Iphone ios5 update - error (-23)

Hi, trying to update my iphone (running 4.3.2) and am getting a error (-23) - see below -. can't find any support on it. have been able to update my ipad no issues. i tried jb-ing my phone but it didn't work so i dropped it, not sure if it changed some setting that is complicating things now. have tried editing my host file, but i have no gs.apple.com reference. some forums say -23 is hardware related. i get the same error when trying to restore my iphone. if anyone has any advice i'd greatly appreciate it.
many thanks

Just found out the the error -23 is due to internet settings by my ISP Singtel (I'm in Singapore). I managed to connect to my another ISP (Starhub) and there was no error. Problem solved and everything was fine now! I advice Singtel users to wait for a few day for them to sort this issue or use another ISN for the update.

  • Iphone ios7 update error "account not in this store"

    hi all, with ios7 update iphone keeps giving error " account not in this store" and some apps can not update because of this.
    any ideas how to solve it? all details: country, payment details are correct. Itunes account is same with same country but even after syncing the error remains.
    any ideas how to solve this frustrating error?
    thanks for your help!!

    Update: This problem only occurs when trying to UPDATE apps, not buy or download brand new ones. Further, it only fails to update apps that I purchased previously.
    I tried downloading some new apps from within the phone, and this worked fine, and later they updated fine, also within the phone. But the older apps still give the same error when I try to update them.

  • Do I have to pay for dysfuncional Iphone after update (error 3)?

    Do I have to pay for my Iphone if it become dysfuncional at a update (error 3)? The warrenty is out but it feels wrong if I have to pay for something can´t control.

    Apple has some suggestions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#3
    If those don't work, then you will have to contact Apple and discuss the matter with them. Typically if any sort of hardware problem arises with an out-of-warranty phone you'll be charged, but perhaps there will be something they can do for you.

  • Error while downloading iphone firmware update (error code -3254)

    Hey guys,
    I am using the German versions of iTunes and the iPhone. When I connect the iPhone to my machine, iTunes starts up and proceeds to inform me that a new firmware update is available. After the license agreement is confirmed, nothing seems to happen for a few sceonds. Then, an error message pops up which tells me that "an unknown error has occured". The error code is -3254.
    I searched Google and these forums for variations of this problem, but couldn't find anything suitable. The error code is not mentioned anywhere.
    My iTunes version is 7.6.1.9 (running on Windows XP)
    My iPhone has firmware version 1.1.3 (failed while upgrading to version 1.1.4)
    I found out that similar errors can be caused by firewall misconfigurations, but the built-in iTunes diagnosis tool didn't report any connection problems (I also temporarily opened all of my router UDP ports, didn't help at all).
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm having the same problem. The download finishes and then it says an unknown error occurred. It says it has something to do with my network connection, but I don't think that's the problem.
    Did you find a solution yet?
    I tried to reinstall iTunes but it didn't work.

  • Cannot restore iPhone (after update) error 1013

    As I tried to update my iPhone3GS to 4.3, I get a message that says "the iphone could not be updated. an unknown error occurred (1013)"
    Obviously, all the data got erased, and on connecting the iPhone again to iTunes, the message appears stating that the iPhone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. And this is where the main problem lies- I tried to restore the phone and I get the same message "the iphone could not be restored. an unknown error occured (1013)"
    I have tried everything possible- used another laptop, used another itunes account, tried the solutions from the support page; but nothing! I am left with is the iTunes logo on my phone. I don't care about the software update, I just want the phone to work! PLEASE HELP!

    This is happening to me too. I am so incredibly frustrated! Monday is a wild business day for me and all my conferencing info is in my phone! I can't even turn it on.
    My error message is (6), and I've tried using three different computers so far. I just keep getting the message my phone can't be restored.

  • IPhone software update errored. How can I fix my iPhone without having to do a restore?

    I plugged in my iPhone 4 to do a sync this afternoon.  I got the message that there was a software update.  Sadly, I've updated to the crappy iOS7, so I chose to install the update (which I think is 7.0.2.)  The update was downloaded, and was loading to my iPhone.  I suddenly received an error that my iPhone couldn't update.  I think it had an error code of 411. My iTunes refreshed, and is now not showing that it recognized my phone.  Now the only thing I can get to show up on my screen is a graphic of the iTunes icon, and an arrow directing me to plug in my phone.  When I do this, a message appears that iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and that I must restore this phone before it can be used with iTunes.  I don't want to perform a restore.  I will lose all my data.  So, why did this error?  How can I fix my iPhone without doing a restore?

    I think it had an error code of 411....So, why did this error?
    There is no such error code.  No one can tell you why without the correct code.
    Was this phone EVER jailbroken?

    There is no way to get out of recovery mode without restoring.
    You mean you actually didn't back up before updating, really?

  • IPhone iOS5 update – all songs bought on itunes gone

    Hello guys,
    a friend of mine has just updated her iPhone 4 to the latest iOS and now all her songs are gone. I cannot find a solution, so maybe you guys have one. She has bought a lot of songs on iTunes but has never synced her phone with her computer. This means that iTunes has never made a backup of her iPhone and consequently no backup of her music. So my question is: is there a way of retreving the music that she has bought on iTunes?
    Kind Regards
    Akira

    You can send an email to apple and beg, I heard couple incidence that begging works, lol.

  • IPhone app update error

    I get an error (payment) when I try to update apps.  I logged into Apple store and made sure payment info is correct.  It is a credit card.  Error says PayPal not supported.  Please help.

    For your Mac have you tried the troubleshooting for error 8003 on this page : iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting - click the 'expand all' link towards the top of the page and then search for '8003' (it's just below halfway down the page).
    For your phone what have you tried e.g. logging out and back into your account on it, closing the App Store app via the phone's taskbar, a soft-reset (pressing and holding both the home and sleep button for 10 to 15 seconds).

  • Help urgently needed: Iphone 5 update error

    I went into system settings to update my iphone 5 to the newer verzion of ios 7 and instead of starting the update when I clicked it, it went into recovery mode. I have so many valuble pictures on my phone I can't just restore it to factory defaults and lose all of them as well as videos. I have tried holding the on/off button and the home button for 15 seconds and it just keeps going back to the same screen. Please, please, please help. I also can't get help directly from apple this night since I cannot get into my phone to get the serial number. Please, any help is greatly appreciated.

    I am in the same situation as the original poster.  I am trying to restore the device, but my iTunes says it is downloading the software update (although it shows when my phone is *not* plugged in that the download was completed). When the "download" is not yet complete, I get a message telling me there was a problem downloading the software for the phone because the network connection failed, even though there is no problem with my wifi.  I occasionally get the random message: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.  you must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." I need to point out that the message is randomly received *as* I am downloading the software update to restore it.
    This is the third attempt at restoring the phone, so any advice to make this work is appreciated.

  • Iphone 4s update error

    I cant do the updateiOS 6.1.2...Help it keeps saying "unable to verify Update" can't connect to the internet even though it is on a wireless network.

    Until you fix the internet connectivity problem, it won't be able to verify the update and install it.
    Try updating using iTunes instead.

    If no one can help me fix this hopefully somebody might at least be able to tell me what -1 error means!
    I have an iPhone 3GS and before i updated to iOS5 i upgraded my itunes on my Mac and synced and backed up everything. I did the iOS5 update which went fine and i have it installed on my phone. When i went to restore from backup it looked like it was working for 2mins then it comes up with the error message saying unable to restore from backup (-1). I have done this a good few times now all with the same result. Any suggestions? Everything has been completely wiped from my phone and im desperate to get it all back.
