Iphone 3gs in recovery; needs restore; but gets error code

I have a new 3gs Iphone.
I installed the newest version of ITUNES- 9.something.
I start the SETUP IPHONE PROCESS.
I am told that I need to upgrade to new Iphone OS.
It takes 2 hours to download.
I get an error
I try to reconnect the iphone - GET MESSAGE that the phone is in recovery and needs to be restored.
I start restore - i get an error. I start again. It shows all the green bars as completed but then freezes. I restart the computer.
ITUNES tells me again that Iphone is in recovery and needs restore.
I start restore. I get a message: The Iphone could not be restored. An unknown error occured (14).
I don't know what to do.

I have had this same problem, and you'll find out it will eventually work, but then after that your phone wont even start up and wont be able to connect to your computer! it's only allowing me to make Emergency Calls
This new update has really peeved me, i need my phone for work.
Try another computer, updating itunes, or different ports, restarting computer. Only thing i can think of sorry.

    iphone 3gs not abe to restored ...error unknown error occurred (2003)

    Hey caprameg,
    If you are having issues restoring your iPhone, take a look at the resource below for some initial troubleshooting steps.
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-lb/HT201210
    Get help with iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-lb/TS3694
    To narrow down the issue, you can try different equipment:
    Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable. 
    Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
    Try a different computer.
    Solve other issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
    Check that your security software and settings aren't blocking your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Make sure that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    I hope this information helps ....

    Trying to install Lightroom 5 with CC but getting error code 5 on initial startup of Lightroom. Have uninstalled all adobe products including Creative Cloud CC.
    Followed the instructions on the forum by using the CC Cleaner App for OSX. Have restarted a number of times and even tried using disk utility to fix any permission probs. Still no luck.
    The problem started happening from upgrading the previous version of Lightroom to the most up to date version. Im hoping someone can help me with any ideas. Thanks heaps.

    Ended up fixing the problem after finding no answers. Deleted the following file

  • Able to export idvd but getting error codes when I try to export my project any other way

    I have created an iMovie using a variety of video files from a GoPro, Nikon DLSR and some iPhone clips. Additionally, there are a large number of stills and mp3 files used in my project. The video runs 42 minutes.
    The only succesful 'sharing' I've been able to do is to iDVD. All attempts at exporting my finished project have resulted in error codes (~49, ~108 are the most common error codes).
    I've read through a lot of threads but haven't been able to find the solution to my problem. I believe I have ample disk space and memory and fear that there is an issue going on with the organization of the files that is causing iMovie to lose its way during the export. I'm not running Time Machine which is a common solution I've seen in many threads.
    Ideally I'd like to export an HD quality video to Vimeo so I can share it with relatives.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    sound like the hard drive is starting to go out. you may want to contact Apple for service and repair options.

  • TS3694 Got phone wet tried to restore but got error code 2001?

    Help anybody have a similar situation ,specifically error code 2001?

    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. 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. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

  • HT201210 iphone won't charge or restore, keep getting error message

    Last night I plugged my iPhone 4 into the APPLE wall charger and it would not recognize it to charge it, I unplugged it and plugged my iPad into the same charger and it worked so it was clearly my phone.  I called my service provider because I was going out of town today and it was already late at night. I was going to re-activate my old iPhone 3 until I could take it in and get it looked at....that was a nightmare....it's always a sad day when a consumer knows more about a product then the person selling them......she told me to take my sim card out of my iPhone 4 and just put it into my iPhone 3 and it would work, there was no need to call in....seriously??? They are TWO DIFFERENT cards that don't work in one another....if it was that simple would I have really called in the first place.....UGH! ANYWAYS..................so after she hooked up my old iPhone 3 to my husbands account and disconnected his iPhone 4S.....she is real swift.....I put my sim card in my husband's phone to get through the day! WIth my iPhone 4 only have 9% battery left I turned it off and left it over night.  Then this morning while it was turned off I plugged it back into the same charger and the apple sign appeared.....so that would tell me that it's not the charging port that is the problem....except it still won't recognize the charger? I have done a reset...hold the home and power button at the same time with no luck, called apple and followed their instructions of holding the home button and plugging it into the USB port that is hooked to the computer to do a restore, it makes it through like it's going to restore and then I get the following message: The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1604)
    If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
    Thanks!

    Hello tsugi1002,
    It sounds like your iPhone 4S is not charging when plugged into your computer.  I found an article with some steps that might help with this.  I recommend reviewing the steps in the sections titled "Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter" and "Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off" in the following article:
