What happens if I click 'continue restore'?

Hi, I recently updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5, but it wasn't a smooth transition at all - at first it took forever before the download actually completed and didn't lose contact with the server mid-download, then once it had downloaded and the iPhone had been backed up and reset for the new iOS I lost contact with the servers again, leaving my iPhone iOS-less. When I eventually got iOS 5 onto it iTunes stopped recognising the iPhone so I lost all my data. When iTunes randomly decided to recognise it again a couple of days later it started to restore all my data, but stopped mid-way through and I had to reset the iPhone by holding the home and lock buttons for 10 seconds. After it rebooted and I connected it back to iTunes it synced all my music, messages, photos, apps etc back to my phone, but my contact info was still missing. When I next connected my phone to iTunes I got a pop-up saying "iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPhone "Harvey's iPhone". Would you like to restore again now?" which I am reluctant to press in case I a) lose any data created since the partial restore such as messages and/or b) have to go through any of the above happening again! So can anyone tell me what happens when I press 'continue restore' and if I will lose any of my data?
Thanks in advance, Harvey

no Apple employees watching this?...

  • Trying to synch my ipod and getting message that a file is corrupt and can't communicate.  Trying to restore ipod but nothing happens when I click on restore. What now?

    After following all of the instructions in the help site I get the ipod to the Disc Mode but nothing happens when I click on restore. Help, my wife thinks I'm sabotaging her ipod.

    When you have a compatible Numbers file in icloud (from Numbers on a mac), then when you invoke Numbers on a device, that file immediately shows up in the main window that lists all documents in Numbers.  (Same thing for Pages.)
    I haven't used Numbers, only Pages, so I just made a test.  Created a Numbers file on the mac and "move to" iCloud.  On my iPhone, the file didn't show up - hmm.  Then I remembered I had turned off wifi and in settings have 3G data for documents turned off.  When I turned on wifi and went back to Numbers, the file appeared.
    I suspect you need to import the Excel file into Numbers and then save it as a Numbers file to iCloud, using "move to".

  • My toolbars are mostly empty. What happened? How do I restore the original settings?

    My toolbars are mostly empty. What happened? How do I restore the original settings?

    * If, on Windows, in Firefox 3.6 the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down or press F10, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
    * Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click on it to make that permanent. See [[Menu bar is missing]]).
    * Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
    * If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to one of the toolbars.
    * If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button

    i bought my iphone 4 about a year ago and just decided to upgrade it to ios5 just recently. My phone restored to to its factory settings and when I clicked continue restore from back up it is now asking a backup password which i dont remember setting up one. I am currently using a windows vista PC. How can I retrieve the password or restore all my old data into the new OS. I have been reading blogs about the same situation and is it true that it is one of apple's bugs?

    It is NOT a bug.  You provided a password.  If you can't remember it, you can't restore your phone from backup.  Very simple.

  • What happens if I click on recovery 10.9.1

    I am having problems with booting my wife's 2010 iMac. It never boots completely. I gets to a point where the screen flashes over and over a message something about opening (or not) windows which were open when I shut down.
    When I hold the OPTION key at startup I get the 'option' to start up with my system hard drive or Recovery 10.9.1.
    What happens if I click on Recovery 10.9.1?

    OK!
    Then what happens? I'm primarily concerned with the data that's on the Mac HD. Does it get erased or changed in any way?

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • What happens when I click "Order" - SRM 5.0

    I have a scenario where shopping carts were marked complete, but purchase orders were not created. We had some application server problems, and RFC connections were working intermittently for a short while - which caused this problem. The shopping carts create local purchase orders in SRM (not in ECC).
    SO, I am trying to determine where this process could have been broken. We have the case where I can click on the trash can to delete a shopping cart that does not have a PO, and I can view the details of the shopping cart and note that there are no follow-on documents. However, when I try to delete this shopping cart, i get a warning message saying that deletion is not possible, because follow-on documents exist.
    Is there some user exit, some job that was called and failed, some workflow that is triggered, etc?
    I have tried to run every possible job, have reviewed all workflows, and can not find any error. I had all users recreate and reorder their carts, and the problem is solved - BUT I don't know the root cause of this, and do not truly understand what happens between clicking "order" and the workflow in the PO to auto approve (as we are using Procurement cards, and the workflow is being triggered to auto approve). In the case noted above the cart is ordered and approved, but the PO is not created and the PO auto-approval workflow is never started. (I can't retrigger because no GUI-ID is being generated either).
    Anyone have any thoughts?!?

  • What happened to right click on file name in Indesign CS4?

    I just upgraded to CS4, does anyone know what happened to being able to right click on indesign (open) file name to see where on your system it is filed? I can still do this in other programmes.

    Firefox doesn't have such context menu entries for "Open Bookmark ...". So it looks that there has been a problem with the extension that added them and that started working again.

  • What Happens If I Click Restore In iTunes?

    Hi,
    I just ran the 2.0 update on my iPod Touch. A few things are messed up, so I'd like to wipe my iPod Touch and re-sync everything again from scratch. What I don't want to do is restore it from a backup.
    What I'd like to know is, what exactly does the Restore button in iTunes do? Will it wipe off my 2.0 update? Will iTunes keep trying to restore my iPod Touch from its backup?

    I solved the problem. No need to reply.

    If I click on the "sync" button while "manually manage music and videos" is checked in the options section on the summary page in itunes, what will happen?
