I have an error message while trying to update itunes from my Iphone4. It is telling me my phone is in recovery mode and I must restore the phone. How can I fix w/o losing my information? What alternatives do I have? I knew I shouldn't update the SW!!
While updating/synching I have an error saying that my phone is in recovery; need to restore the phone before it can be used with Itunes. And the phone is frozen with a graphic of the itunes symbol and a connector. If I restore, I assume I will lose all my data. Can anyone offer suggestions on how to get around this? Thanks.
It should restore from the backup. If you don't have any backup then you will lose data but what you going to do you have no other alternative so go ahead and do it.

I can't restore my iPhone 4. It went nuts today. Went to "voice control", called people on my contact list, home button is dead. Thought a sync would help. New software available. Did download. Can't load anything. Phone in "recovery mode" do restore. OOPS! I did restore, and then am told the phone is in recovery mode, do it all again. OK I have. Same message. HELP!
Thanks Larry. I ended up at the genius bar at the local Apple store. My home button had died which is why the phone was constantly going to Voice Control. The phone was replaced. Thanks for answering. I checked out the link and ordinarily that would have done the trick.

I updated my 3GS to the latest OS. iTunes was updated first, when iTunes finishes updating my phone a box pops up that says my phone is in recovery mode so I click the update button and it goes the whole update cycle again. I unplugged my phone after 4 cycles of updating but now there is NOTHING on my phone, not even the home screen just the itunes symbol . I've tried rebooting my phone but there is still nothing there. HELP!!!!! What can I do
sounds like your phone was jailbroken.

Error Message While Trying to Send email from Mac Mail...
hello. i have been following the discussion board from some time, and finally made my first mac purchase. only 3 days old.anyways, i am trying to send mail from my .mac email account. i paid for the 1 year subscription,so i know my subscription status is still up to date. however, when trying to send an email using the Mac Mail application,i get this error..
Error
This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
the connection to the server "smtp.mac.com" on port 25 timed out.
can someone help me?
my isp is: Cox
location: Virginia, USA
just incase someone needed that. oh yes,i can also receive mail, but i just can not send any emails. i was trying to send an email to a "gmail" acct,and i also attached a 2mb pic.thank you to anyone who can assist me.This error message indicates your ISP blocks the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP) on Port 25 which is the default/common port used by SMTP servers. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only that is outside of their network (such as the .Mac SMTP server) on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
These restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
Are you also accessing an email account with the Mail.app that is provided by Cox and if so, are you able to send messages with this account?
Something to try.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button for the .Mac SMTP server.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If this doesn't resolve it and you aren't accessing your Cox email account with the Mail.app, you need to create your Cox email account in Mail or at least add Cox's SMTP server and select/use Cox's SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac account which is invisible to all recipients. -
Multiple error messages while trying to open iTunes
Downloaded the latest upgrade (much to my chagrin) and then started getting error messages when I tried to open iTunes. First was:
"iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes." So I did. Then I got this message:
"Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
So I uninstalled iTunes and tried to install. Same message! SO I did a system restore and still no go! Except I now get two more messages:
"Runtime Error! R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contact the application's support team for more information." AND "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7"
Help!!!!!Hi Rnady,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has steps you can take for the error you're seeing:

Multiple error messages while trying to instal cs5 from CD
Hello!
I have tried to chat with an expert about this 3 times and can never connect with anyone. Hopefully someone here will respond!
I have the CS5 design standard disc set. I had some trouble installing Adobe Acrobat, but was finally successful. However I cannot get the rest of the programs to install and I don't understand why.
"Installer failed to initialize. File Not Found. Please contact adobe support advisor to detect the problem." I click "get adobe support advisor" and it takes me to a webpage stating that support advisor has been discontinued. This happens repeatedly for a few days then suddenly, the installation starts! I get almost all the way through when it shuts down and gives me yet another error message. Now it won't open and either says to contact the support advisor or that I am running another version of adobe installer. I have tried restarting multiple times.
What can I do?copy the installation files from your cd to a desktop directory. install from the desktop directory.
if you see the same 'installer failed to initialize':
start at the top and work your way down applying applicable fixes until your problem is resolved.
if cc (win): https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-application-failed.html
if, your error is:
"Installer failed to initialize. File not found." or "Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to missing files."
first, rename OOBE Folder to OOBE.old.
to find OOBE:
64 bit win OS: Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
32 bit win OS: Program Files \Common Files\Adobe\OOBE
mac os: HD>library>application support>adobe>caps
mac os: USER>library>application support>adobe>OOB
if that fails or isn't the exact error you see, uninstall, clean (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and reinstall.
if you're using a dvd to install:
copy the disc contents to a desktop directory and install from that directory.
if you're using a mac:
1. Try to Create a new user account in Mac with Administrator Priviledges.
2. Login to the New user, Navigate to Mac HD> Application> Utilities> Adobe Installer folder, Locate products like Adobe Reader, Adobe Flash, Adobe Air and un-install them
3. Navigate to User Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
4. Navigate to Mac HD> Library> Application Support> Adobe and move Adobe to Trash.
5. Start the installation again.
if everything applicable above fails, check your installation logs:

