Hello Matchabs,


For errors when attempting to restore your iPhone, you'll want to take the steps below:


1. Update your Mac or PC
Update your Mac. Or if you have a PC, get updates from Microsoft. If you're using iTunes, make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes.

2. Plug your device directly into your computer
Plug your iPhone, iPad, or iPod directly into your computer's USB port (not into an attached keyboard or USB hub). Make sure that the cable is in good condition.
Make sure that your device is unlocked. If prompted, trust your device.
If you still see an error alert, try a different Apple USB cable or switch to a different USB port on your computer.
 
3. Restart your computer and your device
Turn off your computer, then turn it on again. Next, restart your device.

4. Check your computer’s security software
You might need to update, change, or uninstall software that could be interfering with your computer's connection with iTunes.
 
5. Use a different computer
Update or restore your device on another computer that uses a different network.

Should that still persist, you'll want to reach out to Apple Support: Apple Support They'll be in the best position to look into this further.


Take care.

As a last resort, try a Forced Restart on the phone. Follow the instructions very carefully, as this is a bit tricky. You may need to repeat this several times.


Force restart iPhone - Apple Support


There are only 2 possible results when you perform a Forced Restart:


1) The phone returns to normal operation

2) There is a hardware problem with the phone that will need attention at the Apple Store (make an appointment) or at an authorized Apple Service shop
