i tried it too and got the error code 2003
See this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
That particular error code is caused by a USB conflict:
Error 2000-2009: (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on) If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. Learn how to reset the SMC. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue continues, it may be related to conflicting security software.

  • How can i get my icloud restored back to a previous date

    Does anyone know how I can get my icloud restored back to a week ago?  My two separate apple iPhones had their iCloud accounts merged and I got my personal accounts and work accounts merged.  When trying to split them back up again, I deleted all my contacts on icloud and now I can't get them back.  can i get my icloud restored?  I restored my phone, but that didn't work.  Thanks for your help.

    A partition is just a section of the disk set aside for a particular purpose. In this case, we're talking about a Mac partition and a Windows partition. They have different formats, which is how the data is stored. The disks that came with your Mac will create the Mac partition when you install, but most likely you'll lose the Windows partition. You've got kind of a mess at this point. What you should do is install the Mac OS and get everything as you want it. Then run Bootcamp to create a Windows partition and let Bootcamp do the Windows installation for you. Grant gave you good advice earlier. Don't let Windows do any partitioning. That's how you got into this mess.

  • TS1456 My 4th Gen iPod Nano isn't displaying a "Use iTunes to restore" message, but iTunes is displaying a restore message when I connect it. I have original music that I can't back up on my iPod. Is there any way that I can fix the iPod without restoring

    My 4th Gen iPod Nano isn't displaying a "Use iTunes to restore" message, but iTunes is displaying a restore message when I connect it. I have original music that I can't back up on my iPod. Is there any way that I can fix the iPod without restoring it?

    It's not designed to work like this. When you sync, the iPod stores some information that basically says 'this iPod belongs to computer xyz'. Apple did this to prevent copyright issues (syncing someone else's music).
    If you really want to do this, you'll have to at least tie both iTunes installations to the same account. Maybe have them sync with each other.

  • Can't get Ipod to show up on Itunes

    Is it plugged in via a hub? If so, plug it directly into the box.
    If you're plugged into the box, try a different USB port.

  • I updated my 3gs to 6.1.3 now I can't get mail the phone constantly restarts itself and I can't get it to Restore thanks Apple what can I do?

    I updated my 3gs to 6.1.3 now I can't get mail the phone constantly restarts itself and I can't get it to Restore thanks Apple what can I do?

    Im having the same problem, I updated my Iphone 4S to 6.1.3, shortly after that my phone had no audio. It was working fine one minute and then stopped. Was listening to music when sound gave out on me. It wont ring, phone just vibrates even after turning off vibration option. I've tried all the options listed and nothing. My phone has never been jailbroken either. If I connect the earphones is works perfectly. On one of my last calls received, phone's ringtone was heard for about 2 seconds before muting and just vibrating. Ringtone sounded perfect, speakers did not sound damaged. 
    What else could be done? I've read several post regarding this and it seems like Apple has no solution to this yet. Very dissappointed.

  • Can't get iPod to back up. Help?

    I asked this question two days ago, and information below on the question...
    "I can't get my iPod touch to successfully backup. It's the only issue I have with my iPod. I plug it in, and then I hit the sync button for it. Both, my iPod touch and iTunes are the newest version right now. I've had this problem before other versions, but it seemed to manage somehow.
    Right before the backup load bar, it keeps restarting what I believe. I get the apple symbol and the loading pinwheel icon together, and the beeping noise. It still continues to go through the process, but near the end, right before its complete, the iPod whitescreens and then turns off completely. It doesn't create a backup, and then back at the beginning.
    Can someone help me? "
    Then someone said to restore my iPod touch as a new iPod touch, a complete full restore, this is my post to that.
    "Alright. I think this is likely my only alternative now if I wish to continue using my iPod touch, with syncing and likely other things. I really did not wish to go down this route, as I had just redownloaded a ton of things from the internet a couple days ago, taking up two whole days in the process. This consisted of only 15GB worth of data.
    If it isn't this, and lost my game progressions and other things to still come with a similar result, it must be a hardware problem then, no? Or does hardware problems even cause this issue?"
    I did a complete restore. When I had my iPod roughly halfway full, done with the restore, it actually had backed up successfully and went smoothly. Now I have finished getting everything back on it, and it's roughly 3/4 full now. I just now went to try to back up my iPod touch, and I have enough space for it, and more, but, it will not back up, this same problem has once again came back. I highly doubt this is a mere coincidence. What other possibilities are there that could cause this? It never has been jailbroken or anything to that effect either. iPod touch and iTunes are the most recent version, and all.
    Please help?

