Every iTunes Error Message/Code you will ever see EXPLAINED - D3xus - Nov 1, 2011
Errors -9XXX
Error -9843
This error happens if you are logged out, try to download something from the iTunes store and if you click on "Download" and enter an account, which doesn't have this article, this error will occur.
Error -9815, Error -9814 & Error -9800
Set exact date, restart computer.
Error -9812
Check system time, reset Internet connection, update root certificates.
Error -9808
Computer system time incorrect.
Errors -50xx
Error -5000
There is a problem with the permissions of the Mobile Application folder. The App you've tried to download in iTunes couldn't be saved. Try using CMD to take full Admin Control of the folder mentioned above.
Errors -32xx
Error -3259
Connection timeout, try again.
Error -3198
Error downloading, try again.
OR
This device isn't eligible for the requested build.
Errors -1 <-> -100
Error -50
Delete Storm Video, QuickTime, iTunes, then reinstall iTunes.
Error -35
Error when downloading songs purchased on iTunes. Try again.
Error -1
Error occurs when one uses the "last ditch" method for preventing baseband updates on the iPhone 4. The baseband does not get updated using this method. Use TinyUmbrella to kick it out of recovery mode.
Errors 1-100
Error 1
You are attempting to downgrade an iPhone from iOS 5 to iOS 4.x. To resolve, use either custom firmware created by PwnageTool/sn0wbreeze/redsn0w or use notcom's FixRecovery utility available on his site.
On an iPhone 4 downgrading from iOS 5, use the option in TinyUmbrella to allow a baseband "upgrade" to bypass the error and go back to baseband 4.10.1.
OR
Unable to downgrade. Try changing the USB port (the back one of chassis is better) and restart computer.
OR
The installed version of iTunes may also be too old. Update iTunes.
Error 2
ASR does not exist on ramdisk or is corrupt/not signed.
sn0wbreeze 1.6 Custom Firmware has a ASR patch problem. Use sn0wbreeze 1.7+ or PwnageTool. Device isn't bootable.
Error 6
The device is connected to a corrupt or malfunctioned USB port; change the port and restart the computer.
Error 9
Due to asr being patched, the SHA signature is automatically changed and after being resigned the kernel will refuse to use it. Therefore proper kernel patches are required. If necessary kernel patches are not applied, it will fail to load asr and error 9 would occur during restore.
Rebooting your Mac or PC may resolve this issue.
Error 10
LLB is missing from the IPSW. The device cannot be booted up. The trick to skip the baseband update no longer works.
Error 11
Removed BBFW file in the firmware folder of an unzipped IPSW. Can also be used to prevent a baseband update. The device is bootable, if you set the auto-boot to true or use TinyUmbrella and use "Kick Device out of Recovery".
You are trying to update to a custom firmware from PwnageTool 4.1+. You always have to go into DFU mode and restore from there.
Error 13
Occurs when you want to install a beta firmware with iTunes for Windows (actively blocked by Apple; beta users are developers and therefore must have a Mac.)
OR
USB problem. Check the USB connection and try other direct ports or maybe the USB cable is an older one. Device isn't bootable.
OR
The installed version of iTunes may also be too old. For firmwares 4.0 and higher you need iTunes 9.2 or higher. Update iTunes.
Error 14
Custom firmware update fail (PwnageTool until 4.0.1). You have to restore the device with a custom firmware. Update to a custom firmware isn't working. Device isn't bootable.
OR
USB Problem. Check the USB connection and try other direct ports or maybe the USB cable is an older one. Device isn't bootable.
OR
You're trying to 'update' to a beta firmware instead of performing a restore. Device is still bootable if you kick it out of recovery mode.
Rebooting your Mac or PC may resolve this issue.
Error 17
Device failed to display the applelogo img3 which results in this error.
OR
One or more of the nand0/nor0 flash images were missing from the IPSW.
Error 18
This occurs when the media library on the device is corrupt and cannot be modified or updated.
Updating to the latest version of iTunes and then restoring should resolve this issue
Error 20
Reportedly happens during failed downgrade attempts (iOS 2.0 to 1.1.1, 5 beta to 4.3.3).
Some have seen success afterwards by doing the downgrade from DFU mode instead of the normal Recovery mode.
Error 21
Custom firmware restore fail (PwnageTool since 4.1). You have to put your device into the DFU mode and not into recovery mode. Device won't boot correctly an stuck at the Apple logo after the error. Press and hold power and home button until it reboots.
Error 23
Cannot restore or update due to hardware problems.
In software you have to set default web browser.
In hardware, it's a communication problem. Check all connections, also try to change battery.
Faulty baseband flash or processor
Happens frequently after water damage. Remove and clean motherboard.
Error 26
Values or variables in the options property list within the ramdisk are incorrect.
False version of the NOR flash firmware. Use the correct sn0wbreeze version.
