"There is a problem with your device,We're sorry the device you connected may be damaged and cannot be activated for service. "

My problem is after i did a restore on my 32gb ipod touch i now get a error on itunes that says "There is a problem with your device,We're sorry the device you connected may be damaged and cannot be activated for service. " Please help

In the ipad discussion forums there apparently is a HUGE problem with people not being able to update to ios 4.3.3, it apparently locks up their devices and they are also getting the error "there is a problem with your device".... some are reporting the same problem with their ipod touch as well... it looks like it's a global issue
The forum is in the ipad section under the title of "There is a problem with your device".
I have dodged a bullet on this one since i have not updated my ipod's or ipad in the last couple of days.... i will hold off syncing to itunes until this issue is fixed... good luck, and spread the word if you can to get apple to listen

My iPhne is 4S, after I downloading the latest OS 5.1 and extracting and verifying, it came to a point on iTunes where it could not at all, activate my iPhone.

Not surprised that you took a paragraph from my post to repost the same issue.
It is a hardware/software fault which you'll have to get the iPhone replaced if you're under warranty.

"there is a problem with your apple tv ethernet networking" but I am connecting wirelessly

So basically I can happily see all my movies etc on my TV via Apple TV but they appear to play but with no image. Sound is OK! Then the ATV decides something is wrong, reboots and says "there is a problem with your apple tv ethernet networking" but I am trying to connect over wifi.
I have original ATV
Thanks in advance
Daniel

You may have some software corruption or the unit may well be starting to fail.
Hold menu and down arrow for 6 secs to reboot the unit to the diagnostics/service menu from where you can reinstall the original shipping software (some have had issues updating beyond version 1.0 if that's what's on it) but first I'd try to run the diagnostics utility though it often passes this even if there are issues.
Always worth unpowering the AppleTV and letting it rest for a few minutes before restarting - this can sometimes reset thing that a powered reboot won't.

64 GB 3G iPad: There is a problem with your iPad

I just got my 3G iPad and I have this error when plugging in my iPad for the first time:
after waiting for the "Waiting for iPad..." message to end, iTunes shows this:
There is a problem with your iPad
We're sorry, the iPad you connected is not recognized and cannot be activated for service.
We recommend you visit your nearest Apple Store for more information.

This is a bummer. I just software-updated my MacPro to the latest version of iTunes, too. Are Apple's servers swamped due to the 3G release or do I really have to take it into the Apple Store?

I phoned a manager at a local Apple Store and he suggested trying to get the iPad into restore mode. Holding the "power button" (as I call it, they call it the screen lock button) and the home button reboot the iPad, and iTunes no longer had that "There is a problem with your iPad" screen. I was able to press the restore option in iTunes, and subsequently reinstall the iPad to its "factory setting."
I'm now restoring the iPad 3G from a backup of my iPad Wi-Fi. There was a bit of a delay at the "Waiting for activation" portion of the process, but I'm past that and it's installing a ton of my apps. Hopefully useful for anyone else who gets that error screen.

ITunes Match: There was a problem with your payment type.

This Morning i received the following email from apple regarding my itunes match account.
I have no idea why this has happened, i am now worried of loosing all my music.
I have itunes match set for AUTORENEWAL, and there ist enough credit on my itunes store account.
Does anyone have an answer to this?
Would be greatful for help.

iTunes Match: There was a problem with your payment type.
There was a problem with your payment type that prevented the automatic renewal of your subscription to iTunes Match. To renew your subscription and to regain the ability to store your entire music collection on iCloud and enjoy it on your iOS devices, iTunes, and Apple TV, you will need to update your payment information. iTunes Match stores not only your songs purchased on the iTunes Store, but all of the other great music you have acquired over the years, including music from CDs.
To update your payment information or manage your subscription, sign in to iTunes on your computer and go to your Account Information page. Your matched and uploaded tracks will be removed from iCloud in 90 days, so renew your subscription now and keep all of your music in the cloud so you can listen to it anytime, anywhere.
Regards,
The iTunes Store team
