Catastrophic error while attempting to restore my 3rd Gen

I have a 3rd Gen iTouch that worked perfectly (but hadn't been used in a while) that I wanted to gift to my nephew. I wanted to do a reset to remove all personalization. My iOS was out of date and iTunes insisted that I upgrade that first. Something went wrong during the process and iTunes shut down. When I tried to start the program again I got the BSOD. When I restarted my computer, the USB wouldn't recognize the device so I changed ports. I can't recall all the error messages it gave me but there were several. The last one was please restore the device. When I try to do a restore, it gives me the error message that this device cannot be restored - yet the screen shows the please plug me in graphic. So now I'm stuck. I need to restore the device but the device cannot be restored. I contacted Apple Support and because I couldn't even power the device off. The gentleman on the phone suggested I allow the battery to drain completely and then try again. Unfortunately I get the exact same error. I am so afraid that my device will no longer be usable. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Without knowing what the last error message said (complete wording):
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Error Message: "Resource could not be found" while attempting to restore iPod Touch w/ iOS 6.0

Hey all,
While attempting to restore my friend's iPod Touch I got several error messages after which, ultimately, I would be unable to complete the restoration.
When I first connected the iPod touch to my MacBook Pro I received this error message:
I therefore attempt to update it's software and find that it has been updated to the latest version (iOS 6.0).
I move on to restore and regardless of whether or not I choose to back up I receive this error message:
By clicking on "More Information" I am brought to this web page:http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
However, this page was last updated in October of 2012 and I seem to remember the new iTunes update happening after that.
Any ideas regarding what might be the problem and how to solve it?
Thanks for all your help. Happy New Year!

To be clear, I'm unsure whether or not iOS 6.0 is the latest iPod Touch software but I did get this error message when I attempted to update:
I hope this helps. Thank you!

After further Investigation it seems that this error is Not responsible for my Blue screening......I started my PC after leaving it off all night, and it started normally, but i still have this error in the Event Log - System.....I have searched the Technet
forums (and there is a lot of ID 1012 errors) but non relating to my problem....If anyone knows what is causing this error and how to fix it, i'd be Grateful....although it does not seem to affect the PC in any way that i can see.

Since Windows system uses separated user mode and kernel mode memory space, stop errors are always caused by kernel portion components, such as a third-party device drivers, backup software or anti-virus services (buggy services).
The system goes to a BSOD because there is some exceptions happened in the kernel (either the device driver errors or the service errors), and Windows implements this mechanism: When it detects some errors occur in the kernel, it will kill the box in case
some more severe damage happens. Then we get a blue screen or the system reboots (it depends on what the system settings are).
To troubleshoot this kind of kernel crash issue, we need to debug the crashed system dump. Unfortunately, debugging is beyond what we can do in the forum. A suggestion would be to contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support (CSS) via telephone so that
a dedicated Support Professional can assist with your request. Please be advised that contacting phone support will be a charged call.
To obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request please take a look at the web site listed below:
Microsoft - Help and Support
If you are outside the US please see
Microsoft Worldwide Home for regional support phone numbers.
Meantime we can try some available steps as a general troubleshoot.
1. Please remove the antivirus and run the system with a period. If the issue does not occur, mainly focus on antivirus settings and compatibility.
2. Disable Automatic Restart and see detail information on the blue screen.
1).Click Start, in the Start Search box enter sysdm.cpl.
2).Click the tab Advanced. Under Startup and Recovery, click the Settings button.
3). Uncheck “Automatically restart”.
4). On the drop-down menu “Write debugging information”, choose “Small memory dump”.
5). Click OK.
When Blue Screen displays, you may find some useful information.

Get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus -identity DBNAME | fl gives errors "The Microsoft Exchange Replication service encountered an error while attempting to start a replication instance for". DB is mounted and the DB copies are in healthy status.

We are getting a SCOM alert " Database copy isn''''t keeping up with the changes on the active database copy and has failed."
When we go to the mailbox server and check we found all the Mailbox DB's are mounted properly and their copies are in healthy state. Further digging to this problem we found that there are no critical events to this DB in the eventviewer.
When we runt he get-mailboxdatabasecopystatus -identity DBNAME | Fl then in the ErrorMessage section we get error "The Microsoft Exchange Replication service encountered an error while attempting to start a replication instance for . If the copy doesn't
recover automatically, administrator intervention may be necessary. Error: The directory is not empty."
ErrorEventID : 4126
In the event viewer we get a Information event 4114 saying the DB redundancy health check passed and in the details section we get the same error message mentioned above.
Also we observed that the "MSExchange Replication" counter "Failed" is set to 1 for this perticular DB but is is set to 0 for the other DB's. Tried restarting the MSEXChange replication service but still the "Failed" counter
is 1 and the SCOM alert is still active.
The version is Exchange 2010 SP3 UR5
Any clues???

