5s 8.1 iOS: Restore errors 4005. Won't update or restore

Hi Guys,
I downloaded the 8.1 update via the latest iTunes and connected my 5s to update.
The update failed and i got the 4005 restore error: iOS: Restore errors 4005, 4013, and 4014
Now when turn on the 5s it just shows the symbol to connect to iTunes.
So I plug in and get this:
I click 'Restore' then get this
So I click 'Restore and Update', then I get Restore Error 4005 again and get stuck in an infinite loop!
I did create a backup yesterday so I'm not worried about any lost data.
I have deleted the update and I'm downloading again now. I will also try with a different USB cable and on a different PC.
Any suggestions or a fix would be much appreciated?
Thanks.

Also FYI: The USB cable is a new authentic Apple lighting cable
Okay so I deleted and downloaded the update via iTunes again, plugged in the 5s via USB and still get:
After Restore and Update: 'Extracting software...'
Then:
Then:
Then:
'Extracting software...
Then: Preparing iPhone for install.
Now:
And the 'Connect to iTunes symbol' disappears leaving the screen still turned on but all black.
Then after a few minutes:
Hope that helps...

IOS 6 Error - Unable to install update

I downloaded the IOS 6 update and clicked on Install Now. and click to Agree. It says verifying update and then I get the error "Unable to install update. An error occured installing IOS 6." I get a choice of Close or Settings. Both take me back to IOS 6 update screen. It does say it's downloaded.
I've tried turning the new iPad off and then back on. My current OS is 5.1.1 ((B206)
Help!

Not sure if this will help on iPads, but I was getting error message when I tried to "Install Update" on my iPhone 4s. Every time I would hit the Install button and agree to the terms I would get the pop up message that the "Software update not available at this time. Try again later." What I did was turn off wifi and went back to install and it worked! Well, it is currently off with black screen and apple logo with upgrade bar so we'll see. Hopefully no futher issues arise. Good luck everybody!

Unknown error 1645 won't update or sync

my ipod touch will not update the ios or sync because of unknown error 1645.
It keeps freezing up as well so I need to restart it or something...

Did you have modified software installed prior to the update? If yes, this could be a reason for this error. If putting it in recovery mode does not help, the jailbreak damaged your device.
iOS: Recovery mode

My iOS 6.1.6 won't update.

So, my iOS 6.1.6 keeps telling me I'm up to date. I know this is not true, and I would really like iOS 7. Does anyone know how I can get it?

As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

What is going on with new iOS 4.3.5 won't update my apps now

I don't freaking believe this, this new update, has made it impossible to update my apps... I went to update my apps, and they all moved out of the folder and all say waiting, for the past twenty minutes, but nothing is happening... Is anyone else experience troubles with this new iOS update?

I have the iPad 2 and before i updated to iOS 4.3.5 I was able to download apps from the App Store with no problems. Since updating...I can't update any apps or download any new ones. It just keeps saying waiting when I hit update for the app and when I try to download a new one it says "Can't access iTunes Store"...I hope I am not the only one with this problem but I also hope that it gets fixed quickly.

After updating to iOS 7 my apps won't update automatically?

I've updated to iOS 7 on my ipad with retina display. After the update I saw that I had 12 updates for my apps. When I went to the App Store, they just disappeared. Any one know how to fix this without searching for each app and manually updating?

Same problem here on four devices, two of which aren't even running iOS 7. App updates just disappear from the app store app and the app tells me all my apps are up to date when they aren't.
This problem fixed itself on the iPhone 4 this morning after I synced it with iTunes last night. My iPad 3 is now listing app updates, but it stalls when I try to download them, so I'm updating via iTunes now.
I suspect this is a server problem on Apple's end (I noticed iTunes match isn't working this morning either....). Try syncing your phone with iTunes in the meantime or updating each app individually through the purchased app list (just click on it and you can update on a per app basis).

IOS 4.3.3 won't update on iPhone

Everytime I try to download and update the new version of iTunes, my computer goes through the whole process and then says it timed out. Any suggestions???

Try disabling a/v software and turning off the Firewall.
Disable antivirus software
Turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off
Then try updating iTunes.

I am trying to resore my iphone 4 and the phone keeps causing an error 4005. i have updated itunes and am at a loss as how to restore phone. please help

Hello there, Shaz18663.
The following Knowledge Base article provides a solution for the error you have mentioned:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Particularly:
Check USB connections
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

TS1368 Verizon iPhone 4 won't update apps

For about two weeks now, my Verizon iPhone 4 (ios 5.1.1) won't update apps from the update feature. I can make purchases and otherwise access my account, but although the red icon appears to tell me that there are updates available, I receive the message "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" when I open the apps app. I have no trouble updating the apps manually (by searching for the app and choosing "install" I am prompted to update.) But I can't update automatically by using the updates icon on the App Store menu.
I have a 4th gen iPod and iPad 3 as well, and they have no trouble updating normally on the same network; nor does my computer. I can't find any reference to anyone else having this problem; can anyone help?
FYI, I have already tried every solution I've seen posted on this site to no avail. They only seem to address the issue of not being able to access the iTunes store at all; I ONLY have this issue with the update function -- purchases and manual updates work fine.

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately, the app that is problematic is the App Store app, which is undeletable. Nothing else is giving me a problem.
I did eventually find a thread discussing this problem, and all the solutions are work-arounds, such as update from iTunes on my computer and then sync to my phone. This does work, but it's a bit of a pain to have to do that in order to update. I'd really like to just do it automatically from the device, the way it was intended to work.

IPhone 5 won't boot up, error 4005 when trying to restore!

