Is there anything that could fix the restoring error 3 in iTunes???

So I just noticed that there seems to be no good way to fix the iTunes restoring error 3. So I decided to try this freezer technique(invented by kennethyoung) to fix it. Many people had succeed with it so why not give it a try. Here is what I came up with. Might look stupid though

Hello ParkAve,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with device errord. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
Check your USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014, or “invalid response."
If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable. 
Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
Try a different computer.
If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
BobbyD

    I am running Mac OS X Lion on a brand new Mini.  Every now and then, my keyboard goes "dead."  The mouse still works but I can't type.  If I restart, everything is fine again.  Is there anything that will fix this problem?
    Also, I am trying to connect my Mini from the mini-Displayport to the Displayport of my Dell U2410 monitor.  The image is very grainy,even though it is set to the correct resolution: 1920 X 1200 at 60Hz.  If I use HDMI to VGA input, the image is much clearer.  Is there a way to get the Displayport to work?

    I'm having exactly the same keyboard issue.  Certainly nothing has ever enhanced my concentration while coding like suddenly becoming unable to type.
    I'm seeing a great many devicemgr and rake errors in my system log.  I don't know if they're related.  How 'bout you?
    If you're unfamiliar with the system log…
    Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
    If necessary, choose View > Show Log List.
    system.log is at the top of the FILES section.
    Try searching it for hot words like DEBUG, FATAL, and aborted.
    I've found some discussions that would tend to indicate my errors are postGres related – I'm running OS X server.

  • How do I fix the following error? itunes counld not back up the iphone because the back up could not be saved on the computer?

    How do I fix the following error? itunes counld not back up the iphone because the back up could not be saved on the computer?

    I updated to iOS 5.0.1 days ago and didn't receive that notification until just now...
    This time I synced new photos I took yesterday, and it gave me the:
    "iTunes Sync: 54 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information"
    Perhaps it kicks off when new items get synced.
    I've decided to rent a movie yesterday. Once it gets deleted, I'm curious to see if it jumps to 55 items.

  • How do I fix the R6034 error in iTunes?

    How do I fix the R6034 error in iTunes?

    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.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • IPod Cracked! Can Apple fix it? How much? Any other location that could fix the cracked screen? Please Help!!!!

    I cracked my iPod screen... so i really want to fix the screen, yes i read the other discussions but none of them tell you how much they spent for repairing it. Please help! I want to fix it but i would like to know an estimate on how much i will spend on my iPod! Thank you!!!

    Apple at this time does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
    There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair". It is also possible to purchase parts and find instructions on doing a repair yourself, though it's not particularly easy. Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPod serviced by an unauthorized shop or perform a repair yourself, all further support from Apple will be void.
    Regards.

  • Sick of HP - is there anything that prints - all the time?

    I think it was the new OS upgrade that finally broke me on this. I've got an HP PSC 750xi that is the devils' spawn. It works when it wants, scans if it thinks I'm not looking and copies only if I cuss at it. It's been like this for a very long time so I don't think the recent OS caused it. But what has happened is that HP didn't supply a driver for 10.5 so I'm using a Gutenprint driver and can't get full color printing. It looks like crap and I need to present color prints to clients. (I've replaced all ink and ran tests and still...no color...just reddish and black.)
    So I'm ready to go dump this thing off a tall building but want something that WORKS. Seems Apple and printers don't like each other so is there anything out there that will print color, scan and copy and (gasp) actually work? Reliably? I just can't take this anymore. I've never had luck with HP but it seems that is all Costco carries.

    As for scanning, I can't recommend yet any scanners which work with Leopard, as mine no longer does. Probably best to search the various scanner vendors on my FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html
    And wait for one to release Leopard compatible drivers. Until then, you can dual boot Leopard and Tiger on the same machine, by having an external hard drive that has Tiger on it. Since your Macs in your profile sound like they are all PowerPC, you should get a Firewire hard drive from http://www.macsales.com/ or http://www.cooldrives.com/ to do this.

  • How do you fix the -1 error on itunes?

    So I go on to itunes and I try upgrading to iOS 7 and I get error -1, CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO FIX THIS?!?!?!?!??!?!?!

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I accidentally put a passcode lock on my iPhone and I forgot what I set for it, is there a way to take it off without accessing the phone? I have restored my phone but it doesn't work, is there anybody that could help me please?

    I accidentally put a passcode lock on my iPhone and I forgot what I set for it, is there a way to take it off without accessing the phone? I have restored my phone but it doesn't work, is there anybody that could help me please?

    You can't "accidentally" put a passcode on any iPhone...its a multi-step process. Further, restoring an iPhone will remove the passcode, as the passcode is not included in an iPhone backup.
    Are you sure you're talking about the phone passcode & not something else...like the "Restrictions" passcode?

  • I was updating my ipod and had to stop it so held down the power and home buttons. Now my ipod is frozen with the apple logo showing. The computer will not recognise it so it will not charge or restore. Is there anything that I can do myself?

    I was updateing the software on my ipod through the wireless straight to the ipod and had to stop so held down both the power and the home buttons. Now the screen is frozen with the apple logo and the normal 'unfreeze' technique won't work. The computer does not recognise the ipod so will not charge or restore it. Is there anything that I can do myself?

    Unplug it and let unit go dead. Then hold your Home button down and plug the USB power cord back in. iTunes should see it and then restore.

  • I'm having trouble with something that redirects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC. It's called the 'going on earth' virus. Do you have a fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?

    I'm having trouble with a virus or something which affects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC ...
    When I search a topic gives me pages of links as normal, but when I click on a link, the page is hijacked to a site called 'www.goingonearth.com' ...
    I've done a separate search and found that other users are affected, but there doesn't seem to be a clear-cut solution ... (Norton, McAfee and Kaspersky don't seem to be able to detect/fix it).
    I'd like to continue using the Firefox/Google combination (nb: the hijack virus also affects IE but not Safari) - do you have a patch/fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?
    thanks

    ''' "... vulnerability in your software?" ''' <br />
    And it affects IE, too? Ya probably picked up some malware and you blame it on Firefox.

    update : so after reading numerous posts, I tried unchecking entire playlist and just tried one of my playlists. That sync seemed to work, so I rechecked entire playlist and did the sync. It worked. Then I went in to my "walk to work" playlist and added some songs to see if it would sync now, and it did!!! so happy now. will see what happens tomorrow.

  • I tried to update my macbook pro, the screen is now frozen. My track pad hasn't been working for awhile and my disc drive is broken. IS there anything that can be done without buying a new laptop. It was bought in 2009

    My track pad has not been working properly for awhile and my disc drive it damaged. I went to update my macbook pro to maveric and it is now frozen and not allowing me to click anything. Is there anything that can be done to fix this without buying a new one? Its from early 2009

    ShelbyMackenzieLynne,
    when you say that your disc drive is damaged, do you mean your MacBook Pro’s hard disk drive, or do you mean its SuperDrive (the CD/DVD drive)?
    When you’d updated your MacBook Pro to Mavericks, did the installation succeed, and subsequently freeze up? Or did it freeze up during the Mavericks installation?
    Which version of OS X was installed on your MacBook Pro before you’d installed Mavericks?
    Are you currently able to boot into the Mavericks recovery partition? To see if you can do so, hold down a Command key and the R key while starting up your MacBook Pro.
