It is going to be indicative of a hardware error or your iPhone has been previously jailbroken.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    Error 20, 21, 34, 37: These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. If you are using a PC, follow this article to resolve this issue.

    Next I would try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod. Note that this will erase the iPod. For recovery mode see:

  • HT1338 can't do latest update on mountain lion. comes up with error code.

    cant do latest update on mountain lion. comes up with error code

    Your profile shows you are running 10.7.4? Is that correct? If so, you cannot download Mountain Lion without purchasing it first. Please post back with the OS version you are actually running.

  • I tunes trys to sync and comes up with error message I tunes has stopped working, I tunes trys to sync and comes up with error message I tunes has stopped working

    Hi guys, Please help
    Just upgraded computer to Windows 7.  Installed latest version of ITunes. It installed and uploaded all my items in my library.
    Connected IPad2 and updated latest version.  However whenever it trys to sync my contents either to my IPad, my wifes IPad or my new Iphone4S, it simply comes up with error message.  I TUNES has stopped working.  Windows is checking for a solution to the problem... Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is found.  Urggh,  can anyone help

    This is similar to my dilemma I just posted:
    itunes has stopped working error msg after software updates?                                                                                        50 minutes ago                       
    I have removed Bonjour as well.
    I've had this happen other times when I've updated iTunes software on other systems too, to the extent that now I'm reluctant to ever Accept when it suggests I do so.  But I went ahead this time and sure enough I think I'll have to do a total reinstall.
    LOL, I don't think Windows has EVER found a solution to ANY system problem I've had which makes it mildly amusing when it acts like it's helping!

  • IPHONE 5 STUCK ON RECOVERY MODE TRIED DOWNLOADING UPDATE AND COMES UP WITH ERROR:3259

    iphone has gone to recovery mode after trying to update i have plugged it in to itunes and then tried downloading the new update whilst in recovery mode but from the 999mb file it gets to about 75mb stops and then comes up with the error code 3259
    HELP

    What exactly does the message say?
    Did you try googling the error? If I had to guess, I'd say it's probably a firewall or network problem.

  • I can't download to the io5 to my iphone as it comes up with error and now i can't even open any of my downloaded app or even make a phone call. Someone help me

    I have updated Itunes to 10.5 and was told my iphone has a new update so i did this until i got a message saying error i cannot update iphone. itunes then disconnected my phone and  has now left me with a phone i can't use.
    apps i have downloaded will not open
    i cant make phone calls
    phone turns itself off.
    will someone please help me.

    A wet phone is out of warranty. This is considered user damage. Even if you were able to get it to start now, the chances of it working for long are slim. I suggest going to Apple and see about an OOW replacement. One for the iPhone 4 is only $149USD and it would come with a short warranty. It is a refurbished device and you would not be worried about encountering additional problems.

  • Tryed to sync and update Iphone 3GS and it started as New phone HELP!

    I tryed to sync and update my Iphone 3GS to my macbook computer. In doing so, I think I pressed start as a new phone and now I dont have a phone please help!

    Go to iTunes/Settings/Devices and see if there is still a backup from the time before you synced the phone.
    If yes, use it to restore from: Backing Up, updating, and restoring your iPhone and iPod touch software
    If you're running TimeMachine as well, restore the iTunes backup folder, located here:
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac:~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

  • My ipod doesn't sync all the songs in my library and comes up with error messages. is the software corrupted?

    My ipod classic only syncs 25% of the tunes in my library (it has the capacity to do all of them). It also comes up with various error messages. Is this a software issue that can be fixed??

  • Merging contact groups on Iphone 3GS and sharing this with exchange server

    I`ve got one for you
    I`ve got a recently purchased Iphone, that I`ve just set up.
    Everything works fine.
    BUT, I first uploaded my contact from my previous Nokia from a private mail-account that I had used for back up for my old phone.
    Then I connected my Iphone to my outlook-mail on my exchange server at work.
    This means that I have got 2 groups in my contact list on my Iphone, which is ok.
    Yesterday I cleaned up my contact list on my phone in the "all contact" section on my phone. Deleting double registered contact cards and copying mail-adress or phone number from one of the double registered contact card to the other ( as one was from my previous phone and one was from my mail. )
    So now my contact list in "all contacts" are perfect.
    The question is, can I transfer this perfect contact list over to my outlook-account on the exchange server so this, which will be my only back up log, is the same as on my phone.
    The contacts which was already taken from the outlook-account has been updated as they should, but I had quite a few contact from my phone ( approximately 480 ) and I did not take into account when I "cleaned up" yesterday if I was deleting the contact card from my old phone of the contact card from the exchange server.
    Hopefully one of you has got a solution to my problem

    No - the iPhone keeps Exchange server contacts separate from 'local' contacts stored on the phone (synced via iTunes, imported from a SIM card, etc.).

  • Im trying to restore my iphone but it comes up with error 1015 .. what can i do to resolve this ?????

    im trying to restore my iphone to its factory settings but im having an error apear 1015 can any one help me ??

    That error indicates the phone is jailbroken or otherwise hacked.
    VERY rarely, it indicates a critical hardware failure.
    Discussing hacked or jailbroken phones is forbidden here by the terms of service.
    I'm afraid you're on your own.

    Your headline says iPhone 3GS, but your text says 3G.
    iPhone 3G is not compatible with iOS5. 3GS is.
