Updated to IOS 7 and can't restore data

I recently updated my IPhone 4 to ios 7 and it did the automatic backup it does right before updating. When it tried to restore, it have the error -1. I kept retrying and it still gave me the same issue every time I retried. I exited out and tried to do it again but I couldn't find the backup anymore. Does anyone know what's going on?

Try a different USB Cable... but if the Error persists you may have a Hardware issue.
Take your Phone in to Apple and have it checked.

  • Updated to iOS 8 and can't connect to projector

    I just updated my ipad to iOS 8.2 and can no longer connect to a projector. I am getting this error message. But the settings page indicates my OS updated successfully. How do I resolve this?

    I can understand if you only read the friendly URL, you can imagine you have to jailbreak your device, but if you spend 1 minute reading the article, you'll see the steps to downgrade to 8.1.3.
    Head over to this page and download iOS 8.1.3 IPSW for your iOS device. Ensure that you download the correct IPSW firmware according to the model number of your device. Installing the incorrect firmware could damage the iOS device. The download size of these files ranges from 1.5GB to 2GB. Therefore, downloading the firmware will take some time
    Once you have the correct iOS firmware version downloaded, plug your iOS device to the computer using USB cable
    Launch iTunes                            
    Navigate to the device's summary page and hold the Option/Alt on the keyboard. Or, Shift if you are using Windows
    While holding the key combination mentioned above, click Restore in iTunes
    Browse to the location where you have saved the IPSW file and open it. Now iTunes will begin restoring your iPhone/iPad and install iOS 8.1.3
    I did it and it works fine again !!

  • HT201320 I just update to iOS 7 and can't get separate email accounts

    I just updated to iOS 7 on my iPhone and can no longer see my three separate email accounts.  The only thing that comes up is All Mail which merges my three accounts.  Anybody else having this problem?

    I've had a simialr problem - but no love with the reset. I have also stopped itunes from syncing and then re-synced the accounts with no success - they all seem to be gone.
    When I open the mail app it prompts me to add accounts but as I try to add them it says they are already there and indeed I can see them in settings but there seems to have been a disconnect somewhere when updating to ios7.

  • I have my iTunes acc on my computer, but my computer is broken. So I barrow a computer from a friend, can I still do iPhone updates like iOS 5 and not loose my data on my phone?

    Ok so. I want to get iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 but my computer recently broke on me right before the release. So im going to barrow a apple laptop from a friend but I'm wondering if I plug my phone into it, and if my data will go on the laptop from my phone and stay there so when my phone restores I can redownload my info back on my phone.  I'm trying to think of ways I can try to get iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 please help.

    Well, I strongly recommend that before you make a backup before sync with a new iTunes, because this will erase everything you have.
    Look at www.copytrans.net, they have diferent products, depending on the case.

    I backed up my Iphone to itunes so i can do the new Update to IOs 7 and so now that i updated it i want to backup and restore and its not working, Please help!

    An iPhone backup to a computer via iTunes stores the photos in a backup file that is only meant to be be used if needed to restore back to the phone. There is 3rd party "extractor" software available but otherwise the photos are not directly viewable.
    The backup via iTunes was a good idea and your Camera Roll photos should be there and should be able to be restored to your new phone. However if it was me I wouldn't rely on that alone. I would also import the photos to a computer where you can see and verify that you have a copy. That is a good idea at any time (not just when you know you might need it). Any phone can be lost, broken, suffer hardware issues, etc at any time and lose all data on it. Following is a link with information on how to import the photos to a computer:  Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

  • Please help me tp update my iPhone 5, because after updating to ios 7 I can no longer update and restore my phone? it always error

    please help me to update and restore my iphone 5? beacause after updating to iOS 7, i can no longer updater and restore my phone. it always comes in error

    I'm having the identical problem on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 7--no ability to update apps or download new apps.  Here is what Apple tech support emailed to me:
    I understand that you are unable to download or update applications after updating iOS7 on your iTunes. I know you must be eager to get this resolved and I will be happy to help you today.
    ... to help you better with this issue I would request you to please try this steps given below to resolve your issue.
    Please follow this steps:
    1) Double tap the home button
    2) Hold down on an icon
    3) Tap the red "X" on iTunes, and the App Store.
    4) Tap Settings > Store > Tap your Apple ID, and choose sign out
    5) Tap Settings
    6) Tap General
    7) Tap Reset
    8) Tap Network Settings
    Once it has been closed with multi-tasking, and you have rebooted the device in the network settings reset, please sign in, and try again. 
      Howevr, if you are facing the same issue than for this issue, you may need to call our AppleCare technical support team. A technical Advisor will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support. The technical Advisor can also assist you in determining what option might be most helpful to you in this case.
    Mildly amusing that the instructions for force-closing a program are the IOS 6 instructions, which do not work on IOS 7. 
    Otherwise I'm having a little success with this.  Some apps (not all) are updating. It seems that a few more apps update each time I go through the process (close everything, sign out, and either reset or reboot, then go to the app store, sign in and try to update all).  So far it has been a very lengthy, iterative process. 

  • TS3694 I tried to update my iphone 3gs from ios 5 to 6 but because of software crash and while restoring with ios 6 it is not activated. Now I degrade it in ios 4 and can not use any app. How can I update this iphone?

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported, and likely has caused the problems you are experiencing.
    You'll need to go elsewhere for support.

    iPhone 4 crashed during ios update (5.0.1) and won't restore. anyone know how i can get my iPhone working again?

    Try to force your phone into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the computer's USB cord. Turn it off if you can by holding the sleep/wake switch until you see the red slide to off. If you can't turn it off, please continue. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 for details.
    Then you can restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

    That means you have not a backup before accidentally restore your new iPhone 5.
    So you should recover your new pictures and info with a third recovery tool.
    This blog has a useful tool to meet you.
    http://easy-iphone-recovery.blogspot.com/2013/09/iphone-recovery-resource.html
    In step 1, you should choose 'Recover from iOS Device' in the main interface and then following the steps to get your pictures and info back.
    Good Luck.

  • I updated to IOS 5 and apparently didn't get my apps backed up. So, they are now lost. Is there any way to restore them?

    I updated to IOS 5 and apparently didn't get my apps backed up. So, they are now lost. Is there any way to restore them?

    Are they backed up to your computer? If so you can go to the "Apps" tab in the main window of your iPad and resync them there.
    OR
    On you iPad go to App Store > Updates and the first tab should be something called "Purchased" (if you have already entered you Apple ID) and you can re-download from there.

  • HT4972 I have an Ipod touch version 4.2.1 and the instructions do not detail how to update to iOS 5. Can you help with me step by step instructions.

    I have an Ipod touch version 4.2.1 and the instructions do not detail how to update to iOS 5. Can you help me with step by step instructions.

    iOS 4.2.1 suggests that you may have 2nd generation Touch, which cannot be updated past iOS 4.2.1
    Check http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353  for help in identifying your model. A quicker method may be to check the back casing. If your iPod has Model No.A 1288 etched into it, then it's a 2nd gen Touch. 
    Assuming that you are using the latest version of iTunes (today, that is 10.6.3), to check if your iPod can be updated, connect it to your iTunes and look on the Device/Summary pane. Select Check for Updates. If there is one, you will see a message telling you that and how to install it. However, if you see a message saying that your iPod is up-to-date, then it cannot be updated.
