ITunes was interrupted while restoring... iOS4.2.1

I have had a set of problems with my iPhone 3G upgrading to iOS4.2.1 but now all appears to be working fine today.
Now however when I plug my iPhone into my iMac I keep getting the message:
"iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPhone "XXXXX". Would you like to restore this iPhone again? Cancel Delete Backup Continue Restore"
I keep selecting Cancel as it appears to be working.
How can I stop iTunes for displaying this message EVERYTIME I connect my iPhone?

thanks nick101 - there doesn't appear to be any antivirus programs running.
Tried a third MacBook, which recognized there was an upgrade for the iPhone to 4.2, downloaded it and then when appearing to be done went right back into the Restore loop - back to brick one..
Any other ideas?
thanks

Everytime I connect to iTunes the message ' iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPhone. would you like to restore the phone again now? With the options cancel, continue restore and delete back-up??

I upgraded to iOS 5 on my 3GS without any issues but now everytime I connect to iTunes the message ' iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPhone. would you like to restore the phone again now? with the options of cancel, continue restore and delete back-up. what happens if i click delete back up?

I'm not getting the message anymore!
What I did:
1.- Went to preferences in itunes/ Devices --> erased the corrupted backup (there were two backups)
2.- Upgraded to iOS 5.0.1
Done!
PS: Maybe upgrading solves the problem without erasing the corrupted backup

ITunes was interrupted whilst restoring... iOS4

I have had a major set of problems with my iPhone 3G upgrade to iOS4 but I left it last night and all appears to be working fine today.
Now however when I plug my iPhone into my MacBook I keep getting the message:
"iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPhone "XXXXX". Would you like to restore this iPhone again? [Cancel] [Delete Backup] [Continue Restore]"
I keep selecting [Cancel] as it appears to be working.
How can I stop iTunes for displaying this message EVERYTIME I connect my iPhone?

Having the exact same issues here. I'm hesitant to just hit the delete backup button because I fear it may delete everything on my phone again. I am using the most current version of iTunes with a 3G 16 gig iPhone.
I had many problems updating to iOS4, but after nearly a day of re-updating it finally went through, but wiped my iPhone clean. I hit the restore from backup button and everything seemed to restore normally but I had a message on my computer that iTunes was unable to restore the iPhone. Now, every time I plug my iPhone in I get the message "iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of iPhone". If I hit cancel, I seem to be able to sync my iPhone just fine, but I get this message every time I plug the iPhone in and I can't seem to back it up.
This seems to be a problem affecting many of us 3G users. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

IOS 5 seems to work, but when I connect the ipad to my macbook, i get the message that itunes was interrupted when restoring. I try to restore again and I get the message "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-50)." What should I do?

iOS 5 seems to work on my ipad, but apparently something went wrong when restoring. I lost music and movies, and when I connect the ipad to my macbook, I get the message that itunes was interrupted when restoring. I try to restore again and I get the message "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-50)." What happened and what should I do?

I have had the same issue since day 1 of the ios5 installation. I always hit "Cancel" and then the iPad eventually shows up again in iTunes. Then a few hours later, I get the same message again. Annoying, but I've not found a way around it.

After iPad ios 5 upgrade, itunes "interrupted while restoring" restore gets error -50. iPad starts in 'configure' mode - can I configure as 'New iPad' and then restore?

After iPad ios 5 upgrade on Win7 64bit pc (x386 iTunes), iTunes gave me error "iTunes was interrupted while restoring, restore again now?" I try to restore but iTunes immediately gives error -50. Apple website says -50 is a timeout, but I have tried all fixes: changed usb ports, new cable, reset iPad, restart pc, remove sim... no good.
iPad starts in 'configure' mode, but won't restore from any of the several iTunes backups I have. Ready to giveup on 'restore'! iPad is sync'ed in iTunes, connects and syncs ok, so I don't want to lose that info.
Can someone from Apple advise - can I 'configure' as 'New iPad' and then restore or sync to recover my Apps and data etc? OR if I 'Restore' from iTunes 'Summary' tab, will I still be able to Sync to restore the iPad Apps and data?
I'm seeing a lot of frustrated Apple users online, hoping that a fix for this problem will help a few of us!! An iOS upgrade should not cause this much pain and wasted effort.

