I seem to remember removing that way back in Leopard for the same problem.
I was hot to mention that (it worked back in Tiger for me), but this comment from the OP made me think again ...
just like when I got leopard
...so, I figured that tree had already been circled.
I'm anxious to bank these tips just in case Help quits in SL on me...holding my breath.

    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.

    what is the green next to apps composed of when you sync your phone?

    Hi steven1098,
    If you are referring to the green portion of the status bar at the bottom of iTunes that indicates current usage and available capacity, that portion (the green section) represents the spaced used by your apps themselves. You may find the following article useful:

  • Is it best to fully charge the battery when you first get your laptop

    Is it best to fully charge the battery when you first get your laptop?
    I remember buying a bluetooth earpiece and I had to do that in order get the most out of the battery due to the memory it has or something like that..
    are macbooks the same??

    I agree. I HATE having to wait for the battery to charge on my new Palms and Macs before using them - I guess GOD teaches us patience in strange ways (hee, hee).

  • What are the implications of changing your Apple id when you own multiple devices?

    Hi There,
    I would like to change my regular email service provider and instead use only my new gmail address. My apple id is the same as my regular soon to be replaced email address. I understand that in the past you could not change your apple id but you could change the email address associated with the apple id. However now it seems that you can change your apple id and by this I dont mean getting a new one, I simply mean editing the old one and infact Apple encourages people to make sure that their Apple id and email address are the same. So, my questions is considering the fact that I own multiple Apple devices (iPhone, iMac and iPad), what will the implications be of doing this and what do I need to consider before I change my Apple id to my new Gmail address? I know for example that apps are apparently permanently associated with a single Apple id so I guess I will have to redownload and pay for them. But what do I need to do on my iPhone, iMac and iPad to make sure that iMessage, iCloud etc is unaffected and continue to work properly. I guess for a start I need to tell everyone who communicates with me via iMessage that they have to use a new Apple id for example. I am worried that a change like this will cause mayhem among my devices and I'll regret it. Right now I have kept my old Apple id and simply added an alternate email address to my account that being my new Gmail address. Maybe its simpler to keep it this way. Thanks in advance for the words of wisdom. Cheers.

  • What is the minimum requirements for my Intel based iMac to upgrade to Snow Leopard (and beyond)?

      SMC Version (system): 1.30f1
    So I installed 10.5.8, now I want to upgrade to Snow Leopard (10.6). Is this not possible? I did this before but the install CD give the message that it is not possible. Do I forget something?
    Any help is welcome,
    Victor

    Your computer meets all the requirements, but you need to use a retail DVD to upgrade. A different Mac model's original disks won't work.

  • Why is the "Show Item Info" feature not working on 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?

    Under the Show View Options menu in Finder, I have repeatedly attempted to get the "Show Item Info" feature to work. Yet instead of the item info, it just adds some transparent spacing where the file info is supposed to be. The "Show Item Info feature is checked, so what's going on?

    I was talking about the feature that displays how many files are in a folder and the dimensions of a picture.

  • Will I lose all the information currently on my Mac when I load OSX Snow Leopard

    Will I lose the information currently on my computer when I download OSX Snow Leopard.

    You can't download Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard is distributed on DVD, not online.
    Even so, when you upgrade to Snow Leopard, it keeps your applications, users and personal data intact. You won't lose it.
