  • TS3694 I got error message 1015 when trying to restore settings on iphone 3g any suggestions?

    Can Anybody help me here?  I tried to update the operating system, via Itunes,  on my (second hand) iphone 3G and an error message came up.  I then tried to restore but to no avail.  I got another error message (1015).  I am now unable to use the phone at all.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I did search to try and find a solution.  As yet no luck.  Someone a little more technically minded might be more successful.  However, I haven't given up.

    The phone was jailbroken. That's what that error indicates. You can't get help here. You can't get help from Apple.
    Try Google.

    If you bought it used, many if not most of them are "jailbroken" and cannot be fixed. That's why they are sold. Unsuspecting buyers are generally out of luck.
    Unauthorized modification of iOS can cause security vulnerabilities, instability, shortened battery life, and other issues
    Inability to apply future software updates: Some unauthorized modifications have caused damage to iOS that is not repairable. This can result in the hacked iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iOS update is installed.
    ... It is also important to note that unauthorized modification of iOS is a violation of the iOS end-user software license agreement and because of this, Apple may deny service for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that has installed any unauthorized software.

    Hi Clowg,
    Sorry to hear that you are having trouble.  Unfortunately, I don't believe the folks here on this forum will be able to help you with your issue.  Have you tried posting on the Flash Player forum?

  • TS3694 I've tried to sync my iPhone 3GS, but it'll sync a little and then disconnect when almost done; I get error message 1015, and I don't know what to do. Everything else is fine, my iTunes info is up to date, and so is my OS, ect.

    I've tried syncing my iPhone 3GS, but it'll stop when the sync is nearly complete, and the sync is interrupted with an error message reading "Error 1015". I've already tried all of the other things suggested by iTunes (ensuring that my OS is up-to-date, disconnecting other USB cables, ect.), yet this problem persists. Help...

    5.0.2 has not been released, thus you can not upgrade.

  • Error message 1015 and 2003

    Hi guys and girls,
    I have recently stated to use an I-Phone and have encountered a problem when trying to restore the handset after it has placed itself into recovery mode. The handset currently displays the charger pointing toward the cd/music symbol and when i plug it into my pc i-tunes says it has detected a handset in recovery mode and needs to restore it but when the process looks to have completed the error message comes up the phone "i phone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1015).
    Any help with this would be crucially important and I would be very grateful.
    Thanks
    Tom

  • TS3694 Error message in App Store saying "Can not connect to iTunes Store"?

    Just started using my iPad 3 that I just recieved for my birthday a few days ago. Last night went to download a new App from the App store, which was free. After hitting the "free" button and continuing on and hitting the "download App" button I received an error message saying "Can Not connect to iTunes Store" and the word "OK" under that to make it go away. I continued on with other games to see if it was just an issue with that one but no matter what i hit it says that same error message. I spent hours on the phone with Apple Support only to have the gentlemen have me save everything on my iPad onto my iTunes on my PC and then start to Restore to Factory setting and then was told if had any issues to call them back. I left the room for about 5 min. only to come back to have an error message saying "The ipad could not be restored, an unknown error occurred (3014). I was just wondering if anyone else is having any issues similiar to mine. Please advise. My next step is to call back up and ask to speak to a Support Specialist the gentlemen said..once it goes to the "restore" point regular tech support can not help he explained.. Just frustrated after spending over 1 1/2 hrs on the phone to have gotten nowhere and now have to call back and start again with something brand new.. I just think i got a lemon!!

    This what Apple's iTunes specific error codes support article says about that particular error.
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • TS3694 Error message re purchased music

    I purchased some music from iTunes Store and it won't sync to my iPhone. Here's the error message: "Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPhone because you are not authorized for them on this computer." Computer IS authorized. Computer is MacBook Pro running Mac OS X, version 10.7.5. Phone is iPhone 5C but this also happened with my iPhone 4S. Help!
    Thanks.

    Okay, just learned how to check which email account was used to authorize the purchases, and that email account was closed a long time ago. So I guess that means I no longer "own" these purchases?

    Error message when attempting to back up iPod to iTunes, no number given. No previous back ups as a new user, current iTunes software and iPod iOS.

    The issue you are experiencing is with installing the latest iTunes update.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Resolution
    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    I understand that you have already uninstalled iTunes, but when you get to this step, it is important to uninstall iTunes and the related components in the order listed in the link for that step.
