IPhone 4 cannot update or restore through iTunes

Dear all,
I have a iPhone 4 16 GB, bought in September of last year.
I havent updated the phone in a while, and since a couple of months I am trying, and after downloading the update through iTunes, i get the message: Cannot reach the server.
The same happens when i try to restore the iphone through itunes.
The iphone is entirely original so no jailbreak or unlocking.
I am not a pro, so if someone could help me in dummy language, i would owe you my life haha
version: 4.0.2
modem firmware: 01.59.00

it seems that itunes can't connect to the apple servers. This is usually caused by your firewall. Turn it off. If turning it off doesn't help or you don't have a firewall, goto this site:

  • I cannot get my ipod touch to update and restore through itunes (forgotten passcode)

    My daughters 5th gen ipod touch will not update and restore in itunes after she changed and forgot her passcode. My laptop recognizes her ipod but says it needs the passcode to do anything. I've tried the restore and update options and it starts the update (telling me anywhere from 4-10 hours) and after a varied amount of time, it fails.
    Any help? I have a very frustrated middle schooler!
    Thanks!

  • Hi, my iphone 5 will not restore through iTunes.  Error codes 2001 and 2006 appear.  Please help.

    Hi,
    My iPhone5 will not restore through iTunes.  Error code 2001 appears and once I received error code 2006.  Please help?

    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.

    Hello sking1985,
    It sounds like your phone is unable to complete the update process and seems to be stuck on the Apple logo with a progress bar below it. I recommend putting the device into recovery mode, and attempting the restore again with this article:

    How do i restore my iphone when it has been disabled and cannot be restored through itunes because of the error message that says "The iphone software update server could not be contacted

    Have you jailbroken this device? This will make the iPhone not talk to the Software Update Server (that signs and accepts software updates) please refer to the following link? Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
    The iPhone will talk to the software update servers, just need to change the host files, it's a simple process, sorry if you were confused about the wording in to top?

  • My iPhone 4s screen went black. I can hear the phone receiving messages though. I tried to restore through itunes. I failed because "find my iPhone" app is on, I cannot switch it on since the screen is black and I can't see

    Instead of trying to restore through iTunes, use the Find My iPhone to your advantage.
    Either go to www.icloud.com and perform a remote wipe of the device via FMiP, or download the FMiP app to another iOS device and do it from there.
    A remote wipe will also restore the device back to factory settings.

  • HT4528 my month and a half old iphone 5s had a blue screen and now just has a black screen. will not reboot or restore through itunes. what do i do?

    my  iphone 5s has been showing a blue screen and shuttiing down. yesterday night it did just that and now will not reboot or even restore through itunes.
    what should i do?

    Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

  • HT4623 I just tried updating my iPad through iTunes and it said it was unsuccessful and now is telling me to restore my iPad!! why is this and I'm not sure if it did back up because my iPad will not turn on.

    I just tried updating my iPad through iTunes and it said it was unsuccessful and now is telling me to restore my iPad!! why is this and I'm not sure if it did back up because my iPad will not turn on.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT4623 after updating to iOS 6.0.1 my iphone 3s won't recognize my SIM card. i updated my phone through iTunes, what happened to my phone?

    after updating to iOS 6.0.1 my iphone 3s won't recognize my SIM card. i updated my phone through iTunes, what happened to my phone?

    If it now says "invalid" or "unsupported" SIM, your iPhone was almost certainly hacked to unlock it from the original cell carrier and updating has now removed that hack and the iPhone has relocked back to that original carrier. You will have to contact that carrier and ask if it would be possible to get your iPhone officially unlocked.
