ITunes Brings Self to Focus on iPhone Restore
When I restore my iPhone (which is taking quite a while), iTunes feels the need to bring itself into focus as the active window about every 30 seconds. Is there anyway to disable this "feature"?
Bump, Currently the same problem here. Thought I was ******** but apparently 4 of us are now. Even displays a screen on the phone that says it's optomizing the photo's but have yet to see a picture pop up that was sync'd from my pc.

Some of the songs I bought from iTunes will not sync to my iPhone. They show up on my phone, but the letters look faed and I can't play them. How do I fix this? I tried restoring my iPhone and it didn't work.
Sorry, I meant the letters look "faded" not faed.

when I was talking on phone, suddenly the phone was switched off.
i tried to switch it on but it gave the message....connect to itunes for set up.
when I connected it to itunes...it gave the message, itunes can not read data from this iphone, restore it to factory settings. It also said while restoring ypu will lose all media data but you can restore the contacts.
I restored the factory settings....the phone was on recovery mode...it was verified by itunes and all that..but in the end it again said that iphone has some problem and can not function right now.
after that when ever i connect it with itunes, it gives the message, it can not activate the iphone further, try again later or contact customer service.
What to do now?????? Customer service people say..it is hardware problemIf it's a hardware problem, then the phone will need to be replaced.
There is no magic that can fix a hardware problem. -
ITunes won't let me update or restore my iPhone.
So, I got my new iPhone 4S (16GB, Unlocked) yesterday for Boxing Day (hooray!) and since that morning, I've been trying to set it up. Before I bough it, I was using my SIM Card with another phone, and so I had to 'convert' it to MicroSIM, since that's what the iPhone supports. I had the SIM Card with me, and inserted it in my iPhone to set it up, as was required. At first try it didn't recognize it, so I took it out to check if I placed it correctly, and, after I put it back in, everything was ok. I downloaded quite a few apps and have a 'latest' backup on iTunes and iCloud. This morning (27th) I took my SIM card out, so I could transfer my contacts from the old phone. After I copied them, I tried to put it back in, but it wouldn't recognize it. After figuring out I was experiencing the infamous 'No SIM Card Installed' error as described on article TS4148, I followed the instructions. I backed it up and restored it. iTunes did its thing, downloaded the latest version of the firmware by itself, and restored the iPhone. And here is where the problem is. I was expecting the phone to read the SIM card properly this time, but it didn't. I'm not sure it downloaded the right version (5.0.1 9A406), to be honest, as I lve in Cyprus. So, here I am with this factory-default iPhone that cannot get activated because it cannot read the SIM card, and not restored to a downloaded version of the latest&correct firmware, because iTunes will also not allow me to restore it again unless I activate it, which requires a SIM card. Note that in Cyprus we have no Apple Stores.
Thanks for your time,
GeorgeAn update: I tried manually entering Restore Mode with TinyUmbrella and then rstoring it from the IPSW I have downloaded, but for some reason it's not letting me because it's incompatible in some way. I've also tried using my SIM with my old phone and it won't recognize it. I guess the only thing I can do is follow deggie's suggestion and get a new MicroSIM. Thanks!

I lost the app "app store" on my iphone. How to get it back? I couldn't find a way neither on the iphone mor on iTunes Could you please help me in restore this app? Thanks
The App store is a iOS function and cannot be deleted. Try checking other home screens/folders and see if you can locate it. If not, go into Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

Hello guys, I'm begging for your help, I've read so many threads, nothing works for me. I hope you will try to help me
First message I get when I connect the iphone is
"The software on iphone has expired and must be updated to a newer version"
Then it tries to backup but I get
"Itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined"
When I click check for updates it says I have the latest version (5.0)
When I try to restore I always get "iTunes could not backup the iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone. Please disconnect and reconnect the iphone, then try again"
Tried that MANY times but no luck.
This iphone was on a developper account but it is not anymore (removed from developper account).
I'm the administrator on my PC. When I'm on the summary of my iphone it shows N/A as my phone number.
Back up to icloud doesn't work because I didn't set it up before it stopped working
When I try to activate it directly from the iphone I always get "Could not activate iphone. Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarely unavailable..." (for the past 3 weeks :s)
I can access my music and everything from itunes.
I even tried to restore it from the ispw file (using shift + restore) but I got an error message (sorry I don't remember which one) but it didn't work.
I also tried device manager, select PC, scan hardware for changes (read it worked for some) but not for me after that I don't get the
"The software on iphone has expired and must be updated to a newer version" and "Itunes cannot sync apps to the iphone because the apps installed on the iphone could not be determined" ...I just get "Itunes could not back up iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone" + "itunes could not sync because a connection could not be established with the iphone"
Please help me make it work again! I'd go to an apple store but I'm in south-east asia at the moment and there is nothing like it in 700km +
This little machine would be perfect to travel with, it's a shame it just stopped working like 3 weeks ago, just said I needed to activate it again ...
Thanks a million times!I can't access it on the iphone as I said
On itunes in summary I have "Software version: 5.0"
Yes I tried to restore it
"When I try to restore I always get "iTunes could not backup the iphone because a session could not be started with the iphone. Please disconnect and reconnect the iphone, then try again" ...did that many times but always the same error message
"I even tried to restore it from the ispw file (using shift + restore) but I got an error message (sorry I don't remember which one) but it didn't work." -
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.

I got a new iphone- went to sync with itunes just to get music and it restored my phone to my old phone's settings. lost everything including ALL of my pictures. Is there any way to unsync my phone so I can get everything back?!!! please say yes!!!!
In short. No, you cannot unsync. If you had a back up from your old iPhone you cand restore from a back up.
In iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Devices > and select the latest back up.
Before you synced your phone did you have it set up with the PhotoStream or iCloud? The pictures would be saved there. Or if you had them sync to a file on your computer. -

I have manually back up my iphone few days back, and my contact got missing the next day. i restored my back up from iTunes, however, my contact did not get restored. How do i check if the manual back up did actually back up my contact or not? How do i get back my old contact in my phone?
Your entire second paragraph is so confusing I am going to ignore it.
But I may be able to answer your first and third paragraphs, which seem to address the same question.
I wonder where your iPhone states it was backed up yesterday. I am going to assume that you see this under Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
If that is true, then the backup from yesterday is in iCloud. The one and only way to restore an iCloud backup is to do this on your iPhone:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
That will cause your iPhone to begin a setup process. As part of that process, assuming you enter the same Apple ID you used when you created the iCloud backup, you will be offered the opportunity to restore from it. -

I bought a iPhone 6 yesterday and I restored my iPhone 6 from my iTunes back up. After my phone restored from back up. When I plug my iPhone 6 it's still saying my iPhone 6 is new and still giving me the restore from a back up or set as a new iPhone option. But I already have it restored. How come it's not giving me any option to cancel.
Click set up as a new iPhone. It will associate the device with your library without clearing the content that you have already loaded onto it.

My iphone4 has been stuck on the connect to itunes logo for a few hours. I connected it to itunes and it says that the iphone is on recovery mode and that I need to restore it to use it with itunes. I'm afraid that if I restore it I will loose everything help please!!
AT this point whatever data you have on yoru phone is already gone since it is in recovery mode.
However you can restore from your backup, when your phone reboots from recovery.
YOu do have a backup right?

Earlier this year we migrated/upgraded our GW7 (NetWare 6.5) system to GW8 (SLES) and there were a few issues that we didn't pick up until a week or 2 later. Most of these have been fixed up now, but we have a few issues with our document libraries.
