Please help solve this issue.
iPhone X
Well, I already saw this reply to someone else's post, this is not helping, in my 15 years experience in tech industry I haven't seen a device so advanced and expensive and yet having UNKNOWN error codes like 9, 21, 75, 78, 47 and so on, surprisingly all of them are unknown! so what do they know about their device hardware and software ? I have used much less expensive devices that come with at least a manual showing all error codes with an explanation. And good luck trying apple support.
Oh, it literally said error 47. I think that this might help you: https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/226594/Restore+error+47.+What+could+be+the+problem
Another thing I’m seeing from other websites is that error 47 is caused by an iPhone device driver issue on Windows. Try putting your device into recovery mode: https://osxdaily.com/2019/02/06/enter-exit-dfu-mode-iphone-xs-xr-xs-max/
Also, give me a screenshot of this on Mac if you can.
thanks for your help and quick replies, but the article is 5 years old and the solution was to buy a new iPhone. anyway below is the screenshot from a mac book pro with catalina:
I looked up on support articles on the error code, and I cannot find error code 47 in the article. Perhaps you mean 37.
If that’s the case, you might have a hardware issue, according to the article.
An unknown error occurred (47)
