  • Error message when restoring factory settings

    I went to restore the factore\y setttings using itunes 7.7 and it started to restore the factory settings and then froze up and gave me an unknown error message and now when I hook back up the ipod it says that I have to restore before I can do anything else. Once i do that again it goes into the whole process again of freezing at the same point and then giving me the same unknown error code 1439. Can anyone help.

  • Error Message - Getting back to factory settings

    I have tried everything that I have read on here to try and get my music back on my iPod...and nothing has worked. I have a 20GB click wheel iPod...sorry for the length of this in advance!
    While updating my iPod, it decided to stop working (iTunes froze up). When I plugged it in again I would get an error message saying that iTunes could no longer read the contents of my iPod, and to use the updater software to get it back to factory settings. I have uninstalled and reinstalled older versions of iTunes, the newest version, along with the more recent updater software, and nothing is working. I have also tried resetting my iPod manually - through the menu and by holding the menu and select keys down. Also, I am not sure if this means anything or not...but when I plug in my iPod with iTunes running, and I get the do not disconnect screen, there is also a circle made up of 2 arrows in the top left hand corner that i have never seen before. Has anyone else experienced this problem or is there a known solution for this? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for the help!

    I did some reading in the Connections forum...some people seemed to have solved their problem similar to mine by using fire wire - so I went out and bought a fire wire card...but guess what - no luck!
    This time I did get an error message though with a number...it is: "Attempting to copy the the disk "Rachel" failed. An unknown error occurred (-124)." Is it time to just throw the iPod out?
    On another note, I put a new hard drive in my computer, formatted it, and tried getting the synch to work. No luck there either. I started off with the software that came with my iPod, and gradually moved up to the new versions. Nothing worked - it always froze on song 25 (and they were always different songs because I always tried a different library). I hate to say it, but I feel like I have tried everything and anything to get this to work, and nothing seems to do the trick. I don't understand how the people in the Apple store said it worked fine and they had no problems getting anything to synch on here. I am not trying to sound rude here...i am just a bit frustrated! If you can think of anything else B that might help out, I would appreciate it If not...then it might be time to call it quits and never look back at Apple again!
    Thanks again for the help B - it is greatly appreciated!!

  • Iso 5 error message 3004 when i tried to update.

    I got an error message i think it was 3004 and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode and i dont want to restore it because i will have to load all my pictures back on there!

    Try to put it into recovery mode:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

    Apple does not support downgrading, so that is probably why you are getting error 3194. As you have to hack the phone to downgrade all bets are off now. As some of the help links and files direct you to jailbreak your phone if you followed any of those you now have bigger problems.

  • IOS 7 error message 3004

    Downloaded IOS 7 via itunes. Keep receiving error message 3004 when trying to update iphone. Itunes is currently the most recent update and Iphone was at it's most recent update prior to IOS 7. How can I resolve error message.

    This a general error regarding internet connection.
    The Apple servers are slammed right now with iOS 7 downloads AND activation requests.
    I'd suggest restarting your computer if you can to clear all of the caches and trying again.

  • Installing the latest update on my iPad - error message saying the iPad couldn't synchronize because of an internal error, and then - error message (OxE8004017) when trying to save, and then (2003) when trying to restore - nothing works anymore

    Installing the latest update on my iPad - error message saying the iPad couldn't synchronize because of an internal error, and then - error message (OxE8004017) when trying to save, and then (2003) when trying to restore - nothing works anymore - On my iPad the only thing I see is a connector cord to iTunes and nothing else.
    What can I do  ???

    Same issue for me, recently I started having issues with apps no longer being able to access my Facebook account. But the iPad Facebook account settings will not accept my password, even though the Facebook app and Safari can access my account fine. The only significant events I recall that have occurred that may have triggered this have been that via my Facebook account I killed off a lot of so called authorised connections and I changed my user name, but still have the same email address and password.
    I have tried just about every solution put forward on the net, short of a factory restore, back to new, on my iPad.
    I have also; deleted my iCloud account, deleted the Facebook app and account, deleted Safari data.
    One would think that after I have deleted my account from the iPad that it would ask for both username/email address and password, but it only asks for password, so the username is still stored somewhere that I am unable to delete.
    I also see that no one seems to have been able to get an answer from Apple. So I'm guessing they have absolutely no idea themselves.
    I am hesitant to put my username on Facebook back to what it was as Facebook only give you a few chances to change your username, then you are locked.
    I have iOS 7.1.1 installed.
    I did have a lot of respect for Apple and their devices as they just worked, but they are becoming tarnished by ignoring what seems to be a growing issue.

  • I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6.  In the process, I ran into a problem and had to restore factory settings.  After syncing the phone, I see that 218 apps need to be updated. When selecting "update all," it says "manage local device storage usage." How?

    I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6.  In the process, I ran into a problem and had to restore factory settings.  After syncing the phone, I see that 218 apps need to be updated. When selecting "update all," it says "Cannot Download.  There is not enough available local storage to download these items.  You can manage your local device storage usage in Settings."
    How can this be the case when I haven't changed any apps from before updrading to iOS6, and I don't have any music yet on the phone?  Why is it telling me there is not enough local space?

    Hi RileyAvaCadenRiver,
    If you recently updated your iPhone to iOS7, you will need to update iTunes on your computer to iTunes 11.1 or newer for it to correctly recognize the iPhone. You may find the following link helpful:

    After opening certain websites, pogo, firefox 4.0.1 closes with no error message. When I restore the session I get: Well, this is embarrassing. Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.
    I have had this problem before and had to reinstall an earlier version of firefox.
    The error console has a long list of errors, many of them end with: does not implement nsIObserver. Is there a way to send the information on the error console to firefox support?
    Redownloading Firefox 4.0 will fix my problem until I either close firefox or turn off my computer. The problem recurs when I open firefox again.
