Note : his Hosts file don't conatin any link related to apple ( default hosts file) also he is using latest update of iTunes

Unusual iTunes problem when restoring iOS firmware(s).

As the topic says, I am having a very strange issue with iTunes and restoring iOS to not only my iPad, but also to my iPod Touch 2nd Gen. So far the only way I have been able to remedy the problem seems to be manually removing iTunes and all API's and/or Frameworks via Terminal; and then re-installing iTunes. For the last several months I have been using iTunes 10.1.1/2 and when I've had to restore my iPad, I have ran into the following problem:
I put my device info DFU Mode to update and here is what happens, it extracts the software as usual and proceeds to restore. It gets nearly to the end of the restore, approximately 97-98% in iTunes, just before the Verifying Restore phase. And it simply hangs there, I have let the device sit for 10+ minutes and does not move. As I said, the only way I can fix it is to completely remove iTunes and re-install. And here is where things get even stranger yet.
A day after I had previously restored, I had to restore again because the iPad AppStore would not open properly on my iPad, and also on the previous day I had uninstalled/re-installed iTunes. And the hanging problem once again occurred, I am not sure why, _*but it seems like every time I restart*_ my MacBook Pro something in iTunes becomes corrupted for some reason and the only way to resolve the issue is a(n) uninstall/reinstall of iTunes.
If anyone has anything to add to help with, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

From iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, and 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

Try this first - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Are you trying to use the phone in Bahrain with a supported carrier there? I suspect not. If you try to use this phone outside of Bahrain, you won't have FaceTime. This is done to prevent folks from simply crossing the border to purchase iPhones in Bahrain...FaceTime is banned in Saudi Arabia & the UAE. Sorry, but you'll only have FaceTime on that phone while using it in Bahrain on a supported carrier's network there.

HT201335 Since I updated iOS on my iphon4s and iPad mini i cant get mirroring to work via vga cable

Since I updated iOS on my iphon4s and iPad mini i cant get mirroring via my vga-cabel to my smartboard projector to word anymore. I used to be able to swipe right twice to chose mirroring via my Apple cable. Why doesn't it work anymore?
All the threads I can find on the subject talks about using appletv but I need to connect via cable! It used to work (before ios7).
Sincerely Bent F

The article from which the issue was posted clearly explains how to access AirPlay in iOS7.
Granted, what is being attempted has nothing to do with AirPlay or Mirroring.
The feature that you're looking for is in Control Center... assuming the cable actually works. If it does not work, the feature will not be accessible.

I Have a problem after i make a purchase on my ipad mini

<Re-Titled By Host>

What happens when you try to do the purchase, if you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If it's a different problem ... ?

Try shutting off by holding down the home and power button at the same time. Once turned back on you can try downloading again. Be sure you have at least 50% of battery life before starting.

The video sound faster than video ipad mini, this happen when I download the iOS 7.1 to my iPad mini, how can I fix that? Or just wait till Mac release a new version update, also some game and apps doesn't open or when open they close, please help!!!

Start by closing all apps and resetting your iPad and see if that helps with any of your issues.
To close an app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it. Close all of the apps on the iPad this way.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Unable to download iOS 8.0.2 on iPad mini

hi, this is the first time I've posted so let me know if I'm missing anything Please...
when i I try to download iOS 8.0.2 I tap agree to terms and conditions and nothing happens, I then can't even press disagree so I have to just close that page manually or I can't get out of it. I see that other people have had this problem, I have tried two suggestions in the forum; turning off and on again, and, resetting all settings, neither worked. I contacted the apple support online but they wanted me to purchase the support (I don't want to pay when their product won't download their update) so I'm hoping someone can help me here please.
thank you
