Unable to restore remotely wiped iphone4

My iphone4 was remotely wiped at 1:34am it is now 5:48am and I am not able to power the device on to sync it with itunes. After apple loggo appears the phone seems to freeze and doesnt load so when i plug it into itunes my phone doesnt appear there.
What do i do?

If the iPhone is OFF, then with iTunes open, hold the Home button as you connect the iPhone to computer with USB cable. Keep holding the Home button until iTune recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode, then Restore the Firmware.
If the iPhone is showing the Apple Logo or is ON, with iTune open, connect the iPhone to the computer with USB cable. Then hold together both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, this may take more than a minute. Then Restore Firmware.
If this does not work, charge up iPhone on Wall Charger for at least 30 minutes and try above again.

Hey Arjen Ronhaar,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues updating your iPhone to iOS 7. If you have not already done so, you may want to restart or reset the iPhone:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you'll want to restore your iPhone in recovery mode with iTunes:

Thanks,

I have the latest iTunes 12.1.2.27. However, I am unable to restore my iphone4s. iTunes was able to detect an iPhone in recovery mode. The error is something like "Unable to restore the iphone. Make sure you have the latest iTunes and try again."

I have the latest iTunes 12.1.2.27. However, I am unable to restore my iphone4s. iTunes was able to detect an iPhone in recovery mode.
The error is something like "Unable to restore the iphone. Make sure you have the latest iTunes and try again." This is the latest version that exists currently.
I am using MAC OS X 10.7.5.
Please advise.
I have tried all the steps in the apple support.

There is nothing to backup.
If the device is showing the Connect to iTunes screen, there is nothing on the device to backup.
The first step in the update process is a backup... restore the device using that backup and try again.

Same thing is happening to me with my iphone. A message appears in iTunes when you plug the phone in saying "iTunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes. " I don't want to restore and lose everything.

TS3694 I am unable to restore my iPhone4, I have iOS6 and latest iTunes installed and when trying to sync or back up it comes up with Error −54. How or what do I do to fix this?

== Error -54 ==
From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
First, try simply restarting your computer.
iTunes Library cannot be saved (Error -54) - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1912814
Unknown error (-54) while syncing ipod - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1082953 - problem was locked files
Why does iTunes keep showing a -54 error when I sync my iPad? - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114
Error -54 possibly related to Touch Copy - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114 - cleared by deleting preferences on iPad.

Unable to restore the previous settings of my iPhone4

I was unable to restore the previous settings of my iPhone4. An error message appeared when I sync it with the iTunes.

RatVega has provided good detailed directions.
I like to also have the concept in hand, so I can "re-derive from fundamental principles" when needed. [That's just a euphemism of "over-thinking", which I do a lot.]
That concept is: The drive on the desktop is an Icon. Like any other icon, including Files and Folders, it can be renamed by clicking on the name and re-typing a name, or using GetInfo and typing in the larger and more convenient name-box. Once renamed in this fashion, "It works the way it ought to work."

HT4061 iphone 4s unable to restore

Can you get information from an iPhone that has been remote wiped?

Hello,
My girlfriend thought her iPhone was stolen today, so she did a remote wipe so no one could steal her information off her phone. It ended up that she had just left her iPhone someplace and was able to get it back.
Now that she's got the phone back, she's trying to restore it, but it looks like the iPhone was set to back up to iCloud, but never did because of an error (she had no idea she was getting), and it seems that since it was set up to back up to iCloud, the last iTunes backup was from before she got her iPhone 4s (so it's 5 months old).
Is there anyway to pull information off of an iPhone after it's been remote wiped? I have a program for pulling information off of digital camera memory cards that have been formatted. Is there something like this for iPhones?
Thanks,

Sorry, no. Her data is gone, as designed.

Lost my BB 9800, Unable to restore my contacts

Hi,
I lost my bb 9800, i think i have data somewhere on bb server because when i login on BB protect website i can see that in archived back up details but i'm unable to restore it. And when i try to restore on my new 9810 it says "This data is already wirelessely synchronized with a remote service and cannot be restored by blackberry protect" only for contacts. And i've archived the device by mistake n now it shows "Remote admin commands are not available on archived devices".
Please help me. I only want my contacts.

