  • TS3694 I am getting 1015 error message when trying to restore iphone 3Gs

    I am getting error message when trying to restore iphone 3gs

    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.

  • Error 3014 when trying to restore iphone

    I keep getting error code 3014 when trying to restore my iphone 3g please help O am uding latest version of itunes. It will sync phne, and backup but will not restore.

    Hey,
    You saved my life. I tried everything, even manipulating the host file on your PC, but still failed with the restore. Tried on 3 different PCs, at least 20 times, all in vein.
    Then, as u suggested I turned off the firewall, and it immediately solved my problem,
    Now my iPad has been restored, thanks to you. I was about to take it to the service to have it repaired, but now I don't need it.
    Thank you again.

  • ITunes displays error 14 when trying to restore iPhone.

    I am trying to restore my iPhone 5s with iTunes. I put the phone in Recovery Mode and I also tried DFU Mode. None of them work as both of the methods display error 14. I looked up some ways and it said to reinstall the Firmware. Tried that, no success. I also did it with 2 different Lightning Connectors and 4 different computers. 2 Windows and 2 Macs, both also failed. How do I fix this error? Thank you.

    get error message when trying to sync iphone to puter that says"cannot connect because apple mobile divise is not started? what do i do?

    Restart your computer and the iPhone. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.

    Are you trying to downgrade your iPhone?
    Errors related to downgrading iOS
    The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed.   Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
    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.
    (from iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting)
    If not, try to move or delete the IPSW file and let iTunes download it again.
    Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)
    iTunes uses "ipsw" files to restore your device. If those  files  are unusable, then try deleting them, renaming them, or moving the file  to a different directory. This will cause  iTunes to  download a new copy of the IPSW.    When a restore issue is specific to a  user, it is likely due to an unusable .ipsw file. If removing the .ipsw file does not resolve a user-specific restore issue, then the issue is caused by other user-specific security software settings or iTunes preferences. Creating a new user  will also cause new .ipsw restore files to be downloaded in the new  user. You can find the ".ipsw" files in these locations:
    Mac OS X
    iPhone
    ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
    iPad
    ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates
