Had my iphone 4 stolen and now have iphone 3g but it wont restore and keeps coming up with error 1015! My laptop has the latest updated version of Itunes? Please help

I had my iphone 4 stolen and have been lent an iphone 3G, I have tried to restore the phone but its coming up with error 1015 and wont restore. I have the current Itunes software on my computer and there are no further updates to be done.  Please help

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.  Very rarely this error is caused by a hardware issue and requires service.

  • My ipad keeps showing the apple logo and nothing else and it wont restore it keeps coming up with error 19

    I have an iPad 2nd generation and all it does is show the apple logo continuously and  nothing else. I cannot get into the iPad and I have tried to restore it numerous times but it comes up with error 19 or error 14. Or it restores but after it has it just comes back up with the apple logo once again and nothing changes or it flashes a few times. does anyone know how to fix this?
    Cheers Meg

    You need to put your iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow the instructions in this Apple support document very carefully. It might take several attempts to get it to work.

    Hello Jane Benstock,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
    It sounds like the next best step to take would be to reset the iPod Shuffle.
    Check out this article named Resetting iPod shuffle found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655.

  • I have itunes 11.1.4.62 and both my ipod touch that tells me it has the latest update and my iphone 4s with the latest update will not show up, why is this so difficult?

    Why wont my iphone 4s or my ipod touch sync with itunes 11.1.4.62? It wont even recognize that ive plugged it in, it only charges while itunes has no idea its there.

    I've had this exact problem for about 2 weeks. neither my iphone 4s, ipod touch, or any of my friends iphones and ipods wont even show up in itunes. i click Sync the file column and its greyed out not detecting anything. all apple did was say "reinstall" it. i did about 3 times before calling.... then they said check to see if its all up to date. which everything is. they had nothing else to say.
    also since iOS 7 came out my iphone 4s wont connect to wifi. that option is just greyed out. my battery can go from 100% and untouched unplugged and sit on my desk for an hour and itll somehow be at 23% battery. apple gave me a new phone and did the same exact thing. idk what theyre doing over there.

    Hi there Holly N,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Configure your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, or 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.

  • TS3694 iphone5 is in recovery mode and when i try to reboot it on itunes it keeps coming up with error 21

    iphone5 is in recovery mode and when i up date it on itunes it keeps coming up with error 21.

    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot 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 the 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.
