Error 42408 when syncing my iphone 4 with itunes, how can this be fixed..??

Ive recently downloaded the new itunes version 10.5, but now when i plug my iphone into my pc (Vista) i get error 42408 and messages saying that my mobile hasnt been started by my network provider, also requesting that I need to set my iphone back to factory settings, but i cant back up what i already have on my phone as i cant access iTunes, therefore i would loose everything! =( ITunes dosent even launch on my pc once my iphone is connected like it used to. I am the most untechnical person in the world, can someone please help me or give me some advise, as simple as possible =) My iphone is also requesting that i need to update my phone to the new iOS 5, again cant do this as i cant access itunes, finding this really frustrating, any help would be most appreciated, thanks in advance

Hello, Julie.
Thank you for the question. As the device is registered to the Apple ID, you would simply need to make sure the name is correct on https://appleid.apple.com/. If the name of the device itself is incorrect and you wish to change it, see the article below.

When syncing my iPhone with iTunes, I get the error, "some items did not sync, see itunes for help", but can't find any helps for this in iTunes. Where can I find out what is not syncing?

When syncing my iPhone with my iPhone, I get a message that 2 items did not sync - use iTunes for help.
But I can't find any help information in iTunes at all, let alone when items are not syncing.
How do I figure out what is not syncing?

Since it seems App related, I'm not sure what to offer you. I guess the only suggestion I have is for you to reboot your iPad and then try again. To reboot, hold the power and home buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds (keep holding past the swipe to shut down bar if it appears) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. You won't lose any settings or data, so it's worth a shot.

Help me please! iTunes Error: I cannot sync my iPhone with iTunes on PC?

Today I tried to sync my iphone with itunes on my PC, but unfortunately this box appeared ("This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes.") and I tried to install the installer for windows 64 bit and the problem still the same.
Is there anyone please help me to solve this problem?
NB: I really need this to manage my musics and others.

I had the same problem and this worked...

I have been unable to sync my phone with itunes - how can I fix this?

When I link into itunes, I am told that my phone is not registered. I have had my phone for less than 6 months. It worked through the itunes up until May and then I was unable to get it to connect to sync with itunes. I am able to buy products but not share with my other devices. How do I fix this?

The actual error message reads : This Iphone can non be used because the Apple mobile device sevice is not started.

Video started to sound awful when i've updated to iOS6, how can this be fix?

Hi,
Ever sine i've updated to iOS6 this October, the sound of my videos on my iPad started to sound awful. I'm using the default video player for iPad. It sounds like there's an echo, bass sounds has totally low quality and etc.
I tried removing the videos(music video) on my iPad then resync it but it still sounds different from before. I've tested the sounds in my mp3 (same song) still sounds as expected. So my sound setting and my headset are not defective.
Please teach me how can i fix this issue.
Thanks

What app are you using?
Do you get sound from the YourTube app
From other website?
I suspect a problem with the specific site you are using, not an iPod problem. Can you post a link to that site?

Search on Navigation Toolbar refuses to work after clicking enter or the search button when a word is typed. How can this be fixed?

Everything was working fine until just a few days ago. I was using Firefox 3.6.13 at that time. All of a sudden, when I attempted to do google searches on the navigation toolbar (top right), after inputing a word it is impossible to make the browser run the search onto the google website tab. I attempted a clean re-install, but it did not work. I also tried Minefield (Firefox 4 64-bit), and it also failed. What else should I do?

Rename [http://kb.mozillazine.org/search.sqlite search.sqlite] to search.sqlite.old in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] to to test is there is a problem with the file.

I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices.

1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

I used to be able to sync my iphone with itunes, but now when I plug my iphone into my computer it no longer syncs or even shows the device icon. Could this be because I have an old iphone and it's not compatible with the latest version of itunes?

I cannot sync my iPhone with iTunes for Windows. Even if the computer is authorized, it keeps on displaying an error message that tells that this computer is not authorized. I already tried to do the resolutions you have given in case this situation happens.

It's an endless circle.
