Iphone/Ipad/ipod update problems

Ever since I bought my first Ipod about 6 years ago I have had trouble updating also with my Ipad and two 3gs phones . Whenever I try to update them they always get stuck in recovery mode and an error 1604 comes up which means that their is something that apple doesnt like about my usb connection so I then spend the next few nights trouble shooting and retrying until all of a sudden it works.
All my other phones Ive had all updated perfectly through the same usbs, Samsung,Motorola.
So today I got an Iphone 5 (the wifes choice not mine) and got home and plugged it in to sync contacts etc and got the "update for your device available" notification. Foolishly I clicked on update and have now spent the last 5 or so hours with a phone in recovery mode trying all the usual things I do to get it to work including updating to latest I tunes which seems to freeze up almost as much as the phone, but thats another issue.
Ive tried different usb ports and the one thing that worked on my other devices which was to wait until the restore had begun and then kill Itunes with the task manager then restart Itunes then sometimes the update would complete.
I also had error message 2002 at one stage.
So I went to my neighbours house across the road and after 2 hours of restoring I got "error message 1" which I havent seen before .
So how do I fix this problem? Do I have to go to an apple store every time i want to update? Do I buy a new computer and hope that the usb configuration is one that apple products might work with or do I take the phone back and get a Droid???
Thanks for your help.
Ps. Sorry about the long-winded question/rant.

So I just gave it one last try.This time I waited for the restore to begin, then I killed itunes with the task manager and unplugged the phone at the phone not the usb end. Then I plugged the phone back in then restarted itunes and did the restore and hey presto it worked.
Still alot of ballsing around for something that should be easy.
Just gave myself 10 points , now I feel all warm and fuzzy.

You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
This is a confusing statement. Can really move the rental between devices or not???

If you originally downloaded it to a computer, yes. If you originally downloaded it to an iOS device, probably not; if you want to try anyway, use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes.

Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops?

Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops? I assume it would show the new price in the Wish List but does it inform you if the price drops?

The apps which show on the file sharing section on your iPad when connected to your computer's iTunes, you have exactly the same apps installed on your iPhone - they are not separate iPad and iPhone apps that you have installed on your iPad/iPhone, and only the iPad version supports file sharing ?
For iBooks, that won't show, it doesn't support file sharing. You can add ibooks / epubs / PDFs to your computer's iTunes library (the iBooks app if you are using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it) via File > Add To Library, and you sync them to a device via its Books tab :
If you want to copy them off the device to your computer's iTunes (to the iBooks app on Mavericks) then File > Devices > Transfer Purchases will copy them over (that will copy PDFs and epubs from the iBooks app on your device, not just ibooks).

Why iPhone, iPad, iPod cameras don't connect to desktops/laptops /macmini,

why iPhone, iPad, iPod cameras don't connect to desktops/laptops /macmini, why... ...
Mr. jobs would hv helped me
it it just so simple ...these people are working on icloud, photostream etc etc
think .....if we have a wireless link with the camera of iphone we can record movies and carry out editing at the same moment on desktops that too wirlesssly
its just like have a one way facetime with our desktops......wow
eventually apple people will come up with this same idea later some time
but the question is why it doesnt connect why?

They do.
Standby = press the Power button
Power off = Press and hold Power button then slide the red power off slider.
Reset = Press and hold both Reset adn Home till you see the Apple logo.
This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.
Because it is better to not push the power button and more enjoyable to not push it?

Proxy Autoconfiguration File, Authenticated Proxy and iTunes iPad/iPod updates

Hi All,
Please can someone advise if there is anything that can be done to get iPad/ Ipod updates working using iTunes and an authenticating proxy server?
Scenario is as follows:
1. Proxy settings in IE is configured using a proxy autoconfiguration file (PAC file).
2. The URLS *.apple.com is allowed to bypass authentication on the Proxy server.
3. Itunes is used to update the devices from a PC running windows as OS.
When Itunes is opened, the connection to the Itunes store works 100%. The iOS downloads using iTunes is also successfull.
Issue:
As soon as the downloaded iOS is being extracted and communicated to the devices, iTunes fails with an error code of 3004..
It seems like the PC is trying to make direct connections out instead of using the proxy settings in the PAC file.
Any advice / ideas to get this working?
Regards

