Hey capoislamort,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! I found the following information about error 1638 that occurs when trying to restore an iPhone:
Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again.

When i downloaded itunes and try to launch the program it says a installed component is not installed. What does that mean?
Just in case the component being referenced is not part of iTunes but is rather part of one of the other related programs, it might be worth trying a complete uninstall/reinstall of iTunes and related componentry, as per the following troubleshooting document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7 -
Downloads from itunes fail - error code 8003 - what does that mean, or more importantly, how do I get what I paid for?
Try the troubleshooting for that error code on this page : iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting - Apple Support (search for '8003' on the page, it's just below half-way down)

I'm trying to burn playlists onto a cd from itunes. I keep getting a "medium write error" message. What does this mean? I heard that this may mean that I should try burning at a slower speed. I tried this and that didn't help. I also heard that I may need to use a different brand of CD-R disc. I have not tried this yet. I also heard that it could be a software issue or disc drive issue. I recently updated my macbook pro software from tiger to snow leapord. Do you think this could have affected my itunes playlist burning capabilities? Thanks for the help.
A system upgrade should not have affected anything. When did you notice the loss in functionality?

Apple Portables: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
Realize that a MBP that came with Tiger is an old computer and optical drives do not last forever.
You could try a drive cleaning disc to remove dust. Don't be overly optimistic. I suspect it is an old drive issue. -
Somebody please help me! Everytime I try to sync something, it says error (13019). What does that mean? And what can I do to fix it?!

hi, i just got an iphone 5 today and whenever i try to sync it on my computer itunes says it is waiting for changes to be applied, what does that mean??
Hopefully is just says that for a minute or two ...
It just means that iTunes calculates what needs to be done, and then while instructing the iPhone to do these operations, it is "Waiting for changes to be applied." -
When I try to send photos or anymail, it fails saying...."rejected by the server."
What does that mean and how do I fix it?Please see this article on setting up an email account using the shaw mail server.

After the latest update I did, 23Oct2013 7:30pm PT, my iTunes no longer opens up without the error message (-45054). I click "ok" to acknowledge the message and it immediately closes iTunes with no further information. Any help would be greatly appreciated, expecially if it's an actual employee of Apple. They seem to be way to into the user-helping-user system they need to step up.
Hi,
re: the dialogue: You do not have enough access privileges for this operation Error code -45054
A fellow musican I know had an identical issue with this and asked me to check it out. I fixed it and wrote a long set of instructions on my blog. His problem was with 10.6 but it was an update he did preparing to move to Mavericks.
I was able to reproduce the error by just removing the /Shared folder from /Users
Here is the link to the problem and the instructions on how I fixed1t

There is this movie that I really need to have on my ipod, but for some reason the only option that is available is to rent the movie. What does that mean? Will I ever be able to buy the movie?

On January 24, 2014 I received a prompt on my Sony Vaio laptop that there was an iTunes program update ready. I allowed my computer to install it, I received an error message stating it could wasn't completed. Since then I can't access my iTunes and continuously receive an error message stating that a file MSVCR80 is missing. A second message pop-up box states that I need to reinstall iTunes. My question is if I remove the program how do I locate my file to reinstall it and am I going to lose any of my music?
Try the following user tip:
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
Under normal circumstances, an uninstall/reinstall doesn't touch your content. (That being said, it's still always a good idea to maintain a current backup at all times in case of disasters of any sort.)
