Error occured while trying to restore this iphone (-50)

I was trying to update my iphone 3G software to 4.2.1 (I was running 3. something before then) and I got a message that said "an error occured while trying to restore this iphone (-50)," and my phone has been wiped clean. This happened after updating my itunes to the latest update.  In itunes, I now have two options, Set up as a new iphone, or restore from "unkown." Not cool! Any suggestions?

This did not solve the issue for me. I am trying to update to 4.0.1

# 127.0.0.1 localhost

I also tried it with the second to last line completely removed, so it was
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
Any other thoughts?

  • "The following errors occurred while trying to open this page." Why?

    Dear all,
    I'm running an online store at http://bubblething.com. I created it with iWeb 08. It crashed and I've been trying to recreate it, partly from images retreived by Apple from their "webarchive" and partly with images created fresh. I But I keep getting a dropdown error box saying "The following errors occurred while trying to open this page." Then there's a list of the missing images, and the images are all crossed out on my page. This seems to be happening unpredictably, sometimes just a few days after I've worked on the page. What's happening? Is it because somehow I've moved files, and the links to the images are broken? Please help!

  • An error occurred while trying to register new iPhone.

    It seems to me that I had this same issue when I tried to register the last iPod I bought. Every time I plug in the new phone, It asks me to register. I use my apple ID log in info and it returns with this error.
    "An error occurred.
    The iTunes Store could not process your request, please try again later."
    I tired logging out of my iTunes account before trying again (something tells me this was the fix for the iPod), but it didn't work.
    Any thoughts?

    i seem to have a similar problem
    when i hook it into the computer it says
    "itunes was unable to load dataclass information from Sync Services"

  • HT201210 CAN U APPLE TELL MW WHY I GET ERROR 1015 WHILE TRYING TO RESTORE MY IPHONE 3G

    PLEASE I NEED HELP
    Why I cant restore iphone 3g I always get error 1015??
    I need HELP RIGHT NOW

    Thx BUT =as-said, I've tried ALL the suggestions - including reading through the link you just suggested/posted (but just for good measure, i've just re-read thru it again!). I noticed from this list the first time i read thru it, that Error 23 didn't appear anywhere on this list of various (numerous!) error numbers. So/ergo, i still don't know (a) what exactly this error IS, (b) how to fix/get past/resolve it.
    I don't have an Apple store anywhere near me. Even if I did, I wonder whether they would (a) be willing to (b) able to fix it @ the so-called Genius bar? Any thoughts on this? (Obviously, if there were an Apple store nearby, I'd go there & try; as-is, it would entail an extra trip & an expense costing as much as buying a new iPhone!)

    Probably you have never experienced this, but I have lost the ability to iMessage.
    When I try to turn on iMessage, it tells me that "an error occurred while trying to turn on iMessage." 
    It's not a huge deal, but people with iPhones can't text me back unless they try to re-send after finding out that their message wasn't delivered.
    Help!
    I think I have gone through every support option available, short of
    Scheduling an appointment at the Genius Bar. But I have been to the store three times in the last three weeks.
    To solve a different problem, the folks at the store replaced my iPhone 4S.
    I came home and loaded my backup onto the new phone. Everything EXCEPT iMessage seems to be working great.
    I would really appreciate any feedback...

    Iphone 5 cant be restored, it shows unknown error -1 while trying to restore and it only display connect to Itune

    Greetings ayokunlefromlos angeles,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that when attempting to restore your iPhone you receive an error and your iPhone shows the Connect to iTunes screen. To begin troubleshooting, I would suggest manually placing your iPhone in recovery mode and attempting the restore. Please follow the instructions located in the attached article to complete this process. 
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Cheers,
    Joe
