Hi i have a an iphone 4 that wont turn on or restore. i managed to get it in recover mode but get error 21. the apple sign will *** on then off nd repeats..please help i dnt have warranty i brought it brand new but off the streets..

my iphone4 was workiing fine till i tried to upgrade to os7. The upgrade stopped because i didnt have enough juice and i just had lost my charger. Right after that i noticed the home button wasnt working right so i turned the phone off and attempted to tuurn it back on but nothing happened and i know i had like 20% of battery life left when i turned it off. i searched on the internet and found out i probably had to restore it. so i got it to go into recovery mode and connected it to my computer and itunes. itunes recognized the device said i had to restore it so i clicked the button. It started to do whatever it does but out of nowhere error 21 pops up.i also noticed that right before the error 21 message came up the phone did try to come on(apple came up) but then it cut right back off and repeated that over and over....i need self-help solutions because i dnt have warranty or $85 to send it in because i just paid $100. can i get it jailbroken even though it wont turn on? will that fix it? thank you for taking the time to read this even if you dont have an answer. Have a nice day people

We don't discuss jailbreaking in this Apple hosted forum, and in any case, it's never recommended. Have you tried this:
Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
Edit: I see it looks like you've already tried this. Here's an article about specific error numbers in iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694

  • I upgraded to 20gb iCloud but it isn't enough to back up. I get constant error messages saying there is no backup space and I've not been able to use the upgrade. Apple promised to refund then didn't. Please help is there anyway I can use this space?

    Please see the subject line thanks

    If you were told they would refund the price for the iCloud storage - Contact AppleCare and ask to speak with a senior advisor.  Have the case number for the promised refund available.
    If you are trying to update your device, but you don't have sufficient space to download and install the update, you need to delete content from your device.  Buying storage in iCloud does not add space to the device which is what you need.
    You can always update using a computer with iTunes installed - this method is faster, and will allow you to make a backup on the local computer (Local backups restore faster than iCloud backups).

  • TS2446 hai friendz, i try to download application fro apps sore , but i am getting 1 error getting error message "your apple id has been disabled".... plz help me...

    hai friendz,
    i try to download application fro apps sore , but i am getting 1 error getting error message "your apple id has been disabled"..
    plz help me...

    Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your iPad / iPhone / iPod Touch then try logging out of your account on the device by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

  • IDVD is giving an error during multiplexing or it will force close while burning. Please help!

    I've been using iDVD to burn videos for awhile now. This time around it is either force closing while burning or near the end it gives a error while multiplexing and will not continue. Is there something I can do to fix this? Or another program I can use to burn the videos to DVD.

    Read Bengt Wärleby's post in this topic for possible causes: Multiplexing Error: Apple Support Communities.
    Also follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • I am getting ERROR -50 when trying to export my 3 minute video. PLEASE HELP!  I have 11G on hard drive, but comp seems to run slow on start up.... can I export or copy it in some other fashion?  Desperately need help.  THANK YOU!

    Oops, Looks like I said most of what I wanted to in my title. Sorry ppl, my first time here.
    So, my vid won't export.  And I need it soon.  I'm kind of in a panic.  First time I've had this problem.  The music from iTunes also aliases at times, but I can get it to play without that problem on occasion.  (What causes that?  That does happen with frequency, but then goes away at times.)
    BUT, is there ANY WAY TO EXPORT or move a copy of the video somewhere else?  (How, if so?) 
    And what does ERROR -50 mean?
    Also, please know I am fairly computer illiterate, so if one could speak in the simplest terms possible, I would really dig that.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

    Hi
    This is an easy Q: to set - but there is no simple and plain answer only a lot of more or less plausibly suggestions.
    Error -50 = paramErr  Error in user parameter list
    Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ?
    If so it Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
    What this means in Your situation is above me.
    • free space on internal boot hard disk 11Gb is on the limit to work when You select Export and might be it.
    Video used - there are several video formats/codecs and iMovie can not use all of them, they evolve to fast.
    • So try to find out by opening a raw video in QuickTime-player and then open Inspector (cmd+I) and read
    Video Format/Codec: nnnnnnnn
    What does it read ?
    Pictures
    • in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
    Audio
    • from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
    I convert all audio to .aiff - in iTunes I burn out as an Audio-CD .aiff (not .mp3) and use the files on this in my movie projects.
    Some times it's needed to trash the "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file in You USER-Library/Preferences (not Library on Root level (when opening Macintosh HD) - but the one in Your home folder.
    Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
    • Library - at root level
    • Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into
    from Luke Burns
    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..
    Yours Bengt W

  • How to fix a iphone 4 that wont turn on?

    my iphone4 will not turn on. It's been of since March 15th, 2013. I tried hooking it up to itunes and it the computer did not pick up that the phone was connected. Still off. I held the home and lock button down for about 30 seconds and its still off. I have checked my phone and i dont see any signs of water damages. Yes, it has been cracked and it is still cracked. What else should i do?

    Connect to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iPhone turns ON. If still nothing, clean charging port with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol.

  • I keep getting error 3259 when my download is just about to finish. Please help!!!!!

    When my download is finished, while it's finalizing it gives me the 3259 error. Any suggestions of what this is or how I could fix it?

    ok i kept getting the same error also so i opened up the itunes store and redownloaded it and it worked. itunes cant connect with the store so that causes it to time out. or so i think. if this doesnt work adjust your firewall settings to allow itunes to connect to the internet.let me know if this works

  • I can not get the phone to turn back on. My email had been blinking off so I tried turning it off. After holding down top button and bottom button it the apple sign came up then went out as it has before when I have approached it this way. But now no go.

    My phone is dead it will not turn back on after taking a step I have used in the past when I have had issues with the phone. In the past I haeld the top button and the button on the face down and it will turn black then the apple sign comes up then off. I can then turn it back on and it seems to be reset and all is good not so today. It will not turn back on.

    1. Plug phone into AC adaptor and charge for at least 30 minutes
    2. If not on, reset phone: press both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
    If no reponse to above, there is hardware damage and you need to take it to Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.

  • Every time I sync my Iphone 5c(with ios 8) to Itunes, it 1. deletes all of my purchased music 2. deletes all of my album artwork 3. replaces all of my deleted songs. please help! this is driving me crazy!

    Every time I sync my Iphone 5c(with ios 8) to Itunes, it 1. deletes all of my purchased music 2. deletes all of my album artwork 3. replaces all of my deleted songs. please help! this is driving me crazy! It syncs 100+ songs, when I only want to sync 1! I'm running Itunes 11.3.1.2

    After having experienced similar problems and having it back to work, I have a few suggestions:
    - Try to find out if the syncing stops at a particular track or song. That might - out of the blue - have gotten corrupted in one way or another. Since that song will not be on the iPod, iTunes will try over and over to put it on and crash in one way or another;
    - reformat the iPod as described in the iTunes 9 crash-thread. It takes time (at first it seems to do nothing, but that is because the green bar is moving with very small steps);

  • My iphone 5 is no longer charging with new apple cord and lint has been cleared. Please help.

    My iphone 5 is no longer charging with a new apple cord and lint has been cleared. Please help. It just started happening this week and I have tried everything. Is this a software / driver problem?  We all know the battery doesn't last a full day if you "use" your phone like a normal person. I am very frustrated! My daughters iphone 5 started doing this a few days later than mine as well.

    Not much help I'm afraid but I use my iPhone 5 like a 'normal' person and it's battery almost all day. Perhaps there's a hardware fault somewhere? Have you tried the usual reset and restore?
