Having trouble with synching (iTunes/iPhone) & Security software

I use ZoneAlarm Security Suite on my PC. Ihave been using iTunes/iPhone successfully for a couple of years with this software, but after the most recent iPhone o/s upgrade I get communications errors that prohibit my iPhone from syching properly. It often comes up saying that I need to restore my iPhone.
Any suggestions on firewall settings that may be causing these issues?

Find a new friend. If you don't have access to the last computer your phone synced with, you will have to force your phone into recovery mode & restore it as a new device to remove the passcode. All data on your phone will be lost:
Turn the phone off using the Sleep/Wake button, then the slide to power off. If you are unable to do that, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When your phone turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. Then, 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. In your case, you will only be able to restore as new.

Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

Having trouble with the "SIMYO" iPhone 4 internet configuration.. Anybody could help me?

I am having trouble with the "SIMYO" iPhone 4 internet configuration.. I've been trying to do the configuration 10-15 times now and still, it doesn't work. Anybody could help me please!!

I don't see SIMYO anywhere on the list of supported carriers: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
Unless you're talking about a carrier on this list, you're going to have to work it out with them. It's possible their network is just not compatible. They are definitely not a supported carrier.

If the card was issued in the same country as you and your account are based and the page that you posted from doesn't help, then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

We are currently having troubles with our iTunes. Playing different songs and randomly it changes the name of the song to pink time after time. We could go through 5 songs before it will change the next one to song title time after time and artist pink

Hi I am having trouble with iTunes! Randomly when I click on a song in iTunes it changes the song title to time after time and the artist is pink.
I could click on 4 songs and they will be normal but then the 5th one will change the info to time after time.
I haven't done anything different or new, it started doing it all of a sudden, well that I have noticed anyway. Please help.

Hello Schimi. The Time Capsule is a kind of product that offer you two possibility:
- To use the TC as a router or as an external HD.
The difference between WPA and WPA 2 are:
- They are two kinds of internet connection.
WPA uses dynamic key encryption , which means that the key is constantly changing and makes the invasion of a wireless network more difficult than WEP . WPA is considered one of the highest levels of wireless security for your network and is recommended if your devices support this kind of encryption . Newer routers offer WPA2 security . WPA2 is compatible with WPA , but offers higher security level . In fact, it meets the high standards of many government agencies . If the router and computer support WPA2 , this should be your choice.
If you need any help or if you find some difficult setting up it you can contact Apple Support.
I am sure that they can help you with that.
I am sory for the delay. I holpe that you solve your issue.

I am having trouble with syncing my iPhone 5 to my iTunes on my macbook

I have been trying to sync my iphone 5 with my macbook but itunes keeps saying 'error (-54)'. I downloaded new albums and they will not sync onto my iphone, and this has never been a problem in the past. Also, on my itunes, when i click on 'Iphone' it shows some of the song titles faded out with a dotted circle beside them, indicating that they cannot be played. I have tried restarting my mac but it has not worked. Could anyone help me?

Hello, katieokane1.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like a possible permission issue with the iTunes Media Folder. Follow the steps in the article below to make sure the permissions are set to read and write. You can also navigate to ~/music/iTunes/iTunes Media and get info on to make sure permissions are set to read and write.

I am having trouble with updating Itunes

Hi can anyone help me out with this. The other day I tried to update my Itunes from 11.1.3 to 11.1.4. The update wasn't successful. I then tried to update via the Itunes website however that led me to a error message. That message said "Service apple mobile device. (Apple Mobile Device) Failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
Another thing that I tried was restarting my computer and that didn't help with the issue. I uninstalled Itunes and I am still getting the above error message when I am attemping to reinstall it.
Has anyone else had this issue? If so is there anything that was done to resolve the issue? Everything with my itunes was working fine until I tried to update it.

Hello, JRA24ever.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I think the best option would be to completely uninstall all components of iTunes in the order specified of the article below. Once this is done attempt to install iTunes again.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Having Troubles With Restoring Refurbished iPhone 4.

I have just received a refurbished phone as my iPhone 4 went for a swim. Now I am trying to restore my phone through iTunes, and after three tries its still saying my phone needs to be restored. My contacts have transfered but none of my apps will and it doesnt give me any sync button or anything. After I go through the whole restore process, iTunes says yet again "This computer has previously been synced with an iPhone or another iOS device." Then gives me an option to either set it up as a new phone, or restore from back up. What am I doing wrong?

Anyone have any ideas what I could do?
