Hello there, toestothenose.
It seems that you may not have gotten the entire message into your thread here, but the following Knowledge Base article offers a good resource on which messages from Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions can be safely ignored:

I have the iphone 3GS and when I recently updated the software to 5.0, the phone has been slower and is messing up now, how do I fix this?

I have synced it several times and nothing changes. I'm afraid to restore it because last time it deleted everything on there, even when I updated it, Everything was deleted and I always back it up. But now the internet is slow and it just loads and loads and it froze a one point, I've turned it off then back on, still nothing.

There are several ways to get iOS on your phone.
In iOS 5.0+, go to Settings<General<Software Update
Connect your phone to iTunes and select "Check for Update". It should prompt you for 5.1
Google for a direct copy of iOS 5.1 for your phone and download it to your computer (it is downloaded from Apple servers, so don't worry about voiding warranty). Restore your phone as normal and hold down Shift (Windows) or Alt (Mac) when clicking restore to specifiy which iOS build you're putting on your phone. You would want to use the 5.1 file you downloaded)
Can you specify the error given?

- Charge the iPod for half an hour. Then reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- if still not working, connect to your computer. If iTunes sees the iPod, restore the iPod.
- If still problem, place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod. For recovery mod see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

- Go here and see if you can redownload the movies. If you can then delete the movie and redownlod it.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Otherwise, contact iTunes and explain your problem. They should allow a free redownload.

I am having the same problems as this person. I see that someone said there is no way to retrieve the pictures once it gets stuck in recovery mode.
Then further along someone said that there are data retrieval methods except they have something to do with jail breaking a phone.
My phone is already jail broken. It was kind of a gift from the company I work for- it was a fellow employees before. He jail broke it and then it was given to me. After I got it I activated the 4 and tried to back up everything. It didn't work and "Springboard" forced the phone into safety mode. So I could use it with the old dude's apps and my contacts. I made the mistake of using the phone for wedding dress shopping with a friend. I took tons of pictures.
After this I found out the messages I was seeing meant it was jail broken. At&t said to force restore the phone - iTunes wouldn't recognize it in safety mode. I'm an idiot and didn't realize what this meant for my pictures. It didn't work (error 1611) - thankfully. Now it is stuck in recovery mode (iTunes icon and USB cable picture).
Can I access that media in any way? It never suceeded restoring itself so is it still there? The phone is jail broken already so is there a method I can use?

HT201272 I would like to download previous itune purchases on my I-Phone 4. Everytime I plug my phone into the computer it says apple mobile device not started. How do I fix this?

I want to download my previous purchases from my computer to my IPhone 4. Everytime I plug my phone into my computer it says Apple mobile devices service is not started. How do I fix this?

Hello EFierro79,
I find it easiest to download my purchases directly to my iPhone. You don't even need to connect your iPhone to iTunes. As long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase the items, you will not be charged.
You can find the steps to do this under the section titled "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on iOS" in the following article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Additionally, you can follow the steps in the article below to resolve the error "This [device] cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device Service is not started."

My One to One activation code said it is not valid. How do I fix this so I can sign up for my first session?

Thanks JoeyR. I didn't realize the One to One sessions are now online.
The "activation code" threw me. I took the One to One classes 4 years ago. All I did was sign up in the store and the sessions started the following week inside the Apple Store. Times have changed I see.

If third-party software called "Air Display" is installed, remove it according to the developer's instructions, then reboot. Back up all data before making any changes.

I manually deleted back-ups from Time Machine and now I can't empty the trash

I manually deleted back-ups from Time Machine and now I can't empty the trash.

Using Finder (deleting Time Machine backups) to manage Time Machine files is a mistake. The remedy is somewhat easy, but you will lose all the files on that TM drive.
If there is nothing elese on the Time Machine drive, try reformatting the drive with Disk Utility. This will effectively remove the files from that drive from the trash. If you have files on this drive, temporarily copy the files to another drive, then reformat the TM drive.
