Problem restoring

I recently had my Ipod sent in and fixed and about a day later it was stolen with my music video but I had no apps installed yet. I contacted the police and it was returned to me after getting the theif, but it was jailbroken. I know apple doesn't help with that but in my case I did not do it. After seeing if my stuff was there I found my movies gone all my music was there but apps I had never bought before there. I tried to reset the Ipod like I normaly do so I could get rid of all of it and just sync with itunes and be fine it never happened. How I do that is go to your ipod>settings>general>reset>erase all data and what not and usually it will resest need to be plugged in to itunes but not this time it turned off then back on and started spurting out code till it said error , no successful firmware download after 60000 ms!! Giving up... I have been leaving it out to see if it fix it'sself but all it has done is restart the same thing again and I don't know what to do. Please Help!!!???

When you went to the police about your iPod, you should have had to file a report about it being stolen. If that's the case, you can take your report with you to Apple and see if they can do a repair on it, since it is proof that your iPod was stolen and you did not jailbreak it. Otherwise, you're really gonna have to get technical on getting the entire system restored, since whoever had it completely damaged the OS.

  • I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud.  I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server".  Pics and videos have been deleted too.

    I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud.  When I restored my phone from icloud, half of my pics and videos have been deleted, the pics that were restored on my phone are very blurry, and the videos won't play.  I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server".  I have erased and reset my phone twice, but every time I do it, more pics and videos are deleted.  I have backed up to icloud and iphoto, however, some of the pics are no longer on iphoto either.  Is there someway to get the videos to play on my phone again?  Make the photos not as blurry as they are now and to restore the pics and videos that have been lost?  I really would love to have them back, this phone is supposed to be the best and right now it doesn't seem to be.  Please help if you can.

    I too have noticed that once i restored from iCloud. Pictures blurry and videos wont play!
    Need help too!!

  • I'm waiting for my new iPhone 5s to be delivered. I lost my iPhone 5 but did have it backed up on my MacBook Pro. I was using iOS6 at the time. Will I have a problem restoring the data to my new iPhone 5s assuming it will come with iOS7?

    No, you should not.  There are problems trying to go the other way, but updating a newer iOS release from a backup of an older iOS release has always been supported and is the basic means of setting up a new device from a previous one.

  • Problem restoring source system connection post BW system copy

    Hi.
    I am having problems restoring the R/3 connection in our BW system.
    This is the scenario.
    We need to move our BW production system onto a new system, but keep both BW connected to R/3 production for testing etc until cutover to our new BW system.
    Basis performed a system copy and restore of BW production to the new system and ran BDLS.
    When I try to restore the R/3 connection via RSA1 I am getting the following error at the end-
    "A connection already exists there ......." and the message refers to our current/live BW system. The options are to delete the existing or not delete. I have only chosen "do not delete" and therefore the connection is not restored. My concern is that if I choose "delete" this will damage my existing connection between R/3 and the currently live BW system which is we cannot afford to do.
    In our newly copied BW system we are using the existing R/3 SM59 (from system copy), and in R/3 we have created a new SM59 for our new BW system.
    It seems from the error message information that is complains that BW sent R/3 some sort of ID (value = "WS") and that is already taken by the existing BW system. I tried to find where and what this WS value is referring to and the only thing I have found is that in table RSBASISIDOC "WS" is the suffix for transfer structure for that R/3 system. ??? Not sure if this is related for what.
    Thanks for any help

    Hi ,
    Please check with basis or if you can ,then try to restore the source system in BI/BW.This should correct the  inconsistencies between the two systems which is being caused by different Idoc types
    Also check the table RSBASIDOC in the BI system and compare this to R/3 system ,the "basic type" field should be same.
    A restore should work,it has always worked for me.

  • Anybody have problems restoring Iphone 4 for verizon after replacing the LCD

    anybody have problems restoring Iphone 4 for verizon after replacing the LCD

    i didnt replace the screen on my verizon iphone, but i have had several problems in the past with restoring, however they are always easily solved for me by plugging into another computer and restoring from there once its restored off that computer you can then plug back into your computer and put your info back on.
    also remember to copy the ipsw from your iphone software updates folder onto a flash drive and onto the computer you are using to update to save yourself form downloading the ipsw on that computer (if it is not already on that computer). then just do an option restore by holding option key when you hit restore and select the ipsw you want to restore to.
    hope this helps

  • Finder icon stuck in constant motion- says it had a problem restoring window. It's unresponsive. I did download turbo tax yesterday- it all seemed to download fine.

    my mac mini finder icon keeps flashing a sign that said it had a problem restoring a window. It asks me if I want it to restore window, but it is unresponsive. My computer seems to be working fine when I go on to safari, but my desktop itself will not respond to any requests because the finder has taken over.  I did download turbotax application yesterday... it seemed to go just fine. This might be the first time I have restarted my computer since then, though. Could the turbo have created this mess? My mini is10.7.5 intel  2.3 Ghz  so the turbo tax should have been ok.  The only other thing I did wierd was when I started up my computer this morning I sort of started iPhoto at the same time that I started its backup program so the two collided. Could that have caused this finder issue?

