Unable to Retore! Error -48 Problem downloading the iPhone software
I was having trouble with Safari (reseting all the time) and wanted to try restoring my iPhone from scratch.
Each time I select "restore" I watch the download activate and when it's complete, I get the following error:
There was a problem downloading the iPhone software for the iPhone "My Name iPhone". An unknown error occured (-48).
I'm at a loss. Has anyone else seen this or have an answer?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10)
Before you 'restore', you may wish to read this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304893
It addresses that error for the ipod. I myself might play around with the time zones first before I try restoring -- are they the same in the mac and the iphone? -- maybe temporarily switch to Pacific and see if the problem goes away.
You can also search for that error by putting it in quotes: "(-48)". You will get hits for the number 48 too.
Normally Macs don't have this issue. It seems as if you are running on USB 2.0 -- it probably should not be going thru a hub.
Hope this helps.

Restore error message: "There was a problem downloading the iPod software"
I am trying to restore my iPod and keep getting this message when I try: "There was a problem downloading the iPod software for the iPod "iPod". The requested resource was not found." HELP! What do I do next???
Windows XPHi BigIRv,
Actually, a "requested resource" error message (which I believe you are getting) most of the time has to do with iTunes having a problem with connecting to your iPod, rather than the iPod software update server (although a more rare possibility of this error message could occur in that sense).
See my post here, which contains a couple of things to try if you have that error message:

Possible fix for "problem downloading the IPOD software.." error
I have a click wheel IPOD and after dropping it was forced to restore to factory setting. When attempting to restore, Itunes nor my computer recognized my IPOD and when it finally did I got the message
"These was a problem downloading the Ipod software for the Ipod "Ipod." The requested resource was not found."
I did the 5 steps repeatedly over 2 days with no luck then today I combined advice from a bunch of postings and it worked!
Here's what worked:
1)Bought a new USB 2.0 connect cable.
2)Deleted the folder containing the firmware files: see
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304309
3)Delete Ipod updater
4)Restarted computer
5)Download updated Itunes
http://www.apple.com/ipod/start/
When I ran the exe file it asked if I wanted to "repair" or "reinstall" I choose "repair".
5)Reset ipod
6)Opened itunes, connected ipod, it took about 10 minutes for itunes to sync with the ipod.
7)Choose restore.
After that it went as normal.
Cheers

I have been unable to download the iphone software v5.1. I keep getting the timing out message. Is there someway to set my network connections to allow the download? Can I get the update some other way?
The Huntress is correct, I have missed that you have an iPhone 3G
Usually iTunes will tell you in that case, that iOS 4.2.1 the newest version for your phone.
If you don't have an iPhone 3G, network connections timing out can be a security software problem:

How do i restore my iphone when it has been disabled and cannot be restored through itunes because of the error message that says "The iphone software update server could not be contacted
Have you jailbroken this device? This will make the iPhone not talk to the Software Update Server (that signs and accepts software updates) please refer to the following link? Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
The iPhone will talk to the software update servers, just need to change the host files, it's a simple process, sorry if you were confused about the wording in to top? -

Hi,
I tried to downgrade my iphone4s os from ios6 (beta 4) to ios 5.0.1(factory settings).
but all the time i am getting the following error.
"there was a problem downloading the software for the iphone "rams's iPhone" "
pls help me to downgrade my device.
I am from india, ios6 maps are not at all working for india so i want to go for old version so that i can have google maps.
Regards
RamYou couldn't go back to 5.0.1 even if you wanted to, it would have to be 5.1.1 but if you had a signed copy of the iOS 6 beta on your iPhone I don't believe you can go back.
You can try Google to see if you can find a workaround. Despite the map issue, if you are a developer don't you need the Beta on your iPhone? -

Hi Robertfrom Denver.
Did you try the solution given, and if yes, did it work?
I have done several "attempted downloads, and see the full file download, typically taking 30 minutes to complete, and then something goes wrong.
I am happy to suspend AV and FW software, but would like to know if it is a good fix or not first?

"There was a problem downloading the software fot the iphone. The network connection timed out."
there's no pblm with my connection but this error keeps on showing,
what to do? please help....Stop with the silly and pointless fonts.
A simple search of the forums for the actual error would have revealed the resolution.
Temporarily disable all security software on the computer.
