My iPhone is caught in a loop.

It won't switch on and iTunes won't recognise it.  It happened when trying to download iOS 5. 3004 error then it failed.  I had tried a few times to get the new iOS.  I decided one last try and that's when it failed.  It wouldn't let me restore the phone, it only wanted upload the new software. And then it seemed to have  fatal error and nothing works!

After 10 loops its finally letting me restore from a back up. Hope I didn't waste anyones time

  • My Iphone restore caught in a loop

    Hi Guys,
    I was having problems with my Iphone 4S so decided to retore it.
    I seem to be now caught in a loop.
    The phone restores then says update or restore.
    No matter which option I choose it brings me through the same loop again.
    I'm not getting an option to restore from a saved profile.
    Please help as I need to receive some important calls.
    Many Thanks,
    Cass

  • Hello. I have updated my iphone 4 to ios7 after doing a backup to itunes. I am caught in a loop of being asked to 'restore from backup' as part of setup and that restore failing because the phone already has it's content I believe. Please help if you can.

    Hi. I have an iphone 4 that I have just installed ios7 onto. I had backed up the phone prior.
    After the software install the phone rebooted and showed the 'Hello' setup. I am stuck because as part of the setup it asks me to 'restore from backup via itunes". I dont understand why i need to do this as I thought the ios7 install procedure would restore the phone with it's content.
    I tried to restore from backup but it says I cant because there is not enough space on the phone. If I connect the phone to itunes, it shows that the phone has all my content, especially since iphoto launches and I can see all the photos it wants to download to iphoto off the phone.
    I am caught in a loop. My phone has it's content, but the startup procedure on the phone will not let me progress until I have restored from backup via itunes. But it cant because the phone has no space!!
    The only other option it gives is 'Set up as new phone".
    Can anyone help please. Thanks.

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • When Syncing top of screen freezes and gets caught in a loop

    I have a PowerBook G4. I just installed the new Leopard. Ran all the available updates and so far there are a few bugs that I can't fix. I need some help please.
    1. When syncing to mobileMe, the computer gets caught in a loop and the round arrows at the top right of the screen never stops spinning. Also, when you bring the pointer to the top of the page, it seems frozen and the wheel starts. The time has also frozen.
    2. When syncing to iTunes with my iPhone, it also gets stuck in a loop.
    I'm assuming that there is something going on with MobileMe or with syncing. I can't find anything on this. Can anyone shed some light.

    Would like to add one more thing. When I try to repair permissions it also goes in a loop and never repairs anything. I'm stumped on this.

  • I clicked on Firefox's "save password" on a blogsite, now I can't "comment" on that site, I'm caught in a loop, keep getting logged out of that site when I try to comment, but not a problem when I try Explorer.

    When I navigate to the page to view comments and leave a comment myself, the comments appear but the link to leave a comment is missing, and my username and password is pre-populated in those fields (presumable by the Firefox "save password" program)on that "comment" page. When I click "submit" to log in again, I am logged in but redirected back to the front page. When I click on the page that allows me to leave a comment, I get kicked out again. I'm caught in a loop.
    I do not have this problem when I exit Firefox and open Internet Explorer and go to that blog site, although the username and password fields are automatically populated when I type the first digit of my username, probably because Firefox is still operating in the background on my computer.
    I tried clearing two hours of recent history, as that was the timeline when I clicked on "Save Password" from the pop up box, but it didn't help.

  • Caught in a loop of Apple ID dialog boxes!

    I'm trying to buy stuff on the iTunes store and I get caught in a loop of dialog boxes asking me for my Apple ID. I enter my Apple ID, but it just results in a new dialog box. The sequence of dialog boxes was the following:
    - Sign in to the iTunes store.
    - iCloud session has expired. Please sign in.
    - Sign in to the iTunes store.
    - Verification is required. Click ok, then verify payment information.
    - iCloud session has expired.
    - Sign in to view billing information.
    - Sign in to the iTunes store.
    - Verification is required. Click ok, then verify payment information.
    - Sign in to the iTunes store.
    - Sign in the view billing information.
    - iCloud session has expired.
    etc. etc. etc.
    How do I fix this? Help would be appreciated. Thanks very much.
    Nick.

