  • When I connect my iPhone 4S to my MacBook Pro, the synchronization process by iTunes failed with the following message "My iPhone could not be synchronized, because the synchronization process has not started". What does that mean?

    Hello,
    When I connect my iPhone 4S to my MacBook Pro (through the USB port), the synchronization process by iTunes failed with the following message "My iPhone could not be synchronized, because the synchronization process has not started".
    What does that mean?
    Thanks in advance for fixing my problem.

    I think I remember hearing that if you quit iTunes with your device still connected, then open iTunes up again, it should work.
    EDIT: Here, this might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567

  • TS1398 my problem is my iphone 4s is connected to the internet(wi-fi) with full signal strength but freezes when browsing and says "Cannot Open Page, Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding".

    my problem is my iphone 4s is connected to wi-fi with full signal(3 bars) strength but freezes when browsing and says
    "Cannot Open Page"
    "Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding"
    I already reset the iphone to its factory settings and erase all contents but still the browsing speed freezes or not searching at all. Sometimes it will work and fast but then the problem uccors every now and then. Iv'e been using iphone 4 for two years and I still have it and works fine compared to this IPHONE 4S.

    Settings → scroll down to Safari → in Safari settings, I selected both Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
    IF that does not work -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Finally - if problem still present -
    Go to Settings>General>Reset
         Reset the network settings - you will need to add the password of your home WiFi in your phone once more
    The device should turn itself off & back on then go into Settings>Wifi and join your network

    Typically this indicates a device that has been hacked to be unlocked or jailbroken.
    If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

    Your IPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. I have been to Telstra store 3 times and into the Mac Pro store where i am today

    That is almost always because the phone was hacked to unlock it from the original carrier.

    Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.  If that is the case, no support can be provided here.
    The other possible issue is a device running the iOS7 Beta.  If that is the case, and you are a developer, sign into the developers forums for assistance.  If that is the case and you are not a developer, try google.

  • Got a new computer now I'm getting a new error "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it?"

    So i got a new computer and before i did i backed up al my music onto an external hard drive. I downloaded itunes and went to put my music back on and when I unplug my hard drive i get this message "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found.  Would you like to locate it?". I have close to 3500 songs so its a little annoying that i cant update or sync my ipod/iphone. Are there any tips or tricks you could help me with in order to fix this problem

    Here is the folder hierarchy of my /Home/Music/folder:

    I have tried connecting to itunes and activating it but it still did not work.

    I just did a DFU restore and tried to activate the new phone again over WiFi and it's worked now.
    To be completely sure whether it was the DFU restore or not I've just tried to activate the old phone (also a 4S, exactly the same model) whilst plugged into iTunes.
    That failed. 
    So I tried again with the old non-DFU'd 4S over WiFi without the cable (to remove itunes/computer/internal networking from the equation) and that also failed.
    I'd say it's fair to assume that the DFU at least helped in this case - I also noticed that the graphics when you're selecting the language/location were slightly different (showed a world map) after the DFU.

  • HT201210 I am stuck with "The iPad could not be restored because the firmware file was corrupt" message.

    Hi
    I have an iPad mini and it was on iOS 6.1.3, my friend came and he said that he knows how to install iOS 7 for me. I gave it to him and he tried to install it, but apparently he failed to do so and an "Activation Error" is appearing on the screen now asking me to register in the developers program.
    Now, we are trying to restore it back to iOS 6.1.3 using iTunes, the software downloads well and it starts restoring but that I keep getting this error message "The iPad could not be restored because the firmware file was corrupt.".
    I am sure that the file is not corrupted because it's downloaded via iTunes regular download and it's not from an outside source.
    I am stuck with this now and my iPad is useless this way.
    Please any suggestions ?

    Yes, don't download Beta Software that you have no business or legal right to download and quit taking bad advice from friends.
    Now to maybe get you out of the restoring jam, the only thing that I can think of that might work is to use recovery mode, unless you already tried it and it didn't work.
    You can read about it here, but the instructions are posted below.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.

  • Error msg when I compact: The folder 'Inbox' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify you have enough disk space, and have write privileg

    I recently had my computer serviced. I re-downloaded Thunderbird (getting a newer version), and retrieved my saved email. Now, Thunderbird keeps asking me to compact, but when I do, I get this error message:
    The folder 'Inbox' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.
    Obviously, since I'm getting mail all the time, I have write privileges, and disk space. The question is whether there's a setting I need to specify, or whether Thunderbird is writing to a special partition that may have gotten write-protected when my computer was in the hospital - or whether this is related to a known bug.
    All help appreciated.

    The only know bug I can see is probably your anti virus is trying to scan the file when the new inbox is created leaving Thunderbird to think the file was not created.
    As an experimental / diagnostic process. Restart the machine in safe mode with networking using Microsoft instructions for [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7] then try the compact. If it works I was most likely right. If it does not, another idea must surface.

  • How to configure my 3gs iphone? it says your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable...... :(

    how to configure my 3gs iphone? it says your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable......
    i live in iran. this 3gs was a gift from america .. it contains NOTHING. i can do nothing with it. it cannot be updated cuz the version is low. i dunno what t do please help.

    Possible causes:
    1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
    2. Your phone is jailbroken.
    3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
    4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
    5. The phone was reported stolen. If it was it can never be activated again.
    For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
    For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.
