Just purchased two new iphone4S. Went to back up two old iphone3Gs, one of them went into recovery mode and i lost all my information on it. I don't want to makie the same mistake on other phone. Please help
I just purchased to new iphone4s. I went home plugged old iphone 3Gs to back up to save my info to transfer to new iphone 4s. One of the 3Gs after it spent about 30 minutes in back up mode suddenly said it was unable to back up then i received a plug in to itunes message on it and the message I am receiving is to restore it to factory settings. So i basically lost all my information. I do not want to repeat this fiasco on my husbands phone which contains his business contacts etc. Please help!

Are you syncing anything (contact, calendars) with iCloud?

help? cause i'm pretty much gonna cry since i lost every thing since october and i had this less than a couple of hours ago?
Hi shelly92555,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on your current situation. If you are saying that you are unable to unlock the original iPhone due to a passcode issue, you may find the following article helpful:
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

my iPhone 4 appears with no service every day, i have to make restart and a few hours later again the same problem, Any other solution please???
This is almost always a symptom of a phone that was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it.
Where did you get the phone? -
just purchase a new iphone4; can't hear the ringer or dialtone. it only available to hear sounds thru the headphones??...help
Connect and disconnect the headphones a few times.
Clean the headphone port. Something as simple as a hair or cloth thread can cause problems. -
I have a 4S and just tried updating to the latest iOS version and my phone went into recovery mode and iTunes says I need to restore to factory settings. Anyone know how I can fix my phone without losing all my content?
You would only be able to restore to a backup to iCloud or iTunes:
Restore from Backup

My phone went into recovery mode and had to be factory restored, I hadnt backed it up to either the cloud or a computer in a long time and therefore I have lost all of my messages. Is there anyway to get the messages without a recent backup?

I have tried everything but I can't connect my iphone to my laptop. It says that apple mobile device failed to be installed. I have read everything on the internet and did everything but still am facing the same problem. Can you please help me.
Again without stating the trouble shooting steps you have taken, its hard to direct you with any information.
Try a different port on the computer.
Does the iphone beep when u plug it up. ?
Plug iphone into computer and give it 3 to 4 minutes to see if it connects and is running slow.,
Delete the apple mobile device from your computer.
Upgrade itunes to newest version.
Is you USB cord defective ?
Any USB 3.0 on your system ? .
Delete or Disable any antivirus program on your computer ?
I will tell u the problem is your computer not the phone.
We could do this for hours. -
WHEN I TURN MY IPHONE 3S ON IT ASKS ME TO CONNECT TO ITUNES AND RESTORE. I HAVE DONE THIS 10 TIMES AND STILL GET THE SAME SCREEN. CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP??
Has your phone been jailbroken? If so, you will likely never get it to work again.
You can try placing your phone in DFU mode (search google) and restoring. -

windows thinks my itouch is a camera and itunes says this ipod can't be used because the software isn't installed - reinstall itunes. i've done that and continue to get the same error. can someone please help?
(apologies for barging in, lllass.)
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now? -
I get en error message 42408. I have tried several times to activate my account but the same message keeps reappearing. Please help. I cant even sink my iPad or iPhone. Thanks
After searching, found a few answers and tried one last thing-- allowing Safari to accept Cookies. I never use Safari so never changed any settings in it ever. However, I guess an update along the way turned off cookies in it and that was the blockage. Once I allowed Safari to use cookies I was able to redeem the gift card. SO, glad this board is here for these types of questions!!!!

I have a spelling app that is stuck on the screen - it doesn't have any way to close it out, and when I split the screen and go to "Finder" to remove it, it says that it can't, because the program is still open. Please help.
Paul,
I'm sure this is the correct answer, but just switched to Apple, so am just an apple seed at this point! :~)
How do I get to the Apple Menu?
Thanks!
