TS2430 Every time I hook up my iPhone 4 to my laptop Itunes says "cannot read the contents of the phone." and asks me to restore to factory settings. Any help?
Hello, I recently was sent a replacement iPhone 4 from apple. I originally had it assigned to a laptop with an older version of iTunes and everything worked fine. I recently purchased a new laptop and assigned the new laptop to my phone with the newest version of iTunes. Now everytime I hook up my phone to my new laptop I get the same error message. "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone. Go to the Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings." Can anyone help, please!
Did you try following the instruction to restore? You are getting that message for a good reason - there is corrupted or altered data/settings on the phone. Is this phone jailbroken or hacked?

UPdated iPhone 4 to os6 over wifi and when finished asked me to restore to factory settings and I'm not sure why.

When you reloaded your software did you do a clean reload (deleting all data)? http://bbry.lv/bpv7DT
If so, you might try doing a resettofactory using the following instructions. http://bit.ly/fMW9I4 This will reset to factory default.

Why every time I try to download after effect CS5 trial it says 'illegal seek' but its from the Adobe website? is it because of lion? why?
It isn't Lion. It might be the browser you are using or it could be an issue with adobe's site.
Try a different browser and if that doesn't work, contact adobe and let them know you are having problems. -

Did you go through the troubleshooting information here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Check for hardware issues
Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm 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.
and
Check USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.
If so, then it's a hardware problem. Make an appointment at the genius bar and get it replaced. Based on the "it was water damaged", I think it's a safe bet that it's toast. -
I have had an iphone 3g and recently had to restore my factory settings, when I have tried to add facebook on again it says that the relevant update of 4.3 is not available, however the 4.3 update is not available for the iphone 3g. how can i solve this and get facebook back on my phone
You cannot.
Unless you have done as you should and have the old facebook app on your computer. -
Every time I link my Ipod touch to my laptop it starts to sync with my computer even though I have it on the "manually manage music and videos" option. Along with syncing, it makes copies of the same songs that are already on my Ipod so now I have 3 of the same song on there. Is there anybody else that has had this problem? Please help!!!!!!!
Try to delete compatibility.ini in the Firefox Profile Folder.
That should initiate compatibility, but hopefully it won't return a next time.
If that doesn't work then try a new profile.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

I updated my iphone 5 today and now I get a message on my phone that tells me to plug in and when plugged in to the computer I have a message that my phone is in recovery mode and that I need to restore my phone to factory settings, please help!
Are you really running Windows 98? I sure hope not. :S
I have noticed a few others with the same problem the past couple of weeks. Many of them were able to resolve the issue by doing a low level reformat of the iPod's flash storage using the instructions in this article.

My Iphone 5 has a screen that is cracked and cannot be read. I need to restore the factory settings to send it back to the warranty company. Please tell me how to do that through Itunes
Restore your iOS device
Connect your iOS device to your computer using the cable that came with it.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. In the Summary pane, click the Restore button for your device.
Click Restore again to confirm that you want to restore your device to factory settings and delete all data and content. iTunes will download the iOS software file and restore your iOS device.
After your iOS device is restored to factory settings, it will restart, and you’ll see the "Slide to set up” welcome screen. Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. You can set up your device as new or using a previous backup. If your iOS device has cellular service, it will activate after you restore. your welcome -

I've selected the "restore from backup" button numerous times, but iTunes continues to give me the message, "This computer has previously been synced with another device." It then gives me the option to set up as a new phone or restore from backup. I want to put my music and apps back onto my phone! How can I get my computer to recognize my phone again?
I found this article some time ago when I was trying to help someone else in this same situation. This is a copy and paste from the website. The website is provided below for you to read before you try this.
Plug your phone into iTunes
Click setup as a new device
Immediately unplug your phone from the computer
Give it about 30 seconds and iTunes will give a message (I don’t remember the specific, but regarding you unplugging the device and it not completing)
Plug your phone back in
Viola! no restore occurred and you can access everything again
This computer has previously synced with an iPhone or another iOS device. -
I just purchased a new iphone 5s and music would not play on it with headphones plugged in. They replaced the phone for me but it continued to do this. So I restored the phone and tried to play music on youtube before I restored all my settings and apps....Any suggestions on common apps that may cause this?
We have tried 3 different brands of headphones, including the apple set and auxiliary audio cord.
Also, music works fine before I load all my apps, hence why I ask if anyone knows about any kind of certain apps causing this. -
I plugged my phone ino my computer to download more music and it said I had an update, so I hit the update button and it said I had to restore the phone to factory settings. I tried turning it off and getting out of the screen, but it wouldn't allow me to do anything other than restore. Now I lost all my photos and music = can I get anything back?
