"iTunes was unable to verify your device" after succesfully completing recovery mode on iPhone 4

I have an iPhone 4 which has never caused me any problems, until i updated to iOS7 it started lagging and battery didn't even last until midday (having it charged 100% in the morning!).
In just a few days it turned off automatically and wouldn't turn on. I googled and solved it by pushing the two buttons together for about 10 seconds. iPhone revived, and all the data was intact though many people states it would've been erased.
The morning after, using my iPhone more carefully not to have it crash again, it crashed. 10 seconds wouldn't do and I gave up, until the day after I found by surprise that the battery had run out and it finally showed some sign of not being completely dead!
I connected the cable to iTunes and pushed the Home button before connecting the iPhone and it entered Recovery mode. Recovery mode was completed and the iPhone had to restart to complete the process. While completing I get the error message "iTunes was unable to verify your device, please disconnect and reconnect your device". And from here I don't get anywhere, so I will probably visit Apple Store and ask what can be done, but if anyone has had the same problem please share any possible solution to this problem!

I had to contact Apple Store and make an appointment. They tried the last step suggested (which I had already tried three times) and stated that the memory had failed. They said it probably failed due to having some small issue already on the phone and then updating to a new iOS.
They could only offer me an exact copy of my iPhone but new for 149€.

  • "iTunes was unable to verify your device" error

    Hi,
    I have a first generation iPad that has been working just fine. I decided to give it away, and so I wiped it and set about restoring it to factory defaults.... except, now I keep getting the error "iTunes was unable to verify your device. Please disconnect and reconnect your device. If the error persists, see your local Apple store for assistance." Well, the error is persisting despite disconnecting, reconnecting, attempting to restore several times, attempting to use DFU mode, no matter what I do, I get this error. I did see in a different forum, someone said this suggests the iPad was jailbroken or hacked in some way. So, just for clarity here - this iPad was never running anything except standard iOS. Anyone have any ideas?

    Apple's activation servers are down at the moment.  Try again in a few hours (or even tomorrow).

    Dear Suport,
    when I upgraded to IOS 6,1,3 it gives me an error message "your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temp....." Try Again
    Regard
    Iyus

    Just for what it is worth - I am currently getting the same error "iTunes was unable to verify your device" when trying to restore my first-generation iPad. I restored it several times, even trying DFU mode - and each time, ultimately, I get the same message as the original poster in this thread. I have had this iPad since it was originally released, and have never run anything on it but standard iOS, I would not know how to begin jailbreaking or hacking an iPad anyway. It was working just fine yesterday. Then I decided to upgrade and to give this iPad to a friend, so I wanted to wipe it and restore. I wiped it, and now this. Very frustrating.

    Hi,
    We're getting this error when we try to build our Windows Phone packages
    Visual Studio was unable to verify your developer account. Either the store is unavailable . Either the store is unavailable or an unexpected network error has occurred
    Any idea?

    I am having the same problem.  The message I see when trying to Create App Packages, during the login process which is failing after I enter the texted security code is: "Visual studio was unable to verify your developer account. Either the store is
    unavailable or an unexpected network error has occurred."
    I can log in to the https://dev.windowsphone.com/ via the web browser just fine, and can see my dashboard, etc.  However, I'm completely blocked at this point because I can't build package for a new release

  • "Airport Utility was unable to find your Airport after restarting"

    Airport Express B has been working great for two years, and suddenly it can't be found in Airport Utility.
    When I hard reset it, and re-set it up again, I go through the whole procedure, using the Utility to write the new settings : "The settings for this Airport Express have been successfully updated...waiting for Airport Express to restart" and at that point nothing happens - the light stays continuously green, no restart, and shortly afterwards I get the failure message "Airport Utility was unable to find your Airport wireless device after restarting".
    I come out of Airport Utility, reopen it, and it can't find the Airport Express. Nothing. A £65 brick that has ceased to be, and this forum is full of people with similar problems. I've tried all of the fixes, including hard-wiring it using Ethernet, and again it goes through the whole procedure abut when trying to restart the AE, fails to find it.
    Are Apple making any response to these issues ?

    Thanks Martin - I can download it from the Apple website, according to this discussion :
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1085243&tstart=30
    My concern is that a) it may not work with an Intel MBP, and that it may break my Airport - totally. Could you let me know what you're running it on ?

