Failed error touch ID iPhone 5s?

Hi, I recently purchased an iPhone 5s from Ebay. Everything seems to be in great condition, except touch ID. Whenever I try to enroll a fingerprint, it immediately says "Failed" before even starting. I have tried cleaning it, restarting, and restoring the factory settings, but it doesn't work. I've seen other people complaining about this, so should i wait for a new iOS update to see if it resolves the issue? I could take it in to the Genius Bar, but it has no warranty; would they replace it?

See if anything in this article helps: iPhone 5s: Using Touch ID

Itunes restore fail (error 9) during iphone OS upgrade from 3.1 to 4.1

Using iTunes 10, when I tried to upgrade my iPhone 3G OS from 3.x to 4.x, it gave error after syncing & backup successfully; with error code 9 stating that it can't restore the backup successfully. Now my phone screen shows "connect to itunes picture" and the itunes says "iTunes has detected an error in recovery mode. You must restore this phone before it can be used with iTunes".
I do NOT want to lose all my iPhone contact phone numbers. Does the iTunes software backup that up be default as well? Will I be able to restore the contacts successfully after resetting the phone to factory device and choosing a previous backup to restore? Are there any other options or safety measures I should take before wiping the phone to factory default through restore? Thanks a lot.

And I want world peace. Neither of us is going to get our wish fulfilled, especially not by posting to a user forum that is not read by Apple engineers or support personnel. However, visiting an Apple store, calling iPhone support, or searching the support site and forum for solutions will probably allow you to fix your phone yourself.

ITunes sync stopped working with my iPhone 5 and Outlook on Windows 7. Error states in part "because the sync server failed to sync the iphone"

I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1.2. I am using iTunes version 11.2.2.3 on Windows 7. After updating to the new version of iTunes I am currently using, the snyc between my Outlook calendar and phone stopped working. I get the error "iTunes could not sync the calendars to the phone xxxxx because the sync server failed to sync the iphone" I followed the instructions here - Troubleshooting Sync Services on Windows with Microsoft Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010 - to no avail, with the exception of not re-installing Outlook. Not an option on my corporate computer. When I run the Sync test, it says it passes -

Try deleting iTunes from your computer. Do not delete your iTunes library. Then download and install a fresh copy if iTunes. Reboot your computer after installation of iTunes.
Then reboot your phone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
Reconnect the phone to your computer running iTunes and see if the sync process will go through.

When I install iOS7 there was an error and my iphone failed

When I install IOS7 there was an error and my iphone failed. How do I restore my phone?

With iTunes 11.1

HT1386 i'm receiving error message; "The iPhone "___" could not be synched beacuse the sync session failed to start."

this is continually happening. This iPhone 4 had corporate information on it. When I left the company on Monday, they remote-wiped the phone. I knew this would happen. Now I can't sync it at all!!!
I started from "new" and attempted to rebuild from scratch.
USB not working properly
WiFi not working properly
iCloud brought most apps back
iTunes brought most apps back
I'm using:
iTunes v10.6.3.25
iOS: 5.1.1
it all appears to be 'ok' then i spend an hour arranging the way-too-many apps--then i get the error that the iPhone will not start the session.
I do NOT get the circular arrows indicating sync on the phone
iTunes DOES attempt to talk to the phone (so it appears in the top dialog bar)
How to I force the session to start?
Thx, Frustrated in Miami -- (this is not a time to talk to Apple with the iPhone 5 craziness!)

Windows 7 64bit has an MTP USB Device Failed error message when I attach my Ipad1

I keep getting an MTP USB Device Failed error message when I plug in my USB cable into my Ipad1. Can someone help?

This is NOT resolved. The "Upper..."Key in the registry editor doesn't exist as you can see below in the image I am providing. This is still an OUTSTANDING issue, can someone please help with resolving this issue, super frustrating.
This is not just an iPAD issue, I get the same problem with my iPhone as well, both (iPhone and iPad) have the latest iOS 6.1.3 installed as well.

"Connection to server failed" error with Gmail exchange server

Hi,
I upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 4.3 on Friday and now I can't access my Gmail account using the Microsoft Exchange settings, I just get a "Connection to server failed" error.
I also have a Google Apps email account for my website and I am able to access it using exchange... it's just my regular Gmail account that I can't access (and that's where all my contacts are stored).
I can access the account using the regular Gmail email settings but that doesn't sync my contacts over the air, which is the advantage of using Exchange that I love the most.
I don't know if it is related or not, but I had a really hard time upgrading to iOS 4.3. I guess the update file was corrupt and it put my phone into restore mode. I had to use a different computer for the upgrade to finally work. Because I was using a different computer I had to restore it as a new phone rather than restoring from a backup, so maybe that has something to do with my email problem.
Message was edited by: KJones75

I seem to have solved the problem. I deleted my Gmail account from the phone and then changed my Gmail password from my computer, and then tried adding the account to my phone again... and surprise, surprise, it worked.
I'm not sure why changing the password fixed the problem, but I'm glad it's working again.

Connection to [i]server[/i] failed (Error NT_STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT)

Hi there,
I'm a long time linux user (casual) and have recently got hold of a machine that I am using as a server. I am able to SSH into this fine from my laptop and I am doing all the setup from ssh.
I am trying to set it up so I can use Samba, however keep getting the following error

I have no windows machines so it's only my laptop and desktop both running linux that I need to connect to this. I have tried googling and searching these forums to no avail
Thanks for any help that can be offered
Mike

If I run the following (on the machine I'm trying to set up the share)
smbclient -L localhost -U%
I got the following output
Connection to localhost failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)
so I thought it might be something incorrect with the iptables side of things, however I haven't really touched that at all and it seems to look correct
iptables -nvL
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 667 packets, 79977 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 157 packets, 20724 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
So from my (very little) knowledge this appears correct (I think)... However it appears that something is blocking access somewhere.

Itunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "TheButler's Phone" because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone, anyone?

iOS 7 ugrade failed " Error:Device disappeared during timed transition". Phone will not now turn on or sync with itunes, any ideas please?

if a Mac OSX Computer is in near - try iBackup Viewer.
This is free of charge and can read your backup.
and thats the main difference. Those tools are reading the saved Data in the backup
but itunes attempts to restore the data from the backup on your iphone. if there are any corrupted data in the backup - the backup restore goes wrong. this can happen during security software or wrong corrupt data already stored on the iphone.
if itunes messed up to restore from backup try this one :
- restore your iphone to factory settings using HT1808 or reset all settings and content direct from iphone
- rename your iPhone (e.g. iPhone Test)
- setup your iPhone as new device -> attempt to make a new backup - if successful -
- click in itunes on restore from backup... and choose your desired backup
or go to:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(Username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista - Windows 7: \Users\(Username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Pull your complete BackupFolder and try a different PC - copy the BackupFolder on this different PC in the same Path above - start iTunes and see if your Backup is there - attempt to restore from Backup again

Sync problem: "...because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone."

The error message in iTunes says:
"iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone "XXXXX's" iPhone because the sync server failed to sync the iPhone."
Relatively new iPhone, sync was working fine until I installed updates, how bad an idea is that? At any rate, after the updates were installed the calendar won't sync.
iPhone 4 running 4.1 (8B117)
WinXP Home running Service Pack 3 and all subsequent updates
Any suggestions - other than I shoulda bought a Droid?