Hi,
From your description, this issue only affect one mailbox datatabase.
Please use the Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy command to check result.
If it doesn't work, please dismount your active database copy and check if this is Clean Shutdown, if it's dirty shutdown, please bring to clean shutdown and mount this database copy. Then run the Update-MailboxDatabaseCopy command again to check result.

What are solutions to the "Unexpected error while attempting to bind. Operation cancelled." message when trying to bind

What are solutions to the "Unexpected error while attempting to bind. Operation cancelled." message when trying to bind and i alreeady cheack my DNS settings and everything

Has this worked before, or is this a new configuration?
On the server, launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and post the output of the following harmless diagnostic command — and you'll need to enter an administrative password when requested:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
On the OS X (presumably) Mavericks client, please post the IP address(es) of the DNS server(s) you're referencing. These are available via the System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS settings.
To check the console logs, launch Console.app from Applications > Utilities on both the client and the server, and then attempt the binding, and then post a (short! no more than ~25 to 50 lines!) of any errors related to the binding error.
If you're not in a position to post configuration details here — which is perfectly reasonable, and entirely your prerogative — or if I'm getting too confusing or too technical with some of the questions here, which would be my error of course — then (assuming these systems are under warranty) I'd suggest contacting the folks at the local Apple Store and having a chat with the local Geniuses about this, or checking directly with the Apple Support folks via telephone.

"Error while attempting to save event log" On VPN3000

My VPN have started to e-mail the following problem.

Error while attempting to save event log (operation: fopen, code:
Anybody have any idears, I have tried to reboot but need not fix anything.
When I try click on "Save Needed", I get the following errror "Unable to Save
File Write Error".
I can see that my event log is getting updated with other stuff like "IKEDBG/79" - "Phase 1 failure against global IKE proposal".

Try re-naming the existing files, and then do the save. I had a similar problem, and I think it was a corrupt file that the system could not overwrite, but could rename. Then you can delete the old one.

I want to restore my 3rd gen apple tv using itunes

Please help me folks!
I'm trying to restore my 3rd gen apple tv through itunes as I can't do it through the apple tv itself. I have followed the instructions to the letter; 1) open itunes 2) plug micro USB cable in to back of apple tv box and connect to laptop using USB port 3) connect apple tv box to power source.
Did that! However, my apple tv device DID NOT SHOW UP in my itunes at all. So now I am stuck with a 3rd gen apple tv device that won't let me restart it using the remote OR using itunes.
Suggestions please. Don't fancy spending over £100 on another one.
Kind regards

Sometimes if iTunes doesn't see a device for me, whether my iPhone or iPad, a simple restart of my Mac is usually enough to get it working. I wonder some of the same tips that Apple lists for iOS devices not being recognized by iTunes would work for Apple TV as well.
Mac: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for OS X
WIndows: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Error Code 0x8087002B while attempting to restore image files

Dear all
My computer is unable to boot into Windows (7 Pro) - I get an error saying "Non-system disk or disk error" even though the BIOs has been configured to boot from the right hard disk. Thinking it may be an error in the disk, I attempted to restore
an image backup of the system files (this was from Backup and Restore, so it's a vhd file), using the Win7 installation disk, and have loaded the necessary network drivers (the vhd is stored in a network location). A few seconds after restoration of the image
began I received an error code 0x8078002B - unable to open one or more backup files.
I have checked Google for such an error code but all results were for 0x8078002A. I ran a check on the vhd file - I tried to mount it (read-only) on another computer, and ran chkdsk, but no errors were reported (I'm not even sure if that actually helps).
I was able to view the files inside the vhd as well. Can anyone enlighten me on this error code?
If it helps, before this issue happened, I believe there was a hardware issue (some DIMM error). I went online and one of the suggestions was to update my BIOs - the rationale was that the old firmware for the BIOs could give inaccurate error codes. I did
go to the manufacturer's website and downloaded the right .exe file to update my BIOs, but after the computer restarted the error "Non-system disk or disk error" appeared.

Hi,
Generally speaking, Non-system or disk error means there is a problem with BCD file. To resolve this problem, you can try to make a startup repair with this problem.

