TS3694 i have tried to restore my iphone 4 on 3 computers now and still keep getting software server cannot connect

i have had to go to an apple store for the last 3 years just to update my phone this is ridiculous as the update server software cannot be connected what else can i do?

Did not indicate what error message(s) iTunes shows.
Assuming it is iPhone 4 CDMA, as tagged
Download firmware from here iPhone3,3_6.1.3_10B329_Restore.ipsw and save on your computer.
Connect iPhone in iTunes. Backup, Shift+Restore (PC) Option+Restore (Mac) pointing to saved .IPSW file.
It will be Restore and not Update.

    Dear all,
    I have had problems with the internet connection with my IPhone 5. I have tried to restore the software to see if that would make a difference.
    I have tried now for at least 10 times to restore the software. The phone is locked now in restore mode, and when I get to the end of the restore to verify with the server, i get a consistent unknown error message. Sometimes is says my phone cannot be found.
    The phone has the connect to Itunes on the screen and cannot be used.
    I am running out of patience now....need urgent help!!
    What to do?

    Contact Apple support for warranty service.

    i have tried to restore my iphone but keep getting error 1015 any suggestion

    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.

  • HT204266 Trying to check for updates but when I hit updates I keep getting the message  cannot connect to iTunes. I'm signed in in my settings so not sure what else to do?

    I'm trying to connect to the app store to check for updates but when I go to the update tab I keep getting the message cannot connect to iTunes store. I am signed into iTunes in my settings so not sure what to do!

    You should not get that message if you are simply trying to load the shuffle with songs from your iTunes library.  If iTunes is trying to Update or Restore the shuffle, and you get that message, try the suggestions in this article

  • I'm trying to restore factory setting on my ipad mini and I keep getting error 2001.  It won't turn on and won't restore.

    I've been trying to fix my sister in law's ipad mini.  When I plug the ipad mini into itunes it say's it needs to restore factory settings.  When I do that, it tries to do it, but then says it can't because of an unknown error 2001.  I've tried it over and over, unplugged it and plugged it back in, tried to restore numerous times and the same thing keeps coming up.  It won't turn on and the screen just shows that I need to plug it into itunes.

    If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:

    Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
    Try a different computer.
    If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
    If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.
