1611 Error on iTunes 10.5 Trying to update to iOS 5 Please HELP!!!

1st off i had an ipod touch 4th gen which was determinted by apple to be hardware defectived. They gave me a new iPod touch 4G no questioned asked. The issue i'm having is my new device is having the same issue my old one was having with the 1611 error. I can not restore at all. Not even in DFU mode which doesn't do anything unless you want a custom firmware which i dont. When i begin the restore process everything seems normal up until it says "preparing ipod for restore" at the point its stuck there until the 1611 error shows up. I've done pretty much everything from uninstalling all parts of itunes, quick time, bonjour, device support, etc. I also changed the host file deleteing the last line. Changing the USB cable. And updating all drivers and software and disabling all security. The only thing i am unable to do is change computers because my older desktop is currently down. If anyone can tell me if the Apple Severs are down? or if there are others having these errors or issues please email me at [email protected] or replying to this post. I would greatly appricate it i've been trying to figure this out for weeks. Thank you, Randy.

Thank you for all of your suggestions. I was able to restore my phone and none of my data was lost. For some reason, all I did was plug in the USB in another location on my laptop after I restarted, reinstall and trouble shooted all of the suggestions given on the iSupport screens. It was a time-consuming effort, but well-worth it not to lose my data. Thumbs up to the iCommunity! Love you guys!

  • TS3694 Tried to update to ios 6 please help

    Tried to update to ios 6 and the download got to 99% before error code 3194 displayed and I cannot reload any software now, please help

    Goto --
    My Computer --> C Drive--> Windows --> System32-->Drivers-->Etc--> Host File
    -Cut (remove) this host file and past it on desktop.
    -Now comeback to itunes - provided you have fresh itune installation after removing it COMPLETELY from your system (Ref- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923?viewlocale=en_US).
    -Plug in your iphone to  your windows via active USB port (no hub) and with good internet connection.
    - Repeat  the ios update process and avoid doing multitasking ( I was lil careful... :)).. And that worked for me ...updation took max 10 min's.
    - Once the ios updation process is done , follow the instructions and complete the ragistration process. restart your iphone and its on ios 6 EnJOY !
    - Put the HOST file back to its original  path.
    If this resolves your problem , Like it :-)

  • Hi, I am trying to update my ipod touch 4th gen. I have downloaded the newest iTunes and each time i try to update i keep getting error 3004 i'm on firmware 5.1.1 trying to update to iOS 6. please help

    Need help

    Ok make sure you have iTunes 11. Then connect iPod touch to computer then iTunes should pop up automatically. After it opens on the bottom left there should be a tab where it says your name and then iPod. For example (Johns iPod) click on that then it brings all your information of the iPod including restore and updating.
    Dont worry

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Error 3200 while trying to update to iOS 5! Help??

    I'm trying to update to iOS 5, and every time it reaches as far as extracting the software and prepping the phone for the update. Then it stops and gives me an error 3200. Any fixes to this?

    It worked for me after I disabled the Passcode, turned off WiFi and Cell networks, closed all apps (hit the home button twice and then hold on an app to bring up the close button). After all that power down and power up. Worked for me then.
    However it is probably more related to as others have said the sheer volume of hits.

  • HT4623 why do iget error message whenever i am trying to update to iOS 6.0.1 via iTunes and over OTA

    I am trying to update my iPhone 4 with iOS 6.0.1 but an error shows up saying "The iPhone 'xxxxxx' cannot be updated at this time because the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailaible. Please try again later"
    I tried it many times, I have searched over internet for solutions, and I have got this everywhere, editing the host file with some ip address, but nothing helped,
    I even could not upgrade OTA over wifi, its shows the same error.

  • SOLVED: Error -50 during backup if trying to update to iOS 5

    Hi there!
    Issue:
    As I would update my iPhone and iPad 2, I got the following error, while iTunes was trying to save the backup:
    "Beim Backup der Daten dieses iPhones / iPads ist ein Fehler aufgetreten (-50). Möchten Sie mit der Aktualisierung des iPhones / iPads fortfahren?"
    => no, you shouldn't ;-)
    Issue solved:
    Since I couldn't find a solution for my problem while searching the Internet, I'd like to share the solution, which I could find myself. :-)
    Reason for the issue:
    The point is, that I redirect the iTunes backup to an iSCSI drive on my NAS. This works usualy without any problem, exept during updating to iOS 5.
    Solution:
    I temporarily replaced the link 'backup' in the MobileSync which redirects the backup to iSCSI network drive with a folder named 'backup' for iOS 5 installation:
      /Users/<USER>/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/backup
    So the backup will be created local to the Mac instead to the iSCSI drive.
    After installing iOS 5 I could replace the folder again with the link and all works perfect.
    Bug report to Apple:
    This behavor should be corrected. It seams to be a bug in iOS 5 upgrade process in iTunes in my opinion.
    Howsoever, it's easy to solve the issue, if you know the reason.
    Maybe I can help someone with this hint.
    Sincerely

    THANK YOU. Saved me a few hours, this did.
    This is stil not fixed in the latest iTunes, MobileSync, or iOS 6. Whichever piece has the problem is still badly broken, and in this age of 64 GB flash drives in MacBook Air models, surely we're not the only two that have moved that monstrous folder out to an external drive....