    Hello Albini11,
    It may help to sign out of the iTunes Store, then sign back in.
    In iTunes, choose Store > Sign In (or Sign Out).
    Sign in or out of the iTunes Store

  • Before I dispose of my imac caught in password loop

    Before I dipose of my imac I'm trying to uninstall 10.4 to erase my data (I have the install disk in the computer) but I'm caught in password loop. I am hoping that when I restart while pressing the "C" key that I will be offered an option to uninstall but instead I am asking to enter my password. When I enter it the computer restarts and takes me straight back to the password prompt again. I hope that someone can help!

  • Just downloaded iOS6. My iPhone is in an endless loop switching from Apple logo to sign in screen. What do I do?

    Just downloaded iOS6. My iPhone is in an endless loop switching from Apple logo to sign in screen. What do I do?

    The simplest way to exit out of DFU mode is to hold down the Home and sleep/power buttons on the iPhone while connected to iTunes. Then just hit the power button as and this should reboot the device as usual.

  • My iPhone 5s suddenly has boot loop and shows blue screen.

    My iPhone 5s suddenly has boot loop and shows blue screen. I tried to restore it with iTunes but it says that I have to enter my password on my phone first, which I can't technically do. What to do?
    Also, I've read that I could get a replacement phone from apple but it was bought for me in CA, and I'm in the Philippines. Can I get a replacement still?

  • How can i restore an iPhone 5 from Recovery Mode loop with broken lock/sleep button?

    Hello,
    I just tried to delete all my data from my iPhone 5 32gb iOS 7.0.4 (with not working lock/sleep button) to install iOS 8.0.2 and after that the loading bar appeared on the screen. When it finished, the iPhone rebooted and went into Recovery Mode loop and it is still in it (after 3 hours +). Also, iTunes doesn't detect the iPhone at all.
    I hope, the solution will be found, thanks.

    Any suggestions?

  • IPhone 5S Blue Screen Boot Loop iOS 8

    Hi all
    I've had my 32GB iPhone 5S for 5 months now. I installed iOS 8 when it came out, and have had no issues up until today.
    Today while using my device, all of a sudden the screen went blue, turned off, and re-booted with the Apple logo. Was weird, but it was working again after.
    About 20 minutes later, all **** broke loose. Now the phone is continuously looping from the Apple logo to the blue screen. I've tried plugging the phone into my MacBook but iTunes won't recognise it unless it's in DFU mode, in which I have tried restoring the phone through that and iTunes, only resulting in wasting about 10 minutes of the software loading onto the iPhone, then the blue-screen occurring and "Error 9" appearing on iTunes.
    The other issue is as of last Sunday, I now live in Singapore. I normally would take my phone down to my local Apple store in Melbourne to get it replaced.
    The phone has never been opened, repaired, etc. I had my original 5S replaced about 2-3 weeks ago by Apple Chadstone due to the screen clicking issue.
    Any ideas/tips/advice? This is doing my head in.

    Hi K.Dandr,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the scope of the issues you are describing. If you are having multiple issues after updating to iOS 8, and the issues returned a couple days after a restore of the OS and your apps/data, you may want to make sure you have a current backup of your data in iTunes, then try restoring your iPhone to factory settings and testing it in that default condition to see if the issues persist before restoring your data. You may find the following article helpful:

  • After updating to iOS 8.0.2 my iPhone is stuck in a loop of showing me the loading apple logo for about a minute, then the screen goes blue and the process starts over.

    I can turn the iPhone off by holding down the power button and releasing when i see the blue screen. I have tried to restore the iPhone in iTunes by putting it into recovery mode, but after about 10-20 minutes of it restoring the iPhone suddenly looses connection with the computer and goes back into the loop process. What should i do?