Hey,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
This will occur when the BlackBerry® smartphone has wireless synchronization enabled through the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server or BlackBerry® Internet Service. Wireless synchronization will need to be turned off to prevent this from occurring.
Thanks.

Unable to restore iPad from recent iTunes update.

So I updated to iTunes 10.7. Afterwards it told me I had to wipe my iPad 2 and restore it. After wiping my iPad however I am unable to restore it. It's stuck in recovery mode. So here is what I have done:
I have read support articles like this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
I have rebooted, reset, unplugged and re-plugged my iPad multiple times.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes three times now.
I have tried different USB ports.
I have tried to direct Windows Vista to the Mobile Device Support/Drivers folder however Windows can not locate the usbaapl.inf. It's there but windows doesn't recognise it.
I am tapped out here. Any advice would be appreciated, my iPad is a paper weight at this point.

Explain which way you tried to restore from a backup.
Did you try to use iCloud? If you did, what happened when you tried?
Or did you use iTunes and what happened when you tried that way?

HT4623 I can't restore my new iPhone4. The process runs however a error message appears coding 3014? Help

I can't restore my new iphone4. Help. An error msg appears coding 3014

Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

I remotely wiped my stolen iPod & it was later recovered. How do I get my stuff back?

My iPod touch was stolen from school. I remotely wiped it last night, the principal found it today! How do I restore it? Will hooking it back up to my Mac & iTunes work?

Restore from backup. For how see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restoe from iTunes backup all your apps have to be in the iTunes library since the backups does not included synced media like apps and music.
If necessary, you can redownload iTunes purchases.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
You may have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode to allow the restore. and sync.

I remote wiped my iPhone and now I don't have FaceTime or iMessage

Hi Everybody,
Dumb of me. I, accidentally, remote wiped my wife's iPhone 4. Don't ask... I don't know why I did it...
However, It was no big deal after all.... I restore it with a kind of factory reset and afterwards to its previous state using the backup made one day before. Now, everything is running as it should...
Ooops!!! Not everyhting.... No Face Time or iMessages.... Remember the so called "Wainting for activation" problem?
That's the one I have now....
I´ve been reading about this and trying all the fixes I've read. Date & Time Automatically Off and On again with restart... Even a very very strange fix: changing my Wireless DNS nunber either to 8.8.4.4 or 8.8.8.8.
Nothing worked... However, I did have FaceTime and iMessages before my silly Remote Wipe. So it must be a very particular little thing.
Anyway, it is an iPhone 4 running IOS 6 already and in Portugal (Time zone: Lisbon; London).
Any ideas on what to do?
Cheers
Jorge

OK.... It is solved. Meanwhile, I discovered a Apple KB that recomended to wait for 24 hours before trying again.
I waited 24 hours and it is wortking again.
I have to give 10 points to myself..... :-) I am sorry but the problem wernt way and I want to close it.
Cheers
Jorge

Someone remote wiped my mac and put a password

Someone stole my Me account info and remote wiped my laptop running 10.7.2 Now there is a password when I try and start the computer. They also deleted my Me account, and when I try and recover my password Apple tells me I dont have an account. I tried booting from the Lion recovery disk and also from a Snow Leopard install disk and both just get to the password screen. I accept the fact that all my data is gone, but need a way to restore my mac to a working condition.

Do you have your CDs that came with your Mac, an upgrade CD, or USB thumb drive (10.7/10.8)? You can reboot the computer while holding down Option, select the restore disc (CD or Thumb drive). Let the computer boot. Go to Utilities>Password Reset, and you can reset your password without loosing any data (to my knowledge).

If i jailbroke my ipad 3 (the new ipad) and the android lockscreen broke froze so i remote wiped it, and it is stuck what do i do?

if i jailbroke my ipad 3 (the new ipad) and the android lockscreen broke froze so i remote wiped it, and it is stuck what do i do?

"IF" you have not jailbroken, then please do not.
Jailbreak voids your warranty. Apple will refuse all help, even out-of-warranty replacements when it crashes. Thei forum will not help you with jailbreak devices. Your device becomes unstable and catches viruses. You cannot always restore to pre-jailbreak.
I hope that "if" means you have not done it yet.
