? - unknown error (9) after updating and restoring

Please, HELP!
After downloading iPhone update 1.1.1 for iTunes and installing it iTunes is telling me that I'm required to click 'restore' and then it gives me the message:
The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).
I've tryed almost everything but it doesn't work. Please, help me!!!

If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.

  • Is it possible to restore Gamecenter after update and restore?? After update, tried logging into Gamecenter and it says that the user name is already taken. Yeah, I know..... by me!!!

    One of my kids ipods needed an update. It wouldn't let me do it via the itouch (like the other 2 itouches did). I had to connect to the PC, sync, update and then restore. Once I did, the apps could be downloaded again via icloud (which wasn't on the itouch before) but progress on games that were through Gamecenter did not transfer. Tried logging into Gamecenter and it states the user name is already taken. Yeah, I know it's already taken, BY MY DAUGHTER!!! Apparently she has a dragon game app that she manages through Gamecenter that she has worked her way to level 22 and now it is all gone. It wants her to restart from level 1. I know this isn't life or death and not like losing work data etc. But to a 9 year old who has spent $40 of her own money on gems, coins etc....... this is the end of the world. LOL. I do want to try to help her, I just don't know how.

    Thank you. After posting I started to search for Backflip studios and found this support id. I had meanwhile created a new nickname, very similar to the original one, and requested that they swap the advanced world to the new id. I sent this last Saturday evening. This morning (so effectively on their first workday after my request!) I received a kind response from Rachael that they had swapped the parks. Like your daughter my son couldn't believe his eyes. Thank you for your post, original and reply, I hope others will find it too and that Rachael can keep up such excellent support. It means a lot...

  • After updating and restoring to IOS5, i could not activate, because in Nepal i phone isworking with the gavey sim, how can i activate?

    after updating to ios5 from ios4.3.3 , i could not activate because i am using Gavey sim with NTC( nepal telecom sim), now it asks for the original sim, which is not available in NEPAL, what to do? how can i activate Iphone4?

    how old is the phone? was this the first time you are putting your sim in the iphone? if it is it might be locked to a previous carrier...if not, try to do a restore again and see if it picks up the sim card after. do the restore while the sim card is intact, and then not intact. otherwise, you'll might have to take it to an apple store to get it looked at.

  • After updating and restoring some purchased music is "unauthorized"

    I downloaded an update for my Ipod and then was forced to restore my Ipod when it was not recognized by Itunes. After the restoration process I find a few purchased albums come up as not being authorized to play. I go through the process of reauthorization but it does no good. Why would some music no longer be authorized? so far it seems to be that which I had copied to a CD but I have not checked all.

    If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
    1. Deauthorize the computer.
    2. Create a new user in the system.
    3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
    4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
    5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
    6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
    If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.

  • Stuck at the "apple screen" after update and restore

    I updated my iPhone 4 today to the iOS 7 version, everything went ok, after that i did the "Restore from Backup" option through iTunes, and all went fine.
    After it finished the restore the iPhone made a restart, then turned on the apple screen, and after a few seconds apeard a line beneth the apple, it started to fill it in, and when it got to ~70-80% it stucked, for ~30 min already.....
    I'v tried to restart the device, and its making the same thing, tried to connect to iTunes and make restore again, and it fails because the iPone is "Busy" with god knows what.....
    Any solution for this problem????
    thx in advance for any kind of help!

    You can get no support on this forum.  Since you have iOS 7, you're either a developer (in which case, per your NDA you must post in the Developer Forums) or a thief. 

  • HT1414 An error coming while updating and restoring my phone

    Please help me restore my iphone 3G back to normal i was trying to update it but now an error coming up (1015) how am i suppose to get back to my normal version.

    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.

  • ITunes won't start after update and restore

    I have update iTunes to the latest version yesterday. Up to her everything is fine. Due to ther issues I had to go back to the Windows RESTORE point previous to the iTune installation.
    When I start iTunes I get the following pop-up: "iTunes cannot runbecause some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes".
    I do that and when iTunes try to connect to the store it shows broken links and the whole thing hangs.
    I have tried to unistall iTunes, but it does not help at all. This means that I do not have connection to iPod. I cannot believe that I have to re-install all my PC bcause of this

  • White screen after update and restore?

    Is this a hardware issue or anything else I can try to do with the Ipod Touch gen 4?  I'm running software 4.3.5.

    - First try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Connect to computer and it ITunes sees the iPod restore the iPod
    - Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPOd.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • Please help me tp update my iPhone 5, because after updating to ios 7 I can no longer update and restore my phone? it always error

    please help me to update and restore my iphone 5? beacause after updating to iOS 7, i can no longer updater and restore my phone. it always comes in error

    I'm having the identical problem on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 7--no ability to update apps or download new apps.  Here is what Apple tech support emailed to me:
    I understand that you are unable to download or update applications after updating iOS7 on your iTunes. I know you must be eager to get this resolved and I will be happy to help you today.
    ... to help you better with this issue I would request you to please try this steps given below to resolve your issue.
    Please follow this steps:
    1) Double tap the home button
    2) Hold down on an icon
    3) Tap the red "X" on iTunes, and the App Store.
    4) Tap Settings > Store > Tap your Apple ID, and choose sign out
    5) Tap Settings
    6) Tap General
    7) Tap Reset
    8) Tap Network Settings
    Once it has been closed with multi-tasking, and you have rebooted the device in the network settings reset, please sign in, and try again. 
      Howevr, if you are facing the same issue than for this issue, you may need to call our AppleCare technical support team. A technical Advisor will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support. The technical Advisor can also assist you in determining what option might be most helpful to you in this case.
    Mildly amusing that the instructions for force-closing a program are the IOS 6 instructions, which do not work on IOS 7. 
    Otherwise I'm having a little success with this.  Some apps (not all) are updating. It seems that a few more apps update each time I go through the process (close everything, sign out, and either reset or reboot, then go to the app store, sign in and try to update all).  So far it has been a very lengthy, iterative process.
