Did you try recovery mode? Hold down the home button as you connect it to iTunes. iTunes should pop up a window that says "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode" and give you the option to restore.

Anyone know how to fix this problem..... I am trying to update and download the latest version for my phone and it gets all the way to the end and says network timed out error 3259 or something. I have tried a so many times and get the same answer. I have restarted the computer, internet, etc. NOTHING. HELP!!!

Are you doing this over a wireless network. This happened a long time ago when we had DSL. I got sick of it and went to broadband thru our cable company.
If you are using wireles router, use a cable and connect your computer via the cable to the modem or wireless router if you have a location for the cable upon the wireless router. I think it is a cat 5 cable that connects the computer to your modem or wireless router. This way you Internet should not time out.
I hope this helps you. It is hard to identify the issue not knowing your Internet connect setup. Some modems and wireless routers have more Port options.

IPhone 3GS no longer recognized in iTunes and does not charge via wall

I upgraded my iMac to iTunes 9.2 when it came out.
My wife then upgraded her iPhone 3GS to iOS4.
Since then it is not recognized in iTunes and does not charge via the wall adapter.
I realize this topic crosses over with several ongoing discussions, but there are no 3rd party peripherals involved here.
The only major changes to our set up have been the itunes and iOS upgrades.
The battery is running down, any ideas to fix this, or other similar experiences welcome.

Went to the Apple store and they replaced the cable.

Samba and fusesmb: "connection timed out" error

Hello to everyone!
I'm facing a weird problem here: since a couple of days I cannot use fusesmb anymore: I can still "see" the SMB network shares that are present on my LAN, but as soon as I try to enter one of those I get a "connection timed out" error.
First of all I tried to reinstall fusesmb, to no avail. Then I tried to use smbclient directly:
[tudhalyas@paranor ~]$ smbclient -L <my_windows_box_IP>
This command correctly shows the list of shares that are present on my winXP box, and
[tudhalyas@paranor ~]$ smbclient \\\\<my_windows_box_IP>\\SharedDocs
creating lame upcase table
creating lame lowcase table
Enter tudhalyas's password:
Domain=[WINBOX] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
smb: \>
allows me to go into the "Shared Docs" folder of the said computer. From here I can flawlessly download files from the share.
Reading this thread I thought that samba 3.5.1 could be the culprit, and so I compiled samba 3.4.7 through ABS and then installed it. Sadly, fusesmb still doesn't work. I even tried to use smbnetfs, but again to no avail.
Does anyone of you know what I could do to address this issue? Thanks in advance!

bump... can anybody help me please?

IPhone isn't recognized by iTunes, and when it is, data speeds are slow!

Hey all,
For the last few months I have been having an issue with the drivers on my computer for Apple iPhone. Before, it would connect to iTunes just fine, and would work flawlessly. Now either it connects to iTunes and it being recognized by Windows Explorer as a camera doesn't show up, or Windows Explorer picks it up as a camera, but it doesn't communicate with iTunes. I have noticed that when the PC picks the phone up as a camera, "MTP Device" shows up under "Portable Devices" in Device Manager. When iTunes can pick the phone up, it shows up under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" as "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver".
I have tried various tricks with driver installing/uninstalling. If I want my computer to connet to iTunes, I need to uninstall and reinstall the driver with my iPhone connected, or it doesn't work at all. It appears as a hardware error and driver error before I uninstall the driver. Deleting the driver software does nothing. When I do this trick, the transfer speeds between my iPhone are slow. An example is, it takes 5 hours to synchronize 161 songs to the iPhone. If I can manage to get the iPhone to show up as a device under the USB controllers, transfer speeds between the computer and phone are normal. Changing the USB cable and chosing a different port doesn't help. A complete restore of iOS software revealed no results. I just started with a clean OS install a half a year ago, I am not looking forward to wiping my OS to fix this... any help on fixing this? Thanks.

Have you tried to reset the iphone, holding the sleep and home button together for 10 seconds?
Also, a firewire cable only charges the iphone. You will need a usb cable to sync - the usb cable does not allow for charging I think.
When opening the preference window in itunes, there should be a Sync icon, all the way to the right, when clicking on that Sync icon - I think it is the iphone icon - does the name of the iphone appear in the window?

