Iphone 5s 7.1.2 update itunes error 12

Hi I got an iphone 5s and updated yesterday to 7.1.2 and I downloaded it and it put it in to recovery mode and tells me to plug in to iTunes so I plugged it in and I go to restore the phone and it gets to about 3/4 of the way then comes up saying on my iTunes error 12 is there any fix for this?

Hey olliechilders,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are receiving error code 12 when attempting to update/restore your device. The following resource outlines this error code and a potential resolution:
Resolve iOS update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
Check for hardware issues
Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
1. Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
2. Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
3. Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
4. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Thanks,
Matt M.

    I'm about to hulk out guys! Brand new iPhone 5 and need to update iTunes for recognition. Keep getting "the installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail." Can anyone help? I may smash something very soon.

    iTunes:
    AppName: itunes.exe          
    AppVer: 10.5.0.142          
    ModName: unknown
    ModVer: 0.0.0.0   
    Offset: 001be6f6
    Quicktime:
    EventType : BEX

    P2 : 7.71.80.42

    P7 : 00005b6d   
    P8 : c0000409   
    P9 : 00000000
    That's consistent with another application (other than QuickTime) having dropped old QuickTime componentry in non-standard locations on the PC.
    So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
    First we'll need to change some view options on the PC.
    1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
    2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
    5. Click OK.
    Now in My Computer, open your C drive.
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "system32" folder.
    What files and/or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file/folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I just updated my iphone to ios 7 and updated itunes to 11.1.  Yesterday I noticed I couldn't move music from my library to my iphone.  Today I noticed that most of the music on my iphone is gone.  What do I do?

    I  just updated my iphone to ios 7 and updated itunes to 11.1.  Yesterday I  noticed I couldn't move music from my library to my iphone.  Today I  noticed that most of the music on my iphone is gone.  What do I do?

    I don't see how the AAC Version thing really applies here - the issue seems to be with
    the time it takes for "Preparing to Update" to run when adding new songs and
    the fact that a bunch of songs can get temporarily deleted from your phone, then need to be recopied over.
    I should also add that I'm using iTunes for Mac (OS 10.6).
    And Linda0410, if you view your phone's library in iTunes on your computer while it's copying, you should be able to see a bunch of grayed out songs, and there will be a little indicator on the left hand side of each song that's currently being copied.

  • IPhone 4S bricked after 6.1 update - iTunes errors 21/1611

    Yesterday my iPhone 4S asked me to install the iOS 6.1 update (via the Settings.app) "over the air". After downloading and preparing the update, the iPhone rebooted itself to start the update process.
    Unfortunately, this is where it all went wrong. It seems like the iPhone update failed somewhere along this process. It is now stuck in "Recovery Mode", with the picture showing me to connect the phone to iTunes.
    I have tried countless times restoring the phone via iTunes, on 4 different computers, and on Windows 7 and OS X.
    Nothing works. The restore process fails during the "Preparing iPhone" phase.
    Here's what happens every time:
    I can see the phone being restarted.
    The Apple logo shows up, and a little wheel in the bottom of the screen starts spinning
    As soon as (usually even before) the progress bar shows up on the phone, the device suddenly shuts down
    The iPhone reboots right back into recovery mode, asking me to connect to iTunes
    I'm quite desperate at this point. I have followed all steps imaginable (including turning off Windows firewall and antivirus software), but even then the restore still won't complete. iTunes always gives me the same error: 1611.
    When putting the phone into DFU manually, it gives me another error: 21.
    Both seem to point to third-party security software interfering with the restore process.
    However, having tried this on 4 different computers, I am 99% sure that this is not the issue. So far I've tried:
    HP Laptop - Windows 7
    Asus Desktop - Windows 7
    2010 Macbook Pro 15" - OS X Mountain Lion + Windows 8 (Bootcamp)
    2010 Macbook Pro 13" - OS X Mountain Lion
    Also, I should mention that in Belgium there aren't any official Apple Stores where I can book an appointment at a Genius Bar. Is this 4S doomed?

    @Hasan123
    Hasan123Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to downgrade to lower iOS versions even if I managed to get a restore going...

    @wuzi36
    I have already tried restoring the phone on my Macbook Pro running Windows 8 Pro, with the latest version of iTunes, but unfortunately the same errors still pop up...

    Antivirus and firewall are off, access to the Apple update verification servers is not the problem...

    Errors 1611 (in recovery mode) and sometimes 21 (when restoring in DFU mode).

  • Itunes says I need itunes 11.1 version or later on my iphone before it will recognise the iphone. How do I update itunes on my iphone or is it a computer problem?

    I have been trying to sync/back up my iphone and ipad but iTunes is saying I need to update my iphone to version 11.1 or later. I thought my phone was up to date and I can't seem to update iTunes on my phone anyway. Does anyone know how to update iTunes on my phone or is it a computer problem? I've been having problems with iTunes on my PC so I re-installed it but it's been a nightmare trying to get it to work.
    This is the message I receive says " The iphone 'iPhone' cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 11.1 or later. Go to www.itunes.com.au to download the latest version of iTunes". I get a similar one for my iPad too.
    When I go to the website I can only find the download for my PC but not the iPhone.
    Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

    No, your iPhone i s telling you that you need iTunes 11.1 or greater on your computer in order to sync with the computer.
    I've been having problems with iTunes on my PC so I re-installed it but it's been a nightmare trying to get it to work.
    Then you should fix this issue with iTunes before you try to sync your iPhone to it.

