ITunes keeps telling me the restore (after upgrading to iOS 5) has been interrupted.

I am trying to upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.
As my MacPro is still running Snow Leopard, I decided NOT to sync with iCloud but rather with iTunes.
Every time I connect the iPhone, iTunes tells me the restore has been interrupted and offers to resume backup.
When I do, it starts restoring, restarts the iPhone and then I get same message.... over and over again.

Did you try to use another USB cable or USB port?
If you would be on a PC, I would also suggest to check the security software settings, but on a Mac there is usually no 3rd party AV software installed.
Any other USB devices connected during the update process, besides keyboard and mouse?
Maybe you should consider to remove and reinstall iTunes, if changing the USB port or cable does not help.

After I updated to iOS 7.0.2, my iTunes keeps telling me to restore my iPhone, after I restored it. Can someone tell me what I can do to fix this?

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Restart / Reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Backing up, Updating and Restoring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

Same happened here on my iphone 4. I heard it's something about bad meta data in the music files but I've no idea. It seems to be fixed by deleting the music from the iphone and then syncing it back on. No need to reset so far luckily!

TS1646 I need to delete either my Itunes account or delete the credit card information because my account has been hacked.

You can't delete an account, and all of the account's downloads will remain tied to the account.
On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on your phone then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.
Changing payment info : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918
If you haven't already done so then you may want to contact iTunes Support to let them know : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Itunes keeps telling me to restore my iPhone and won't let me sync it.

Itunes says it is syncing apps but it won't transfer purchases nor sync any apps from the computer after upgrading to iOS 5.

I just upgraded to iOS 5 and itunes synced my music fine. When I tried to sync the apps (they were all selected), it said that there were 5 steps, which included "Preparing for sync" and "Preparing apps to be synced". However, the sync was over in about a minute, no apps were transferred, and when I went to check the apps tab on the iPod, all of the apps were selected (which usually equalled over 1GB), yet it said that the apps were only worth 0.04 GB. I tried unchecking one of the apps and it immediately shot up to 1.04 GB! Thinking it may have been a computer problem, I tried to sync with a different computer, but I had to transfer purchases first. Again the same thing happened: it claimed to be syncing but nothing really happened. I don't know whether it's a problem with Itunes 10.5 (although I haven't heard of anyone with this issue) or my iPod. Help would be appreciated.
Note: I'm using an iPod Touch 4th g and my computers are running windows xp and 7, respectively.

So just got off the phone with a senior Apple support person and here is the fix they gave me for the app issue. Not sure if it will work until I get home to try it. It appears that a lot of these issues are in relation to Apple's move from a generic Apple ID not attached to a specific email to an actual email address. Since my .mac or .me email was never verified with my original Apple ID (just my name) the iCloud was not recognizing that I actually had any apps associated with my account when signing in with the new .mac email that was connected to the iCloud. The below fix she stated would separate the iCloud and iTunes allowing the iCloud to handle all of my mail, contacts, calendars etc. and iTunes/store to handle the apps and purchases. I will update again if this takes care of the issue.
Go to applied.apple.com
-       sign on with existing Apple ID (not an email address)
-       add an email to your account and verify it
-       edit your Apple ID to the new verified email address
On iTunes
Step #1
-          iTunes store
-          click on Apple ID in the upper right corner
-          click edit
-          edit Apple ID to new verified email address associated to account
Step #2
-          synch device with cord
-          click on device
-          go to the App tab
-          deselect synch apps
-          apply
-          synch
-          go to the App tab
-          select synch apps
-          apply
Step #3
-          on device go to store and enter the new verified email address as ID and password under store
You probably will have to do this to all devices that are synching with your iTunes account

Itunes won't recognize iphone 3gs after upgrade to IOS 5

Backup for Iphone on itunes was made on DELL INSPIRON MINI 10 laptop running XP Professional, Thursday evening 10-13-2011.
Upgraded Itunes to new system (ios 5) Friday evening 10-14-2011.
Connected Iphone to laptop Saturday afternoon to sync and upgrade phone to ios 5. after 2 hours phone was wiped clear, and itunes dropped recognition icon from list. several attempts were made to re-sync. all failed, itunes would not recognize. ended up restarting phone and installing upgrade on another computer. Laptop still failed to recognize.
attempted upgrade to Ipod and it locked up on "Disconnect before removing'. opened Itunes dropdown and selected 'Diagose devise' and was able to restore ipod and sync with itunes. afraid to attempt 'diagnose' with iphone, now that it is working.
back-up for iphone still appears on itunes,,,, just can't back it up...XP is unable to 'ICloud' and my DELL Window Vista Home Premium won't install updates so ICloud won't load....

