  • 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.

  • Unknown error 1603 when trying to restore my iphone 3g in itunes - help!!!

    hello everyone - any help on the following issue would be greatly appreciated!
    just updated to latest version of i tunes on my PC, synced all my new music etc, then phone just got stuck on the black screen with the small apple logo in the middle. phone (iphone 3G) won't turn on and just has the signal to connect to itunes. so i connect to itunes and it says iphone is in recovery mode - must restore phone to use, so i do that but it keeps getting stuck on the 'preparing to restore i phone' screen for a few mins before coming up with 'unknown error 1603'.
    anyone else had this problem?
    anyone know if i can log into i tunes on a different computer and try to restore it?
    if problem persists do i go to o2 shop where i bought it, or apple shop to sort it?? (stupid question probably) but i am clueless about this sort of thing! (i am insured)
    any help hugely appreciated

    i do that but it keeps getting stuck on the 'preparing to restore i phone' screen for a few mins before coming up with 'unknown error 1603'.
    Just doublechecking. Have you worked through the 1603-specific instructions from the following document?

    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.
