I used to be able to sync my iphone 4 to itunes with no problems, all of a sudden every time I plug it in I get a message that says itunes can't read the contents of my iphone, restore to factory settings. I do not want to restore it and lose all of my information on the phone. I have tried a different usb cable and port, and restarting the phone and neither one worked. I can sync and back up my phone on itunes again.

My sister installed the latest iOS 5 update (5.1.1) last night. Now whenever she connects the iPhone to her iTunes, she gets the following message :- " iTunes cannot read the contents of 'iPhones 3GS'. Go to summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings. " We have both googled this and cannot find any alternative to a factory restore. However, we found cases where iPhone users with this issue have done the restore only for it to only work one time and the next sync gives the warning again.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI bought a couple of ebooks at the iTunes Store a little while ago and can not read them on my iphone 4s. Yes I have dowloaded "iBooks" and when I go to Newsstand these books do not appear. Fist of all I had down loaded the books from iTunes>Store On my Macbook to load into my iPhone. So in order to read these books on iPhone am I supposed to purchase them through iTunes Store on my iPhone explicitly? Is that the only way I get to read them on my iphone? Ad if so, then why does iTunes seel them from iTunes Store on my Macbook?

Itunes won't pickup my iphone 4s as a device, how I can fix this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedEvery time I connect my phone to my laptop (Windows 8 system), iTunes tells me it can't read the contents of the phone and suggests resetting it. basically bordering on the obscene amount. If I had to pick an actual number of times, I'd say at least 20 over a week's time. Every single time I set up the phone, either from a back up or as a new phone, neither option fixes the problem, iTunes says it's syncing and then syncs nothing to the phone like it says it has. I usually try syncing a few more times just in case, but it never puts anything on the phone. I've uninstalled all Apple programs from my computer and re-installed them, I've taken my phone to the store I bought it at and had a completely new phone sent to me, I've reset it a billion times, I've turned it off and back on again, I've made sure to use the eject button every time I unplug the phone from the computer, I've checked to make sure I have the latest software updates, I use the cord from Apple and not a copycat version, and still every time (except for right after reset, before unplugging for the first time) iTunes says it can't read my phone and I need to reset it.

How can I read Adobe digital edition type media (books) on my iphone that I did NOT download through Apple or iTunes? They are from another source. All the apps I find want me to download from them, not read or import existing material.

Everytime I plug my iPhone 4s into my computer and try to sync with iTunes, I get an error saying, "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone "xxxx", Go to the summary tab in iPhone options and click restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings". I have done this and still get the same problem. I use Windows 7. I have tried running both on and off administrator mode and with and without my Zonealarm firewall.

I have Yahoo on my iPhone, right? When I read an email in my Yahoo account on my iPhone, and later log into my Yahoo account, it shows those messages as read. Heck, I can even file my emails away in my folders, if I want to; i.e. move them over to my bills folder, or my purchases folder, or my mom folder.Now, here's the deal with my other account tho. I have my work emails going to my iPhone too. At work, I use Outlook. I do not know a whole lot about how things are set up over here, but I have access to answers if you guys can help me find out the right questions to ask. When I read a work email on my iPhone, and I get to work the next morning, there it is, bold and unread. I really want it to show as read. I get an obnoxious amount of work emails. The whole point in keeping up with them on my phone is to save me time in the long run. So, when I get to work and have to re-read them all, I've saved nothing. Also, it would be phenomenal if you could also help me find a way to toss work emails in folders I have set up on my Outlook, as well.Dial NumberMember LookupQuery HistoryStart Member Query?

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.

I see that there is a Kindle app for the Iphone. Being a book worm I first was jumping for joy. I thought that books were going to be really cheap since they don't have to print anything. I was thinking new releases maybe $2.99 and old books $1. Boy was I wrong.
So am I looking at the Kindle books correctly as far as price? They seem just a little cheaper but not that much cheaper than real books.

Can I read mail in my inbox without downloading newmail from the server? I would like to be able to open Mail and read an email without it downloading new emails and using up data and battery -I'd rather set it to manually do that. There's a feature to "fetch manually" but either it is not working or I am misunderstanding how it works. Everytime I open Mail it checks the server. I played around with turning on and off Fetch and Push. Seems unfortunate that I might not be able to read an email in my inbox without downloading unknown large emails while traveling where data and battery are sometimes difficult to manage.

I have an old iphone 3gs and I'd like to read my epub books n the phone. I own a lot of epbus that I got from all over the net(mostly via torrent) I don't have these books in any web library or bookstore sites. I just have the files on my notebook. I read then on my notebook using calibre. Calibre is nice but 'd like to read the books on the go, on the phone. Â
I tried Blufire but when I added my epub ebooks on itunes and synced they didn't get transfered to the Bluefire app on my phone. The same happened w/ Ebook reader. Â
