if company wants users to use their products, they should give decent batteries...the IP5 has the same battery as the 4S and 4S last at least 2 days.
With all the hype and marketing that Apple is making...a decent battery should be provided.... I am not asking for anything more....what is the point of having the most advance IOS or hardware..when batteries cannot give users a decent life (2 - 3 days are good enough) not 1 or less day....By the Way, IP5 isn't cheap. It is were, I would not waste my time posting here....
This is really hopeless and pointless
Disappointed, really disappointed and displease. anyway to get back version 6.02..cos 6.10 really hopeless for me.

IPhone 4s not recognized after update to ios 7.1

My iPhone will no longer sync nor show up in windows explorer (running Windows 7) after installing update 7.1. It may be relevant to note that I had replaced the dock connector prior to updating to 7.1, but the device was still syncing and showing up in the explorer. After updating, it won't show up plugged in and not on WiFi sync either.
I have followed the advice here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
I have had no success. I have tried multiple cables which I don't believe are the issues since they charge just fine.
Has anyone discovered a solution besides the aforementioned for this?
UPDATE 1: It should also be important to note that the iphone does not show up in device manager AT ALL. Not under Universal Serial Bus controllers nor Imaging devices. There are no "Other Devices" or "Portable Devices" categories listed on my Device Manager.

Can anyone please help? This community is not like it used to be...
The worst part is, I cannot even do a restore since the device does not show in windows at all. I have even tried another computer and it is not showing up. At the very least, can someone tell me if they believe this is iPhone hardware related or iPhone software related?
As I said, the iPhone was syncing just fine after the dock connector replacement. It was only after updating from ios 7.0 to 7.1 that the problem arose.
Please any little bit of feedback is helpful.

ITunes won't work after updating to iOS 8.3

After updating to iOS 8.3 my iTunes App on my iPhone 6 Plus and iPad Air now both don't work.
If I go to play an sample of a song, the little square box with the cover on spins around and then spins back around and no music will play. I'm all so unable to play any music that I've already purchased via iTunes on my iOS devices.
Any comments on what could be causing this?
All so, on another note. My friend has just updated to IOS 8.3 and he just noticed that he no longer even has the iTunes App on his iPhone 5.
Thanks.

After posting this, I've since found out that my iOS iTunes App on my iPhone 6 Plus works all OK when on WiFi, it just won't work when on the data/3/4G connection.
Anybody else having this same issue since updating to iOS 8.3?
