2.01 upgrade "unknown error 13" my solution

Windows XP
iTunes 7.7.1
iPod Touch
Attempted to update from 2.0 to 2.0.1
Update failed with "Unknown Error 13".
After 2 hours on the phone with 1-800-myapple
and no solution other than to send it back for
repair/replacement I decided to give it one
last attempt.
Instead of doing the recommended RESTORE I
performed a SHIFT-RESTORE (held shift key when
selecting RESTORE).
I then pointed to the recently downloaded 2.0.1 image in:
c:/documents and settings/myusername/application data/apple computer/itunes/...
That did the trick.
Hope this might save others with the same issue some anguish.

I have the same problem. I discovered by using the iCloud control panel on my desktop computer allows me to get around the problem. You might want to explore that option.

Can't update iphone. unknown error (-23) help pls!

I cant seem to update my iphone 4. keep getting an error message "unknown error (-23)" anyone can help?

Hi, I've just manually updated mine SUCCESSFULLY! Make sure you SYNC ALL your data first
This was the method I used (courtesy of http://www.nickpan.com/2011/10/15/iphone-ios5-upgrade-unknown-error-23/):
Download the iOS5 manually. See http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/12/ios-5-download-available/
Copy the iOS5 file to (For Windows 7 users) “C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates”.
Go back to iTunes and hit “Update”.

Unknown error -53?

all summer, my ipod has been giving me the same problem. one day, i synced and i accidentally pulled out the itunes from the usb port, and now it's giving me all sorts of issues.
at first, it said "ipod can not be read into," so i restored it, etc, and every time i synced, itunes stopped working.
i tried doing something i read in a discussion board (it had to do with notepad and a windows batch file) and at first it seemed like it was working, but then... as i restored it (for literally the 15th time) itunes said it encountered an error, 1434 or something, and ipod could not be synced.
i tried it again, and it started syncing but after waiting for a long time, and only syncing about 10 songs in 10 minutes, itunes popped up a message that said , *unknown error -53.*
solutions?

IPod can't update suddenly. Unknown Error (-39)

I've been reading other people's posts about having problems updating their iPods. I've got a new 80GB iPod which was working fine up until yesterday. Now I'm getting an unknown error message which seems to be a different error number than thosee I've seen before. Does anyone know what this one might be caused by? I'm using a G4 Dual Mirror with the latest version of iTunes on OSX 10.3.9. Thanks.

Unknown error -23 while downloading iOS 5

So I have been using the iPhone 4 for nearly a year and a half now with no issues whatsoever.
I wanted to update to the iOS 5 earlier today. When iTunes tried to download the OS, it failed with error -23, which is an unknown error. The rest of the message is a cryptic "there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone <name>".
I went ahead and got the ipsw file for the GM release of iOS 5 anyway, and proceeded to install it using the "Restore" option (I kept Alt pressed on my keyboard and pointed iTunes to the ipsw file).
I now have iOS 5 on my phone and it works well. However, all my contacts have disappeared! iTunes has restored my music and my apps, but not my contacts. When I try to use the restore option and get my contacts back from an earlier back up, I experience the same error -23.
What worries me is that I haven't found a single relevant post on the web related to the specific error code "-23". I have no idea what the issue is and how I can correct it now.
Any help on this front will be greatly appreciated.
FYI,
iTunes: 10.5 (141)
Mac OSX: 10.6.8 (I gather that the latest version is 10.7.2, but I don't see this update in my software updates...is this an issue?).
I am from Singapore and I have a Singapore Apple ID. Please reach me if you want any more information.

How to restore as new.

When I attempt to upgrade an app in iTunes for windows, I get an error: "Could not purchase. An unknown error occurred (11111). There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later"

When I attempt to upgrade an app in iTunes for windows, I get an error: "Could not purchase. An unknown error occurred (11111). There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later"
I am running the latest iTunes 10.7.0.21 for Windows 7.
This error occurs if I try to either update the app or if I delete it and attempt to redownload.
I have an iPhone and an iPad. I am unable to update the apps or install the apps from within the App Store on iOS.
I do not have an AOL ID, as is a common issue with this type of error.
From what I can tell, my Apple ID account seems fine. I logged in, changed some information, and ensured my credit card is valid and updated.
I can download new apps just fine. I am unable to update or install apps I have purchased in the past.

After 30 minutes this morning, no resolution. Then another tech support call this afternoon, 15 minutes in, was escalated to a Tier 2 (Senior) advisor. He said something similar to the above ("this is one of the strangest things I've seen"). He was chatted with iTunes guys and took all my info into the case and was escalating it over to engineering. Said they would be in touch.
So, no solution...yet.
Just to clarify:
iTunes on Windows7: trying to update an existing app, or re-download a prior app, gives the (11111) error. Downloading a new (free) app worked fine.
App Store on iPhone5, iOS 6.0.1: click on UPDATE, switches to INSTALLING...for a second, then switches back to UPDATE. No error message (and nothing in Diagnostic data).
App Store on iPad 3, iOS 6.0.1: same as iPhone 5.
Definitely account related.
I have cleared the store cache, signed out and back in, deleted the credit card data, and re-added, rebooting PC and iPhone...nothing works.
Will post if I hear anything back from Apple.

I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error.

