TS4036 could not sign in server error when trying to restore iphone from icloud

I am trying to restore my iPhone from an iCloud  backup.  I deleted everything on the phone per restore instructions. Connected to wireless on iPhone.  Logged on to my iCloud account.    Told the iPhone to restore from iCloud backup.  I keep getting ""could not sign in" server error OK.  I get this messge over and over.

I actually noticed when I had this problem just now that my iPhone 4 wasn't on wif. Only connected to 3G even though I entered my network info and clicked connect. So I backed up a few steps and re selected to connect to wifi and it fixed my issue!

  • Getting "not enough space on iphone" error when trying to restore iPhone from latest backup in iTunes.

    Recently updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.1.3 and lost all of my contacts after doing so.  Tried to restore phone to latest backup performed in iTunes but I get an error message that tells me there's not enough space on my iPhone to perform the restoration.  The ultimate problem I'm trying to solve is the loss of my contacts so if there's another way to solve that please let me know. If restoring my phone is a proper solution please help me do so. 
    1.  How do I get my contacts back?
    2.  How do I restore my iPhone from latest backup when getting "not enough space" error?
    Please help!

    Contacts are not part of the backup. They are seperate and either you need to sync them with an email program such as outlook or use icloud mail,contacts, and calendars on the phone. Unless you did that then the contacts are gone.

  • Trying to sign using Apple ID and get could not sign in server error

    I just got a new iPod touch and am trying to sign into the app store.  I have created an Apple ID and got a confirmation that it it works but when I try to sign on I get the following message:
    Could not Sign In 
    Server Error
    What would be causing this?
    Steve

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Can you sign in on your computer?
    - Could be a temporary Apple problem.

  • TS3694 Keep getting a 1015 error when trying to restore Iphone 3g

    Hi,  I have a problem with my old Iphone 3G, I upgraded to a Iphone 4 ages ago and just kept my old phone in a drawer, now I want to give it to my niece, so decided to plug into Itunes to reset it ready for her, it said it needed to update and download, it did that, but failed and said to restore it, but I keep getting 1015 error when it goes through the restore.
    Any ideas and options other than going to Genious Bar ?

    error usually means you have a jailbroken or a modified iphone.

  • "Unable to continue with activation" error when trying to restore iPhone 3G?

    So here's the sticky.
    My friends from the Middle East bought me an iPhone 3G. They had taken the SIM out of it.
    I connected it to my computer, and backed up all the photos. It was running 4.2.1 (the final version of iOS for 3G). I then downloaded 4.2.1 again from getiOS.net, hoping to rejuvenate the bogged down iPhone with a fresh restore. I connected it to iTunes, selected my downloaded iOS file, and proceeded with the restore.
    So it extracts the software fine, the progress bar also shows the restoration and verification going fine, but then when the iPhone reboots it shows a screen which sort of looks like the iTunes recovery mode screen (the wire connected with the iTunes icon) but it also has a popup saying "NO SIM CARD INSTALLED", and on my computer iTunes says, "We are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later."
    So where's my iOS gone?! What happened to my phone? How do I get it back to normal?
    Someone suggested putting the phone in actual recovery mode by holding down the home button and connecting it to the computer with iTunes on, but it just showed the restore option again and when I tried the restore again, the same problem happened.
    Please think of a solution guys. Is it because there is no SIM inside? Or maybe it's from a different region? Or what?

  • HT1551 Apple TV "could not sign in unknown error"

    Apple TV "could not sign in unknown error"
    Has worked forever. Used it the other day. 
    Tried tonight and received the above message.
    Unplugged it, waited about 20 seconds, then
    Restarted it. Same results. Comes with an "ok"
    Button.  When I click it I get the same message. 

    Unplugged and replugged Apple TV and router still nothing.
    Spoke with Apple  and they suggested resetting and the restoring
    If necessary. Neither were.  Apple TV decided to start working
    Properly on its own.  2&1/2 years and still kicking.  This was the only
    Blip.  I love Apple. Cool or uncool. These products have rarely failede
    And if they do, the problem is always solved effortlessly.
    I love Apple products. Faithful to Apple for 20 years of little to no problems.
    Aprox 7 different Apple products currently in use in our home. 
    Nothing but the best. Did I say I love Apple?  I do.

  • Could not sign in Unknown error.

    Have had my Apple TV for over a year on the same iTunes account, working flawlessly. All of a sudden today, I get random:
    Could Not Sign In
    Unknown error.
    Messages.
    Restart - nada. Power interrupt - nada.
    Log off and try to log back in in settings: same message every time now.
    Help!

    Sort of. I did a full restore from settings, which resets it to factory settings, but with the latest software update. Then had to set it up like new, and re-login or register apps like MLB, Netflix, Hulu, etc. Took over an hour, but the problem hasn't been back since. Kind of sad that no one replies on these forums, including Apple support. I'm full Apple technology ecosystem in my home, but have started to shop other devices now after this experience. Technology issues I can take. Lack of support, not so much.
