Problems with iPhone 3G Activation , Error Message (-50), Need HELP!!!!!!!!

Hi,
I bought the iphone 3G yesterday through Virgin Mobile. I was told to activate my iphone I need to sync it with iTunes.
I plugged in my iPhone and it try to sync for a while then an error message pops up. (*We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occured. (-50).There was an error in iTumes store. Please try again later*.)
I've tried several things, reinstalling iTunes, change the options in my internet browser (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120122 Firefox/3.0.5), turn off my anti-virus software. But the problem still occur.
I can access iTunes store and my playlists etc, but when I click on Sign-in and then click on create new account the same error message pops up again.
I've tried to run diagnostics on iTumes. It says that secure link to iTunes store failed. I've passed all connectivity and sync test. Below is the details,

No need to SHOUT. The cable is the one used to connect your iPhone to your PC. Suggest getting another one.
The problem may be that you're using USB to connect to the internet. It's too slow and will cause problems when you have other high speed USB connections. Use an Ethernet connection to your modem/router. For additional troubleshooting, see these Apple support articles:

    Same problem here with and I've done everything shy of a total reset which I also find unacceptable. This problem exists on all iMessage platforms (iPhone, iPad, and Mac) so I don't see how restoring my iPhone would help the problem.

  • Problem with file opening and error message

    Hi there,
    In CP 7, I am having a problem opening a file adn was wondering if anyone else has had this and whether the file was recoverd effectively or at all...
    See message below
    Cheers
    Rossdo

    Are you trying to open a CP8 file in CP7? If you are facing the problem with CP7 file itself, first thing you need to do is check whether you got any .lck file (lock file) in the source file folder, which indicates that the file was opened and not closed properly.

  • Media center problem with Qosmio G35-650 - error message

    hello all
    I have a problem with media center on qosmio g35-650.
    When starting live tv , an error message appears and writes "application failure please restart your computer again. if problem persists again please contact with your hardware assistance"
    It was working yesterday and today something happened.
    Also it cant find any tv signal available. Is it a hardware problem?
    regards
    cem mete

    Hello
    Please dont be mad on me but in most cases is the user the problem and not the machine. I really dont know what is problem in your case but if the unit has well TV signal there should not be any problem.
    Your unit must be an US model. Those notebooks are not known to me but I presume that Qosmio player is preinstalled too. I have G20 and TV works perfect (WMCE and Qosmio player). What is with Qosmio player in your case? Does it work well?
    Be sure that TV tuner is listed properly in device manager and also TV antenna is connected properly.

  • 'A problem with the cooling system' error message on Satellite A660

    Hi all,
    Hope I can get some help here. I've had about 5 HP laptops after all of them had problems and faults. I got sick of them and therefore got a refund and bought a high spec A660-1FH.
    The A660 has been a great laptop for two days until yesterday when I started getting a warning message saying 'A problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please turn off the computer immediately, and return it for service'.
    The cpu fan works fine as you can here it spinning and the temperature of the i5-460m processor is around 40 degrees for both cores - which seems normal to me. I've noted that it happens only when running on battery and if you switch from eco utility to power saver mode. Its fine when running on the 'balanced' power setting. The fan is louder before when this message appears.
    As its under 28 days my retailer swapped it for a brand new one straight away. Got the new one home, and the same message appears again. Has anyone else experienced this. As two laptops have had this, I'm wondering if this is normal for the A660 series laptop or if there is really a hardware issue?!
    I have tried to upgrade eco utility and the bios of the laptop but both are the latest versions. Can anyone help or share if they experience a similar issue with their laptop?
    Thanks

    In front of me I have Satellite A660-13Q (PSAW3E) and I have it about 6 weeks now. It runs almost 10 hours daily and until now I didnt notice such message or anything else that can be suspect for hardware functionality.
    I really dont know why this happen on your notebook and dont think there is anything you can do about it.
    I would exchange it again. What you can also try is to contact nearest Toshiba service. Make a call, explain the situation and ask if they can help you with this.

  • Numerous problems with X1 platform and error message RDK-03032

    Daily I have problem with the X1 system where the TV signal goes out and I get a message that says " Call 1-800-XFINITY and reference RDK-03032." This problem is randum and can occur at any time of day, resulting in outages for many hours, or usually the remainder of the day. If I call Comcast customer service, usually the wait is usually about 20 minutes before someone comes on and goes through another process of sending signals to my box, at which time they say they need to send a technician out. I then get a call from the technician who says he doesn't need to come out because the problem is with XFINITY's network, and that they are working on it. If I call back into customer service, I need to first make sure I have about an hour for the process because the customer support person has to go through the same diagnostic test of sending signals to confirm the system is down, before they will refer the problem back to a technician in the field. Usually during this diagnostic process, the technician puts me on hold for another 30 minutes, at which time the phone is hung up, at which time I have to start the process all over again. RDK-03032 problem continues to occur with no resolution and no one seems to be able to tell me what the problem is, or how to fix it, and no one in customer support knows how to fix this problem. I have no idea how to get this problem resolved. Does anyone have any idea?  