I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error. (-50). my icloud drive was stuck in an upgrade cycle, but i've stopped that and still get the error message.

I restarted itunes and tried again (based on a similar question/solution from 2012).
I don't get the error message anymore, but it's really sort of odd that after step one of sync, it looks as if sync stopped, and then all of a sudden you see step 4 of sync.
Also before the upgrade I had 7+ gigs of space free and after the upgrade I have 10 gigs free. seems like something is amiss, but it's not like I have anyway of determining that.

Unknown error -19 when attempting upgrade to 2.0.2

Hi:
I have a 1G iphone that I'm attempting to upgrade from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2. When itunes attempts to sync the update, I receive the following: "Unknown error-19".
How do I fix this issue?
Thanks!
Adrienne

Thanks Jason,
Obviously, the solution wasn't plug and play, but you pointed me in the right direction... I uninstalled and re-installed iTunes per the directions at that link. I don't feel entirely in the clear and am wondering what the problem was, but I won't worry about that until the next time (and neither should you).
Kind regards,
Graham

HT201263 my iphone 4 went into recovery mode & will not restore. Unknown error 21 comes up on iTunes. Please can someone offer any ideas for a solution?

I have an iphone 4 nearly 2 yrs old. It has worked perfectly for that time. On Friday last (whilst away on holiday) I took the phone out of my pocket & it was lifeless. I tried switching it on, no joy, I tried the power/home button reset no joy. I plugged it into a mains charger & it came on but had a banner across the screen saying "verification required". I removed the charger & decided I would try again when I got home so I could connect to my PC & iTunes.
At home I went through the whole above process again but when I plugged it into the mains again it just had the Apple logo going on/off repeatedly. I plugged the phone into my PC & the apple logo appeared followed by the "connect to iTunes". In iTunes I get the banner "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes". So I click on "OK" the "Restore" then a banner asking if I'm sure I want to restopre the iPhone appears, press "Restore & Update". iTunes starts to remove the software, veryfies it with Apple & then another flag "The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (21) which appears to be a security issue.
I thought the above problem was something to do with O2 because I picked up my new iPhone 4S last Tuesday but was unable to set it up until I got back from my holiday, O2 say it isn't anything they've done.
My question is has it happened to anyone & can anybody offer a solution, is it a hardware or software issue?

Can somebody help me in finding a solution or an explanation to the problem I am currently experiencing as well as others wherein we cannot connect to the iTunes store (iTunes could not connect to the store. An unknown error occurred (0x80096004))?

Can somebody help me in finding a solution or an explanation to the problem I am currently experiencing as well as others wherein we cannot connect to the iTunes store. An error message appears and either says "iTunes could not connect to the store. An unknown error occurred (0x80096004). Make sure your network connection is active and try again" or "iTunes could not connect to the store.Make sure your network connection is active and try again." Despite the fact that my network connection is working quite fine, this problem still persists. I can say that my connection is fine because I can surf the internet and furthermore, I used to connect to the iTunes store just before this incident happened which started from April 17, 2014 and persists until today. I tried to solve the problem by following the troubleshoot procedures given in the support section of this site but it really did not solve the problem. I believe that others are experiencing this situation as well very similar to mine when it comes to the time of occurrence as I have read in the discussions in this site. Even though we have different network connections, operating systems and other specifications, we still experience the same problem, so is there really a problem with our computers or is it with the iTunes? And by the way, my computer works under Windows XP. Thanks a lot. God bless.

Try this...
Triple click anywhere in the line below to select it and press Ctrl+C to copy it.
cmd /k netsh winsock reset
Press the WinLogoKey+R to open the run dialog, then Ctrl+V to paste, then press enter/return.
You should get something similar to this:
Reboot the computer and the problem should be resolved.
If it doesn't work then perhaps a full tear down and rebuild of iTunes will fix things. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for details.

I have an apple 3g, tried to update it to 4.2, but it wasnt successful, then they asked me to restore it .. to which im getting an error message of "the iphone could not be restored an unknown error has occured (error 1015), any solutions?

i have an apple 3g, tried to upgrade it to a 4.2 version, (previously it was 4.1). it wasnt successful, the computer asked us to restore it to the version which was last operational, and while restoring an error message appeared "the iphone could not be restored, an unknown error occured

"This error is caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple."

Plug your iPhone into iTunes and update it to the latest supported version, which is 4.2.1.

I cannot save my work in Illustrator CC2014.1 due to an 'unknown error'. Any ideas on a solution?

Hi there,
I have produced some work in illustrator and wanting to save before I proceed but Illustrator will not allow me due to an unknown error. I have tried some ideas posted on the web (turning off the visibility of layers, saving as an EPS) but to no avail. I have tried resetting my preferences and turning off sync settings but again no luck. Is anyone else experiencing this and anyone have any ideas on a solution?
Many thanks,
Matt

Hi Jacob,
Thanks for the idea.
Tried that, (tried all the Save As options) and the same 'unknown error' occurs. I have tried saving as an Illustrator EPS and a different alert comes up as 'Cannot Save. A necessary item is missing: ID: 192'. No idea what the necessary item is? Mithril? Gold?
Raghuveer- yes, it still is an issue- joined the connect session and waiting for your response.
Many thanks,
Matt
