ERROR 1604 AGAIN! CAN'T RESTORE iPHONE, GRRRRR!

Why is it that everytime there's a new software update for the iPhone it completely crashes my iPhone and then takes over 4 hours to get it working again? Seriously, I'm not lying, you can check my history and all the topics I've created in the past...THEY ARE ALL ABOUT THE SAME **** THING: ERROR 1604 WHILE ATTEMPTING TO RESTORE! I've deleted iTunes, re-downloaded/re-installed it, I've restarted my PC several times, I've tried using multiple USB cords, I've used all 4 USB ports on my PC...NOTHING WORKS! And now, for the first time...once it says: "preparing iPhone for restore" it makes the screen on my iPhone flash different colors like Joseph's technicolor dreamcoat, LOL! Can anyone help me get my iPhone restored and running again, PLEASE???

Ok, so I finally took it to the Apple store and they were able to restore it within minutes without a problem. I took it home, put an ad on Craigslist, sold my 2G iPhone for $170, went to the AT&T store, bought a brand new 16GB iPhone 3G S and brought it home...AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN TRYING TO INSTALL THE LATEST SOFTWARE UPDATE! I brought it to my GF"s house and tried her laptop...IT WORKED PERFECTLY! So I guess it's my PC?

  • My iTouch won't restore. iTunes keeps stating Error 1604 we can't restore you iTouch. What do I do?

    I have had this iTouch for a long time and it has never done this before. my iTouch still has the 'connect to iTunes' picture on it. Everytime I try to restore it, it says Error 1604 afterwards. I can't reset my iTouch or even turn it off because the button on the top won't work. Please help me?

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

    If necessary:

  • Can't restore iPhone 4 from IOS7.02 error 3014

    Hello all,
    Familiar topic for many.... Can't restore iPhone 4 after trying to update to IOS7.02 and keep getting error 3014 whenever it tries to restore firmware halfway through update process.
    Have read all of the discussions and done the following:-
    - tried it on another (proven) network
    - Tried it on another identity on my machine
    - deleted and reinstalled software update file several times over
    - tried different USB cables
    - checked that there are no ports blocked.
    - looked at the host file and there is no reference to gs.apple.com on there
    - Phone is not jailbroken
    - turned off security software.
    Any more suggestions?
    Grateful and expectant,
    ZNZB*
    P.S. Nearest Apple Store is about 3000 miles away, before anyone asks.

    Itunes is updating ALSO today
    Endless countless millions of people are trying to authenticate AFTER downloading the new IOS.
    Download servers and Authentication / Activation servers are slammed right now.
    Give it some time.   
    download servers VS. authentication servers
    If you've downloaded but can yet activate, you can wait till later and Activate your Iphone (or Ipad also) without any worries
    Iphones , Ipads, and Itunes are ALL being updated today, so server traffic is enormous.

  • Can't restore iphone 5 using itunes, what to do ???

    Can't restore iphone 5 using itunes. It asks for update of ios 7.0.4 while it is in the latest ios and once I start the update using itunes it doesn't complete. Stucks with lots of errors like, 3253, 9000 series. What to do???

    "1- suddenly my iPhone 5 lost mobile company signal and word searching appears instead but no signal for the hole day so I changed the sim with other provider and since it gave me the same result I searched the web and the seems no solution other than restore.
    I did restore and update to iOS 7.0.4 but at the restore takes at the last 1% in the last moment of restore it will take loooong time then gave me error 3. And now for more than a month the iPhone stuck with recovery logo. Almost I tried every trick in the book . Change USB cable, port, PC. PC with other OS . Even freezing the iPhone as I read here noooooo result the same happened again and again."

  • Can't restore iphone 4s

    Switched the phone off as the camera had frozen and now it won't come back on!  Tried to restart, restore etc.  Itunes has error message saying can't restore.  Help?!!

    Open current iTunes on your computer. Connect iPhone to your computer with the USB Cable. Hold both the home and power buttons for about 20 seconds, until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If it Restores great. If any Error Messages are given write them down so you can look up the cause and solution.

    I am getting error message when trying to restore iphone 3gs

    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.
