TS3992 want to unlock sim itunes cannot read my phone wants to reset to factory settings

i am on ios6 on my iphone4 and want to unlock my phone, i have unlock code and different sim, but neither of my laptops with itunes on it will read my device and want to revert to factory settings, will this mean i lose all my documents etc

A 3-week-old Backup is going to have to be good enough at this point. You should do a Reset and expect to loose any personal data not in your Backup. Anything you have recently purchased from the App Store or from iTunes will still be available to re-download in that you already have paid for them.

Itunes cannot read contents of IPOD, please restore to factory settings...

And I'm pretty sure I've done it like... 10 times now.
This is starting to drive me nuts... Im not sure when exactly the problem started, but my IPOD (30gig video) has been working fine since I got up... Up until now. I Believe it was just after updating to the newest version of ITunes, but Im not 100% sure.
Since then, almost every time I plug my IPOD into my laptop, ITunes pops up with this message and asks me to Restore my IPOD using the IPOD Updater. The IPOD is recognized by Windows Explorer every time, and is always recognized by the IPOD Updater.
Every time I Restore it, and rename the IPOD, recopy all my music, etc... It works fine until I use the IPOD for some extended period of time... I've tested it just using it for a few minutes then plugging it back in and it tried to update my music fine, but If I use it for a few hours, the next time I go to plug it in, I get the same ITunes Cannot Read Contents of IPOD error.
I've done the Five R's numerous times, Reinstalled both ITunes and the IPOD Services numerous times... Everything shy of formatting the system to get this to work, but it just keeps happening...
What's also weird is that when I DO Restore it, and set it to Update My Library in ITunes, It says the IPOD is linked to another library and then I have set it to link to mine? Could this have anything to do with it? For the record I have not been switching computers with it or anything lately... so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it...
Anyone have any idea, or should I take out a Service Order?
Please let me know,
-Stef

I've got a brand new iPod Video 60Gb and i have had this message since the first time i synced it. I think i restored the iPod about 10 times but it's always crashing when i unlupg it. It try to listen to something, the musics are on the iPod but they aren't listed in playlists or under artists or songs.
Then i plug it to iTunes and i got the message: iTunes cannot read the content.
I've bought a Belkin card just for it, the one recommended for iPod USB 2.0. Doesn't change anything. I've tried different USB ports, again, nothing new.
I was just going to try using USB 1.0 but it's sooooooooooooo slow that it will take me like 12 hours to sync the iPod!
I don't know what to do now, as i can't find if it's a computer problem or an iPod problem...

Chainged password on ipad and phone now cant accsess itunes store on either device if i reset to factory settings and put in new password will that work

have i pad and phone chainged password now not able to accsess apps store on either device if i reset to factory settings and enter new password will that solve problem?

If you only changed your password - not your Apple ID - have you changed it in the settings? Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap the ID and you can make changes in there.
You should not have to reset to factory Settings so don't resort to that just yet.

When I plug my iPhone into my computer to sync my iTunes I get a message that says "iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone" and wants me to restore my phone back to factory settings. Any suggestions so that I don't have to restore?

When I plug my iPhone into my computer to sync my iTunes I get a message that says "iTunes cannot read the content of the iPhone" and wants me to restore my phone back to factory settings. Any suggestions so that I don't have to restore? I have all of my stuff backed up on iCloud but I really don't want to go through the hassle of wiping it clean and putting everything back on.

This is a post from a user named edgar999 and it worked PERFECTLY:
"OK - this is how it works:
In order to backup from iCloud you cannot use iTunes!
Therefore disconnect your device from your computer.
Turn on your device and go to Settings and then go to General.
At the bottom of this submenu there is a buttom "Reset"
If you push that buttom you see 6 different Erase settings to chose from!
Chose "Erase All Content and Settings" because this will wipe everything from your device and will let you restore from iCloud! (I tried the top "Reset All Settings" but that did not let me use iClouds afterwards!)
Once you pushed that buttom your device will be wiped clean and after some time you will see the Device Welcome Screen like on a new device!
After choosing your location you will be asked to setup your WiFi-conection. After you joint to your Wifi you will be given the choice to restore the iPad from a backup from the iCloud. Choosing this backup will prompt you with your apple ID and password.
Restoring from a backup can take some time. The process uses your Wi-Fi connection to download settings, content and data. If you had a lot of content on your device, this can take a while. The restore screen should give you estimates at each stage of the restore process, starting with restoring the settings and then booting into the iPad. When the iPad home screen appears, the device will continue the restore process by downloading all of your applications.
If you are restoring from a backup because you have run into problems with your device that can only be solved by restoring it, you can first choose your latest backup. If you still have problems, you can move on to the next latest backup, repeating the process until (hopefully) the problem is cleared."
THANK YOU edgar999!!!!

