HT201210 Can anyone tell me exactly what Error 23 is?! WHY does Apple assign an error # but then NOT explain what that is?! I'm trying to restore an iPhone 3G. Please help! Thx.

I CANNOT restore my iPhone, so now I'm stuck with a useless iPhone because I can't complete Restore - because Error 23 keeps coming up! Ugh...it bugs the heck out of me, that Apple assigns an error number without explaining (a) what that IS, (b) taking or redirecting to a SPECIFIC troubleshoot page for THAT error. I've wasted lots of time doing all the stuff already suggested but Error 23 persists! Please help or I've just lost my lovely old-design 3G, which I really am loathe to give up for one of those ugly new boxy too-long slim things... (Which cost $200, 2 boot!)

Thx BUT =as-said, I've tried ALL the suggestions - including reading through the link you just suggested/posted (but just for good measure, i've just re-read thru it again!). I noticed from this list the first time i read thru it, that Error 23 didn't appear anywhere on this list of various (numerous!) error numbers. So/ergo, i still don't know (a) what exactly this error IS, (b) how to fix/get past/resolve it.
I don't have an Apple store anywhere near me. Even if I did, I wonder whether they would (a) be willing to (b) able to fix it @ the so-called Genius bar? Any thoughts on this? (Obviously, if there were an Apple store nearby, I'd go there & try; as-is, it would entail an extra trip & an expense costing as much as buying a new iPhone!)

  • HT201210 I have got error number 11 on itunes when trying to restore my iphone 3gs, please help.

    Please help, I am trying to restore my iphone 3gs, but i keep getting errors like 11 which is not listed in this site and i alos get error 1 and -1. please help.

    Did you manage to fix the issue?
    I have exactly the same issue as described above : I installed the update 5.1.1 on my iphone 3GS and since then, I can not turn it on anymore. In Itunes, I get an error 37 when I am doing a restauration and it stops.
    This error has nothing to do with firewall : I tried to restore the phone on several computers, including in an Apple reseller and it did not work anywhere.
    I spent several hours on phone with the hotline from Apple which arrived to the conclusion that it is a hardware issue, but the phone was working perfectly fine until I installed this update!

    To use iCloud, you must first set it up with your Apple ID on a device with iOS 5 or a Mac with OS X Lion.

  • Can anyone tell me how to solve Flash Player on iPad 2. I understand Adobe not supported is there away around this or Apple alternative

    Having just purchased ipdad 2 I am noticing that Flash Player is not supported can anyone please tell me how to get round this or suggest apple alternative. It's very annoying considering that flash is used in so much digital display

    The Skyfire browser is the best solution I have found, so far. It's a browser that converts the videos on the fly. It doesn't work for other types of flash (games, ads, etc) but it does a good job with videos.

  • TS4006 Someone stole my ipod5 brand new but did not connect to the internet. I had 3000 pics of my vacation - please help. Is there anyone who could possible locate it even without being connected to the internet maybe through some app that I had or whate

    Help please. Anyone has a way of tracking my ipod touch 5 even offline. had all my 3000 pics from this vacation here in the US. I had some apps....anyone please. The Find my ipod is notable to lock or locate because is offline....HELP PLEASE I will take any advice... It was stolen in a McDonalds that had wireless but was not connected...

    I'm an plug and play, aka, intuative Apple OS "cooler", or a guy that has been most likely to "tilt" even the most bug free Apple software and maybe even hardware, and unqualified to give advice, except for the fact that I had my iPad and then my iPhone boosted a year ago. May I ask, did you ever log in to your app; "Find my iPhone" and go through the registration process? If you did, you would have had to have registered it into "mobileme" or the ancestor of mm, the name escapes me, or you would have had to "iCloud it", the implications of which, I'm just barely scratching the surface (<--ADHD) but that's the kind of thing I would have, and did do, even though I didn't have a clue, what it was for, or understand how to incorperate it into my resources at the time, I'm just a "register here" factory, that registers first and askes questions later. If you did this, I suspect you may have a reason to hope a a GPS kite string that millions of theft targets like us are longing to see, return your device, for Christ Sakes! i do know that, if you did you, can access the signal blip, location from any smart device, with internet access and your log in/password, that you will need to remember, track down, or if all else fails, ask Support to assist, by in my case jogging my memory, until it came to my low watt brain, the log in id, I had used.
    Boy what a lot of blather, hope it was helpful, somehow, my point was that Cloud is the modern MobileMe, and it's prediscessor. Mozl Tov!

