TS3694 iPhone - Unable to restore - Error code 3004

Hi... I persistently encounter an unknown error (3004) when trying to restore my iPhone.  I am using Windows 7.  Would any one be able to advise how I can resolve the problem.  Thank you.

  • TS3694 iPhone 3 GS restore error 2001 or 2006

    Need help with restore error 2001 or 2006; I have updated iTunes and OS to latest releases. Thx, LJ

    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.
