Error 21, I have tried everything, nothing seems to work

Today I tried to upgrade my iPhone's firmware to 5.0.1 but ERROR 21 came up so I tried everything to fix it but nothing seems to work at all. Plus my iPhone is on DFU mode so I can not use it either.
Please help me.

What security software is running on your computer? Try to change the sercurity software settings or remove it.
Take a look at this Apple article -> iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
Error 20, 21, 34, 37: These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. If you are using a PC, follow this article to resolve this issue.

Everytime I open lightroom I get a pop up message saying "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" and it closes. Ive already tried reinstalling, nothing seems to work. Help please!

Open the folder containing your catalog. In that folder you will find another folder with the extension .lrdata, and you need to delete that folder. After you do that, Lightroom should start normally and will create a new preview cache.

iPhone not recognized in iTunes for Windows
iPhone: Not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

IPhone is not showing up in iTunes. I've tried just about everything. Please help!

Everything was working just fine until I updated my iTunes to the latest version (11.1.3).
I'm using a PC with Windows 7. I have an iPhone 5 and a couple of different iPod. Now all of them wont connect to iTunes.
I've tried everything, uninstalling, re-installing, all the troubleshooting and tutorials on the apple support online.
Today I was on the phone for about 30 mins with the apple support staff and we couldn't get it to work.
My other PC, which also Windows 7 has the newest iTunes installed and all of our iPhones and iPods have no trouble.
After I install the new iTunes on this PC, my iPhone is apearing in the computer, but will not connect to iTunes.
iTunes diagnostic will say it is not finding any iPhone or iPod.
I've even removed all of my antivirus software, tried re-installing an older iTunes version, nothing seems to fix it.
The apple support staff I talked to said a few other people have had a similar problem and they don't really know how to fix it.
As far as USB ports, they should all be ok. I've tried other devices (printer, scanner, flash drive) and they are working fine when plugged in.
It must be something to do with the apple mobile device support....?
Anyone's help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

it could be the cord. i have that same issue with my phone and it was the cord. you're not supposed to store the usb cord (or any other electrical cord) in a bunched up manner. anyway, i played around with my cord by bending it in different directions and now the cord works and my phone is recognized again. if all else fails, best to buy a new cord.

TS1538 My iPhones are not showing in latest iTunes

I have a couple of laptops as I have 1 for home, and one for travel.
The iTunes for travel is on a Windows 8 laptop
Since the latest version of iTunes, my Asus Windows 8 laptop (which I am travelling abroad for 3 months with) will not recognise either my iPhone 4 or my iPhone 5.
1) I have checked that the cables are plugged in
2) I have tried somebody elses cables (usb cords)
3) I have uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it
4) I have installed the latest IOS software on both the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 5
5) I have confirmed that the computer is clearly reading BOTH iPhones
6) I have verified that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
7) I have Verified that the Apple Mobile Devide USB drivers latest drivers are installed
8) I have checked for third-party software conflicts
9) I have pressed both the round button and power button to reset the phones
9) I have turned the phones off and on again
10) I have restarted the computer
11) I have reinstalled iTunes
12) I have wasted time watching youTube videos trying to fix the issue with no avail
13) I have gone into 'Device Manager' to confirm that the iphone/s are showing (1 at a time) and made sure the latest software is installed
13) Confirming again that as soon as I plug the iPhone/s in, the computer recognizes them, it is iTunes that won't.
14) I have the latest iTunes and IOS
I have already read this link, and tried what it said, to no succes
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

I'm sorry I thought I took the time to make my original post super clear
As per point 5) the computer is clearly reading BOTH phones in my computer / device manager / and the desktop when the phones are plugged in and the computer says 'you just plugged in iPhone 4' and 'you just plugged in iphone5'
as per point 13) Device manager is clearly showing both phones
only iTunes is refusing to connect to the phone, or show that either phone is plugged in.
It is very frustrating.
This clearly shows there is NOTHING wrong with a) the computer, b) the iphones, c) the cables, d) the usb
the problem is in iTunes refusing to find the phones

Iphone 4s not showing up in iTunes, even though I have done everything suggested by Apple

I have an iPhone 4S and the latest version of iTunes.
Everything worked fine untile one day, the iPhone stopped showing up in iTunes. I have not installed any other software during that time.
I have done everything suggested in Apple's support pages and reinstalled iTunes and all Apple software as suggested.
My iPhone is showing up in iTunes when I connect it to another computer with iTunes installed.
Any clues as to what may cause this on my computer?
Thanks!

the new appletv is not supposed to show up in itunes like the old one did.

HT1926 Win 7 64, latest updates. iTunes won't update - error "iTunes has an invalid signature. It will not be installed'. Tried rebooting, nothing seems to work. Due for new phone - am seriously looking at Android.

Any suggestions? IE 9.0.8112.14621IC. Symantec End Point Protection 11.0.5002.3333. Latest MS patches, rebooted, nothing has changed on my computer in months besided the MS patches. This is crazy - spent more time on this already than it's worth.....

I'm searching for an answer to almost the same exact problem, using almost the same exact hardware and software. Has an answer been found?
The files that I'm trying to burn come from eMusic, and they are formatted mp3. Recently, (after the iTunes update to 9.2.3?,) they would not drag and drop from iTunes into Toast. From several different discussions I've tried working around this by dragging to the desktop first then dragging and dropping to Toast, going to Toast from a programmer's homemade help window, " iToons," and today, after talking with Apple support, going directly to Toast from my eMusic folder. Alas, all recordings do not perform like they use to. Sometimes they play and sometimes not. There is one I managed, that is listenable, but sometimes I have to put it in my car stereo over and over again as it gets ejected with an error code, sometimes, finally it takes it... Some of the recordings on other disks I've burned are not clean - they have white-noise sounds creeping in... I use to have none of these problems. One time as I was listening to a CD that managed to play, and it just stopped playing... Is there an answer out there to get back to how it use to be? Thanks for you help.

HT1386 I originally added music to my iphone under someone elses itunes account, now that I am trying to add under my own id, it is not showing on my phone...how can I fix this?

What do I need to do to get my music from my itunes library onto my phone? I originally added music from a diffnerent itues account, and now that I am trying to add from my own it will not transfer...however, in the bar on the bottom of itunes it shows that it is on my phone...but it does not display anywhere else and I cannot find it in my phone. Do I need to connect to the original itunes account and delete that music in order for my library to show?

As you connect your ipod to iTunes, an option in the upper right of the screen will appear. When you click this, it will show the different menu for your ipod.

I am constantly receiving an error message that says "Could not find a PPPoE Server." My wireless internet connection seems to working fine, I'm not having any issues. How do I get rid of this error message?

A few weeks ago my computer had lost the connection to the wireless internet. I set it up again and was able to connect to the internet, however since then I've been receiving an error message "Could not find a PPPoE Server." I went back into Preferences and unchecked the PPPoE server option but the error message still pops up.
Any idea how to fix it?

In the Network pane of System Prefences, do you have duplicate services on the left column? When you "set it up again", you might have duplicated a service and both (the good working one and the previous that lost connection) might be trying to connect at the same time.
