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.

Restoring iphone after updating to ios 7.0.4

I just updated my iphone to IOS 7.0.4 and am having trouble restoring from itunes backup. When I click on the restore backup button, it seems to work momentarily, until I get a message stating "could not restore iphone because not enough space is available on the iphone." How do I proceed from here, without having to restore to factory settings? I appreciate any suggestions, thanks!

I would try restoring to factory settings first. You won't lose anything since you have a backup file and you don't have many other options left to you.

HT201210 i want to restore my iphone and it keeps saying The Iphone software update server could not be contacted

WHY DOES MY PHONE KEEP SAYING " THE IPHONE SOFTWARE UPDATE SERVER COULD NOT BE CONTACTED???

The most likely reason is you once used your computer to hack or jailbreak a phone or iPad, and the process corrupted the network database on your computer. You need to edit your hosts file and remove any lines that contain gs.apple.com.
The other possibility is that your firewall and/or antivirus is blocking access to Apple's activation servers.

If you mean you are having trouble activating your iPhone after
updating to iOS 6:
iOS 6.0.1
Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
My phone is from USA and unlocked version and I paid 750 USD.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
USA
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
I used BSNL - India previously. After I get problem, I used Mobily -Saudi Arabia again I got problem and I am trying to use Airtel - India.
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does It mean?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
Airtel 13.0

Hello,
I cant activate my iphone after updating to 7.1.2. Before this I update my iPhone from 7.0.6 to 7.1.1 everything goes fine. But after update to 7.1.2 I cant activate my iPhone eventhough I use the same Apple ID when I activate this iPhone.
Please dont ask : Maybe you forgot your Apple ID password? - I use my apple ID almost for 3 years for my iPod n iPhone. And it still fine for my iPod.the
I have : -
1. A box with same IMEI serial number.
2. Service Card with same IMEI serial number.

This is just a prove that this iPhone is not a stolen iPhone.

Cannot restore iPhone (after update) error 1013

As I tried to update my iPhone3GS to 4.3, I get a message that says "the iphone could not be updated. an unknown error occurred (1013)"
Obviously, all the data got erased, and on connecting the iPhone again to iTunes, the message appears stating that the iPhone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. And this is where the main problem lies- I tried to restore the phone and I get the same message "the iphone could not be restored. an unknown error occured (1013)"
I have tried everything possible- used another laptop, used another itunes account, tried the solutions from the support page; but nothing! I am left with is the iTunes logo on my phone. I don't care about the software update, I just want the phone to work! PLEASE HELP!

This is happening to me too. I am so incredibly frustrated! Monday is a wild business day for me and all my conferencing info is in my phone! I can't even turn it on.
My error message is (6), and I've tried using three different computers so far. I just keep getting the message my phone can't be restored.

Itunes keeps saying my iPhone sim isn't there, and iPhone telling me..

Okay, so I turned my phone on earlier and a message came up.
"iPhone needs a restore, please connect to iTunes and restore" (not word for word but you get the meaning)
So I connect it, and yes I have the newest version of iTunes out. When I connect my iPhone a message comes up
"iTunes cannot activate your iPhone because the SIM card is not inserted or a SIM Pin is required"
I have never had a sim pin on my phone, I've disconnected my phone and taken the SIM card out and re-inserted it, nothing.
I dunno what to do

Try placing your iPhone into recovery mode for the restore with iTunes.

Cannot sign in into app store on iPhone after updating to iOS 8.2

Hello guys,
I'm having a problem here, I wonder if anyone else has this problem too and also have a solution for it. so, I tried to restore my iPhone by iCloud backup.. everything seemed to work well until I did chose the backup I want, after that an error pop ups saying something like "Cannot connect to this backup server." or "Cannot connect to server" I don't remember exactly so I was forced to set up my iPhone as new. I did that, everything seemed but when I tried to download some apps I obviously had to log in into my Apple ID... and every time I try to log in into App Store/iTunes store I get this error "Cannot connect it iTunes store".
It never happened before updating to iOS 8.2
(It happened sometime in the past when I tried to log in into app store, but after closing the settings from the task menu and re-open it again it worked)
Check THIS post guys, I think it is happening to a lot of users.
Thanks

As per the Apple iCloud status page, they are having issues. Do not make changes at your end.

Cannot restore settings after updating to iOS 5

I have upgraded successfully to iOS 5, well almost, because just after the upgrade finished, I wen't through the settings (language, country, WI-FI) and was then given a choice to set as a new device or restore from backup. Since my backup is on my computer I chose restore from iTunes.
But restoring fails, and this happens for both my iPhone 4 and iPad 2. I've been given a number of errors (-19 or -50) and sometimes it just says "iTunes cannot restore iPad because the backup session failed".
This happens on both my iPad and iPhone no matter which backup file I choose.
With the iPhone I've tried to put it in recovery mode and reset to factory settings, but I still can't restore it.
Anyone else with this problem, and does anyone know what to do?

READ THIS!!!!!
For anybody having these issues here is what I did.
First of all, BACKUP your original backup, yes a backup of a backup. First of all make hidden files visible, at your explorer go to tools>folderoptions>view and show hidden files and folders. If you cant find the tools at your window press alt and a toolbar will appear. The file is located in C/users/YOURACCOUNT/appdata/roaming/applecomputer/mobilesync/backup.
Again this is just a precaution.
Now if you some sort of anitvirus program, ESPECIALLY if it is AVAST. Turn it off! For some reason it is conflicting with restoring with the backup.
Restart Itunes and plugin your iphone, it will probably still come up with the (-50) error. Ignore this! Now right click your iphone under devices at the left side of itunes. Then choose then do restore from backup and wait. Hopefully your Iphone screen will say restore in progress!
Now I just hope this helps someone as I was freaking out because I was updating my bros iphone. And he had a lot of saves and photos etc.
If you have ANY questions please ask as I know how frustrating this error is.

Playing music on my iPhone after updating to iOS 5.0.1

After updating my iPhone 4 to iOS v 5.0.1 non of the songs I have purchased through iTunes will play on the phone. It is not possible to synch the songs to iTunes and the songs are only visible on the phone. When playing songs the songs on the phone are seemingly playing but no sound comes out. Can anyone help me?

So... Have you tried a Transfer Purchases to get the songs too your computer? Then if they play there, you can delete them off the iPhone, and then sync them back on from iTunes.
