More "error 1611" problems trying to update to v4.2

Apple may have nailed the user experience on their devices, but when it comes to problems, I'd say they have a long way to go. I've got 4 iPods Touch devices in my family. I am updating 1 of them to v4.2. I've completed a sync to the device (under v4.1) without any problems, as I always can. I download 4.2 for install later. I update to 4.2 and the device backs up. Sometime during the update process the thing throws me an error that says it is an "unknown error" and a code of 1611. I do a restore as directed. THAT errors out as a code 1611. I look up 1611 and it appears to be a code for a variety of USB errors. Apple then immediately begins saying that my computer is the issue. Well, I tell you what - I've got 3 GPS devices that I connect on a quarterly basis for 1.5 GB+ map updates. I've got 1 GPS that I connect daily for TomTom updates. I've got 2 Android phones and 1 Windows mobile phone that I connect frequently via USB. They all work. So I'm to believe that there is something magically wrong with my computer that only manifests itself with an Apple iPod? Please. I can put up with the closed ecosystem of Apple but the stuff better work in return. Now I get to try to restore on another machine, then go back and reinstall all the content. Thanks for making this an easy process Apple.

I am also getting error 1611 when trying to restore iphone 3gs. I tried contacting the iPhone Support in India and they told me that it indicates an Hardware issue. They also offered me a replacement for the same.
I tried this restore process anyways on 3 different laptops and on two of them it gave the error 1611 and one of them it gave error 28. Seems like, it is a hardware issue as the error codes are categorized in one category by an article released by Apple.
I dont quite know why apple does not come up with the solution to these error codes.

  • Error 1611 when trying to update software

    When I update my iPhone on my pc I am given the error 1611. I can update the phone on another computer but when I try to update on the same computer again it is impossible.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I have seen this problem before. Select only "Mac OS X 10.7.5" to install. I can see that OS X wants to install a 10.7.4 and a 10.7.5 update at the same time, so they can be in conflict and the installation may fail. After installing OS X 10.7.5, the 10.7.4 one shouldn't appear, so install the other updates

    Check USB connections
    Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • Error message when trying to update my world or anyof my applications

    I receive an error message when trying to update any of my applications.  Example  facebook, my world..etc...
    Error 40820 try later

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    While normally it is much more accurate to search with the accurate and complete error message, including all punctuation and error codes, in your case here is a KB that discusses that error:
    KB28188"BlackBerry App World is having trouble connecting to the BlackBerry App World server. Verify your network connections and try again. (Error id: 40820) " error is displayed when opening App World on the BlackBerry smartphone
    Hopefully it contains something useful! There also are multiple existing threads on this site that discuss that exact error...your review of those might prove useful, and a search of this site, using the error message, error code, or symptom, should reveal all applicable existing threads to you.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Macbook pro - iPhoto keep prompting to update after Yosemite update. Error message when trying to update -This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was cancelled

    macbook pro - iPhoto keep prompting to update after Yosemite update. Error message when trying to update -This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. 

    I only have 1 apple ID and the same was used to set up this early 2011 macbook pro and iPhoto app. I don't want to loose out on any photos. I tried logging out of app store and back in but no luck. PLEEAASEE HELPP!!!
    This problem has been reported by quite a few forum members, who skipped the update to iPhoto 9.5.1 while running Mavericks. In that case try to purchase iPhoto again instead of updating.
    After making your backup try the following:
    Uninstall iPhoto by deleting it from the applications folder, but do not empty the Trash.
    Launch the App Store, click the "Store" menu, and sign in with your AppleID.
    Open the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto.
    If iPhoto is listed as "Free", click the "Free" button to buy it with your current AppleID.
    If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support, as Niel pointed out: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

  • Keep getting error 4002 when trying to update Genius

    I haven't seen anyone write about getting error 4002 when trying to update genius in itunes. I select update genius and it gathers information and sends it to the itunes store I assume. And then waits a few seconds and then I get the following message "Genius results can't be updated right now. An unknown error occurred (4002) Please try again later." I've been getting this message for well over a month and I keep hoping they'll be an update or somehow it will magically be fixed, but nothing has changed. Anyone have any insight on this one?
    The current ituned library it 123GB and is stored on external drives. It should also be noted that when I first turned on genius when it was released it went through this whole problem without a hitch. I just can't update Genius with any of the music I've added since then. I can't even get genius to recognize music that I got from the itunes store since I've had the problem.

    Be careful - this was a disaster for me. Once I did this, I got a different error - an error 4010 and in trying to recover, caused a lot of library issues that forced me to go to a backup to fix. You'll find a lot of people having the 4010 problem. Basically iTunes Genius is a disaster and Apple isn't fixing it.

    Another topic is talking about this. The is an Apple server problem and not a problem with your iPhone or local iTunes environment.

    Try signing out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again and see if that works for you.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap your ID and sign out.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Sign in again -Settings>Store>Apple ID - sign in.
    If that doesn't work either, reset your iPad and see if that helps.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
