TS3694 I was not able to complete my update because of a unknown error code . What does that mean

what does code mean. I was not able to complete my update

Hey norman184,
Thanks for the question. I see you came from the most relevant article, so you are definitely on the right track. Here is what I found in regards to error 6:
Errors related to third-party security software
Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 1000, 9006
1. Follow the steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
2. There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
3. Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
4. Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or phobos.apple.com isn't blocked by a firewall or other Internet security setting.
5. Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under "Advanced steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)" below for file locations.
6. Restore your device while connected to a different network.
7. Restore using a different computer.

TS3694 1015 error code, what does it mean and how do i fix it?

I bought a Iphone 3G for my younger son. I have attempted to restore and update the phone to errase all of the previous owners information, photos ect. It seemed to get about two thirds of the way through the process before showing an error code 1015 and now the phone is not usable. The screen on the phone now only shows the "connect to itunes screen", connecting to itunes only gives the option to restore until eventually showing the error code again after attempting the restore process!!??
Has anyone come across any of this before!? Any help would be much appreciated.

The article you linked from shows the information for that error code.
The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed. Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
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.
You can try recovery mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
Where did you buy this phone?
EDIT: Also, if it is actually showing the iOS that you describe, then that's a huge problem. 3G has a maximum iOS of 4.2.1, anything else is a jailbreak.
EDIT 2: Just like KiltedTim said... It's jailbroken, you got scammed, go get your money back.

TS3694 trying to update and it gave me an error6- what does that means and how to fix it

Trying to figure out why i recieved an error 6 when undating through itunes. How do i correct it? thanks

It happens sometimes
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hi
From others (on the Logic Forums), it seems that there may have been issues with Apple's servers.
Try again...
if that does not work, delete Mainstage, and then try again to download teh whole thing.

my IPhone 4 screen cracked and cant type my passcode so was not able to complete backup on ITunes as kept on asking me for passcode! can anyone help please?

sounds like you won't be able to do a backup. Hopefully, if you've been using your phone as directed, you've been backing up frequently so you won't have much data loss.

Help needed: "Logic was not able to complete the download"

I purchased Logic Pro 9 today from App store. Downloaded and installed the software. After installation & startup Logic started to download 2GB of additional content. This download was interrupted by the message "logic was not able to complete the download". I trashed Logic, redownloaded and reinstalled it several times from App store, always gives same message after startup. Doesn't even start to download basic content again, just gives the message. After hitting "ok" Logic just quits. This is extremely frustrating and I have no idea what to do about this.
I would very much appreciate any advice about how to solve this problem!

I start with the same problem but it ends differently.
I purchased Logic Pro 9 today from App store. Downloaded and installed the software. After installation & startup Logic started to download
the basic content. Upon startup the program already seemed weird, but it started and finished the basic content.
By weird I mean all I get on my screen is the Logic menu bar and the text is yellow instead of black. To top it all up, the text from the menus is missing and all I get is empty boxes.
I have deleted it and reinstalled from the app store to ensure a new clean installation but still the problem persists.
I have checked all your above points as well and none seem to work would be grateful for any help.
Cheers

Are you choosing a different plan before tapping Done?
To downgrade, you should be doing the following:
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
Tap Change Storage Plan.
Tap Downgrade Options and enter your Apple ID password.
Choose a different plan to use when your current storage plan expires.
Tap Done.

My Ipod mini will not sync...A duplicate file name was specified. What does that mean?

My Ipod mini will not sync. I get the message that A duplicate file name was specified. What does that mean and how do I correct it so I can download my new purchases?
Thank you

Refer to my earlier reply, but here is a quick fix to the corrupted filesystem, which might work
Open My Computer
Right-click your iPod -> click Properties.
Click the Tools Tab -> Error Checking ->
Check "Automatically fix file system error"
k Start.
Let the scan complete, eject your iPod and reconnect.
Good Luck!
