IPhone :: 3GS Will Not Turn On And The ITunes Says "error 2001"
Jun 29, 2012
Last week my phone just turned off out of nowhere and after a whole night charging. when it turns on the apple logo appears and then it goes off again - even if still charging. when i conect it to my mac it says that i should conect to itunes. it stayed updating the softweare for nearly two hours, then i couldn't turn it on again, neither the apple logo appeared...i tried again and it didn't work because the itunes looks for an update and then says "unkown error (2001)"...i receted it millions of times with the home and power buttons, but nothing happened.
The most annoying thing is that I was in a technical assistance store and because my phone is out of warranty, I would have to send by mail to another city - paying $ 300.00 (!!!) in order to fix it. curiously my iphone's (3GS 16mb) invoice date is 22/06/2010 and (what about that?!) my cell phone crashed on last Thursday night ... (maybe midnight?) that day was ... 22/06/2012. coincidence?
Iphone4 on my table, then when i checked it was off.. tried to search all the possibilities, and do it step by step by restoring my phone on itunes,then when restoring my phone on itunes "unknown error (2001)" appeared..
My iPhone 3GS is in restore mode error 2001 but, I have connected my phone to three different computers and they all keep saying error code (2001) . I have restarted the computer multiple times. What do I do next?
I followed the unlocked instruction from AT&T to restore my 3GS iPhone from factory settings. After completing restoring, follow the steps to set up the phone and stuck at activation screen. I inserted AT&T SIM card and connected to iTune but still failed to activate with following error message on iTune: "There is no SIM card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate. Please disconnect and insert a SIM card in the iPhone." I have retry several times (including disconnect and reinsert the sim) but no luck.
my iphone turn on and turn off but it gaves me i tunes usb at the screen,im try to restore many times buts it gave me the same results < i tunes usb at the screen>
Info: iPhone 3G, Windows XP, my iphone turn on and turn off but
after dropping my Iphone 4 on the floor it can't connect to my PC, the error i am getting in Itunes is "Itunes was not able to establish connection to this iphone, caused by unknown error 0xE8000001". Itunes suggest to go into an applestore and get it solved but since third party has replaced the screen will apple not touch it....I have tred to uninstall itunes after closing down a few apple files via "task manager" and hard restored the Iphone but the phone will not acctivate, only get to the screen saying "connect to itunes". when i plug in a fully functional USB cable in a fully functional USB plug in my PC (windows 7, 64bit) does the phone connect and disconnect with the PC a few times, sometimes it keep on connecting/disconnecting but when the phone able to establish connection do i get a box saying "error 0xE8000001" and when clicking on the phone can i see its charging the battery but no possibilities to make a firmware restore or anything els. (have only the option to "eject" the iphone). is it possible to go one more step back than "hard restore" so the phone need to reinstall all hardware ect ect?
Error Message: iTunes could not back up the iPhone because an error occurred. The thing is - I have no idea what error have I encountered! Usually, I would assume the previous backup file is corrupted and I will proceed to delete the old backups. I did the same this time round, and it's still unable to sync. Now I have no more backup files!I have tried -
1. Deleting old backup files.
2. Restarting iPhone 4S & iMAC.
3. Remove
I am using iOS 5.1 on iPhone 4S, and iTunes 10.6.1 on Mac OSX Lion. My phone is not jail-broken in the first place.
Info: iMAC 27", Mac OS X (10.6.4), 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
i restored my iphone4 to factory settings because it was running slow and some apps werent working. My phone is now stuck in repair mode and is continually rebooting itself. I know the usual solution would be to restore via itunes but itunes will not allow me to do anything as i get the error "itunes cannot find disk"
I've got a 16GB 3GS running iOS 4.0 and all of a sudden today the phone refuses to back up. iTunes is giving me the error "iTunes cannot back up the iphone because an error occurred."
It continues to sync after that and move apps and music around, but it won't back up. I tried again after that and it wouldn't sync calendars, contacts, notes, etc. Whats going on here?By the way this is on a Macbook with the newest updates for Snow Leapord and iTunes.
