  • TS3694 Can't restore and recover iPhone 4s. Keep getting The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (14). Help please!

    Please help. I simply connected my iPhone 4s to my Dell laptop (Win 8) which connected to iTunes automatically (which it normally does) and was told that I needed to update my software (I believe for both iPhone OS and iTunes). I tried to update and now my iPhone won't work at all. I just keep going in circles trying to restore and recover and I keep getting the error message: The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (14). All I see on my iPhone 4s screen is a cable connector, a little up arrow, and an iTunes symbol--and nothing else works.

  • An unknown error occurred (1013), Any ideas?

    I have the iphone 3g, it's 3 months old, and while trying to restore it my computer crashed, when I tried to restore it again it came up with the following message "An unknown error occurred (1013), the iphone could not be restored, then comes up with the option of trying to restore it again!
    I have not jail broke this phone, it is mine out right and I have tried to restore it using a different machine and OS just case there was something wrong with the one I have, all this did not work.
    From what I can can make out the Software version 2.2 and the size of the unit (eg. 16GB) is missing, but the serial number is still there on the menu. Can anyone help?

    I googled the error message, lots of threads about jailbroken phones having this issue. This one was not. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1752200&tstart=0

  • Cannot restore iPhone 3GS unknown error occurred (40)

    I was using my iPhone yesterday and the battery went dead. When I charged it, the iTunes logo with the cable appeared on the screen. I tried connecting my iPhone to my computer via iTunes, then it said that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode saying that I have to restore it. After clicking OK and restore on itunes, I received an error (40). I've attached a screenshot from it.
    My friend gave me this iPhone. I honestly cannot afford your product but I can say that it is the best phone that I had so far. Please help me.
    Thanks.

    tunes could not check for an update to the carrier settings for your iphone. an unknown error occurred (1635) 
    any ideas? thx

    I get the same error (although in Dutch ;-)).
    It also says something like (I'm translating): "Make sure your network settings are correct and your networkconnection is active or try again later." Is there a way to find out these "correct networksettings"?
    I now get it for a week, eacht time I connect my iPhone to itunes...

    The search bar can be very valuable...........
    In using it, I found out other's have had this issue and it likely means you have a 3G iPad?  If you do, go into settings and turn off cellular data, then try to update again and you should be OK........

    I had this same issue as well and so I had to update Itunes to the newest version which is 11.1 or something along those lines.  After I updated Itunes to the most current version, I was able to restore my iphone 5.  Hope this helps!

  • The ipod "ipod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1602)

    After trying to update ipod, during the phase where I had to back-up the ipod, an error message popped up (I can't remember what it said). Now, the ipod is just stuck on the "plugin to itunes" icon. Itunes and my computer can't recognize my ipod anymore. I have tried putting it into DFU mode and my computer detects my ipod and begins installing the drivers. On my first attempt, the drivers installation failed, so I reinstalled itunes and quicktime. Then after putting it into DFU mode again, it begins installing the drivers, but this time it was successful. Now I had the option to 'restore' my ipod so I did what I could. However, when I was installing it, 2 more drivers had to be installed and they were successful, however, I get this error message:
    The ipod "ipod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1602)
    Any help would be greatly appreciate. Thanks very much for your time.

    Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
    Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
    Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
    This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

    Did you try restarting it by holding down the hold and lock button at the same time until you get the apple logo?  If you already tried that then you should try putting it in DFU mode and doing a restore by following these instructions- http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
