  • Error 3194 When Trying to Restore

    I keep getting error 3194 when I try to restore my ipod touch 4g. I have NEVER jailbroken and I want to restore!

    Try this, copied from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error3194
    Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.

  • TS3694 What is the cause of "error 1015" when trying to restore and update an iPhone 3gs?

    What is the cause of "error 1015" when you're trying to restore and update an iphone 3gs? My iphone is currently in recovery mode and can not get out of it. All the information about my iphone shown on itunes is only marked as- N/A. How can I get my iphone out of recovery mode and get it to recover and update?
    Thank you,
    MacQuestioner3

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1015, which says:
    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
    In other words, either your phone is jailbroken and you are sadly out of luck or you are trying to downgrade iOS.

  • HT4623 I keep getting error 21 when trying to restore and update my 4 day old iPhone 5?

    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

  • Error 29 When trying to restore and update iPhone 4 ios7

    I had a shop recently replace my screen on my iPhone 4.  After a few days my phone would keep rebooting after 2 minutes every single time.  I closed all the apps and turned everything off, including cellular, 3G, roaming and it still keeps rebooting...  So i decided to do a restore via iTunes.  Now Every time i do a restore and update I keep getting Error 29 in iTunes.  I read that error 29 usually means a bad or incompatible battery.  I tried batteries from two different iPhone 4.  Both were original batteries.  I also tried different computers, different cables and I during the update process it gets 3/4ths done and I'm getting error 29 on iTunes. The phone is back on recovery mode.....  I can't get it out of recovery mode and I can't get it to update..... 
    Could the screen replacement cause this error 29. ?  Is there any other way to get out of recovery mode or update my iPhone ?
