Error code 6 when updating to iOS 7

Hi, I have a fairly new iPhone 4S which had behaved impeccably, bur when I came to update the iOS to 7.0, through iTunes, error code 6 was returned.  I had to restore to factory settings, which gave me the new iOS and then I had to restore all apps etc from my last back up.  The same thing happened when I updated to iOS 7.02.  I have an iPhone running the latest iOS and it's working fine, but if I have to do this everytime there in an incremental iOS update it's going to be really annoying having to set the iPhone aside for a few hours rather than a few minutes.
I've read the Apple Support docs realating to error code 6 and can't really make any sense of it.  Also, it's predominantly aimed at Windows users.
Can anyone help me?

Hello Phillips, this error usually has to do with Jailbroken iphones, just need to go into DFU mode then restore and update. Hope this helps.

  • Error -43 when updating to ios 5

    Updated to iTunes 10.5 this morning.  When updating my iPhone 4 (4.3.3) I received the following error:
    "An error occurred while backing up the iphone (-43).  Would you like to continue to update this iPhone?  Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this phone."
    Error -43 is not listed on the support page. 
    My iPhone has a recent backup from a sync today.  What will happen if I select "continue" and lose the contents on my iphone?

    Why is there not a reply from Apple.   Please tell us if we should continue or wait for YOU to fix bug.  What is the delay as your install says this could take hours.

  • Error 14 when updating to iOS 5, Error 14 when updating to iOS 5

    I am trying to update my GSM iPhone 4 to iOS 5. It successfully downloaded without issue. When I try to update my device, it goes through the installation process but I get the following message: "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (14)."  This has occured at least 30 times over the past two hours. My phone is bricked an unusable. Does anybody know how to get around this?

    no need to restart machine
    no need to re install itunes
    no need to unplug and plug back your iphone cable to machine
    no need to return to apple support
    just simply go to
    C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    you will be able to see a several list of back up folders
    just cut and paste to drive D: or you can delete it if your really sure the latest back up
    to check the latest back up folder just right click the folder / properties and check the date and size of the back up folder
    connect the iphone to machine and click restore.
    have done this to several iphones
    issue RESOLVED
    any questions you can email me at [email protected]
    thank you

    I too am getting same error. Purchased E5 few days ago and download latest ovi suite from nokia site. Why nokia is not fixing this bug despite of so many complaints. I used beta software updater and it updated my phone's software (from 0.4.x to 0.7.x) but when I go to 'Software Update' on my mobile, I still see phone update of 16 MB marked as important.

  • Error -5000 when updating to IOS 5

    When trying to upgrade my Ipad to IOS 5, I get an error (-5000) while the backup is being done. Also it says proceeding with the upgrade will
    erase all of the contents of my Ipad.  Is this a known issue? should I proceed?

    I'm getting the exact same issue?  What does the -5000 error mean anyway, and why does apple not give any help as to why this error is occurring?

    You can't do that if your device is not jailbroken, if it is jailbroken then you can use the iFaith tool. Have a look at the below link which explains clearly which devices are eligible for upgrading and which are not, article also explains the usage of iFaith tool.
