I recently got told by Apple to restore my Iphone 4.s if i had any problems... which i did, so i tried to restore it, but it came up with an alert message saying" unknown error (-1? ive tried restoring it on many computers but all the same message! can anyone help?

hello..seems you have a hardware problem with your baseband processor..this is a very common problem after a drop or water damage or cheap charging cable. it needs to be serviced or just sell it on fleabay. Trust me you cant fix with a software upgrade but you still wont be able to make calls but atleast you will be in ios and you can user as an ipod

  • I get an error 9 when I try to restore my iPhone 4s

    The title pretty much sums it up, but a little background.
    While reading a kindle book my 4s shut itself off. It then started, went to the apple screen, cut to white screen, and shut off again.  It repeated this in an unending loop.
    Since I had not backed up my Iphone since January, I was frantic, because I had over 650 pictures on there. Anyway, I tried charging it and after a while it started working again.  Miracle of Miracles! So I instantly uploaded all the pictures onto my laptop, but was unable to back the phone up again.  But it was late and I figured I'd try it again later.
    The next day, during normal activities such as reading a book, playing a game, or even swiping on the home screen, the phone would randomly cut off, restart, and then be fine. 
    Finally it cut off again, and went into the dreaded cycle.
    Even though I hadn't backed it up fully, I decided to try to restore it. It was the only option I could think of. (I've already ordered a new phone, but it won't be here for 2 weeks, so I'm trying to fix this one temporarily to avoid getting a trac-phone.)
    Initially I got a high numbered error message when I tried to restore the phone. So I updated my computers OS and Itunes.  Then I tried again.
    Now I"m getting an Error 9 message.  After looking up the troubleshooting for that message, I don't know what to do.  I don't have any periphials on my computer: just the power cable and the usb connected to the phone.
    Does anyone have any ideas, or am I just the last guy holding the bag and out of luck here?
    TL:DR?
    I have to restore my 4S and I'm getting an Error 9 when I try. Nothing extra is attached to my computer, and the OS and Ituns is up to date.
    Thank you all in advanced!

    Hi there,
    Do you have icloud account? You need firstly turn off find my iphone (by go to icloud.com -->sign in --> go to "Find my iphone" and erase your iphone in it). And then you restore your iphone with DFU mode.
    When you erase your Find my iphone and if you can not restore, your iphone has a problem with hardware.
    Some infos can help you.
    Kind regards,

  • Why does iTunes say there's an unknown error (-54) when i try to sync my iPhone 5c into my computer?

    Everytime I try to sync my iPhone 5c onto my computer there's always a message that pops up and says there's an unknown error.  I have synced my iPhone to a new computer and have purchased new music on this computer.  I have previous music on my old computer which is still on my phone but i want that music off.  I just want to start over with the new music i got on this computer.  For some reason, the old music from my old computer won't show up on my new computer, but the old music shows up on my iPhone 5c.  I have no idea on how to delete the old songs.  My iPhone doesn't give me the option.  I'm thinking maybe the error has to do something with that. Any suggestions?

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

  • TS3694 I have the error: 1015 when I try to restore my Iphone. If it never works, I can't use my Iphone! Can anyone help me out

    I have an Iphone 3g, and when I wanted to restore so I could update my IOS system, it comes up with the Error 1015. If you know anything about this, I will be grateful.
    Thanks
    Jason

    Error 1015 is most often given if the iPhone has the iPad Baseband 6.15.00 installed. There is now finally, a week ago, complete fix for this problem. Restores the iPhone GPS and iTunes Restore function back to normal. Search the Web for help.

    Hi
    I just tried Mirandas advice and it totally worked. I didn't know how to stop the service so I checked that up. Here is the steps:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567
    Windows Vista or Windows 7
    1 Close iTunes and disconnect the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    2 Click the Windows Start button  Start button.
    3 In the Start Search field type Services.
    4 In the Programs section of the search results, Click "Services".
    5 Select Apple Mobile Device and click Stop the service as shown below:
    6 After the service has stopped, click Start the service.
    7 After the Apple Mobile Device service has started again, open iTunes and connect the device.
    Thanks Miranda.

  • I get unknown error 1723 when I try to sync my iPhone to my iMac. how do i fix it just started not working

    I have a 4s iPhone and an IMAC OSX 10.9.4. 3 days ago my phone stopped syncing with my iMac. Gives an unknown error 1723. How do I fix? I think I changed a setting, but don't know which one would cause this problem. Thanks for any help.

    I had the same problem and found a fix on another website.
    First quit iTunes.
    Second, open your Pictures folder.
    Third, while holding down option, click on your iPhoto Library.  Select, "Show Package Contents." 
    Fourth, you should see a folder called, "iPod Photo Cache."  Move this folder to the trash, and empty the trash.  Then close the window.
    Finally, reopen iTunes.  Everything should sync.

  • Error message when I try to sync my iphone with iTunes: the required software is not installed. Remove iTunes and re-install. Won't this erase all my data from iTunes?

    Message reads: the required software is not installed. Remove iTunes and re-install. I have a pc with Windows XP. If I re-install iTunes, won't this erase all of my data from iTunes?

    No, reinstalling iTunes will not remove iTunes data. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925

  • Unknown Error (-48) when I try to sync my iPod

    I have started to get an Unknown Error (-48) when I try to sync my iPod to my iTunes music Library, this problem only occurred when I upgraded to iTunes 7 and upgraded to the latest version of the iPod software.
    Any suggestions?

    At the moment there seems to be no permanent fix for this. This is the workaround I'm currently using until a fix comes along.
    Set up iTunes "not" to open when you connect the iPod.
    Enable Disk Use on the iPod
    Eject the iPod and shut down iTunes
    Reconnect the iPod and open Disk Utility
    Click on your iPod in the Utility pane and choose Repair Disk which will find and fix a number of errors.
    Close Disk Utility and open iTunes and your iPod should connect and update as usual.
    Keep the settings above and each time you connect the iPod to update it run Disk Utility repair as above before opening iTunes. It's far from being a acceptable answer but until a permanent one comes along I've found that it works for me. I've tried the Apple advice of erasing the iPod in Disk Utility and restoring it in iTunes but found it only worked for a while before the error came back.

  • TS3694 when i try to restore my phone on itunes it stops half way through and says error 29 unable to restore

    when i try to restore my iphone 4s it say unable to complete restore error 29 now i cant use my phone at all

    Hello, gordy69. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I see you came from the most relevant article in regard to not being able to restore your iOS device.  I would take a look at the section I highlighted below.  Make sure to try the steps outlined in that section. 
    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.
    Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors

  • Why does an unknown error occur when I try to save a document as a word file?

    why does an unknown error occur when I try to save a document as a Word file?

    Hi Judy,
    Deleting the Preferences files seems to be missing from your list.
    Quit AppleWorks,
    In the Finder, go to:
    username > Library > Preferences
    In the Preferences folder:
    Locate and Delete the File com.apple.appleworks.plist
    Locate and Open the Folder AppleWorks
    In the AppleWorks folder, delete the following files:
    AppleWorks 6 Assistants Cache
    AppleWorks 6 Preferences
    AppleWorks 6 Translators Cache
    Optional:
    AppleWorks Button Bars
    This file contains your Button Bar preferences. If you have made changes to the Button Bar, but hanve NO issues that can be traced to the Button Bar, it may be left in place.
    Regards,
    Barry
