If it still doesn’t work with a genuine Apple cable, you are going to have to turn off your windows firewall while you do the operation. Just put the phone into recovery mode https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/restart-iphone-recovery-mode/, turn your windows firewall off, then plug the phone into your computer and iTunes should say there’s a phone in recovery mode would you like to update and restore. Just say yes and you should be good to go. If you are using a third party antivirus you need to turn that off with the firewall, windows and Apple stuff just doesn’t play well together sometimes with their security. DON’T FORGET TO TURN IT ALL BACK ON AS SOON AS YOU ARE DONE.
Good luck bud, have a great day!
Thank you, Andre! I didn't reinstall itunes since months and I was stuck on update 12.1 - my phone kept updating it and nothing helped. This time deleting and reinstalling itunes worked! I don't know why four times I did it last year it didn't help, but this time it did :)
I guess fifth time was a charm for my phone.
I'll be honest, I don't know what I did, but I'll tell you what I did before it worked.
Enter the itunes match option that remains in the store tab, then, try to restore but, while I was extracting the firmware, connect and then disconnect the iphone several times and obviously I do not detect the iphone well and then connect it normal and I started again to start the process but this time I do restore the most normal!
That 's what I did
sorry if there are things misspelled
I do not speak English!!!
but it's funny that I get same issue with apple cable...
@BetterThanSupport
This is the only fix I could find all over apple's website. Thank you internet stranger.
Same here.
I cant restore my ipad, and it is stuck on the restore screen (cable + pc).
Please support.
Thanks
I was having the same issue when trying to restore using a PC. However, I was able to complete the restoration process using a Mac running Catalina beta.
Literally the greatest! Thank you soooo much!!
Disabling my windows firewall did really work. Thanks dude
Thanks mate, disabling Win10 firewall helped me!
No problem, glad I could help!
