Trying to update to iOS5 I get An unknown error (1).

Hi There!
I'm trying to update my second iPhone to iOS5 and while the first one gave me no trouble what so ever, the second one is always giving me an unknown error (1).
I've updated everything, only one USB is used, downloaded from all different sources the restore software and I always get the same error around 75% of the process. I also tried older 4.3.1 and 4.3.5 and tells me it's not elegible..
I've run the process more than 20 times over the last two days, tried different internet conections and nothing...
Any help on this would me much appretiated.
Thanks

What is the complete wording of the error message?

Trying to download Maverick, and keep getting "an unknown error has occurred'

Trying to install maverick, keep getting 'an unknown error has occured' message when I try to login to my apple account

Just saw the post from makras.
There are always a few problems with a new OS. Apple can't police every maker of crapware that's on the planet.
If you have a WD external drive, I would transfer (not clone) the files from it to another non-WD external drive that doesn't have crapware on it, and then erase the WD drive, and then never ever again buy a WD drive.
You will find many posts on the Apple Discussions from disgruntled narcissists (a few borderlines too) who blame Mavericks for their computer problems.
Mavericks is excellent (at least for me).
Every new OS has some incompatibilities with older software. That's why if someone is an early adopter, they should understand this, and if they have a low tolerance for frustration, or are uncomfortable with basic mac maintenance and troubleshooting, they should not be an early adopter.
Seems like the vast majority of problems that people complain about on the forums are related to crapware they have acquired on their computers from previous installations and promiscuous downloading habits.

Iphone 4 stuck between apple logo and loading circle after trying to update to IOS5

Since trying to update to IOS5 and getting the errors that most people are getting i.e. an unexpected error occurred (3004), my Iphone is now stuck between the Apple logo and the loading circle and it just keeps cycling between those 2 screens. It is not even recognised by Itunes when I plug it in.....
Anyone else got this? Any advice to try and get my Iphone 4 out of this cycle?

I too am having exactly the same problem, I can't even get to do a restore. Please can someone help?

Whilst trying to update my iPad, I get an error message

Whilst trying to update my iPad, I get the following error message
An error occured while backing up this iPad
(0xE 8004008). Would you like to continue to update
this iPad?
Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPad
Can anybody PLEASE tell me how to get around this.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

Temporarily disable your firewall and security software and see if that helps.

When I try to update to iOS5, iTunes gets stuck on "Backing Up" its been there for hours and it barely moves

When I try to update to iOS5, iTunes gets stuck on "Backing Up" its been there for hours and it barely moves. It finished backing up one then it went to a "Extracting Software" on the iTunes status bar up top and then it gave me an error saying something along the lines of "There was an error with the server" and back to square 1. Ive been trying since the morning and same problem. Always stuck on the backup, help?

You may have lost your connection to the apple server or connection with your itunes library.
1) You will need to shutdown Itunes and disconnect your iphone from the USB cable.
2) Reconnect your Iphone to the usb cable, wait for the device to be recognised and or drivers to be installed.
3) once all ok, your itunes should automatically open up/connect (if you have this setting set on), otherwise double click your itunes icon on your desktop.
4) once all sychronised and connected. go to Summary tab and UPDATE your iphone again.
Hope this works for you, as this happend to me and tried the above steps and wala!!! all good.
If the above still fails, restart your pc/apple and turn off/on your modem and then try again.
this normally happens if your connection from your device to the itunes hangs or looses its connection, or have a bad connection to the internet / apple server.
in windows the RPC Locator is normally the cause of this, in apple i have no idea (as im not an apply user).
Give it a shot!
if this helps you and works ...why not rep/like my response up!

Error message (-43) while trying to update to iOS5

While trying to update to iOS5, I keep getting this message part way through the back up process:
An error occurred while backing up this iPhone (-43)
Would you like to continue to update this iPhone?
Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPhone.
Continue - Cancel
Is there something else I need to try in order not to receive this error message?
(I have tried rebooting, using different USB ports, changing the sequence of starting iTunes and plugging in the iPhone, fresh install of iTunes 10.5).
If I click Continue, will iOS5 install and will I be able to restore my contents from a prior backup (manual backup before updating)?
I can't find any discussion threads with the same error code.

Danny,
I lost nothing after the upgrade and "restore from previous backup." The only app that was not functioning after the upgrade was Copilot Europe, but the solution was to delete the app from the iPhone and reinstall it (did not have to pay for it again).
The problem after the upgrade was the fast battery drain and heat that others have been reporting with 4S, but that seems to be an iOS5 issue with some of the settings in Notifications and Location Services. I think I have pretty much solved that one by adjusting some of those. Also, there is already an update to iOS5 in the works.
I hope you succeed with the upgrade!

If you dont have none option then you must own itunes some money. So you have to enter the payment like a itunes giftcard. you can contact itunes by email by going to expresslane.apple.com

TS1702 I am getting an unknown error when trying to update or purchase apps from the apps store. This is new, after the new OS update. Help

Hi, I get this unknown error message, twice when trying to update or purchase new apps. It was working fine, then just stopped. I changed my password, but that hasn't worked. Help!

Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
1. Settings>Store>Apple ID.
2. Tap your ID and sign out.
3. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off.
4. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to download again.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Trying to update iTunes and I get the error - "errors occured while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools Download only and try installing manually". Currently on version 10.5.3.3 trying to update to 11.0.2 on a Windows 7 64-bit

Tried to update ITunes, but keep getting error: Service "Apple Mobile Device" failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". How do I get my ITunes back?

Tried to update ITunes, but keep getting error: Service "Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
So how do I get my ITunes back?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
