TS2529 if i have tried all these steps and still nothing , do i take it to the apple store?

I have tried all the steps in trying to restore my iphone 4 and now its telling that there is a problem should i take it to the apple store?

Of course it would help to know what you have tried but without that information here goes:
Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • Macbook Pro won't boot up - i have tried a few steps and still no luck

    I have MCP late 2011 - running the latest Mountain Lion.  I just had it at the apple store a few weeks ago for a routine checkup.  Everything was fine.
    I was using it last night and it locked up.  I did a hard restart, got the startup chime, then the gear spinning, then shortly after the pointer appears.  It turns to the pinwheel and sits forever.  the white screen dims to a 'dirty white/brown' color and it will just stay like this.
    I restart and enter safe boot.  During the startup - I see the progress bar and it gets about 1/3 complete then the screen changes and the safe boot login page appears.  I am the only user, along with the guest option.  If I select my profile and password the gear will just spin forever and the pinwheel returns again.  Nothing happens.  If I select guest-- it will work. 
    Using guest - I used the disk utility.  I repaired the disk - and it says everything is ok.  I also repaired the disk permissions.  It found a lot of problems with itunes and extensions from that.  It states all have been repaired, however if I restart and then rerun the disk utility: it catches the same permission errors... like it never was repaired.
    I also tried the FSCK  after the command S startup ... it says it all was good but no change.
    So -  is it a problem with my profile?  What am I missing?  Is it the HDD?  Is it the OSX?  I travel extensively and I used my timemachine before I departed.  I keep that at home as a safe copy... but now I am on the other side of the world!!  AGHH! 
    This machine is still covered under applecare... until march.    Help!?
    Thanks -  JC

    Hello Jaycakes
    The next thing to try is to reinstall OS X Mountain Lion, check out the articles below for further troubleshooting.

  • TS1702 I have purchased Translate SMS and it does NOT translate. Have tried all trouble shooting and still not working

    Just trying to restore my phone, and i have followed all the steps yet none of them have worked. any other ways to do this?

    Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.
    If the above doesn't work, then take it in to an Apple retailer for help.

    Hi kmkrodel,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues accessing iCloud on your Mac or iPad after a change in your Apple ID password, you may find the following article helpful:
    iCloud: Account troubleshooting
    On the other hand, if you are talking about sharing files from your Mac to specific apps on your iPad via iTunes, then this article may be of more use (Note: When using this function, you will only see apps that support file sharing, not all apps on the device):
    iOS: About File Sharing

    I don't have the iPhone button, as illustrated in the first picture. I've tried the tips that are mentioned in the first few steps and still nothing. My phone won't sync at all! I'm not completely computer illiterate; but, I am not well versed either. Could someone please tell me what I need to do to bring this back so I can sync my phone and laptop (windows op system).

    The screen-shot is on a Mac computer. It is very similar in Windows iTunes.  Have a look at this set of instructions instead.

  • TS1559 I did all 5 steps and they didn't work. I went into apple and they said it was probably unfixable and i would just have to pay to have it replaced. ridiculous, i'm paying for your broken product after ONE YEAR of use??

    I did all 5 steps and they didn't work so I went into apple and they basically told me they could send it away but it was probably unfixable and i'd have to pay for to replace it (180 dollars). I've only had th iphone 4s for two weeks over a year, am I seriously expected to pay for their broken product after one year of use??

    Yes, that was the terms of the warranty that you accepted when you purchased the phone. You had the option to purchase an extended warranty that would have covered it for 2 years, but you chose not to.

  • TS3074 what do you do after you have done all of this and still have not resolved the issue?

    what do you do after you have done all of this and still have no resolved the issue? itunes still will not load, or reinstall. i have updated my computers OS to the posted above settings for Vista. still gives error code 1114. NOTE!: My itunes WORKED JUST FINE UNTIL a new update was ready for download yesterday afternoon.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Trying to install Lion. says this disk is not enabled (journaled) - but when I look at the drive it actually is os extended journaled - Stuck! Have tried repair disk permissions and still no luck

    trying to install Lion. says this disk is not enabled (journaled) - but when I look at the drive it actually is os extended journaled - Stuck! Have tried repair disk permissions and still no luck - any thoughts? Have spent two weeks trying to get apple support and itunes to help me get lion after a hard drive fail and now they are closed and I really just want to get moving!

    Are you installing OS X Lion over an existing installation of Snow Leopard, or are you reinstalling?
    First be sure you have everything on your system backed up. Then reboot with the Command-R keys held to get to the OS X Lion recovery volume. In here, select Disk Utility and use the First Aid tab in here to run a verification on your boot drive. If there are any errors, fix them and then try the installation again.
    The next step would be to format the drive, so with your backup secured, use Disk Utility's Erase tab to re-format the drive to Mac OS X Extended (journaled), and then quit Disk Utilty and attempt the installation again.