    BD,   I am unable to find the files you suggested I move to the desk top.
    When I ran the SAFE BOOT the other day, and also ran repair permissions,  I dont think it stayed in SAFE BOOT. I found no access to utilities when I was in safe boot - either I can't figure it out, or the machine wasn't letting me proceed due to the finder- I don't know which. 
    Today,As I was looking for the files you suggested I move (user/your user.......) to desk top, I did copy a few of the messages the mac was sending through utilities and console. I don't know if anything here helps, but I am copying a few clips below for you;  it may be all Greek to you too, however. Thank you.

  • Problems Restoring From Disc Image

    Hello Support Community
    I'm attempting to replace a suspected failing HD on my G5.  I made a disc image of the suspected drive in disc untility, and have it on an external drive.  I purchased a 500GB WD Cavier Black HD for my new drive.  I removed the old drive, and put the new one in.  I noticed on the old drive that there was a jumper installed all the way to the right when the drive is installed in the machine.  I tried restoring with the jumper installed, and without.  I had better luck with the jumper installed.  I got an error that said device does not support this action when I tried to restore to the new drive without the jumper installed.  Now, without the jumper installed, when I go to restore from my disc image, I get a Restore Failure error saying "An error (2) occurred while copying.  (No such file or directory)"  Once I click ok, and try it again, I now get a message that says "An error (16) occurred while copying.  (Resource Busy)" 
    Any ideas what my problem would be at this point?  It seems as though my .dmg is functioning just fine.  It mounts, and looks to have all contents of my old boot drive.  The new drive is able to be formatted just fine.  Did I buy the wrong tupe of drive?  Is it too new?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Dave

    Hello,
    I think you might need a Jumper on pins 5&6 to slow the drive to G5 SATA 1 speeds...

  • I am having major problems restoring from Time Machine. The computer tells me I have completely restored but no data is available in the various applications.

    I had backed up all my data to Time Machine, then securely deleted all data on my MacBook Pro and reinstalled Snow Leopard, prior to having Apple replace a faulty Airport card. I went through the normal restoration process from Time Machine, which took quite some time (about 2.5 hours for 240 Gb of data, including applications) without giving any indication of a problem. However, although the computer indicates that 240 Gb has been reinstalled on the hard drive, data such as photos, music, documents, IOS apps, movies, etc , is not showing up in the relevent application i.e. photos in iPhoto or mobile apps in iTunes. Even though application icons were visible in the dock, they would not open. I spent two days (one hour one day and five hours the next) at the Apple Genius Bar trying to find out what the problem was, without any success. No matter what was tried, no clear solution was evident so I was given a manual workaround to bring back banks of files one at a time, which has given me some workability. All data is obviously stored on the external hard drive, but restoration has not been successful. I have successfully used Time Machine to restore all data from a previous MacBook to my current MacBook Pro without any hitches whatsoever. The only difference this time is that I have two separate accounts on the Pro, which may be causing the problem. I can restore items manually from either account but they all go into one account. Also, when manually restoring photos or music from Time Machine, I am unable to select the relevent location for this data, i.e. iPhoto or iTunes. The only way I got these into the relevent application was by putting them into a burn folder or onto a thumb drive and then dragging them into the dock application. I am not very computer savvy and feel totally out of my depth to manually restore everything back to where it was before the clean install, particularly the two user accounts, which I would loke to have back again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Problem restoring LMS 2.6 data to LMS 4.0

    Hello,
    I'm trying to migrate from LMS 2.6 on a Windows 2003 server to LMS 4.0 on Windows 2008 R2.
    Two things I'll note here which might help future people attempting to use the LMS 4.0 backup/restore scripts as detailed in the migration document:
    1) Make sure nobody has installed cygwin on the server before you run the backup scripts. If they have, remove it and the reg keys.
    2) On the target server make sure to run the restore script CMD session using runas or disable UAC on Windows 2008 or the restore scripts will fail
    My next problem I can't get past. I've been running the restore since yesterday morning and it still hasn't finished. It hasn't moved from 40% complete migrating the IPM data but in the last 24 hours it has eaten up 6Gb more RAM.

