Restoring iphone on 7.1.2

HI, I'm having wifi issues on my phone so want to try a restore but with my last backup will I still be on iOS 7.1.2 or will it force me onto iOS 8 ?

If you want to keep ios 7.1.2 you can just Restore from back up in itunes.
Or you can GoTo Settings/General/Reset and Erase iphone. Once complete you can restore from icloud or itunes back up

    try restarting your computer i had that problem i unplugged my phone from itunes restarted my computer and then it worked

  • Secure link to iTunes Store Failed, Can't restore iPhone.

    Good day,
    Am hoping to get some help please. We recently upgraded our desktop from Windows XP to Windows 7. Re-installed all the software as well as iTunes 10.
    All has been working fine, up until yesterday. The playlist which we where syncing with the iPhone 3G, had been changed and we wanted to sync the changes to the phone.
    When preforming the sync, it got to the point where it said "Finishing Sync" in iTunes, the phone said "Sync in Progress" and iTunes froze completely. (Not Responding) Left it for about 30mins, after which it still said the same. I rebooted the machine and the phone, and tried again with the same error. I then tried removing all music and videos from the phone. Same problem.
    My last resort was to attempt a restore of the phone. It started the restore and eventually got to a point where iTunes came up with the error 2003, unable to restore iPhone, the phone was now stuck in restore mode with the iTunes Logo and USB plug on the main screen.
    So off to the iStore to get it fixed. The phone was reformatted/restored there and was working fine but I did not have any contacts/messages or photos on the phone, so I attempted another restore, so I could get my info back. It came up with the same issue again. Error 2003.
    I then started browsing around and found out the iTunes diagnostics, it fails every time on the "Secure link to iTunes", iTunes has been added to the Windows firewall, I have tried un-installing my AntiVirus software and trying it with again but same result. I have checked the ports are all open. I have tried to reset my hosts file. I have reset my internet explorer settings, but nothing is working.
    Can anybody help me out with this please.
    Below is the copy of the diagnostics log created the last time I ran it:

    The results show that you have a proxy server set and this can often cause problems with iTunes.
    The proxy setting can be accessed in Internet options>>Connections>>LAN Settings.
    Try un-checking the proxy server check box.
    It might also be a good idea to run a malware check if you didn't know you had the proxy server set.

  • Restoring iPhone from an iTunes backed up on an External Harddrive

    I deleted all of my old "restore iphone" devices not realizing that I was deleted my current one as well. I am having trouble locating Mobilsync in my MacHD and in my external HD where everything is backed up. I used the scripts you put in the terminal and etc etc but still no luck in being able to find MobileSync.
    So heres my question. How can I restore my itunes that is backed up on my external so when I connect my iphone I can just restore it from one of the previously restored iphone.
    Idealy I would like to just find mobilesync on my MacHD since that would have my most recent backed up iphone data. however, ill take an older backed up file from my external seeing how i have nothing on my iphone right now..
    Another thing is that I dont care about pictures or music. I just need all my contacts back and dates saved in my calender.
    I have not backed anything up onto iCloud.
    Thank you,
    P

    The Mobilesync files are in a hidden folder in your user folder. In the "Go" Finder menu, select "Go To Folder..." and in the resulting text field type
    /Users/yourusername/Library
    and click "Go". This will open your hidden Library file. In the "Applications Support" folder you will find the Mobilesync files.  Open up the same folder in your backup and drag & drop the files into the current Mobilesync folder. That will restore your backed up backup files. Then start iTunes and hopefully they will show up.
    Good luck.

    My ios update keeps getting stuck on the Restoring iPhone software stage. I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it again, but still nothing. Now I can't even use my phone as it shows the plug into iTunes screen. Please help!!!! Thanks,

    A Restore first downloads a new copy of iOS to your computer. On a slow Internet connection this can take a long time. How fast is your connection? How long would you expect it to take to download 900 MB?
    That's assuming nothing is interfering with the download. Some firewalls and antivirus programs will block the download or slow it down. So you should temporarily disable your security software. Security software can also block the update after the iOS download is complete.

