"iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone "xxx's iPhone".
Go to the Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore
to restore this iPhone to the factory settings."
I have seen this message before, except with the iPhone replaced by iPod and it wasn't a fun adventure.
Here is the adventure:
1) Repaired iTunes - No Fix
2) Reinstalled iTunes - No Fix
3) Reset iPhone settings - No Fix
4) Erase All Content and Settings - Success (or so it seems).
iTunes now give me the option to restore my iPhone which I click. iTunes proceeds to freeze for 5+ minutes (shows "Not Responding" in Taskmgr). I end the task and open iTunes again. Now it doesn't ever see the iPhone.
Restart the PC again.
Get the restore option again, this time it works. The iPhone shows that it is restoring then reboots itself. iTunes show the iPhone but doesn't give me any sync options just shows the restore screen still.
GG iTunes, Restart AGAIN.
Ok, now iTunes automatically starts to sync with the iPhone but get 3 songs in before it says:
"The iPhone "xxx's iPhone" cannot by synced. The disk could not be read from or written to."
Well maybe it is just a one time thing. I click "Sync" and I get a new error message:
"The iPhone "xxx's iPhone" cannot be synced. The requested disc cannot be found."
The funny thing is that throughout this whole adventure Windows can detect and read the iPhone.
That is where I stand at the moment, taking any and all suggestions that might prevent a trip to the Apple Store for an RTM.
