Repeated restore from updated to ios 5.0.1 - HELP!

Hi
I just updated iTunes and then my iPhone to IOS5.0.1. It got stuck halfway through and required a hard reboot on the iPhone for anything to work. From there the iPhone was plugged in and restored.
I have now completed about 6 restores, each time the phone looks fine and just seems to need a sync (the apps are missing, however all contacts and messages are there) however iTunes continues to want to restore. I have switched both the laptop and phone on and off so many times!
Help please, at wits end!

OS 5 is facing problem with updating after been updated to iOS 5, iPhone is stuck in recovery mode (Apple logo & black screen repeat repeatedly).
You can reset it in normal way of how when the iPhone crashes or locks up that prevents the iPhone from responding to being turned off for the steps follow this link,

Replacement iphone - trying to restore from backup, but iOS v 6 running and won't update from recent backup

Replacement iphone - trying to restore from backup, but iOS v 6 running and won't update from recent backup. How do I ensure I get all my photos etc onto new phone?
Thanks

If you're old phone that was repalced was a higher version of iOS, it wont be able to restore. Update your iPhone to the lastest iOS 7.0.4 and try to restore it then.

I have an iPod touch, 3rd generation, and when I push the button to put it to sleep, my iPod takes a screen shot. It's really annoying. Is this a result from updating to iOS 4.3.3? Also, my screen is EXTREMELY sensitive-breathe on it and it turns on.

- Are you also having problems with the Home button? Maybe it is sticking a little since to take a screen shot you depress the Home and Power/Sleep buttons at the same time.
- I have not seen your problem discussed here before.
- I would first try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to restore the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Will Apple provide solution to those with problem from updating to iOS 4.0

My iPhone doesn't want to restore on iTunes after crashing from updating to iOS 6.1.2

I keep getting countless errors and I need my phone back up and running asap

Well the phone was working fine just listening to music then it shut off completely and started relooping the apple logo. so I put it in DFU mode, connect it to itunes so that itunes can detect it being in recovery mode to be restored and updated. but after it was preparing for update I get errors 2001, then I would retry again and get 1600, I did recall getting 3014 when im doing the exact same thing over and over hoping it would go through with the process.

IPhone won't restore after update to iOS 5

I recently tried to upgrade to iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 but whenever I do, I receive the message: "iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPhone “Thundercracker”. Would you like to restore this iPhone again now?" I've tried several times, with no interruptions, and can not get the iPhone 4 to restore from backup. The last backup was made immediately before the update and the iPhone was pretty full before upgrading.
Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas on how to get my information back?

When I tried to update to ios5 it gave me an error as well and stayed on the iTunes screen saying the device is in recovery mode along with an error number. Now,I had gone to apple store previously with this issue when tryin to restore my iPhone only. They said that sometimes the software might be crashing because of an app. The solution is to restore it as a New Phone. Then Put everything back manually. So when I was on the process of installing the new iOS 5 the error seemed to be similar and apple gives you all the troubleshooting codes and fixes. I had to put a command before proceeding. I did that and it seemed to work for one of the iPhones, I was updating 2 iPhones at the time. Then for the other one when it stayed on the iTunes screen I just disconnected and connected the USB cable again and instead of doin update I did restore first and then update and that solved the problem. After restoring it will automatically update and put the information you had before the update back to your iPhone .

It won't restore after Updating to IOS 6

After updating to IOS 6 my ipod shows the following message constantly "itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode you must restore this ipod", I need HELP!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPhone 4S repeatedly crashes after updating to ios 7.1

I upgraded my iPhone 4S to ios 7.1 approximately one week ago. Since then, my phone crashes 10+ times per day. No particular app seems to cause the crash.
I have done a clean install on the phone twice. This did not help. I have also removed all running apps from memory. This did not help either.
This is really becoming an inconvenience as I use my phone for business purposes and it has actually crashed three times during business related calls.

Have you read above? We already restored the phone as new, it didn't help.
Really?
odedias wrote:
Did a clean install. Things do run faster.
There are still advantages to starting out clean. Phone feels a bit faster.
iOS 7.1.1 has less crashes, and runs faster than 7.0.4, which existd in March when you last posted.
And, who appointed you as "WE" in this thread? You aren't even the OP. Are the others your alternate forum ID's?

IPhone 4 won't restore after updating to ios 5!!!

After restoring iphone 4 with ios 5, itunes is stuck in "set up your iphone" mode asking me to restore from backup however whenever i do restore it goes back to the same screen asking me to do it again, all my contacts photos and other info syncs but no apps and cant use phone on itunes because it keeps telling me to restore from backup.. please help!!

So I went to the apple store today since I was having the same problems, they reset it back to factory settings. Plugged in Iphone to laptop and the same two options came up: 1. set as new Iphone or 2. restore. So I restored thinking it would then synch...nope.
They told me if I didn't work to bring back my Iphone and laptop, it might be a problem with Itunes.

How do i, a:delete contacts, b:back up contacts, ive lost a load from update to ios 5

how do i, a: delete old contacts and b: find contacts which have gone after update to ios 5

Think I got it figured out... I missed the whole "sync apps" when my iPod was connected to my computer (in iTunes)