  • Itunes was unable to load data class information from sync services -problem syncing iphone with itunes

    Hi I have windows 7 and itunes 11.1.1. I recently got a new iphone 5s and have tried to sync and the above message came up and itunes becomes non-reponsive. I tried my old iphone 3gs and the same thing happened. I have tried reinstalling itunes, installing a previous itunes version (although this did not work-again got another error message), tried to choose preferences to reset sync history but itunes becomes non-resonsive before I can do this. Have tried the other options in http://http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2690 but still not working...any ideas? Cant work my new iphone :-( Thanks

    A quick cursory browse seems to point that the problem is on Apples end since the last update of iTunes, theres loads of forum posts about it but Apple themselves arent responding as yet other then the usual "unplug, delete sync data, reconnect or completely uninstall iTunes" spiel which doesnt work so hopefully they will fix it sooner or later

  • Airport Utility was unable to find your Airport device after restarting.

    - I just updated the firmware on my base station (it a white dome?? i think snow?) to 5.7
    - I am running AirPort Utility 5.5.2 (also recently updated)
    - I have (3) AirPort Expresses (just updated firmware yesterday) and now are not being seen in the airport utility. They had been running for about two years just fine.
    I have done a hard reset and was then able to see the Airport Express and go through set up. Upon finalizing the set up I get this message:
    "Airport Utility was unable to find your Airport device after restarting."
    This is happening with all 3 AirPort Expresses

    Hello !
    I had the same kind of problems when I upgraded to the latest version of Airport (5,7).
    The Airport express seemed to have been disconnected, and nothing I could do to reconfigure it, after hard resetting it, seemed to be working.
    I did two or three hard resets before remembering having been in a situation like that a while ago.
    I went back to the Mini, **deactivated the firewall (in the "preferences" panel), then deactivated also the firewall of the Modem/router provided for my internet connection. Then I went in the other room and did another hard reset of the Airport express, came back in the mini's room, opened the Airport utility, the icon of the Airport express was already visible (which wasn't the case before... ), did the re-configuring.
    The reconfigured Airport express reappeared very quickly, then I reactivated the firewalls of the Mini and the router. Voilà !
    It took less than two minutes !
    And since then the Mini have been streaming music without a glitch to the Airport express.
    I hope this will help you and others !

  • Do not seem to be able to backup iPad via iTunes on to my PC. Message after connecting is "iTunes was unable to load class information from Sync Services, Reconnect or try later"  Have tried that but get the same result. Can anyone assist?

    Do not seem to be able to backup iPad via iTunes on to my PC.
    Message after connecting is "iTunes was unable to load class information from Sync Services, Reconnect or try later" 
    Have tried that but get the same result.
    Remedies I've tried are:
    wait and try again
    reboot
    reload iTunes
    NB hp is a relatively new machine and has previously backed up quite happily.
    Can anyone assist?

    RHoodnkt-
    Try rebooting the iPad.  Hold down both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  It takes a minute or two to restart.
    Also be sure your iPad battery is not completely discharged.

  • When I attempt to sych with I tunes I get the following Error Message.  "Itunes was unable to load data class information from synch services. Reconnect or try again later."  How do I fix this?  This started happening after I updated to the latest version

    When I attmpt to synch my Iphone I get the following error message.  "Itunes was unable to load data class informationfrom synch services.  Reconnect or try again later.  This started after I uddated to the latest version of Itunes. What should I do?

    My iPods are working fine...this is just on our iPhone 3GSs....friend said his iPhone 4 was working fine with upgrade. 
    Tried: the winsock reset, uninstall/re-install of iTunes, shut the firewall down.  Even called Apple...and after 2 hours of being told that "I'm savvy and have done everything they'd recommend" still with no fix...
    Still:  Takes over 2 minutes (not hooked up to phone) to open Edit-Preferences-Device...and can't find any backups?!?!  Takes over 2 minutes to even open the phone to change spps, musice, books, etc....but won't let me do anything with contacts...wonder if this is what that error message is about (because I don't actually sync to an email program, I've just kept it all on the phone - mistake).

  • "Airport Utility was unable to find your airport wireless device"

    I recently bought an Airport Extreme to replace a D-Link DGL4300. My network is as follows: DSL > Modem > Airport Extreme > Ethernet and Wireless clients (wireless clients include my iMac and my wife's MacBook). This worked fine for about 2 weeks, until my wife's MacBook started having connectivity issues. I did a soft reset on the Airport Extreme, and . . . poof. No internet for anyone. I did a hard reset and used the saved profile that had previously worked (for at least my computer), and after the Airport Extreme restarted, I received the dreaded "Airport Utility was unable to find your airport wireless device". I have repeated this cycle several times with complete power-downs of the modem, the Airport Extreme and all clients, with no change in result.
    What's odd is that even though Airport Utility can't find the Airport Extreme, my home network works fine (i.e., all clients can talk to an internal media server and each other), but there is no internet at all. Any ideas?

    "Airport Utility was unable to find your airport wireless device"
    Until you can complete the configuration process, try connecting your Mac to the AirPort Extreme with an Ethernet cable to see if that allows AirPort Utility to see the Extreme.
