i was trying to load iOS 5 onto my phone and it has jammed. It is showing the cable pointing towards the ITunes logo but I can't do anything. I have tried restoring the software but with no luck.
I recently purchased a Factory Unlocked iPhone 4S and got it with iOS 5.1 (Purchase was through a relative in USA and brought to India). There was an update to iOS 5.1.1 which iTunes asked me to updated to. iTunes after downloading the firmware gave me error 3194. I live in India and i also have an iPad 2 which i am able to restore to the latest firmware using the same methord.
Info: iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1, Unable to Update or Restore iPhone
I have a an iPhone 4s 5.1. I have just recently updated from iOS 5.01. I kept getting messages saying that i had purchased songs that hadnt transfered and asking if i wanted to transfer them to itunes. i said yes and it immediately said it detected a device but it couldnt read it properly. so i attempted to restore it to factory settings. (after switching out USB cables and uninstalling/reinstalling itunes) i hit restore and it asked if i wanted to restore and i hit yes only to have a pop-up detailing all the new features on the 5.1 update. i cannot get past this point.
I has just performed an update ( the first in nearly 9 months) on my I phone 4.After the update it went automatically into "Restore" After 5 mins or so it failed with an error 1603 ?
My I phone is literally dead. I tried upgarding the software yestreday, it refused saying there was an error, I was given an option to restore it, it has failed. Now there is no old software as well as the new software. Its showing a plug and an Itunes signal on top. Thats all that it has.
I have an iPhone 3GS and I wanted to restore it to restart some of the games that I have completed but whenever i try to it goes most of the way then says unable to restore.
I just got a new iPhone 4S yesterday due to a speaker that wasn't working.The Genius Bar helper confirmed that I had backed up everything yesterday morning and so last night he deleted my old iphone material and then restored on the new phone. However, the restore, when finished, didn't include a lot of apps and some data was missing.if I can still try to restore it? Don't know how or why this happened.I had it set to store all data.It also didn't restore to the newest software although it had been upgraded.
Recently, I upgraded my iphone 4 software into 5.1.1, I believe at some point I got an error about "not being able to contact the software server" but I deemed it unimportant since the upgrade followed successfully, except afterwards, I only was able to sync via wi-fi, since when my iphone was connected, I got NO options except "Eject" ( the name of the iphone is apparent, but when i click on the devide, the big screen where there should be options such as "restore" and "search for update" only has the writing "Iphone" on a gray background) I thought it was something about the wi-fi sync I hadn't used before, googled for others that have the same problem, only found one outdated post where the person said they solved the problem on the phone with an apple representitive and after a "recovery" and restore, the phone was fine.
So I have put my phone in recovery mode, plugged it into Itunes, where it cannot "contact the software server". Is there any way I can restore my phone without using Itunes? Because apparently that wont work... (Oh, I tried a million solutions for contacting the software server error too, my "hosts" file is clean, I added and later on removed a dns of apple, I started using the dns 8.8.8.8 for my connection, etc. and nothing worked)
Also, "calling" anywhere is kinda the last resort because I am not from the United States so it would be skype all the way.
I had an IPhone 3gs earlier so I synced and backed-up the phone and then attempted to restore the phone to see if I could eliminate the problem. After the restore and software update, it brought me to the "Set up your IPhone" page and I selected "restore from the last backup on my iphone" then clicked "continue." It started to restore from backup and everything appeared to be running like normal, but when it was finished and my phone restarted, my apps and songs were deleted but my pictures/wallpapers/contacts were still on the phone. In addition, instead of my itunes returning to my Iphone's library, it returned to the "Set up your IPhone" page like the restore never happened. I have tried to restore from backup multiples times after that but I end up with the same result so I cannot access my iphone's library on my itunes to add any of my songs back since the restore didn't bring any of it back. Does any know how to fix it?
I have updated my software on my iphone and when it was done it is at the setup screen with the iTunes icon and usb on the screen. So I tried to restore I get this error message. The iPhone could not be restored. an unknown error occurred (29) what do I do now?

Why can I not restore my contacts and photos from my PC's backup? I backed up my iphone 3Gs to my desk top PC. When I try to restore from Backup on to my iphone 4s I can not get my contacts and photos back. Itunes keeps telling me my backup password is incorrect.
Info: iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1, I can only recover my apps.
I updated my 3GS iphone in itunes and was not able to restore the phone after numerous attempts...error 29 continues to appear even after following all instructions.
