Iphone 4s is on 5.0.1 and cant restore

I put my iphone 4s into dfu mode because it crashed. Now i plug it into itunes and it says restore and update. then when it downloads an update it says update is not compatible. But the phone is on 5.0.1 already? Any ideas

If it says "not compatible" the IPSW is wrong one and not compatible. If it says "not elgible" then your computer Hosts file is blocking Apple Servers from communicating with iTunes.

    Dear Allan,
    Thanks. My main concern is whether my apps will be restored. Will they be available from the synch/backup?
    I am considering wiping my iPhone 4s because of one main problem. For some reason I receive, for example, 15 notices of a birthday reminder. I'm sure I made a bad choice somewhere, but cannot figure it out.
    Thanks.

    any help would be great

    1015 error: There are 4 possible causes of this error:
    The activation server truly is unavailable. Rare, usually fixed within minutes.
    Your antivirus or firewall or router's firewall is blocking access to
    gs.apple.com on ports 80 and 443.

  • Iphone not recongizing and cant restore

    I dropped my phone and the screen wasnt working however i could still hear texts coming through, when the screen was black I tried to type in my password several times. I got it fixed this morning and can now see the screen however it says its disabled, I'm not near my home computer, however i have tried restoring it several times. When I plug it into iTunes it says 'iTunes could not connect to the iphone .... because it is locked with a password' however i cant put in my passsword. I have tried restoring it but nothing seems to work, help please!!

    If your carrier unlocked the phone, did you complete the process by plugging the phone into your computer running iTunes and performing a restore?
    Once you do that, you should see the "Congratulations, your iPhone is unlocked" message.
    If you haven't done that, then the unlock is not complete yet.

  • HT201413 I've updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 7 and cant restore

    itunes is telling me to restore my iphone so i am. However, i keep getting error 14 and then error 6 and I've done what this page says but its not working.

    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size  can cause this error.  Contact the software manufacturer  that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    Errors related to third-party security software
    Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 1000, 9006            
    Follow the steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.

    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or phobos.apple.com isn't blocked by a firewall or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under "Advanced steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)" below for file locations.

  • IPhone 3gs is not responding after update and then restore!!!

    Hi, I have an iPhone 3gs and i plugged it in to charge. All of the sudden the screen shuts off and it restarts. When it turn back on it says your iPhone has been updated to iOS 6.1.3 please connect it iTunes. When i did connect to itunes it didnt do anything. I followed the instructions on the iPhone but nothing. I tried this on 3 different computers and still nothing. I read some things on the other apple supports saying to restore. Right before the restore would finish on the coumputer it would say error 1!! I tried to restore on different computers as well several times. I never pressed or did anything on the iPhone to make it do this. What do I need to do to get rid of the error or fix the iphone??

    Probably because it's jailbroken or hacked to be used with another carrier.

  • HT201210 my iphone 5c shut down wont turn on and wont restore with itunes

    You make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and get it serviced/replaced. You broke it. If you can't even force a reboot, there's nothing much more you can do.

  • TS1538 forgot password to my iphone and cant restore it

    ive done everything in the book to restore can't understand why it won't take my password.. no phone is not stolen it's mine legally and registered with att&t. some one please help me im about to cry

    Are you referring to the backup password, or the password to unlock the phone? If it's the backup password keep trying passwords that you might have entered when prompted for a password if you didn't read the prompt carefully - your Apple ID password (or earlier versions of it if you change it periodically), the password to log in to your computer, if it's a corporate computer or has access to a corporate domain, the domain password, etc.
    If you can't find the right password you will have to restore your phone as new and reinstall your content.
    If it's the passcode to unlock the phone when it's asleep see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
