  • IPhone 3GS stopped showing up in iTunes 11.1.3 Mac OS X 10.7.5

    My iPhone 3GS non longer shows up as a device in iTunes 11.1.3 on my Mac OS X 10.7.5 machine. The only warning was that the last time it was connected I got a message that it could not backup the device. I was still able to sync. Ever since then I have been able to get the iPhone to connect. I experienced the same thing with my iPod Touch 4 with the latest OS. Both devices are still recognized by Dropbox when I connect them, though that is the only place they show up.

    Hello soapysmith,

  • PLEASE HELP iPhone 4s wont restore despite every fix error 29/21

    Hi all,
    I thought I was being clever telling a mate at work Id be able to fix his 4s after he tried to upgrade to ios7 and it basically bricked. when on it shows the cable and world symbol and nothing else.
    what ive done so far:
    entered dfu and tried to restore numerous different firmwares including the latest but no luck. I will say that restoring on itunes to latest firmware gets 99% there before failing error 29 (sometimes 21).
    edited hosts file in terminal to remove the gs.apple file. does nothing
    downloaded tiny umbrella to remove cydia thingy but its not highlighted anyway
    exited itunes before doing any host file edits and rebooted.
    if i don't edit hosts file i dont get an error code i get 'requested build cannot be done' message
    phone is currently useless but i cant understand why i cant boot an earlier firmware to get it out of this loop of failure??
    any help in non tech terms would be gratefully received other than 'chuck it away and buy another' - this MUST BE FIXABLE
    Kris

    No jailbreak. all of the online 'fixes' related to installing tiny umbrella to exit the restore mode and unchecking a Cydia (whatever that is) is one of the main points. I was just suggesting it doesn't work.
    I Assume u work for apple based on the fact you would care about a jailbroken phone (I can't imagine it bothers anyone else) so perhaps you could look into this fault? I have read about a battery fault issue but I can't see how one day on iOS 6 it works and then on attempting to install 7 it's now a battery fault? Makes no sense. Thanks

  • HELP-iPhone isn't showing up in iTunes

    So I set up my iPhone and everything yesterday. . .I downloaded the newest iTunes, but each time I even try connecting iTunes to the iStore, it says iTunes cannot connect to the iTunes store, unknown error occured (-3221), make sure your networ connection is secured. . .- -Well, my connection is secured and I've checked everything I could think of, but I still can't access the iStore from iTunes.
    Another problem, my iPhone isn't even showing up in my iTunes. I had to use a seperate computer to even set up my iPhone. . .HELP! ! !

    Just yesterday, I was getting the iTunes cannot connect message... it's happened prior to the iPhone..it just happens from time to time... I guess sometimes it just has some kind of connection error with the server. Nothing to be concerned about..that's on their side..not yours!

  • Help upgraded 3GS wont register with latest itunes error 1601 occurred

    hope one of you lovely lot can help me out.
    I receieved my upgraded iphone on friday and so far have been unable to register it. I plug it into laptop and it asks me to update itunes/phone software, during the install i get a hardware error message "the software you are installing for this hardware DVD/CD has not passed windows logo testing" and will not be installed properly.
    It then continues to install but advises its not complete.
    The phone then wants to restore and i get another error message "the phone could not be restored an unknown error occurred 1601"
    I have searched the web and tried all sorts to resolve it uninstalling itunes and reinstalling, manual restore with the buttons on the phone, i have also tried on another PC and i get the same problem on both!!!! and to top it off im not the only one with this issue in our household my boyfriend's iphone was working fine until the latest itunes came out and his phone also went into restore mode with the same error message, we some how managed to get his phone working but only by syncing it with another pc however he has lost all his contacts apps and data.
    sorry for rambling on but i have tried to include all of the issues in the hope someone can help me.
    cheers in advance! x

    The above post has nothing to do with error 1601 and includes hacking methods for jailbroken phones - to "restore with the new custom firmware you created."

    Please stop altering the fonts, it makes reading postings extremely difficult.  If help is desired, making postings difficult to read is not the way to get help.
    Put the device in DFU mode (google it), then restore.

    - Have you tried the troubleshooting here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - You can try disabling the camer notification

    - Do you have any camera, scanner or similar software installed?  That may prevent iTunes from seeing the iPod.
