Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Ok I have noticed alot of the same posts but my iPhone 3Gs is restarting every second not minute. It started when I went to restore my phone cause i saw for some odd reason i had over 2gb of memory being waisted by "other" what ever makes that up, anyways so after i restored it I told it to restore from back up ever since then it keeps restarting. help please :-/ ???😕😟
iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1
Try to put it in recovery mode to restore it. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
but the application aparently doesn't want to work for me so i can't follow the video
What operating system do you have?
Hmm, yes. It seems to be problematic, since the site has this to say about running Mono (Mac):
"The iPhone Backup Extractor on OS X
In order to use the iPhone Backup Extractor on OS X, users must have the Mono framework and X11 libraries installed. Users of OS X 10.5 will have the X11 libraries already installed by default.
Once Mono is installed, users should open a Terminal window and navigate to the directory with the unzipped backup extractor (
cd ~/Desktopmono iPhoneBackupExtractor.exeSome OS X users may find the extractor reports an error when run, complaining about X11 libraries. If this error appears users are advised to create a symlink from
/usr/X11/usr/X11R6sudo ln -s /usr/X11 /usr/X11R6If you are using Mono 1.2.4 you may encounter an error stating Mono.Data.SQLite.dll cannot be found or similar. This would seem to be a bug in Mono 1.2.4 which can be worked around by copying the file /Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/2.6.4/lib/mono/gac/Mono.Data.Sqlite /2.0.0.0__0738eb9f132ed756/Mono.Data.Sqlite.dll into the folder where you unzipped the iPhone Backup Extractor.
There are instructions to uninstall Mono on OS X here. Unfortunately, we cannot offer support for questions on Mono."
If I were doing it, I would probably solve it even using this software which has a known bug. But it's now up to you if you want to continue. I really wish I had something more helpful to say. 😕
OsX 10.6.8 and from my digging the extractor needs the mono framework and X11 Libraries but to get the X11 I need an older opporating system witch i do not have
If it were me, I would copy the backup to a usb/thumb drive and take to a friends computer running Windows and try to use it there. Otherwise, you would need to contact their support for help (there's a contact link on the bottom of the help page).
yep that and the fact that I am not a progam writer and 70% of all of this makes not sence
It just hit me that i do have a G4 imac with older sofware so imma go try something see if it works found that it has X11 on the older mac just going to eathernet the other files over
iPhone 3Gs keeps restarting ever second I've tried everything that I possibly could but nothings working...