You might already have tried all of these, but just in case:
1. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes.
2. If you're on a Windows PC, consider uninstalling iTunes and Quicktime, restarting the PC, then reinstalling. This sometimes fixes oddities.
3. Make sure you have no firewall or anti-virus running/active.
4. Try different USB cable; if you're using a cable via a hub, try connecting without the hub. On desktop PCs, the direct (non-internal-hub) USB sockets are usually at the back.
5. If yoiu haven't already done so, download the iOS5 update via the direct links I posted above
6. If using Update doesn't work, use Restore. Option-click (Mac) or Shift-Click (Windows) the Restore button in itunes.
7. Before you to the Restore, right-lick the entry for your device in iTunes and choose Backup from the drop-down menu. You may need this backup later.
If you're srtuck in recovery mode:

- If your device is stuck in Recovery mode, you can try putting it into DFU mode, from which iTunes should be able to Restore, as above. Details here:

The connection to complaints.donotcall.gov was interrupted while the page was loading." All other pages load okay. Everything loads perfectly on I/E 8

When logging on to the "do not call website" to file a complaint I get the following message "The connection to complaints.donotcall.gov was interrupted while the page was loading." All other pages load okay. Everything loads perfectly on I/E 8.
I have started Firefox in the safe mode and got the same results.
Turned off firewall and virus programs, no help. I have 2 new computers about 2 years old both have the same problem with ver. 12.0

Try to rename the cert8.db file in the Firefox profile folder to cert8.db.old or delete the cert8.db file to remove intermediate certificates that Firefox has stored.
If that helped to solve the problem then you can remove the renamed cert8.db.old file.<br />
Otherwise you can rename (or copy) the cert8.db.old file to cert8.db to restore the previous intermediate certificates.<br />
Firefox will automatically store intermediate certificates when you visit websites that send such a certificate.

Itunes error (-1) while restoring atv2

Every time I try to restore my apple tv 2 gen I receive the message "error (-1)"
Sometimes I get another error - 3014.
My atv is in recovery mode with usb cable and itunes logo on screen.
What I can do now?

In your scenario, probably you have to put your 4S in DFU mode (Device Firmware Upgrade) instead of restore (recovery mode)
DFU mode is a little different, to put your device into DFU with the iTunes icon with that cord on your screen,
Prerequisites:
Charge your battery to a decent percentage, I'd say 90% at least
Get build 9A406
IMPORTANT: USE A USB PORT THAT'S working constantly, NOT one that undetects-redetects your device constantly, a malfunctioning USB used to upgrade your iPhone may brick it.
Make sure if your computer is a laptop, it isn't going to shut down anytime
Working internet
If your computer has the 9A405 firmware, delete it. in windows 7, its in a hidden folder (c: username->appdata->roaming->apple computer->iTunes->iPhone Software updates)
Steps to upgrade your firmware to the later build
When everything's ready, connect your iPhone to your USB
Hold power button and home button for 10-11 seconds
Hold on to home button but let go power - another 10 seconds so 20 seconds in total for step 2 and 3
iTunes should say something like "an iPhone is detected to be in DFU.... please restore your iPhone bla bla bla"
If you placed your firmware on a custom location, hit shift+restore button on iTunes, if not, just restore.
DFU mode will allow your computer to override your firmware on your iPhone
Restore mode means does nothing to your firmware, just deleting and resetting all settings and putting everything in place.

Does it help?
I googled and this article on the web might help you.

Internet was interrupted while installing yosemite

I was installing Yosemite at my school, which was a mjsgake because the Internet will automatically log you out sometimes. Currently, my laptop is sitting with an apple logo and a progress bar underneath with no progress... Not even after 6 hours and restarting it a few times. Im at home and my laptop should recognize my internet but it's not working still.

