how to fix error 1015 while restoring

This error is usually the result of hacking (jailbreaking) the iPhone. It is likely now bricked.
Error 1015: This error is 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."

Badly need your help: How to fix my iphone 3gs restoration problem

it's been for a month now that i could not use my iphone 3gs. i encountered some problem which i have difficulty to fix or resolve the problem: Currently my iphone 3gs is in recovery mode (which it seems got stucked). When I plug my iphone to restore it via itunes the message appeared as follows: The iPhone"iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1). I already tried to search the web but could not find any suggestion how to fix it. If there's anymore that encountered the same problem, I highly appreciate if you could assist me step by step. By the way, i bought my iphone 3gs "open or unlocked", so I don't jailbrake. thanks.

You could try to use another USB port, check your security software settings or see if you can restore on another computer.

How to fix "use itunes to restore" problem on my iPod Classic 160G?

When I try to connect my iPod to iTunes on my PC, there was an alert to restore. I follow the direction. Stage 1 of the restore process was successful. But the Stage 2 of the restore process, when the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar in off backlight work so long time. Then I shutdown my PC. After that my iPod does not work. When I re-connect to PC there are appear "use itunes to restore" and "do not disconnect" alternately.How to fix the problem?
<Edited By Host>

for some reason when itunes first installs a new version, it opens up to the iTunes Store. Since you don't have net connection, its going to error out.
But the fact that you can't see any of the other items, I would recommend redownloading iTunes (and Quicktime to be sure) and reinstalling it and see if that helps.
Just for the record, can you click on the Library icon?

How to fix iPhone 2G itunes restore error 23

Hi.
I have had this iPhone 2g for a few years now. About three years ago my iphone 2g had displayed that there was no sim card while I knew my sim card was in there. I tried to restore and everything went downhill. To make a long story short, my iphone was unable to restore. No matter how many time si tried to restore it, i always got the error #23. Specifically it says:
"The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error occured (23)."
Now, itunes wants me to update my iphone firmware as well as restore it. I am not sure if this is contributing to the problem or not. Currently the iPhone is running 3.0.1 firmware.
I have tried using Recboot to exit recovery mode, but then the iphone is stuck on the apple logo forever.
Is there anything I haven't tried yet? Is this a fixable thing that I don't have to take to the genius bar or replace a part?
Please, if you can help, it woudl be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Collett.cm,
This article mentions the error code -1:

Error -1
Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.

Just fixed iPod stuck in Restore loop

Well I busted my iPod. So I purchased a hard drive for it and installed the unit. All my instructions (gleaned from boards and tutorials) said to connect the thing and restore the iPod. I connect it and it says it is in recovery mode and in order to use it I need to restore it. No surprise, I expected that. I click restore and enter my admin password. It seems to begin the process but then kicks out a warning that says it cannot restore because iPod is busy. I tried ejecting and putting into disk mode manually. I reconnect and the warning says the iPod is corrupted and needs a restore. I go through the whole rigamarole again and it says it is busy. If I leave it connected after the busy warning and click 'OK' then it automatically begins again, saying that the machine is in recovery mode and needs to be restored before i can use it. Same thing all over again...Click restore, admin pass, can't restore because the iPod is busy and so forth.
I tried ditching iTunes and re-installing it. No dice.
I tried erasing the drive with Disk Utility, but the erase failed citing an input/output error. the computer told me that partitioning the drive will eliminate some iPod functionality so I didn't try that.
I tried connecting it to my friend's computer. I got it to toss up a license agreement window for the iPod software (a good sign I guess) but I don't know his admin password to continue. The hope that lies therein is that the license agreement window for the iPod software pops up and that is something that differs from the process on my computer.
I tried going back to my computer and ditching iTunes again and reinstalling an earlier version. No dice. Earlier versions of iTunes will not recognize the library because it was created in a later version and therefore iTunes will not open.
I even tried giving the iPod the old smack in the palm of my hand like some have suggested, but again, no dice.
Any ideas on what needs to happen? How do I convince the computer that iPod is in fact not busy and really would rather restore itself? How does an iPod with literally nothing on its mind become busy and how, if it is, does it become "unbusy"?
(Update: I went back to my friend's computer with him there to enter his admin password. It now does the same thing my computer does and will not bring up the license agreement for iPod software.)

I had this problem today, and I think I figured it out. After multiple tries, and ITunes freezing up, I did a reboot with the IPod connected. I got a window saying that the drive was unrecognizable by the computer. It gave me three choices, to "verify," "Ignore" and another choice, I think it was "OK". I picked "ignore." Then I opened ITunes, it recognized the IPod, and it prompted me to restore again. This time it worked. I think that by telling the IMac to ignore the "drive," ITunes didn't see it as being busy. This makes sense to me, as I enabled the IPod to be used as a drive to store files. If this is the case, I'm surprised Apple doesn't see fit to provide decent documentation for these error codes or fix the problem in ITunes. Hope this helps for you.

How to fix my iPhone without restoring?

My iPhone did not have enough space for me to be able to update the software, but when I connected it with iTunes (in order to delete music) it gave me the option to update my phone. It was unable to update. There is now an image on the screen of a firewire and directions to connect to iTunes. I can't use my phone. I can only turn it on and off, and when I try to plug it into iTunes my only option is restoration. I would really prefer NOT to delete my data. Are there alternative solutions to this problem?