Error messages while trying to download iTunes 8.1.1 update
I keep getting the following message while downloading the iTunes software update:
'Error NSURLErrorDomain -1005 (-1005)'
It happens just after the 'expanding and verifying' stage. I'm using T-Mobile's 'mobile broadband usb stick 110'. I only got the usb broadband yesterday but I've already downloaded music and videos (from iTunes and other sites) and the Safari and Security updates with no problems so I don't think that's the problem.
Any help would be much appreciated!Interesting.
Okay, let's try some general principles troubleshooting with this one, then.
(1) Do you currently have a copy of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package installed on that PC? If so, try downloading the following security update:
[Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=766a6af7-ec73-4 0ff-b072-9112bab119c2&displaylang=en#filelist]
Does iTunes install for you after applying that update?
(2) If no joy there, head into your Windows Update and click on the Update History. Have a lot of Updates also been failing for you recently? If so, doubleclick on the entries for the failed updates to bring up more information on each. What error codes appear for you for the failed updates? (Precise spelling, please.) -
I keep getting an error message while trying to install itunes on my new windows 7 (64 bit)
During the install i receive this error message.
Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
It gives me the options to Abort, Retry, or Ignore.
I have attempted to retry and it just comes back. I have tried to ignore this and the install does not complete properly.
I am using firefox to do this download. Could this be causing a problem.
What do I need to do?What operating system do you run on your Mac?
You have to be running Snow Leopard on a 64-bit machine.

Error message while trying to install iTunes 7.02
Hello,
i have the following problem:
i bought the new IPod-Shuffle generation 2. In order to use it, i had to install iTunes 7.0.2
The installtion is not working for me because the installation routine tries to de-install the previous version, but the de-installer rountine of the previous version is supposed to be not on my computer. The installtion routine can't find the de-installtion rountine of the old version and this results in the abort of the complete installation.
Any idea to clean my computer in a way the installtion programm will not mention that an old version was already installed?
I already cleaned the registry.
Thanks, for any idea.
Greeting,
mike
Windows XP ProA windows dialog box came up and asked to specify the path of the "itunes.msi"-file (original location: documents and setting\user\local settings\temp\XP7021\
okay, let's try this first.
first head into your Add/Remove programs and try to uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good ... if not, we'll attend to it when we attend to your itunes.
next, Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders. use the instructions from the following document as a guide to that:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
now restart the PC and try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time? -

What happens when you try to restore via iTunes:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software -
i was downloading the latest software upgrade when the message "Itunes has detected an Iphone in recovery mode. You must restore this phone before it can be used with Itunes" came up. My option of I phone recovery mode says that it will restore the Iphone to factory mode losing all information.
is there anything I can do to prevent this?If the iPhone is in recovery mode, all data is already lost.
Restore it. -
Why am I receiving an error message while trying to change my phone number?
So I have been trying to change my phone number for a few days now and every single time I get this error message, before i even start, "The activity you are trying to perform is currently unavailable. Please try again later." I was hoping to circumvent the 15$ fee of doing it over the phone. Finally, I decided to do an online chat, the associate did not know why the error was occurring but informed me in order to change my number over chat, i would STILL have to pay the 15$ fee. Something struck me as so wrong there, so conveniently the change features and phone number part of the website was not working, however the view/pay your bill part was always working properly, never received any error messages there. I understood it was not the associates fault however. Still that is wrong. If it was not urgent I would wait. Yes I could have tried the number block, that section was not working either, but having to renew which numbers you want blocked every couple of months makes no sense to me, if I want something blocked, i want it blocked permanently not just for 90 days. Yes I tried call/SMS blocker apps from the app store but they're faulty in that they still give you notifications of when the blocked person/number called/text or do not always block everything all the time. But when it came down to it, even the associate encountered the error message while trying to change my number. So why is this happening. Verizon is expensive but the reception is better however theirs always issues when I need to fix something. Its frustrating
Verizon was having a problem on their end, perhaps a server down for some repair or updating. However you were already aware that there was an on-going problem in your own posting and you decided to continue on.I can understand you wanting this done and trying to save the $15.00 fee. However I would have waited a bit longer until the Verizon issue had been corrected. Yes it is frustrating but again you know in advance of a problem , I can understand that this is most upsetting for you but never try to perform any change when a problem is there and I also do not like to do business on a weekend with no live tech support available. I'm sure this will all work out for you if given some time. Sorry.
So I have been trying to change my phone number for a few days now and every single time I get this error message, before i even start, "The activity you are trying to perform is currently unavailable. Please try again later."
