My iphone just locked, iTunes says I need to restore. This means erasing everything. PLEASE HELP!
My phone is locked and I need to use it!
I was trying to back up everything on my phone, with iTunes. Now it's locked and says:
iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.
But restoring will delete everything, and I don't think I have it all backed up....which is why I was trying to back it up.
Please help!
When I unplug the phone from my laptop, the screen tells me to connect to iTunes. Then I connect to the computer, and it tells me I need to restore the phone. What is going on!?!?
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

If necessary Place the Device into Recovery mode...

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

Okay.
Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

Itunes says I need to restore ipon settings, but it doesn't work
Hi, I would really appreciate your help.
I connected my ipod to my Windows as usual and itunes told me "itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be ued with itunes. I did that but nothing happened. itunes displayed the same message again. I restored it again. Nothing. In the meantime, my ipod was absolutely fine. Restoring it wiped out everything of course. I then connected my ipod to my Mac at home. No problems at all! I synced it with Mac without a problem. However, most of my songs areon Windows at work so I need to get to them. Even after Mac's itunes, Windows itunes on my computer still says restore etc. What do I do?Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive -

I have the new iPhone 5 with the latest software, and iTunes latest version.
When I try to backup my phone via iTunes, the backup starts, and the progress bar begins to move and then gets stuck at the end. I have waited a long time but it doesn't go any further. I then have to skip the backup in order to Synch.
On iTunes, it says the latest backup is: Unknown. I only have a backup of my last phone before I changed the handset. Very annoying!
I have repeatedly tried to backup and sometimes the progress bar gets almost to the end, but no, it stops. Very frustrating.
The phone synchs OK, but have to skip/cancel backup in order to get to the synch phase.
I tried to restore the phone and start again (restored to the previous backup some time ago, before the new handset) but no, doesn't work.
Please help!

My phone is locked and says it needs to restore to itunes
I went to download new photos to my computer and also downloaded a new version of itunes. It then showed a picture on my screen with the powercord attaching to itunes. It said on the computer that my phone needs to be restored?!!! But I will lose all my photos! Help
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Hey guys,
So I am a long time iPhone user and I just recently acquired a new job and a couple things had to change. First was the fact that I had to upgrade my minute plan from 450/mo. to 3000/mo. That's all well and good, but the real trick came when I had to add a USB Connect 881 so I could travel wirelessly with my laptop...
I was told by a representative at my local AT&T Store that in order to add the USBConnect 881 device to my plan that I had to switch to a family plan with two lines (One for the iPhone and one for the USBConnect 881). On top of the $60/mo. data fee. So that's just it. I thought for sure that whenever I wanted to add a device like this to my plan that it would be a simple $60 more dollars to my plan. Why on earth do I need to upgrade my minute plan in order to use a data only device...
Being that my company supports Verizon for their carrier, I walked over to my Verizon store and asked them how much it would be per month to use their USB wireless card and per month it would be $60 no minute plan deal. So ya, why the **** am I paying more through my own carrier which I've had for 4 years for the exact same 5Gb/mo. service...
So any advice and comments would be very much appreciated. I'm not getting straight answers with AT&T. Thanks for your time and help.I don't think you will get any answers here. You need to call and speak to a manager at AT&T or go back to the store and speak to a manager.
Your post is a little confusing, you say you had to upgrade to a 3000/mo. plan for your work and to add the $60 per month broadband plan. So what is the problem? -
Any way to lock the size of that window? This is a serious, please, help
Camera raw 6.0.0.205, that's what came with CS5. Sorry about getting back to this uninteresting subject, I thougth it was small stuff and it's not.
So every time I open a raw file, I have to play with the bottom right corner, especially to bring up the bottom, which is covering the access "link".
Also the cancel and done button are covered, I do manage to reduce it, I suppose I have to get use to it, but for now, every time I open a file, believe me, it drives me crazy!
The previous version had a nice size, sitting just above the dock. Does it have to do with my new smaller screen, 13"?By doing that, when being in Photoshop in the top bar, from View in the top menu I am getting zoom in, zoom out, fit on screen and actual pixels. All of them work on the image only and not on the total window, and F from the keyboard doesn't work. The interesting thing is that I got it, yes, a nice window with the bottom information sitting on top of the dock, and the tragic is that I can't replicate it, I just touched something in the top left area of the screen.
I can't post a screen shot of the succesful widow because I went back to View>fit on screen to verify if I got it from there, and I lost it.
All I can tell you is that I pressed something at the top left of the screen, but it's not the hand, because it doesn't work, so there is actually a better way then going crazy with the bottom right corner. Thank you anyway.
I hope at least it's getting more interesting! -
Any solutions would be helpful. I have tried looking in preferences, but to no avail.
Hi,
It is no good smiling sweetly as I have children and it odes not work
To explain further.
I answer the alerts first, that I get for "New Posts" in threads I have contributed to.
Then I read my other email.
Then I come back to the boards to read the oldest Unread thread first.
Not linking to the Thread to highlight there is one whilst emailing me is a bit like queue jumping.
As you can see I do read everything eventually during each evening I spend here.
I will keep to the email and only post here if I find the answer. The answer should be shared.
Speak soon.

I just bought iphone 5 and my itunes says I need itunes 10.7 But when I look for upgrades it says I have the current version of itunes. HELP!

Yes, I see that I can get the later version of OS software, but its not availabe for immediate download. My only options appear to be having it shipped, or going to the store to purchase. And if you know of another way that I can access all of my itunes library music on my new phone withouth using itunes, I would love to hear about it.--thanks and again i am so sorry for frustrating you.