1602 and 1604 Errors When Attempting to Restore/Update iPhone - Please Help

Hi, I've been having trouble with my iPhone 3GS and after wasting many days on trying to solve the problem, I am reaching out for help from those more knowledgeable than me. I have been having this problem for as long as I can remember (I've owned my iPhone for just under a year): whenever I attempt to Restore my iPhone or update its OS, I receive a 1602 or 1604 error on iTunes and the process stops with the iPhone wiped. iTunes refuses to continue the Restore and any further attempts result in the same error. I originally found this work around for the problem after an exhaustive search (4th post down):
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1363589
However, every time I wish to Restore or update, I have to follow these long, annoying, unusual steps, and, now that I am coming to the end of my year's warranty, I really want to fix this problem, or get it fixed by Apple if this is not possible.
The iPhone restores with no problem on another computer in my house, so I guess the problem is with my computer. I have taken the following steps (often many times over and in combination with each other) in my attempts to fix the problem, but with no success:
1. Uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes
2. Uninstalled and reinstalled iPhone drivers
3. Uninstalled and reinstalled all Apple software and drivers
4. Removed iTunes library, all music and any other iTunes files in music folder
5. Created a new user account, which is free from any old iTunes settings, opened iTunes and plugged in iPhone
6. Used different USB ports
7. Plugged in iPhone after being restored on other computer
I'm running out of ideas. Can anyone please help?
Thanks,
James

I had all of these problems, and I was able to fix them with the following process. Here is what I did:
My setup:
Apple Max OS 10.4.10, Mac G4, with 3rd party USB 2.0 card.
1. Upgrade to iTunes 7.6 and Quicktime 7.4, Restart and repair permissions
2. Purchase the iPod Touch Upgrade - It took two tries to purchase. I had to accept to two agreements, and then got an error. I purchased the upgrade again and got an instruction screen. iTunes appeared to download a very small file.
3. Sync my touch (I still had not upgraded to firmware 1.1.3)
4. The touch synced, but I had no new functions.
5. I clicked upgrade, and downloaded the 165GB file.
6. While the file was downloading I undocked my iPod touch and restarted it.
7. When the download was complete, it gave me an unknown error because my iPod was not connected.
8. I connected My iPod and tried to install the update. After several tries, I always got a 1602 error.
9. I restarted my computer and did a hard restart of my ipod touch. This did not work, I still had 1602 errors.
10. At this point, I chose to RESTORE my iPod Touch.
11. After the restore, I chose not to restore any content, and just tested the firmware update. EVERYTHING worked great!
12. I synced my iPod touch while I watched the keynote. 45 minutes later my sync was complete and 14 Gig of content was restored. The new functions are great. I have already read my .Mac email.

Input/output error when attempting to restore external HDD?

I have an old 1TB external HDD that corrupted a while ago, the drive still mounts and i can still see the files inside the drive, unfortunately opening the drive up crashes finder. As i have another 2TB external drive, my next idea was to create a second partition in my 2TB drive and then restore the old 1TB drive into the second partition of the 2TB drive using the disk utility. After a few minutes it comes up with the error message INPUT/OUTPUT error and then stops restoring it.
Any ideas folks as to where to go from here? what the problem might be? or what to try next?
many thanks
Ali

Ali,
your external 1 TB HDD might have a hardware fault which is preventing access to its files. Have you tried running your MacBook Pro’s Apple Hardware Test, to see if it can detect a hardware-related problem with your external 1 TB HDD?

T60 - Error while attempting to read the boot configuration data

Hello,
My wife just got an IBM-certified "pre-owned" T60 (type 2007 66U) running XP a few days ago. I updated all the drivers & patches and handed it over to her in good working order.
This morning when she turned it on, she encountered a message from the Windows Boot Manager:
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1) Insert your Windows installation disc
2) Language settings
3) Repair your computer
If you do not have this disc....
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data
It almost goes without saying that we do not having our Windows installation disc as it was pre-installed by Lenovo. I've tried using F11 (after enabling it per other threads on this site) to access the recovery partition but it only takes me directly to the Windows Boot Manager error screen.
How do I go about repairing this BCD/Windows installation so we can continue our life?
Thanks...

You said that the computer is running Windows XP, but unless i'm wrong BCD (Boot Configuration Data) is a new feature starting with Windows Vista and also used by Windows 7. Windows XP use NTLDR (NT Loader) so if BCD is corrupted it sounds to me like someone tried to install Vista og Win7 on the computer or there might have been some leftovers from the previous owner. I don't think you have any other option but to use a Windows CD/DVD to fix this problem since you won't be able to boot from this computer. There might be some 3part utilities available that should be able to fix this, but i wouldn't know what that might be. My recommendation would be to get a Windows CD/DVD.