  • I am not able to move out of connect to itunes screen after pressing software updATE IN ipad 3 please help

    please help me how to get out of the connect to i tunes screen which came after trying to update software of ipad 3 through software update in the ipad i t is not coming out of the connect to itunes scree neither being able to switch it off

    Try and force your iPad into Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • Tried to upgrade my iPhone 4 to 5.1 and now it is  stuck in "plug into itunes mode" after trying to update to iOs 5.1 and receiving error (1).

    Tried to upgrade my iPhone 4 to 5.1 and now it is  stuck in "plug into itunes mode" but will not recover when I plug it in. It is coming up as "unkown error (1)". Is there anything I can do?
    Also, is there any way to recover pictures I have not yet backed up? They should be on iTunes, but do not show up when I plug the phone in or otherwise.
    Is there any hope in saving this phone or is my best bet contacting Verizon or Apple to overnight me a new one?

    From iPhoneWiki:
    Try changing the USB port (the back one of chassis is better) and restart computer.
    The installed version of iTunes may also be too old. Update iTunes.
    Also put your iPhone in DFU mode when doing the above and restore. It's a software error.

  • HT201263 My iPhone 4 is stuck on the "Connect to iTunes screen" after trying to update to iOS 7.0.4! Help!

    I was attempting to update my iPhone 4 to the new iOS 7.0.4 via my computer after I plugged it in to create a backup copy and something went wrong before it could finish and I recieved an error message. Now my phone is stuck on the "Connect to iTunes screen". I've tried everything to reset & restore my phone with no luck!
    I have:
    -Restarted my computer
    -Updated iTunes to most current version
    -Turned phone on and off several times, waiting up to a half hour before turning on (to be greeted directly with apple logo then the connect to iTunes screen)
    -Turned on, turned on and held home button (nothing happens)
    -My computer is NOT recognizing my device at ALL! But when I plugged my boyfriends iPhone in, it detected it no problem.
    I tried calling my phone from the other phone and it goes straight to voicemail. I am super frustrated! Does anybody know what is going on?

    I was able to restore my phone!!!
    I called Apple and they said there was nothing more I could do. I called my carrier Verizon and was able to get my computer to recognize my device after trying this-
    Solution:
    After trying EVERYTHING this is the ONLY thing that worked-
    I took the USB connector cable out of the USB port it was in, and tried another one on the otherside of my laptop and iTunes was able to discover my phone in recovery mode. My phone was reset and everything is fine ( thank gosh for backup copies!)

  • IPhone 4: My IPhone keeps in the "plug-into-iTunes-screen" after trying to update to iOS 5.0. The phone is not showing up as a device in iTunes anymore.

    My IPhone doesn't turn on and keeps in the "plug-into-Tunes-screen" after update to new IOs 5.0 yesterday. I also tried to restore it, but it still keeps in the plugin mode. In ITunes the IPhone doesn't show up as a device anymore, but Windows 7 detects it as a camera. I started the problem diagnose via ITunes and it says "iPhone can't be found".I'm using the new version of iTunes.
    Can anyone help me?

    I have the exact same problem and have just logged on here to see if anyone can help also?  My iphone is up and working but itunes won't recognise it as a device... just updated itunes aswell.
    Any help would be hugely appreciated!!

I tried this thing: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 ,but it did not worked. I tried reinstalling my iTunes, but it did not work either. If the little things matter I left "lauch iTunes" box unchecked after reinstallation. Any help apriciated guys, im desperet here.

Itunes recognizes it in recovery mode, hit update restore, after the update nothing pops up or happens, and right back to square one like i never even updated or restored.

  • Today I tried to update to IOS 8 on my ipad 4. I thought I was doing everything right. I did it through itunes. I backed up before starting. It now is frozen. itunes says it's in recovery mode.get error 3014. HELP!

    Today I tried to update to IOS 8 on my ipad 4. I thought I was doing everything right. I did it through itunes.  I updated iTunes to 11.4.  I backed up before starting. It now is frozen. itunes says it's in recovery mode. The only options it gives me is to Restore so I say ok... after a few seconds  I get get error 3014.  It says this ipad can not be restored.  It has a button to click for more info which leads me to this page:  Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    Please help, I have a back up I just can't get to it.  Why did this happen!!!
    HELP!

    I have since tried a few more things... suggestions found online...
    I tried using another computer, same house same internet link though... it downloaded the update again, took about an hour & a half but as soon as it finished it said it could not restore because "device could not be found".  I unplugged my ipad then plugged it back in so it would "see"  it but it just went right back to the "ipad in recovery mode needs to be restored"... then the same error 3014.
    I don't know if the computer can sense the ipad or what's going on.  On the screen when it wants to do the restore it has an icon of an ipad & it says "Serial Number: n/a
    The next thing I tried...  was right clicking iTunes & choosing "Run as Administrator".  It started another hour & a half download of the update... but then when it was done it went right back to the error 3014.
    Is there nothing that can help?!?
