You can dowload the songs you purchased from iTunes (given you haven't downloaded 4 times yet). Any other content you had that was not backed up is gone. And now that you erased your phone also, you can't even use it to put your content back in iTunes. I feel bad for you, please tell me you backed up your content before you formatted...Mark

Update: You can't redownload your purchased iTunes content. You get one download and are able to back it up four times, not download four times. Sorry for the misinformation...Mark

I still have all my multimedia files, those were backed up and put back on my computer after it was refornatted.

i tried to use the pc suite, then it gave me the initial 03x error..

so then i tried to just add songs to the iphone, and thats when it happened last night:

on my iphone, when i open the ipod it says: " no music"
altough, on my itunes on the computer when my iphone is connected, it shows that my iphone has 11 GB of "other" space on my i phone.. (11gb is the amout of songs i tried to add yesterday)

so for somereason its on the iphone, but not reading it correctly or something... all the audio files are on the computer, so this morning i tryed syncing the music, but it says " you are trying to add 11gb of music, you only have 3gb available"

I don't know what to tell you from this point. I'm not trying to be an a** but this is what sometimes happens, when you install renegade software on your phone. You may have to restore and unlock again. Ask the guys in the Mod section, they could probably be more of a help to you...Mark

Wow very strange problem you are having. Like I said try the Mod section of the forum, those guys and Gals will probably have an answer for you...Good Luck, Mark

I did a bit of searching and found some users having similar issues with their phones and iPhone PC Suite. It's a possibility your problem has to do with the way Ziphone is used to jailbreak. Ziphone is an evil lil jailbreak tool. There are lots of threads that will tell you how it's messed with people's phones. It rewrites code and can cause permanent damage.

I couldn't find anything close to what happened with your phone. Alot of it was iTunes wouldn't recognize the iphone being connected after the fix was installed. Like Swagger said, "I don't know what to tell you at this point"

I'll keep looking to see if i can find anything else.

thanks.. also i downloaded iphone browser for my computer. and under the root tab, i saw this "com.apple.itunes.lock_sync" icon, says its 0 bytes and is an unknown file type... would that have anything to do with it?

cliffeman · 09-08-2008, 07:12 PM

No, that should say 0 bytes. I have that file too located at /private/var/mobile/Media
