IPhone error message in iTunes, frozen iPhone
Bit of background, I have to iPhone 3GS with 4.1.something.
The computer it's synced to is running windows XP.
Two weeks ago my lock button stopped working, I now have to leave it out for a minute to lock (although the button still works when the phone is off and you turn it on).
Just today I tried to unlock my phone when it froze, totally unresponsive.
I tried to reset it, doesnt work with my dodgy button.
I tried to sync it to iTunes, and I get this message:
"iTunes could not connect to iPhone because an invalid response was recieved from the device."
I have the latest iTunes and the apple driver etc...
anyone know how to help me?
Thanks, Levi.

Create a new user account on your mac, delete this app from your phone, you can download it again for free if it is not the culprit. Then log in with that new account, disable autosync in itunes and connect your phone. Transfer your purchases by right clicking on your phone in the device list and choosing "transfer purchases". Then try to move some apps on your iphone screen and sync afterwards. If you're having no problems doing this, the app you where talking about was the culprit.
Make sure your data is backed up before

I have never been so frustrated before in my life with any phone. I find it obnoxious as it is that I cannot simply drag and drop files (especially MP3's) straight from my PC directly into my phone, which I have been used to doing up until now. Everyone who convinced me to get the iPhone has instructed me that my frustration can be fixed by downloading iTunes and syncing it all up via that program (which I have never used before). So, I downloaded the program successfully, however when I connect the iPhone 4 to the PC and iTunes is open, I get an error message that 'iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone "iPhone" and that I should go to the Preferences tab of the iPhone and select 'restore' to restore this phone to factory settings. First of all, I don't understand why I need to do that. I have already downloaded apps and other important things in the 2 days that I have the phone. I am also scared that it will erase my contacts. This is such a headache. Music is very imporatant to me, but I am getting so frustrated that I don't have freedom over the phone which I thought was supposed to be one of the best out there. I would really appreciate help in this matter. I am sure the phone is great but I am on the verge of taking it back and getting something else.
Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

or here:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

Error message saying iTunes doesn't include software for iPhone
I get an error message saying iTunes doesn't include the software for iPhone. It says to uninstall and re-install iTunes. I have done it twice and both times I get the same error.
There is an entire iPhone forum here

I don't have one - perhaps you will be better off there, where most will?
Best of luck! -

I got this error message in iTunes. It states, "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. An unknown error occurred (-50)." Does anyone know what this means, and what steps (if any) I should take to correct the error? Thank you.

Trying to sync an old iPhone to iTunes and error message in iTunes appears: "We are sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time" so unable to sync.
How long has this been going on?
If more than 48 hours, then try a different computer. -
I backed up to my PC and attempted restore but I keep getting an error message that "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available." I have a 32GB iPhone; only 13GB used!!! HELP! iCloud backup/restore did not work either! How can I resolve this problem to restore from back up.
If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades. -
i get an error message saying itunes could not sync mail accounts. because the mail accounts are in use by the iPhone. It asks that i close the mail accounts settings on the iPhone and sync again. Is it requesting that i delete my email accounts?
just as i've posted the same issue here hope that someone could give us a hand. I have just swtched from nokia to iPhone for my company cell and i have more than 1000 contacts... it would be murder to create those contacts one by one )))))

I can not seem to back up my iPhone 5s, error message is: iTunes cannot back up this iPhone because not enough free space is available on this computer
There is plenty of space over 260gbAre you absolutely sure there's 20GB in use, and not that it has 20GB free? If you click on the hard drive icon on your desktop and click cmd-i to Get Info, what is the available space?

When I attmpt to synch my Iphone I get the following error message. "Itunes was unable to load data class informationfrom synch services. Reconnect or try again later. This started after I uddated to the latest version of Itunes. What should I do?
My iPods are working fine...this is just on our iPhone 3GSs....friend said his iPhone 4 was working fine with upgrade.
Tried: the winsock reset, uninstall/re-install of iTunes, shut the firewall down. Even called Apple...and after 2 hours of being told that "I'm savvy and have done everything they'd recommend" still with no fix...
Still: Takes over 2 minutes (not hooked up to phone) to open Edit-Preferences-Device...and can't find any backups?!?! Takes over 2 minutes to even open the phone to change spps, musice, books, etc....but won't let me do anything with contacts...wonder if this is what that error message is about (because I don't actually sync to an email program, I've just kept it all on the phone - mistake).

Can anyone help me? The iTunes update corrupted my program. I uninstalled, and then reinstalled iTunes; only to find an error message about iTunes Helper. After several fruitless, repeat attempts, I am at a loss. Please help…
Many thanks.
With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
