I started updating my iphone 4s to the latest OS and put it on the table to finish updating. When I returned to get it showed connecting to Itunes. I connected the phone to Itunes and Itunes indicated that my iphone need to be restored and I started the restore process. I received this error (iphone could not be restored, unknown error occurred (36)). I have tries suggestion on support website and I still get this error. On the Iphone The Apple logo comes up with a data line underneath and that is where it stays until I disconnect power. When I turn it back on the connect to itunes logo comes back.

  • It says it needs to be connected to itunes and restored.  when i do that, it goes through the whole process then comes up with "iphone could not be restored. unknown error code (-1)".  Please help

    My brother gave me his old iphone when the touch screen went out on mine.  It's in great shape but when I received it, it says that it needs to be connected to itunes to be restored.  I have done this and it goes through the whole process then says iphone "iphone" could not be restored.  unknown error code (-1).  There is not a -1 code on the list and I have tried most of the suggestions.
    Does my sim card need to be in when I am doing this?  And any other suggestions?

    I did put it in DFU mode but its still not working, although everytime it shows your iphone needs to be restored. Kindly help.

    Hello everyone, I am trying to restore my iPhone 4s and every time I try restoring it, it always goes to about 75% of the process then it says the iphone could not restore because of error 1. This is not error -1 it is error 1. I reserached this error and it said to make sure I have the latest version of iTunes, i do, To make sure i have a security software updated, i do, and ive done everything it tells me to do yet it wont let me restore my iphone. Before I tried restoring it, it was working perfectly fine besides the battery which i have just replaced yesterday. Ive tried restoring it in two different computers with two different cables but still no luck. I found this phone at a park and it was working perfectly fine until i tried restoring it. I have no idea what to do now. I appreciate your guyses help!

    This error generally indicates a hardware failure.  Bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

    Apple TV "could not sign in unknown error"
    Has worked forever. Used it the other day. 
    Tried tonight and received the above message.
    Unplugged it, waited about 20 seconds, then
    Restarted it. Same results. Comes with an "ok"
    Button.  When I click it I get the same message. 

    Unplugged and replugged Apple TV and router still nothing.
    Spoke with Apple  and they suggested resetting and the restoring
    If necessary. Neither were.  Apple TV decided to start working
    Properly on its own.  2&1/2 years and still kicking.  This was the only
    Blip.  I love Apple. Cool or uncool. These products have rarely failede

  • Could not sign in Unknown error.

    Have had my Apple TV for over a year on the same iTunes account, working flawlessly. All of a sudden today, I get random:
    Could Not Sign In
    Unknown error.
    Messages.
    Restart - nada. Power interrupt - nada.
    Log off and try to log back in in settings: same message every time now.
    Help!

    Sort of. I did a full restore from settings, which resets it to factory settings, but with the latest software update. Then had to set it up like new, and re-login or register apps like MLB, Netflix, Hulu, etc. Took over an hour, but the problem hasn't been back since. Kind of sad that no one replies on these forums, including Apple support. I'm full Apple technology ecosystem in my home, but have started to shop other devices now after this experience. Technology issues I can take. Lack of support, not so much.

  • Attempting iOS 3.2.1 update, iPad could not be restored, unknown error 1014

    Tried to update my iPad wifi+3G tonight. Got error message in iTunes:
    The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1014).
    I'm stuck now and can't use my iPad because the iPad goes to recovery mode, and when I try again, the same thing happens. Have tried about 6 times. One time, tried and I believe succeeded in getting into DFU mode - dark screen on iPad while iTunes said it had found a device in recovery mode - but that restore ended up the same way.
    No iPad now. Bummed. Is this hardware? I hope not. Please help if you know anything about this. I can find very little about this error.