    Try moving the existing backup file to a safe locations so that iTunes has to create an entire new file.  The backup is located here:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

  • My restore didnt work when i updated to IOS5, and then it was overwritten. How can i get my old restore back??

    Ijust updated my ipod touch to ios5 and it didnt restore. i unplugged and reconnected my cable to the PC but when i reconnected it, it backed up over the restore i was trying to get.

    You can only get your old backup back, if you included it into your computer backup routine and could restore the backup folder for your ipod.
    If you have no other backups, your info is gone.
    iTunes and iOS do not support installing backups of newer versions of iOS onto devices using earlier versions of iOS.
    iTunes will not back up automatically if you are using iCloud.
    Have a new iOS device and need to move your previous backup onto it? Follow the steps in How to transfer your backup from one iOS device to a new device.

  • Moved ITunes folder to external drive now can't get Ipod to sync

    I have moved my ITunes folder from laptop to external drive. Had to move each album folder individually to ITunes and when I went to Sync my Ipod, says its in Restore mode and can't get out of it as it stays in Restore mode over and over and over.

    As a best practice, you should move your content to an external drive and import references to into iTunes rather than moving the whole database and app files. In iTunes > Preferences > Advanced, uncheck "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library". This will keep all your music and movies on the external drive, but iTunes and all references to the content on your desktop.
    I know that's not what you wanted to hear as a fix, but this is how I have my MacBook Air setup and it works fine with the iPad. My son tried to move the whole app and database to a hard drive and we had endless problems with it.

  • DELIMA~How to RESTORE when I can't get to the RESTORE button?????

    Something's messed up, I hook on my Classic and it simply keeps "syncing".
    I can move about in the iTunes pages, but cannot click on the iPod. So how the heck can I RESTORE if I can't get to the page with the RESTORE button?
    (BTW...the thing started messing up when I downloaded something called the OverDrive Media Console to download audiobooks from my local library...everything started going crazy up at that point, so beware.)
    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks, somehow I got to the iPod tab but when I try to restore, it just freezes when I hit the button asking if I want to restore even though it's syncing.
    I've been fooling with this for hours. I reinstalled iTunes, nothing changes. I got an error message that "Window's Delayed Write Failed" and then aother time Error 1418.
    I am so lost, and don't know where to turn now.

  • Re: Satellite L300-18D - How can I get a Vista Restore disk?

    Hi everyone
    My laptop (Satellite L300-18D) was seriously infected by viruses, everything corrupted. I need to resinstall Vista but don't have the restore disk. After searching around I managd to download a restore disk from some site, but when I used this disk, it gave me an error code which meant the product key was wrong. I used the product key from the bottom of the laptop (I trust this is an OEM). So I guess I need a restore disk that will work with my OEM product key.
    How can I get this restore disk that will work with my OEM licence?
    Also, I tried to install XP on my laptop, but it kept giving me a message saying it could not detect the hard disk, there is nothing wrong with the hard disk, I have tested it on another laptop. Is there any sort of barrier o installing XP on this laptop which came with Vista originally. Is there a security meassure somewhere that stoped me from installing XP?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    The original Toshiba recovery disk can be purchased here:

  • Can't get ipod to play a podcast a second time

    Help!
    I have no trouble getting and playing podcasts on my ipod mini, but once I finish listening to the podcast, it dissapears from the ipod and will not reload back on the ipod no matter what I've tried.
    The podcasts are still in iTunes and will play in iTunes, I just can't get them to play again on the ipod.
    I don't have fast connection, so I'd rather not reload them.
    I'm using iTune 5 iPod 1.4.
    Thank you,

    if that still fails, try renaming the project to something MUCH shorter:

    Can someone tell me the implications of using the command RESET DATABASE on my system days after I did the open reset logs? I opened the database with the ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS in SQL not RMAN and I see the below note.....
    Re: Can't get dataguard to recover after SAN crash.
    To reset the incarnation of the target database in the RMAN repository, which means to do either of the following actions:
    •Inform RMAN that the SQL statement ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS has been executed and that a new incarnation of the target database has been created. Note that if you run the RMAN command ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS (not the SQL statement with the same keywords), then RMAN resets the target database automatically so that you do not have to run RESET DATABASE. By resetting the database, RMAN considers the new incarnation as the current incarnation of the database.
