If you get specific error messages/codes in iTunes when updating/restoring, check this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694

Using that last article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!

    It's not referencing your iTunes version.  It's referencing your device's iOS version.  An iPhone 3G has a maximum iOS of 4.2.1.  If an app requires an iOS higher than that, it will not work on your iPhone 3G.

  • Ive just restored my iphone but it wont let me activate it now, either by wi-fi or through itunes. what do i do?

    Ive just restored my iphone but it wont let me activate it now, either by wi-fi or through itunes. what do i do?
    I just bought the phone off ebay and it was working fine before I tried to update it. This is when the problems started. Firstly, it wouldnt update because it said there was something wrong with the iphone, so i chose to restore it as there was nothing on the phone anyways. After I restored it, its saying there is no sim inserted and it wont let me activate it. I really need help with this.

    Try again now.  I had the same issue this morning with my phone.  After a restore it said it could not activate and to try again later.
    If you try again and it doesn't work, click the home button and edit your WiFi settings.  Forget all networks and start the activation again.
    Instead of entering any WiFi details this time, scroll to the bottom and click "Connect to iTunes".
    This is what I did and it activated for me. 
    **EDIT**  Sorry, I missed the part about the missing sim.  Mine did not say that.  It just said "your phone could not be activated at this time.  try again later"

  • HT201274 So I have tried to update my iPod touch about 5 times now and it still says there is an error. I,ve erased all my settings and attempted to restore it, but it wont let me. I'm ready to throw it away and find a new product.

    Errors when updating leads to corrupt system files and this may be your problem. If you're using windows, connect your device to PC and run any third party app like Syncios. If it detects, you maybe in luck and try to back-up your data if possible. I hope that it won't and if doesn't, there is no other way to recover files. You should be restoring with iTunes and all data will be erased, or else your device may become unusable.

  • HI I HAVE A MAC OS X 10.6.8 AND IM TRYING TO DOWNLOAD IPAGES BUT IT WONT LET. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANY PROGRAM CLOSE TO IPAGES OR HOW I CAN DOWNLOAD IPAGES 06?

    HI I HAVE A MAC OS X 10.6.8 AND IM TRYING TO DOWNLOAD IPAGES BUT IT WONT LET. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANY PROGRAM CLOSE TO IPAGES OR HOW I CAN DOWNLOAD IPAGES 06?

    iWork '09 has three different versions each of which require a different minimum operating system 10.4.11 (x.0); 10.6.6 (x.1); 10.7.4 (x.2). The App Store only has the latest version so you need to buy the iWork DVD off of eBay http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sop=12&_trkparms=72%253A1234%257C66%253A2%257C65 %253A12%257C39%253A1&_sacat=0&_sc=1&_nkw=iwork+09&rt=nc

  • Hey, ive recentley got a new phone and im trying to download apps but it wont let me. And when i click download this is what comes up, "Update unavailable with this apple ID.

    Hi, ive recentley got a new iphone 5C. I am trying to download apps on the appstore but it wont let me. It says this: Update Unavailable with this Apple ID.
    This update is not available for this apple ID because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.
    How do u fix this??

    Apps are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them.
    Either use the original AppleID or delete the app and then download again
    using your current AppleID. You cannot transfer an app from one AppleID to
    another, nor can you merge AppleIDs.

  • HT201210 trying to restore iphone 4 comes up with error -1 what to do

    restoring an iphone 4 in iTunes comes up with error -1 what to do

    Hi there Roger,
    If you have as yet been unable to restore your phone, I would use the troubleshooting in the following article about that very subject, named:
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
    If the issue persists, you should use this section of the following article that mentions that exact error number, named:
    Get help with iOS update and restore errors
    Related errors: 1, 3, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
    These errors mean that your device or computer might have a hardware issue that stops the update or restore from completing.
    Check that your security software and settings aren't blocking your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Make sure that 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.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • HT201210 i broke my ipod and i want to restore it but i wont let me because i have a passcode what do i do?

     

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
