Upgrade and restore error

when i try to restore and upgrade to a new version, i get an unknown error. it says something like "unknown error. iphone can not be restored: error 1015" now i cant use the phone at all. does anyone know how to fix this? thanks in advance!

Try Re-Restarting the phone or turning it off and back on again.
Another thing to try is to hook it up on iTunes and click the "Restart" button on your computer. If that doesn't work I would maybe try press and holding the on/off button and the home button on your phone at the same time until the silver apple symbol comes up.
If none of these things work, I would contact apple or see the Genius Bar.

  • Itunes was working fine. Tries to install latest upgrade and get error message about an invalid character in the path "Program Files (x86)". PC, Win7, nothing else appears to be having same issue.

    Thanks b noir,
    I tried this solution without success. After FixIt ran and didn't find a problem, either in looking for issues with "software upgrade" or "iTunes" it kindly offered to help me uninstall iTunes. I had thought of this as a possibilty but it seems to me that if you do that you lose a lot of "non-native-to-Apple" information you might have entered. I did this once and recovery was painfull. Is there a way to uninstall iTunes without losing all of that sort of thing? Any help would be appreciated.

  • Synchronization Issue backup and restore errors

    Hi,
    I have implemented synchronization in local on two instances and worked well for me. But when I am trying to implement the same in Prod server, it is giving exception backup and restore errors. Please let me know, is it possible to implement Synchronization
    on same server in two different instances ?
    Thanks,
    Moorthy

    Hi Moorthy2015,
    According to your description, you get issue when sychronizing SSAS database server. Right?
    In Analysis Services, it is supported to do sychronization for SSAS databases between different instances on same server. We can also sychronize two different SSAS servers. So in this scenario, you can do sychronization between Pro server and Dev server.
    Please refer to links below:
    How to synchronize two SSAS Servers
    Synchronization with Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services
    If you issue still persists, plesae share some detail information about the error.

  • Hello, help me. My Itunes don't have the upgrade and restore button when I connect my Ipad??? My Itunes version: 11.2.2

    If you're using a USB hub take it out of the loop. Plug directly in to a USB port on the system. If you are using a front mounted USB port, try one on the back instead. If this doesn't correct it, try shutting off any firewall and antivirus software and turn off User Access Control.

  • Upgrade and restore wiped out my library!!!!

    Recently my iPod has been acting a little weird (freezing and not synching properly) so I thought I would restore it to its original settings. I had just upgraded to the latest and greatest iTunes and everything was working just fine. I hooked up my iPod, pressed restore and went to bed. In the morning it said OK to disconnect, so I did. I went outside and plugged it into the car and started looking for the album I wanted to listen to. Nothing was there, only one TV show. I went back inside and looked at iTunes to see if there was an error screen I missed. There was. It said, "100 errors" I looked at each one and it was the same, "could not locate song." I opened explorer and tried to jump on my external music drive, but it would not open. I get an error that says, "Drive not formatted, would you like to format now?" I had over 75 gigs of music on that drive, where did it all go????? It was there before I upgraded iTunes and restored my iPod. What the deuce!?!?!?

    I'd be freaking out!
    Then I would shut down my PC and my external HD, and start them back up.
    Does Windows still think that exHD needs formatting when you start it back up?

  • IPhone 4 upgrade and restore

    I tried to do the iphone 4 upgrade on July 20, 2011 and it stuck and put my iPhone 4 in recovery mode. It says I need to restore, but when I try and restore it gets stuck during firmware part of restore and won't continue any further because of Error #9. I have tried all USB connections and tried different USB cables. I don't think anything is wrong with any of them. Help?!?!

    Well, I went to the Apple Store, and after replicating the problem, they offered me a replacement on the spot.  Great service on their part was enough to offset the hassle of going there in the first place.  Everything works well now and upon arriving home I was able to update the firmware and sync from my backup without further issue.  Hope everything goes as smoothly for you guys.  Gl

  • Windows vista, sync and restore errors. I give up.

    I have had continuous problems with my 8gb ipod touch, 2nd gen. I just returned one which I had had for 4 months during which it worked, but then I could not get it to restore and now have a new one and have the same problem. When I first got the new one , it would not sync it had a number of errors such as;
    - Attempting to copy to the disk 'X' ipod failed. An error occurred while writing to the device.
    -The ipod 'X' iod cannot be synced an error occurred while writing to the device.
    -Required disk cannot be found.
    -Also something about Apple Mobile Device
    So I uninstalled itunes and all related programs and then reinstalled them.
    I managed to get a few songs on to the ipod but they were distorted and the album art became chequered.
    I then tried to restore it and have had more errors such as:
    -The 'ipod' ipod could not be restored, an unknown error occurred (6).
    -The 'ipod' ipod could not be restored, an unknown error occurred (14).
    I have done all the things specified such as:
    -Restarting the computer,
    -Reinstalling Itunes,
    -Using differnt USB ports on the computer,
    -Removing the firewall, Zone Alarm,
    -Removing everything from itunes.
    Is it due to an itunes update possibly around june, that I have started experiencing problems.
    Will I be able to fix it?
    Any help would be appreciated, otherwise I shall return it and not bother with an ipod again.
    Many Thanks

    I have exactly the same problem with my 8gb ipod touch 2nd gen and have tried everything you have with no success (see http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2531624&tstart=0)
    It's definitely due to the itunes 9.2 update in June. I get the same itunes restore and sync errors you have on Windows Vista and Windows 7. It only starts restoring and syncing properly on Windows XP. I've tried downgrading to an itunes version that worked for me on Vista before, but Apple have updated the ipod touch firmware so that its not supported anymore by the earlier versions of itunes.
    Apple phone support is a waste of time. They want to charge me £25 before they are interested in helping as they say my ipod is out of warranty - but its not the ipod that's broken, its the poorly written ITUNES, so why shouldn't I get free support for itunes even though my IPOD, which is perfectly fine, is out of warranty?!
    Truth is, now apple has your money, they don't care...

