Error 3 when updating iphone 5 - firmware issue?

Hello everyone
I am updating my iphone and right at the last minute I am getting an error message pop up on my computer.
Error (3)
I have zero idea what it means, I can not access my phone or get into anything on my phone! I just have the connect to itunes logo on my phone.
I have the latest update of itunes
I have no other sofware on my computer that will conflct with the update
I was simply running the latest update!
The error says:
The Iphone 'iphone' could not be restored. an unknown error occured (3)
when I click more information apple do not even mention it anywhere.
can someone please help??

Error 1602 when updating Iphone 4 from 4.3 to 5.. Any help ?

Error 1602 when updating Iphone 4 from 4.3 to 5 and after that it goes into "recovery mode" but Its not recognized by Itunes, I can only exit it with Tinyumrella and nothing else.

It seems that the itunes program has some interfefence when contacting the apple server.
i had this problem gave me error message 3200, i turned off the anti virus after restarting the computer(windows vista) and restarting the phone.
Turned off the sidebar, and closed any programs in the notifications section such as nokia ovi etc which load up when the computer starts also skype.
ha presto it began the process of transfering the file to the iphone4 and has now fully updated
hope that helps

Tried pretty much everything on the list, and still get the error. is it possible that my Wireless ISP is blocking something? I noticed last night that I can no longer upload photos to my Fototime account, or to Facebook

Error (2) when updating iPhone 4 to ios 7

Hi all,
I am getting this error when i am trying to update my iPhone 4 to ios 7. Also tried DFU restore. Still no luck.
Any insights is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Error message reads "iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (2).

Error 2
ASR does not exist on ramdisk or is corrupt/not signed.
you might be downloading the wrong version of iOS 7.0 or downloaded file might be corrupted , try to download again the correct and complete file and retry restoring manually ...
while in itunes press shift and restore button you will be asked to provide the iOS which you wan to update select and see if this works for you.

Hello,
this morning I received the following error message when the iPhone connected to iTunes: i
tunes could not check for an update to the carrier settings for your iphone. an unknown error occurred (1635)
any ideas? thx

I get the same error (although in Dutch ;-)).
It also says something like (I'm translating): "Make sure your network settings are correct and your networkconnection is active or try again later." Is there a way to find out these "correct networksettings"?
I now get it for a week, eacht time I connect my iPhone to itunes...

Keep getting error 9006 when updating iOS system for iPOD and iPHONE and not sure what to do, any solutions?

Errors related to third-party security software
Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 1000, and 9006
Follow the steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or phobos.apple.com isn't blocked by a firewall or other Internet security setting.
Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under "Advanced steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)" below for file locations.
Restore your device while connected to a different network.
Restore using a different computer.

Encountered error 6 when upgrading Iphone 5s from 7.1.2 to 8.3

I encountered error 6 when upgrading Iphone 5s from 7.1.2 to 8.3
I've tried upgrade iphone on three computers , the results are all the same.
One of the computers successfully upgrade my ipad to 8.3.
There are 2GB left on IPhone 5S before I perform the upgrade.
It should be enough for iTunes to finish the process, right?
But in the log, it says "copier_file_error: /mnt2/mobile/Library/PreinstalledAssets/com_apple_MobileAsset_Font.cpio: No space left on device"
why is that?
Any way for me to continue the upgrade? it seems it's almost done.
Thank you
the end of the log is as below:

Hello there, Kenduck.
It sounds like you are trying to update your iPhone 5s to the most current version of iOS and are getting an Error 6 message. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great information in regards to that very error message:
Get help with iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
Particularly:
Check your security software
Errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006.
Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't blocking a connection to the Apple servers.
If you still see the error message, check for USB connection issues.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Kind Regards,
Pedro.

Error 4 when updating the text data

When i am trying to load the data using IP i am facing the issue Error 4 when updating the text data.Please suggest me
Edited by: srikanth reddy612 on Dec 15, 2011 12:45 PM

hi srikanth,
you might have selected given lowercase data
and please check in the Infoobject the lowercase Checkbox is unchecked then it will allow you to update from IP.
also check in the Datasource fields tab whether particular field is unchecked with lowercase.
if checked all records you are pushing will have to be in uppercase.
thanks

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Error message when updating Itunes...can not open Itunes program

I am recieving error message when updating Itunes for my computer. The error message reads "MSVCR80.dll is missing and the other error message reads Error 7 (Windows error 126)" I can not open my Itunes. I have reloaded the Itunes onto my computer but still have the same error messages. Please help.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

To whom it may concern
I would like to inform you about an error occurred when I upgraded my firmware to IOS 6
When I plug a headphone/earphone into my, then unplug it, the volume turned out to be unadjustable
I have attached 2 screenshots of the error, pls help?
Thanks.

Try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
