HELP ME PLEASE!!! iphone 4 fails to restore via itunes, error code -1

okay, so i have an iphone 4 and i updated it to ios 6.1, it failed to do so and shows the arrow and asks to connect to itunes. im freaking out, because the last time i tried connecting to itunes, it restored my software, now i does not. it keeps showing error code -1.
i checked on apple website, it says it may be due to security settings and asked to turn off firewall. but my macbook pro has firewall off, also mine is a new phone, not jailbreak. ive tried everything. nothing works. there r hundred other threads out there on the same error... nothing works... i tried all...

    Possible causes

    Your antivirus or firewall is blocking access to  gs.apple.com
    Your phone is jailbroken

  • IPhone 4 won't restore backup, no error code

    I recently backed-up my iPhone 4 running iOS 7.1.1, and when I try to restore the backup in iTunes, it loads all the way and then gives me the error "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored because an error occured." I've tried many things, I've restored the iPhone many times and attempted to restore the backup many times too. I really need to restore the backup to my phone, and I don't understand why it's not s

    Okay - other things I would try is different USB cables and restoring on another computer if possible.
    If no joy with either of those, make an appointment at an Apple store near you and bring it in to be evaluated. It may have a hardware problem and will need to be replaced.

  • IPhone 4 won't restore from iTunes - Error 2

    Hi,
    Since upgrading to IOS 7 my iphone 4 has been stuck on the connect to iTunes screen. I cannot turn if off and every time I try restoring it from iTunes I get the same error message 2. I have scoured the internet for possible fixes and tried almost every suggestion that was feasible to no avail. This is my last shot before admitting defeat and trekking to a genius bar. The phone is a few years old and no longer under warranty so I expect some hefty charges! Any help much appreciated.
    Thank you very, very, very much!

  • Failed to restore iPod touch (Error code 9)

    Few days after upgarding my iPod touch to iOS 5, I got a message on the iPod saying I need to connect to iTunes.
    After connecting to teh iPod to the PC, the iTunes says I need to restore the device.
    I tried to restore few times with no success - each time the follwoing message is displayed:
    "The iPod could not be restored. An unkown error occured (9)".
    How can I restore the iPod back to normal operation ?
    Roy

    Try this, copied from Update and restore error messages on iPhone and iPod touch
    Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

    After i updated my iphone 4s from 8.1.2 to 8.1.3 problem occurred.i cant restore and update my phone?saying that iphone could not be restored,an unknown error ocuurred.please help me?

    Thanks for the update and clarification. In researching the issue it seems that the 2003 error code may have something to do with the USB connection. I would use this section of one of the above articles:
    Get help with iOS update and restore errors
    If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you might not be able to update or restore.
    To narrow down the issue, you can try different equipment:
    Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable. 
    Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
    Try a different computer.
    Solve other issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
    If you still see the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.
    Check for hardware issues
    Related errors: 1, 3, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
    These errors mean that your device or computer might have a hardware issue that stops the update or restore from completing.
    Check that your security software and settings aren't blocking your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Make sure that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

    The phone was jailbroken. That's what that error indicates. You can't get help here. You can't get help from Apple.
    Try Google.

    the iphone could not be restored an unknown error occurred 14 ...  please help me

    Hello ahmedhelmy41
    That error is typically related to USB issues when trying to update or restore. Check out the article below to troubleshoot the issue further. There are also a few things to try that are quoted down below.
    Resolve issues between iTunes and security software
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    Regards,