My iphone was on and the next minute i looked and it had just turned itself off It had at least 50% battery when it went off I have tried to reset it using the lock button and home button this does not work I have also tried connecting it to Itunes yet the computer won't even recognise that it is even connected the computer Is there anything i can do or do i just need to take it in to a shop?
II'm getting so impatient with my iphone 5, it started turning off randomly, then it started coming up with a damaged screen like a virus so I reset and erased the whole phone and it wouldn't turn back on, it's been off for 2 days now and the only thing it does is flash the apple symbol on the charger.
Do I get another phone or what? I've tried the hard reset as well.
i have an iphone 4s .. when i made an update it stopped working and give me an error (26) and hang on recovery mode (cable & itunes) i tried to make restore many times but in vaini tried to change cable & my laptop and tried on mac but never worked always give me error (26)
I wonder is buying music on iTunes is a bad idea because of the format issue. I can buy a album in iTunes but then Im stuck with it in itunes format unless I do some extra research on a converter.
This seems retarded when I can buy a album on CD baby and get it as an immediate mp3 download that I can easily move to the iPhone threw iTunes but then also place it on my wifes Centro.
Is there any reasons why a person would buy from iTunes versus some where else?
There is this 2G iPhone that is (almost?) bricked.
As far as I know, the phone did work until recently, was not dropped, but suddenly got stuck at this screen:
The owner is not computer savvy, and is unsure whether the firmware has been updated (by chance or not).
Right now the phone is stuck at the "Restore needed" screen. What have I done so far: Put it in DFU, iTunes finds is, and tells me it needs to be restored; I have downloaded the 1.1.4, 2.2, and 3.1.2 firmwares for the 2G; I have tried to SHIFT+RESTORE many times, and every single time it ends up giving me error 23.
I tried all of the above-mentioned firmwares, have tried with iTunes 9.0.3, 8.2 and 7.5 MANY times - with the same result: Error 23.
There is something interesting: when I tap the "i" on the screen, it shows a windows that says: IMEI: Unknown, and ICCID: Unknown
I have searched online for a whole day now, and people say that this is related to a hardware problem with the modem; others said that it could be fixed by flashing w/ older firmware and older iTunes version - both of which I have tried.
So bottom line is that after all I have tried I am still nowhere. And ideas what else I could try?
My iPhone is jb on 3.1.2 and I have the latest version of iTunes (9.1.1.12) and for some reason it will take forever to backup or it won't transfer any of my apps from my iPhone. The hard drive on my laptop was damaged so I had to have it replaced along with the re-installation of vista so my songs, pics, etc were transfered except for any program which could not be done. Ibtried to use iTunes 9.0.1 but it said some new file was installed by a newer version of iTunes so it would not open, i tried rebooting my phone, iTunes, and even the laptop but it does not help, I have tried googling it and searching here on the forums and found no answer. So what can I do to fix it, I need a working backup and I need my apps or else I have download about 105 apps which will be annoying and long. I think I heard something about the newest iTunes which I have does not allow jb iPhones to sync.
I am trying restore my iPhone 4 (CDMA) because I couldn't remember my passcode and I did upgrade to 5.1. Every time I try to restore, it stops at restoring firmware and errors out "iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. Unknown error occured (1)." I have tried reinstalling iTunes, unplugging all USB devices, restarting my computer, a different USB port, a different computer, and entering DFU. But none of these worked.
I am having problems with my iPhone. I am try to restore it to 5.1 and on the screen where it says "Waiting for iPhone", the screen will just show iTunes error 9. I already tried to uninstall (All Apple products on my Windows --- in order) and re-install iTunes (with PC restart) and I am still getting the same error.
Since 3 days I try to restore my iphone 4s in itunes but it does not work. It started with the problem that I did not get connection to the mobile net..... so I tried to restore it in itunes 10.6.1 with firmware 5.1.I followed all advices (no firewall, no virus detection, change hosts)
I recently have set up my new iphone and everything was working fine until i set up my ituens account. I can access the app store and itunes but when I try to download any app (free or paid) I get a message saying "cannot connect to itunes."
