Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.
Look at this discussion that I found in the More Like This box on the right. You can try the recommendation in it as well.

Plz help my iPad wont turn

Plz help my iPad wont turn on I pressed the home and power button and the screen just turn into a glitch plz help

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

You need to install the adobe flash player plugin. Download only from the adobe flash player plugin download page. Mount the downloaded dmg and launch the installer. Check the agree to terms to enable the install button and then click the install button.
Once installed, the next launch of your browser should allow you to play youtube videos and flash videos on other flash video sites.

Error code 3194 please help ıphone 4 wont restore,

Hello everyone
Having a problem with iphone 4 while trying to upgrade from 4.3.5 to 5.1.1.
iPhone 4 wont restore!!!!!! it gives 3194 error.
the phone is bought in Russia and there is no sim lock
On the screen, it says connect to itunes
please help what should I do?

Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
Error 3002: If you experience this error while updating an iPod touch (2nd generation) or iPhone 3G, please use the standard update or restore process in iTunes (click Update or Restore).
Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again.
Error 3194: You may not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes. If the issue persists, follow the steps above in "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com".

Urgent help needed, can I restore N900 Backup file...

i owned a N900 (now sold out)
before selling i took backup of contacts from backup restore option in application section
now i bought a N8 but i m not able to restore my contacts
1. is there any way to restore them in N8?
2. if not, can i convert them in TEXT or any readable format
urgent help needed
thanks in advance

The backup procedures built into the phone are only designed for restoring to the same phone (ie: in case or data corruption, software update or repair etc.), they can't usually be used to restore to a phone with a different operating system.
You should have backed up with Ovi Suite before selling the N900, that would have been able to restore to the N8.

HELP my iPhone wont restore!!!!

I connected my iPhone to my MacBook and as usual he connects with iTunes.
My iTunes asked for an update on the software of the phone. I confirmed and the process started.
The update stopped but before finishing.
I can't start up my iPhone and when I connect it to my iTunes he asks to restore.
He starts restoring but then stops and gives an error 1611.
Can somebody help me??? I have no idea what happend and how to restore this.

READ ALL OF THESE NOTES THROUGH AND THROUGH TWICE before proceeding. You'll need to somewhat anticipate the next steps as you're doing this!
1. Use a second computer and install iTunes... (DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT uninstall iTunes from computer #1 (AKA) the computer you are having the issues with. (You may lose ALL of your iPhone info which is saved on computer #1. The info is already gone from your iPhone, so you will have to restore it!)
2. On computer number 2, once iTunes is installed, hook up your iPhone. iTunes should tell you that it has found an iPhone in restore mode and it must be restored. Go through all of the steps until your iPhone is successfully restored. It should be very easy and iTunes will walk you through it. This will delete ALL of your info on your iPhone (which is really already lost) and it will get the iPhone back to the factory settings (just like it was the day you bought it)...
3. If you keep getting errors saying the iPhone can't be restored, re-install iTunes on computer #2 and try again. (I REPEAT, DO NOT UNINSTALL ITUNES FROM COMPUTER #1) or any computer you may have synced your phone to previously.
If reinstalling iTunes doesn't fix this and you still can not get the iPhone to restore, go to a 3rd computer and try until you get the iPhone restored to factory settings.
4. DO NOT PLUG YOUR iPhone INTO COMPUTER #1 YET!
Once the iPhone is successfully restored to its factory settings, walk back to computer #1. AGAIN, DO NOT PLUG IN YOUR iPhone YET!!
5. On computer #1 open iTunes. Go to Edit/Preferences/Devices and check the box that says "prevent iPhones/iPods from syncing automatically". If this is not checked your iPhone may sync to a corruped restore point and you'll have to start over and re-restore your iPhone.
*Note the device backup window on this screen. There should be at least one date and time from when you previously restored your iPhone. If not, you are probably screwed. Click OK and close that window.
6. Plug in your iPhone and let it do whatever it does. Now, on the left hand side of iTunes RIGHT mouse click on your iPhone icon. Click "restore from backup"
There will be a drop down menu that lets you select from your previous sync dates. AGAIN, if you haven't synced you could be screwed.
Select a date from you which you think the iPhone will work, and click RESTORE.
This should restore your iPhone back to that sync date.
This worked for me!!

