  19. outstanding this really helped me out i was having this so i looked it up and bam man i love the internet

    1. We do too, Alon, but we love helping people out with their iPhones even more! Glad it helped you out!

  20. HAHA you wont believe this but I got this error when I was doing this: I was charging my ipod touch and I noticed i got some shocks from it when I was charging so I played around with it putting 2 fingers on it and then 1 to get the shock. After that I picked up 2 metal rings that are used for magic tricks. I was thinking hmm lets see what happens. So I started moving them along the ipod and taking them off and all that and during that process I heard the ipod connection sound (the sound the ipod makes when you charge it) and I was like lol and I kept going and it was spamming that sound haha so fun! and the ”ipod is connected” pop up kept poping up. Then allasudden Itunes poped up and it doesn’t do that usally so I tried x-ing it out but it wasn’t answering so i did ctrl+alt+delete then tried again and the error came over and over again when I tried LOL!!!!

  22. I followed all your steps and now its not giving that error but still not detecting my iPhone..

  23. I experienced the same thing and googled this and picked this. The first solution does not seem like it would do anything and im not wasting $30 on a new cord. The second one did not work at all, it was just a waste of time. The third one, shut down your device and reboot it, did work although I dont know why or how, but it just did. Thanks to the creator of this and i am using iTouch 2nd gen

  24. Thanks it worked it solved my problem it was the 3rd tip that worked for me
    after many nights with no sleep

  25. None of these tips has helped me! 🙁 my iphone is frozen, and will not turn off. it will not be recognised by itunes. it does not show up in ‘my computer’ as a device. i have reinstalled itunes. tried all foru of your solutions. i have even done as ‘don smith’ says, and still the error code comes up. what to do??

  26. Thank you very much for your tips. They helped. It was the 3rd tip that did the trick for me. My issue was with the iPhone 3G.

  28. changing cable to the Apple supplied iPhone cable worked perfectly. Just took overnight.

  29. thanx guys…really helped me…..the solution for me was the swich off for ten seconds…thank you again….hope more people get helped by you

  31. Thank you very much for this information. I tried everything but your tips helped me out. For me the 3rd tip was the one that solved the problem! You are a legend! Thanks again

  32. I called Apple with the same problem, and their fix worked for me after your first solution above didn’t work and I didn’t want to reinstall iTunes: Go to Start, type in Services (with a capital S), click on Services, locate Apple Mobile Device, Stop it, Start it, and that seemed to fix the problem for me.

  33. Thank you SO much for this! I received this error message on my iPod Touch, not an iPhone, but the solution worked great. I powered-off while plugged into my laptop, then back on….re-connected to iTunes right away! I’m kind of annoyed that I didn’t figure it out myself.
