Iphone 3gs had screen with itunes and usb cable. tried to do a restore, said it cannot be restored, unknown error occured: error code 1013. I've tried several times, no luck.

I read on several sites where you go to windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts and delete gs_apple.com or something like that. I went there, there is no such file or anything with apple in it.
Any suggestions?

    Do as the image suggests, connect the device to a computer running iTunes.
    If it is still not working, try posting in your native language.

  • Iphone screen has itunes and usb cable images frozen

    I tried clearing my 3GS phone and now these two images are frozen on the screen.  When connecting to iTunes it notes that it needs to be restored, but when I try it says it cannot be done.
    Any idea if this device has already been erased or not?

  • Even after doing the recovery of my iphone 4,  still i am getting a picture with itunes and usb port in phone.  showing only the emergency call

    I did a recovery of my iphone4.   After extracting,  recovery and verifying  completing,  my iphone restarted.    But still i can only see the picture with iTunes and USB port in the iphone 4.   Only the emergency call is allowed.
    After recovery and re-start of my iphone4  the itunes doesn't detect my phone.       What should i do now

    DFU Mode and restore again, if it doesn't work, well then...I suggest you try using a custom firmware maker (sn0wbreeze), NOT for the jailbreak, just to try and fix your phone.

  • My iphone is in recovery mode, the itunes and usb cable symble, is all data lost at this point or is it possible to recover some or all data on the phone?

    My iphone is in recovery mode, the itunes and usb cable symble displayed, does this mean that all data is lost or is there some way to recover the data on the phone.

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • My iPhone 5 cant sync with itunes and its always stuck at the backup phase

    My iPhone 5 cant sync with itunes and its always stuck at backing up phase. I tried to update my ios(mine is 7.1.2) and it states that the iphone update server could not be contacted. make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. Likewise when I try to update my iTunes through the help column(check for updates), it also says the same thing as when I try to update my ios on iTunes. Please help!

    i was trying to sync my iphone4 with itunes and my phone was upgraded to ios5 version, i now cannot make call on my iphone because my sim cannot be recognised again. what do i do plsssssss.

    As peter says, this is evidence that your phone was previously hacked and was re-locked by the upgrade.
    ONLY the carrier it is locked to can unlock it.  There is nothing else we can suggest.

    Try this first - I saw a recent post where a user with the same problem after an iOS update used his Apple ID password.
    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • Iphone 3GS not syncing to Itunes and credit card declining with funds

    I've been researching this for 2 months now and I know there are many with the same issue(s). Has there been a solution to this yet?
    Issues:
    -credit card declining with sufficient funds available
    -Itunes does not recognize the iphone
    -unable to purchase songs
    -when there has been a new release or update, my iphone will all of a sudden sync.
    Thanks for any assistance or pointers.

    Hello Paul....
    Hmm. My phone had a crack in the screen and got a bit wet in my bag when a drink leaked. It didn't turn on for a few days but then it worked again despite the fact the LED screen was a bit damaged but it was locked on the Emergency Calls only screen.
    Anyway, today I did some trouble shooting and I was successful in connecting the iPhone with iTunes and selected "restore".
    This meant iTunes did export software and I could then see the little progress bar active on my iphone...
    Now my iPhone seems to be unlocked because it is not in the emergency screen anymore but it is asking my to select a language and then a country and then I cannot get any further....
    In Devices in iTunes it says.... "There is a problem with your iPhone, please visit the Service Answer Centre."
    Do you think I can revive it?
    Regardless, I have good news! I found my lost iPhone 4s so I am a really happy bunny.
    It would still be cool to the 3Gs working as I use it for my iPod.

    There is no "disk".  You have iTunes.
    Have you tried a different cable, a different USB port, rebooting the computer?

  • I go to sync my Iphone 3Gs (IOS 5) with iTunes on my pc and is is stuck on step 8 "waiting to copy items" it has been like this for over an hour.

    I go to sync my Iphone 4 (IOS 5) with iTunes on my mac and is is stuck on step 8 "waiting to copy items" it has been like this for over an hour. What can i do to fix this problem????

    If you are stuck at the blue screen then you can try booting into safe mode (hold shift during boot) and then run disk repair. If that still doesn't fix it then you might have to reinstall OS X. What version of OS X are you running?

  • I have an iPhone which froze during software update to a picture of iTunes and USB cable.  I have never loaded this device on my computer.  How do I unlock the phone?

    My iPhone froze while downloading a new update.  The screen now shows a picture of iTunes icon and USB cable.  How do I unlock the phone if I never registered the device on a computer?

    Have you tried to restore the iPad back to factory settings from within the Setting App?  You might also try and hard "reset" by holding the power button and the home button at the same time until the iPad 2 restarts.
    Besides that, find a friend with a computer and try to update it from their comptuer, or if it is close and convenient go to the Apple Store and they will be able to help you.
