Error 29 after trying to upgrade to 4.2

My 3GS was doing just fine until I tried to update it today. Now it's a useless brick that I am unable to restore. Anyone else seeing this or have any idea how to correct?

Hi
Error 29 is usually a hardware issue.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
+Error 23, 28, 29, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1013, 1014, 1611: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article and also attempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. If the MAC address is missing or the IMEI is the default value (00 499901 064000 0), this can also confirm a hardware issue.+
Check the cable and check that the pins in the dock area on the phone are clean and free of debris like lint etc.
If all looks OK, follow through the steps in this article and see if you get a fix to the issue.
Hope this helps

    What OS is on the Install/Restore DVD that came wit your G5? If Tiger 10.4.x, you will need a black, retail Leopard install DVD. There is no free download of Leopard, only free updates once you have installed the base OS.
    First use your Mac's Install/Restore DVD to install an OS & apps. Then upgrade the OS.
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store *but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753)*.

  • What do I do now that Photoshop CC has encountered an error while trying to upgrade. Suggesting retry does nothing. The numbers (49) appear, but I don't know what that signifies. Help?

    What do I do now that Photoshop CC has encountered an error while trying to upgrade. Suggesting retry does nothing. The numbers (49) appear, but I don’t know what that signifies. Help?
    It is recommended that I ask for help, which put me here. What I really need is some customer service — not a chat room!

    If Windows :
    Quit Creative Cloud desktop application .
    Launch Photoshop cc 2014 application from C: > Program Files > Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 .
    Once launched , click on Help menu in Photoshop cc 2014 and select Updates option .
    It should update.
    If Mac:
    Quit Creative Cloud desktop application .
    Launch Photoshop cc 2014 application from Applications folder:
    Once launched , click on Help menu in Photoshop cc 2014 and select Updates option .
    Let me know if you face any error .
    Error 49 occurs while updating the application , when Creative Cloud app  does not have reference / Access to installed CC app, so that it can apply updates for the same .
    You can try to update from CC app  like Photoshop itself and check.

  • Im getting this error after trying to laounch SQL*Plus

    Hallo, guys!
    Help me on this one. I'm new to Oracle on Windows 2000 Professional
    Im getting this error after trying to laounch SQL*Plus
    Error 6 Initializing SQL*Plus
    Message file spl<lang>.msb not found
    SP2-0750:You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle Software directory
    Urgent please respond
    Thanks
    sridhar

    Verify the contents of the following subkey in your Windows2000 registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\KEY_YOUR_HOME_NAME
    Your Windows 2000 registry must contain several minimum parameters, defined as registry entries inside the above subkey (See http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/win.102/b14304/registry.htm#i1006544). One of them is ORACLE_HOME, which could have been accidentally removed or changed. ORACLE_HOME must contain the home OS path to the SQL*Plus executable in your machine (For example, C:\Oracle\OraDB10g). I tried changing the name of the ORACLE_HOME registry entry in my machine and received the same exact messages you did when launching SQL*Plus.
    In your OS, verify also Control Panel > System Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables > System Variables > Path, and make sure the above ORACLE_HOME's path is included in the Path variable (preferably in the starting position)

  • What do I do after I got an error after trying to download the security update?

    What do I do next when I got an error after trying to download the security update?

    Thank you for providing these details.  It makes helping you much easier.
    You have a 16GB iPad, but have only 2.4GB available.  This is likely contributing to the issue.  This amount, 15% of the iPad's storage capacity, is the minimum free space you should have.  But when updating iOS, you should expect the new version to use somewhat more space than the old.  I believe going to Settings > General > Usage and freeing space will help with your issue.
    Another recommendation would be to use iTunes on your computer to do the update instead of over-the-air.
    I believe either one of these would help you.  Both would be at least as good.

  • After trying to upgrade, I got the error 3014 and now I can't get the iPad to do anything. It continually shows the "plug in to iTunes" icon.  How do I get past this problem?

    Can't restore, can't power off, and pc can't detect iPad.  Error code 3014 when trying to upgrade.  Can't even restore to original settings. Opened Hosts files and I did not see 127....gs.apple.com, or other suggested files.  Pls help.

    Did you see the very end of this about not having enough space left on your computer specific to therror code 3014?
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
    Error 3002: If you experience this error while updating an iPod touch (2nd generation) or iPhone 3G, please use the standard update or restore process in iTunes (click Update or Restore).
    Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again.

  • Error installing or removing Itunes after trying to upgrade to 7.6

    Hi There,
    I recently tried to upgrade to 7.6 from 7.5 and this has caused me some issues.
    Firstly when upgrading a dialog box opens stating that itunes.msi cannot be found in local settings - however it was there. I manually moved to the path still to no avail.
    I followed all steps to remove itunes and do a clean install - as stated in the support site "how to uninstall section". This failed at the add remove stage. Stating "The older version of itunes cannot be removed. Please contact your technical support group".
    As there was no add remove option I removed all references to itunes in my local settings folder, program files and registry and went to reinstall, however I am still getting the same message above when tryin to install.
    Now I am stuck with no version of itunes at all on my PC. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.
    Do Apple have a default "scrubber" that will remove all reference/instances of itunes?
    Many Thanks,
    Martin

    I'm having the same exact problem! The only diffrerence is that I haven't unistalled my current version and it still works. But I REALLY want those new iPod Touch Apps! But they require 7.6! Why is it when ever Apple does something great for us they some how find a way to screw us at the same time.
    I don't want a scrubber however cause that migth wipe my settings and or library. Instead I want a magic file that fixes what ever apple screwed up and intalls 7.6!
    ....Or I suppose a copy of iTunes.msi for my version would do to....
    My iTunes version is 7.4.3.1
