how to fix error 21 my iphone doesnt work what should i do????

Hello,
I found this article that should help you out:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
It says the following about Error 21:
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Follow Troubleshooting 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 iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow 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.
Hope that helps,
David

    Hey there fcaride,
    It sounds like you are unable to finish restoring with iTunes due to this error -1 message. Usually that is associated with security software. Use the steps from the following article to help with that:
    Get help with iOS update and restore errors
    Related errors: 1, 3, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
    These errors mean that your device or computer might have a hardware issue that stops the update or restore from completing.
    Check that your security software and settings aren't blocking your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Make sure that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    If the issue persists, I would next use the last section of the following article titled "If your device turns on but gets stuck during start up"
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

    my iphone 4s screen has just turned black but it is still vibrating. I was reading other messages similar and it says to resart phone but holding the home and lock button. However my lock button doesnt work what should i do?

    Is it the Home button that doesn't work, or the Power (Sleep/Wake) button? If the Power button works, you can switch it off. Not sure how you have been able to do anything without the Home button working?

    Before you restore the iPod from the backup that Dave had you make yu have to transfer stuff from the iPod to the computer since the backup does not contain the apps themselfes, music, synced phots and some other stuff.  To see what a backup contains see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    To transfer iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - For other stuff you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support CommunitiesA lot of thos are paid, especiall for more than a limited number of items.  It is harder to find one that does synced photos.

    how can i make my iphoto work on my macbook whenever it asks me to shut the laptop down i do but it doesnt work it asks to do the same thing and i do it and it asks me again and again . what should i do????????????

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what message do you get when iPhoto tries to launch? Post the exact message or a screenshot of it?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router

    Just got an iphone 4 handed down to me from my aunt. worked perfect for 2 days then i go to restore it because it was stuck in the apple logo loop. put it in recovery mode and i get an unknown error -2 please help!

    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.