    Should I just wait? Is this something that might take days if I've got a lot of IPM data or is it broken? I don't really care about keeping IPM data so could I do something to complete the data migration for everything else? Any advice appreciated.
    regards,
    Aaron

    The restore can take a long time if you have a lot of data.  The problem is the database needs to be completely unloaded and reloaded to convert from ASA 9 to ASA 10.  However, if you do not care about IPM data, and you still have LMS 2.6 running, you can take a new LMS backup not using the wrapper.pl script (this will keep IPM from being backed up).

  • Problem restoring my iPod - "Resource was not found"

    My iPod hardrive is a little bit dodgy (to say the least.) When I try to connect it to my computer, it comes up with an error message that says "ITunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod."
    So I restore it, but then another message pops up that says "There was a problem downloading the iPod software for the iPod “iPod.” The requested resource was not found." and then iTunes stops recognizing my iPod.
    Any suggestions?

    i was also having the same problem. i seem to have fixed the problem but time will tell.
    here is what i did.
    1. you have to get rid of itunes 7. i did a lot of reading on the internet looking into error 1418 and 1429 and this is happening to a lot of people after they do the software update. trash everything except the itunes music folder, (where all of your mp3's a stored. don't empty the trash until you have your old songs back on your new old version of itunes 6, just to be safe.
    2. find a download for itunes 6. not the easiest thing in the world but you should be able to find it on a bit torrent or ask a friend that might still be running on that to send you a copy.
    3. you can try and restore your ipod with the old ipod updater that comes with itunes 6, (2006-01-10). it might not work the first time, it might not work after several. but at least give it a go. mine would update sometimes but then when i tried to play songs on it later it would just tear through songs and not play anything.
    4. open up your disk utility program. i ran a repair permissions and repair disk first, both times i got a message saying there was a bad btree situation going on. if you don't get this message, i suggest trying to restore it again before you go to step five.
    5. you are going to have to completely erase the **** thing. choose erase and pick the default option that comes up (mac os extended (journaled))
    6. your ipod is going to be in disk mode now, don't trip out.
    7. run the ipod updater again. once again, mine wouldn't allow me to eject the ipod once it was done so i just restarted it.
    after all this, it opened up itunes and asked me to name my ipod. everything has been cool now since this morning. good luck!

  • IMovie -Problem restoring events after external hard drive failed.

    iMovie 09 – The external hard drive failed where I stored my 2012 events.  I do not have a backup copy of these events. I bought a new external drive and named it exactly the same as the old drive. Then I uploaded archived original video clips to it recreating the events.  I used the exact same event names.  However when I view the projects I made from the original events, I get “this clip’s media file is not currently available”. The file path I created should be the same as the old, so why does the project not recognize the recreated events?  Any suggestions what I could try?
    If I were able to retrieve and copy the old events from the failed drive to the new drive, would that work?
    Has anyone successfully dealt with this problem?

    That's a very interesting scenario that you've described. I've been concerned about a potential situation arising where I may need to restore Events from a backup drive. However, your situation is somewhat different in that you've had to re-import the Events to a new drive from an archive.
    My main video drive is a Maxtor One Touch III Turbo comprising two 500GB drives set up as a RAID 0. So, effectively it appears as one drive totalling 1TB, with data being written to both drives simultaneously (but not mirrored). However, if one drive fails, the other becomes ineffective as it contains only partial data about imported clips (the remaining data being on the failed drive).
    I backup the Maxtor to a portable 1TB drive by cloning it using SuperDuper. My thinking has been that, if the Maxtor fails then a simple rename of the backup drive to the same name as the Maxtor is all that will be required for iMovie to retain the linkages between Events and Projects. I hope this is the case!
    I hope you get a solution to your predicament - sorry I can't offer any useful advice!

  • Problem restoring Leopard system from Time Machine OS 10.4.7 disk

    My Imac is currently running leopard 10.5.8, but my install disks are 10.4.7.  I am trying to restore to a backup on my time machine from 4 days ago (prior to a storm that seems to have corrupted my network system, erasing all information of a wireless network setup within my home),  I have time machine running on an external hard drive and have the typical daily backups showing.
    I followed the directions in the Apple files - brought up Disk 1 of my installation disks, selected Restore and followed the directions on the screen.   However, all I can get to is the Finder list of folders and files on the Time Machine drive.  I can highlight the folder for the backup file from the day I want to restore from, but the system will not "select" it for me to restore (in fact, that button remains grayed out).   If I click on it, the machine just pulls up a list of all the individual files within the folder, but will not allow me to select either the folder OR any of the files to restore. 
    I bought this system used - it had already been upgraded to 10.5.8.  What am I missing?
    Other info:  running a Linksys wireless network from a CenturyLInk provider.  Secondary problem:  I have forgotten my login keychain password (haven't used it since I bought the system 4 years ago).  It is not documented elsewhere.  Is there a way to reset it without using the old password?

    reading similar posts I should add that I never changed the case insensitivity of my fs, so I doubt that could be the problem.