Error 28
Hardware error. Return your device to Apple if possible. The problem is a bad dock connector on the iPhone. Must change the connector.
If you have tried almost everything, reset the logic board (leave uncharged for five days or remove battery for half an hour), then pwn and restore. If this doesn't work, the flash memory/hard drive of your device is damaged.
Error 29
See Apple's discussion thread number 2329795 about this problem. You might need to change the battery.
Error 31
DFU Loop.
Error 34
The computer's hard disk is out of space. Delete unnecessary files and try again.
Error 37
iPod touch 2G LLB patched with the 0x24000 Segment Overflow was used on an iPhone 3GS custom firmware. Known on damaged bundles from unofficial PwnageTool distributions or bundles.
sn0wbreeze 2.0.1 bug, which was fixed in 2.0.2.
Recent sn0wbreeze can cause this issue. Deselect all custom boot logos, recreate IPSW. If received on an iPhone 3GS, select "new boot-rom" and deselect all custom bootlogos, then recreate the IPSW.
Error 40
Hacktivation bug in Sn0wbreeze 2.0.1, which was fixed in Sn0wbreeze 2.0.2.
Error 46
The cause of this error is unknown.
Errors 10xx
Error 1002
Error when restoring.
Error 1004
This is caused by a failure to match the Baseband Nonce currently in memory to the nonce returned in the Baseband Firmware SHSH blob. This happens if you edited the hosts file (Saurik's Server) or you are using TinyUmbrella. Use TinyUmbrella and "Kick Device Out Of Recovery" to boot.
Error 1011
This is caused by recovery mode being in userland (1.1.1 firmware). The file iTunesMobileDevice.dll is damaged or updated.
Error 1013
iPhone 4
This means that the baseband did not get updated. Either remove the gs.apple.com entry from your hosts file and let the baseband upgrade or if you want to preserve the baseband just jailbreak at this point to boot it up.
Other Devices
Restart computer; change computer; reinstall system, if the device is always in restoring mode: XP users can jump from restoring mode with ibus; MAC users can use iNdependence. (usually on the iPhone 2G with 1.0.2 firmware downgraded from 1.1.1)
Error 1014
This occurs when you try to downgrade your device's baseband.
Error 1015
This error is common when downgrading iPhones and 3G-enabled iPads. The problem occurs when the device's baseband has a higher version number than the baseband in the firmware you restored to. Just set auto-boot true in iRecovery or use iREB/TinyUmbrella/RecBoot.1
Errors 13xx
Error 1394
When Spirit2Pwn flashes parts of the boot chain on iOS 4, the device may crash into DFU Mode.
Errors 14xx
Error 1413, 1415, 1417, 1418 & 1428
Restart computer; change USB port; reinstall system.
Error 1050
Bad response from gs.apple.com
OR
need iREB for preparing the device for restoring to custom IPSW
Errors 16xx
Error 1600
Custom firmware can't be restored on a device with DFU Mode. The software of the iPhone isn't patched. Using iREB, sn0wbreeze, redsn0w, or PwnageTool, you need to enter a pwned DFU Mode. During that process the software gets patched and the custom firmware should run without any problems.
Error 1601
See also Apple's Knowledge Base article number TA38633.
Error 1602
Restart computer; change computer; reinstall system.
If this error occured during an Apple TV restore, then unplug the Apple TV from the power cable, after you entered the recovery or DFU mode, and then try it again.
Error 1603
False kernelcache patch. Known on damaged bundles from unofficial PwnageTool distributions or bundles. See also Apple's Knowledge Base article number TA38604
Error 1604
Device was not pwned (signature checks were not blocked). Custom firmware can't be restored. Can also happen when there's a problem with the IPSW.
Error 1611
iTunes tried to enter the Restore Mode, but the device turned back to the Recovery Mode. This can happen when updating an iPad 2 jailbroken with Saffron gets updated to iOS5. In this case simply retry, as it is in Recovery Mode then anyway.
Error 1618
Missing system files or corrupt data in iTunes installation. Try to uninstall iTunes, restart computer, install again.
Error 1619
iTunes is too old and couldn't read the iPhone in Recovery or DFU Mode. Please update iTunes and try it again.
Error 1644
IPSW was moved within the computer hard disk during preparation with iTunes. Try it again and don't move the IPSW.
Errors 20xx
Errors 2000-2009 (from Apple support): 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. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.
Error 2001
The Mac OS X kernel extension "IOUSBFamily" that was bundled with late 2008 / early 2009 MacBooks, as well as the 10.5.6 update, has a bug where it fails to properly recognize an iDevice in DFU Mode. It can be resolved by updating to 10.5.7 (or later), or using a USB hub.
Close limera1n.
Error 2002
iTunes can't connect because another program is using it or it's disconnected during the Apple Server check.
