My phone is stuck in the 'Restore Needed' mode. Can use some help?
Its been doing this a couple days now. But this time im totally dumbfounded. Its stuck with that little message and a usb plug graphic in the background. Im stuck.
There is no way out.
Restart the restore procedure and make sure you are connected to the wall power adapter and have Internet connection.
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
At the end it will ask whether you want to restore, choose iCloud backup.

iOS 5.1 also bricked her iPod Touch, despite my having no problem updating mine.
I thought that I had bricked my phone as well when I upgraded my iPhone 4s to iOS 5.1 but I just fixed it last night after 3 hours of trying everything. My phone was stuck in recovery mode and had the icon telling me to plug it into iTunes, but iTunes didn't recognize my phone at all. I tried everything from uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, but still nothing worked. I tried changing the USB port that I plugged my iPhone into and THAT is what worked. I have no idea why, but my computer finally recognized my phone, but had to be restored. Luckily I had a very recent backup so restoring it wasn't so painful.
Try changing the USB port where you plug in your phone on your computer; hopefully that works for you! -
Just got a new iMac. For the first few days, I was able to log in to, then access the window in Fatcow web host that allows me to make changes to my website. Now, the window that is supposed to say "Domain Name" and "Edit" and "Modify" is blank, so I cannot access my website to make changes. Firefox is the only browser available to Macs through Fatcow. In the two weeks before getting the iMac, I had the same problem on an Acer laptop. Hughesnet is our internet provider, since we live in the country. I have worked with several Fatcow techs, and they do not believe the problem is on their end. When I open Firefox, there is now also a message that says I'm missing plugins, yet when I follow the plugin link, no plugins are listed as missing. I have removed/reinstalled Firefox, to no avail. I have turned off the clear-cookies-automatically add-on, cleared the cache and history, etc., to no avail. I have printed out the HTML script for the Fatcow window from my Mac at work (from which I can access the window) and compared to the one at home. There doesn't appear to be any script missing, but I can't say for sure. I have read several articles, hoping for clues to fixing this problem. Now I need your technical expertise. HELP!
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

I have an I phone 3G -what is the latest software I can use ,which is still workable?
I have an I phone 3 G - what is the last software version still workbale to use on it?
You would definitely want to get more RAM as you only have 2 GB - although that is stated as a minimum for Yosemite, the reality is that you want at least 4 GB or you won't be happy with its performance. If this is yours:

you could either get 2 x 2 GB RAM or 1 X 2 GB plus 1 x 4 GB:

I'am stuck in the brand new mode after trying to restore it, what do i do?
I deleted my photos and i cloud backed up before i did it. I was going to restore it then transfer my items back into my phone when my computer mest up. Now my iphone is stuck in the brand new mode, can anyone help?
When you're at the activation screen, you can choose to not restore from anything, or restore from iTunes/iCloud. Don't select iTunes or iCloud when you get to that screen, just keep setting it up as a new phone. If your information is erased, then restore it from whichever method you want.

My phone (5C) is stuck in the restore mode which is preventing a backup which is preventing installation of IOS 8.1. Need help.
Hi Petesmith643,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like your device is in recovery mode. I understand you would like to back it up before updating to iOS 8.1 but cannot because you are in recovery mode. I would first suggest restarting your device to exit recovery mode.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Cheers,

My ios update keeps getting stuck on the Restoring iPhone software stage. I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it again, but still nothing. Now I can't even use my phone as it shows the plug into iTunes screen. Please help!!!! Thanks,
A Restore first downloads a new copy of iOS to your computer. On a slow Internet connection this can take a long time. How fast is your connection? How long would you expect it to take to download 900 MB?
That's assuming nothing is interfering with the download. Some firewalls and antivirus programs will block the download or slow it down. So you should temporarily disable your security software. Security software can also block the update after the iOS download is complete. -

OS 8.0 update OTA to my 4S has killed the device. After the initial attempt failed I tried via iTune Restore and got Error 29.
Attempts to restore to an older version (7.1.2) failed as well. Same error.
The phone is stuck in the familiar "connect to iTunes" screen.
Has iOS8 destroyed my phone?Hi vijay294,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you received a restore error while attempting to update to iOS 8 and now you see the Connect to iTunes graphic on your display. In this situation, I would recommend using recovery mode to restore your iPhone. Please use the instructions located in the attached article to complete this process.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

my phone is stuck in the activition part bc one of my friends give this iphone and he for got everything to it so can u plz help me
Apple has a D.O.A period. If something breaks within 14 days of purchase, it can be swapped for new.
So if it failed within 2 days of purchase, you should have had it swapped for a new one.
I would consider going to an Apple store instead, or contacting Apple online. -
everything updated and works fine in itunes. Slide the hello screen, Pick a language, country and connect to wifi. then it asks to setup phone again. repeat the "restore from itunes backup" which it does and eveything repeats.
Yes, if you choose to set up as a new phone, you will be able to restore from a backup later.

My phone is stuck on the connect to itunes screen when i started to update it and when i connect it to itunes nothing happens. What do i do to fix it ?
Hold down the Home and Power button to shut off the iPhone. Keep it disconnected from the computer. Then, hold down the Home for 20 seconds. Connect it to the computer while continuing to hold down the Home button. Wait for iTunes to say your iPhone is in Recovery mode. Then, restore.
