Trying to restore iPhone 4 after iOS 7 update

I've updated my software to ios 7, and the iphone turned on and asked me to set up the language, wifi, etc. It asked if I want to restore the iphone using iturnes or icloud. I chose iTunes, and it asked to connect the phone to the computer to get connected to iTunes. Did that, and iTunes goes through 6 steps of "syncing" to my phone. It completes and everything, and the phone goes back to the "how would you like to restore your iPhone" page. How can I get all my previous settings back? I don't want to lose my contacts and texts!

Cannot restore iPhone 4 after IOS 5 update

So i updated my phone last night and it said that it needed to be resotred so I did, but just before it finished, it did not complete it and now will not restore at all. Keeps coming up with Error (1). I have followed the steps to what apple have given me by restarting my laptop, making sure I have the most recent iTunes and making sure all my software is upto date. and it all is, but I still cannot restore it. Can someone PLEASE help me! I have contacted Apple and the place where i got it from and they had no idea and could not help me. so could someone PLEASE PLEASE help me??

My best suggest is with error 1 is to make sure that your security software on your comptuer is temporarily disabled. That's very common with itunes restore errors- and more specifically with that errror code. If you can't get it to restore after disabling it...you can try another computer to restore and then bring it back to your original comptuer to sync or restore from you backup.
All else fail with that contact Apple Technical support at 1-800-694-7466 With further instructions. But they will definitely ask you about that security software....

My new iPhone 6 paired perfectly with my Mercedes system. That said, on your iPhone 5, reset your network settings and then try to pair it again.

You probably would get better answers in either the iPhone or iOS forums. This is for Macbooks. I've asked the hosts to move it.

Error message 1 after trying to restore iPhone 4, after upgrading it to iOS 5

I keep getting error message 1 after trying to restore my non-jailbreaked iPhone 4 after trying to upgrading it to IOS 5. The phone only displays a picture of the iTunes logo and a USB cable. I have tried everything I could find on the internet such as holding the homebutton while connecting the phone to iTunes, restarting the computer, switching computers, restore with another cable, take out the simcard etc. It works fine until the verry end, that's when I get the message. Please help!

Try downloading the 3rd party application called "Tiny Umbrella". While it isn't a software distributed by Apple it will be able to kick your iPhone out of the boot loop.
Mac OS X download, click here.

Contacts wiped out on iphone 5 after ios 6 update, how do I restore.

Help, I stupidly installed the ios 6 update on my iphone 5 without researching it first and now my contacts (except for facebook contacts) got wiped out and my text messages do not tell me who they are coming from. Any ideas how to fix this?

I thought I did them on itunes but they are not showing up there either. I wasn't on icloud prior to the update. I tried a restore through itunes and that didn't work. Have been going through the boards trying to find a solution but most answers are to the ios 5 update and are not working for me. I'm beginning to think that I am going to have to do them manually. I don't understand why it wiped out my regular contacts but not the facebook ones.

Itunes wont sync music to my iphone 4 after iOS 5 update

after my iOS5 update on my iphone 4 Itunes changed a few settings. I had it set up that my iPhone would have music and no photos synced. And my iPad2 All Photos would sync and NO music.
After the update and sync, my iPhone will not sync Music, With in iTunes under the Device iPHONE and the Music tab there are the tracks of music but they are shaded and i am not able to play from there. On my phone there no songs.
Yes I have the boxes checked in the music tab of the iTunes area to Sync ALL.
Thanks

Right.........Problem Solved!
1) Back up all of your stuff that you want!
2) Restore your Phone (This totally wipes everything so make sure it's backed up)
3) Then turn apps off for syncng and sync music
4) That should sync music onto it.
5) Then sync any apps you need.
This (with the help of a Genius in the Apple Store and took about 1hour and a half) worked for me!
Good Luck

IPhone wiped after ios 5 update

I've just updated my mums iPhone 4 to iOS 5 and now I've lost everything from it. The whole iPhone has been wiped! The backup doesn't work and I really need some help.

My iPad did the same.
I had to Restore as Udpate would not work (error 3002)
I backed up then restored then Restore from backup but alas, it was empty.
I plugged it back in then did a normal sync and it put everything back on it.

Cannot find Siri on iPhone 4, after iOS 6 update

I have updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 but cannot find Siri anywhere. I've tried holding home button down but that just activates voice control. Its not in general settings either. Am I missing something obvious?

Sorry, but there is no Siri for the iPhone 4:

HT4859 Can't restore my iPhone 4 after iOS 6 update. help!

I updated my phone 4 to iOS 6. It froze up on me and I restored it. It did not give me an option to back up from iCloud. I tried to manually do it but it won't allow me to. What gives?

I've never seen that error. Try these steps: Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support. If not these, try another computer if you have one.

How can I restore lost voicemails after iOS 5 update?

I've seen a lot of posts of this sort, but I've been trying to fix this issue for months and I really need some experienced help... When I updated my phone to iOS 5, I received a message saying my phone couldn't be restored because the backup was encrypted--I had neither requested nor set a password for this encryption. The phone now had none of my information on it, notes, texts, voicemail. I panicked, called Apple, and they helped me find a way to restore the notes from files in iTunes, which is a relief because I'm a writer and had a lot of work in there.
However, the phone started asking me for a voicemail password that to my knowledge, I had never set. I tried a few passwords and attempted a few other methods of recovery, all to no avail. So I reset my voicemail password, as all the online literature I could find suggested. However, the "password is incorrect, please enter your password" prompt then no longer showed up. After long deliberation I set up visual voicemail over again, but to my dismay I no longer have any saved messages.
At this point I have lost over a year's worth of text messages and voicemails. Some of these were incredibly important to me. I would love to recover all of it if possible, but I particularly care about the saved voicemails. Some of these were from my girlfriend during a difficult time in our lives and I really need them back. I also lost important texts from my girlfriend, best friend, and siblings, but the most important thing is the voicemails.
Nothing I'm concerned about is more than a year old, but there are around five or six voicemails I need. No, there is no deleted folder from which I can undelete messages, I know how to do that. My phone is not yet jailbroken but I'm not against doing it if it will allow other methods of restoration to be attempted. I do some coding myself and I'm not daunted by the prospect of sifting around in my computer's files and command line, by the way. I still have all the itunes backups, although half of them are still encrypted with an unknown password. I will pretty much try anything to get these messages back.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I know of no way to remove encryption on iTunes backups if you've forgotton the password. If you've used the 4 digit PIN code to lock your iPhone in the past that can sometimes default as your "password" for this encryption in iTunes. Try that PIN or any PIN you've used in the past. If you don't use a lock maybe you played around with that feature once when you first got your phone....try "1,2,3,4" or anything you could have possibly tried.
As far as accessing older unencrypted backups you can try this software. I do not have any experience using it but it seems like it's what you need and is probably the easiest route for both voicemail and texts:

If you want to try to find voicemails using Terminal, I found this link as well:
http://mikereys.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/iphone-backup-restoring-visual-voice-ma il/
I know with AT&T, voicemails are only stored on their servers for 30 days so any voicemail older than that you would not have been able to access again.
Best of luck.
