HT4623 Can't update iPhone and get restore error -1. Help?

I tried to do the latest update on a 3GS iPhone I gave my daughter (minus the phone usage) and it started the restore then got stuck with error message -1.  I tried everything it said to do under the error to correct it and it still won't restore.  This happened with the last update that I tried to do on another iPhone we gave our daughter to use and I just ended up upgrading my phone to replace the iPhone that couldn't be restored to anything.  I can't do that again and shouldn't have too.   Any ideas on how to fix this?  Thank you for any suggestions!

Well, millions of people are trying to do the exact same thing. Yes, the servers are busy, busy, busy. Please be patient.

    i want to ask that if some one restore iphone and the icloud is activited before it was last so the can activate the iphone and after restore can we track it

    No.
    If the iPhone is running iOS 7, activation lock included with iOS 7 will prevent someone from restoring the iPhone or completing the process.
    If the iPhone can be restored, it cannot be restored from the iPhone's backup - only as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

    What iOS are you currently running?
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

    Hey jestinsinclairr,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you had one issue and then got a second trying to resolve the first. A frustrating situation for sure. The first article linked has what to do if it is not powering on unless plugged in. The second article addresses the error you are receiving when trying to restore.

    I just updated itune and getting an error mscvr80,dll missing.  I uninstall and reinstall and getting the same message.  help

    DLL files typically do not affect Mac OS X systems.  Are you sure you are running Mac OS X?  If you are running some version of iTunes Windows, the forum for that is here:

  • HT4623 can i update iphone 3g to ios6

    can i update iphone 3g to ios6

    Stop yelling.
    It is not physically possible to update an iPhone 3G to iOS 6. The highest version of iOS it will run is 4.2.1.
    If, on the other hand, it is actually a 3GS, it can run iOS 6.1.6
    Have you considered doing what it's telling you to do and connecting it to your computer running iTunes?

  • Can't update Apps, now getting new error message

    It's been weeks since I've been able to update my Apps on either my iPod touch, or from iTunes. In iTunes previously, it would say that there were updates available, but then when I clicked on Update it would tell me that there were no updates available, now I'm getting a new error message that says "You can not update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software." WHAT???? These are mostly free apps, and the others I paid for. I'm so tired of this. And on my iPod touch I get "Can not connect to the iTunes store," even though I can make purchases, download podcasts, etc. Any ideas. Thanks so much.

    it's strange because not all update have this issue. I can update some free and paid apps ( over 10 update was succeful) and few (4-5)others have this problem and cannot be updated. Itunes didnt been updated since beginning of this issue.
    For the free one who cannot be updated, i just deleted already owned in itunes and re-downloaded updated version again without any problem.But for my paid apps, i will need to wait That apple fix it.
    I googled and i see this problem already happen in 2007 or 2008 but i just found problem report, no solution. I will try to spend couple minute to find out on google and try to call apple or contact apple expert on the web there tomorrow: http://www.apple.com/support/expert/ and come back to tell what they said. If someone found please post !!

  • Im having trouble getting my wifi, it connects to the router but isnt getting internet.  My room mates and I can connect our iphones and other devices just fine, help would be appriciated

    First time on here and my knowledge with networking and such is very limited, my Mac Pro can connect to the router but when I try to open my browser it wont bring up any webpage.  The only way I can get internet is through an ethernet port, Im basically at a loss for what to do.

    You will find the AirPort icon (looks like this ) on the OS X menu bar. Option (or right) click the icon, and you should be greeted with a drop-down menu. All of the parameters I mentioned should now appear after the name of your Wi-Fi network.
    The meaning of each of the values are as follows:
    PHY Mode = The radio mode that your Mac Pro is connecting with.
    Channel = The radio channel the Mac Pro is connected to.
    RSSI = Received Signal Strength Indication. It's an indication of the power level of the signal as preceived by the Mac Pro's internal Wi-Fi antenna. Typically the higher the RSSI number the stronger the signal. RSSI is measured in arbitrary units. Some manufacterers use a positive scale, others like Apple, use a negative (0 to -100) instead. For the AirPorts, the less negative the better.
    Transmit Rate = Instantaneous maximum date transfer rate of the connection in Mbps (Megabits per second)
    MCX Index = Modulation and Coding Scheme. The MCS value identifies a number of things, including the number of spatial streams used in the Wi-Fi connection between the Mac Pro and the AirPort router. A larger or smaller MCS value is meaningless. Instead, it defines the actual connection type. In turn, the type can play a significantly on the potential bandwidth performance.

  • I can't sync music and get an error message when I plug in my iPod

    I've had my iPod for a year or so, and mostly things have been fine. The battery-life was dying more quickly than usual, so I went to the Apple Store and got one of the salespeople to help me. They told me to Restore the iPod and see how it went from there. After a complete fiasco with that, I keep trying to plug in my iPod to update my library. However, when I plug it in, the iPod only flashes the charging button, and iTunes is unresponsive and sluggish for several minutes. Then a message pops up that says "The iPod 'iPod' cannot be synced. The required disc cannot be found."
    I have repeatedly gotten this message and really don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated......

    You can also try out few things >
    1) check if the ipod constantly appears in mycomputer section .
    - if it does try changing the drive letter of the ipod and try to format the ipod drive(Right click format)
    2) if its not comin up in mycomputer then.. there has to be problem with the USB drivers in your computer
    you can try
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304508
    The best way to check whether the ipod is faulty or the computer is creating the problem is,
    connect the ipod to a different computer which has itunes on it(If possible)

  • Can't update OS X, getting an error

         I've just erased my HDD and I'm trying to update from Mountain Lion to Mountain Lion (maybe that's my problem?) and every single time I get to the page where I click on the disk I want then click on install I receive a message saying "This item is temporarily unavailable. Try again later."
    Just a few things to note: I'm using an iMac, I don't know my serial number nor do I have it registered, I don't have a USB big enough for 8GB and don't have access to another Mac.
    Help please?
