Please help me with restoring my iphone 4!!!!
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP! I just updated my iPhone to ios5 and when i try to restore everything it says itunes could not restore the iphone because the iphone refused the request...please help me:(
Did it backup prior to the upgrade attempt? Also, what does the screen of the phone look like? does it have a picture of the cable like it wants you to plug it in or what?
Two things I'm going to suggest first. 1: reboot your Windows computer. 2: do a fresh install of iTunes. I've been reading all sorts of things tonight about people having luck after doing a new install of iTunes. Hopefully you still have the installer for iTunes becuase Apple's downloads are *slow* right now (still trying to get the iOS update myself and it says 12 hours left after downloading for more than 2 hours). If you updated iTunes from the Apple Software Update program on Windows you will still have it. In that program there is a Tools menu I believe and you should be able to have it show you where it downloaded the files.
After that install reboot again just to make sure. For some reason on Windows the USB programs that Apple uses can get a bit goofy.
I would then suggest plugging in the iphone. I suspect it will ask to restore.

Please help - need to restore my iPhone
When plugging my iPhone into computer for the first time, I accidentally restored my iPhone with my fiance's for the backup. I freaked out and unplugged it halfway through the restoration. Now I have half of his settings/apps/contact info. and half of mine. I lost a lot of important contacts and notes. Please help - how do I restore my phone back to MY settings?
Ekk, if you told it to restore his backup it would more than likely replace your information with his... Since this is your first time syncing your phone it likely hadn't made a backup of your device. You can check by opening iTunes, go to "Edit", "Preferences", click the "Devices" tab and see what's in there for backups.
If there is nothing in there for you phone, there isn't really many other options to get those contacts back unless they are still on your computer or old phone somewhere.
Out of suggestions you can do a few things to prevent this happening in the future, like setting up a seperate user account in Mac OS X/ Windows and syncing there or setting up some kind of automated sync like Goggle sync http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252 or Apple iCloud which will come out later this year.
Sorry to hear, hope you have another copy around. -

Try popping out the SIM card and turn off the phone.

These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service. -

Emergency! Please Help. I have an iPhone 4 with all my pictures from the vacation on it and I plugged into my computer and it sync'ed to my ipod. all of my pictures are gone. How do I get my pictures back?
If all you did was sync your phone, and if you haven't synced again since this happened, you can restore your phone from the backup that was created at the beginning of the sync process (camera roll photos are included in the backup). If you have synced again since this happened this backup has already been overwritten and your photos are lost. Also, if you restored your phone from the backup of your iPod, rather than just synced, then your photos are lost too.
If you have an intact backup that contains these photos, do the following:
Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences. On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing. -

I am using iphone 4..32 gb...i hav updated to ios6..i am experiencing serious lags...watever m doin d phone lags n goes to the home screen...frequency is much greater..please help me with it...i even replaced my device but same problem on new one..!!!!Restore the phone as a new device. There is probably something that was corrupted on your phone during the update and has been passed via the backup to the replacement phone. If the corruption/problem is contained in the backup, you'll need to re-sync your data, and re-install your apps manually. Restoring the backup again will only bring the problem back with it.
If restoring it as new does not fix it, then make an appointment at the genius bar. -
