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

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!

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.

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?

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.

When I was talking on phone, suddenly the phone was switched off. i tried to switch it on but it gave the message....connect to itunes for set up. when I connected it to itunes...it gave the message, itunes can not read data from this iphone, restore it

when I was talking on phone, suddenly the phone was switched off.
i tried to switch it on but it gave the message....connect to itunes for set up.
when I connected it to itunes...it gave the message, itunes can not read data from this iphone, restore it to factory settings. It also said while restoring ypu will lose all media data but you can restore the contacts.
I restored the factory settings....the phone was on recovery mode...it was verified by itunes and all that..but in the end it again said that iphone has some problem and can not function right now.
after that when ever i connect it with itunes, it gives the message, it can not activate the iphone further, try again later or contact customer service.
What to do now?????? Customer service people say..it is hardware problem

If it's a hardware problem, then the phone will need to be replaced.
There is no magic that can fix a hardware problem.

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.

I am unable to upload Quicktime movies made with imovie to the web. I've tried using Filezilla (which worked well until recently) or even going directly to the webhost via Cox. The upload gets caught in a loop. nojo99

I am unable to upload Quicktime movies made with imovie to the web. I've tried using Filezilla (which worked well until recently) or even going directly to the webhost via Cox (my internet provider). The upload always gets caught in a loop. I have repaired permissions. I've been successfully uploading movies each week to my church website (or intermediary like Filezilla) for over a year. I cannot figure out why I'm no longer successful. Your feedback is desired and welcome. nojo99

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

HT203167 Lost App after iPhone restore. Who do I get the app back?

I bought iNet - Network Scanner and after a iPhone restore I can only get the free version back on my phone.
How do I download the app I have already paid for? Should I lose an app because I need to restore I don't think so, this is completely wrong. I paid for this app and would like to be using it still. I have always backed up me iPhone and also restored it and still don't have the full functioanlity of this app, there maybe others. If I have to pay for it again then these companies are getting money for nothing which is the same as stealing from there own customers.
If anyone has any idea how to download this I would like to hear about it. I have of course tried using the Purchased link in iTunes Store but this doesn't help.

" Should I lose an app because I need to restore I don't think so,"
It has always been very basic to ALWAYS backup your content. Did you fail to do the basics and backup your purchases.
You can redownload apps, if they are still available in the app store: See this:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Hi Bobi1346,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities and for including the error number you are getting.
There's an article for troubleshooting that error.
iOS: Restore errors 4005, 4013, and 4014
Try these steps to resolve the issue:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Restart your computer.
Make sure your computer is up to date. If an update requires a restart, check for updates again after you restart.
Learn more about updating OS X.
Learn more about updating Windows.
Restore using another USB cable.
Restore your device on another computer.
If you continue to see error 4005, 4013, or 4014 when you restore your device, contact Apple for support.
Take care,
Nubz

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!

You may have a firmware password. The prevents booting from a cd.
Maybe your are getting the firmware password? Do you see this image?

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.
