?my iphone needs to restore but is locked out of itunes, help?
I can not restore it because itunes is requesting the phone be unlocked. I can not unlock the phone because the iphone only says plug into itunes... I can pull up am IMEI and ICCID or make an emergenC call thats it
You can put the iphone into recovery mode to restore it.
Disconnect the USB cable from your iPhone, but leave the other side connected to your Mac or PC
Launch iTunes.
Press and hold down the Home and Sleep/Power button on the top of the iPhone to turn off the iPhone.
Press and continue to hold the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to your iPhone, this will cause the iPhone to turn on.
Continue to hold the Home button until an alert message in iTunes informing you that an iPhone in recovery mode has been detected.

My IPhone need to restore, but I want to backup my data first.
Itunes keep telling me you must restore this iphone before it can be used. How I can backup my data?At this point it is too late. When you restore it will restore the backup made at the time of the last sync. And changes to the phone's content after that last sync will be lost.

IPhone needs to restored but I have important things on it.
I was doing the most recent update for my phone, and then it suddenly stopped and said my iPhone needed to be restored. I can't restore it because then I'll lose more than 2,000 photos and videos that are not on iTunes. Is there anything I can do?
This article will tell you where the backup file is stored, and detail the full process of performing a restore:

Have iphone 3g with 5.0 I downloaded 5.01 for phone and itunes latest download. Had errors on download and needed to restore. Everything came back except apps.
Pluged into itunes and it gave me the restore screen. restored again. Now when i plug into itunes it shows my phone but freezes up. I need to use task master to close itunes. Went to apple store tech. No help said to use Icloud but no WiFi is available. My wife's phone works fine with itunes.Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
If you have gone through ALL the above steps and are still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation. -

Need to restore but iPod not recognized in iTunes
I have the black iPod Classic 80GB for over two years and now it's getting some problems:
First, after it synced it would automatically eject, then go into "ejected charging mode" if I left it plugged in. I thought nothing of this, really.
Second, when plugged in the iPod screen goes to the one where it says, "Connected: Eject before disconnecting," but does not appear in my iTunes or in My Computer under my iPod's name and its drive.
I unplugged and rebooted my iPod since it froze, then plugged it back in, but it just did some cycle of the "Connected", "Ejecting", and "OK to disconnect" screens, but it never disconnected, but instead went back to "Connected", then repeats.
Now I plugged it in again and iTunes says it can't play the files on it, so I have to restore it. Problem is, it doesn't show up in my iTunes at all! However, it shows up in My Computer.
Help please?If you're under warranty, exchange it! I did this today after appt at store, delted all apps and reloaded, with the same result. Technician informed me that Classics (I have 120GB) have a firmware issue that cannot be updated externally, so they exchange them with a new one.

You need to do as provided. If no change after restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

Iphone need to restore almost every day
Hello,
I have an IPHONE 3GS which I purchased in Italy (open for all the networks).
About a week ago in the middle of the day the iphone suddenly had “no service” sign and I couldn’t get any calls. I tried to restart but it showed the screen “iphone need to restore” – I was than in version 3.1.2 .
Since then I tried to restored it for many times and upgrade to 4.1 firmware. Most of the times I get the restore error 1013. But a few times the restore succeeded and the iphone worked for half a day until it showed the “no service” sign again and I couldn’t use it.
Can anyone please advise me what to do? There is no apple service in my country.
Thanks,
AmirHi,
I read the message from the link you send,
On my iphone the IMEI sometimes is unknown and sometimes is 011983006774560 (not the default).
Now i cant even restore it because the i-tune display that there is no SIM card although there is.
What can it be?
Thanks,
Amir

How do you restore iphone 4S if you have been locked out?
How do you restore iphone 4S if you have been locked out?
I am totally stupid here, can anyone speak plain english??? It is not accepting the ONE PASSCODE that i created. This all happened after i upgraded to the fricken latest whatever they say we need to do. This is the first time in over a year of having this phone that this has happened.
I tried to follow posts and connected to my computer with i tunes. The computer did it's thing and i am still locked out. Other than throwing this fricken phone and getting an android, what do i do and please, i am not up to all your jargon so you have to really spell it out for me.
Thank you
Very frustrated and aggravated since i upgraded to that ios stuff, the phone was just fine before that. -
Want to restore computer using Time Machine, but am locked out of my accoun
Due to an apparently common problem with Snow Leopard, I restarted to find all users unavailable for login. The info is all still there, but I can not log in--have tried all solutions listed here. THing is:
Everything is backed up using Backup and Time Machine. Is there any way to bring my computer back with Time Machine WITHOUT logging in as my old user? Or do I have everything I need but am locked out of using it? Many thanks!Andre Greer wrote:

Yes. See #14 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
Also: can not seem to start up using my install CD (Leopard)
To restore a Snow Leopard backup, you must use a Snow Leopard Install disc.
and my partitioned drive is also Leopard, not Snow Leopard. Mysterious.
If in doubt, re-format it in step (c) of #14. -

They are likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup. -
My iphone4 has been stuck on the connect to itunes logo for a few hours. I connected it to itunes and it says that the iphone is on recovery mode and that I need to restore it to use it with itunes. I'm afraid that if I restore it I will loose everything help please!!
AT this point whatever data you have on yoru phone is already gone since it is in recovery mode.
However you can restore from your backup, when your phone reboots from recovery.
YOu do have a backup right? -

I have just overwritten important data, i.e. the names of those who completed the forms. I need to restore but wasn't able to 'undo'. Please help
Hi,
Unfortunately, it is not possible to retrieve the deleted data. If you have made the changes to the response and closed the response window; new data must have been saved automatically. In future, if you accidentally overwrite any data; please press ctrl+z to undo the change.
