I get an error 9 when I try to restore my iPhone 4s

The title pretty much sums it up, but a little background.
While reading a kindle book my 4s shut itself off. It then started, went to the apple screen, cut to white screen, and shut off again. It repeated this in an unending loop.
Since I had not backed up my Iphone since January, I was frantic, because I had over 650 pictures on there. Anyway, I tried charging it and after a while it started working again. Miracle of Miracles! So I instantly uploaded all the pictures onto my laptop, but was unable to back the phone up again. But it was late and I figured I'd try it again later.
The next day, during normal activities such as reading a book, playing a game, or even swiping on the home screen, the phone would randomly cut off, restart, and then be fine.
Finally it cut off again, and went into the dreaded cycle.
Even though I hadn't backed it up fully, I decided to try to restore it. It was the only option I could think of. (I've already ordered a new phone, but it won't be here for 2 weeks, so I'm trying to fix this one temporarily to avoid getting a trac-phone.)
Initially I got a high numbered error message when I tried to restore the phone. So I updated my computers OS and Itunes. Then I tried again.
Now I"m getting an Error 9 message. After looking up the troubleshooting for that message, I don't know what to do. I don't have any periphials on my computer: just the power cable and the usb connected to the phone.
Does anyone have any ideas, or am I just the last guy holding the bag and out of luck here?
TL:DR?
I have to restore my 4S and I'm getting an Error 9 when I try. Nothing extra is attached to my computer, and the OS and Ituns is up to date.
Thank you all in advanced!

Hi there,
Do you have icloud account? You need firstly turn off find my iphone (by go to icloud.com -->sign in --> go to "Find my iphone" and erase your iphone in it). And then you restore your iphone with DFU mode.
When you erase your Find my iphone and if you can not restore, your iphone has a problem with hardware.
Some infos can help you.
Kind regards,

These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

My ipod touch is getting an error when I try to restore. It says 2003 error. It's frozen.

My ipod touch got a 2003 error when I tried to restore. It's frozen. I've tried everything I've read but nothing works.

For the error try:
"Error 2000-2009: (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on) If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. Learn how to reset the SMC. 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, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue continues, it may be related toconflicting security software."
Above from:
Update and restore alert messages on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
To unfreeze have your tried:
- Resetting:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Placing the iPod in recovery mode and restoring it. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Placing is DFU mode and restoring it

Saying you tried everything is not really helpful since it is very easy to miss something. It is helpful to say what tried and did not work.

I keep getting and error when I try to start my iTunes. "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, Then install iTunes again. Error 2(Windows error 2)"....

I keep getting and error when I try to start my iTunes. "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support is required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes, Then install iTunes again. Error 2(Windows error 2)".... I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and the error still occurs!!! This started happening after I installed the 10.3 update

I took the time to research it and come across a couple of people who experienced the same trouble and so I listed some of there steps(with Credits) and some people said that they worked.

OK, this worked for me:( Original Post by r0tt3n4pp13)
1. Save iTunes install file to your desktop.
2. Disconnect from internet.
3. Disable Firewall/Security software.
4. Run install. Note that it installs Application Support and a bunch of other software this time.
5. Run iTunes.
6. Enable Firewall/Security software.
7. Reconnect to internet.
8. Download Watchmen Director's Cut post haste.
OR!
(Original post by Cr4z33)
1. Download and install WinRAR.
2. Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe icon and choose "Open with WinRAR".
3. Once the EXE is opened in WinRAR, double-click AppleApplicationSupport.msi and when the installer window is open choose "Repair".
4. Done! You can now run iTunes normally.

I would get an external drive today and copy all your stuff off the TC.. forget trying to load more onto it. There is a good chance after 3years (A 2TB should be only about 2years tops), the disk or the TC itself is on the way out. Do it immediately. If TM is also failing to backup you need to recognise symtoms of impending doom.
Unfortunately the error messages are archane and it is hard to discover their meaning.
You also cannot verify a network drive.. you can verify the TM sparsebundle though so do that.
A5. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Reboot the whole network from off.. certainly if you run later OS it can simply lose the drive..
If you still fail to be able to copy to the TC.. then get that external and copy off it. Tell us if you can do that.

WHEN TRYING TO DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION OF ITUNES, I KEEP GETTING AN ERROR WHEN I TRY TO OPEN IT. MSVCR80.dll was not found

AFTER DOWNLOADING THE LATEST VERSION OF ITUNES, I CAM GETTING AN ERROR WHEN I TRY TO OPEN IT. MSVCR80.DLL WAS NOT FOUND. UNABLE TO LOCATE COMPONENT. BEFORE I REMOVE THIS VERSION AND TRY TO RELOAD AGAIN, JUST WANTED TO BE SURE I WOULDN'T LOSE ALL 200 PURCHASED SONGS ON MY PC.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

"Unable to connect to server" I have wifi connection but I'm getting this error when I try to purchase an app. Why?

"Unable to connect to server" I have wifi connection but I'm getting this error when I try to purchase an app. Why? If anyone knows can you please help me thank you in advance. :-(

Can you load a webpage in Safari with that wifi connection? If so then it's a problem with the iTunes Store app connection. If not then your wifi isn't fully functional and you need to troubleshoot that first.

Hello !
Could you please be more elaborative for explaining your issue?

I get an error when I try to move instances of public folders.

We have exchange 2003 and exchange 2010 setup in a coexistence environment. I get an error when I try to move instances of public folders from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010. "Unable to create the required MAPI profile. Please verify that you have
sufficient permissions to write to the MAPISVC.INF file. ID no: c103073a Exchange system Manager." I have checked the permissions on the exchange 2003 server. I am unable to locate the MAPISVC.inf file on the exchange 2010 server. This is the last set
before we begin our move to exchange 2010 and then on to exchange 2013. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Do you mean you get the error like the following one?
An error occurred while trying to establish a connection to the Exchange Server. Be sure that port 443 (for ssl) or port 80 (for non-ssl) can be reached. If you are connecting to the public folders, be sure that the public store is mounted. If you are connecting
to the mailboxes and the progress bar shows particular mailbox. Be sure that the user has at least one email address.
Exception failed to connect using secure URL https://gsfcdp16es/esadmin/admin/nyu.email.gs.com/publicfolders with error.
The underlying connection was closed. Unable to connect to the remove server.
Please check if you can expand PF tree in ESM.
Please make sure SSL is disabled on /ExAdmin and /Public virtual directory. If possible, you can recreate the ExAdmin virtual directory to check result.

Try to go to Settings and then Store. Tap to your Apple ID and select View Apple ID. Now choose to check your payment information and when you're done tap Done. I had to rewrite my three digit code of the credit card and now it works.
Oh, I also activated Genius for Apps but I don't think it makes any difference.

Are you running iTunes 11.0.1 (current version)? If not, get it at http://www.apple.com/itunes

Why do I keep getting an error when I try to sync my phone with iTunes? It says I don't have enough privileges.

Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
