Error Msg 4013 when attempting to install iOS 13.1

How do I restore iPhone Xr after attempting to install iOS 13.1? I get error msg 4013, and will not restore or recover. This is when connected to a 2011 Mac Mini running Sierra, with the latest version of iTunes.

Hi Lawrence,

I figured out the problem! It appears that the phone CANNOT be updated when in an Apple Smart Charging case. I didn't see any note of this in their literature with the case, but when I took the phone out of the case this morning and tried it again, it worked, and is now almost completely restored! I did NOT see any notice of this in their literature, FYI. Hope this info helps!
