iPhone 6 Plus with IOS9 impossible to restore back to the top with iTunes on Windows Vista 12.1.2. 5 years of data lost?

Hi guys

I was really grateful for any help on this, I am really at my wits end.

So my iPhone 6 more than 128 GB camera packed a few days ago. I made an appointment to repair/replace the Genius Bar and prior to the appointment back up everything on my phone to itunes on my Windows Vista laptop. All 100 + GB of it. I will mention at this stage, nothing has been saved to icloud (silly me!)

Apple is good enough to replace my iPhone as it was still under warranty. I plugged my new iPhone forward to my laptop to restore to the last backup, in order to receive a message in order to synchronize with the iPhone I have to update iTunes to the latest version. No problem, I thought. I checked for the last download iTunes to receive a message that iTunes is up to date... At this point, I started to panic. So I tried to download the latest version of iTunes from Apple website only to be told that iTunes 12.3 works only with Windows 7 or later... AAAHHHHHHH!

I literally my life on this phone. 5 years worth of data just gone. I can't downgrade the IOS on the phone, and I can't update iTunes on my laptop.

Is there any fine people out there with a solution to this?

Thank you in advance.

Mark

Brand...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the minimum requirement is Windows 7 and iTunes 12.3.3...

    Yes, you can backup your device in iTunes and restore this backup. For detailed instructions, see this support document. Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup - Apple Support

  • Error with iTunes in Windows 10

    So I have a strange problem.

    What is happening is iTunes opens (perhaps more slowly than normal? Unconfirmed), but will enter a strange state. This will be repeated at random, sometimes when the program starts immediately, other times, a few minutes after. It also leaves this State at random, often after a few minutes, but only for a millisecond. Rarely, it will leave for a few minutes. The only way that seems reliable to enter this State is to plug in my iPhone. The only way to leave he must have the Task Manager kill the program, and then reopen it.

    In this State, it will not meet order entries and seems to freeze, but Windows does not recognize it as an error of gel. It will also continue to play any song that was playing before its entry into the State, but not go to the next song, when it ends (it will be however if she leaves the State). If I am interested in another application, although in that State, I can hover over the iTunes toolbar icon and see the screen, but I can't go to iTunes.

    I'm sure it's a question of iTunes, as all my other applications work fine. Reinstalling does not solve the problem but (restart the computer between uninstall and reinstall). I'm kind of at a loss because I have no idea how to solve this problem.

    Details:

    iTunes Version: 12.4.1.6

    OS: Windows 10

    Hardware: ASUS GL551

    See excellent iTunes from turingtest2 for Windows troubleshooting guide at:

    General advice for troubleshooting when iTunes is unable to properly install (and reinstall or repair it does not) are to remove not only iTunes, but ALL the components, restart, remove the target installation files and reinstall.

    Hello

    You're confused system recovery and system restore.

    System Restore makes the settings from your computer to an earlier date; It will not reinstall the operating system.

    System recovery reinstalls the operating system how much you bought your machine; as for the new State.

    Hello

    You cannot use the password to protect the files in Windows Vista. However, you can encrypt the file.

    Encryption is a way to enhance the security of a message or file by scrambling the contents so that it can be read only by someone who has the appropriate encryption key to decrypt it.

    Comments, said the port USB 2 was a port ' always on ', but I can't load my Iphone 6 more if the computer is in standby or off.

    I can load only if the computer is on and not asleep. I tried the various "power management" parameters, but it does make a difference. Any help would be appreciated.

    -From the application (open on the desktop), expand the interface (button at the top right of the gauge).

  • used to synchronize iPhone to 9.3.1 asks only to the restoration of the back to the top

    I recently bought the iphone is. came with ios 9.3. When it is connected to itunes, it will only display to restore to save or set as new iphone. I already saved before swapping of iphones, I saved it anyway. but still the same problem. I have updated to ios 9.3.1. and still has a problem. iTunes is to its latest version. anyone else having this problem?

    Hi not Tavo,.

    Congratulations on the purchase of your new iPhone SE!  I understand that you are having problems syncing your new iPhone with iTunes on your PC.  When you supported your old iPhone originally, you do it via iCloud or iTunes?   I suggest you set up your new iPhone, updated to iOS 9.3.1 and then synchronize with iTunes.  When you enable iCloud on your new iPhone, you'll be able to see your contacts, calendars, etc.   I would add a few resources below for you:

    How to clear your iOS device and then set up as a new device or restore from backups

    Erase your device

    Erase content and settings will remove all data from your device, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and nothing else. All device settings are restored to their factory condition.

    To remove all settings and information from your device, tap Settings > general > reset > erase all content and settings.

    Set up your device as a new device

    After your device is cleared, you should see the following screen:

    Follow the steps to complete the installation wizard. When you are prompted, select "set up as new iPhone." Then tap Next.

    Ignore the Apple sign-in ID, in which case the initial problem was related to any of your content in iCloud.

    After setting up as new, you will need to enter your password for Visual Voicemail for iPhone (on the carriers that support Visual voice mail). If you have forgotten your password, contact your carrier to help you reset it.

    After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory setting. Try again what you were trying when you first found the question to determine if erasing and setting up a new device solves the problem. Contents of the device could have caused the unexpected behavior.

    • If the problem persists, you can contact the Support technique Apple.
    • If the problem is resolved, a type of synchronization of content both on the device. For example, if you had a problem reading music, add songs to iTunes and confirm that they will play. If your contacts have not been loaded successfully, you can add contacts to the rear. After each sync, test to see if the problem is back.

    Sync your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iTunes via USB
