I can not restore the software on my 3g  I get almost all the way thru and get a fault of 1015

I can not restore the software on my 3g iphone.  I get almost all the way thru the update and I get a fault of 1015.  Does anyone know how to fix this

According to Apple documentation error 1015 is:
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.

    If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:
    http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
    If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod),  however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll need to enter in your Apple ID and password to activate the device after restoring:

    10.5.8 with latest garageband 5.1 with MBOX 1. On Nov 4.09 I did a software update, now i get no output volume or input volume to the computer itself. I get it from head phones from my mbox, but not to the computer. Before the software update It worked great. I've tried upgrading software through digidesign .com, but they dont seem to have one for what i need. any way to get my old garage band back? go from 5.1 to earlier? Or maybe it was the upgrade to 10.5.8. update? Can i go back in time lol?
    Any help would be appreciated
    BTW
    Ive tried all the system sound prefs, and garage band drivers. Back and forth.
    cheers

    1. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.

  • I am getting a msg that pllocked and connected to wifi. I can not hit the ok button and my apps are visible. Not able to use at all.

    I am getting a msg that my ipad hasnt been backed up in 2 wks. I have plugged in (at 100%) and locked and connected to wifi. I can not hit the ok button and my apps are showing in the back ground. Not able to use at all. How can I get my ipad working again.
    thanks,

    Even though the iPod shows as been connected, it might not have actually received a valid IP address via DHCP from your Wi-Fi access point or router.  Head to Settings -> Wi-Fi and tap the > next to the network you are connected. If 169.xxx.xxx.xxx is listed for an IP Address, then your iPod did not receive a valid IP address.  To correct this you can reboot your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds.
    It wouldn't hurt to also reset your iPod.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • Good afternoon. I have a problem. During the upgrade Iphone 4 c IOS 4.3.5 to 5.0.1, I pulled the cord. Now I can not restore the Iphone. Just lost imei, Wi-Fi, and phone became unusable. What should I do?

    See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

  • HT201441 I can not find the previous owner and ask them the Apple ID!

    If you have bought a second-hand iPhone and the previous owner has locked it, only he can unlock it as indicated in the Help page you came here from. If you cannot contact him you will be unable to use the phone; there is no way round this.

    Good day!

    there is such programs, in which the screen does not go out when idle and continue to live their lives and conserving device, like a week ago so left and forgotten in a day no matter how much tried to include not turn on when the system is charging appears to connect to itunes.
    Now it does not start at all, can only be translated into DFU (HOME POWER 10 sec, then HOME 10 sec), the firmware was 5.x, I do not remember.
    connected to itunes, trying to restore (PC with win 7 x64), removed the antivirus, firewall turned off, the error 1602 to latest firmware (6.1).
    Sew while trying to previous official firmware using "SHIFT restore" - Error 1394
    Sew tried to MACBOOK, the same mistake in 1602 to the latest firmware.
    tried the above on WiFi or directly via ethernet.
    read different forums, clean file hosts, back returned the 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com to hosts, test it on a software update itunes and Windows, running the test in itunes, changed only the error number - 1602, 1601, 1600

    Hi imobl,
    Thanks for the reply.
    My issue is that I never actually backed up contacts or camera roll to any program like outlook or image viewer etc. Contacts and photos were just kept on the phone. I have been able to  view the itunes backup file  that is on the computer. The backup file has all my contacts and images on there.
    Are there any ways to get these contacts and images back into my ipad 2?
    (I have tried to import the contacts files from the itunes backup file into outlook but outlook does not understand the format.
    I have also tried to import the picture files from the itunes backup file into Irfanview but Irfanview doesnt understand the format either)
    I just realised I wrote the iphone model incorrectly. It was a 3 (not 3g) so I wasnt able to track it unfortunately as it was not able to connect up to Icloud etc

  • I recently downloaded a program and have now lost Firefox's "awesome bar" which has been replaced by the program's own search bar. How can I restore the "awesome bar" and get rid of the other search bar?

    I recently downloaded Bearshare.com which then overrode my Firefox "awesome bar". Now when I enter a search item in the search box at the upper right of my screen, I'm automatically shunted to this new search bar where I have to re-enter my search item and click return before it will begin a search. Previously, the Firefox "awesome bar" opened automatically together with my home page and I had the choice of searching using it or the default search box at the upper right of my screen. I 'uninstalled' Bearshare but it now continues to come up when I search using the right hand top search box , forcing me to use it instead of the search box at the upper right of my screen. How do I get rid of it completely so that only the "awesome bar" appears as an extra tab when I open Firefox browser?

    First, some clarification:
    * The location bar (often called the "awesome bar") is the larger bar on the left that shows you the address of the page you are currently viewing. As you type in the location bar it searches your history and bookmarks for matches.
    * The search bar is the smaller one on the right. It typically displays an icon of whichever search engine is currently selected and may display search suggestions as you type in it.
    It sounds like you are referring to the search bar rather than the location bar. You can change search engines for the search bar by clicking on the icon on the left edge of the search bar and choosing a different one. You can also choose "Manage Search Engines" to remove ones you aren't interested in using.
    It also sounds like Bearshare might have changed your homepage in Firefox. To restore that you will need to open the preferences menu (click Tools > Preferences), go to the General tab (first on the top left), and click "Restore to Default".

  • HT5312 what if i can not remember the security questions and no longer have access to the rescue email address?

    Hi
    I can not remember my security questions and no longer have access to the email account that i used for my rescue email.
    I have a new ipad and can not buy anything on the app store until i can resolve this.

    On your computer or safari on your iOS device navigate to:
              For Canada - https://appleid.apple.com/ca.
              For United States - https://appleid.apple.com/us/.
    Click the "Manage your Apple ID" button, and sign in to your iCloud account.  Once in, on the left side select "Password and Security", and this will populate our options on the right side.  You should see an option to reset your security questions. 
    Also see this article - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312. 
    If for any reason you can not reset these security questions, or get an error, then you may need to contact Apple directly at 1 800 692 7753.  Explain the issue, and they can get your to a "Account Security" agent, who will be able to verify your identity, and assist in resetting the security questions.
