IPhone :: Cannot Connect To Itunes To Restore As I Get Error "itunes Cannot Find Disk"
Apr 16, 2012
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"
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?

I dropped my phone and the touch screen has stopped working, it's not cracked at all simply doesn't respond to my touch. It has been suggested that restoring to factory settings may fix the problem though when I go to connect to iTunes it's not connecting to my phone as I need to enter the password. I have tried turning the phone off but this will just restart when it's connected to the computer.
I've recently bought an iphone 4s, but I'm having trouble synching my itunes to my iphone. It seems to synch for a few moments, the top of my itunes tells me that it's synching 'step 2 of 5' for example, but it never completes it, and my music never appears on my iphone.
It says that the iphone could not be synched because the required disk could not be found. Itunes is not the default player for audio files, could this have something to do with it?
Cannot restore my brand new iphone 4s ,got stuck in DFU mode and itunes shows error code (-1). Repeatedly tried from different computers and the same error code pops up (error -1).
I have been having network issues with my iPhone 4S (the carrier name is stuck at "searching...") so i decided to restore the phone. But it ends with an error code (1). Is this to do with hardware or can be fixed through software.
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."
