Itunes error when restoring iPhone?

Hello, i have an iPhone 3g 8gb, when trying to restore to the latest firmware (4.2.1), at the last moment of restore, when its nearly finished, it stays on the apple screen on phone with the little bar for restore then when you think its done it comes up with error 1002? Any help guys? Thanks

Possible hardware issues
Error 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014 : These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue.

That error often indicates a hardware failure.Try restoring a few more times. If it consistently gives you that error, make an appointment at the genius bar to have it looked at.

Itunes error when restore unable to contact the apple server at this time try again later, how do i get around this??

restored through itunes as i bought it and coud not activate it. when restored searching....no sim... have rang up hpone if not blocked or anything and is on o2 can someone help me please?

If the phone was hacked to unlock it, it will not be able to activate until and unless the original carrier authorizes unlocking it. Since the UK carriers will not authorize an unlock for a phone that is not actively in use on their network, and you will not be able to activate it on any network until after it is unlocked, you will most likely not be able to activate and use it at all. It's a catch-22.
Return it to whereever you bought it and get a refund. Then buy a phone from a legitimate source.

Getting a -1 error when restoring iphone

I tried to upgrade to IOS5 and my phone got wiped out completely. The phone now only shows the silver apple logo or the connect to itunes screen.
When I connect to itunes, it says the phone is in restore mode and has to be restored before it will function with itunes. I click on the restore button, a window appears saying there is an upgrade available and asks if I want to set the phone to factory default and install the upgrade. I start the upgrade and the software loads & the verify completes ok, then it updates the firmware. The install goes ok, but when the verify is run, I get unknown error (-1).
Is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks,

I have exactly the same problem.

Error when restoring iPhone (-50), data wiped & no device backups listed

After upgrading my iPhone 4 from iOS 4.3.x to 5.0.1, iTunes cannot complete the restoration of my phone using the backed up data (contacts, photos, etc). The phone is essentially factory-reset with iOS 5 and now whenever I connect my phone to my computer, iTunes prompts me with the following:
"iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPhone 'My iPhone'. Would you like to restore this iPhone again now?"
... with options to Cancel, Continue Restore, or Delete Backup. Choosing 'Continue Restore' returns an error message: "An error occurred while restoring this iPhone (-50)."
The Device Backups list in iTunes Preferences is also empty, as if no backups were ever made--despite iTunes displaying it performed a backup prior to installing iOS 5. There are also folders in the following directories:
C:\users\name\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
C:\users\name\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Backups *
* A folder (~6gb) was created here at the time I upgraded.
Is there any way to retrieve my data? Or complete the restoration? I lost everything since 2010.
I'm running:
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
iTunes 10.5.0.142

Solution in another thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2698089?threadID=2698089&tstart=103
(1) I deleted all but one folder in: "Users/NAME/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/MobileSync/Backup" and then deleted all the files in this folder but leaving the folder intact.
(2) Next, I copied all the files from: "Users/NAME/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/iTunes/Mobile Backups/RANDOM FOLDER/Structured" and copied them into the folder above.
(3) Then I selected the folder which I copied the files to in: "Users/NAME/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/MobileSync/Backup" in my iTunes restore from backup option and what do ya know...it worked. All my wife's data was restored...pics, contacts, etc.
I would suggest creating a backup now that you can find in iTunes. Then access that folder and delete all the files in it. Copy and paste all the files from the folder you mentioned above into the new folder that you can access in iTunes and then try to restore from it (as iTunes should still see the original folder). That's what worked for me. I would recommend that you make copies of both folders somewhere though in case it doesn't work for you then you at least have original copies. Good luck!

Backed Up Iphone to itunes and when restoring its looking for a password to restore! None requested or set at original backup. Can anyone help?

Backed Up Iphone to itunes and when restoring its looking for a password to restore! None requested or set at original backup. Can anyone help?

I have not restored device so have all my data on it still. Am not pluggin it in for first time, did this originally when setting up phone. I have an option to restore to original backup as well as 'set up as new'. What happens if I chose the 'restore from backup' option.' how do I go about backing it up first - if i right click 'iphone'' option on left hand side under devices the only option is'eject' or 'restore'. I'm not sure that my iphone is being recognised by itunes - should it not give the name of my iphone under devices?

ITunes keep saying restoring iPhone after updating to iOS 5

I have just upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 5. After updating, my iTunes keep saying restoring iPhone apps. Now I can use my iPhone but without my previous apps. I have also tried closing iTunes and open it again but it still says restoring iPhone apps as soon as it detact my iPhone. Does anyone knows how to solve this problem? By the way, I am using Windows.

I had the same issue with my iPad. The iPad itself thought it was fully updated (had taken me to the iCloud set up etc) but iTunes insisted it was still restoring apps. I closed down iTunes each time via the task manager.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, which didn't help.
What I did in the end was disconnect the iPad while iTunes was still running - without any attempt to eject it. When I then plugged it back in, it came up with an error message along the lines of "An attempt to restore this iPad was interrupted. Do you wish to continue attempting to restore?" I hit cancel, and I was then able to do a manual sync as normal, and all my app data was restored.

ITunes could not restore iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored...

I replaced a faulty iPhone 4S with a new handset today, another iPhone 4S. I was certain to backup my previous iPhone 4S to iTunes on my PC before returning the faulty unit. The new phone was 'set up' at the Apple Store and updated to the current iOS, 7.0.4, as was the faulty unit prior to replacement. Upon connecting the new unit to iTunes to restore to the most recent restore point from earlier in the day, the following message was shown:
"iTunes could not restore iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone that is being restored."
I've browsed other forums and have contacted the Apple Store Genius Bar, and will hear from the Lead Genius tomorrow. In the meantime, I am hoping someone may have information for me on what I may need to do in order to restore my phone as I'd anticipated doing by now. My photos, email and text messages are what is affected and have not repopulated. My music is accessable via iCloud without a problem and my contacts were kept via SIM. I regularly copy my Camera Roll from my iPhone to my computer, and most of my photos are still viewable via Apple TV/My Photo Stream however only through the photos last saved. The 348 recent photos that were on my faulty unit, and viewable in My Photo Stream were presumedly safe, but have disappeared.
I have yet to shut down or restart my computer, nor have I exited out of iTunes, for the simple reason that I'd anticipated returning home with the new handset and plug it into my computer to restore right away. I did, but that's as far as I've gotten.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Had the exact same problem whilst upgrading my iphone 4 to ios5. Lost all my data.
Backed up ios 4.3 (8F190) iphone4. Upgraded to ios 5.1 (9B176), and then tried to restore.
No joy, repeated the restore attempts countless times - lost all my data
Tried again with a simulated test.
Created a new itunes account on a new PC (64-bit windows 7), latest itunes(10.6.1.7- 64 bit).
As my data is toast, I'm using the ios 5.1 phone to try to see if it was me or an apple bug, or something elsewhich caused this to happen.
After quite a few more hours at it, it looks like a bug in iTunes / ios. I would be very happy to be wrong, though.
Tried repeatedly restoring an ios 4.3 backup to 5.1 - no joy.
Happy to try again - it does restore partially (got the call register transferred, but no SMS'es or anything else).
Any ideas?
