Trying to update my iPhoneWhile 4 to iOs6 it froze on the connect to itunes screen and i needed to do a restore. But it restored my phone to january 2011 even though i just backed my phone up 2 weeks ago.

While trying to update my iPhone 4 to iOs6 it froze on the connect to itunes screen and i needed to do a restore. But it restored my phone to january 2011 even though i just backed my phone to my laptop up 2 weeks ago. I still have all my contacts but i lost a lot of apps and text messages. Is there any way to make it restore to my most recent back up?

I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
Thanks very much for your feedback.

I have an ipod touch that continues to have a black screen with the white apple on it. It won't shut off and is completely frozen. This happened when we tried to restore it last night. Help please!!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device 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.

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW I CANT DELETE MY APPLE ID I JUST GOT A NEW AND NO LONGER NEED THE OLD 1 HELP PLEASE

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW I CANT DELETE MY APPLE ID I JUST GOT A NEW AND NO LONGER NEED THE OLD 1 HELP PLEASE

As far as I know they can't be deleted, just remove any personal info from it (credit card details etc) and stop using it.
If you downloaded any content via it then you will need to remember it and it's password, as content is tied to the account that bought/downloaded it, so if you move to a new computer you'll need to authorise the account on it if you want to use any of its content there (or if you bought apps with it you'll only be able to download updates to them via that account)

Help! Restore needed but iTunes won't recognise iPhone

This morning, my phone's decided it needs to be restored. However when I try to connect to iTunes I get this message :
'iTunes cannot activate your iPhones because the SIM card is not inserted or a SIM PIN is required. Disconnect your iPhone, make sure the SIM card is inserted correctly and, if you use a SIM PIN, tap Unlock to enter it, and then reconnect your iPhone.'
Needless to say, I don't use a SIM PIN, and I've tried 3 times so far to switch off & on and I get the same thing every time. Can anyone help please?

Exactly the same problem with my 5 month old iPhone. Suddenly one morning it claimed that there wasn’t any simcard in the phone or it needed activation. When I connected it to iTunes I couldn’t do a thing.
But, the tip about holding standby/powerbotten and home at the same time and thereafter holding home worked and iTunes recognized my phone and was able to do a restore.

Ipod touch needs to be connected to itunes but wont restore.

this is the second time its done this now, i cant remember how i fixed it last time, and its really annoying me now. on the ipod screen it says i need to connect the ipod to itunes, when i do it says restore so i click it and it says it cant because of the software update server cannot be contracted. i've tried to look on the itunes site, but theres no help and is crap.

can not get into ipod
If you can't remember the Passcode, you need to restore the device from the computer it was last synced with.
Follow the instructions for putting the device in recovery mode > iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Need to Restore Ipod - but wont work

Last friday, I was in a free period at school, and I took out my I-pod out of my backpack. It was working fine until about 20 minutes later when the songs started randomly skipping. Then the ipod froze. So I held the menu and select buttons and restored it. Only there was one problem, that stupid little icon with the exclamation point on the folder came up!!! I've tried everything on the tech site, but still nothign has worked. The first time I plugged it back into my computer, after a few minutes, this window popped up about if I wanted to restore my ipod, which i did. But at that time I didn't have time, so I figured that I could do it later. Now whenever I plug it in, the computer detects NOTHING!!! So now I cannot restore it.
I thank you in advance for your help.

Mine did the exact same thing. After a while it wouldn't even mount to my PC, so I couldn't format it or anything. All it would do it the Apple logo, then the exclamation file folder, and that terrible clicking noise. I asked my friend, and she suggested to jog it a little to get rid of the click. I did. It worked.
It's unconventional, but I couldn't be more excited that my iPod works after months of frustration. Now, I'm not saying take your iPod and slam it across the room, just hit it. You might have to do this several times. After my first tap, it could finally mount and I could restore it, but it wouldn't re-format. When trying to re-format, it would get stuck and would still be clicking. So I gave a love top on the back, still clicking. On the top, still clicking. One side, still clicking. Other side, no clicking! It finished formatting and now it's fine.
I hope this helps! But PLEASE be careful, don't do anything extreme.

Restore needed, but itunes wont see it???

Hi,
Phone all of a sudden just turned off, then back out telling me to connect to itunes, i have done that but it comes up with
"Restore needed, blah blah" then itunes tells me that my sim is locked and doesnt see the phone??

Both of you can try this out and see if it works. The method below will put your iPhone into DFU mode:
1. Connect your iPhone to your computer and open iTunes.
2. Hold down the sleep and home button (ignore power off slider) and continue to hold for 7 seconds after the screen shuts off.
3. Let go of the sleep button, but continue to hold the home button. The screen should stay black while in DFU mode, if it turns on try the process again.
4. iTunes should pop-up saying that there is a iPhone in recovery mode.
5. Try restoring now.
Let me know if it works for you. If you are using a MAC to do this, you cannot be on 10.5.6, you have to update to 10.5.7. There was a problem with 10.5.6 recognizing iPhone's in DFU mode, but it was corrected in 10.5.7.

Help needed - ipad wont restore

Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.
Look at this discussion that I found in the More Like This box on the right. You can try the recommendation in it as well.
