The issue could be with whatever the Unnecessary on a Mac 3rd Party AV software is...
Turn it OFF.
Better yet... Uninstall it.

In General 3rd Party AV Software is Not Required as Mac OS X tends to look after itself.

HT201210 iPhone 4 stuck in recovery mode and will not restore.

My iPhone 4 randomly turned off a few days ago and wouldnt turn back on. I plugged it into iTunes which said it was in recovery mode but will not restore as error 1600 keeps propping up. Someone please help, I have tried lots of ways but none are working.

Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

My iPhone is stuck in recovery mode, I can't restore/update my device. I keep getting error 2001. I've tried basically every trouble shooting step out there. Any suggestions?

It died while i was at work and when i went to plug it into my car charger all i saw was the apple logo coming and going. so when i got home i put it in recovery mode and tried to restore and I got Error 2001. I have no idea what to do.

My iphone is stuck on recovery mode and won't restore

My phone randomly turned off, then when i turned it back on it was on restore mode. i plugged it in to itunes and it said there was a problem and that it needed to be updated and restored. I processed to update and restore it a numerous amount of times, but each time it finishes it comes up with the notification that there is a problem and the iphone is still in recovery mode. How do i fix it??

You'll have to get your device checked by visiting an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider, your problem might be hardware related.

Ipad stuck in recovery mode and won't restore--error code 1604

I tried to backup and update my ipad this evening and when doing so it now is stuck on the itunes and USB screen. When I connect the Ipad to the Itunes it says the Ipad is in recivery mode and to restore. I click ok and it tells me i can't restore the ipad and gives me an error code of 1604. I have no idea where to go from here or what happened. Any ideas?

Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
   1. Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
   2. Restore and wait for error 1604.
   3. When prompted, click OK.
   4. Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
   5. iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
   6. Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

IPhone 5 stuck in recovery mode and can't update and restore

Hi everyone,
I need a little advice.
I was updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 yesterday and during the installation/updating process something went wrong (I have no idea what!) But now it is stuck in recovery mode. I have tried and failed to get it out of recovery mode. So I decided, I'll just take the loss and restore it, losing whatever I haven't backed up.
However, when updating and restoring my device I get the some error message each time: Can't restore iphone: error 3194.
I've tried updating iTunes, even trying using iTunes on my other computer, no luck.
So I decided to book a genius bar appointment.
Will they be fit to fix it? Also if not fixable can I get a replacement phone even though it's out of warrenty? And what help or charges occur when out of warrenty?
I would really appriciate any responces!
Thank you!

If that Article does not resolve it... then you have a problem.
Perhaps a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required..
Be sure to make an appointment first...
Note:
That error message may be indicative of the Device being Hacked / jailbroken.... If this is the case then you are on your own.

My iPhone is stuck in recovery mode and won't restore

IPhone 4 stuck on Recovery Mode. Can't Restore :(

So I was trying to downgrade my iPhone's iOS from 4.3.5 to 4.2.1 so it successfully worked with RedSn0w.
Then when i rebooted my iPhone the iTunes Cable Screen Showed even if i remove the cable from my PC, when Iopen my iPhone, the iTunes Cable would still show up.
Then when i plugged it into my PC the details came out of my iTunes shows:
It says it's on Recovery Mode but i Tried RecBoot to exit the Recovery mode but it keeps on coming back. Now I can't restore, an error occurs if I restore. HEEELPPP me kill the recovery mo! i don't wanna go to an Apple Store as far as I can...

I forgot to say that I did edit the hosts file and removed all lines containing apple.com and yet I still get the same 3194 error.

