TS3219 friend gave me iphone 4 has no sim tray in wont restore in itunes?
hey guys, okay so my best friend gave me her iphone 4 as she has a iphone 5 she never used her iphone 4 for calling people texting e.t.c as her contract from her past phone hadnt finished so she just used it like a ipod, she used it for over a year and a half and it worked amazingly! until one day it she dropped it and it froze the simtray fell out and shes lost it since, she held the home and lock button and it wouldnt turn back on, she gave it to me to see if i could get it working somehow and if i could i can have it...so i went home, charged it, it was in some other language saying i have to connect it to itunes which i did and the whole restore and update thing came up and ive done it so many times but now when i take it out of the USB it just goes black it wont turn on, ive followed all the footsteps that apples has given me ive tried it on multiple laptops, tried the whole device auto sync thingy,what do i do will apple help me or give me a new iphone or? i'm 15 btw?
I had a similar problem by the sounds, my iPhone 4 was close to dead in battery, then it just kept the boot logo on the screen and once every 2 minutes or so it made the usb connected noise when plugged into my mac.
Tried: restore in the brief moment it connects to itunes FAIL
Tried: home and power button for hours! FAIL
Tried all sorts of jargon on the net and in the end i came up with this clever tricker.
Download the latest iOS
Put your iPhone in DFU mode (google it)
Connect to iTunes and restore - it's the only way I have found, and it's not been mentioned anywhere else I think.
So I'm going to re post this EVERYWHERE

My friend gave me his ipod when he moved and he didnt restore it and it wont let me restore it please help me?
Try and force iPod into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPod
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPod
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPod
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad -

My iPhone 4 has lost SIM connection several times over the past week when the phone is left on continually. I have had the SIM checked and it was not the source of the problem. I have found that I can reactivate the SIM by switching the phone off and on again. Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, is there an easy fix. I have been advised by Apple that the latest IOS update may overcome this situation but I'm only on slow download speeds and 690 Mb would take forever. I would appreciate any advice.
Best regards,

Your iPhone is probably in recovery mode. Have you tried plugging it into the computer it is linked to?

my ipod touch 1st gen has gone into recovery and wont restore because of a error 1 or something like that can someone help me quick this ipod is my little cousins and i dont want her mum to find out what happend
I have not seen a solution for error (1)
make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

All- I get this message ("iPhone can not make or receive calls. Restore from iTunes" (happend once while on airplain mode and now once while in wifi only area, out of cell range)). iPhone 4. Newest OS. Never happened with old OS! Cycling phone on/off does not help. Ignoring message causes phone to cycle off then on. After first time this happened, I restored. Six days later...same problem! Clearly a new fix is necessary. Suggestions?
I have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc). Any suggestions? What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?

my ipod touch 5 generation 16gb wont restore on itunes and sometimes it says that an error has accord (4013)
Check USB connections
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.
Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020. -

Iphone stuck in recovery with itunes logo. wont restore in itunes either. what to do?
yesterday my iPhone was on the carrier mode 'searching...' and wouldn't find connection, taken sim out put back in. done everything. went to EE store and got told to reset iPhone so that's what I did, from my iPhone. from then it frozen on the restore screen and wouldn't restore. I looked on-line and did recovery mode and now its stuck in recovery and wont restore on iTunes. How do reset and update my phone? HELP
Had the same thing happen to my iphone 6 that I just purchased 3 weeks ago. I did the latest upgrade to the software ,phone worked fine for the day but later that night it crashed,went to a black screen and would not do anything. I put it into dfu recovery mode to restore which is where it got worse. Phone was locked with the "connect to iTunes screen " and when I tried to restore several times kept getting error code 4003 and 4013. End result was a trip to the genius bar at the Apple Store where it was determined to be most likely some sort of hardware failure so they replaced my phone with what looked like a refurb but so far so good with the new one. Knock on wood. I still believe there are issues with this latest update because although my phone is working it's not running as smooth as it did the first few weeks I had it. I am very disappointed with the ongoing issues with the iPhone's. I've had every model phone from back to the i3 and never had as many issues combined with this latest iPhone 6. Here hoping Apple gets it together or this will be my last ios device!!

i have a white iphone 4 that says it was approved but restoring from itunes does not show (congrats unlocked message)

Email from AT&T says the IMEI number was approved for unlocking
..........4S that worked fine and it shows the message "congrats unlocked" in itunes
When restored. But the 4 does not. AT&T insists its unlocked but they are only going off
Of the request and IMEI number. Is there a way from the phone i can verify it was unlocked?
If AT&T e-mail says it is unlocked, then believe it is so. Insert non-AT&T SIM inside and after backing up restore in iTunes again. Unlock gets attached.
You can check the status of the unlock request on AT&T web-site.
