My iPhone will not restore via iTunes as it keeps cancelling and coming up with Error 9. Can you help me solve this?

Earlier today my iPhone4s shut down unexpectedly. It kept on showing the opening process (of the Apple logo coming and going) however it wasn't taking me to my home screen, instead was repeating this process. I pressed the home and lock button together for 30 seconds (from advice from the internet), which brought me to a screen of a picture of the USB cord and iTunes logo. I followed this instruction and plugged my iPhone into my laptop and opened iTunes. Immeadiatley, iTunes popped up to me that my iPhone was in recovery mode (I had never put my iPhone on recovery mode before so this was all new to me) and needed to go through with the restoring process. I clicked the Restore button to see this process go ahead. I tried so many times it lead to me to cry as my phone is only a few months old. All these times I tried the process was always cancelled by this message which showed it was an 'Unknown Error' and shown in brackets 'Error 9'. I tried this process so many times and I simply do not know what to do. Please can somebody give me advide/help and this is causing me stress as I have been working this out for hours. Thanks so much!

Hi there Holly N,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Configure your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, or 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.

This is a user forum and is not Apple. I would definitely recommend that you stop using your iPhone and take it to be checked.

Hi ali hakim,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
Click on the link to see more details and screenshots.
iOS: Restore error 3194 or 'This device isn't eligible for the requested build'
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4451
This occurs when iTunes is unable to communicate with the update-and-restore server (gs.apple.com). This is most likely because it is being blocked, redirected, or interrupted by security software, hosts-file entries, or other third-party software.

My iPad 2 will not restore using iTunes. It keeps telling me - the iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknow error occurred (4) - I have tried every suggestion I could find so far. Any ideas as to what I can do?

My iPad 2 will not restore using iTunes. It just quit a week or two ago and showed that I had to connect to iTunes.
When I do the "restore and update" it does not complete the "verifying iPad restore with Apple" and then shows the following message:
The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (40).
I have tried it a number of times. Also turned of anti-virus and firewall. Tried on different computers. All resulted in the same message. The iPad is only 2 1/2 years old, so I hope it can be fixed.
Does anyone have a solution?

Ipad and Iphone will not detect via Itunes

Ok here is the issue,
I have IPhone 4 Verizon and Ipad 2 3g Verizon.
My Ipad2 screen broke and I received a warranty Ipad 2 but my Dellinspiron with the Intel 3400 chip will not detect on iTunes.
Windows 7 see it and I can pull photos off. I worked with Apple onissue and at store with 10 reps. my old I pad detects just fine and my IPhone but any other
IPhone or I pad will not detect. I have tried and wiped ITunes, QuickTimeect ect and even went into registry and deleted all files and still same issue.
It’s boiling down to the Intel chip 3200 and its almost lookingfor a certain IPhone or I pad and will not detect any other but original phoneor pad.
If anyone is experiencing a similar issue let me know. I have been allthe way up the ladder at both apple and dell and still the issue looms.
Thanks
Phil
If any other info is needed let me know. I have both the diagnostic test for my laptop and itunes.
I can post diagnostic from CPU if needed.

This is reported quite often.. more often the iphone than the ipad.
Reset the TC and do the setup again. This time setup wireless manually.. use no spaces and only alphanumeric characters in any name and password.. TC name, wireless name, wireless password tc password if you set one.
Set wireless to manual not auto, and give 5ghz a different name.
Set channels.. this is the important part for iphone as it can only use 2.4ghz.. so set channel 1, 6, 11 in turn. These are the only non-overlapping channels.
Set wpa2 security.
You should be able to get the iphone to connect.. if not remove the security until you do and try again.

Have just downloaded the new iSO6 and now my facetime will not work. I have checked the settings and all looks fine. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Have just downloaded iSO6 to my ipad and now facetime will not work properly. It will take incoming but will not allow to make a call. Could anyone offer suggestions to the problem please?

Hi Deb,
Deauthorizing all is definitely the way to go. You will just need to authorize your computer again after, as well as your husband's.
Here's some additional information on deauthorizing all:

Bought an iPad 2 , did all the set up, when I tried to use the find my iPhone app. , it can't seem to locate my iPad. Or not listed in the devices, can you help me solve this issue?

Anyone?

Just get to make sure I'm understanding correctly. The iPad 2 can connect to the internet and the web just fine. I also read another post stating that Mobile me awhile back was having issues with the find my "ipad/iphone/ipod touch" functionality.
I'm not sure about this but if your not a mobile me user don't you have to sign up for the "find my ... service"?
Can I assume you did that too?

I cannot access my iPad, it won't come on or off. I have a message on it that needs only to press ok which i cannot get off in order to turn off my iPad but it will not do what it must do. My iPad is nearly five months old can you help me please?

I have an ipad which is four months and three weeks old nearly. I have a message on it telling me that my macbook has been found. I only have to press
ok for it to go away.
I press it and it wont go away, I try to turn off my ipad and cannot do so why is this? and can you instruct me how to get rid of it and get the machine to turn on ples.
Sis. Mavis

You should also ask this in the iPad forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Hey andy martel,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The error numbers you mentioned relate to third-party security software conflicts. In my experience, the following article usually helps to resolve these issues:
iTunes: Troubleshooting security software issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125
For immediate results, or if the above has not resolved your issue, you may want to restore the iPad with a different computer.
Thanks,
Matt M.

The wi-fi I'm connected to does not appear in the keychain access, so as to get the password back.. can you help me on this?

thanks in advance.

When you entered the password to connect to the network, there was a checkbox to save it in the keychain. If you didn't check that box, it wasn't saved. If it was saved, it's in the System keychain and has the type "AirPort network password."

Hi, my iphone 5 will not restore through iTunes. Error codes 2001 and 2006 appear. Please help.

Hi,
My iPhone5 will not restore through iTunes. Error code 2001 appears and once I received error code 2006. Please help?

Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

My iPhone will not restore. What do I do now?

My iPhone will not restore, I have tried DFU mode, recovery mode and simply just on mode. iTunes will not finish restor, gives error 3194 right after extracting software. What do I do then?

I have also done the editing host file thing, and it didn't work either.

My iPhone will not restore via iTunes as it keeps cancelling and coming up with Error 9. Can you help me solve this?
