HT201210 my phone wont sync as it says there is a missing file?

My phone won't sync as it says it has a missing file. I just tried to update the latest operating system to save and update all my iphone data, it said it has incurred an unknown error & I need to restore my phone to original settings.... won't I lose everything if I do that?

Hello hvickers,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
According to the following article, error 29 when restoring from iTunes might be due to a hardware issue.

Check for hardware issues

Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Take care,

Yes. Talk to whoever replaced the battery. Sounds like they broke something.

I Phone wont Sync

I have just activated my Micro Sim (Australia) and am trying to Sync to get started. However, the phone wont sync and will only let me use it for emergency calls. There is only one small bar that is registering for service, but my Mobile service provider (TPG) says everything is OK from their end. So two Qs: Why is there no service on my IPhone and is this the reason why it wont allow me to get started and set up?

Hey thanks for your reply Lawrence, but have solved the problem. I just needed to adapt ITunes for what I needed it for.

Use iPhone as designed. Like any digital camera, download your photos to your computer and delete from the iPhone to create space required for iOS upgrade.

My phone wont sync a new playlist

Since i updated to the new iox my phone wont sync with new playlists. how do i do it? need it done by midnight!

If you are syncing manually, you'll need to manually drag this playlist over and onto your iPhone from under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes.
Apps can not be managed manually. You'll need configure them to sync to your iPod. See this article for more instructions and information.

You can only sync with one ITunes library. It you switch iTunes library iTunes will erase the iPod and replace it contents with what is in the library of the new computer.

My phone wont sync after upgrade to 5.0.1 WHY?

my phone wont sync after upgrade to 5.0.1 WHY?

Hi, I'm having the same problem as crystalfromsaline.
The handset advised me to upgrade 5.0.1 so I did and now it wont sync to my mac?? It's detected in iPhoto but not as all in iTunes. The handset still works fine.
I'm currently using Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and have the latest version of itunes.
Hope this is enough info, any help you could offer would be much appreciated.

Tried to do upgrade and lost everything but contacts. Phone wont sync with computer. Do I need to register it as a new iphone?

You should copy everything from your old computer to your new one, then sync.
The iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

I updated to 7.1 and now when I plug my phone into the computer, it says there are no pictures??????

I updated to 7.1 and now when I plug my phone into the computer, it says there are no pictures?????? When I have 500 pictures on it!!!!! Im soooooo mad I did the update! Worst decision ever!!!!!!!!!! I am SOOOO ready to leave the IPHONE alone- maybe throw it in the river or lay it on the train tracks. Its been NOTHING BUT TROUBLE since the update!

Just to be clear: Tap on the Photos app to start the app. Then tap on Albums at the bottom of the screen. You might have several albums but only one is named "Camera Roll." Are there photos in that album?
If there are NO photos in the Camera Roll album there are no pictures to import. The remaining albums might have come from a sync with your computer or they might be your PhotoStream.
If there ARE photos in the Camera Roll album, connect your iPhone to your computer and start your camera application on the computer. Your phone should be recognized as a camera.

You need to do as provided. If no change after restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

Hi Timothy,
The account cannot be validated error was due to a glitch on our activation server that has been fixed now.
Please try using acrobat now and check if you are still facing the problem.
