Restore iPhone failed but space still allocated in iPhone

Hi,
I was restoring an iPhone 4 from a backup on iTunes after upgrading from 4.3.3 to 7.1.2.
The restore appeared to have finished OK - I didn't actually see it finish but there was no message to indicated that it didn't
The phone started to reboot and went into set up mode - asking me to set language etc ... which led on to asking me to restore from backup or set up as a new phone. Wasn't expecting to be faced with the option to restore again!
Problem is now when I kick off restore from iTunes backup it tells me there isn't enough space on the phone. It's like it placed the backup file (which I found on my laptop and its > 9GB) onto the phone while it was restoring and has not removed it.
Any suggestions ??
Thanks,
Mary

I have spent months dealing with a similar problem and FINALLY found out the relatively simple culprit and solution after talking with very helpful apple support people by phone (free live phone support is apparently available after upgrading to Mavericks).
The problem wasn't with iphoto. The problem was not having enough RAM to allow iphoto to do its thing. When plugging in my phone to import photos, it pushed my RAM capacity past its limit, which caused the endless spinning wheel and the computer freezing. In particular, scrolling through iphone thumbnails seemed to trigger the crashing.
To determine if this applies to you, you can open the Activity Monitor utility and click Memory tab at the top and then look at Memory Used -- if the amount of Memory Used is anywhere close to Physical Memory (available), then RAM could be the problem.
My IMac is only a few years old and came with 4GB RAM standard, but that apparently isn't enough nowadays unless you close everything else. Skype and Itunes were opening automatically and running in the background, eating up lots of memory. Obviously you can try and manage RAM by stopping those from opening automatically, etc., but regardless, I'm going to purchase more RAM.

My iPhone 4 crashes very often (3-4 times per day) and sometimes (2-3 times per month) all my apps disappear and I have to restore them with iTunes. I downloaded all the system updatings and I also tried to restore my device, but I still have this issue

If you haven't already, try restoring your iPhone as a new device, not from a backup, and with only the apps Apple includes. Then see if the problems persist. It's possible that a corrupted file on the iPhone is causing the problems, and that could perhaps be coming back onto the iPhone if you're restoring using a backup. Problems with an app could also be causing problems. If the problems persist after restoring the iPhone as "new", then you almost certainly have a defective iPhone and will need to contact Apple for servicing.
If the problems go away after restoring the iPhone as "new", then you can start putting your other apps back on and see if the problems reappear; if they do, you probably have a badly-coded app.
Regards.

I misplaced my ipad, so I remotely erased it. Then I found it, but now I cannot use all of the options in the settings. I have restored from backup, but it still is not letting me use all functionality. Help!

Would throwing it in Recovery mode and restoring as new clear it up?
(same for Ipad)
Step 1: Turn off the iPhone. To do this press and hold the power button till you see the “Slide to Power off” screen. Now slide the button to turn it off.
In case your iPhone is stuck in an infinite loop and the previous option is unavailable, press and hold the Power and Home button till the screen goes off. Remember to leave both the buttons as soon as the screen goes off and before the Apple logo appears again.
Step 2: Connect the iPhone’s USB cable to your computer but not to your iPhone yet.
Step 3: Now hold down the Home button and while you are holding it connect the USB cable. Keep holding the Home button till you see the Connect to iTunes screen on your iPhone(Screenshot shown below). iTunes will show an alert saying a device in recovery mode has been detected.
Here’s what your iPhone screen will look like once its in the iPhone Recovery Mode.

Restore to factory settings/new iPod if yo have no done so already. If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My device iphone6 16gb storage is showing more than what i have installed in it. I tried restoring the phone but it still holds around 900 mb of storage which is not accounted. When i connect my phone to Itunes around 868mb is shown. Help

I have an iphone6 16gb and the device storage is showing more than what i have installed in it. A few days ago suddenly i got a popup window of my device storage getting full though i hardly had 4-5 apps and 500mb of photos. I tried restoring the phone and using it again as a new phone, i got my 10gb of storage but it still holds around 900 mb of storage which is not accounted. When i connect my phone to itunes, around 868mb is shown in the others section. I have no backed up data except for the contacts which are there in the icloud account. i dont understand what is that 868 mb of data.

This space is taken up by iOS 8.

This is a lawsuit war going on. Sorry about your storage space though.

Pavilion G6-1203ey: Hard Disk Test FAILED, but can still boot into Windows

Hello
I have HP Pavilion G6-1203ey laptop. After installing Windows (7 ultimate, 64 bit) and some drivers on it and after several restarts, it hanged at Windows logo and I had to turn it off with power button. Then after turning it on, it gave me the option to repair problems which are preventing it from starting up, from there I let it to restore the computer to an earlier restore point and after a restart the Windows was working again. After that I decided to do a hard disk check just in case.
The Hard Disk Self Test ended up with a message: Hard Disk 1 Full (305). Then I installed HP Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Support Environment and did hard disk from there. I chose the comprehensive test from the options, but it finished fairly quickly (in ~1 minute) with the following output:
Testing Drive: 1
Hard Disk SMART Check : PASSED
Hard Disk Short DST : FAILED
FAILURE ID : PTTU22-5T774L-MFPV4K-60S003
PRODUCT ID : A5Q15EA#B1R
Hard Disk 1
Hard Disk Test : FAILED
A bit more background:
The previous owner told me that the original HDD was faulty which is why he replaced it with this one last year. He said that other than that there has been no problems with the laptop. The Windows is working right now and this HDD is quite new so I would not have expected any problems with it, but the results from the previously mentioned tests seem troubling. Is there a reason to worry?
Thanks

Hi Alnuir,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I read your post and looked into the failure ID that you posted regarding the failed Short DST test. That error is indicating a hard disk failure meaning that if it hasn't failed it might soon. If everything is working I would considering backing up your data on a regular basis just to be safe. You could have a local technician take a look at the hard drive to see how close it is to full failure.