My Ipad Wont Restore!!?!?

it says that the Ipad "Ipad" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (9). What does this mean? HELP ME PLEASE!

This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Serious help needed with icloud restore

Hey guys and ladies, i am in a serious state of confusion.
firstly with my old email address i was getting alot of spam and fake emails, so i changed my email address, and i updated my apple id to this as well. all going well, and then i decided to get an iphone 5.
i was using iphone 4s and backup my photos and apps to icloud so i could restore it to my new iphone 5 today.
well that hasnt worked out great. its still asking for my old account/apple id password and even the senior level of applecare support cant figure it out either.
i have lots of important family photos sitting in the icloud that i truly dont want to lose. when i reset and try again still asks for the old and new logins.
been a nightmare today.
any help or tips would be great.

Since the email address is no longer active you'll need help from iTunes store support to reset the password. (Even though this is an iCloud account, they deal with Apple ID issues all the time.) Suggest you contact them here, explain that you are trying to access your iCloud backup but it isn't accepting your Apple ID password and you are unable to reset it because the primary email address associated with the account is no longer active and need their assistance: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

Ipad wont restore itself.

I forgot my passcode to my iPad (sadly). So I have to restore it however I have been stuck in the restore mode for about 2 days now. I took down my firewall and norton security. I just tried to "restore" again the SAME EXACT ERROR came up again. So now im frustrated and tired. What do I do next. I am currently downloading King Peungin solution to see if it works.

This helped meRe: Failed update from ios 3.2.2 to 5.1 for iPad 1, what can I do?
Nov 12, 2011 3:02 AM (in response to sophiefm)
Try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.
If that doesn't work then you could try downloading the update via a browser and then in iTunes pressing and holding the shift key on Windows (command key on Mac) when clicking the Check For Updates button which should let you navigate to the downloaded file :
ipad1
iPad 2 wifi-only
iPad 2 GSM/sim
iPad 2 CDMA
I am tired and I would really appreciate if someone could help me out. Thank You.
I have already tried the hold home button and start button crap. everytime it begins to restore it goes so far then gets stuck and pops up on the computer saying it has resotred leave ipad in computer for a few seconds. but all the ipad does is pop up connect to itunes.

Read his post again. He said that he used a USB port directly on the computer, do not use a hub to connect the iPad to iTunes.
" but i read on another post to not use a usb hub but plug directly into back of computer. did this and it is now working"

PLEASE HELP iPhone 4s wont restore despite every fix error 29/21

Hi all,
I thought I was being clever telling a mate at work Id be able to fix his 4s after he tried to upgrade to ios7 and it basically bricked. when on it shows the cable and world symbol and nothing else.
what ive done so far:
entered dfu and tried to restore numerous different firmwares including the latest but no luck. I will say that restoring on itunes to latest firmware gets 99% there before failing error 29 (sometimes 21).
edited hosts file in terminal to remove the gs.apple file. does nothing
downloaded tiny umbrella to remove cydia thingy but its not highlighted anyway
exited itunes before doing any host file edits and rebooted.
if i don't edit hosts file i dont get an error code i get 'requested build cannot be done' message
phone is currently useless but i cant understand why i cant boot an earlier firmware to get it out of this loop of failure??
any help in non tech terms would be gratefully received other than 'chuck it away and buy another' - this MUST BE FIXABLE
Kris

No jailbreak. all of the online 'fixes' related to installing tiny umbrella to exit the restore mode and unchecking a Cydia (whatever that is) is one of the main points. I was just suggesting it doesn't work.
I Assume u work for apple based on the fact you would care about a jailbroken phone (I can't imagine it bothers anyone else) so perhaps you could look into this fault? I have read about a battery fault issue but I can't see how one day on iOS 6 it works and then on attempting to install 7 it's now a battery fault? Makes no sense. Thanks
