This makes no sense and has me enraged... (iphone related)

I have a home machine (ASUS G73JW, so a damn good machine) and a work machine, some HP corporate machine

Every single time i go to do an iOS update on the Asus machine it downloads fine, but ends up giving me "An unexpected error has occurred" which renders the phone/ipod in Recovery mode, and to make matters worse the machine no longer recognizes that the phone is plugged in at all

I hook it up to my work machine and i'm able to restore it, plug it back into my Asus and restore from backup.

Annoying but has worked. Until now. Apparently with the iOS 5 update, it is strongly recommended to upgrade it from the machine where you are synched with itunes since it deletes everything on the machine then restores apps, etc... from itunes.


I can't for the life of me figure out why it consistently fails on upgrade when it works just fine to transfer or charge the phone. I've tried different USB ports, different cables, and different devices. All have problems with this machine.

Any idea?

Make sure you don't have any entries other than 127.0.0.1 / localhost

If you've ever run certain iPhone utilities on your computer, it has modified your hosts file so it doesn't check with Apple for SHSH blobs.

You're not the only one that is has had this issue. If you posted or searched in the proper forum here, you might have found your answer.

I had possibly the same issue(can't tell without you telling the exact error code/message you're getting). After researching the error code on the Apple Support site, learned all I needed to do was delete a folder.
