Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

    Hi there Holly N,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.

    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.

  • When I'm restore my iphone ios 6.1.3 itunes shows error iphone software update  server is temporary unavailable or can not be contacted

    When I'm restore my iphone 4 ios 6.1.3 itunes showed an error you iphone can not be restore at this time because the software update server is not contacted or temporary unavailable.

    Probably because the phone was hacked to unlock it. The update has re-locked it. You'll have to contact the carrier it's locked to and see if they will unlock it for you.

  • TS3694 iphone5 is in recovery mode and when i try to reboot it on itunes it keeps coming up with error 21

    iphone5 is in recovery mode and when i up date it on itunes it keeps coming up with error 21.

    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.

    Can you Help . Have tried for a long time to fix. Told the phone may be Jail Broken . Dont know what that means?

    The phone is jailbroken. What that means is you can not get help here. Try googling for the error message or buy a phone that isn't jailbroken.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.alredy suggested
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
