Hi there beee19,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Check USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response,” and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
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.
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 checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

    It is usually given as a communication error between Apple, iTunes (your computer), iPhone. Somewhere they are not communicating, so the iOS you are trying to install cannot be approved by Apple. Trouble shooting steps include, making sure you have Current iTunes installed, make sure your Hosts file of computer is not blocking Apple. Try restoring on another computer.

    Hello jlgougeon,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.http://apple.com/itunes/download

    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Restart your Mac.

  • HT201210 Why can't i get my iphone 3gs out of recovery mode when i try to restore it?

    Hello People,
    My iPhone 3GS has gone into "Recovery Mode" and ive tried to restore it. When it reaches the firmware it stops and my iPhone restarts and i get an error message saying "The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error has occured(1)." Ive tried putting it into DFU mode but it doesn't seem to work (its like it is in a loop). Ive tried different firmwares such as 3.1.3 and 4.1 and it still stops at the firmware section. The iPhone was new out of the box about 4-5 days ago and i get this.
    Any suggestions please post below this thread.
    Best Regards,
    Kieran

    You've just exposed your email address to millions of people, some of whom are spammers or worse. That was not a good idea. Expect a massive increase in spam as a result, unless the mods see it and edit it out of your message. You can only restore a 3GS to iOS 5.1.1. If you are trying to install an earlier version you must hack or jailbreak your phone; error 1 is usually an indication that the phone is jailbroken. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1

  • Installed iTunes and try opening it and get an error message

    I have installed iTunes twice and uninstalled it aswell. I go to open it and it gives me an error message that the file is in a locked folder or that I do not have permission to open the file. What could this be? I havent been able to ue iTunes since I updated my iPhone to iOS 7. Really feeling like I made a mistake doing that.

  • ITunes 10.0 does not recognize my iPhone under my main user name

    iTunes 10.0 doesn't recognize my iPhone when I am logged in under my main user name. It also freezes frequently and takes a very, very long time to open (it does recognize my iPod). However, if I log in as a different user, iTunes works fine; it recognizes my iPhone right away, opens quickly and doesn't freeze.
    All of my important stuff is stored under my main user name so I need to get iTunes to work when I am logged in under that. I have all administrator privileges/access.
    Does anyone know what this means and what, if anything, I can do to fix it? I have uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes multiple times, checked the USB ports, updated software, drivers and everything else Apple recommends.

    Care to share which OS you are using?

  • My iPhone is stuck in recovery mode, I've tried to restore it five times but it requests it again. No error code is shown.

    So, my home button was playing up. I plugged my iPhone into iTunes to let it restore, it did so, but then asked me to do it again as it had went into recovery mode. I did so, five times... still in recovery mode. There is no error code showing, just iTunes asking me to restore it over and over again.

    This reply isn't to shorty2006, that post was awhile ago. This is for everyone that updates itunes and gets an error that their phone is now in Recovery mode. 
    I've been researching all night and even thought about downloading several different things that were suppose to get my phone out of "Recovery" mode.  Then I thought about taking my phone to the Apple store after work tomorrow.  I then found this blog and read coltonkj's entry and tada!  I took a big breath and hit "restore".  It worked, it put me back to the page where you can select to restore the last back-up.  Shooooo!!!!
    Thank you coltonkj !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
