Error 1004 while trying to restore my iPhone 4

So I wanted to restore my iPhone 4 cause it wouldnt sync my apps and now every time I connect my phone to the itunes it keeps giving me the error 1004 during the restore."The iphone "Iphone" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1004)." does anyone know what should I do?

This did not solve the issue for me. I am trying to update to 4.0.1
My hosts file says

# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
I also tried it with the second to last line completely removed, so it was
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
Any other thoughts?

  • Error occured while trying to restore this iphone (-50)

    I was trying to update my iphone 3G software to 4.2.1 (I was running 3. something before then) and I got a message that said "an error occured while trying to restore this iphone (-50)," and my phone has been wiped clean. This happened after updating my itunes to the latest update.  In itunes, I now have two options, Set up as a new iphone, or restore from "unkown." Not cool! Any suggestions?

  • HT201210 CAN U APPLE TELL MW WHY I GET ERROR 1015 WHILE TRYING TO RESTORE MY IPHONE 3G

    PLEASE I NEED HELP
    Why I cant restore iphone 3g I always get error 1015??
    I need HELP RIGHT NOW

    Thx BUT =as-said, I've tried ALL the suggestions - including reading through the link you just suggested/posted (but just for good measure, i've just re-read thru it again!). I noticed from this list the first time i read thru it, that Error 23 didn't appear anywhere on this list of various (numerous!) error numbers. So/ergo, i still don't know (a) what exactly this error IS, (b) how to fix/get past/resolve it.
    I don't have an Apple store anywhere near me. Even if I did, I wonder whether they would (a) be willing to (b) able to fix it @ the so-called Genius bar? Any thoughts on this? (Obviously, if there were an Apple store nearby, I'd go there & try; as-is, it would entail an extra trip & an expense costing as much as buying a new iPhone!)

  • Iphone 5 cant be restored, it shows unknown error -1 while trying to restore and it only display connect to Itune

    Iphone 5 cant be restored, it shows unknown error -1 while trying to restore and it only display connect to Itune

    Greetings ayokunlefromlos angeles,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that when attempting to restore your iPhone you receive an error and your iPhone shows the Connect to iTunes screen. To begin troubleshooting, I would suggest manually placing your iPhone in recovery mode and attempting the restore. Please follow the instructions located in the attached article to complete this process. 
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Cheers,

  • TS3694 while trying to restore my iphone i am getting an error message 2001.  what does that mean

    Hello,
    When I am trying to restore my iphone I a  getting an error message that reads, " The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (2001)."
    What does that error message mean?
    v/r,

    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

  • I'm getting an error message when trying to restore my iPhone

    I'm trying to restore my iPhone 5 because it's been having a lot of problems. I had it connected to my Mac, and it says it's not apart of the iPhone developer program. I have no idea what that it. Please help me, how do I bypass it.

    If this is your phone, it appears that you had either loaded the iOS 7 beta on it and it is now expired or you are not trying to restore the phone correctly. Did you attempt to update using something other than the standard procedure in iTunes? You cannot install a custom iOS file.

  • Error (-1) while trying to restore iphone 3gs

    Hello there,
    My iPhone 3Gs stopped working, it got stuck on the apple boot screen logo.
    So i tried to reset it and it asks to be connected with itunes, this is all it shows now.
    This is what I did next, i tried to restore my phone trough iTunes. It will do the whole process but at the end it fails and give me error -1.
    I tried with 3 different computers and with all I get the same error.
    It was not jailbroken or whatsoever, so i'm not sure why it started doing this.
    Has my iPhone passed away? Or is there something else I could try?
    Thanks!

    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • Error 1015 when trying to restore old iPhone on Mac iTunes

    Hello,
    Recently my mom's iPhone was freezing up. She says she tried to restore it by following some sleazy directions on the internet using her PC. The phone keeps acting up, so we connect it to my MacBook Pro, which we've never connected it to before. We run an update and click restore.
    We get a dialog box that says 'Error 1015' and now her phone permanently has a picture of a USB cord with an arrow pointing up towards the iTunes logo.
    I have been at this for two hours. I have been on every forum, downloaded every program, hit every wall from expired download links to programs that only work for PC.
    I am running Mac OS X 10.7.4
    I don't even know what generation this iPhone is. It seems ancient. I would go so far as to say this is probably one of the first iPhones released.
    If anyone could help me out whatsoever it would be extremely appreciated. Thank you.

    It sounds like your mom ended up jailbreaking her phone.  That's what an error 1015 means.
    There is no help to be had here. Sorry.
    Discussing jailbroken phones is forbidden by the terms of service.
    You'll need to look elsewhere for assistance or buy a new phone.
