Error message when connecting iphone

Every time I connect my iphone to my computer, a message comes up in itunes saying that it cannot read the content of my iphone and that I should restore it to factory settings. This didn;t used to happen...only within the last few months. I also just bought a new Macbook and the same message comes up when I try connecting it to that computer as well. The first time this occurred I clicked restore and noticed it deleted all my music, so i stopped it before it could delete everything else. Is the only way to resolve this to restore it to factory settings, and if so will all my applications and contacts be erased?

All data on your phone will be erased, and no, there is no way around this fact other than restore your phone as a new device. This shouldn't present a big problem, as all of your content should be in your iTunes library or in supported applications on your computer. If for some reason it's not, you've got problems. You'll have to use third-party software to extract this data from your phone first. But, there's no guarantee this will work if iTunes can't read the content of your phone:

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...

Error message when connecting to iTunes says my new iPad 4 can't be connected as it requires version 10.7 or later. Surely a new iPad already has the latest version, and if it doesn't how do I get it?

Not the iPad - your computer must be running iTunes 10.7 in order to sync. It has nothing to do with iTunes on the iPad.
You can download iTunes for your computer here.

Error message when connecting 80GB Video iPod

I'm getting this error message when trying to connect my 80GB Video iPod:
"The iPod (name) cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-48)."
Never seen this one before.
I haven't synced this iPod for a few weeks but it always behaved fine before, taking a few seconds to appear in iTunes (v7.5) then syncing perfectly when I hit the Sync button (I have it set to manually sync only because sometimes I want to change the contents or only sync music).
Before syncing on this occasion, I did an iPod software update via iTunes - iTunes said there was a newer version (1.2.3). After the update, I disconnected the iPod for a few minutes (somehting I wanted to check content before syncing), then reconnected it. At first iPod took about a minute to show up in iTunes - way too long. I Reset the iPod and tried again but still LONG delay to appear in iTunes (again about 1 minute). I did another Reset - same result. Then I did a complete Restore, after which syncing to restore the contents gave problems - it refused to finish the sync. I had to disconnect and start again, syncing the data one section per sync session - Contacts, music, videos, iCal - which seemed to work fine. Then I disconnected, waited a few minutes then reconnected the iPod to check. It wouldn't connect at all. Did a Reset, tried o connect again and it did connect but then proceeded to resync all my contacts taking almost 30 minutes (way too long) to do so (I had made NO changes in Address Book since that data was put in there). I tried to reconnect again but then got the error message (above). Did another total Restore and the same shenannigans happened. Now, I have an iPod with data on it and works fine, but iTunes won't recognise it - just gives this error message every time.
By the way, my 8GB Nano (software 1.1.3) seems to sync fine on the same system, same computer.
Could this be the 1.2.3 iPod software giving issues? I appreciate any help because I also use this iPod for recording for my work, which getting a little urgent now.
Many thanks.

Thanks Zevoneer, but no real success. I did all that but when I tried to sync after it, it got partially through the sync (about 10% I'd guess) and presented an error message saying that the disk couldn't be read form or written to (sorry but I forgot the error number). I disconnected the iPod, waited a few minutes then reconnected and again got the message but then the ipod continued to finish the sync, even though almost all of the music and 2 of my 4 videos didn't go over to the iPod. I'm now thinking that this just isn't satisfactory reliability from the device since I use it a lot in my work and rely on it. But this new iPod is only a few months old, had very little use and only made about 12 recordings - In comparison, I've used the Nano heaps but now want to move over to the bigger one, basically for more capacity and bigger screen for video. I wonder if it's a hard drive failure in this iPod?

Error message when connecting external hdd.....NTFS 3G error.

Im receiving the following error message when trying to connect a Clickfree portable hdd.
I am also recieving the message when connecting a WD portable hdd that was previously working
before installing the Clickfree hdd.....
NTFS-3G
Could not mount /dev/disk2s1 at volumes/CF storage because
the following problems occurred.
/Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/support/fusefs.kext failed to load (libkern/kext) link error
Check the sys kernal logs for errors or try kextutil (8). The MacFuse file sys is not available (71)"
I am trying to install it on a mac OS X 10.6.8
Can anyone help please?
thanks

Regarding uninstalling, this is from the FAQ on the MacFuse site (http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/wiki/FAQ):
Q 2.3. How can I uninstall MacFUSE?
A: Launch the Mac OS X System Preferences application and go to the MacFUSE preference pane. Click on the "Remove MacFUSE" button. This will uninstall all MacFUSE components except the preference pane itself.
You can keep the MacFUSE preference pane around should you decide to install MacFUSE again in the future. If you do wish to remove it, you do it just like how you would remove any other non-Apple preference pane: In System Preferences, control-click (right-click) on the MacFUSE icon and you will see "Remove ..." as an action.
Only if you had the "Show Beta Versions" button checked in the MacFUSE prefpane, you'll have a property list (plist) file remaining at this point:/Library/Preferences/com.google.macfuse.plist. To remove it, you should uncheck the button before you remove the prefpane as described above.
Note that an official (correct) MacFUSE installation will have a preference pane if you have MacFUSE 2.0 or later installed. If you have an older version of MacFUSE, you can uninstall as follows.
The other thing you can do if you're having problems is go into System Preferences and there should be an icon for MacFuse. By going into that there may be an option to disable it. If so, do that first before attempting to uninstall and try mounting your drives again.

Error message when connecting Nano to computer - please help!

