Error message!!! pls HELP

my iphone has gone in a backup mode or something. and when i try to restore my iphone and innstall the 3.0 update i get a 1604 error!!
if any one got anything on this, pleas help me.
i've tried:
- uninstall itunes and install it again
-updated ituned
-changed usb port
-created a new user acc. on my computer
-reset my iphone
-restart my computer
and it doesnt work!

Hi Everyone,
After downloading the new 3.0 my 7 month old, no problem iphone died! In the last 46 hours I've tried all of the above, spent numerous hours on the apple support phone..............and NOTHING, nothing, nothing works.
I went to the apple shop this morning, had my phone restored and it was all fine, I couldn't wait to get home and sync everything back with the new 3.0......No no no no.. as soon as I put it into my PC........it needed to restore again!!But.......... it won't work!You cannot restore.
I have checked the device manager, the drivers, uninstalled itunes, reinstalled itunes, changed the usb to the back of the pc, held all the right buttons at the right times, rebooted etc etc etc. I have tried it on several other PC's, same thing,it prompts you to restore,and then ends up with the error reports and can't finalise. 50% of the time itunes doesn't recognise the iphone, BUT, when it does, it prompts you to restore, and when its finished it gives you an error report number and a prompt to go to the iphone restore page. So far my errors are; 1611, 1602, 1004, 2002, 1604. I was told this evening I couldn't restore back to 2.1.
So what now?? Apple says the phone is fine. ???!!!
Does anyone have any solutions......other than buying a palm pre?? ;-)))

  • Error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available" and saving to wrong Drive

    I am trying to upgrade iTunes to 10.7 on my PC but I keep getting the error message "iTunes Helper Resources not available". Diagnostics take me a support page which talks about not being able to see the device in iTunes - but I can see the device without problems.
    I thought I would try reinstalling iTunes from the webpage and it downloaded to my PC fine but when I went to setup, it showed me it is saving to a DVD drive - not my Hard drive. It also won't let me change the location for the file. I have no idea how that's happened as I obviously don't use the DVD drive as a USB (although the PC see's it as one) and I've never chosen it as the location for iTunes in the 7-8 years that I've been using it.
    I then thought I'd try uninstalling it and reinstalling it (to the correct drive) but again, it comes up that the DVD drive is invalid and won't uninstall iTunes.
    So I'm stuck and haven't been able to find anything helpful on the support pages or in iTunes Help.
    Please someone help ...
    Thanks.

    Try the following user tip. (Probably, the section on clearing the installation database might be best given that you've currently got a drive on the problematic letter at the moment.)

  • Certificate Related Error Message/Please Help

    Today I received an "Unable to verify SSL server pop.gmail.com" message on my Mail server. I transfer mail from gmail to Mail.
    "Mail was unable to verify the identity of this server, which has a certificate issued to "pop.gmail.com". The error was:
    The certificate for this server has expired.
    You might be connecting to a computer that is pretending to be "pop.gmail.com", and putting your confidential information at risk. Would you like to continue anyway?"
    In the lower box, it lists the Version, Serial Number, Issuer Name (which is from Zaire, Western Cape, and lists the organization as Thawte Consulting cc and other info, Subject name is Google Inc, common name is pop.gmail.com, then gives a Signature Algorithm, Parameters, etc.
    It won't let me Copy and Paste so I have not hit the Continue button for concern of losing that info for reference.
    I went to Help which instructed me to do the following:
    I'm getting a certificate-related error message
    If you get an error message with the word "certificate" in it, make a copy of the message and contact your Internet service provider (ISP) or network administrator. The error message may help them diagnose your problem.
    If your mail server uses a self-signed Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate, each time you open Mail you'll see an error message stating that the certificate is not valid. You can continue, but you'll see the same message every time you open Mail. To stop seeing this message, you can permanently accept the certificate.
    To permanently accept a self-signed SSL certificate:
    Click the Show Certificate button in the error message.
    The certificate appears with a certificate icon in the upper-left corner.
    Hold down the Option key and drag the certificate icon to the desktop.
    Double-click the certificate icon on the desktop, and choose X.509 Anchors from the pop-up menu. Click Add.
    The certificate is permanently accepted.
    You must have permission to administer the computer for this procedure to work.
    For information about encryption, click "Tell me more."
    Instead of asking for the "580 Anchors" , it asked simply "Do you want to add the certificates from pop.gmail.com.cer to a keychain?"
    I clicked "Add"
    The pop.gmail.com certificate AND Thawte Freemail Member AND Thawte Personal Freemail certificates is now entered in my Keychain.
    There are no dates listed under "Created" or "Modified" for those certs under Keychain.
    IS THIS OK OR DO I HAVE A PROBLEM SINCE THESE THAWTE CERTS ARE LOCATED IN ZAIRE???
    IF IT IS A PROBLEM, HOW DO I FIX/CHANGE/OK/DELETE/MODIFY, ETC. IT? PLEASE BE CLEAR.
    CAN I/SHOULD I JUST DELETE ALL THREE/SOME OF THE CERTS NOW IN KEYCHAIN?
    WILL I STILL BE ABLE TO GET MAIL AS BEFORE THIS MESSAGE IF DELETE THE CERTS?
    I believe this is the first time I have received a message concerning certificates so I am naive concerning this.
    THANK YOU.

    I had similar gmail/cert problem yesterday - not for the first time!
    I deleted the prefs (user/library/preferences), deleted the gmail account (mail prefernces), ran applejack ( http://applejack.sourceforge.net/ ) & added the account from scratch.
    Annoying I know, and my inbox was 200+ emails but nobody seems to know what or why this happens (my previous post) http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=243186&tstart=0
    Perhaps this is related to certain emails (an email scam), i run 3 macs & the mail account on the affected machine receives my business email & this is the only machine the gmail/cert problem occurs.

    That's definitely enough to start.
    It sure seems like it should work...and then I saw that you're using a router. It could very well be that the router is the weak link here.
    Instead connecting to your network router, try using a direct USB connection from your MBP. If that doesn't work, you read this post, which may be relevant to your problem:

    It seems you're up to date with software. Post with your results.

    My blackberry tour does not sync my contacts anymore with outlook 2007. I do not get an error message. Help!!

    Norton is probably the issue. It can really screw things up, that is one reason I never use it. See if you can temporarily disable it and then try the sync and see if that works.
    On a Mac, there is a way to run a program that repairs permissions for the user, not a Windows thing.
