I restored my iPhone 4S recently and used iCloud backup that was about a half hour old. After the restore I got a popup on my phone that was asking for my Apple ID and password, the weird thing is there was already an email in the Apple ID field, the email that was there I have never seen in my life, and I don't know anyone by the name that was in the email.
I have an iphone I would really like to use. It has been sitting for about a year. The previous user did not give us her icloud password and her account was not removed from the phone before she left the organization. I would really love to reset the phone and reuse it, but I do not know the password.
I forgot the passcode for my iPhone, and sent it to a shop for it to reset. Now as I open it, I have to log in with an Apple-ID I don't know of. Is there some way I can reset the whole phone and disconnect it to the Apple-ID?
After I replaced display on my iPhone 5s I tried to restore it from iCloud. But during restore it asks me to enter password for unknown apple ID rabbitde@hotmail.com. I have restored my iPhone few times before but it's first time I get this kind of message.
I bought it in Apple Store and the device was never jalbroken. Here is the screen shot: [URL] ...
My iphone 4 says connect to itunes. When i connect to itunes it asks me to restore. When I get to the end of restore unknown error (-1) comes up and it goes back to connect to itunes
I keep receiving iMessages from an unknown number. Because I am receiving iMessages, I know the user must have an Apple ID. I have reason to believe this is a secondary number/secondary SIM card of someone I have blocked, so I am curious: is there any way to determine the person's Apple ID if all I have is their number and the random iMessages they have sent me?
I have an iPhone 4 and it says a message that I have to restore the thing for it to receive messages and calls so I followed the warning message and when I restore my iphone the progress bar stuck in the middle and itunes says it could not restore the iPhone because an unknown error occurs error (2). My itunes has the latest version, no problem but that unknown error (2) itunes is saying. I searched the net for solutions but I can't find any.
I have an iPhone 3g with ios of 4.1 and I've got an error of The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An Unknown error occurred (2003) after trying to restore my iphone. I'd tried several times but same result appeared. this is my only phone and I need it so badly.
My phone is stuck in an endless cycle of failing to restore and update. Unknown error (1) keeps occurring. I have done everything on the recommended list.
i tunes said "cannot identify i phone unplug and plug again. to update.It was then downloading software for 17 minutes..and then froze with a usb arrow itunes logo on the screen.I have tried to restore and am getting "cannot restore unknown error has occurred 21"
During the restore from iTunes I get, almost at the end of the restore, the message that iTunes could not restore my iPhone due to an unknown error (1).
Info: iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1.1, On my Mac as well as on a PC
When I try to update an app I type my apple ID password and a box pops up with "Unknown error." but I can still log into my Apple ID elsewhere, so I know the password is right.
I currently have a jailbroken 3GS running on 3.1.3 and I'm satisfied with it. If I want to restore the phone, will iTunes force me to upgrade to 4.0 or will I still keep my 3.1.3? I've heard of 4.0 causing problems (especially on 3GS and 3G models) so I'd rather not upgrade to it.
I'm having big issues trying to bring back to life my iphone 4 that i recently bought from a friend.
The iphone seems dead, without connecting to the mac it doesn't respond either by pressing the lock button or the home button. If i connect the iphone to my macbook pro the display turns on with the silver apple logo for 5 second and then it goes black again for 3-4 secs....and then again with the apple logo as an endless loop.
The phone isn't recognized by itunes, only if I put the device in DFU Lock(6secs)->(lock+home 10secs)->(home 5secs) itunes says that i have to restore the iphone in order to use it but when i click restore it give me an error saying that Itunes could not connect to the server of updates and i should try again later (since I don't have Itunes in english i tried to translate the text of the error).
I'm using the 10.6.1 version of Itunes, I think it's the latest.
edit #1: I figured out that Itunes can recognize the device even if I keep pressing the home button for like 10 secs, the display show the USB cable under the Itunes logo, I think its the recovery mode. Itunes give me the same error if I try to restore the iphone even in this mode.
I was trying to update my iphone 4 to iOs 5...at the point where my phone should have been restored I received the message "iPhone cannot be restored. An unknown error occured (-1)" I have tried to disable my firewall and restart my computer. I have Windows 7. I have retried numerous times to restore to factory settings...the only change in result is (1) not (-1).
I'm not sure if this question has been asked before but I NEED HELP!! My Iphone was recently not able to sync on Itunes. Everytime I would try and sync my music it would disappear from the itues menu but still say 'syncing'. Then I tried to restore it after this failed (by getting an error message) I tried to re-jailbreak it and now it will not leave the Apple logo. I've tried everything I know, hopefully someone else knows something.I Have an Iphone 3g with 3.1.2 firmware on it I believe.
I posted yesterday about being stuck on the apple logo. It somehow worked itself out and I was able to back everything up. Today I noticed that the WI-FI was greyed out and when I went to reset it, it went back to the apple logo and is again locked there.
So I need to restore. I have the 3GS and when I go to restore it is says it will update to 3.1.3. Can someone walk me through how to restore so that it is still possible to unlock/JB?
Hopefully someone can provide a step-by-step way to fix my problem without having to restore.I have a 32GB 3GS with firmware 3.1.2 (SHSH backed up on Cydia), jailbroken and unlocked using Blackra1n/Blacksn0w. I bought this phone back in July/2009 so this phone doesn't have the new bootrom.
The phone has been working fine for months. Just today, I was using the Facebook app and it looked like a call came in and was cut off. The call sent me back to the Springboard and I couldn't detect my cell network (Rogers). I brought up SBsettings and restarted the iPhone. When it restarted, it was stuck on the Apple logo. It sometimes take minutes after a crash for the springboard to come up so I waited and waited. After about 10 minutes I sense something is not right. I reset the iphone (power+home) and tried it again. No change. the iPhone is stuck at the Apple logo.
I hooked it up to my computer at work to see if the PC can recognize the phone being hooked up (and maybe I can SSH into it to fix it), but the iPhone doesn't get recognized.
So is there a way I could fix this problem without having to restore (I'm at work, so I can't do a restore until I get home tonight anyway). Also, if I'm forced to do a restore, what happens to my pictures and videos that's on my phone?
Edit: After having the iPhone stuck at the Apple logo and hooked up to the PC for the last 10 or so minutes, I see a wait icon appear frozen just below the Apple logo (they are almost on top of each other). But the wait icon is frozen and not moving. I'm not sure what this means but the iPhone seems to be stuck still.
