What's one to do after restoring an iPhone outside home?
Okay.. so some of you may have seen that I posted a thread about getting hit with the white apple logo of death after just moving icons around, and I thought to myself, well I'd rather not have that happen to me.. but thanks to Apple's buggy-*** software (or a 3rd party app which could have caused that too), I'd rather not have some half-arsed backup saved on a work machine or my laptop which I take with me everywhere.. okay so to give you a bit of a scenario:
I have a desktop at home where I do all my phone synchronising (iMac), and I also have a MacBook Pro which I take with me everywhere.. One plan I considered was to keep a back up of contacts, apps, and music on the laptop same as to what I have on my desktop at home (so that WHEN my phone will **** itself I could then restore it to something temporary to keep me through the day), OR what if I was to copy/pasta my backup folder from my iMac which is on
User/Home/Library/Application Support/MobileSync
Has anyone here happened to have tried that? copy over those backup files to another mac or pc, and say try to pick up the backup on an authorised machine?
Be curious to know what you folks use as a backup plan (no pun intended).. or do most of you just not care so much about that?
Well, I finally found out what was going on. Apparently iCloud was stuck trying to recover the back up. So I stopped it and restarted again and it's working fine now.
As for the battery, it seems to be improving each day and I'm quite happy with it.
Hope it helps!

after restoring definitions iphone 3gs does not works
What do you mean by "restoring definitions"?
What EXACTLY is your problem?
"does not works" is just a bit vague. -
After restoring my iphone 4 to factory settings, then restoring from a recent backup, my phone will reboot but keeps coming back to the "new setup or restore from backup screen". How can I by-pass this screen to go directly to the sync apps/music screen?
Well, it's certainly behaving as though the phone that was backed up was synced to a different iTunes library.
I'm going to throw one more thing out there... Yes, you backed it up to this computer... Was the phone previously set up to sync with this computer? Or was it syncing with a different computer and you just backed it up to this one?
You may have to end up setting it up as a new device and rebuilding the phone by manually re-syncing your data, apps, music, etc. to the phone.
Trying to keep your library on a different drive can be tricky. If iTunes starts up and the library isn't available, it may end up generating a new library ID, meaning that you could easily find yourself in exactly the position you're in now...
I'm curious why there was a need to restore your phone to begin with... It may not have any bearing on this at all, but it could. -
how to sign in different iTunes account when it has already been signed into after restoring the iPhone
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
To change the login
- Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
You may have apps purchased with her account that need updating. -

HT201210 What does error 1015 mean when restoring my Iphone 3G?
What does error 1015 mean when restoring my Iphone 3G?
As easily found by googling:
Errors related to downgrading iOS
The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed. Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
In summary: your phone is likely jailbroken. If so, there is no more support available on these forums. -

Hi!
I upgrade my iPhone 5 from ios 7.1 to 7.1.1.
When it finished I wanted to restore with my backup but iTunes says that it can't because incompatible or corrupted.
What can I do then to restore my iPhone?Backups are only used for restoring iPhones via iTunes.
If you desire to go about another method for extracting data from a backup, use google to find out how (if possible) to make that happen. -

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand you have been experiencing issues with your iPhone restarting and showing you a blue screen. I wont be able to give you an exact answer as to why this is happening. However, this is the most relevant troubleshooting article for this issue. This article also provides options to reach out to us via phone for additional assistance.
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it

Enabling VoiceOver after restoring your iPhone with iTunes doesn't work
Yesterday, I was having a problem with my iPhone 3GS and successfully got it resolved by restoring it with iTunes 10.2. Everything went fine. However, after restoring it, I went to set up the device as new (after backing up the iPhone before restoring of course). Since I am blind, I then went and attempted to select VoiceOver under the "configure universal access" section. This is where I ran into the problem. When I selected Voiceover and then hit the ok button, I got a message that said something like "VoiceOver changes the way you use the iPhone jestures. Do you want to continue." I hit continue , and then tabbed to the ok button again. At this point I was brought right back to the dialog box about continuing and realized after several attempts to get out of that screen that I was flat out stuck. Because of the fact that I am totally blind, and not say "legally blind" there was no way I was going to be able to enable VoiceOver on my own. I ended up having to disconnect the iPhone from the computer and have one of my roommates enable voiceover on the iPhone for me. But I keep wondering what happened. I mean it was scary for me, because what if my roommate hadn't been around. I would've had a non functioning iPhone (to me.) Has anyone else had this problem, or would there be anyone who'd be willing to follow the steps that I did (preferably if you have sight) to see if you can get past this screen? If not, then this is a major iTunes bug that Apple needs to know about. Note that I am using a Windows desktop with Vista 32 bit operating system, and JAWS for Windows, (running the latest update of version 12.) Any help/comments would be appreciated. Thanks. Josh
Next time before you sync always do that http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
Right now you may have to reinstall your apps before you do that http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848

After the newest update my email app keeps crashing. When I deleted the account and tried to log back in it would crash and I couldn't log back in. So I tried to restore my Iphone and it fixed some of the other problems I was having however not the email problem. And now it has created a new one, my battery life is bing eaten away far too quickly! If anyone can help please try!!
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