Aperture Valut restore partially failed - but no error messages

After re-installing my macbook I restored my aperture valut. It all went fine or at least I thought so until I found several empty projects (where I know a lot of pictures should have been stored)
Luckilly I thougt, I also have exports of old projects on DVD. When restoring one of the empty projects (67MB) from DVD the folder was still empty!!!
Any ideas?

Hi,
No, this was a clean install... unless filtering can also be saved/restored via a vault?
However... the problem seems to be solved...
When making the vault (before re-installing my macbook) I was running on Snow Leopard.
When restoring my vault I had not yet made the last update to Snow Leopard (don't recall
the versions)
I did that this morning - and when going through my projects it now works.... Just have to
check them all now I guess...
happy again!
Thanks!

My home button doesn't work very well, I reset and restored my Ipod but it still doesn't work

I've had this 4th gen. IPod since about mid-June, and it worked fine up until about a month ago. The home button doesn't work very well, and by that I mean if I'm in an app and hit the button once, it won't respond, or it'll think I hit it twice. If I hit the button twice, it either won't respond, or it will think I hit it once. I took it to the Apple store where they reset it. They said that if that didn't work, then to restore it. Well since resetting it didn't work, I restored it, and that didn't work either. I've had the same generation IPod before and never had this problem. Any advice?

Download failed but card still charged

I tried to purchase Foo Fighters greatest hits the other day. The download failed and BB World crashed. I noticed that the 10 dollars was still charged to my Mastercard, even though I didn't get my download. It doesn't show up in "My World" and when I go to the item again it still wants me to pay.

Macbook Pro 5,1 Internet & Server "failed" but can still surf the web

Hello! I know there are many discussions concerning this topic, and I have read many of them to fix the problem but no luck. I use a TimeCapsule Airport to connect wirelessly to my internet. I have two other laptops (one Macbook Pro and one Dell) that also can connect to the wireless. The TimeCapsule is connected to a router that's jacked into the wall, therefore my Airport Utility connects using automatic DHCP and assigns IP addresses within that router. My Network Diagnostics states that all of my network points are connected up until the Internet and Server, both of which say "failed" (more explicitly: Airport, Airport Settings, Network Settings, and ISP are all green while Internet and Server are red). The same thing happens if I plug my ethernet cable into my macbook. My other devices connect to the internet just fine and the other Macbook shows all green for diagnostics.
With this, I am unable to connect to software updater, help, and various other server-requisite connections/programs. This ***** because my battery also requires a software update as the System Profile shows it as "Condition: Check Battery" and my Macbook is constantly crashing for no reason (fully charged, no warning) when it runs on battery.
I've restarted my router many times, unplugged all power/connection cables and nothing. I've reset my TimeCapsule and nothing. I'm at a loss! Can someone please help? Thanks!

I finally solved the problem by myself.
For anyone reading this thread and having similar issues, I quickly describe how I did it:
Basically, I changed totally nothing on either Soft- or Hardware side.
But what I did was disassemble my MBP, remove one of those 2 memory chips, un- and replugged the SSD, turned the system on with just one memory chip, let it run for a while (did some stress tests on the SSD that ususally lead to massive problems) and everything worked smooth.
At first I thought the one memory I removed was bad, but to my surprise the system continued to work stable after I put it in again.
Since 6 days my MBP runs smooth without any troubles like spinning wheels or whatsoever.
I've read many threads from other people having similiar issues with this configuration, coming up with a lot of ideas and workarounds.
Although this seems to be weird, I hope that it helps some of you facing the same weird behaviour.

Try manually connecting the device to your PC in Disk Mode and then restoring it iTunes.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
Putting iPod devices with a Click Wheel into Disk Mode
If necessary, verify that your iPod has a Click Wheel.
Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it is charged.
Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will should say "Do not disconnect".
If you are having difficulty putting your iPod into Disk Mode, set it on a flat surface. Make sure that the finger pressing the Select button is not touching the Click Wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Play/Pause button toward the outside of the Click Wheel and not near the center. If you are still unable to put your iPod into Disk Mode, use one finger from one hand to press the Select button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Play/Pause button.

Download failed but phone still stuck...

I don't know much about these things, hence why I am posting here. In trying to download iOS7 the first time, I got through most of the process - however, in the finishing stages a message popped up on iTunes saying download failed. The REAL problem, however, is that my phone is stuck on the screen showing the download bar; it no longer comes up in iTunes, pressing the home button does nothing - so I'm wondering if it is safe to unplug it from my computer? Will anything bad happen if I do that? I'm scared.....

Plug the iPad into your computer, open iTunes then press & hold both Home & Power on the iPad.