ITunes cannot read the data on my iPod touch

Just three weeks or so ago, I was able to use iTunes without any problems to put a few songs on my iPod Touch 2nd Gen. Recently, however, whenever I try to connect my iPod to iTunes via USB, I get an error message that says something along the lines of: "iTunes cannot read the data on xxx's iPod Touch. Go to the Summary tab and choose Restore to restore this iPod to it's original factory settings.". I don't know why it says this since my iPod is functioning normally. My iPod shows up on the left hand side of the iTunes window as "iPod" instead of "xxx's iPod Touch" like it used to. The only options I have are Check for Update (disabled) and Restore. Is there any way to fix this without restoring my iPod? And if I have to restore, can I do so without losing (or having to re-transfer) any of my data that hasn't been or can't be backed up? Please help and thanks in advance!
P.S. My iPod is in its genuine state: it hasn't been jailbroken or anything like that.

Unfortunately, I've already tried that. Also, here is a list of other things I've tried, but have taken no effect:
-Recharging, Restarting, Resetting, and Reconnecting my iPod Touch to my computer
-Restarting my computer
-Reinstalling iTunes
-Reinstalling all iTunes, Apple, and iPod USB drivers
-Updating the same drivers (but no updates were found)
-Using a different USB port
-Connecting to a different computer (doesn't work on my Toshiba laptop either, which is running the same OS and the same version of iTunes as my PC)
My backup plan was to copy the new songs to my iPod by pasting them through Windows Explorer. My iPod shows up as a portable device under My Computer - as always - but the only thing I can access is a folder full of the photos on my iPod. I think this is normal, but I can't do what I want to do! Do you (or anyone else) have any other good ideas? Remember, I really don't want to do a restore unless I absolutely have to.

ITunes Reports "iTunes Cannot read the contents of the iPod...."

This morning I connected my 2 week old iPod Classic to my laptop via the USB cable and iTunes came up and displayed a message saying "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod MHAM'S IPOD". It suggested a restore, which I have not tried yet. I have faithfully used the "Eject" function in iTunes to disconnect. After reading some other posts in the forums, it appears that others are having a similar issue. I'm concerned that this is normal operating behavior for this product. Given that this is my first Apple brand purchase, I'm a little turned off to the brand. Does anyone have a suggestion that doesn't involve me wiping this thing clean and starting over? And is this something that I should just expect? I ran a diagnostic and the results are below.

The iPod updater logging file cannot be found.

I had this same exact issue happen to me this morning, and I lost 40 gigs worth of transferring in restoring it. I put a few albums on for the day, and when I tried connecting again this evening, the same thing happened. It hit me when it happened the second time that both times I had the iPod locked when it connected it to the computer. I'm pretty sure I've never accidentally connected it while locked before. My guess it that it is unable to read the content since the iPod is locked, and somehow this causes some sort of corruption that prevents it from seeing the files until a restoration is done. I would think Apple should be able to release an update which would detect if the iPod was locked and tell you to unlock it rather than to go through this process of losing all your music from the iPod. It scares me to think this could happen again simply if I am absent-minded in the future and forget to check whether it is locked or not before I connect it.

Error message: "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod."

I wanted to get my dad a new iPod for Xmas and transfer all his music from his ancient Classic. But when I connect to my MacBookPro, I get the error message: "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod." I see that 90% of the ipod drive is used, but I don't see any songs listed either on the iPod screen or in iTunes, which is worrying. Is there anything I can to save the music? He will be so upset that it's all gone...

My suggestions, when Restoring the iPod.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC.
Disconnect all other USB devices, except the mouse and keyboard.
Stop all other programs except iTunes.
Good Luck!

ITunes cannot read the contents of iphone "Teresa Pearcy". Help?

Everytime I plug in my phone to charge, this is what pops up. "
ITunes cannot read the contents of the iphone "Teresa Pearcy". Go to the Summary Tab in iphone preferences and click Restore to restore this iphone to factory settings."
It also says if I do this then I will lose everything that's been put into my phone.
I've even tried everyway I know to get around iTunes just to get a new ring tone downloaded. I can't get any of my music... I don't want to lose what I have on my phone already by restoring it to factory settings.
It will transfer photos from iphone to computer. But nothing else.
I've been struggling with this since I got the phone. Can anyone help me out with this?? Please? It's been very frustrating. Thank you.

Hi,
I've the same problem too.
I had made iPhone sync on my PC in the past. But my HDD went in trouble and I had to buy another and reinstall Windows, so I lost my iTunes library.
Having no sync was ok, since I was comfortable with the photos, applications and music in my iPhone.
But yesterday my iPhone went out of disk space, and my problem started. I then needed to sync. I tried to extract my paid applications from iPhone using "transfer purchases from my iPhone". Unsuccessful, since it did not copy every application. I've tried to download the applications again, but iTunes say I need to pay for them. And now, after some unsuccessful purchase transfers and backups, iTunes says "iTunes cannot read the contents of iPhone", so I think I'm forced to restore the original settings.
What should I do?
I don't want to pay again for the applications I already purchased.
I don't want to loose my application data.
I don't care about my music, photos and videos, cause I can get them elsewhere anyway.
Is there a way to save my iPhone, applications and data?
Thanks

Itunes- cannot read contents of iPhone! HELP!!!