First things first - English is not my first language so please excuse the errors I make. If anything is unclear/badly explained just say so and I will do my best to try again.
I am the (right now not so) happy owner of a iPhone 5 64GB since late april. It was purchased online in the germal localization of apple store.
For a month or two everything was alright, but suddenly the phone went out and restarted - at first I panicked a bit, but after a few weeks without any problems I thought that was a one time occurrence. Then it happend again. And again. And again. Sometimes it didn't restart for over an hour. (This was especially aggravating while I travelled and all my tickets were on that phone.) This all was while iOS 6.X was still a thing.
I updated to iOS 7 as soon as it was out and it worked well for some weeks. Then it broke down again and didn't boot at all, it was looped in the process. I panicked and googled and restored it successfully via restore mode. (Against all advice from backup though.)
It worked for a while but a few days ago it broke down again. Annoyed I wanted to repeat it, but restore mode wouldn't work anymore! That "connect to iTunes" symbol won't even show up and iTunes doesn't recognize the phone.
I tried DFU mode, iTunes now connected and initiated the restore process. But while it showed "Waiting for iPhone" the phone (in DFU mode!) suddenly tried to restart over and over (logo showing and fading and showing again...). Everytime I got "Error 4005". (That seems to be a error usually occurring when a cable or an adapter is broken, so I believe that the rebooting of the phone "broke" the connection to iTunes or something?)
What I tried so far:
Switching cables
Crying
Different computers
my main computer (Win7 64 Pro), with my full iTunes library
a new account on my main computer, iTunes without a linked ID
my MacBook Air (OSX Lion) with a linked iTunes and, after reinstalling, a "blank" one
another computer with Win7 64 Pro and a virginal iTunes (this got Error 4014 the first time, after that also 4005)
"Repaired" Apple Mobile Device Support
Crying some more
I haven't had a phone for several days now and I'm giving up. I will contact support tomorrow.
But is there ANYONE who knows this problem? I know that the reboot loop is notorious, but that even DFU mode (and yes, I used it correctly) doesn't work? Hardware defect? (I was VERY gentle with the phone...)
Any help, information and last straws would be very much appreciated. I still hope I simply overlooked something obvious.
Thank you!

Yesterday (April 14, 2014), my 32Gb iPhone 5S running ios 7.1 unexpectantly shutdown. After plugging it in to the MacBook that I normally sync to, iTunes told me that the iPhone was in Restore mode. After some seaching on the web, I decided to let iTunes proceed with what it claimed was the only course; a restore. It claimed that all data would be erased. I went ahead since I had a backup (old). The MacBook didn't have a copy of the most recent iOS (7.1), so it downloaded v7.1, verified it and started working with the iPhone. After a minute (roughly) the iPhone lit up, but didn't proceed past the Apple logo. iTunes eventually showed an error saying the operation was unsuccessful; ending with (4005). Apple support suggested I turn off "Find My iPhone" from iCloud. Tried that, no change in the result. I tried the restore procedure again, but this time after the restore error appeared, I dismissed the error and left the iPhone plugged in to the Mac. After a few more minutes the iPhone continued to start up! I was able to backup all data locally to my Mac, and then complete the Restore. A fresh install of iOS 7.1 and a restore from backup gave me my phone back. In summary, don't give up if you see error (4005). Hope this helps someone. And back up your phone regularly!

IPad Air 32GB Wifi model, won't turn on, recover, restore, with error 4005 after trying to use facetime, switched off. :( HELP!

bought my mom a new iPad Air 32GB WiFi model via eBay and got it yesterday. It worked all fine and I even updated it to the latest iOS version. It worked all fine for the next few hours until I tried to have a facetime call using my iPad Air. Somehow within few seconds after the call being initialized, my moms iPad got switched off. I tried almost all the solutions I found via Apple community, google and other sites. None of them worked. ( Restore, Recovery, DFU Mode, Pressing Home and ON/OFF switch etc ) Somehow I managed to connect the iPad to itunes and when i press the restore button, I get error 4005 after 5 - 10 mins appearing 'waiting for iPad' message. I am in Sri Lanka and I have no Apple Stores here, or authorized service providers. since this isn't a fault of the ebay seller, cannot return it too. Please help me!

Hi Tom,
Thank you very much for your time and trying to help me on this issue. I really appreciate it.
I went through those steps more than few time since yesterday ( saw you had posted this solution on a similar issue by another user )
still no luck. Now I cannot exit from DFU mode, or either restore it due to 4005 error. ( since its a new iPad, i only had few apps installed. so not going to loose much data as well ). I also try to exit DFU mode by using few third party apps such as Wondershare Dr.Fone, Phone Rescue, ReiBoot, RecBoot. Only wondershare Dr.Fone app showed me a screen with a message saying the iOS device is 'not in normale mode, press home + off/on button to switch to normal mode, which never worked either.
Really appreciate your help but I am open for more solutions other than Restore, Recovery Mode, DFU mode or any method to overcome error 4005. I would also like to know are there any softwares to diagnose the iPad Air to detect whats wrong with it. so that I can be sure if it is a hardware failure or firmware issue.
Thanks in advance,
Nimasha

My ipad 4 got in black screen, Itunes still recognize but throw me an error 4005 when i want to restore.

my ipad 4 don´t turn on, I'm very stressed.
Yesterday i took a photo and when I wanted to see it my ipad is restarted. took too long to turn on and turn off once was.
I've tried many ways to change the lightning cable, pc change, restoring the apple mobile device usb, but itunes still throwing me the error 4005.
I have proven with other software like redsnow but mark me the error as it does not support ios 7.1.2.
when i connect the ipad in Itunes, it says me that my idevice is in recovery mode.
when this happened it was the battery to 100 percent

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
