    Tried with my Vista, phone is still locked :-/ Everytime I do an apple update this happens. Not jailbroken, do everything by the book and I’m ready to throw this phone out. So frustrating. Any suggestions? Updated all drivers, tried everything and every video out there and still frozen on the itunes connection screen.

    Hey Chris, I appreciate your frustration but unfortunatley I’m not aware of what other problems there are as this method has always seen me well. You might need to speak to Apple or ask in their forums. All I can say is good luck and keep looking, there will be a solution somewhere, it’s just a matter of trying to find it through everything else. Searching for your particular error codes might also be an idea.
