Won't set up after restore (iPhone original)

Hey guys,
I've got an original iphone that when unresponsive last night. Nothing worked, it just froze up. Even a reset was unresponsive (holding the home and sleep buttons to get it to reboot). So I plugged it into my computer (windows 7 64 bit with itunes 10.5) and performed a restore. The restore gave me an error message, saying the device couldn't be restored. I did some googling and found a trick that if you hold the home and sleep button and get the phone to shut down, you can then close itunes, re open itunes, and plug your phone back in and get itunes to recognize the device in restore mode. So I did that, and then it restored propperly. Now it's got the default itunes, arrow and usb screen up. Everytime I plug it into itunes, itunes recognizes the iphone, but it won't connect to the itunes store. I (sometimes) get an error message saying the network connection timed out, other times nothing happens -- the progress bar goes gray for a second and then I get an empty iPhone screen in itunes.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes -- no dice
I've tried stopping and starting the apple mobile device service -- no dice
I am not having any other network or connectivity issues, I can access the itunes store through itunes on my computer just fine.

I'm doing the exact same thing. Iphone 2g won't connect to the itunes store. I get an error message saying the network connection timed out, but all diagnostics are OK. I've turned off antivirus, firewall, check ie settings, uninstalled/reinstalled itunes... nothing has worked. Have you had any luck? And if so, what did you do?

After restoring iPhone 4, iTunes is telling me that my SIM card is not supported. It is the same SIM I have always used with this phone.

After restoring iPhone 4, iTunes is telling me that my SIM card is not supported. It is the same SIM I have always used with this phone. What action can I take to convince phone that the SIM card is OK?

Hello again, update time.
Finally got to speak to a senior technical advisor at Apple today who was most confused until he back-tracked and double checked all the basics. He then realised that the actual serial number of my original phone (from the proof of purchase I sent him) was different to the one that they had recorded when they made the swap. I think he said it was out by one character and was actually showing as a mobile connected to AT&T (from the States). He said that the replacement phone was then set-up as per the serial number they had typoed into their system as locked to AT&T. The genius who did the swap at Apple Doncaster must have placed an unlock on it at the time in order for my 3 SIM to work at all. Therefore when I restored it, it returned to the settings of the incorrect original phone serial number!
So... Apple tech advisor said he can rectify the records and re-set the factory setting to an Australian iPhone on the 3 network within 12-24 hours. Fingers crossed all is good by tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks for your suggestions though, I had been trying everything to get it to work as I'm sure you know how hard they are to live without once you've got used to living with one!
Cheers, Tom.

Can't send and receive SMS/MMS/iMessages after restoring iPhone from a backup

I can't receive and send any type of messages with my iPhone 3GS (iOS 6.1.6) after restoring it from my old backup (also 6.1.6).
Messages that I'm sending are disappearing immediately after the moment they are sent and they are never delivered. The first time I restored my iPhone I could send and receive messages for 1 day, and I couldn't do it on the next day. This time I was able to send and receive messages for 10 minutes.
I have used the methods Apple recommends for problems like this, but it doesn't help.

Hello StepanyanMuradyan,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot issues with not being able to send or receive messages on your iPhone, I'd like you to please follow the troubleshooting outlined below.
To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
Restart your device.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.

Retrieving paid applications after restoring iphone

hi
while updating my iphone to to the latest software, it encounter an error & i had to restore the phone. had installed some applications & purchased a game but all wiped out after restoring... how do i get the paid game application (cooking mama) loaded to my phone... i hope i dont have to pay for it again cos i've not even had the chance to play with it. my iphone is just 2 days old & i cant understand why error occurs while updating to latest software version. some one pls help.
thanks

Once you purchase an App it's yours, you can re-download it as many times as you like w/o being charged. To prevent this in the future you should transfer purchases from your phone to iTunes so there's a backup for you.

Waiting for Activation message appears after restoring iPhone.

