Good day thomasallen818,
It sounds as if you are trying to do a restore of your uncle's iPhone and iTunes is giving your an error 9006 when you try to do so, is that right? This article tells what to do for various errors while restoring an iPhone -
Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes - Apple Support
If the basic steps in that article are unable to resolve the issue, this article has some specific steps for that error -
Get help with iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
Specifically -
Check your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't blocking a connection to the Apple servers.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • I keep getting the error message 'error 9006' when i try to update my iphone and ipad with iOS 6.1.2 - HELP

    Can any one help me.
    I'm having an continued issue with my phone/ipad 2 and updating it.
    I've tried (unsuccessfully) 7 or 8 times to update my iphone 4s with the latest update (iOS 6.1.2) but it gets 30 minutes in to the update and then an error message comes up (error 9006) and it gives me no option but to click ok and it.
    I've tried using different USB cables, different ports in my laptop, even uninstalling I Tunes and reinstalling and starting again - nothing seems to work.
    I've contacted my network provider who's referred me to Apple but they are closed (I'll try again during business hours).
    I'm updating it on my laptop using an internet dongle (as i dont have WIFI - All updates have been done like this and i've never had a problem before) and I have windows 7 software..
    Is there anyone who's encountered the same issue?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated?

    Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 1000, 9006
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    Restore using a different computer.

  • HT4972 i got my new iphone 4s , can not download the OS 5 it says error 9006 on my windows 7. also the phone does not show the capacity and serial number details on the itunes summery ?? please help

    i got my new iphone 4s , can not download the OS 5 it says error 9006 on my windows 7. also the phone does not show the capacity and serial number details on the itunes summery ?? please help

    Hi Kevin,
    The iPhone 4S comes automatically loaded with iOS 5, and any updates after iOS 5.0 can be completed directly from on the phone in Settings > General > Software Update. If you are having trouble using iTunes to update software, I suggest you reset iTunes so that you can pair your phone to the computer again, because if you can't see the serial number and capacity, that generally means your phone isn't paired.  For any problems this doesn't fix, please contact Apple directly through their automated help line, 1(800)MYAPPLE.

  • Purchased tv series and trying to download and i keep getting error =9006...help .... I still have 62 downloads that I paid for

    I have purchased over 200.00 in movies and tv series. I was able to download the movies fine and part of the series. Now nothing will download I keep getting an error 9006 please someone help. I have no idea what to do

    Same here - did the latest iTunes update and boy am I glad I did that; haven't been able to run iTunes since. Have re-installed after uninstalling as per one of the other help pages, re-booting, and now instead of getting the above error message I get one that says Apple Application support not found. Please uninstall then reinstall. Apple error 2.
    Not thanks - Apple, you might want to do something about this I'm guessing since I'm no longer able to use iTunes thanks to your update?

  • TS3694 Need help for ipad 3 download error 9006

    Have downloaded Itunes app and iphone5 IOS 7 successfully.
    Have installed IOS7 on Iphone 5 it works great.
    After Iphone successful install I moved to my Ipad 3.
    I get download error 9006 when connecting Ipad 3 in middle of the download.
    I have rebooted both Windows7 and Ipad3.
    I have tried 3 times. I get the error.

    Launch iTunes on your computer and see if you have available downloads. After you open iTunes, click on the apps tab on the left side under the Library heading. You will see a window with all of the apps that you have purchased. If there is a number next to the word apps - say the number 2 - that means you have available downloads. Look in the bottom right corner of the iTunes window and there should be a message sating 2 downloads available. Click on that to get to the next window and you may be able to finish downloading the stuck apps in there.
    Do this first and then worry about deleting the apps from the iPad. I want you to see if you can finish downloading them in iTunes on your computer - then sync - then delete.
    This is step one.