  • How do I back up my restored iPhone to iTunes, without it reloading old content?

    How do I back up my restored iPhone to iTunes, while setting it up as new, without having it reload all my old apps? I tried once, setting it up as a new iphone, and it reloaded all my old apps anyway. I then restored the phone AGAIN, and haven't plugged it into my computer for fear of it doing it again. I want to start over new and back up the "new" phone with my new apps, and sync my old photos, but I do not want to sync old apps.

  • My question is about the 'Restore Backup' option on iTunes (Not 'Restore iPhone'). So, if I click on Back Up Now, then 'Restore Backup', would that go through the process of erasing everything on my phone as new then restore whatever iTunes has backed up?

    My question is about the 'Restore Backup' option on iTunes (Not 'Restore iPhone'). So, if I click on Back Up Now, then 'Restore Backup', would that go through the process of erasing everything on my phone as new then restore whatever iTunes has backed up?
    I do not want this to happen, as with previous experience iTunes doesn't restore a mirror of what the iPhone was when it was backed up as is the case with iCloud backups.
    What I am trying to do is, as I've found a method on Youtube, there is an application where I can delete all the multimedia saved in my 'iMessages' so clear up some space. As doing that manually through the phone would take a lifetime. The method is to backup on iTunes, then using the backup created, importing that into the application then deleting the messages through that then restoring the phone using that amended backup.
    So back to my question, would restoring through 'Restore Backup' just restore the backup internally or would it flush the entire phone and then restore the backup? And if it does so, what would be lost in the restore?
    Thank you all,
    Fahmid

    iCloud should overwrite your phone with the data stored in your account, preserving your newer data.  However, to be sure I would go to Settings>iCloud and turn data syncing to Off before restoring the backup.  Then, after restoring the backup, turn the data syncing back to on, and when prompted about Merging with iCloud, choose Don't Merge.  This will ensure that the data in your iCloud account overwrites the data on your phone (which is your goal).
    Also, you don't sync text messages with iCloud so you will end up losing your more recent messages when they are overwritten by the backup.

  • Restore iphone as new but keep text messages

    Hi!
    Ok, I have been told by genius that they can't do anything else to fix my issues until I restore my phone as new. I am actually keen to do this anyway as I have pretty much been copying from the original iphone.
    Now my main concern is finding a way of backing up my text message history storing that and then adding it to me newly restored iphone 4s.
    Has anyone found a surefire way of doing this?
    many thanks!
    Dave

  • I recently updated my phone to IOS 8.0.2 and now it wont turn on it just says to connect to itunes and when i do the only option it gives me is to restore iphone. It says it will delete all my media but i didn't do a back up what should i do?

    I recently updated my iphone 5 to IOS 8.0.2 and now it wont turn on it just says to connect to itunes and when i do the only option it gives me is to restore iphone because it is in "recovery mode". It says it will delete all my media but i didn't do a back up and i don't want to lose my photos, what should i do? (I never used iCloud to back them up either).

    If it's in recovery mode, the data is already gone. Why did you never back up your important data?

  • Update to iOS 5.1 causes iPhone to crash on "Restoring iPhone Firmware"

    Hello everyone.
    I have been vry please with my iPhone 4 on Verizon for the last 6 months.  I was on iOS 5 which worked great.  Then this morning the AppStore icon had the familiar red circle indicating some apps had updates available.  I clicked Update All.  In there was an update for iOS5.1.  I clicked OK.
    I gave me the usual License agreement etc… I clicked OK.
    A few minutes later I looked at it and it showed a picture of a cable with an arrow towards an iTunes icon.  SO I plugged it to my computer and it launched iTunes.
    iTunes tells me that my iPhone is in Recovery mode and I need to Restore.  Why is it in Recovery mode???  All I did was I clicked OK for software update!
    I have no other choice but to click Restore.  It asks if I want to Restore and Update.  I click OK.
    I downloads the software (25 minutes worth!!!) then goes through the motions.
    - Restoring iPhone software
    - Verify iPhone software
    - Verify iPhone Restore
    - Restoring iPhone firmware.
    After it sits on that Restoring firmware with a striped bar for about 30 seconds, all of a sudden, a new window pops up and says "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored.  An unknown error occurred (1)."
    iMac 2.4G 24inch .  OS 10.6.8  All my software is up to date as of this morning.  That includes the most recent iTunes.
    Nothing else is plugged in the USB ports.
    I have restarted the computer.
    No third party firmware.  No illegal mods.  No jailbreaking or anything, all on the up and up.
    I have called Apple tech support but was put on hold for 30 minutes and finally had to go to work.
    I have done a search on this and other boards but could not find a solution.  Would anyone have any suggestion?
    Thanks for any help.
    Bo