Hello!
I recently restored my iPhone and now it will not connect to any network towers. It keeps saying that I have no service when I usually always do. And it only allows me to connect to wifi. Any suggestions on what to do?

Jenger, thank you so much for trying that out for us. This does seem a little odd to me. I would love to make sure we get you up and running with no issues. Do you have the most current iTunes downloaded on the computer? What I would try to do is try to place the phone into recovery mode through iTunes. The way you can complete this is by powering the phone off all the way. Have the USB plugged into the computer. Plug the device into the USB charger while you are pressing and holding the home button. Keep that home button held down until it pops up on iTunes that "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes". then you will press on Ok, and then Tap on Restore iPhone, then select "Restore and Update" Please keep us posted.

IPhone 5 won't turn on after restore

I have just upgraded from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5.
I backed up my iPhone 4, but when I try and restore the music/pictures/apps etc it doesn't work properly.
I plug in my new iPhone 5, and run through the 'Set Up Your iPhone' but restoring from my backup. It seems to complete the process within 4 minutes, and then says it will turn off and on again and will appear in iTunes. However it turns itself off, but then doesn't turn back on. I press the On/Off button on the top right of the phone and the Apple logo appears, and then goes to black again. The only way to turn my phone back on again is by doing a hard reboot (Home button + On/Off button at the same time). When it turns back it, it's as if its a new phone again - I need to select wifi, my iMessage details etc.
I then go back to iTunes and the restore doesn't seem to have worked, as the 'Set Up Your iPhone' page is back up again.
Weird thing is, I have all of my photos and have found a way to get my apps back - but I have no music, and iTunes still says my iPhone isn't set up.
I am really confused and not sure what to do.
Has anyone experienced something similar and been able to solve the issue?
Cheers

I had the same problem, tried several times, including new backups from my 4s. Ended up unplugging the usb cable and plugging it into another port and the phone came on and finished syncing and putting all my apps and info on my new iphone 5.
2.5 hours of trouble shooting later.
At least everything is in the right spot, all the data is populated and everything looks great.

Find photos from iphone after restore to original settings

So I was having issues after upgrading to OS4 and decided to follow advice to restore to factory settings. This did solve my issues with being able to edit contacts, but it presented a new issue.
I did do a backup of the phone before the restore, but I did not think to import my camera roll photos into iPhoto.
I just checked in ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup to see if I could somehow grab the camera roll photos out of the backup, but was surprised that the only back up that looks to be in there is from after the restore. Is it possible to find an earlier backup to get the photos from? And if so, do I have to restore the phone to that backup or is there some other way to maybe just import the photos to iPhoto or open them with another application? It looks like all the files in the backup are text files.
I looked at a Time Machine backup but that was from an iphone backup about a week ago so there were newer pictures.
Any help would be appreciated.

I think to harvest the camera roll photos from the backup requires you to restore the iphone off the OLD backup, import the camera roll, then restore the iphone off the newer backup to get it back the way you want it.
There are various third-party iPhone Backup Extractors that should be able to pull the photos from the backup file, just FYI. Both Mac and Windows. Of course, since iTunes overwrote the backup file the OP wanted, doesn't really help in this case.
You can manually move the backup files before doing any kind of major syncing, etc, for future needs.

New iphone 4 won't turn on after restoring back up

I cracked my phone screen and so I had to get a new phone just today. So, I was now restoring the back up I created last night on iTunes so I left it alone for a bit while I did some cooking. It sort of "switched off" but had my wallpaper blurred in the background with the message saying "restoring in progress". So I left it alone. Now it's completely off so I assumed the restoration is done. I've tried to turn it on, the Apple logo comes up and then disappears after about 3-5 seconds. Nothing happens afterwards and now I'm stumped. How do i turn it on? Please help asap thanks

Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.

IPod touch won't turn on after restoring it to factory settings!!

