    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.

    Hey there ejs11201,
    I see that you are getting an error code when attempting to restore your iPhone. Here is an article that addresses that specific code with some troubleshooting steps and will help you resolve the issue:
    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't blocking a connection to the Apple servers.

  • I've iPhone 4s, and I am trying to update it to iOS 5.1 I've downloaded the software from iTunes, but when I click to install it, it says: "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone 'Donnbjj1's IPhone'. An unknown error occurred (1480)"

    I have an Iphone 4s 32gb and i'm trying to update it to ios 5.1. i've downloaded the software from itunes but when i click on it to install it to my actual phone it says: "There was a problem downloading the software for Iphone 'Donnbjj1's Iphone' . An unknown error occurred (1480)."

    iOS: Resolving update and restore alert messages
    For error -50: See error 13 and 14: 
    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

  • ITunes could not copy "Song Name" to the iPhone because an unknown error occurred (-50)

    Recently when I tried syching one of my playlists into my iPhone 4 (Running on 5.1) using iTunes 11.2.0.26 for Windows (Windows XP SP3), I have been having a problem with some songs I acquired recently.  It will sync all the other songs, but when it reaches the song in question, the following error message pops up:
    "iTunes could not copy "Name of Song" to the iPhone because an unknown error occurred (-50)"
    After which, it stops synching songs altogether.
    I tried TWO different USB connectors (BOTH from Apple), and the error still occurs.  When I remove the song in question, ALL songs sync normally.
    I used the 'Get Info' option to see if there was something in the way the song was coded.  This info is from one of the songs that gets synched normally:
    Kind:                  MPEG Audio file
    Size:                  11 MB
    Bit Rate:            256 kbps
    Sample Rate:     44.100 kHz

    Format:             MPEG-1, Layer 3
    Channels:          Stereo
    ID3 Tag:            v2.3
    Encoded with:   LAME
    THIS is the info on the problematic song:
    Kind:                  MPEG Audio file
    Size:                  8.2 MB
    Bit Rate:            256 kbps
    Sample Rate:     44.100 kHz

    Channels:          Joint Stereo
    ID3 Tag:            v2.3
    Encoded with:   LAME3.96
    By the way, BOTH song (The ones synching normally, and this unsynching song), where purchased and downloaded from Amazon.com.
    ANY information that will help me solved this problem will be VERY appreciated.  Likewise, if you need any additional information, please let me know...
    Thanks for your time.

  • ITunes could not connect to the iPhone because an unknown error occurred (OxE8000001)

    Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I don't have the nerves to read through thousands of "I've got the same problem too" replies. I do not care whether anyone has the same problem. So if you don't have any solution do not post! I'm not being rude, I'd just keep this discussion as accessible for other readers as possible. Besides, shouting "me too" doesn't really help anyone. Thank you.
    Here's my problem, I sync my iPhone via iTunes 10.5.2, which works fine but after a while it prompts with an error message "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because an unknown error occurred (OxE8000001)". This error message will not disappear and I have to force shut-down iTunes. It works OK for a while after re-start but the error comes back after a while. It is a very annoying little problem because I was waiting for WIFI syncing for so long and now it doesn't work properly
    Any ideas how to remedy this?

  • Itunes could not back up the iPhone because an unknown error occurred

    I am trying to update my Iphone 3GS to the 4.01 update, but I keep getting this error: "Itunes could not back up the iPhone because an unknown error occurred" Then Itunes tells me to reconnect my Iphone and try again, I do so...and I retry the update and I get the same error over and over again. What do I do? I can't update my phone...

    Nevermind, I misread.

  • There was a problem downloading the software for the iphone. An unknown error occured (-23)

    Hi,
    I cant seems to restore my iphone or even downloading the latest iOS 5 update. The error message is as per subject: "there was a problem downloading the software for the iphone. An unknown error occured (-23)"
    Anyone know how to resolve this?
    I have no issue with my network connection.
    thanks

  • Itunes could not connect to this iphone because an unknown error occured (0xE8000003)

    itunes could not connect to this iphone because an unknown error occured (0xE8000003)
    tried uninstalling itunes and restarting reinstalling, didnt change problem.

    The article may not explicitly mention the error code but it does say +the error may be the same as above but end with a different number+. I've now found a forum on another site (http://forum.upsb.info/showthread.php?t=2813&page=2&s=f1904afbf5d4475d933fabcb9b 022f7e last post) that says :
    1, Go to the folder C:/Program Data/Apple/Lockdown (in Vista or 7)
    2, Delete SystemConfiguration (system file)
    As I havn't had the error I don't know whether the above fixes it - and if you try it I'd suggest taking a backup or renaming the file, not deleting it, in case it doesn't work and you want to restore the file.
