Question

set up iphone 4s doesn't finish

I have a refurbished iPhone 4S. It has taken me thru all the set up (language, country, wifi, all okay.

On the Set Up iPhone screen, I selected "Restore from iTunes Backup". (My previous phone was a 3GS.) Next screen says "Connect to iTunes" so I connect the USB cable. Screen says "Connected to iTunes". iTunes appears to sync everything as expected. The phone's screen goes back to "Connect to iTunes" and sits there. I disconnected the cable. Nothing happens. I press the Home button, and a pop up is displayed with 4 buttons: Emergency Call, Start Again, Wi-Fi Settings, and Cancel.

I have tried power off, then power on, but this just starts back at the beginning of the set up (language, country, etc.).

What do I do at this point, please?

Many thanks!!! ..Bill..

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1.1

Solved my problem. 😊

Once I arrived again at the screen with the 3 choices:

Set Up as New iPhone

Restore from iCloud Backup

Restore from iTunes Backup

it occurred to me to try selecting "Set Up as New iPhone", and I was soon onto the main screens with all the icons. Everything had been restored from the iTunes backup of my old iPhone. (I had thought that "Set Up as New iPhone" would wipe everything, but not the case....)

So I'm a happy camper! 😀