Error 2003
Connection problem; change USB cable and check USB port.
sn0wbreeze failed to restore IPSW; unplug and plug iDevice and try again
Error 2005
Problem connecting. Probably a hardware failure.
Somebody reported that reinstalling the USB drivers fixed the problem.
Error 2006
Replace the USB cable with a newer one and/or disconnect all other USB devices, then retry.
Error 2009
The cause of this error is unknown
Errors 30xx
Error 3002
Update to an older firmware isn't working, because Apple is no longer handing out SHSHs for the device/firmware combination.
Or a timeout checking Apple server - retry later.
This error also happens if you try to Update with a local TSS server (TinyUmbrella tool) and probably also when connecting to Cydia Server. Use Restore instead.
Error 3004
No internet connection during the firmware restore.
iTunes can't connect to gs.apple.com. Maybe Port 80 and Port 443 is blocked. Open it on your router.
Error 3014
Bad hosts file. The SHSH request couldn't be completed. No connection to the Apple Server, Cydia Server or localhost (for TinyUmbrella.)
iTunes can't connect to gs.apple.com. Maybe Port 80 and Port 443 is blocked. Open it on your router.
Errors 31xx
Error 3123
Something dealing with movie rentals.
Error 3191
QuickTime may be corrupted. You must reinstall it before iTunes will work. Windows users, also try turning off Compatibility Mode for QuickTime.
Right-click on "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QuickTimePlayer.exe" ("Program Files (x86)" for 64-bit Windows) and choose Properties from the shortcut menu.
In the Properties window, click on the Compatibility tab. Deselect the checkbox labeled “Run this program in compatibility mode for.”
Click Apply.
Close the Properties window
Error 3194
Occurs when trying to install an old firmware and Apple's server disallows the installation. The only solution is to have SHSH backup and modify the hosts file to point to Saurik's Cydia Server where they are backed up (or localhost if you have it yourself).
Error 3195
There is no SHSH for the firmware.
This is the same as "This device isn't eligible for the request build." but with an cache error.
Errors 32xx
Error 3200
You are trying to update to iOS 5, when infact, the IPSW file has only a Restore Ramdisk.
Errors 90xx
Error 9008
Error downloading, try again.
Errors 10,000 and beyond
Error 11222
A security software you have installed may be conflicting with iTunes.
Error 13019
Seems to be an issue with syncing media to the device... It only seems to happen on jailbroken devices. Create new user, try syncing with new user's library. If that fails, restore. If it doesn't fail, then something on YOUR iTunes Library is causing the error.
In iOS 3.0~3.1.0 this was a known bug related to the sync process accessing iTunes-renamed Voice Memos.
Error 20000
Is caused by a custom theme pack on your Windows. Use default Theme.
This error can also be caused by the iDevice rebooting during the "Extracting Firmware" stage of restore.
Error 20008
This happened on a Mac with TinyUmbrella running before restoring a firmware to the Apple TV. The exact cause and fix is unknown.

Error Texts
This device isn't eligible for the requested build
Main Article: SHSH Apple doesn't sign the firmware anymore. Consider getting TinyUmbrella
The (iPhone/iPod/iPad) "XXXXXX" could not be restored because the firmware file is not compatible.
You downloaded the wrong firmware file (or it is corrupt). Download the correct firmware file that matches your device. Here's an overview of file names (beginning) and devices:
AppleTV2,1_ Apple TV 2G
iPad1,1_ iPad (1G)
iPad2,1_ iPad 2 Wi-Fi model
iPad2,2_ iPad 2 GSM model
iPad2,3_ iPad 2 CDMA model
iPhone1,1_ iPhone (2G)
iPhone1,2_ iPhone 3G
iPhone2,1_ iPhone 3GS
iPhone3,1_ iPhone 4 GSM model
iPhone3,3_ iPhone 4 CDMA model
iPhone4,1_ iPhone 4S
iPod1,1_ iPod touch (1G)
iPod2,1_ iPod touch 2G
iPod3,1_ iPod touch 3G
iPod4,1_ iPod touch 4G
The (iPhone/iPod/iPad) "XXXXXX" cannot be restored at this time because the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.
If you want to upgrade or downgrade the baseband, make sure you didn't change the hosts file. The Cydia Server cannot handle the requests for the baseband certificates.
There was a problem downloading the software for the (iPhone/iPod/iPad) “XXXXXXX” the network connection was reset, make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.
You need to disable both your Anti-Virus and your windows/security firewall in order for the update/restore to go through.
1 Use TinyUmbrella (Kick Device out of Recovery), iRecovery or redsn0w Lite and enter "setenv auto-boot true", "saveenv", "reboot" to boot.
2 Device isn't bootable, but a custom firmware can be restored if it has a jailbreak and the requirements.

I know that if you restore, you'll be fine.
