IPhone :: ITunes Keeps Telling Me To Restore After IOS 5 Upgrade Interrupted
Mar 27, 2012
I am trying to upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 5. As my MacPro is still running Snow Leopard, I decided NOT to sync with iCloud but rather with iTunes. Every time I connect the iPhone, iTunes tells me the restore has been interrupted and offers to resume backup. When I do, it starts restoring, restarts the iPhone and then I get same message.... over and over again.
Here's my situation .. recently got the iPhone 6 plus 128GB, an unfortunately it fell out of hand and landed on it's back (with a strong case on), it got no dents or anything.Â
I picked it up and it was off, i tried to turn it on, it didn't turn on.
I connected it to iTunes and it requested me to restore it, after a few minutes a message saying restore error, I do not remember what it said exactly. Now my iPhone 6 plus is not working and iTunes is not recognizing it! Â
My iphone4s will not let me go any further than it saying to plug into itunes....i dont even care about using itunes!! I restored it to its original settings and it still tells me to plug into itunes when i plug it in it tells me that i cant do anything pretty much
I find this is worth doing to stop itunes from upgrading your phone or accidentally upgrading. (if you set a jailbreak up for a friend who might not be wise to JB's worth doing this to them) Download FWChanger from Cydia and set custom firmware, then reboot. I set mine to 3.1.3 and i used build 7E18.
For those who dont know what this prog does, basically it just changes the number of your firmware, and nothing else (as far as i know), so itunes picks it up as your running latest firmware (when really you are not). Now itunes says my software is up to date.
yesterday all of a sudden the home button stopped working then the battery dropped immediately and started saying no service in the top left corner, now it's plugged into the charger and is telling me to plug it into itunes and when i do it says that the iphone is in recovery mode and is not recognized. My phone wont even turn on now!
just got a new iphone 5s and i am trying to get on the app store but it is telling me that not connected to itunes when i connect to itunes it was fine then went back to app store it is telling me sign in to itunes store so i do that with my apple id and password but is still isn't working
I just upgraded my blackberry pearl 9105 to os 6.0 bundle, but when I was upgrading it my internet connection got interrupted and I click the retry when upgrading my phone. After upgrade is done every time I compose a message an "input system error. The system is being restarted" keeps on appearing on my screen. I restart my phone many times.
I tried updating my 4s to 5.1 but it told me there was an error, after that my phone only showed that i should connect to itunes but it isn't showing up on there. Ive tried hard booting it but the same screen keeps appearing.
After attempting to upgrade software for my iphone 4s via itunes, the upgrade failed and my phone froze with a picture of an usb plug.I even uninstalled security on my computer.
if I restore factory setting to my iPhone, is it still possible to restore the backup from itune/ icloud to get the purchased apps and other informations?
I updated iTunes and then tried to update to the iOs5.1 via iTunes. This didn't work so I updated via the phone.
The phone switched off and now it is stuck with a screen that says connect to iTunes. When I connect to iTunes it says the phone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. I have tried unsuccessfully to restore it for the last 3 hours.
Most of the time the phone would disconnect at 9minutes remaining, or it would seem to download completely and I would then get an error 3529.
I tried disabling the firewall but still nothing works.
I downloaded the IOS5 software in the middle of October when the upgrade came out. I backed up everything then. When the new 5.0.1 upgrade came out and I downloaded it last week, I got everything back except for my photos that I took from the middle of October to when I downloaded 5.0.1 last week. how to get the photos lost during this time back? I apologize if this has been answered already and I just haven't found it...I have tried a few things from other posts but have not been successful so far.
i restored my iphone4 to factory settings because it was running slow and some apps werent working. My phone is now stuck in repair mode and is continually rebooting itself. I know the usual solution would be to restore via itunes but itunes will not allow me to do anything as i get the error "itunes cannot find disk"
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 have just upgraded the firmware and have lost everything that was on my phone. I have tried to restore from back up but keeps coming up with "itunes could not restore the iphone "#######" because the back up session failed.
The back up was done just couple minutes before i upgraded and i have also tried previous back ups but none of them work.
Is there going to be a way to get the back up working?
I need to restore my iPhone (currently OS 3.1.2) back to its original factory setting. If I do this through iTune, will I have to upgrade to the new OS 4.0?
I don't wish to do that, as I have a new ibootrom, so I near that jail breaking in the new OS is not yet possible unless I have made some smart decision in the past, which I don't know if I did. Anyway, is there anyway I can restore factory settings WITHOUT upgrading to the latest firmware, ie. keep in 3.1.2?
My iPhone 3gs is stuck in that mode where I can't get pass the white Apple logo even after several hard reboots (holding down the power and bottom center button. After a reboot the white apple logo appears and then it just goes away.I figured out how to get the phone to into recovery mode so that iTunes can do a restore, but I am getting the message that says "Are you sure you want to restore the iPhone to its factory settings" All of your media and other data will be erased and the newest version of the iPhone software will be installed.
Is there any way to do a restore without allowing my iPhone's software to be upgraded to the newest version of iPhone software? I have 3.0 and want to keep it because I use my phone to tether. During the restore phase is there a way to cancel the portion of it that attempts to upgrade my software to the latest software?
I have a problem with the camera on my Iphone 4. I upgraded it yesterday and the camera stopped working after that. I also restored it afterwards when I saw that the camera didn't work. I only get the grey "lens picture" and everything is frozen.
iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes. I've been getting this message while I tried to restore my phone. How can I be done with that?
My iphone dropped out of my pocket onto a carpeted wood deck floor while sitting in a lawn chair (approximately 15-18 inches). When I went to use it next, it wouldn't turn on. I tried a reset (home button and power button) and got a message to plug it into itunes for a restore.I've tried restoring it probably 25 times. I've made sure all software is up to date on my computer. I've restarted my computer about 10 times. When I try to restore it goes through all the motions and looks like it's going to work but ultimately I get an error message(I've had several different errors: 21, 2006 2001) from itunes that says it could not restore it. The only thing that shows up on my iphone screen is a graphic of a USB cord connecting to itunes.
