Can anyone advise me i have an i phone 4 and unfortunately when i plug it in to I tunes its picked up by the lap top but when it goes to reload with the bar on the screen it goes off and all i get is error code 9, i have tried for weeks to fix this and get no were if even tried putting on new firm ware ect but still has nothing, the sync is all grey so i cant click that, basically its a black bit of platic ive got here not an iphone and unfortunately one that has ran out of warranty. I have recently started my own company and need 4 contract phone 1 for me and 3 for my staff, i no the i phone 5 is a new phone so no will be able to tell me if its going to be as useless or unreliable as my 4,my staff are telling me to got for the 5 but im woried about waisting my money, or could any one advise me on an alternative for my lads. Thanks

Pay no attention to iinami, the amount of replies to people saying their handsets must have been jailbroken everytime iTunes throws out an error is tremendous. (Clearly you don't need to have any real knowledge to get to level 3 on these forums, let's hope apple's geniuses know a lot more than some of their customers.)

Solution below.
Error 9
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.

  • Can't get emails with new iOS 6.1.3 on iPhone or iPad. Can anyone advise?

    I downloaded iOS 6.1.3 yesterday on my phone and iPad and can no longer receive email messages. Can anyone help?

    Im having a couple of similar problems since upgrading to ios 6.1.3.  I have an Ipad 2 Wifi
    Bad Elf GPS adapter no longer works with any Map application (Data via Hotspot)
    One of two Gmail accounts no longer work. 
    That Gmail account is linked to a company account/calendar that is mission critical. 
    On my iPhone 4S I have not upgraded and my gmail and calendar still works on so its not a gmail issue.  I have fully deleted and re-added the account on my iPad and I changed the password from a PC on gmail and still no joy. 
    On the Bad Elf it has an led pilot light that flashes when its assisting a map application.  On my wifes wifi iPad (not upgraded to 6.1.3) that pilot flashes when the map applicaiton is open and it tracks as it should during a test drive.  On my iPad the pilot flashes once when the application is accessed and then it stops working. 
    I wish I could revert back to the previous iOS but I know you cant.  Im considering selling this and buying a used iPad on ebay that is still lower than iOS 6.1.3.   Im a shareholder too but I know itll be weeks before these issues are ironed out.  It makes it hard for me to lobby for iPads at work for the rest of the salesforce when this kind of stuff happens.  Grrrrrrrr 

  • Can anyone advise me on AVG Secure Search startup and file tree leftover bloat removal suggestions?

    I recently used the solution provided at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/927950?page=2#answer-364990 by KerriB. It worked. However, I still found traces of the bloatware in two other places. Not sure if I should remove them, or not. Suggestions? I've included images of the locations (slightly edited for security reasons).
    One is in my startup programs. To access: Mouseover an open space on your desktop. Press the Windows key and the R key at the same time. A dialog box pops up. Type in msconfig. Choose the startup tab. This lists all the programs that are starting at startup. As you can see, VProtect Application and ROC_roc_ssl_v12 are listed as manufacturer unknown, but in the file tree, they are in C:\Program Files\AVG Secure Search.
    The other location is accessed via Start, then choosing Computer, Local Disk (C:) (your local disk might be a different letter, obviously) , Program Files. As you can see, there exists an entire folder FILLED with AVG Secure Search items.
    I do have an open support ticket with AVG on this matter, but it being the weekend, I may not hear back for a couple of days. I will let everyone know what they advise when I do hear back from them.
    UPDATE:
    I have complained to AVG, and they offered me a free license for their paid AVG Premium security 2012 edition ... o.O ... anyway, I wrote them back asking about the above left-overs and they responded by sending me a download for a special uninstaller (which you have to install - go irony!). I've included an image of that email (image3).
    After running their uninstaller, I ran a system clean-up, and a deep cleaning run of Advanced Systemcare (my favorite cleanup utility), did a restart, then did a search for "AVG".
    As you can see (image 4), I *STILL* had a folder full of AVG accessed by going to Start, Computer, C:\.
    I did a secure shred delete (again, and Advanced Systemcare tool, but simply deleting probably would be fine) of this AVG folder. Again, I ran a system clean-up, and a deep cleaning run of Advanced Systemcare (my favorite cleanup utility), did a restart, then did a search for "AVG". This time, nothing came up. Great! right? NO. I wanted to be *SURE* it was ALL gone, so I opened Windows Defender (the included firewall that comes with Windows 7), expanded the menu on drives to scan, and low-and-behold, look, what do you know, a HIDDEN $AVG folder (image 5)!
    Now I have to view all hidden folders to find it. That is done by going to Start, Control Panel, (change View By: to Small Icons), Folder Options, (popup window), View Tab, then check the selection dot beside "Show hidden files, folders, and drives", Apply, OK (see image 6 for the walk-through). Now go back to Start, Computer, C:\, and it should show the hidden $AVG folder. If that doesn't show it, you can also do a Search, and delete the folder from the Search results. AGAIN, I ran a system clean-up, and a deep cleaning run of Advanced Systemcare (my favorite cleanup utility), did a restart, then did a search for "AVG".
    I now feel I am completely free of AVG. I hope this helps you get rid of it too!

    Syncing shouldn't trouch you photos unless you have photos in a Photo Library album.  These would be photos that were synced to your phone from your computer.  If you do have any, you'll need to use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your computer prior to syncing.
    If you prefer to backup your camera roll photos prior to syncing, open iTunes and go to Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".  Then connect your phone to your computer and import them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Then, to minimize data loss, follow the steps in this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.  To follow the steps, first open iTunes and go to View>Show Sidebar.  Also, Transfer Purchases is now located in File>Devices.

  • I have songs on my iPhone 6 that I can't remove and when I plug into iTunes and go to "Summary" and "On This Device" the songs don't show up but they are on my phone. How do I remove them? Not even sure how they got on actually.

    I have songs on my iPhone 6 that I can't remove and when I plug into iTunes and go to "Summary" and "On This Device" the songs don't show up but they are on my phone. How do I remove them? Not even sure how they got on actually since I have a iTouch and keep all my music there. HELP!!

    Have you tried deleting the songs from Settings?
    Settings -> General -> Usage -> Manage Storage (not the iCloud link!) -> Music and then click Edit to enable you to be able to delete.

    That's what backups are for. Use Time Machine. It's free and external drives are cheap. To recover your iPhone's content requires the use of third party utilities. Success is not guaranteed. Read:

    When you log into you icloud account on your computer you are viewing data that you sync to icloud not the backups.  You can't view the backups.
    Look at the two links I provided.

  • I was syncing music to my phone and when i plugged it in my pictures were gone and left me with only the ones i had on my previous iphone how can i get them back

    I was syncing music to my phone and when i plugged it in my pictures on my phone were gone and gave me the pictures i use to have on my old iphone how can i get my pictures back

    This did not happen by syncing with iTunes alone. The Camera Roll is not included or touched with the iTunes sync process.
    The first time you connect a new iPhone to iTunes that has been used to sync with another iPhone, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone to the new iPhone, or set up as a new iPhone or don't transfer the backup for the previous or old iPhone. You chose the former, which replaced the Camera Roll on your new iPhone with the Camera Roll for your previous iPhone. This was followed by a sync with iTunes.
    If you didn't import the photos from the Camera Roll on your new iPhone with your computer as with any other digital camera before you chose to transfer the backup for your old or previous iPhone to your new iPhone, the photos that were in the Camera Roll on your new iPhone are gone.