I restored my ipod touch 3g (32 gb) to factory settings last night because I'm supposed to be selling it to someone today, but now, more than 12 hours later, it won't turn on! I only get the start up screen with the apple logo and that little loading sign but nothing else! I tried pressing the home and top button all at once but nothing changes! Any sort of help would be much appreciated!!!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

Does iCloud store data after restoring iPhone and recovering data afterwards

I had a few glitches/ errors with my iPhone 4S, so I took it to the Genius Bar to see what they said. To cut a long story short, they said I should start restore my phone and start it from new as my previuos backup was corrupted. I know how to put all my music/apps/films but I was wondering how iCloud would work.
I have several apps which backup data to iCloud which I would need, can I just accsess all of that with after I restored my phone? What would be the best thing to do? Also, how does images work, I know I can backup them up on my computer and put them back on, but could I just accsess them from Photo Stream?
Or, what would be the best practise for getting back all my files and data on a newly restored phone?
Thanks in advance and sorry for a long post,
tristan_cook

Hello.
If somehow your data has not been restored, you can go to Settings>general>reset>Reset all contents and settings. (WARNING- This will erase everything on your phone, so only do it if you take an iTunes backup beforehand atleast)
After this the iPhone will start the set-up wizard at the end of which you can choose to restore from iCloud backup.
Note that you will only get the complete cloud backup if you select restore from iCloud backup and not Set up as a new phone or Backup from iTunes.
Please keep in mind the restoring 3 GB of data will take a lot of time depending on your connection, and will not happen if the phone loses connection to your Network inbetween.
Good Day!

HELP PLEASE !!! Lost all data (contacts,photos,etc etc) after restoring iphone 4

My girlfriend trusted me to update her iphone to ios 6 (silly girl) and alhough thats been installed I have managed to erase all her contacts, photos etc etc.
The process started off smoothly. After connecting to itunes it found automatically that it needed an update to ios 6 and this started. After a couple of hours the process bar seemed stuck. This is where I think I made the fatal mistake. I disconnected the phone. Im assuming it was during this long process that a back up was taking place. She had more than 2000 photos on it.
So after disconnecting and reconnecting the only option I recieved was to restore phone which I chose. After completion it was the same as setting up the phone for first use. Please note that no back ups were made before this (dumb ***, I know). The only back up I am guessing was the 2 hours before I disconnected the phone.
Is there a way of getting these photos back or are they gone forever. Even if it involves paying a professional to do it I am willing to do so because of the sentimental value of the photos.
Any help greatly appreciated.

She should have been importing all pics taken with the iphone regularly as with any digital camera, most especially before any update/restore/etc.
If she has failed to do this, then they are gone.

RESTORING notepad info and iPhone shot pictures after restoring iPhone

I restored my iPhone after upgrading to 2.0 while trying to correct a problem only to finally solve this problem by re-installing the latest iTunes software at the suggestion of an Apple support tech person. I was aware that data would be erased, etc but was so frustrated by problem at the time I didn't care.
Now I remember some things I had on the notepad I had not 'noted' else where and I also had some pictures I took with my iPhone I would love to have back. Is there anyway I can recapture this information from a backup file, etc?

Photos captured by the iPhone should be included with your iPhone's backup, which is created and maintained by iTunes during the sync process.
Copied from this link.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
+*Backup information includes information such as mail settings, text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, sound settings, widget settings, certain network settings, and other preferences.*+
Photos captured by the iPhone is not included with this list but it isn't a good idea to rely on the backup for photos that were captured by your iPhone. As with any other digital camera, you should import these photos to your computer. Since you have a Mac, you can use iPhoto for this if you use iPhoto for photo storage and if not, you can use the Image Capture application located in your Applications folder to import these photos to the desired location on your hard drive. This way you have a copy of these photos on your computer not relying on the iPhone's backup for this only. If you don't import these photos and your iPhone is lost or stolen, these photos will be lost or stolen with your iPhone. And if your iPhone's backup become corrupt or there is a problem with it, you have a copy of the photos on your computer for access (which can be transferred to your iPhone via the sync process), and you can maintain a backup for these photos separately along with all your other important data.
Did you restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup?
