ITunes 10.3.1(55) on Mac showing 42408 error when iPhone 3GS is connected for syncing

I am trying to connect my iPhone 3GS to iTunes 10.3.1(55) on a Macbook pro but I am seeing the error "42408" and I am being asked to restore my iphone to factory settings.
Please help as I don't want to undergo the risk of losing all my data.
Thanks.

teefster,
not sure this helps; but, I've found that if the remote app doesn't connect I close it out (double pressing the home button and 'sliding up' the remote app (ios7)) Then when I restart the remote app - it seems to connect.
Same behavoir now on my iPad since I've update the remote app. Ironically itunes recognizes the ipad WITHOUT having to 'p'air it'! My iphone 5S must be paired to itunes =:0
now that all our iphones are on the most current version of ios7 and have the most current version of the remote app - the connect to itunes is now glitchy; but, still usable with the aforementioned work around. Ironcially, when either the ios7 OR the remote we just the most previous version they seemed to connect to my itunes without issue.
BTW - see this thread for help on down reving your remote app:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23946928#23946928
Agreed Apple seems a little remiss in the supporting the backward compatibilty of the app.
thanks for taking the time to reply!

  • When iPhone 3GS is connected iTunes doesn't launch

    Updated to iTunes 9, updated iPhone to 3.1. When iPhone gets connected iTunes doesn't launch automatically. I should add though, that my ipod shuffle when connected does auto launch iTunes.

    Here's what I did: uncheck "disable autosync for ipod and iphones" in itunes/settings. Then connect your phone, go to summary pane and choose "sync when this phone is connected". Go back to itunes/settings and select "disable autosync..." again. Check the summary pane again, autosync should be garyed out again. Close itunes, disconnect the phone. Connect again and itunes should auto launch without starting to sync.

  • My mac shows an error when I try uploading a video on youtube. Why?

    Hello all,
    I`m facing an annoying problem with my Mac.
    I`ve tried several times uploading a video on youtube. However, after a while, the website returns a message like: 'the video has not been processed' or 'it was not possible to process the video'.
    And then, I tried to do same, with same video, from my Windows notebook, and it went well.
    Thanks in advanced for answers.

    Could someone help me on it? Please!
    Thanks again.

  • Retina Mac shows gray screen when waking up: what to do besides loosing work?

    (see also http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/96188/retina-mac-shows-gray-screen-when -waking-up )
    This is the first time that my Retina MacBook Pro wakes up from sleep with a gray screen. After about 10-20 seconds, the MacBook falls asleep again.
    Some points that might be relevant:
    The only difference between power adapter and no power adapter is that with power adapter it does not go to sleep again.
    The battery is almost full (I closed the lid last night when it was about 90%)
    An external monitor was not attached when sleeping it, so I don't think How to fix a Macbook that does not always draw its internal screen after waking from sleep and having unplugged external display while asleep? applies.
    I've run gfxCardStatus, almost always in "force integrated mode" (to conserve battery). And normally it wakes up correctly.
    I run VMware Fusion 4.
    All software is up-to-date and fully patched.
    I tried to plugin an HDMI monitor and switch displays with Command-Fn-F1 and Command-Fn-F2, but that did not help (it would not switch displays).Before trying to:
    reboot (by force a power off),
    reset SMC
    and/or reset PRAM/NVRAM
    What options do I have that do not loose my work?
    sleep-wake retina-macbook-pro battery

    Those keys do not reinstall OS X. To do that:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    COMMAND-OPTION-P-R keys resets the PRAM. OS X keyboard shortcuts.

    How can I STOP iTunes from automatically trying to add podcasts to my iPod when I plug it in and sync it, so I can manage the files? I have already unchecked "Sync Podcasts" and "Automatically include,"yet EVERY time I sync it,it still transfers podcasts as the last step, and at other times randomly, when trying to just add some MP3's to a playlist, for example.  I can't seem to find any other option to uncheck, and can't find an answer from my so-far internet searching.

    erict, you blew me away with that suggestion! It was something so simple I couldnt believe I hadnt thought of it! But in the end it didn't work, which I was really surprised about. On Windows anytime anything was moved itunes was hoplessly lost, but on this mac it still kept up with everything. I tried renaming folders, moving folders, and even renaming moved folders but it still kept trying to import.
    I even went as far as deleting EVERYTHING i had moved to the Mac, which didnt really work. It still kept trying to import what wasnt there which made it continue to freeze up. However, after doing this it, the freezing was not nearly as bad. It gave me enough of a break to cancel it through the itunes dialog box at the top of the app. So in the end, thats all I really needed to do, only before I had deleted everything the freezing would not allow me to do it.
    So now Im reimporting everything again, only slowly, and only a few Artists at a time.

    I want to back up an Iphone 3G and put all the content into Iphone 4. After I have backed up the Ipone 3G and then when Iphone 4 is connected to Itunes I do not get an Option to restore back up from Iphone 3G. The only devive is see in the drop down list is my Iphone 4. The IOS on Iphone 3G is 4.2.1 and on Iphone 4 is 4.1.
    Please share if anyone has any solution to such a problem.

    You will first have to update your iPhone 4 in order to restore it from the backup of your 3G. Follow the directions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    This is an erase/restore deal, so make sure all of your data is on your computer before you begin. iOS 6.1.2 will be installed on your iPhone 4.
    Once done, on your iPhone 4: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You'll now be able to restore your 3G backup to your iPhone 4.

    Hello Jamiem75
    If you have to restore, yes everything will be erased from your iPhone. If you have a backup, you can put that backup after the restore.
