IPhone 4s YouTube error
Every time I try to run a YouTube video through my home wifi, it gives me an error stating "unknown error" . I am using iPhone 4s , IOS 5.1.1
I had done all the above too. But the answer to my problem was to simply change the DNS server number (should have done this first when the "playback error" persisted.:/). Take a screenshot of your original DNS number for future necessity, then change it to OpenDNS..or google DNS...I used google DNS...for complete & thorough instructions..follow this site:--> http://www.macinstruct.com/node/558

Has anyone solved the notorious "Cannot Connect to Youtube" Error?
Whenever I open the Youtube app I get "Cannot connect to Youtube" no matter what why network I'm on no matter how I'm connected. EVERYTHING else on the phone works perfectly.
Even the youtube website works fine via safari but the videos WILL NOT PLAY.
I have tried all the hit or miss speculative solutions that people claim work for them:
*Change the date past the year 2030 and then back again.
*Hard reset the phone
*Power on power off
*Reset network settings
*Full reset of settings
*Trying different networks
*Connecting to the computer and synching the phone and the apps
None of these work. Some people claim success with one or more of the different methods above but it doesn't work for me and many others. This issue has been going on for a LONG time and it is WIDESPREAD (just search this forum or the internet at large via google and you will see). It spans across multiple devices (iPhone and iPod Touch alike) and multiple software versions across multiple generations of the devices. I find it appalling that Apple is silent on this gaping bug.
Does anyone have a solution? Does anyone know how to get Apple to DO SOMETHING?
Thanks.Are you senior executives in Apple's cost cutting in the customer service and quality control department or what?
+If it works fine on your friends iPhones when they come over it does not sound like a bug, it sounds like a problem with your iPhone.+
It IS a problem with my iPhone. Anything that causes one of the built in operating applications to fail frequently under normal use whether or not it happens on every device consistently is absolutely by definition a bug.
+Explain why the alleged bug is not on every iPhone then ? This is the bit that you fail to explain in every post you make.+
It may not be on every phone but it definitely is on MANY, what triggers it is unknown. Microsoft releases hundreds if not thousands of bug fixes every year. Why don't all the HUNDREDS of millions of Windows users all experience every single bug? By your logic none of these bugs exists because every single user doesn't experience them. I can't remember the last time I personally experienced one of the bugs that all these mountains of bug fixes I download through windows update automatically correct so I guess none of those bugs actually exist.
+I have read a lot more articles by people who think the world is flat and that means nothing. There are 10 million odd iPhones, 50 people isn't a conclusive fault. explain why 9,999,950 of them appear to work fine?+
There are thousands of people with this problem. With a problem like this a person with even shred of intellect would read a few posts from a few different sources and come to an informed conclusion on the issue rather than dedicate the next six months of their life to reading every single thing ever written about it. Once you see the pattern is exactly the same even in 10 plus posts and it's obvious there are THOUSANDS more you can conclude it's not an isolated incident.
+Thats hardly conclusive - there are youtube video's on how to make an egg custard but that doesn't mean nobody can make one without instruction, or that all egg custards made are defective somehow.+
Inappropriate and just flat out wrong analogy. If there was a "how to make custard when it fails in a specific way consistently" then your analogy would be appropriate. The "how to FIX x" youtube video is not analogous to "how to use your iphone" or "how to do x." In any event comparing egg custard to an iphone is clearly apples to oranges - or more like apples to nuclear reactors.
+Don't bother quoting Google Stats - you can get hits on every search string you put in, and one post gets copied again and again and comes up as multiple hits.+
Really? I had no idea google one of the most successful companies in the world had such a faulty and defective search engine that it gives phony results. Have you told them? Maybe they will hire you to fix it.
You may get SOME hits for any garbage you put in (not really ANY but a lot of garbage) but they won't be very many.
"asldfjla adfkjdsafd" - 0 hits (looks like you're wrong again)
"random string of nonsense searching" - 22,500 hits
"iphone "compass not working"" - 7,700 hits
"ipod "calendar not working"" - 4,570 hits
"iphone "calendar not working"" - 8,490 hits
"iphone "stocks not working"" - 3 hits (really google makes too many phony hits? Are you sure you dont' mean not enough - do you really believe only 3 people ever uttered these words on the ENTIRE internet???)
"iphone "calculator not working"" - 23,900 hits
"iphone "cannot connect to youtube"" - 980,000 hits
"ipod "cannot connect to youtube"" - 859,000 hits
Yep I see it, it's settled now. It definitely must be something I just made up. Looks like nobody else is having that problem. Must not mean a thing that there are more than 100 times more articles on this built in app than a couple others I picked at random. I'm glad you settled this for me how google is broken and only my iphone is misconfigured and the "cannot connect to youtube" error is not widespread. -
We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is:>> Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.
About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone. Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc. This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

One thing that might help.
1. open itunes preferences from the edit menu and click on the devices tab.