  • HT201210 my iPhone says unable to install update    An error occurred installing iOS 6

    my iPhone is telling me it is unable to install update    An error occurred installing iOs 6.  What am I doing wrong?  went to settings, general, software and it shows me the ios 6 update - agreed to the terms and conditions and it gives the above message.  Anyone got a suggestion?

    There is no such thing as an iPhone 's3'.  There is a 3G which can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1 and a 3GS which can be updated to iOS 6.1.3.

  • HT5654 Can't update itunes error 3072

    Error message 3072 when I try to do latest software update itunes 11.0.5

    Hello Selfdeterminant,
    Have you tried the steps as mentioned in this Apple Support kb for the iTunes Error after iTunes 11.1.4 Update : http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5376
    Did you remove all the iTunes and its Components in the Given Order.
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support ( If unable to remove you can ignore it )
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    If you are unable to download iTunes Setup file using the Default browser then have you tried downloading iTunes with a different Web Browser, if not then try that. ( Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome)
    Save the iTunes Installer file in the Location where you can easily find it
    After removing iTunes and its components Restart your Computer once and then Right click the iTunes Setup.exe file and run the Program as Administrator
    If you are using the 64 Bit version of Windows on your computer then it is Good to change the Install Location from " C:\Program Files(x86)\iTunes " To " C:\Program Files\iTunes " while installing iTunes when it asks for the Location.

  • IPhone 4S, iOS 8.2 update, iTunes album cover art missing

    Hello,
    I just updated my 64GB iPhone 4s to the new iOS 8.2, after reading online that it addressed issues with previous iOS 8 updates.
    Everything on the phone seems to work fine as far as I've found, but the album cover art for almost every album isn't coming over.
    I know this may sound insignificant, but it is the fastest way to look up music, especially when on the go.
    I have all my album artwork included on iTunes on my laptop.  Previous to this update, all album covers came over to iPhone.
    I just did the update to 8.2 last night (March 9, 2015), and synced my iPhone with my laptop to update my music catalog.
    First time it didn't bring the artwork over, so I re-synced and tried again.  Our of the 474 albums currently on the devise, album artwork came over on 58 albums.
    Has anyone else identified this issue?  If so, were you able to find a solution?
    Thank you.

    This has happened about 2 other times since updating to iOS 8.3.  I have an iPhone 6 Plus (128 GB).  I am able to retrieve the album artwork by removing the music from the device and then syncing with iTunes again.  This is a hassle, though, as I have 12,000+ songs that I sync to the device.  Album artwork hangs around for about 2 weeks and then mysteriously vanishes again.  So I have finally given in and will wait until the next software update and then hope for the best with another remove/sync cycle after the update has been applied.
    Bush league, Apple.  Bush league.

  • IPhone 4 stuck in recovery mode, iTunes error message pops up saying cannot be restored...how do I go about this?

    Hi all..hoping someone can help me out with this.
    So I recently lost my iPhone 5, therefore I am going to use a friend's old iPhone 4 in the meantime. The iPhone 4 has been jailbroken, but I wanted to do a reset to clear the jailbreak as well as just clear all other data, so that I can just restore my own iCloud backup & use with my own data.
    However, the problem I am now faced with is that the phone is in recovery mode, and when I plug in the phone to my computer...I am given the options to click Restore. But after all the time it takes to update the software and supposedly doing its thing with "restoring" the phone....turns out no luck, i get an error message saying the phone cannot be restored. And now I pretty much can't do anything because I do not know how to do a reset of any sort to get out of this recovery mode.
    PLEASE HELP. first time losing phone, first time trying to figure out how to reset and get out of recovery mode. I just want to be able to reset and then restore with previous backup..
    I really appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.
    *please ask any questions that you may need in order to help me solve this, since I am not exactly sure how to word some of these problems*

    Hello missyfromsouthport,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning restoration issues:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    You might need to use recovery mode if:
    You can't update or restore because iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's "in recovery mode".
    The Apple logo remains onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
    The Connect to iTunes screen appears.
    See what to do if the progress bar remains onscreen for several minutes
    Use recovery mode
    Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
    Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
    Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
    Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
    When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
    iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
    Use iTunes to restore your device.
    If you don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
    Additional Information
    If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    BobbyD

  • Updated itunes, error message about mobile popped up during installation, then after installation, tunes will not start. gives error that a dll file is missing.

    I downloaded the new Itunes version. During installation, there was an error message that said no Mobile access.  After installation, Itunes would not open.  Gave an error message that a DLL file was not found. Removed itunes from computer and initiated new download.  Same problem with new download. Still does not open. I'm stumped.  I have over  30,000 files in itunes and use it every day HELP

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.

  • Tried updating iTunes- error 7 (Windows Error 127)

    I tried to update my iTunes on my Windows XP and the download went fine but now when I try to open it I get an error 7 message along with (windows error 127) what do I do now?

    Brilliant. Thanks a lot. I've wasted a couple of hours on this nasty bug, & trying all the other suggestions across various threads again and again.
    I now find I had the same registry entry hanging on, despite uninstalling & wiping everything again and again. Having now deleted this key, (I don't even have an iPod), & iTunes 11.1.14 now opens at long last.
    But WHY is this bug not fixed? Enough people are suffering with this across the forum. WHERE is Apple support on this?
    It should have been added to their page at 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    by now, why hasn't it???
    It's not good enough!
    Re:

    AHA! This entry for iPodService.exe still exhisted.  So I had no folders on the PC, no installs on the PC and no services running.... BUT this was still in the Registry.
    Step 5 - Delete only the Registry entry above.  NO REBOOT
    Step 6 - Reinstall iTunes64.exe