Hey meady555,
If you are having an issue with your Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) installer download being interrupted and failing to resume, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,

My Digital Copy download (of the Lord of the Rings) on iTunes was interrupted and now will not re-download. How do I download my movie, or who do I contact to help me fix this issue?

I downloaded a digital copy of the Lord of the Rings' and during the downland, iTunes quit. When I restarted iTunes the download was gone; when I tried to reenter the digital copy redemption code it said it has already been used. How do I get my digital copy of LotR back? I lost all three movies in the series (as they were downloading simultaneously) and I would really love to have them on my Mac.

thankyou. THANK you.
thankyouthankyouthankyou!
sorry about no screenie but the first option worked (at least so far!)

ITunes error -1 when restoring iPhone from backup after iOS5 update

If no one can help me fix this hopefully somebody might at least be able to tell me what -1 error means!
I have an iPhone 3GS and before i updated to iOS5 i upgraded my itunes on my Mac and synced and backed up everything. I did the iOS5 update which went fine and i have it installed on my phone. When i went to restore from backup it looked like it was working for 2mins then it comes up with the error message saying unable to restore from backup (-1). I have done this a good few times now all with the same result. Any suggestions? Everything has been completely wiped from my phone and im desperate to get it all back.

yeah mine is back to this
iTunes was interrupted while restoring the contents of the iPhone “xxxxxxxxx'x ' iPhone”. Would you like to restore this iPhone again now?

IOS5 Update - An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade my iPhones and iPad. My iPhone 4 update went well, but I can't get my iPad to restore afer upgrade. I keep getting the iTunes message "An error occoured while restoring this iPad (-1)". This happens after the restore is about half done. I did retry a few times, but without success.
After confirming the first error iTunes shows "iTunes was interruped while restoring the content of the iPad "...". Would you like to restore this iPad again now?" and is offering to restart or to delete the backup.
The iPad still boots up and does not seem bricked, but I fear all apps and other data is gone. However, I did do a successful "transfer all purchases" just before the iOS update and i have backups of my musik and pictures.
Does anyone know whats going on and how to resolve this without late surprises?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Gerhard

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!
But my iPad is completely bricked. I had previously updated my iPhone 4.
I went to the Apple Store last night and they informed me that the firmware in the update might have affected the hardware. Being that my warranty had run out 100 days ago they couldn't help me. I couldn't believe they were telling me this. Naturally if I had known the update would have destroyed my iPad, I wouldn't have installed it.
I think they are handling this update on older iPads awfully.

The iTunesSetup.exe was interrupted.

what do i do when this comes up after my download freezes after 99%????? im running windows vista SP2 and i have IE9??

Hi Romano!
Answer to your question.
1. My computer operating system is Windows 8.1K, 64 bit.
2. I purchased my AdobePremierElements11 in July 2, 2013. I have serial number.
3. When I re-installing the AdovePremiereElemments, It was removed automatically.
So there is no the program in the Control Panel/Programs. I checked back directly.
4. My computer was not infected with a virus.
5. In the Local Disk (C:)\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\
There is no folder name of the OOBE and OLDOOBE.
Suspicious circumstances.
I tried to install the AdobePremierElements11.
I entered my information( name, country, serial number)
and I started the installation.
But since about 85% proceeded the installation program stopped and computer can't seem to installation.
I had to reboot the computer.
and I have tried to install.
Strangely, my costomer information( name, country, serial number) came floating up in the 'IstallShield Wizard Pop-up Window', even though I do not enter my information.
When I click Next button to continue 'IstallShield Wizard Pop-up Window' say "IstallShield Wizard Completed and The installation wizard was interrupted while installing Adobe Premiere Elements 11. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again. Click Finish to exit the wizard."
So I and finished.
As a result, I could not install the program.
That's all.
Please help me.
Thank you
