My iphone won't restore - 1
Okay so long story short my grandparents have been holding an iPhone 3GS for me. It was previously owned (i don't know if that has anything to do with my problem) but the only screen that shows up is the "connect to itunes" screen and i have… I've tried to restore it 4 maybe 5 times but everytime i got a notification thing saying that there was an error so i clicked more info and my itunes is up to date and everything. And i've tried to google it but that was just telling me the same things that the itunes help was telling me… So if anybody knows how i can do this could you please help me?
My friend as a 3GS too and her's does the same thing and she says its cause its so old and it needs an upgrade so maybe it's that?
You have to take it in to a carrier to get it activated anyway, let them fix it for you.
- When you restore an iphone from itunes backup does it restore messages? I need to restore my iPhone 4S in iTunes, will I lose my messages or will it leave the messages from my most recent back up?
- My iphone 3gs won't turn on and it won't restore My iphone 3gs won't turn on it is stuck on the apple logo for about 2mins then it says i need to charge it but when i do it has that little flash thing saying its charging for a while, then after a while it goes on the apple logo again. I have put it in dfu mode and tried restoring it but it won't work i have tried charging it but that doesn't work.best answer will get points.
- IPhone 3GS won't fully turn on, stays on Apple logo, won't restore? Earlier today i was simply using twitter on my iphone when it crashed. This has happened before and it usually goes back to the apple logo and turns back on. But this time the screen remained black. I pressed the lock button and the logo appeared, only to have it turn off again, and then back on to the logo. This has been repeating now for hours. I tried restoring it in both Recovery Mode and DFU Mode and it didn't work in either. Anyone have any idea what i could try at this point?
- If you disabled FindMyiPhone to restore your device, will the app be enabled again after the restore? A few weeks ago I upgraded to the iPhone SE and I restored the data from my iPhone 4s onto it. (I had to disable FindMyiPhone in the process). Little did I know that it would be lost/stolen 2 weeks later. Really need to know if FindMyiPhone would be enabled because I want to know if I still have any hope at all finding it. Thanks. I tried the app already… Says it's offline. Been waiting since.