  • Can anyone tell me if  AirPort will work with an RCA STA-3850 Stereo Receiver?  If so what would I need to set up to use with my Imac.

    I have IMacPurchased in 2008 and want to get a AirPort that will connect to my speakers (UTAH's from 1975 in still very good condition).  My stereo receiver is  ~ 10 yrs old:  RCA STA 3850 and still works like a charm.  I really am NOT technically inclined and tend to stumble into solutions through 'dumb luck'.  If anyone has a suggestion I would appreciate it.
    Thank you.

    The AirPort Express has a compatible analog audio output, you just need to connect it to an available input on your stereo. You may use the "AUX" or "CD" input, it's up to you. The RCA STA 3850 has no digital input.
    Buy a cable that looks like this one:
    6ft 3.5mm Stereo Plug/2 RCA Plug Cable - Black
    Its length and the type of plating used for the connections are up to you as well.

    To do a reboot, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • HT4759 I'd bought cloud and I am looking to see how it works and still don't know. So can somebody tell me how it works, and why does money keep disappearing from my account. I didn't used iTunes match, and and copied everything I had in iTunes and am now

    1) How do I use Cloud?  I mistakingly use itune match and made copy of all I already had in tunes! 2) how do I get rid of all the copys?  3)how do I get the money that keeps disappars from my account?

    I got into a similar situation last night trying to enable wireless on my already configured wired my Time Capsule. It was getting the same or very similar 169.xxx IP address for itself.
    I found that I had to change ( I suspect it was restore my previous setting ) the Configure IPv4 item under the Internet Tab in manual setup of the Airport Utility.
    It appeared a "manually" and I changed it (back?) to "Using DHCP".
    That combined with Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode) lets the upstream router that connects directly to my Cable modem be the DHCP server for the entire network.
    As everything had worked fine for weeks until I enabled wireless it seems that the Configure Ipv4 parameter was reset either by me mistakenly or by the updating o f the changed settings. Frankly I' quite sure I didn't change it accidentally (famous last words)
    Other combinations may aslo work, but this works for me.

  • I bought an unlocked iphone 5 with 32mb especially so I could use any wireless carrier that I wanted to.  Why does apple hold me prisoner to use only the carriers that apple wants?????  The only thing I can't do is send and receive picture messaging.

    I specifically bought and paid for an unlocked iphone 5 from APPLE so that I could use any wireless carrier I wanted to.  I have been paying ATT WAYYY too much money the last 20 years.  But for some reason APPLE wants to keep me from using any wireless carrier - and I can only use the carriers that APPLE will let me.  WHY????  I paid my money!!  I expected a lot more than I got.  The only thing I can't do is send or received picture messages, but it makes me so Mad that I can';t do that!!!

    If you bought an unlocked iPhone then it will work with any carrier but will work only under the restrictions or requirements the carrier sets for its customers.  Apple has nothing to do with that.  You are describing a problem of restricted access created by the carrer.  If you cannot carry out the functions you want, talk to the carrier and see what limits they are placing on you.  An unlocked iPhone is fully capable of all functions the carrer allows.

  • Can anyone tell me how to read a crash report?

    I can not find anywhere on how to read a crash report. Can anyone tell me? The only tutorial I have found is located here, but it pay-for subscription only.
    For some reason I a lot of my applications are crashing. A lot of the applications are 3rd party, but today two Apple applications crashed...Preview and iPhoto.
    The only thing I can attribute to these crashes is my uninstallation of Garage Band using Deinstaller. I uninstalled all GarageBand*.pkg files in my /Library/Receipts/ folder.
    Here are my two recent crash reports: iPhoto Preview
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    I used Pacifist to replace what the Product
    Specialist was the corrupt file and I am still
    crashing applications...specifically BLT. Click here to view crash report. I have
    never had a problem with BLT, so I don't know why its
    just now starting to crash.
    I redownloaded the
    application and have notified the Developer
    requesting assistance. I think it's a system issue
    because it happens in multiple user
    accounts.
    The crash report refers
    consistently to 0x9294d120 which is at the top of the
    crashed thread. This thread refers to a
    com.apple.Foundation file causing the
    problem. I can not locate this file anywhere
    within my system or the 10.4.6 Combo
    update.....anyone have any suggestions after
    reviewing the crash report?
    Here is a technical guide concerning the Crash Report:

    and here is a guide for Crash reporting:
    http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/bugreportingguide.html
    Apple, of course doesn't have to support third-party products, so it's best to contact the third party with regards the issue. There are simple things you can check like the installation, hardware incompatibilities... etc, but I assume you have done this from reading the earlier verbiage in the thread.
