IPhone :: Activating On Home PC (iTunes) But Restoring Data
Jun 21, 2010
My iPhone 4 shipped, yay! This is my first iPhone upgrade and have never needed to restore the backup from my 3g to a new phone. So my question is. I have my new IP4 shipping to my house but I sync with iTunes on my work computer.
Can I activate my new IP4 on iTunes on my home PC in the evening when I get home to my shiny new phone and then restore all my settings, data and apps from my work PC iTunes the next morning at work? Or do I need to just wait until I get to work to activate the new phone?

I followed the unlocked instruction from AT&T to restore my 3GS iPhone from factory settings. After completing restoring, follow the steps to set up the phone and stuck at activation screen. I inserted AT&T SIM card and connected to iTune but still failed to activate with following error message on iTune: "There is no SIM card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate. Please disconnect and insert a SIM card in the iPhone." I have retry several times (including disconnect and reinsert the sim) but no luck.

The two iPhone 4s I ordered will be here tomorrow to be activated on a family plan for me and my brother. Email from AT&T with activation instructions mention connecting to iTunes. If they are activated on one iTunes account, can one be transferred to a different iTunes account later? Reason I'm asking is because I'm a telecommuter so will be home and can take care of it all tomorrow. My brother doesn't get home from work until 7:30 pm so wondering if I should wait to let him activate his own phone or not. He has his own computer....I need to ask him if he has an iTunes account.
Does it matter one way or the other? If we keep both on one iTunes account, how do apps work? Do they install on just one phone or will they install on both? Right now I have a bunch of free apps selected but I image one or the other of us will want to buy something eventually.

I called AT&T about 15 days to request an unlock for my iPhone. Yesterday I got the confirmation email explainig that the IMEI number was unlocked and that I should follow this steps to unlock it:
To complete the unlock, simply:
1. Open iTunes on your Mac or PC and verify that you have internet connectivity.
2. Connect your iPhone using the dock connector to USB cable that came with your iPhone.
3. Backup and restore your iPhone using iTunes . [url]...
4. After restoring, your iPhone will be unlocked.
Well I have done that. And the iPhone won't activate. I have inserted my sim card from Argentina (TELECOM PERSONAL is the company) but when I connect to iTunes it gives me this message:
Your request couldn't be processed. We are sorry, but there was an error processing your request. Please try again later. I have, too, tried to do it through the iPhone, in the activation screen (where it is stuck, by the way) but the same, error message.

Is it possible to regret restoring a previous synchronization on a iphone in iTunes? I connected my iphone to my computer for the first time today, after using it for several months, and i accidentally pressed the restore button and all my settings, pictures, notes etc. disappeared. Instead i only got a few things from the last iPhone i had... Is there any way to get a hold of the content i lost? I have saved it to iCloud, but i don't have a mac to open it with. Is there any other way to transfer it to the iPhone?

Before I activated my new iphone 6+ today ... I backed up my old iphone 4 into my computer through itunes.Â
After activation I went into itunes to restore today's backup into the new phone and the backup from today vanished.Â
Part of the problem may be that when I plugged in the new phone itunes asked me to update their software in my computer.Â
Is there anyway to retrieve my backup from today?Â

I seem to have lost my data in iphone 5s. It is asking to either setup as a new phone or restore from itunes backup. The last back i did was today afternoon when everything was intact. But once the iphone was connected to itunes, it automatically started backing up the device with no data (as it was wiped out), now when I attempt to restore from itunes backup all it does is restore from the latest backup.This afternoon's successful backup does not seem to get listed in the list of backups. The reason for doing backup is to restore when in need.

I bought a new iPhone4S. I took around 1.000 pictures with it right off the box. When I went on syncing it for the first time I restored the data from my old iPhone3G instead of creating a 'new phone' and now it doesn't show any of the new pictures I took on the iPhone4S.
Can that be reversed so the new photos are recovered?

I had not backed up my phone in several years and was unfamiliar with the process. I opened Itunes and connected my iphone. I hit restore phone instead of backup. Not smart. Now, I have all the data on my phone from my last back up from 2011. How can I recover the original data that I was trying to backup?