Hello I just synced my 2.1 firmware iPhone with itunes yesterday for the first time and everything went fine. I was trying to copy songs from my iPod to iPhone without individually adding them from my music folders so I downloaded a program called 4media iPod to pc to do the transfer not realizing that it had set my iPhone up as a mac. (I have windows xp media center edition). I closed the program and opened up iTunes and got the message "iTunes cannot read the contents of iPhone. Please click on the preferences tab and restore to factory settings". I went back to the program and deleted the songs from the iPhone and connected back to iTunes but got the same message. I don't want to restore because I didn't create any backup. But now the computer only recognizes the phone as a camera. I read about a iTunes_control folder delete but I don't completely understand it. Can someone please help me with a way that doesn't involve restoring??????? Note: my iphone3g is not jailbroken.

I would do the restore and see if that corrects the issue.

Keep getting "itunes cannot read the contents of the iPad" message when connecting my iPad 2 to Windows XP

Hi all,
I have an iPad 2 that I purchased in late 2011. I have a Windows XP PC. Of late, I have not been able to connect my iPad 2 to iTunes on my Windows XP (Service Pack 3) desktop. I keep getting the popular error "itunes cannot read the contents of the iPad. .... restore factory settings" message. I have tried re-installing latest iTunes altogether after fully uninstalling and removing registry entries. But it still keeps giving the same message. I have tried all the steps given here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 , except checking with a different USB cable. My cable however works well while charging. My system however seems to detect the iPad as camera. I desperately need some help to fix this.
Thanks,
Paddy

Worked for an iPad 4 (Retina) running iOS 7.0.3. connected to a Mac (Mavericks, iTunes 11.1.2). Although the file system is a bit different than what is shown on the video, the basic same steps can be carried out: download iFunbox (for Mac, obviously), go into "Raw file system", then "iTunes_Control" (you may want to switch to list view to see the complete name), then iTunes. There there was no iTunesDB file but I deleted iTunesCDB (was 0kB, expect that might have been the problem) and iTunesControl (0kB as well). Also deleted the Music folder in the previous directory.
After that I disconnected the iPad from iTunes, quit iTunes, relaunched, and it started sync'ing :-)
Note that now it's telling me that it cannot sync because an additional 10GB is required! Not sure what the problem is because the bar at the bottom of the iTunes window says it still has another 4GB available. I'm expecting there's a problem with how the size of the music is calculated (perhaps because I also sync Genius playlists and mixes), so I disabled music sync'ing for now so it can complete it once. Then I'll hand-pick the music again and hope it works!

ITunes was deleted off the main computer where I installed my ipod nano. Now, itunes cannot read my ipod on my second computer. What do I do?

iTunes was deleted off the main computer where I installed my ipod nano. Now, itunes cannot read my ipod on my second computer. What do I do? I use a PC. I just want to be able to download songs again and put them on my ipod.

Hey
Does it charge when connected, if not you may have broken it..
You can always try an apple Genius at an Apple Store,

ITune cannot read the contents of the iPhone.

Ok, this is quite annoying,
All I want is to get a few music files from my PC to my iPhone, I downloaded iTune, installed it, and now I am getting this message:
iTune cannot read the contents of the iphone "<phone name>". Goto to the summary tab in iphone preferences and click restore to restore this iphone to factory settings.
Funny, cause my iPhone is listed there on the devices, but it doesn't have any tabs available for me to sync.
what am I missing ?

Hi Paul, I just starting getting this same message last night. Can you please tell me how you reformatted the memory card because I am ready to pull my hair out! Any help would be appreciated!!

Itunes cannot read the contents of the iphone

Problem: iPhone cannot synch with iTunes b/c of the error: "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone "iPhone". Go to the summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings". I have reset the iPhone all possible ways, rebooted, uninstalled/installed iTunes, have double clicked to change name, doesn't synch. I need to get my music and photos back on my device, but I cannot seems to do so. After clicking restore, it blows the device away, then I still get the error. Help?

I'm have the same problem... just updated to iOS4 on my 3G. Everything synced fine after a few problems with the backup process. The only data that was not transferred was my music to iPod. When I hooked back up to download the music I received the "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone" I have not restored back to the factory settings. Any suggestions... I don't want to lose the data on the phone.

ITunes cannot read the contents of my iPod?

I wanted to put some new songs onto my iPod, but when I plug it into the computer, a message pops up; 'iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod. Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to its factory settings.'
I tried this, but when I connected my iPod to the computer again, the same message popped up. I have switched my iPod off and then back on, reconnected my iPod and downloaded iTunes again, but they all didn't work.
Does anyone know what to do?

Reboot the computer
Try another USB port
Try aoterh cable
Try another computer to helpo determine if y have an iPod or computer problem
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