    I am still unable to restore my iPad, and it is therefore still not usable.
    Here is the loop I have been going around - NOTE - this is not a recipe for success here - I'm just describing what I'm seeing and doing detail, in the hopes there will be an additional clue here in how to fix things:
    1) Select files in ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates/ and drag to trash (there is a single ipsw file). (Note, I also trashed my iPhone Software Update file from last night, on the thought there might be a cross-up somewhere - made no difference).
    2) With iPad plugged in, showing "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode" on Mac, and showing Recovery Mode graphic on iPad (USB cable -> iTunes), get iPad into DFU mode as follows:
    Hold down iPad Power and Home buttons until iPad disappears from iTunes screen.
    Release iPad Power but continue to hold Home until "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode" on Mac, but now with a dark screen on iPad (no USB cable -> iTunes graphic on iPad)
    3) Click Restore in iTunes, then click Restore and Update in the Are you sure… dialog in iTunes, then click Next, then click Agree in iTunes. iTunes shows Downloading 1 item, iPad Software Update (7 minutes remaining).
    Note: iPad screen still dark all this time
    After the download completes, there is a bunch of activity in iTunes, with messages like (probably didn't capture all these messages):
    extracting software
    verifying ipad restore with apple
    preparing ipad
    waiting for ipad
    preparing ipad software
    Eventually a long progress bar shows up on iPad
    The progress bar starts to move with messages like this in iTunes (pretty sure I did not capture all the messages here):
    Restoring iPad Software
    Verifying iPad Software
    Verifying iPad Restore
    Finally, the iTunes dialog end up like this:
    iPad:
    Restoring iPad firmware…
    and the progress bar on the iPad gets very near the end, but not quite. It sits there for maybe a couple of minutes.
    Then, in iTunes, this dialog appears:
    The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1014).
    and on the iPad, the recovery mode dialog appears (USB cable -> iTunes graphic).
    I've been around this loop a number of times now.
    Not sure where to look for error messages in any log files on my mac.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks for reading. Sad I don't have an iPad anymore...

  • HELP! Firmware update failed. iPhone could not be restored Unknown 6

    I wanted to upgrade my iPhone's firmware.
    Plugin, backup, sync, etc, update downloaded and it began, extracting, preparing iphone, preparing software, then finally restoring iPhone.
    IT NEVER FINISHES, I get an error code unknown 6, could not restore iphone.
    I repeat, same thing every time.
    I uninstall iTunes, even deleted my backup so everything is gone, reinstall, same thing
    Created a new user account in windows so that it is forced to redownload the update, guess what, same thing.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem and did they resolve it?
    Thank you so much
    Matt

    I thought I should chime in even though some of the issues have been addressed.
    I downloaded 2.0.1 yesterday evening. The download was relatively fast. The upgrade process began.
    I am generally very finicky and always want to watch the progress meter. I have noticed that with Apple products (as Microsoft), the progress meter's generally mean nothing.
    … Fast-forward about two hours. I come back to the computer and the upgrade is still doing its thing. It was stuck at the Restoring iPhone Software section. The iPhone became a brick the phone displayed the lovely connect to iTunes graphics.
    I decided to kill the session and try again. iTunes began the upgrade yet again, but this time it stalled at the section right before Restoring iPhone Software.
    I spent a good four hours working on this thing. I downloaded the latest iTunes hoping that would solve the problem. Again, no success. I also tried deleting the USB driver with no luck.
    I went to sleep on the third attempt thinking it is taking its sweet time. I wake up at 3AM or so, and it is again, stuck on the last bar of Restoring iPhone Software meter.
    It was at that point I decided to try something different. On a whim, I install iTunes on another computer. I plugged in the iPhone, downloaded the upgrade, and in about 30 minutes the upgrade completed successfully. I actually got a more consistent progress meter on the various updates. The iPhone restarted and iTunes recognized the phone instantly.
    I plugged it back into my primary machine, which was giving me trouble, and everything is hunky dory.
    *So, if you guys have been trying everything and are going insane, perform the upgrade on another machine.* It solved my problem and three other users’ issues that were having the same problem at work.
