Backup Restore Failed After iOS5 Upgrade

I did the iOS5 install on my iphone 4 yesterday and it went off perfectly. However, this evening, I did the same on my wife's iphone 4. Prior to doing the download, I did a Backup and a Restore Purchases. When the process came to the Restore point, I received the error message that the restore from backup had failed. Each time we plugged the phone back into itunes, it prompted us to complete the restore process but with the same message. Consequently, my wife's phone lost all contacts, photos, and apps. I manually re-entered her contacts, plugged back into itunes, and performed another backup. We then attempted to restore from backup once again with the failure message following. I'm almost sure that we cannot recover her photos, but if anyone on the forum has a suggestion, we'd appreciate it. Also, what is the safest and most surefire way to backup photos and contacts on the iphone 4 ? JEFF

My husband updated my phone on the 15th... same identical thing happened. I've lost all photos, text messages, and contacts since the las backup. It did download 5.0, but I lost everything. I spent 2.5 hours on the phone with an apple advisor and they needed to research it further and would call me back......hasn't happened yet. If they find a way, I will post it. What error message did you receive... mine was (-50).

Backup Restoration fails on MSSQL2005(SP2) on windows 2003 IA64 in ECC6.0

Hi ,
           Iam trying to resore backup of my MSSQL2005 server from a Ultrium 3 tape drive but it's getting failed. Iam able to take the backup sucessfully and Iam able to see the content on the tape0 from SQLStudio Manager. When I try to restore the problem coming, OS is 2003 IA64 and SAP is ECC6.0.
Following error occurs on a pop up.
           An exception occured while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch.
         Additional information.
          Timeout expired. The time out period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
            So we have increased the time out with the command SET LOCK_TIMEOUT 3600; but still no use, we are getting the same error.
I have raised a OSS Mesage but the gentlemen expect the error in SQL 2005 Studio Manager, He say's it's not supporting 64 bit OS. So he suggested to install a 32 bit OS and access the 64 bit database. So I have tried the same , I am able to take backup and view the content on tape. When I try to restore it's giving SQL 3201 error. But this error doc. from Microsoft is not giving any exact reason and it's not maching my case.
Thanks &Regards,
Hari.

Dear Hari,
I also faced same problem and till i did not find solution.
To resolve this issue we did the restore through command line option.
If i will get the solution through management studio i will update it here.

Backup restore failed

please need help. after a firmware update, my phone e61i does not restore the backup from "backup.arc" file. restoring takes about 1sec and phone wants to be restarted, but after that no data has been restored. what should i do, i've lost everything.

Can't restore my iPhone 3GS (w/iOS5); backup session failed.

I'm practically at wits end, here.
For two days I've been trying to restore my iPhone 3GS and so far, nothing.
The problem happened after I downloaded and updated my iPhone with iOS5. When I tried to restore it from one of three back-ups that I had, I ran into
that error (-50). Managed to get passed that and tried again. When I did, I get the message saying "iTunes could not restore the iPhone ****** because the backup session failed."
It doesn't just do this for my most recent back up; it does this for ALL of my back-ups. Is there any kind of fix out sure-fix for this (barring getting a new phone)?! I think I've tried several strats that I've seen in other threads and nothing has worked.
(btw, the comp that I'm using primarily is Windows Vista)

*update* GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE! Turns out that I was able to restore my phone from a back up, after two days at it!
Unfortunately, the back up was from a year ago! At this point in time, I'm just glad to have my contacts back, though I feel that now would be be best to make sure I keep backing up my phone to make sure this doesn't happen again o.O

Hi there HotFerrari,
It sounds like you are unable to restore your device from a backup you have in iTunes. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:

IPhone - wipe & restore "backup session failed"

I have an old first generation iPhone (os version 3.1.3) that I replaced last year with an iPhone 4. I want to wipe it clean and let my daughter use it just as an iPod. I've done a factory restore a few times on this, but can't get it to a usable state. After restoring, it is stuck on the "plug the usb cable into iTunes icon" screen. Every time I try to sync or backup I get the "iTunes could not back up the iPhone ... because the backup session failed" error, and I can never get the phone to the home screen.
Note I don't care about any old data or phone access, i just want it wiped clean and installed with the games my daughter likes. I've tried my wifes MBP, and my Mac Pro desktop; I've tried deleting old backups manually from ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup and the lockdown file from /var/db/lockdown, and creating a brand new administrator account on my Mac and trying to get it to work from there. No luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Note the iPhone mounts in iTunes just fine, but any attempt to backup/sync it fails, and the iPhone never dispalys the home screen

