HT201263 All steps to Restore get "Unknown Error (1)" after failing an Update

So what happens if your no longer covered by warrenty, therefore can't go into a genius for a replacement and you get this error?
Basically your SOL?
Is there ABSOLUTLY no way of fixing this?

Thanks for the pointer to the KB article. Error 1 is missing from the list provided by iTunes (more information), but I was afraid it means hardware. Will try on another computer, but I'm afraid the phone is sick.
Thanks,
Manfred

  • I keep getting "unknown error -42110" after deleting SC folder

    My son, daughter and I share a computer running Windows 7.  We each have our own iTunes libraries and logins.  My son's iTunes library crashed last week and completely needed rebuilding, This was a major pain.  He still can't access about 10 purchased songs, due to some 90 download issue.  He kept getting the "unknown error -42110" everytime he would open iTunes.  I went the this forum and they suggested that deleting the SC folder would fix it.  It did, but now the other two accounts are getting the -42110 error every time that iTunes is opened by the other user.  This is with iTunes 11.02.26.
    It appears that only one SC folder exists in Windows 7 in this location
    C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes
    Can anyone suggest a different fix?
    I believe that continuing to delete this folder will just cause the error to move to another user.
    The error itself seems pretty rampant on these boards, but I haven't seen anyone discuss the exact problem that I am having.
    Thanks

  • I'm getting  an error message after completing an update.  Help?

    I'm getting  an error message that says "This version of iTunes has not been correctly localized for this language.  Please try running the English version." after completing an update.  Help?

    Thanks for your help! I imported the table into Muse, then exported the site as html and opened it in Dreamweaver. I should've tried that in the first place but gave up when I couldn't edit it in Muse. I didn't know you could edit the html right in Muse. Also, my styling and the images I was using weren't showing up in Muse but once I opened it in Dreamweaver, everything fell into place. AND I could edit it! My client needs to edit this page every week, so I needed to be sure she could do that. She doesn't use Muse but does use Dreamweaver. At this point, I think I'll leave it alone and not try to style it with inline css. Maybe when I get a little more time, I'll try it. I just don't want to mess things up now that the're working.

  • I am getting unknown error -20 when trying to update or backup ipod touch

    please help

    I am too. I've tried a complete reinstall of the iPod software following a fresh install of iTunes on my computer.
    As soon as I synced my programs after the complete iPod restore (and nothing else), I started getting this message again.
    Not sure what else to try.

    While trying to update my ipod touch 2nd generation to ios 4.2 i get the messge this ipod could not be restored. Unknown error occured (-1). Tried updating with security software disabled, restarting both computer and ipod still same results any suggestions?

    Since Apple says:

    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    It sounds like you have a hardware problem ((device may need service). Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Instructions to get the phone back working temporary.. till there is a real fix.
    1. turn off the phone
    2. fire up iTunes
    3. press and hold the home button, plug in the cable, hold till you get to see the recovery mode
    4. iTunes will the allow to choose restore the phone back to 5.0.1 ( no other choice)
    5. iTunes will then ask you to choose which previous backup to would like to recover.
    (note: please do not reboot your phone unless necessary, i realize at times after reboot, it goes back to sq1)

    Likely this:

    Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 40, 1000, 9006
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

  • IPad cannot be restored unknown error 1; I tried to update my iPad 1 to new os5 by syncing to new version of iTunes and found a message that my iPad needs to be restored.  I tried several times and continue to get same error code unknown 1; how to fix?

    When trying to sync my ipad to latest version of itunes, it appears the ipad identity was lost and a message in itunes says to restore the ipad.  However, multiple attempts to do this continue to provide the "This ipad cannot be restored. Unknown error 1"  I have tried resetting my ipad which just brings back the screen to connect it to itunes.  I have updated all software on my computer and restarted.  No luck!.  Please help!!

    Thank goodness for this thread! 
    I installed iOS5 last night and was having the same problems described above with my iPad 1 32 GB + 3G.  Unknown Error (1) and was unable to restore. 
    I took my ipad to the local Apple Store today and was told by the genius that it was a hardware issue, and because the warranty had expired, there was nothing the Store could do.  He suggested that I try calling AppleCare.  Then I asked to speak with a manager.  He apologized again and said there was just nothing the Store could do.  I was close to leaving, when I asked a second time if it would be possible to see a Manager. 
    After asking a second time, he called a manager.  After explaining my issue to her, she immediately authorized him to give me a new iPad !   Anyone with this problem should definitely go to the store and be polite but adamant.  You should get a new iPad.

  • My 160 g ipod classic wont synk past 4 gigs and when it gets to 4 gigs it erasis all the content a message unknown error occurd (13011)

    my 160 g ipod classic will not sync past 4 gigs and when it gets to 4 gigs it erasis all the content a message unknown error occurd (13011) i have formated it with windows and restored it several times nothing works should i toss it and buy a new one or is it me doing somthing wrong

    Thanks everyone, lots of good suggestions here.
    I did briefly consider trying the idea of grouping smaller loads of playlists to upload, but I also noticed that each time I ejected then re-synched the iPod a few more gigs of music would upload.
    So I just kept at it until most (nearly all) of my music made it onto the thing.
    This seems like a really rudimentary thing for Apple to fix - but more fundamentally, this shouldn't happen at ALL. When they market a new product, having such a basic issue plague it seems very Microsoft-like.
    Up to this point I've never been disappointed with anything Apple has ever done.
    This issue is purely and simply bad design and slipshod programming. I hope they fix it in the extremely near future.
    Thanks again for all your help and suggestions guys!
    Cheers