Iphone 5C stuck in Recovery Mode and will not restore

Hi there, iv'e come across what seems to be quite a common problem at the moment.
I tried to update my 5C to the latest firmware this morning and apparently something went wrong. The update was fine up until about 3/4 way through and then i recived an error message, error (12) to be specific, It now seems to be completely stuck in Recovery Mode as it continues to do the same thing when i try to restore it. Iv'e had previous iphones thta have went into Recovery mode but i easly got past this issue. Nothing i do seems to be helping it, iv'e tried restoring it about 10 times and the same error comes up every time. Iv'e uninstalled and re installed Itunes and still nothing.
other than taking it to the apple store does anyone have any advice?
(Windows Fire Wall is also turned off)
Thank you!

FIRST, edit your hosts file (which was corrupted by the jailbreak process) and remove any references to gs.apple.com; delete the whole lines and save the file. If you don't know how to do this you will have to get help, and it shows that jailbreaking was a bigger mistake than you thought.
Next, connect to a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub and disconnect all USB devices that consume power or bandwidth (like USB drives).
Put it into DFU mode to restore. With the phone disconnected hold HOME and SLEEP until a black screen appears. Immediately release SLEEP and continue holding HOME. While holding connect to iTunes and continue holding. After a while (perhaps several minutes) iTunes should recognize the phone. When it does release the HOME button and hope for the best.

Ipod touch stuck in recovery mode and will not restore. error code 3194

ipod touch stuck in recovery mode, will not restore and comes up with error code 3194, itunes is up to date, please help

Hi @rchangel - Thanks for the ideas...
Yes - it won't let you install the 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine.
I've had a cursory look at the SP1 release notes, and couldn't spot anything vital - what critical stuff do you know of in SP1?
I don't want to have to go through all the pain of setting up VM's, reinstalling iTunes, getting all my album art back in etc. (though I could, as I do have Win7 pro). I've also heard that running iTunes in Windows 7 compatibility mode might help. Can anyone confirm whether that actually works?
I think it's in Apple's gift to fix this issue, given that they say that they support Windows 7. So far I've had no feedback from a mail I sent to Apple, and the number of users reporting this problem keeps going up and up.
I want Apple to recognise that there is a problem, and then I want them to fix it.

Iphone 4 stuck in recovery mode and will not restore in itunes. HELP!

Hey Guys
I tried to jailbreak my iphone (bad idea obviously) and ever since, its been screwing up.
At first, it was stuck on the apple logo- Then I followed some videos on Youtube and it was stuck on the Pineapple from Redsnow..
NOW its stuck in restore mode (the screen with the USB and the Itunes symbol) I have tried to restore it 3 times and it gives me an error message (1604) or it doesn't even restore.
HELPP! It's been like this all day. What could I do?

My iPhone 6 is in recovery mode and doesn't restore or recover after I plug and update on iTunes

Hi Everyone,
Its been 2 weeks only sense I bought my first iOS devise (iPhone 6) and I am having major problems with it. it all started when my WiFi stopped working and grayed out completely so I thought it will be ok after I restart it, and I did but it got stuck on the Apple logo screen. I restored it using iTunes new update for iOS 8.0.2 worked for a couple of hours only but my battery was running low so I switched it off. later when I wanted to switch it on again, I got the same problem with the phone stuck to the Apple logo screen but this time it wont restore or upgrade through iTunes and displayed error (4005). can any one please help???
Ali Tariq

Try a Reboot press & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you will not lose any data But you may need to do this more than once. If you need to update your iPhone try and do this over wifi I never use a PC for Software updates on iPhone / iPad Cheers Brian

My iphone is stuck in recovery mode and i can restore it an error keeps coming up?

That often indicates a hardware failure. make an appointment at the genius bar and take it in for them to look at.

Iphone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore, only option available now is to "restore and update" however this will not work, how can you restore from a backup once in recovery mode and only option is "restore and upgrade"? Please help!

iPhone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore it. Now the only option iTunes allows is for "restore & upgrade", it is not offer an option to restore from a backup, says that must first do the upgrade, when attempting to do the upgrade the iPhone won't accept it.
How can I restore from a back up in recovery mode when the only option is "restore and upgrade"?
Please help.

You don't you must restore your phone first and then you will have the option to restore from your backup.
