Unknown error 6 when updating to 1.1.2!! NEED HELP

I have rebooted itunes and the iphone.I tried to Restore. THe bar gets about 25% through the restore and i receive unknown error 6. I am sooo frustrated. The Apple geniuses dont have any openings for 2 days!!! I need this phone for business tomorrow ;( I feel like they are leaving me out to dry. Can anyone help????

Post-rage report:
I tried about 15 times with different variations to fix the issue late last night. Reset the phone, different USB ports etc. Nothing worked. I even deleted my backup (from a week or so ago).
In the cold hard light of day the morning after, the only thing I could think of that could have caused it (besides Apple's faux pas) was that I installed 10.5, had a major issue with a auto-update patch and had to Archive and Reinstall since the last week. The patch completely crippled my 10.5 install so maybe that had something to do with it.
At any rate, I attached it to my Windows machine and synced up and it worked. At the end of the process it asked if i wanted to restore the backup and I declined. Instead I attached it back to my main sync machine and re-ran the sync process.
Horrible waste of time and incredibly frustrating but I'm glad I was able to resolve it without making a trip to the Apple store or a call to Applecare.

TS3219 Is anyone receiving a "unknown error" message when updating/getting new apps?

Before and after installing the new update I started receiving an "unknown error" message when trying to update apps. I changed my password thinking that was it but I am still getting the error message.

Try signing out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again and see if that works for you.

ITunes (unknown error -54) when syncing music to iPhone 4s. Help!

I just got a 64 GB iPhone 4s and I'm having trouble syncing my music library. A few artist into syncing and get an error message saying a certain song could not sync (unknown error -54). Then the rest of my library does not sync to my iPhone. I deleted all the songs that made it into my iPhone and I tried syncing my library again. I got the same unknown error -54 message again but it's another song that won't sync. The funny thing is that the previous song that wouldn't sync made it into my iPhone. Because of that I think it's an iTunes problem and not the file. Please help! Very frustrating!

I stopped using iCloud and started to sync everything to my MacBook Pro. I had also done a restore just to make sure it was being ungunked. Everything works perfectly now. I'm back to using my laptop iTunes for backing up my iPhone 4S

Unknown error 400 when updating apps through iTunes.

I have been getting an error message 400 when trying to update apps from the app store on my macbook. I can only update them from my iphone. I am able to purchase and download the original apps as well as music and movies. Are there any fixes for this issue? I do not have this problem on my imac.
Thanks

I had the same problem and after a full day on the phone with Apple, there was no solution. Then, I tripped over it! The issue was with a third party program that was supposed to be allowing all traffic, but wasn't. The program is NetBarrier and once it was removed and my MacBook Pro was rebooted, all was great. The iMac wasn't affected (in my case) because I never installed that program on the iMac.
I blogged it here: http://www.wickedblog.com/2010/03/23/itunes-wont-update-apps-itunes-error-400/. I hope this helps others avoid hours of searching.

Unknown Error Occurred when updating to iOS 4.2

Hi,
I have a new iPod touch 4th gen and it had iOS 4.1 and i tried to upgrade it to 4.2. It downloaded and installed the new software but as it was finalizing i got an error. So now my new iPod is screwed and when i try and restore it i keep getting error (-1).
I have Windows 7 with iTunes 10.1 and a 32gb iPod touch 4th gen.
Any help is greatly appreciated,

Hi,

Thanks again for your help,

Error 1602 when updating to 1.1.3 - please help!

Hey all,
i would really appreciate your help.
I am wanting to download the january update. So far i installed itunes 7.6 and downloaded the 1.1.3 update without any problems. I seem to be having difficulty installing the 1.1.3 update onto my ipod as it just says something along the lines of couldnt update ipod error 1602. Ive had a bit of a search on this discussion board and realise ppl have been posting a few strange ways to overcome this, with varyingly successful results. Primarily they involve removing all itunes programs and/or restoring ipod. Is this what i should do?? If i am to do this does this mean that i loose all of the content on my ipod?? will i loose all of my songs in itunes? or will everything be exactley the same??
Thanks in advance
sally

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Did you fully remove iTunes and the Apple Mobile Device Support as per the instructions above. A simply re-install may not replace all the components required.

Those slashes in the first line of the error message suggest to me that maybe you referred to a class incorrectly in your source code.

Error message when loading Garageband 2.0.1 -NEED HELP!!!

I currently have Garageband v1.1.0 and was in the process of loading all the updates.
I tried to load Garageband 2.0.1 and received this message:
"Garageband_201 cannot be installed on this computer. An eligible Garageband application was not found in /Applications".
I looked in the /Application directory and there was a Garageband (one with the guitar icon) there.
Can anyone tell why this is happening????? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

You need GarageBand 2.0 to upgrade to 2.0.1
This version can be had in the iLife 05 set, which is well worth the investment. GarageBand 2 is a fantastic upgrade.

Unknown error message when trying to update or download Apps?

Hello! I have had no problems till now, and have been happily downloading and updating for 9 months. Yesterday I received an unknown error message when I tried to update an App on my IPad 2, and have since been unable to update or download. Have tried closing down and restarting, changing password, and usual things. Any good ideas? Does this happen often? Everything is working, I simply can't download from App store. Thank you for any helpful suggestions.

I tried using the downloaded update. It still didn't work but at least I did not have to restart my computer. The message was a little different too: "The installation failed. The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

Run through this list of fixes, either something is corrupted or you have malware that's blocking the update.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Make sure to backup your users files to a external storage drive first (not only TimeMachine as it may fail to restore) and disconnect, because if' it's a drive corruption/failing then the entire thing will either have to be replaced or a wipe and install done.

i keep receiving an unknown error (-1) when i am trying to update. My iPad is not even a year old and it saying that it may be a hardware issue? what gives?

Error -1
Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