Help please - my computer does not recognize iPhone after upgrading to IOS4 and iTunes 9.2 ---- I have WIndows 7 --- have tried EVERYTHING and still it does not work. I want to do my albums via the computer, not iTunes since it adds the Photo Library folder, which is a duplicate of all my picture folders.
Does anyone have a real solution please? I have uninstalled, installed, deleted drivers, installed drivers - the computer says the drivers are working, but obviously not.
When is Apple going to post the solution so that people will know what to do - seems everyone has an idea, but none are working for me and the extra photo folder frankly drivers me crazy ---- something about iPod cache ----- do not want duplicate pictures.
And, will albums be able to be edited - can these pics not be sent to Facebook.
I know, several topics ----- what a mess Apple has created with IOS4 and iTunes 9.2. Ready to send the phone back!

HT1725 itunes keeps giving me an error message that "Your Apple ID has been disabled". I have tried changing the password and billing information, but continue to get the error message.

I have been trying to download items from itunes store, but keep getting the error message "your Apple ID has been disabled. I changed the password and updated billing information, but still get this error message. This involves free apps which I was trying to install.

I am having the same problem. I went through the process to have the ID unlocked (Changing password etc.) and was able to log in here on the website to post this message. Why am I still getting "Your Apple ID has been disabled" as a message after verifying the account here and signing in and out on my Device. This has been issue on my Ipad as well.
Thanks.

Battery life on the 4S after upgrading to ios 5.0.1

Ok just about to upgrade to the new software (late I know) I have a 4S 64GB phone. All I have seen are people complaining that far from resolving the issue on a lot of models it has made the batter life worse - as well as uncovering a few other 'glitches'. Does anyone have any good stories to share about the upgrade or should I just not bother?!
Thanks in advance for all those who believe in the iphone community x

Ok I know that this is rich coming from me espeacially as I haven't upgraded to the new software on my 4S but a few people have stated that deleting your mail settings and re-configuring is something that helps but no one really talks about. The other thing is to try and restore as new from itunes and then draining the battery to 0% followed by a full charge. Hope that helps.

I can't agree to the terms after upgrading to iOS 7.0.3 because my phone is giving me a defunct Apple ID - help!

I upgraded to iOS 7.0.3. When I switch on my phone again it asks me to sign in with my Apple ID.
This is fine - except that it's giving me the email address I was using six months ago. I have never used that Apple ID with this phone, and it's no longer associated with my iCloud account.
Because I can't sign in, I also can't agree to the terms and conditions. This means that I can't use my phone.
This is beyond upsetting, I don't even have an alarm clock for tomorrow morning! How can I get it to prompt me using the current email address for my Apple ID? I've logged into my Apple ID on the site and the former address isn't associated with the account in any way, so I don't know where it's getting this old data from.
Of course all Apple stores in my city are booked solid until Monday. I cannot wait that long.
Any help would be really appreciated!

The fix is to log into your current account. Go to appleid.apple.com and change the primary email and apple id back to the old email address (doesn't matter if you have it any longer). Once the change is made, then enter your password for that account on the device. Once you get in, go ahead and go back to appleid.apple.com and change it back. That fixed mine.
need to edit this to clarify a bit

Itunes keeps telling me to restore my ipod to factory settings.

So I logged on to my computer this evening, and the iTunes icon was gone, so I used Search from the start menu found it and opened my library, When I did there was no music in it even though I have 103 songs, so I plugged in my ipod so that I could copy the songs on it to itunes and it opened saying I need to restore it. So I did and then it opened up the same thing over and over again.
So now I can't access any music on my ipod. Please help!

Is this a sony vaio?
There is some Sony media management software that causes a conflict with itunes saving its library database file.
