IPhone/iTunes backup error when updating to iOS 4.2
Just bought an Iphone 4 a few days ago and tried several times to update it to iOS 4.2.... it fails EVERY TIME when the iTunes tries to proceed the phone's backup. An error occur and closes the iTunes without updating the phone.
Such problem didn't happen when updating my iPad... really don't know how to skip this problem and finally update my iPhone properly.
*** Apple!?!?!?
PS. I already downloaded the iTunes again, tried to "restore" my iPhone but the same thing keeps happening...
i have iphone 3gs and this has just happened to me, just in the middle of restoring it now, dread to think whats been lost on it.

Got error when updating to ios 5.1
got an error when updating to 5.1 and now phone will not reset. stuck on black screenwith apple on it. i have tried replugging phone into comp but it will not come up in Itunes. I am using a PC by the way.
Possible, but not 100% sealproof. -1 can happen in a variety of situations, not always jailbroken. It's a baseband error and while the risk of getting that error is higher on a non-factory unlocked device, it can still happen.
Even if OP was jailbroken and removed the jailbreak, it's quite difficult, if not impossible to tell the device has been jailbroken before if restored as brand new.
Take the device to an Apple Store for evaluation. -
Download error when updating to iOS 6.0.1
I get a "download error" when trying to update to iOS 6.0.1 from 5.1.1.
I have already tried switching the iPad off and on. Also I don't currently have a laptop with iTunes on for a manual installation.
Any suggestions?

1303 error when updating to iOS 5
5 minutes into the update of my iPad 2 at then end of the backup phase (I have iTunes 10.5 installed on a windows 7 machine) I get an error ( error -1303) and I am given the opportunity to either continue while being advised that all data on the iPad will be lost, or to Cancel the operation. This is what I have observed:
To see if anything actually gets backed up (I have seen on the net that error 1303 often times are associated with incorrect folder permissions) I have moved the existing backup to another location before starting the update. When the update starts a new backup folder is being created the backup progresses nicely until all is backed up (the new backup folder now is the same size as the one I moved prior to starting the update). At this point the process stops and error 1303 is reported, and the newly created contents of the backup folder is cleared, leaving nothing!
Since the backup process appears to be writing to the backup folder in the first place, there should be no problem with folder permissions. Have any of you seen this problem, and does anyone have fix?

Hi, my iphone 5 encountered an unknown error while updating to iOS 7 via itunes and is now stuck in recovery mode and prompts me to restore the phone when I connect it to itunes but then I would lose all my data. I DO NOT have any back ups on itunes. Is there anyway to get out of recovery mode without restoring or recover data after a restore?
Or any other suggestions please? ThanksAs pdroth said, you should have gotten a backup made when you started the update of iOS. If you cannot find a backup, and the phone is in recovery mode, there are no futher suggestions to make. To get the phone working again you have to restore. You cannot force a backup at this time since it is already in recovery mode. It will not allow anything else but a restore at this point.

These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart -

I upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 7, but cannot restore the backup "error when restoring iPhone (-1)", anyone know what should I do?
That error often indicates a hardware failure.Try restoring a few more times. If it consistently gives you that error, make an appointment at the genius bar to have it looked at.

Is it still possible to downgrade from ios 6 to ios 5.1.1 on my ipod touch 4th gen as of Sept.24? Also, if I use a backup created AFTER updating to ios 6, when I restore/downgrade to ios 5.1.1, does it become ios 6 again because of the version of ios 6 that I created the backup on?
There has never been a legit way to downgrade.
It will always restore to the latest available software. -
