Error 4000 is an undocumented error code (at least publicly undocumented). It means that the connection between the phone and iTunes was interrupted in the middle of a sync or update activity. In the past this might have been caused by a flakey USB port, an antivirus or a firewall. However, there is a new cause of this error that is the result of a bug in iTunes for Windows that requires the phone not be locked during the update. So first check your antivirus and firewall (temporarily disable them), but if that doesn’t fix it there are three workarounds for the bug:
Note that this error should only be a problem for updates; if you are restoring iOS rather than updating it should not occur.
Hello Apple i have iphone 7 update
iOS14 Error 4000
whats a solution ?
The solution has been posted many times in the thread you posted to. Just go back and read the other posts.
I received the same error. I am trying to update from ios 11. Spent hours on the phone with Apple techs - they couldn't fix it.

Nope. Removing password did not work. I have an appointment to go I. Store to the Genius Bar on Saturday.
iPhone12 Mini - Same issue updating to 14.2, tried everything.
Removing passcode works. Thank you.
Thanks a lot. It worked.
Any idea when we can expect Apple to fix this problem?
Seems very silly to have to call Celine remove my Apple Pay cards each time I want to update iOS.

No idea. A number of us with connections to higher-ups within Apple have been unable to get an answer.
Hopefully all of you who have connections can get a positive result.
I've seen this update fail while updating OTA too, so I’d be surprised if Apple’s team weren’t aware
I have seen NO reports of error 4000 updating over the air. As it is an iTunes error message that would seem to be impossible.
You do know that once the update downloads you will be prompted to enter the password to install it? If you don’t respond to that prompt the update will fail.
lol fine, to be perfectly clear, the update would fail even after entering the password correctly.
that’s why removing the password apparently works. Happy now :)
Removing the passcode worked for me too.
Error 4000 occured when I was trying to update to v14.3... And switching off passcode worked. But why is this the case? is it an IOS bug?
