Go to the summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings". I have reset the iPhone all possible ways, rebooted, uninstalled/installed iTunes, have double clicked to change name, doesn't synch. I need to get my music and photos back on my device, but I cannot seems to do so. After clicking restore, it blows the device away, then I still get the error. Help?

I'm have the same problem... just updated to iOS4 on my 3G. Everything synced fine after a few problems with the backup process. The only data that was not transferred was my music to iPod. When I hooked back up to download the music I received the "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone" I have not restored back to the factory settings. Any suggestions... I don't want to lose the data on the phone.
