    From the article the question was posted from:
    Errors related to third-party security software
    Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 1000, 9006            
    Follow the steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or phobos.apple.com isn't blocked by a firewall or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under "Advanced steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)" below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    Restore using a different computer.

    the iphone iphone could not be restored. an unknown error occurred (1015).

    1015 error: There are 4 possible causes of this error:
    The activation server truly is unavailable. Rare, usually fixed within minutes.
    Your antivirus or firewall or router's firewall is blocking access to
    gs.apple.com on ports 80 and 443.
    Your iPhone is jailbroken or otherwise hacked.
    The computer you connected to during the restore/update was
    used to hack/jailbreak some other iOS device, and its
    network database was corrupted during the process.

  • HT201210 the iphone could not be restored. an unknown error occurred (1015).

    the iphone could not be restored. an unknown error occurred (1015).

    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

  • "the iphone could not be restored an unknown error occurred (2)"

    Yesterday I connected my iPhone 4 to my Windows 7 laptop, and went through to install the latest security update for iPhone through iTunes. When it was installing the software update, the phone froaze, and then this happened:"the iphone could not be restored an unknown error occurred (2)"
    Now, I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Bonjour and iTunes, to no avail. I have done the iPhone reboot method, and the phone will be identified as "iPhone" but not recognised as mine. iTunes states this phone is in recovery mode and I have tried numerous times to restore it.
    Windows doesn't detect the phone while this is happening. It will not restore and the error is still popping up. I have followed as many threads to rectify this but nothing seems to be working.
    I can resore it on my iMac but the reset date for the iPhone on this computer is six months old.
    Any suggestions?

    When you say you uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, did you follow the directions in this Apple support document exactly? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    That will make a difference on Windows computers. After that, try and reconnect and restore.

    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

  • The iphone could not be restored an unknown error occurred 1013 ATTt iPhone

    AT&T iPhone 4
    Last night when I plugged my phone in to iTunes, it told me I needed to update my phone. So I tried to do it. Then it said I need to restore it. So I pressed the "restore button". After several minutes, I get a pop-up error box stating "the iphone "iPhone" could not be restored an unknown error occurred 1013". I've read other discussions with the same issue, but none of the solutions work.
    Please help.

    Exact same thing happened to me. I took it to a local Apple Store and they told me the port was corroded and so they replaced the phone. I took the phone back home, plugged it into itunes, told it to restore my old contacts, and BOOM same error. Iphone could not be restored an unknown error occurred 1013.
    Seeing as how the nearest Apple Store is a two hour round trip from here, I'm very upset. What is up with this last update?
