    my iphone says an unknown error occurred (9) when trying to restore in iphone recovery mode

    Hey there ejs11201,
    I see that you are getting an error code when attempting to restore your iPhone. Here is an article that addresses that specific code with some troubleshooting steps and will help you resolve the issue:
    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't blocking a connection to the Apple servers.

  • TS1436 I keep getting unknown error occured(4450) when trying to burn a CD...running Windows Vista, any help would be appreciated

    I keep getting unknown error occured(4450) when trying to burn a CD, running Windows Vista...any help would be apprciated.

    I had this issue to when trying to burn discs recently. I went into the CD creation settings in iTunes and I "unchecked" the option to "Include CD Text" and after I did that, the disc I had been trying to burn several times with error, actually burned without fail. Give that a try and see what happens.

  • Unknown error occured (310) when trying to connect to itunes store

    Unknown error occured (310) when trying to connect to itunes store

    This is probably due to a connection error.
    I fixed this by navigating this route:
    Control Centre > Network and Internet > Internet Options > Connections Tab > LAN Settings > Untick proxy server box (if ticked).
    Hope this solved your problem!

  • An unknown error occurred (-1) when trying to update my iPad to iOS7.

    Last night I attempted to update my iPad 2 to iOS7. At some point during the process, the iPad locked up and I was presented with a screen instructing me to plug into iTunes for a system restore. I did so and after approximately 10 minutes, I received the following message, 'The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1)'. I have since re-tried about a dozen times to restore and keep ending with the same message. Is this just a case of the servers being overwhelmed? Should I try again in a few days when things calm down? Or has the update killed my iPad? Do I need to take it to the Apple store?
    Thanks Apple... Frustration level is off the chart.

    I am facing the same issue, have you had luck getting it solved?

  • Unknown error occurred (-23) when trying to update to ios 5

    When I tried to update my iphone to ios5, I get the error message: There was a problem downloading the software for the iphone. An unknown error occurred (-23).
    I have already updated itunes to the newest ver 10.5 already and I never had any issues updating my iphone 4 to the newest IOS previously.
    Anyone has any idea how to resolve this issue? Thanks.

    I just got off the phone with an apple support assistant pertaining to error -23. For myself, it is due to internet settings that my ISP provides that prevents the upgrade. (Are you in Singapore with the ISP Singtel? The apple support assistant specifically mentioned Singtel users as having the -23 error.) The apply support assistant adviced me to wait out for 2 business days and then see if I can upgrade. I hope this is the case for you too.
    Otherwise, error -23 means either a hardware error or improperly configured settings, which shouldn't be the case if you have itunes 10.5 and the latest osx build.

  • Error (13013) message when trying to open itunes.........

    I have just installed itunes - and now it says 'The itunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occured (13013)'
    Any ideas?
    I want to play with my new Ipod touch

    I am not certain bout this particular error number but it may be related to your library.
    Try deleting the file "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" in your iTunes folder
    If that doesn't work, try rebuilding your library.
    Drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml out of your iTunes folder.
    Start iTunes, hopefully it will start with an empty library. Use this article to recreate your library:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
    Let me know if either works as I would like to document this error number.

  • Error message 13005 when trying to open iTunes

    Hi, my iTunes updated over the weekend and now will not open. I get the following error message.
    "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unkown error occurred (13005)."
    Have completly uninstalled iTunes and re installed. Have uninstalled and installed an older version of itunes. Tried moving my Library file to my desktop to re install it (but couldn't open itunes to re install it). Tried deleting all genius files etc.
    Followed every idea I've seen on the forum but to no avail! I run my library on a timecapsule.....saw something about a potential problem with a firm wear update but no solution....
    Anyone got any ideas?
    thanks

    Message numbers in the 13000 range are usually do to a problem with Genius. I have seen 2 totally different fixes posted here in the forums. edit - Sounds like you already tried method 1.
    *Method 1*
    Rename these files, or delete them
    iTunes Library Genius.itdb
    iTunes Library Extras.itdb
    Try opening iTunes again. And turn off Genius as fast as you can. You can turn it back on later, but first get iTunes running.
    *Method 2*
    Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
    Choose iTunes, press the Change button and then the repair button.

  • Unknown error occured (-15000) when trying to connect to AppleTV.

    Hi all
    I used Apple TV 2 to Airplay music files into a hifi system from iTunes (WIndows 7 through a wifi connection). After AppleTV did a software upgrade couple of months ago Airplay stopped working and I get "an uknown error occured (-15000)" after a few seconds of "connecting to "Apple TV" in iTunes. Interestingly, movie files in iTunes still wok fine and stream. It also works the other way around - if i try to play music through Homesharing on the AppleTV. Then I tried my iPad and same issue - music files won't stream but movie files do.
    Desperately looking for a solution. Please help.
    Thanks!

    Did you ever get a response to this as I have the same problem?  Thanks Derek

  • Keep getting "Error code 600" when trying to open itunes.Lost my tunes??:(

    I left my computer on for a couple of days and had closed down itunes. when i tried to open it back up the " error code 600" came up and i cant get to my music. can anyone help me!

    wmv is a Windows Media format.  I don't know why Realplayer is coming into it since that deals primarily with Real format files and maybe a few generic formats.
    You need
    Free Flip4mac QuickTime player components - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
    After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences.  Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.
    or play the files with VLC
    VLC media player - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - general media player that plays just about anything.
    While you're at it you might install:
    Perian codecs for Quicktime - http://www.perian.org - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
    Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669 - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.
    Perian doen't do WMV but it's handy to get many things to play in Quicktime.
    Note, if these are protected WMV, nothing on a Mac will play those (unless you also have Windows installed).