HI,
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
If you have Safari 3rd party plugins, they may not be compatible with 10.6. Go here for trouble shooting.
If you use GlimmerBlocker by chance, that could be the culprit. Check out this thread.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10589731
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1594
Same with any Input Managers. Move any files in the /Library/InputManagers folder to the Trash
If you are running Safari in 64 bit mode, try running in 32-bit mode instead. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.
Go to ~/Library/Cookies and move the Cookies.plist file to the Trash.
Try Open DNS - Free / Basic
If Safari still can't open web pages, go to the Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. If Safari loads web pages then that .plist file needs to be moved to the Trash.

Does messaging to/from iPhone to/from iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch count as a text charge for Verizon?

My dad has an iPad 2 and my little brother has an iPod Touch (4th generation). As long as there is a Wi-Fi signal, they are able to message, Facetime, and use the internet all for "free" (no extra charges from our internet service provider, which is obvious).
My dad recently purchased an iPhone 4S from Verizon.
He is currently on the "Pay As You Go" plan for messages ($0.20/text and $0.25/picture and video).
When are messages free, and when are they not free? Are they free as long as there is a Wi-Fi signal? Are they free as long as it is from the iPhone to another iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch? Do I get charged for data only when I see the "3G" symbol displayed in the upper left corner of the iPhone?
Thanks in advance!

I then turned Wi-Fi off on the iPhone 4S but had "Send as SMS" turned on, tried sending another message to the Touch (Wi-Fi activated), and it did not send at all (because the Touch is SMS-incapable).
That sort of makes sense, but even with wi-fi off the 4S should have been able to send the iMessage over 3G to the Touch, which was on wi-fi. Your results would only make sense if the 4S didn't have 3G service, or if the iMessage servers were down, or if you've turned iMessage off completely on the 4S. That would force the message to go out as SMS but the Touch can't receive SMS.
Sorry, I was a bit unclear there.
I had both Wi-Fi and Cellular Data (3G) turned off to see if "Send as SMS" alone would work if I was sending a message to an SMS-incapable device (to see if the iPhone would try anyway and to see if I would get charged for that).
I'll type out some scenarios, and tell me if I'm wrong on these. They might seem redundant since you have pretty much answered all my questions, but I want to make absolutely sure that I understand. These could also clear things up for others who will/have read this discussion.
Scenarios involving iPhone 4S to iPod Touch (both running iOS 5):
4S has Wi-Fi, 3G, and "Send as SMS" turned on. Touch has Wi-Fi turned on.
4S can iMessage to Touch via Wi-Fi (as long as there is a Wi-Fi signal) free of charge and will remain free of charge and with no accrued data usage because 4S prioritizes Wi-Fi before 3G before SMS.
Once out of range of the Wi-Fi signal, 3G kicks in and any iMessages sent from 4S to Touch will count towards data plan usage (in my dad's case, 300MB/$20 per month - the minimum plan). However, data size will be insignificantly small if it's a simple words-only message and will only be a fraction of a percentage of the 300 MB.
My dad turns off Cellular Data (3G), Wi-Fi is still out of range, and he sends a message (keep in mind that "Send as SMS" is still turned on). Because the Touch is not capable of sending/receiving SMS messages, the message will just fail to send.
These scenarios would also have the same outcome if the Touch had been a Wi-Fi-only iPad. If the iPad had 3G capability, the message received from the 4S would have added towards the data plan usage of the iPad.
Scenarios involving iPhone 4S to another iPhone (both running iOS 5):
Both phones have Wi-Fi, 3G, and "Send as SMS" turned on. Messaging plan for each phone is "Pay as You Go" - $0.20/text and $0.25/picture or video.
iMessages are free and do not count towards data plan usage if both currently have strong Wi-Fi signals.
4S still has strong Wi-Fi signal, other iPhone gets out of Wi-Fi range and switches to 3G. Any messages received by the other iPhone from the 4S will count towards data plan usage of the other iPhone. However, the outgoing message from the 4S will still be free and will not count towards data plan usage.
Other iPhone turns off 3G and is still out of Wi-Fi range but still has "Send as SMS" turned on. 4S (with strong Wi-Fi signal) sends message, "I love you." to other iPhone. The message will still be free and will not count towards data plan usage for 4S but will charge $0.20 to other iPhone.
Scenario involving iPhone 4S to Samsung Galaxy 2 (running Android OS):
4S has Wi-Fi, 3G, and "Send as SMS" turned on.
Any message sent from 4S to Galaxy will count as SMS because Galaxy is incapable of iMessage. Therefore, Wi-Fi and 3G are insignificant, and 4S is charged $0.20.
4S has Wi-Fi, 3G, and "Send as SMS" turned off.
4S will not be capable of sending anything.
4S has Wi-Fi and 3G turned on, but "Send as SMS" is turned off.
4S has strong Wi-Fi signal, but message will not be sent to Galaxy.
4S gets out of Wi-Fi range and 3G kicks in, but message will not be sent to Galaxy and no data usage will have occurred.
That should be everything...at least everything I've considered.
Again, thank you.

