IOS 7 RESTORE ERROR 40

I want to restore back to ios 7 and i found myself stuck in a recovery mode loop. I try to restore but all I get is ERROR 40. PLEASE HELP. YES I DISABLED THE FIREWALL AND ALL THAT. PLEASE FIX ITUNES

Hi,
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot 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 the 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.
Hope that helps.

  • Ios 7 restore error 1

    Hi Everybody,
    My iphone 4s is giving me the searching... problem and it fixes itself for 5 mins and goes back to searching... After yesterday i have not been able to fix it at all and i thought it would be a good idea to restore but itunes is giving me error one meaning i cant restore my phone or use it at all... Can anybody help me?

    I had the same problem:
    "Searching..". error, then it cycled through 3G no 3G then searching...
    Tried updating software... no luck
    so tried to restore from recovery mode
    Then got first "error 1" at the firmware stage (after trying all ports and ca 10 times to restore on two different computers with multiple resets and software updates etc)
    Then I held the home button until the "connect to itunes screen" went away whilst plugged in which brought up iTunes
    and the error changed to "error 3", but still stalled at the firmware stage
    Then I cycled through the ports again and the very back one worked! Hooray! Points for persistence.
    I now have a factory restored phone which has connected to the network!
    Wizardry!

  • Ios 5 restoring error on my ipad 2

    hi so recently i bought an ipad 2.  i realized that my ipad was not on ios5, so i wanted to update it to ios5. After i updated it to ios5, it started restoring. accidently during this process i disconnected my ipad from itunes. Then i quickly held the  sleep button on the top and the home button and brought it to dfu mode. Then when i tried to restore it later, it seemed to work, the loading bar on the ipad was complete but the loading bar on itunes was almost complete but froze. and the ipad froze aswell. Is there anything i can do to fix this?!?! HELP!!!!
    p.s: this was on my mac.

  • 5s 8.1 iOS: Restore errors 4005. Won't update or restore

    Hi Guys,
    I downloaded the 8.1 update via the latest iTunes and connected my 5s to update.
    The update failed and i got the 4005 restore error: iOS: Restore errors 4005, 4013, and 4014
    Now when turn on the 5s it just shows the symbol to connect to iTunes.
    So I plug in and get this:
    I click 'Restore' then get this
    So I click 'Restore and Update', then I get Restore Error 4005 again and get stuck in an infinite loop!
    I did create a backup yesterday so I'm not worried about any lost data.
    I have deleted the update and I'm downloading again now. I will also try with a different USB cable and on a different PC.
    Any suggestions or a fix would be much appreciated?
    Thanks.

    Also FYI: The USB cable is a new authentic Apple lighting cable
    Okay so I deleted and downloaded the update via iTunes again, plugged in the 5s via USB and still get:
    After Restore and Update: 'Extracting software...'
    Then:
    Then:
    Then:
    'Extracting software...
    Then: Preparing iPhone for install.
    Now:
    And the 'Connect to iTunes symbol' disappears leaving the screen still turned on but all black.
    Then after a few minutes:
    Hope that helps...

  • HT201442 My appple tv shows recovary mode..and after updating it shows an error " iOS: Restore error 3194 or 'This device isn't eligible for the requested build "

    My apple tv shows recovary mode in itune.
    when I update it on windows 7 laptop through itune it shows an "restore error of 3194".
    What is that error And how can I fix it and use apple tv again

    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

    Hey jestinsinclairr,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you had one issue and then got a second trying to resolve the first. A frustrating situation for sure. The first article linked has what to do if it is not powering on unless plugged in. The second article addresses the error you are receiving when trying to restore.