I am not aware of any other options.
Of course, if you have been syncing and backing up your iPhone, you will be able to easily recover your data from there.

TS3694 how to fix error 3194 while restoring

sorry i do not have any image for this problem. my screen goes black while i am trying to jailbreak my device

Goto -- (Assuming That its not Jail Broken)
My Computer --> C Drive--> Windows --> System32-->Drivers-->Etc--> Host File
-Cut (remove) this host file and past it on desktop.
-Now comeback to itunes - provided you have fresh itune installation after removing it COMPLETELY from your system (Ref- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923?viewlocale=en_US).
-Plug in your iphone to your windows via active USB port (no hub) and with good internet connection.
- Repeat the ios update process and avoid doing multitasking ( I was lil careful... :)).. And that worked for me ...updation took max 10 min's.
- Once the ios updation process is done , follow the instructions and complete the ragistration process. restart your iphone and its on ios 6 EnJOY !
- Put the HOST file back to its original path.
If this resolves your problem , Like it :-)

Safari, maps, utube and app store will not open on my ipad1? If I go to Settings and Safari and Clear Cookies, then Settings will close abruptly. How to fix?

Hi,
Neither Safari, utube, maps, itunes or app store will open on my ipad1. I tried to go to Settings, Safari and Clear Cookies - but when I do that Settings will abruptly close. How to fix. I tried restore - di not work.
Thankyou,
Jeff

Try downloading any free app and see if that helps to reset the iPad and return your apps to normal. If that doesn't work ...
Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. If that doesn't help try this ...
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

How do I perform a system restore in Windows 10?

QuestionHow do I perform a system restore in Windows 10?
AnswerNote: This article is about Windows 10. Separate articles are available on performing system restore in Windows 8 and Windows 7.
System restore rolls your system files back to a restore point from a previous date. You can make restore points manually, but Windows will also make them automatically. This will undo system settings, changes from Windows Update, and changes from newly installed software (including removing software installed since that restore point).
Your data, documents, and most programs won't be changed. This makes system restore a great place to start when you're having a problem and don't know how to fix it.
System restore reverts drivers installed since the restore point was created. Programs and apps installed since the restore point was created will also need to be reinstalled.
To view other recovery options in Windows 10, read this article:
What recovery options are available in Windows 10?
To perform a system restore, follow these steps:
Open the Start Menu and select Settings.
Select Update & security and then Recovery.
Under Advanced startup, select Restart now.
After the computer restarts to a screen with various options, select Troubleshoot.
Select Advanced options and then System Restore.
When you reach an account selection screen, select an account.
Enter your password and select Continue.
Follow the prompts, choosing your desired restore point. (You'll most likely want to use the most recent restore point from before the problem started).
You can also watch this video to learn how to perform a system restore:

If you want to create an image of the entire disk, then `dd' is an option. But you can also use ufsdump to create an image of a filesystem running on that disk, but you need to do that for every filesystem on the disk and please keep a copy of you vtoc for the future if you need to restore everything.
On the other hand you make me thing about someone who wants to clone machines and then a Flash Archive can also be an option. Please keep in mind to ask the question in the future instead of conformation of your answer ;-)

IPod Nano 4G 16GB How to fix special restore loop?

Hello Everyone,
I'm having serious problems with my iPod, because of what seems to be called an endless restore loop:
Hardware: Sony Vaio Laptop (Windows 7)
Any Win XP PC
IPod Nano 4.th Gen 16GB Firmware 1.0.4
What happens: Every time the iPod is activated it says: "Use iTunes to restore" on a white background.
Everytime I do restore it with iTunes it does everthing as expected, but as soon as it's done it says that there's an iPod in recovery mode, that needs to be restored. (Endless restore Loop).
What was tried:
- Normal Restore - same issue
- Disk Mode (no idea how I got there, menu+centre and centre+play doesn't work anymore, apple logo is never shown) Restore - same issue
- Changing the letter of the drive (iPod) on Windows - restoring fails afterwards
- Formating (fast and not-fast) (afterwards restoring - same issue)
- Turning off Avira - same issue
- Manual Firmware Restore (shift-click, 1.0.4 Firmware again) - same issue
What was achieved:
- Once the screen on which it tells me to use iTunes to restore wasn't white but it had a gradient (dark grey to black) and the iTunes Logo with an arrow below and below that it told me to use iTunes to restore (no idea haw I got that, now it's same as before)
- Nothing positive
What wasn't tried (but would make a difference probably):
- Third party software
- Mac instead of PC
- Emptiing the battery completely
- whatever you suggest
Thanks in advance!! Hope you can help in any way! Hope my english is understandable

How do I get out of this "Restore-loop"?

I recently tried to restore my iPod touch 2g to it's original settings by deleting everything. But I hit the restore button on the iPod itself instead of doing it through iTunes. Now it's in a "restore-loop" so to speak and won't turn on. I can put it into DFU mode but that doesn't change anything. It just goes back to the loop of turning on after that whenever i press a button. The main problem is I can't connect it to iTunes. It's not recognized by iTunes or my computer. What can I do to get out of this loop? Is there anything I can do myself or do I need to take it to an Apple store? If anyone has had the same problem or knows how to deal with this, I'd appreciate getting some suggestions as to how I can fix my iPod.

Follow the instructions here.
