Upgrading 3GS to OS4 error message 1603 wont restore and complete crash.

I tried to update today and I have all the system requirements but while in the process iTunes gave me an error message 1603 saying it wasn't possible to restore or upgrade my OS. Now my phone is in a state of blankness. How do I get it back to its original state? Please Help!

Same here, But when I went to the Apple Store I was told the fix was purchasing a new phone... I have followed all the Tech Supports suggestions... I sooo dont want to buy a new phone this one is only a year old :0(

Anybody recieve error message 1603 while restoring?

My iPhone has become frozen during the restore process... all I get is a yellow caution sign telling me connect to iTunes. When I do, following the restore application, i get the unknown error message 1603, and that the phone can't be restored. Anyone out there know what to do?

I allowed my iphone battery to fully discharge and upon recharging got the error message with a large exclamation mark “please connect to itunes”. When I connected to itunes I was told that the phone was in recovery mode and needed to be reloaded. Itunes went out and downloaded the new firmware and began the install process after I approved the input screen that said it would wipe out all my data. 1/3 of the way through the process I received a message box that told me the process had failed to restore the iphone for an unknown error (number 1603).
After looking online and calling ATT as well as Apple the best solution I received was to send the iphone in for replacement (i am 5 hours from an apple store). After fiddling around I have managed to solve the problem on my own.
After trying everything else with no results, I pulled the SIM card out of the iphone and plugged the iphone into my computer. Itunes then reloaded the software and firmware successfully. I then put the SIM card back in and synced it up with itunes and it asked me to confirm the resync. Afterwards it just worked fine.
My iphone works again!

Error Message 1603

I’ve followed all the instructions to upgrade my ISScript Installer but I still get error message 1603, and can’t upgrade iTunes to v6. I also can’t purchase songs until I upgrade. You would think that Apple would take care of this asap. Once and for all, what’s going on, and how do I correct it? It looks like I’ll be buying my music elsewhere and playing MP3’s on my iPod.

hi James!
The install script engine on this machine is older than the version required to run this setup. If available, please run the latest version of ISScript.msi, or contact your support personnel for further assistance.
okay. checking on something further now. (i couldn't quite determine this from your original post.)
which InstallShield document advice did you implement?
was it:
Setup Is Unable To Find or Update ISScript.msi
... or:
Update to the Latest InstallShield Installation Engines
if it was the latter one, which version of the InstallShield Engine did you install?
love, b

TDFields you will want to ensure the 7z and exe file are in the same folder/directory. You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

Error 1603
Follow the steps listed below for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

Question: i upgraded to Lion and now itune upgrade will not install (error message appears)

i upgraded to Lion and now itune upgrade will not install (error message appears)

iPhoto needs to be upgraded in order to work with Mavericks. You can do that via Software Update or the App Store.
The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.
Upgrading iPhoto does not involve your iPhoto Library. Your photos will still be there. But it never hurts to make a backup first.

Perky --
You do not need any "Cleaner" app for Macs. I would not be at all surprised if that didn't actually damage your Mac, especially if it were MacDefender. Applejack is OK, but I'm not sure what it erased. Do you know?
You also don't need any Virus Barrier. That could also mess things up.
The fact that all of your browsers are now messed up indicates that it is not a Safari problem, but more system-wide.

I receive this error message "The operation cannot be completed because the original item for "backup" cannot be found.

I performed a clean install of Lion, then upgraded to Yosemite. Now, i am trying to restore files and programs from my backup in my time capsule but when i connect to the backup folder i receive this error message "The operation cannot be completed because the original item for "backup" cannot be found.
I previously had mavericks installed and was able to backup and restore just fine. I do believe that within the time since i last performed a backup or restore there was an update for the time capsule that i ran using my iPhone. I need a solution to this issue.

Yosemite can take a very long time to index the backup.. and it seems to be impossible in my own testing to get back beyond the latest one.
If you cannot manage a migration.. which I guess is what you are trying to do.. see if you can do a full restore to a USB drive plugged into your computer.

ERROR Message "UNABLE TO OPEN" and "E_IO_Cannot_Open"

Trying to download 6 ebooks from Hive and I can download the acsm file but when I click that I get an error message "Unable To Open" and "E_IO_Cannot Open." The computer is authorised and uses Win 7 with ADE 3. I tried ADE 4 but no better. I have an older PC using Vista and ADE 2 and that will download okay but it is constantly being used so it is not convenient. Does anybody know what's wrong? Thanks.

Hello,
To try to help you, please, could you give some more informations ?
- the operating system (XP/Vista), the edition ( Pro/Home...) and the service pack
- usually, the installer installs the both files in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Sql Server\Samples. Is there any change in the location or have you moved the both files ?
- could you check with the files explorer , that the 2 files are read-write and not read only( find one file, right-click on it, properties and in the 1st tabpage, you should see a checkbox read-only ( if checked , unchecke it ) ?
- have you Sql Server Management Studio Express Edition ( at least SP1 ) ?
If no, download it and use it to attach
in the object explorer,
click on your instance to expand it
right click on databases
in the contextual menu, click on attach
in the new form,click on add
you arrive on a second form : find your file , click on it, and OK
it's the simplest way to attach ( the sp_-attach_db is complicated to type )
the error messages are sometimes more clear in SSMSEE than in Sqlcmd
Try also to attach ( thru SSMSEE or Sqlcmd but in using the windows authentification )
NB: i hope that you are not trying to attach AdventureWorks on a remote instance and on a remote computer ( it would explain access denied )
We are waiting for your feedback to try to help you more efficiently
Have a nice day