    UPDATE: 
    I tried about 6 or 7 times with no luck.  Maybe trying even more would have worked as Milis and some others have said.  But I ran out of patience.
    So I called Apple tech support.  After a few minutes a woman answered, I explained the problem, she said that since it was out of warranty, it would cost $29 for a one time incident.  I said that since I did not initiate this problem I did not think I should have to pay for anything.  Then she put me on hold, and evidently sent me to the slow cue.  I waited for about 20 or so minutes and another woman answered.  She was very friendly and tried to be helpful but this was clearly out of her league so she transferred me to a specialist.  A very friendly british sounding woman came on and really wanted to get to the bottom of this.  She did a remote access to my computer so she could see the contents of the log files.  After a while, she determined that it could not be repaired.  She told me the phone had to be replaced. 
    So she filled out a request to that effect, gave me the location of the nearest Apple store and made an appointment for me.  I went there during lunch and they replaced my phone with a new (or new looking at least) unit.  They set it up and now everything is fine.  It is still on iOS5 but I really don't have any pressing need for iOS5.1 so, given this previous experience, I'm going to stay with 5 for a while.
    Bottom line is that this was a real pain and huge waste of time.  But Apple support did come through without any trouble (apart from the waiting on hold) and got things fixed and working again.  The people I talked to did not have any idea of what might have caused this.  But one thing I was remember is this:  Usually I always do iOS updates through iTunes with the iPhone connected to the computer.  This was the first time that the update was started with the phone unconnected because it came about through the "Updates" panel of the phone's AppStore icon.  I'm not sure why this would cause the firmware update to go south but that is the only thing I can think of.
    At the end of the day, I think I have to put that in the "You want cutting edge technology? well it's going to work most of the time but every now and then there will be the inevitable pothole" column.

  • HT201263 After Ios7 update it asked me to restore iphone . But restore is not working

    After IOS7 update, Extract software did not recognize device properly . Now iTunes asked me to restore iphone . I tried restoring.
    Its giving me an error saying Phone not recognized [Error code : 2000] http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/updaterestore/?error=20000
    Kindly help pls ..

    Hey kartbeat2001,
    Thanks for the question. The following article provides relevant information in regards to Error 2000:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    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're 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 doesn't resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • With the latest IOS 7.0.3 for my iPhone, it no longer syncs with iTunes. I've run the diagnostics for syncing and it says everything is working, which it clearly isn't. Is there anything to be done without restoring iPhone? Thanks

    update : so after reading numerous posts, I tried unchecking entire playlist and just tried one of my playlists. That sync seemed to work, so I rechecked entire playlist and did the sync. It worked. Then I went in to my "walk to work" playlist and added some songs to see if it would sync now, and it did!!! so happy now. will see what happens tomorrow.

  • I recently inherited a restored iPhone 5 from my uncle and its needs a sim to be activated, could i use my friends sim just to activate my iPhone and then give the sim back once its activated without affecting his contract and later on get a sim ?

Thanks

    The phone MUST have a SIM present in order for activation to complete. The process will not finish otherwise.
    For the OP:
    If the iPhone 5 is locked to a carrier, you must use a SIM from that same carrier. Otherwise I think you would be OK borrowing the SIM to activate the phone.