My iphone can't be recognized by itunes and it won't turn on fully..

My girlfriend bought an iphone today on craigslist..the man who bought it said that it was jailbroke but he didn't use it very much. The program was cydia. We went the the att store to get some accessories and the techician did a restore on the phone. Now it won't turn on, it is stuck on the apple icon loading screen, which is a snowflake now, and it isn't being recognized by itunes! What should I do?

Unfortunately for you, jailbroken phones void Apple's warranty. In addition, you forfeit your right to any support from Apple including from this forum. Terms of Use of this forum prohibit the discussion of jailbroken phones.
This is why it is never advisable to purchase a phone from anyone other than an authorized reseller.
You will need to search the internet for a solution to your problem. Keep in mind that most jailbroken phones will never again work properly, if at all.

My iPod isn't recognized by iTunes and I want to update it but I can't. What do I do?

I plug in my iPod and it will charge but I have tried everything to get iTunes to recognize it and it won't. I want to update it to IOS 5 but I need the iTunes to connect with it.

Have you tried here:

Iphone 5S no longer recognized in ITunes and so cannot sync

Iphone 5S is no longer recognized in ITunes so it cannot sync. I am not seeing the driver listed and therefore the recommendation to repair the driver does not work for me. Have rebooted, deleted Itunes and reuploaded many many times. I have read and tried all the "Apple" fixes listed. I use Kasperasky Anti-Virus and wondered if that could be blocking the driver needed. I have added the Apple programs to Kaspersky's exclusion list but that did not work. Seems ridiculous to spend any more money to download songs in ITunes if I can never sync my Iphone 5S to get them on my phone. Apple techs, please help - just recommending the standard fixes I keep reading has not helped at all. Anyone else have a different suggestion? Thanking you in advance as I've spent so many hours on trying to find a fix.

Thank you for your suggestions but I still have the problem. The Iphone 5S is not recognized and I have deleted Kaspersky off my computer (and still have not put it back on yet). I still do not see the Apple Mobile Service USB Driver listed. I had done this process previously (several times) but went through it all again in your order just in case I missed something. I am wondering if there is a way to go back to the previous version of ITunes in case it was the ITunes update causing me the problems. I do not think I can blame it on Kaspersky since it is not on my computer now and I have the same problem.
I also notice that the Iphone is not listed in my devices in Windows 7 - not sure if it was before or is suppose to be for sure - but just noting it is not. I tried the option to add devices but Windows does not find the Iphone 5S. Just thought I would add that information in case that should lead to a solution. Again thanks for your time - would appreciate any other suggestions. I don't think you can use Apple Support without paying money so would like to find help from someone else having the problems. I think it is odd so many people are having problems with their phone being recognized or sometimes just it syncing - and various steps have helped others (like uninstalling and re-installing). Thanks for any help.

IPod isn't recognized by iTunes and iTunes opens very slow!!

Hey!
So here's my very urgent problem (go on vacation tomorrow!!!):
Everytime I click to open iTunes, it takes about 5 minutes until it opens! I have a Windows XP and have also updated iTunes to the newest software. I don't know what the problem is...
And second, my iPod doesn't connect with iTunes, it won't be recognized by iTunes! Windows recognizes it, but iTunes doesn't. I've already tried at every USB connection, but it doesn't work! Well, once it worked and I thought that was it, but the next time it didn't work anymore!
I've got a pink iPod mini (4 GB) and I dropped it some times, but the man in the Apple Support store said, it's got nothing to do with the hardware. Really?
Who can help me please - very fast??!
Thank you!
Chrissy

Sorry, don't real understand! ;-))
OK, I closed all other background applications when using iTunes. But the problem is that I couldn't do the next step because iTunes always tell me: "The software required for communicating with the iPod isn't installed correctly. Please reinstall..." So I can't drag the iPod icon from my computer (and anyway: where is "my computer"??) to iTunes application (where is that one??)
But at least it's good news that nothing's wrong with the hardware (couldn't afford a new one! ;-))
Please reply soon, it would be real cool if you'd help me with further steps... and everyone else too of course! ;-D