    awsomely sad / they put this item on the market and i would recomemmend you contact the fcc for a form to fill out a complaint asap as i will be doing as soon as i receive the letter in the mail , they say it is a latency problem . late is late but no show at all for hours on end is the new future.  what is that suppossed to keep us victoms happy  untill they can figure out what to do to cover theyre mistakes , now they are trying to replace the incoming signal which has left me with no services 10 times in 14 days , i watched a tech install a new cable from pole to house with 2 supervisors standing rigth there , when the 12th visit by a tech i explained my story and the tech said let me look out side 1 hour later after my services were cut off again the tech came to my door and told me the cable from my house to the pole was terrible and rotten and needed to be replaced again , i knew he was lying but it was after 7 pm and i had enough , i saw them a week or so before , as did the 2 supervisors , cut a brand new peice of the roll in his truck replace it with new ends , a totally new peice , so i guess the cable they are using only has a 2 week life expectancy or the tech was lying , which i beleive the tech wanted to get paid for the call , so he probably did but once again my xi service is not right still , when they get to far in they start lying because they are probably getting screwed for have to service this x1 numerous times , when i sit here and listen to the supervisors and techs  tell me that the system is the problem and they are trying every 3 months to figure what the last  program upgrade has screwed up for  them and laugh jokingly it doesent give you to much faith in theyre ability to resolve any issues with this system face it we have no recoarse . over 200 hrs on the phone . i must have talked to every employee in the company even tom karinshank yhe ceo was contacted and after his rep sat there and picked appart evry thing i said got rude and now wont return my calls or emails they pass it to the next person , ????????????????????????????????????

  • ITunes installation error message.  Need help!

    I am receiving the following error message when downloading iTunes 10.5 and newer.  A network error occurred while attempting to read from the file c:\\windows\installer\iTunes.msi

    Crikey.
    C:\\program'files\iTunes\iTunes.resources\pt.lpro\duplicatesplacard.nb\objects.x ib
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Hi my iPhone is a 3GS and I've tried now to update it for 4.3.5 to 5.0.1 but when its done downloading it comes up with your iPhone is not eligible for this build (i think this is the error message) i need help

    plz help me guys

    Most often due two one of the following.
    1 Install current version of iTunes, older Macintosh Systems will not support current version of iTunes, make sure you have current version of iTunes.
    Or
    2 Your computer Hosts file is blocking Apple from communicating with iTunes. To determine this, search Hosts on computer, then open Hosts file with a word processor. If the Hosts file contains this, gs.apple.com it is blocking Apple. This line with its number must be inactivated (removing it works). A stock Hosts file does not contain this or block Apple.
    Here is Apple information on this problem:
    "This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw."

  • Capture Problem with "escape" command and error message

    Just got my Final Cut Express this week and I'm already having weird dreams about editing... I'm logging about 5 to 7 hours per night trying to figure it all out.
    Anyway, my most pressing issue is that while I am in the "capture" window and I rewind my tape (a Panasonic PV-GS320) (also, running this on my macbook pro with system 10.5.2 just loaded) - I press "now" because that seems to be the easiest to start with and when I try to stop and press "escape" it won't stop. So I tried pressing option/esc and it stops but I get the following message: " The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape. This may cause the video and audio of these media files to be out of sync. Make sure the audio sample rate of your capture preset matches the sample rate of your tape.
    I have some ideas but I wanted to get started working out this issue. Thanks for any help with this all you FXC gurus out there.

    I recorded this in dv widescreen which imports fine in imovie. I am importing in DV NTSC 48Hz. I've tried all the settings. I know I have to probably just find the right mix of settings. I've tried changing the settings in the camera to 4:3 and back to 16:9 but I guess if you record in widescreen, you are stuck with that format. But this is actually a DV not an HDV camera

  • Problem with Flash Menu in iWeb...need help please.

    Ok, I designed a flash menu in iWeb and successfully placed it at the top of the site. I then used the "transparent shape" method to make the hyperlinks work properly. I made sure the flash menu was in the back and the transparent shape hyperlinks were in the front. The menu works just fine for me and anyone else using Safari or Mac computers. However, people on Windows using Firefox, IE or Chrome are unsuccessful in clicking the links. They do not work for them.
    Here's my website's homepage link. Keep in mind, if you look there on Safari, it will work but it does not when on a Windows computer. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    http://www.platinumsportspicks.com/Index/Home/Home.html
    It is clearly the problem that the flash menu is opening in front of the hyperlinked shapes but I'm not sure how to make sure they stay on front.
    Message was edited by: kwgrooms

    I don't know the answer to that one but you can use the Mouse Over and Click method I have described on this page....
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Tricks/MouseOver.html
    It works in IE.
    Its just a question of making up two different buttons with text for each link, taking a screenshot and cropping them and adding the JPEGs to your upload folder.
    You can make up the buttons on an iWeb page and then delete them when you have taken the screenshots. I usually do this sort of thing in Keynote so that I can save them in case I need to modify them.