4. Now click ok to close the preferences window.
5. connect the iphone to itunes and go to the info tab.

Cannot turn on iphone cellular calls error
When trying to activate iPhone Cellular Calls, I get the error "cannot turn on iphone cellular calls error, FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to the same Apple ID to use iPhone cellular calls" I am signed onto the same accounts in both places and cannot figure out what is wrong. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you
If you're trying to make calls from a mac, then you should make sure to enable FaceTime calls from your AppleID (email address) on both the mac and the iPhone. Don't uncheck your phone number, either. FaceTIme should be enabled on both devices with both your phone number and your AppleID.
For some reason, this is what had to be done for me to be able to make phone calls from my mac without receiving this message on my iPhone. I know it isn't ideal because we shouldn't have to enable FaceTime calls via AppleID, especially if we won't be using it with our AppleID, but this is what worked for me. Once you enable FaceTime calling from your AppleID on both the iPhone and your mac (while also keeping the calling enabled via your phone number), then try to turn on iPhone cellular calling on your iPhone. It should work, and then you can try to make a cellular call on your mac.
Some people may think that this isn't a fix because they might think I am talking about FaceTime audio calls. But I'm not. Try this and report back if you can. -

While making a backup copy in Itunes of my Iphone I receive the following error message: While making a backup copy of this iPhone (-35) an error has occurred. Do you want to continue with altering this Iphone? When you continue al the material on this Iphone will be lost.
I reinstalled iTunes but that dit not help. After synching iTunes with my iPhone it also asks to authorize my pc and when i Click on ok, it says it is already authorized.
Please can somebody help me, so I can make backup.
Greetz,
DerkIt's likely that your backup is corrupt. Try deleting the backup, then right click on the name of the phone in iTunes and choose "back up". To delete go to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab. Highlight and delete the most recent backup. Note that sometimes deleting this way leaves some garbage around that can still interfere with a new backup, so you should verify that the backup folder is empty.
from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key. -

IPhone and iPad error when syncing with itunes
iTunes cannot sync my iPhone 4 or iPad air, iPhone produces unknown error (-50), and iPad produces unknown error (-54), cannot sync. This problem started in the past seven days. Neither device is Jailbroken, so I know that's not a cause, any help?
I was having this problem and there isn't a lot out there about it. But it seems to have gone away with iOS 7.1, which is nice.

Just downloaded iTunes to new dell laptop, tried syncing my iPhone get an error message: "this iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started". What is the issue, had this phone over a year??
I had this problem before. I like to disable extra services to speed up my computer and I disabled the Apple Mobile Device service and had to re-enable this.
You can do that by going Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services. Once you have gone to the services window, look for Apple Mobile Device and right-click. Select "Properties". There should be some information about the service as well as the label "Startup Type" with a drop-down menu beside it. If it says "disabled", that is your problem; Change the selection to anything except disabled (Automatic is easier and ensures that you can sync as soon as itunes opens).
If this doesn't work, I would look into your anti-virus' settings. Good Luck! -
Using USB to connect to itunes with iphone. Getting error OXE8000084 with pulsating tone. Have reset password, authorized computer, & repaired itunes when reinstalled it. Any suggestions on how to successfully connect to itunes and what this error message means? Thanks
0X is a Windows Error. Take the time to look over on the right under the "More Like This" and look for ones that have the green checkmark as being solved. You should find answers there.

My problem - when syncing and error messages comes up: iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because an error occurred while margin data." I've tried turning the phone off and back on, & tried both USB ports but get the same thing. What can I do next since it doesn't give me even one clue as to what the error would be?
Before I started to resync calendars one by one as suggested in the troubleshooting article, I remembered something that came up in a sync when I first attempted : a 'which one do you want to keep' message about a repeating calendar event, which came up with three options, one from Calendar, and two from iCal on the phone. I deleted that event, then went through the calendar resync one by one, and all seems OK now.
In Music there is a way to find 'ghost' items that show up as grayed-out on the menus, so that you can try to reassociate or delete them. It would be nice to have a similar way to work with Calendar!
Thanks for pointing me to the right article. -
Text messages on iphone 5s getting error message not delivered
when attempting to send a text messages on iPhone 5s getting error message not delivered with a red explanation mark. I have filed cases with carrier and it comes back as device, some messages do go thru fine and then it will give the error for several message and then back to working again. Please Help.
Hi
I am NOT trying to be mean or patronizing so my apologies if this comes across that way
That said
SMS texts are sent on a part of the same carrier wave that carries voice calling and conversation as opposed to data - which is why even non smart phones can text - it is the unused portion of the spectrum that initially carriers were making money off of
http://computer.howstuffworks.com/e-mail-messaging/sms.htm
In other words - to be able to text - one has to have a plan that supports that
Also that is why in some plans international texts have a cost whereas one can merrily iMessage from anywhere in the world and get away with it free
So - if the texts are not leaving your phone - chances are that they do not have a channel to do that - that is an AT&T issue -
Why my iphone send me error 1009 , i know i live in iran and ... But appstore doesn't send me error until today that i face with this error
The 1009 error is normally associated with a blocked country. There are a list of countries that Apple is not allowed to sell their software to due to US restrictions. Iran and Syria come to mind but I believe there are about a dozen.
