Apple doesn’t explicitly list error #4041, however, 4000-series errors are often associated with the host computer having difficulties contacting Apple’s servers. Communication difficulties of this nature are often linked with Anti-Virus and/or firewall software running on the host computer.

iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support


While you do so entirely at your own risk, try temporarily disabling your AV/Firewall software - and then repeat your attempt to restore your iPad.


Otherwise, you may need to seek assistance directly from from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom left of this page. Alternatively, if you have access to another Apple device, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to provide assistance:

Just thought i'd share my experience as none of the apple forums or apple support could help me here. I did everything in support and tried multiple cables but my iPhone 12 mini remained in a reboot loop with a 4041 error on my macbook. I had also updated my OS to the latest and tried again to no avail.


In the end I tried doing a restore/update on an old iMac that I had, that still had iTunes on it. To my surprise it actually worked! It seems like my old phone needed an old OS to make it work.


I hope that helps someone out there.