I just started getting an error message when I try to disconnect my Ipod Nano from my computer after it's done charging/updating. The message tells me the device can't be stopped because other programs are utilizing files on my nano.
I tried restarting my computer, but it froze. It's happened twice now and I have had to disconnect it when it says not to. Please help!

I have been ejecting it. This problem only began recently. I read through about 30 pages of this forum and found someone postoing about the same problem. They said it may be McAfee Viruscan in the background.I'll check that out.

"invalid argument" error message when connecting to the App store after upgrading iphone 4 to 5.0 firmware

Hi everyone,
I have seen many topics about this problem but none of them helped and they seem to date a little bit so I would like to ask again.
here is the situation :
we have two iphone 4 in the house and everything was going fine until we did the update to the new 5.0 firmware. there was no problem while the update had only been applied to the first iphone... but after updating the second one, we now have the same problem on both iphones. We can still connect to the internet from the iphone just fine but the connection is erratic at best with the itunes store because we keep getting cut by this dreaded error message "connection to the itunes store impossible, "invalid argument" occasionnally we'd get a different message that says "connection reset by peer"
- what is invalid argument mean anyway???
- I have tried to renew the lease in the network settings, it didn't work
- I have tried to reset the network setting, it didn't help
- I have checked in the network setting for the IP address, it starts with 192.xx.xx..... which is supposed to be a good thing as opposed to 162.xx.xx....
- I have reset my router, nothing happened...
- I have tried unauthorising my computer to any accounts because we were afraid that using two iphones with two different itunes store accounts one the same computer may have caused these problems.. but no luck
I am running out of ideas, I would like to renew my frustration to apple because we buy these expensive products and still seem to suffers from stupid bugs... I was under the impression that these things were tested !!! anyway if anyone has found a definitive solution to this problem (short of burning your iphone out of anger) it would be deeply appreciated.
thx

IPhone 4S iOS8.1.1 error message when connecting to WhatsApp/Facebook/etc.

Hello I have seen similar messages but for earlier versions of iOS. It is really annoying to receive the following error message: Connect to iTunes to use notifications Push. I do not dare to "reinstall" my iPhone so is there a solution to this problem? Do I "restore iPhone? Sorry I am not a geek and I am a bit lost. I have never had problems with my iPhones and would like to see Apple react because I am sure I not the only one with this problem.
I have tried to close all notifications and then reinstall those I am interested in (like WhatsApp/Viber/FB and only some other but this does not work.
Thank you for your help.

Hairpants: I have the exact same problem with my iPhone, but only on certain Apple TV's. YouTube (via Safari) and TED (app) both play at home fine, but I get the "error occurred loading this content" on the ATV at work. Very frustrating.
Winston: I wouldn't think an app wouldn't "block" AirPlay, but rather wouldn't build support into the app. But I am not an app developer, so I'm just guessing. Example: the new YouTube app only support audio over AirPlay, not video. You don't get an error on your ATV, it just doesn't push the video data.

ITunes sends error message when connecting iPod touch

I have an iPod touch 2nd generation, and I decided to reset it as it was having problems, and now it displays the connect to iTunes message like when I first purchased it. I connected it to iTunes like it wanted, but when I connect the iPod to iTunes, iTunes displays the following error message "iTunes could not connect to the iPod "iPod touch" because an unknown error occurred (0xE000001)". I am not an uninformed person on these matters and have tried everything I can think of i.e. updating iTunes, using a different dock connector etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi Maxwell,
This is most likely a USB connection issue.
Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to a high-speed USB2 port on the computer, using the cable that came with it.
If the issue persists, try the general tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286

Network Timeout error message when downloading iPhone iOS software in iTunes

When I try to download iOS 8.0.2 (or even when I tried to download iOS 8), I receive an error message telling me my network connection has timed out. I even tried troubleshooting by chatting with Apple support. Nothing they tried worked either. I eventually had to go to my neighbor's house and use her Mac and her wi-fi. Even that took a couple tries before she stopped receiving that error message too. I have the most up to date versions of my Mac software and iTunes. I've restarted the computer, my firewall is turned off, I've tried everything support says to do. Any suggestions? My iPhone periodically goes into recovery mode, and I'm afraid that the next time it does, I won't be able to recover it because I won't be able to download the iOS.

Same error (above).... again! I put my iPod into restore mode, but once again, it forces the update.

Ipod error message when connected. Please help

Windows XP
I have had my 30 gigabyte ipod for almost a year and i've never had any problems with it before. But recently our area wasn't able to get broadband. So i was unable to download the recent ipod and itunes updates. I have done that now.. but i think something has affected my ipod. When i plug it into my computer nothing comes up on my ipod screen and i can continue browsing music etc.. i know this isn't supposed to happen. And on my computer an error message comes up saying "USB device not recognized. One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognise it. "
Please help me!

Okay. So i'll tell you the steps i have taken. I've uninstalled all the ipod updaters i had on my computer, eg 2006 and 2005.. and i reinstalled the latest version of itunes. I also went to device manager and all that but it only came up in the list at "unknown device" and i uninstalled the driver and tried to reinstall it but it came up saying it was an unknown device again. I tried right clicking on it and going "scan for hardware updates" but it told me the one i have installed is the nearest match. I also tried connecting my ipod to my computer in disc mode which did nothing. But i have discovered my ipod charges when i plug it in.. but the computer freezes on the black dos screen (as it always has for me when i turn the computer on with the ipod plugged in) and the ipod remains charging. but it seems if i plug it in after windows has loaded it's not even recognised.
I'm sorry for making it so long but i really really need help
