Made mistake and restored rather than synched, but got restore error.

Help, my wife is going to kill me!
I purchased two 3G's this morning and while attempting to sync one of the phones and move info from an old iPhone to the new, ran into a problem.
My first operation went ok, (see my other post Transferring EVERYTHING from iPhone to 3G iPhone). I noticed items such as Notes and text messages did not transfer with the sync.
So....when I went to do the same for my wife's phone I tried something different. (I recalled that when I locked my old iPhone and couldn't recall the password I had to restore it. Upon doing so I found that all my old text messages came back.) I had synced the phone for contacts, music etc but before disconnecting the 3G decided to restore.
Bad Idea apparently. The restore stopped midstream and I received a message stating "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (2005)." Strangely the iPhone was labeled "Julie's iPhone" at the Apple Store this morning rather than simply "iPhone" as the error message showed.
All could do was click the OK button, at which point the display on the 3G showed an iTunes icon with a cable below it, apparently asking that I plug the phone into the computer to connect with iTunes. The phone already was connected. In addition the iPhone, called "Julie's iPhone" was no longer showing in iTunes.
I've tried powering off the phone, restarting the computer and now the summary on the phone as simply "iPhone" and all other information such as serial number, size of phone etc as "n/a". A subsequent attempt to restore yielded the same error message.

After talking to Apple Care it was determined the phone was stuck in recovery. A second attempt to restore worked.

  • Is there anyway to archive old queries and workbooks rather than deleting?

    Our environment has thousands of old queries and workbooks.  We plan to delete any object that has not been used within 13 months, but there's a concern we may someday need a few of the reports that will be deleted.
    Is there a way to archive old queries and workbooks rather than deleting them?
    Is there another approach to solving this matter?
    Thanks!

    Jim 
    This is really a intersting question as this is a reality as many BW reports are not used/accessed by users but still they have tendancies of sitting on these reports.
      I wanted to suggest to carry-out report usabilty analys. This analysis u can carry out by using BW statistics/standerd queries/new queries in technical cubes showing usability data. If u found that a perticalar BW report is not been used for long time, u can discuss the usability of this report with the report user ( as it is a normal practice of owning BW report by user/user group across industry ), if user is no longer uses it Or do not need it any more, it will be better to delete those reports, this will free up some resources and will reduce the junk. ( if user wants these queries ask him to use it or it will better to personalise report in his desktop easing him to see those reports. )
    Changing the technical names of the query as suggested by Bhanu will have follwing effects.
    1. It will add more reports in repository leading to junk
    2. Old queries still be assigned to user roles, so collide with user authorisation.
    hope views are clear, others are welcome to add or share their experince in this regard.
    kindly assign the points if it helps.

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

  • HT1657 i rented a move from iTunes...i was on a plane and tried to watch it, but got a message that there was a problem in accessing the iTunes store.  i had a wifi connection, but had to buy internet access to watch the movie.  is this normal?

    i rented a movie from itunes.  i was on a plane when i tried to access it...but got an error message saying "cannot access itunes store".  i had a wifi connection but had to purchase internet to watch the movie on the plane.  never had this problem with my ipad and never have it when i download tv shows.  what's the deal with movies?

    It's not normal, presuming that the movie downloaded completely, but it has come up from time to time. I've not been able to figure out from the various posts why rentals work for most but in some cases insist on a connection to the iTunes store. Go here:
    http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    to report the issue to the iTunes Store. Perhaps they can provide an explanation, though you may just get canned and rather inapplicable replies about how to rent or download.

    I am trying to restore my iphone 4s, but encountered 3194 error code.  Would appreciate any suggestions.

    Possibly something is blocking Apple through iTunes from approving your iPhone Restore. Sometimes this is due to your computer Hosts File redirecting your request away from Apple. Seach your computer for Hosts, open this file with Word Processor program. If there is any reference to gs.apple.com this is the problem. This name and the number with it needs to be removed.
