ITunes keeps telling me to restore my iphone

Every time I plug my iPhone into my laptop to try and add songs etc., it tells me there is an error and that I have to restore my phone.
I've restored my phone at least 6 times the other week when I plugged it in, and it first happened. I plugged it in for the first time since earlier, and it said the same thing again. I keep losing everything in the meantime - photos, texts etc and I don't want to do it again.
Any ideas why this keeps happening? What it might be? or what I can do?

If the steps in the article TJBUSMC1973 linked didn't resolve your issue, then the next step would be to have your phone serviced at an Apple store. Good luck

ITunes keeps telling me the restore (after upgrading to iOS 5) has been interrupted.

I am trying to upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.
As my MacPro is still running Snow Leopard, I decided NOT to sync with iCloud but rather with iTunes.
Every time I connect the iPhone, iTunes tells me the restore has been interrupted and offers to resume backup.
When I do, it starts restoring, restarts the iPhone and then I get same message.... over and over again.

Did you try to use another USB cable or USB port?
If you would be on a PC, I would also suggest to check the security software settings, but on a Mac there is usually no 3rd party AV software installed.
Any other USB devices connected during the update process, besides keyboard and mouse?
Maybe you should consider to remove and reinstall iTunes, if changing the USB port or cable does not help.

I06 update keeps prompting me to restore my iPhone and has deleted everything from my phone. Please help

Please help. While trying to upgrade to the i06 it keeps prompting me to restore over and over

Maybe here:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .

Itunes keeps telling me to restore my ipod to factory settings.

So I logged on to my computer this evening, and the iTunes icon was gone, so I used Search from the start menu found it and opened my library, When I did there was no music in it even though I have 103 songs, so I plugged in my ipod so that I could copy the songs on it to itunes and it opened saying I need to restore it. So I did and then it opened up the same thing over and over again.
So now I can't access any music on my ipod. Please help!

Is this a sony vaio?
There is some Sony media management software that causes a conflict with itunes saving its library database file.

Help! Itunes keeps telling me to restore my Ipod

I plugged my ipod touch 4th gen into itunes and it asked me if i wanted to install the newest itunes so i said yes and it said it would take 10 minutes so when i came back it told me i needed to restore my ipod to use itunes. I really don't want to though because i don't want to lose all my photos/apps and music. on my ipod screen it has a picture of the itunes logo and the cord i tried turning it on and off again but it still stays on that screen. Is there anything i can do? And if i have to restore will it remove all my data?
Thanks

Was it jail broken?
If no:
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)
Do a disk check on your computer harddisk.
When syncing, maybe your anti-virus or anti-something is corrupting your backup. Switch that off as well as your firewall before you sync.

Help!!!! My iTunes keeps saying my card has been declined and won't accept my card details

Help,,,,,!!
This evening my iTunes account decided that there was an issue with a previous item I'd downloaded and made me go to my account to re-enter my bank info as it was 'apparently' invalid and not accepted.
Has anyone else had this? I have tried re-entering my bank info about 5 times and still every time it keeps saying payment method declined.
There is nothing wrong with the card as I have made other purchases with that card online today.
This is my only bank card so cannot use another one and now have outstanding stuff to pay for on iTunes!.?!
Can anyone help me!!!!!!

It's not a debit card, is it? The iTunes Store apparently no longer accepts debit cards. The current valid payment methods are listed here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5552
If it is a debit card, you can try contacting the iTunes Store and asking if there is any way to use your card, but they probably will tell you that it's not possible.
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
If it's a true credit card, make sure the billing information you're entering matches the billing information on your card statement exactly. If you're certain that it does, contact the iTunes Store and request assistance.
Regards.
