TRy to close itunes by double tapping the home button then slide up all of the open apps and try again.
another option is to turn off your ipad, logout from your itunes account and try again downloading the movie. If it still gives you error, call apple support and ask for itunes agent to see if there is something wrong with the movie you are trying to download

HT201272 I purchased a game, and it has frozen half way through.

It is a simple game, Element 4and it has stopped working, frozen with no options to restart.

Perform a Reset...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

My iPhone 3Gs has frozen and I can't do anything except turn it off by hard boot. When I plug it in, I have the apple icon and that is all. It was at 43 percent battery life when it happened and my Twitter app was giving me problems. Thoughts?

I've downloaded the ios7 to my iphone but it didn't verify so I connected my iphone to itunes and updated it .. it's now stuck half way through saying 'updating iphone software' it's been like that for 40 mins .. should I be worried?

I've downloaded the ios7 software to my iphone but it didn't let me install it over air so I connected my iphone to itunes and updated it .. it's now stuck half way through saying 'updating iphone software' it's been like that for 40 mins .. should I be worried?

I imagine a ton of people are attempting to activate after the update, and the server is getting overloaded. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

BF tried to update to ios6 on iphone 4 but crashed half way through saying it needed to plugged into iTunes and then restored so after it was 'restoring' he had an error message come up say to couldn't be restored....what should be do next?

Spent hours trying everything suggested and finally this morning hit on a solution. iTunes must be run as an administrator. Even though you are logged into your PC as an administrator, using the iTunes shortcut does not make you an administrator in iTunes. I found this out by using the diagnostics in iTunes and reading through the results report.
I am using Windows 7, so I clicked the start button and right clicked on iTunes and selected "Run as an adimistrator". The first restore attempt got the 4013 error. I then did the DFU thing, hold power and home buttons for 10 seconds, release power and continue holding home for 10 more seconds.
iTunes gave me the restore message and I clicked it. I clicked the restore iPhone button and it started. The drivers loaded a couple of times. I got the apple logo with the progress bar and this time instead of disappearing, it started to fill in.
End result, a successful restore to factory settings and a happy 14 year old.
Hope this helps others.

Half way through an update the phone crashed and now needs restoring. Is there anyway I can restore without losing my data on it?

Half way through updating my software I experienced an error and now advises that I need to restore my iphone. On the front of the screen the itunes symbol showing the charger needs to be plugged in. Is there any way in which I can access my photos and music that is/was on the phone?

In recovery mode, all the data on iPhone is gone.
After recovery you can try restore from backup if there's one.

My Iphone 3gs has frozen-help me please ??

Hi there,
I'm new to the site;
And I'm in despair.My Iphone isn't jailbroken or anything like that. So this is how it begins;
I downloaded the alarm clock app on my Iphone 3gs on Tuesday evening, so I could set my alarm for the following morning, it downloaded fine. I woke up the following morning to the phone vibrating twice every 5 seconds or so and the phone was frozen on the passcode screen.
I have tried the home button/sleep button reset to no avail.
I have tried tried connecting it to itunes and doing the restore-i click the restore button but it only ends up updating which then fails due to the 3259 error code?!
I have tried doing this in the recovery mode but it still doesn't work.
I have tried searching endlessley on both google and youtube for hopeful fixes but I am beginning to loose hope?!
I have only had the Iphone two weeks as my cousin's contract expired, so I bought it off her.
If anyone could help me I would be very grateful,
Thankyou.

Either you need to update iTunes on your computer to the current version or you have firewall software that is not allowing iTunes to connect to the activation server.

My iphone 3Gs has gone into recovery mode after updating via itunes..help..

I plugged my iphone 3gs into itunes yesterday and it started to update the software - presumabley to 10.5? - came back to it an hour later and it was displaying an image of a usb cable and itunes symbol which i now undertand means its gone into recovery mode.
I tried to restore it to the factory settings as advised but it won't work. Its telling me "This device could not be restored, it is not eligible for the requested build"
Please help - this phone is not jailbroken!

Ok, after 2 nights searching forums and trying different things I have managed to find a solution. I had to add a '# ' at the begining of the host directory. This means nothing to me and I had to follow the steps in the following link but it worked perfectly -

IPhone got half way through ios6 update and stopped working...

I was half through updating my iPhone when it suddenly stopped and then keeps putting it itself into revovery mode, turning itself off and every so often a yellow screen appears. Help!!

I would perform a DFU Mode Restore of iPhone on computer with iTunes.
Here are the steps. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release the power button, keep holding the home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually about 20 seconds of holding home button. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. DFU Mode is sometimes difficult to get. So keep trying the steps until you get it. DFU mode is iTunes saying iPhone in Recovery Mode except screen is black, blank.
