ITunes will not go past "Welcome to Your New iPhone" screen after multiple attempts of restoring old data of iPhone 5s.

Hello,
I'm really sorry if this is posted in the wrong place...
So just yesterday, I decided to update my iPhone 5s to the new iOS, 8.1.1 but I did not have any room on my phone due to most of the storage being taken up by "other". I backed up my phone onto iTunes and proceeded to restore the phone to its factory settings. Aftewards, the new iOS was presumably loaded onto my phone through iTunes. When my phone restarted, I clicked "Restore from this backup" and continued. It reloads again and I open my phone and went through the settings. When I got back to what I normally saw, all of the apps but one were gone. My backgrounds, contacts, and photos were there, but my music was gone. I looked back onto iTunes and the "Welcome to Your New iPhone" screen was there again. I restored it to my back up once again, but to no avail. I can't get past the Welcome screen. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm afraid that if I restore again I'll lose the apps I reloaded onto my phone once again.

No. You have no alternative but to plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.

    Depending on what iPhone you have when you get to the connect to wifi you should be able to activate your device over cellular data. Try doing a hard reset by holding the home circle button an power button until an apple pops up and the  go through the setup again and when you get to the wifi part a option should be setup with cellular data iPhone 4 and above should give this option sometimes doesn't like showing up that's why u have to do a hard reset first

  • Can't get past "Welcome to Your New iPod" screen on iTunes!

    I don't know how to get past the "Welcome to your new iPod" screen everytime I connect my iPod to my computer. Please help!

    Same thing is happening to me. Its been happening for 2 1/2 weeks now. I think its because Itunes is down.

  • TS1362 I have a Mac Pro tower, am running osx and iTunes will not work.. It basically just stopped working after having run faultlessly for...years... I can see all the songs, playlists etc, but the progress bar will not progress..it's 'stuck'. Suggestion

    I have a Mac Pro tower am running OSX and iTunes will not work. It has always worked flawlessly. I can see all my iTunes content- my playlists, my songs et cetera, But I cannot play anything. The progress bar is  'stuck'...any suggestions?

    Thanks. I have been using iTunes since its inception and have never had a problem...I'm using the latest version. The progress bar is the bar that moves when you're playing a song..it just won't start when I double click on a song,..have tried quitting, rebooting etc but nothing works. Apple are useless-they have told me twice they've tried to call me 'momentarily', but I've been waiting by the phone, and they definitely have not tried to call...

  • I restored my iphone 4 and whenever I connect to itunes it comes up with welcome to your new iphone

    Ok so I had to restore my iPhone because it wasn't able to connect to iTunes or something like that. So I restored and updated my iPhone and now it comes up with "Welcome to Your new iPhone" and below that it says set up as new iPhone or restore from this backup. I have used the restore from backup 3 times and each time it comes up with the same thing again. I don't want to set up it up as new iPhone because I don't want to lose my messages and contacts.

    Try restoring as a new device first.

  • HT2204 I have a different email address and itunes will not allow me to use my new ID! I cant download anything!

    Why is itunes not allowing me to use my new email address? Itunes wont authorize to me to dowload anything - I haven't accessed Itunes for over a year during that time my computer crashed, I had to change email addresses and things got lost...like passwords and so forth and so on...I recieved two emails to [email protected] from itunes saying all was good and then all wasn't good. Please, can you help me!

    I suggest you go to Apple's ID site, log in and update everything. Then you will surely get a confirmation mail.
    Once all is done, you will most probably be able to log in to the iTunes store again.

  • HT1386 I erased my hard drive and now my ipod touch and Itunes will not sync unless I erase my ipod.  How can I have transfer transfer the data on my ipod to my computer?

    I have a lot of music on my ipod that is not in Itune and I have songs in Itunes that are not on my Ipod.  What can I do to combine the two?  I do not want to erase my Ipod.  I have a lot of CDs that I put in Itunes and synced to my Ipod before I had to formatted my computer's hard drive.  It took hours to put my songs on the computer.  Once the hard drive was erased, I installed Itune and connected my Ipod.  Since I am using the same computer, why does Itune not recognize that my Ipod and computer are the same ones that are linked to my account?  What can I do to sync Itunes and my Ipod that does not require earasing my Ipod?

  • My iphone5 will not charge ! I bought a new charger recently after my old one stopped working, the guy said because the wire got scrunched but i had recieved it like that, and now even the new one won't charge properly.

    I recieved my iphone in October right after is what released. It worked beautifully until recently in earlier January I realized that my phone charger would only charge it in certain positions and it had to be held there. Then one day it stopped charging all together, I took the charger to the Sprint store and the guy explained that its because the charger got scrunched up to the top and I had to purchase a new one for $30. I have been using the charger for the past 2 weeks and it has been working fine. Now it won't charge unless I hold it in certain postions again!. I don't know if it's the phone or simply the chargers. My phone is in perfect condiiton, protected and all and so is the new charger.. someone give me advice please. I am so desperate ..

    This is the best picture I can take because I used photobooth on the mac book pro to take this and it automatically flashes, but if you can see that the area near where it goes into the phone is scrunched up. It keeps happening to me and I do not bring my phone charger anywhere.

  • Itunes will not open on win 7 pc after oct update?

    I am running a win7 pc-64bit os and itunes will not open since I updated it in Oct. I have attempted uninstalling and reinstalling the itunes s/w several times. I have tried without a firewall and with anti-virus programs disconnected. I do not get an error message. Itunes launches with a blank screen and the busy "spinner" spins until I reboot. Anybody with a similar problem or a solu

    I don't know if this will help you  but I just went through this. After three weeks of thinking it was my firewall and making all the adjustments suggested by apple, I discovered it was my Net Nanny software that was blocking my way. I had one character wrong in the accepted lists on websites and so it looked right to me when I checked. It wasn't until I completely uninstalled the software and reinstalled, and re-entered all my lists that I realized the error. Now it is working great. So you may want to check your list of approved websites VERY carefully or re-enter them on you firewall software or any content blocking software you may have.
    Hope that helps.