Itunes could not restore the iphone because the backup session failed

Hello,
i did a backup for my data on itunes, then i upgraded to IOS 6.1, when i tried to restore my backup it keeps giving me this message:
"itunes could not restore the iphone because the backup session failed".
although i still have the data in the backup folder, i searched the internet for softwares that can recover my data, i found a software called "Wondershare Dr.Fone"
i was able to recover all my data via Wondershare Dr.Fone, but it didnt restore the data to my iPhone, it only recovered it to my pc, as (media files, contacts,etc...)
i was wondering if there is any way to fix this problem, or any other way to restore my backup to my iPhone device without using Itunes...
one more thing , can i upload the backup files that i have on my pc to iCloud, then recover it from my iPhone??
please help i really need all my data to be back on my iPhone, media,messages,contacts,notes, even whatsapp messages.
Thank you

IOS 5: iTunes could not restore the iPhone "John's iPhone" because the backup session failed."

I've been battling to get my iPhone onto iOS 5 for 2 days, during which time my phone has been rendered unuseable, and is stuck on the set up menu. When I select "Restore from iTunes Backup," it tells me to connect to iTunes, so I do. I've tried to back it up 20 million times, and I think sometimes it failed, but other times the backup worked. But then, when I go to restore, I get the error message "iTunes could not restore the iPhone "John's iPhone" because the backup session failed.
So what do I do. My phone is unuseable and it doesn't seem like theres any solution.
Also, are you able to tell whether or not I've lost all of my data that is not my music/apps. Please tell me if you think I have.

Good luck. My iPod Touch did the same thing. I now have a very expensive paperweight that I'd like to stuff up someone's nose over at Apple. The "resolutions" offered by Apple don't do anything for me (they never do). There are a variety of resolutions that others have discovered but none of them have worked for me either. This is my second Touch and the second major malfunction that is probably unfixable. If I can't get this fixed and get my data restored I'll probably give this thing to my toddler to play Angry Birds and I'll go buy a device from a company that knows what their doing.
Do a search on Google (or whatever) with the error message and you should find some suggestions from others who've had this problem, some seem to have found solutions. If I find a fix that actually works I'll make a follow-up post.

Well, first off, you are not addressing Apple here. This is a user to user PUBLIC forum. You should not post your personal information like that. Try closing iTunes, reboot the computer and connect again. Are you using the latest version of iTunes, v11.1?

My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

I was having the same problem, I backed up my phone and then updated to iOS 5 and then it kept telling me it could not restore from my backup as it had failed. After reading a bunch of forums and posts and trying everything, I did manage to get it to work. I had tried the Time zone, creating a new computer user account, disabling anti-virus, etc.
It took a combination of things, one of which was disabling the anti-virus completely and copying the contents of the backup folder to my desktop and then deleting everything in the backup folder. Then I rebooted the PC, entirely disabled the anti-virus, copied the one backup I wanted to restore from the desktop to the backup folder and then trying to restore. Low and behold the phone said restoring from backup and I am back in business, so when in doubt, trying combining some of the fixes together.

Restoring from Backup-"backup session failed"

Hello, everyone.
I recently upgraded to iOS 4.1, and now I can't restore my iPod from a backup.
When I attempt to, I get the error message:
"iTunes cannot restore "The Awesome iPod of Pure Awesomeness" because the backup session failed."
Yes, that's what I named my iPod.
After searching a bit, I couldn't find any threads in this forum or results from Google about how to resolve this. Could anyone here help me?
EDIT: To clarify, restoring from backup worked in all previous iOS versions.

As for the battery problem, if your ipod touch/iphone has multitasking capabilities, try holding down the home button for four seconds, finding the Game Center icon in the list of currently running background apps,then stopping the "Game Center" process in the background by tapping the minus sign at the top left of the icon. But I'm also annoyed at this firmware update.