TS3540 How to fix iTunes 11.0.4 (62) problem of won't connect or recognize iOS devices iPhones, iPads, iPod

It appears that there is a flaw in the Apple iTunes 11.0.4 (62) installer related to mobile devices and the USB port. The below fixed the problem for me.
The symptom was iTunes 11.0.4 (62) was not connecting to my son's iPodTouch 1st Generation. Many other iPad, iPods and iPhones are reporting having this problem on many different computers both Mac and Windows. >56,000 on Apple discussion forums.
The iPodTouch was recognized by the computer and would charge but iTunes would not recognize the iPodTouch.
All of our family's other iOS devices worked fine.
The problem is not the computer, the cabel, the OS or the device.
Apple's suggestions in various tech docs did not solve the problem in and of themselves. I had to go back down to the previous version to force the current version to reinstall properly:
Deleting iTunes 11.0.4 (62) and reinstalling did not solve the problem.
Deleting iTunes 11.0.4 (62) and installing iTunes 10.7 made Will's iPodTouch connect fine but then there were other problems.
Deleting iTunes 11.0.4 (62) and installing iTunes 10.7 and deleting iTunes 10.7 and reinstalling 11.0.4 (62) solved all problems.
To Reinstall iTunes: (from Apple docs)
Quit iTunes
Delete:
/Applications/iTunes
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleMobileDevice.kext
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig
but do not delete com.apple.usbmuxd.plist
Restart
Reinstall iTunes version desired
Open iTunes to test and make sure iOS devices connect

How do you handle the iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch with PHDs?

This is one of the areas that I'm having the most difficulty right now. Here's the setup:
1 Server with 10.5.8
3 desktops with 10.6.3
2 laptops with 10.6.3
3 users, each of whom has an iPhone. Let's say Jane has been using her desktop all week but is going to work from home on Friday, so she takes a laptop. She logs out of her desktop and logs in with the laptop while on the gigabit ethernet LAN to save time. This goes well, and she goes home. Friday she logs in and needs to sync her iPhone. It now says that she needs to authorize the machine. Ok, she dos this. Uh oh.. now she's at her limit of 5 machines. (Since the iTunes Music Store only lets users authorize 5 machines, this might pop up again) - also, it shows that she has 10 updates to her applications. She thinks this is strange because she had just synced her iPhone the day before and there were no additional updates, and the updates that the MacBook is showing her are the same versions that are installed on the iPhone already.
I suppose that she can simply re-download the stuff and it won't be an issue, but is that the only effective solution?
What have you folks done to facilitate 'ease of use' when using portable home directories and iPhone/iPad users?

The iPod touch doesn't have the "enable disk use" option of other iPods.
A program called AirSharing will let you mount the iPod touch as a wireless drive

How To Edit Songs Names/Artists On Ur iPhone/iPad/iPod

ive been keeping my iphone library clean throughout the years and recently since ive updated my itunes and purchased the new iphone4s
it hasnt been working, anybody know why?>

You need to copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old comptuer to your new one.
The ipod/iphone/ipad are not storage/backup devices. They simply mirror the selected content of your computer. The sync is one way - computer to ipod/iphone/ipad. The exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You can sync to one computer/library at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current contnet and replace with content from the new computer.