  • Trying to update Ipad2 from IOS 5.1 to IOS 6.1 but I get an error 9006

    I'm trying to update my Ipad2 from IOS 5.1 to IOS 6.1 but I get an error 9006.  I've tried updating several times but I get the same networking error.  I've tried disabling my computer and router firewalls, and made sure I have up to date Itune program, I even run the diagnostics on itunes and comes up that all connections are ok.  I also tried connecting directly from my modem, I still got the same result.  Now my Ipad has just the Itunes logo and a usb cable that's showing on it's screen.  I'm hoping I can get help with this because it seems like my Ipad is un-usable in this state.  Thanks in advance.
    PS: I also have an Apple TV 3 that's asking me to update, I run the update but it failed and asked me to run the update again.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

  • Error 9006 - Update to iOS for iPad

    I have been trying to update my iOS software to 4.2 for my iPad and keep getting the error 9006 and have to start the procedure all over again. Sometimes it gets to 200mb complete, sometimes just 20mb.
    I have searched previous forums and cannot find any information to help. I am using Windows Vista with iTunes 10.1
    Can someone please help!

    Ok! Eureka! I think I've got it!
    Quick background. I live in CPT and my parents in DBN. I have an ipad and iphone 3Gs and have had NO problem with downloads. Its important to note though that I have the Telkom 4Meg DSL line that is called their 'fastest - 4096kbps'. My parents have the 'Faster' which is 512kbps -or middle of the road. My dad has been unable to get the updates AT ALL since he got his equipment. Anyway i tried for 2 solid weeks to do the updates on both iphone and ipad to no avail. Kept getting error 9006. We have since discovered that DSL line that they have at home is not operating to even a 1/4 of its supposed 'faster' marketing. In fact when my mother tried to upgrade they said she couldnt because they dont have capacity to do so...yet they still pay the price! Anyway, when I got back to CPT i updated both my dads ipad and iphone in 15 mins and with no error. Thats what made me think its a speed and line error for the area you live in. You need to check if the line is stable and fast enough to do the update. Check that here [if you are in SA] http://www.telkomsa.net/ and go to speed test. My download speed is 1.68Mb/s. So if you want the update, do it in a place that offers the fastest DSL, its a Telkom issue. Hope this helps

  • Error 9006 when downloading rented movie

    The subject basically says it all. I have been downloading movies from itunes for years but the last one I tried has been unsuccessful. The download is slower than normal and after 20-30 MB of the movie downloads, it stops, loses all progress and gives me an error 9006 and says to restart the download. I have messed with all my firewalls and configurations to allow for improved results but so far nothing has worked. Any advice or help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

    I was having the same error 9006 trying to download a rented movie on iTunes. I read on another board it might have something to do with Internet Explorer 8 and iTunes using the same downloader. My Explorer 8 had recently quit working but I didn't care because I use Firefox. However, I then started getting the 9006 error on iTunes. On Windows 7 you have to go to the control panel. Click on "uninstall a program", in the uninstall window go to the left column and click on "Turn Window features on or off", this will open another window with the Windows features check marked. Uncheck Internet Explorer, then restart your computer. After it restarts, go back to the uninstall programs feature again and click "Turn Window features on or off", put a check mark next to Internet Explorer and restart the computer again. This fixed the problem with Internet Explorer and iTunes started the download without any errors popping up.

  • Error 9006 while downloading Firmware 2.2

    I get the "Error 9006" while downloading 2.2 firmware, it can stop at 20mb or 200mb. Never been able to complete the download. I am using Windows XP.
    This is exactly the same problem when I tried to dwl firmware 2.1, in the end I had to find the firmware file myself.
    Can anyone help? Or locate the firmware file?

    hey, here is something that should help
    With your internet connected go to tools
    -go all the way down to internet options
    -click on the security tab-go to custom level
    there will be a list there enable anything that has to do with downloading
    -right below the list it says reset custom settings
    -in the drop down menu change it to Medium-low
    then click reset. When you are done click on apply, this might take a miute. When it is done. Click Ok
    If this doesn't work you can email me at [email protected]
