Cannot restore iPhone 4 after IOS 5 update

So i updated my phone last night and it said that it needed to be resotred so I did, but just before it finished, it did not complete it and now will not restore at all. Keeps coming up with Error (1). I have followed the steps to what apple have given me by restarting my laptop, making sure I have the most recent iTunes and making sure all my software is upto date. and it all is, but I still cannot restore it. Can someone PLEASE help me! I have contacted Apple and the place where i got it from and they had no idea and could not help me. so could someone PLEASE PLEASE help me??

My best suggest is with error 1 is to make sure that your security software on your comptuer is temporarily disabled. That's very common with itunes restore errors- and more specifically with that errror code. If you can't get it to restore after disabling it...you can try another computer to restore and then bring it back to your original comptuer to sync or restore from you backup.
All else fail with that contact Apple Technical support at 1-800-694-7466 With further instructions. But they will definitely ask you about that security software....

Cannot activate iMessage after iOS update.

Cannot activate iMessage after iOS update. "Activation unsuccessful" I cannot activate it.

Have you updated your iOS to 5.1? Just confirming as it says "iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1" in your thread.
Double check if you have credit in your mobile in order to activate iMessage.
Turn iMessage off and on again, than turn off your phone (long press display off and on button) and slide to turn off. Turn your phone back on, enter your "Apple I.D" in the iMessage window and wait till it verifies everything.
Tell us if it solves the issue.

Why i cannot restore back after update software?

What does "restore back" mean?
If it means go backwards to some earlier version of iOS, then Apple has never allowed that.
If it means reload the contents of your iPhone after doing a software update, you should be able to do that.

Cannot join network after ios update

After ios update i cannot join on my ipad network

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

Cannot restore iPhone (after update) error 1013

As I tried to update my iPhone3GS to 4.3, I get a message that says "the iphone could not be updated. an unknown error occurred (1013)"
Obviously, all the data got erased, and on connecting the iPhone again to iTunes, the message appears stating that the iPhone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. And this is where the main problem lies- I tried to restore the phone and I get the same message "the iphone could not be restored. an unknown error occured (1013)"
I have tried everything possible- used another laptop, used another itunes account, tried the solutions from the support page; but nothing! I am left with is the iTunes logo on my phone. I don't care about the software update, I just want the phone to work! PLEASE HELP!

This is happening to me too. I am so incredibly frustrated! Monday is a wild business day for me and all my conferencing info is in my phone! I can't even turn it on.
My error message is (6), and I've tried using three different computers so far. I just keep getting the message my phone can't be restored.

Cannot restore iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4, error 2001 and 2006

My iPhone 5 (AT&T, purchased on March 2013) suddenly went blank - without being dropped down, or *drowned* in water/ liquid - then a blinking (Apple) logo ...
Following Internet forums, I kept the "Home" button pressed a while, the sign of an USB cable attemting to connect to iTunes appeared.
iTunes asked me to restore, I agreed, it downloaded the "iPhone5,1_6.1.4_10B350_Restore.ipsw", then extracted, then verifying with Apple for a while, then appeared the message that this iPhone cannot be restored, error 2001.
I retried, same result, sometime the error is 2006.
I retried with another MacBook Pro, then iMac, same error 2006 or 2001 !
Strange thing : when trying in iTunes in Windows 8 (via BootCamp on those same iMacs, MacBook Pro), the error changed to error 21 !!!
I'd tried in several other ways :
01. DFU (pressing both "Home" and "Power" buttons ... ...),
02. turn off Intego/ Sophos/ ClamXav,
03. delete that .ipsw file to download a new one,
04. remove the iPhoneUpdater.log files, pretending to cheat the system
05. confirm via System Information that I am plugging the iPhone only to one of the USB Hi-Speed Buses (thinking error 2001 & 2006 relates to USB ports)
... the *iFool* beauty keeps sleeping like ... a brick !
Any help would be highly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.
BAKZOO.

Hey guys, i have the same issue.
Yesterday my iphone lost network, i turned it off, and wanted to turn on, but iphone didn't react.
Once i plugged charging cable in, apple logo appeared, then screen went black, then apple logo appeared once again. So it seems like iphone goes into reboot after apple logo appears.
I connected iphone to macbook pro while holding home button, itunes showed me iphone 5 in recovery mode, then iOS was downloaded, but recovery didn't even started. Every time it shows me 2001 error. Sometimes recovery fails with 2006 error. I tried to change USB port, tried another original USB cable, tried another macbook pro, both are updated to OS X 10.8.4, iTunes 11.0.4(4), but the same 2001 error comes up over and over again.
I did everything that official support advises on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694?viewlocale=ru_RU&locale=ru_RU#error2001, but nothing really helps
Any ideas on what might help? There's no Apple stores here in Uktraine so i can not return my iphone and get a new one

TS3694 Error 3194, trying to resore iphone after ios update

After downloading the new ios to my iphone 4g, the apple just keeps slowly flashing on and off. Itried to restore the phone, but it said it could not be resored, error 3194. Can anyone help?

This usually occurs because you previously used an iOS hacking utility such as tinyumbrella.
Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:

Check security software and ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow these stepsfor assistance with security software.

HT1688 restoring iphone after failed update

I recently tried to the latest update and then it said i needed to connect it to a computer so i did so and it gets so far and then gives me an error and then disconnects my phone... i then did the hard reset aka home button and on/off button and its frozen on the apple symbol. i couldnt get it to come back up that i needed to connect to itunes. after numerous searches online i got that portion to work but then it would not register on my computer after i got that to work once again it still gave me the error. i took my phone to the local att store and they were unable to help me as well and were saying i was going to have to pay apple $200 for a new iphone! HOW IS THIS MY FAULT?! i followed the normal update and they are saying my hardware is fried! i do not care about gettin my items back bc obviously it was backed up with my appleid but seriously i had to get a whole new phone bc my phone will not work!

Try DFU Mode Restore. If this fails try, DFU Mode Restore on different computer. If this fails ATT could be correct.
DFU Mode Restore of iPhone on computer with iTunes. Here are the steps. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB Cable. Hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release the power button, keep holding the home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Usually about 20 seconds of holding home button. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. DFU Mode is sometimes difficult to get. So keep trying the steps until you get it. DFU mode is iTunes saying iPhone in Recovery Mode except screen is black, blank.

iPhone 5c voice dial cannot be disabled after software update. Is there any way around this?

Hi! It seems you found a bug on iOS 7.1
To disable Voice dials try this, (I saw in an iPhone website here in Brazil):
1. Turn on Siri (settings > General > Siri)
2. go to (Settings >Passcode > Voice Dial) trust me, it appears now
3. disable Voice Dial
4. go back and disable Siri
hope this could help you!!

I am having trouble with my iPod 5th gen after iOS update. It's in recovery mode and iTunes keeps timing out when I try to restore it. What should I do??? If possible, I would also like to keep all of my data.

As with all clickwheel iPods, you can reset this iPod by first toggling the hold switch on and off and then simultaneously pressing the select (center) and menu buttons for approximately 5-10 seconds. This is a common fix should your iPod behave unexpectedly or lock up. Once reset, the iPod should display an Apple logo for a few seconds before showing the main menu. This procedure is similar to rebooting a computer and damages none of your music or data.

I would guess that it is because you failed to make sure that they were all on your computer before you updated.
