Some users reported that every time they connect their iPhones to iTunes, they receive a message: “ITunes cannot read the content of the user's iPhone. Go to Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings.
For some, the same message appears even when connecting your iPad or iPod Touch, asking to restore their devices. Despite this, if they have restored your device, they know that this is not the answer. So, if you haven't restored it yet, DO NOT RESTORE YOUR DEVICE. Instead, follow the steps below. They will fix this problem affecting your iDevice.
This solution is tested and will work on your iPhone, iPad o iPod Touch.
Method 1: corrected “iTunes cannot read the content of your iPhone” using you iDevice
What has happened here is that an iTunes control or a preferences file has been corrupted in some way. And it would be nice if Apple had created an option to fix this in iTunes. Changing the control file or preferences on your iDevice may cause your music library to be deleted. But, all contacts, notes, Applications, etc. will be intact and well. Despite this, this is the first method to fix the problem.
-
First, disconnect your iDevice from the computer, if you have it connected.
-
Try to delete only one song from your playlist and turn off your iDevice. Hopefully, this will overwrite the corrupt database file.
-
Now, turn it back on and connect to your computer by running iTunes.
-
Check if this method works.
If this procedure did not give the desired results, check the following.
Method 2: corrected “iTunes cannot read the content of your iPhone” usando i-FunBox
Before carrying out this method, note this will delete your music library. Everything else (contacts, notes, Applications, etc.) will remain the same as before.
-
Download and install i-FunBox. This tool enables you to control the iPhone file system from your computer. Its use is free and you can find it at i-funbox.com.
-
Connect your iDevice to your computer via USB cable and close iTunes.
-
Launch i-FunBox on your computer and search for iTunesDB or iTunesCDB. They should appear in the folder “/ where / mobile / Media / iTunes_Control / iTunes”.
-
Now, rename iTunesCDB, iTunesControl and iTunesPrefs. (iTunesCDB> iTunesCDB.old, iTunesControl> iTunesControl.old y iTunesPrefs> iTunesPrefs.old). If for some reason you cannot rename these files, try to remove them as a last resort.
Note: It is always better to rename these files. In case you need to go back and restore them later, you can easily do it by returning the old names to them. At the same time, be sure NOT to delete or rename anything other than these 3
-
Now, disconnect your device from the computer and connect it again.
-
Launch iTunes and check if this method fixed the error.
Method 3 (only for jail iDevice devices): corrected “iTunes cannot read the content of your iPhone” you just Fileed
If you have an iPhone, iPad o iPod Touch con jailbreak, you can fix this error using iFile.
-
Launch iFile on your iDevice.
-
Browse to: & amp; quot; / where / mobile / Media / iTunes_Control / iTunes & amp; quot;
-
Now, rename iTunesCDB, iTunesControl and iTunesPrefs. (iTunesCDB & amp; gt; iTunesCDB.old, iTunesControl & amp; gt; iTunesControl.old y iTunesPrefs & amp; gt; iTunesPrefs.old). If for some reason you cannot rename these files, try to remove them as a last resort.
-
Connect your iDevice to iTunes to test if that fixed the error.
