    Subject: Error message when trying to install Flash 10.0.45.2
    If I remember correctly, there were two different installers for 10.0.45.2: one that did the checking for a newer version, and one that did not.
    The forum search is currently disabled, and I cannot find the topics that were discussed at the time.
    However, I still have the installers for the non-check version available for download on my servers:

  • TS3694 My ipod touch encountered some water and wont turn on. Is there  anything we can do to get it working again? It says error 3104 when trying to restore it. Thank you

    My ipod touch encountered some water and wont turn on. Is there anything we can do to get it working? It says error 3104 when trying to restore. thank you

    Maybe here:
    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.

  • Getting error -34 when trying to restore my ipad

    I am getting an error (-34) when trying to restore my backup to my ipad after update to ios 5.  Seems to be the same issue as:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3374362
    I have plenty of free space on my 64gb ipad but the settings keep getting defaulted to not downsample my music to 128kb.  that would over fill my device. I have been on the phone with apple for over an hour with no end in sight.  I have lost many data files including a recorded meeting from this week.
    If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.
    Thanks,
    RA

    Configure your security software
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Common errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