  • IWeb wont work after MAC OS X upgrade, and restore from backup

    I upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5.2, and reinstalling iWeb 08, and restoring my website from backup, iWeb does not recognize my existing website. When I opened iWeb for the first time, it had the option for creating a new website, not recognizing my existing website. I could not see an option to "open" or "import". How can I get it to recognize my existing iWeb website?
    We website is located in my <user home directory> Root directory. I have also tried placing it in the <user home>\Sites directory and relaunching iWeb with no success.

    I made a full backup of the hard drive before I repartitioned it for MAC OS X. I Once the install completed, I copied over the <user>\Domain-Name. I wasn't aware of the one in >library>application support. I went and looked on my backup and could not see anything resembling my domain name or iweb under >library>application support. Can you give me a little more information on this or where it could possibly be? I'm sure that I'm really close to getting this figured out.
    Thanks!

  • Win 7 minimize and restore error

    Hello,
    This error is somewhat similar to another just recently mentioned on this board here: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabWindows-CVI/Window-Minimize-and-Restore-issue/td-p/3085541, but not quite the same.
    When running an application on Windows 7 created by LabWindows/CVI 2012 SP1, I have the problem of after the main execution window is minimized, that when it is restored the application is not responsive and I get the Windows spinning donut of doom. The application is sending commands to hardware via a USB serial port and waiting for responses. It all works fine, and many times even when minimizing and restoring the main window to open Notepad to write something down.
    But sometimes, when restoring the main application window, it just never responds again. I have to go to Windows Task Manager to kill it.
    In the main app, once connected to the hardware, it is reading data from the hardware to display as a graph on the screen based on a 1-10 second timer trigger.
    Thanks for any help,
    Rich

    Kevin,
    It occurs with an executable built with CVI. I have attached images of the two tabs from the Build Options window.
    The distribution is being built as a 32-bit executable, since the main place it will run is on the 32-bit tablet.
    Running it on the desktop is mainly for testing in the lab. But the laptop is also sometimes used with it in the field, so that one is important.
    Thanks,
    Rich

    getting a "The media is write protected, (error code 0x80070013) " error. I have even tried to reformat the external drive with no luck in solving the problem. In doing some web searching I did come across someone with a similar problem running a Windows 7
    beta last year that appeared to have be fixed by an beta update. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

  • Using iTunes Plus to upgrade and restore music

    I had a bad computer crash a few months ago, lost all purchased music, then found said purchased music for upgrade in iTunes Plus. Purchased the upgrades, but they are nowhere to be found on my iTunes. Do I need to re-purchase the songs, or can I find them somewhere in the abyss that is iTunes?

    The iTunes Plus upgrade process works by your purchased history, and does not care if the pre-upgrade versions are still in your library or not.
    First look on your hard drive and see if the Plus versions are there somewhere. If you paid for the upgrades and did not receive them, contact iTunes Customer Service:

  • Help with lost pics and contacts in upgrading and get error message when I try to restore.

    I lost all pictures and contacts when I upgraded my iphone 4 (for the first time).  I did not download anything because I was using a friend's computer.  I read that apps not in itunes would be lost, but not pictures and I had 1500.  Every time I attempt to restore, I get error messages.  Please help!

    If you don't have a sim card in the phone, you won't be able to activate it. You can't activate any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim itself need not be activated, but it must be valid & present.

  • Upgrade and Restore?

    I've been following this forum over the weekend. I've got the new OS but haven't yet installed it. I'm a bit confused about a couple things and wondered if someone could explain.
    1) Upgrading is bad: Why do they offer an upgrade path if it obviously doesn't work?
    2) Backup / Install / restore : what good is this? I don't want to have to reinstall every software application I've purchased and installed over the last 8 months. Are you guys saying there is a way to do this without physically having to reinstall all applications?
    I'm hoping this is not as serious as most of you sound, but at the moment this seems much worse than any Windows upgrade I've ever done. Can anyone tell me the best possible update path that won't require me to reinstall Parallels, Maple, Final Cut Pro, Aperture, and the other 20 or 30 apps I've got?
    Thanks,

    Upgrade is usually much more troublesome than a clean install. In order to make things work again in the new OS, you have to consider every possible thing. If you neglect one thing, it is a potential error while upgrading. People call that bugs, if it is found after the release. However, it is quite a big one using Leopard upgrade path.

    Due to the big issue with upgrading, the best choice we have at this moment is "archive and install", or back up everything manually using something like SuperDuper before "erase and intall". And then use the migration assistant to import the old programs after the Leopard is fully functional.
