restore iphone 4 error 1013 and 1611

Thank you very much tonyaco, it's works for me too, but I need to "undo" host file modifications before activate my iPhone again.

I'm sorry for my bad english 😉

This worked perfectly for me... now, any idea WHY this is happening??? I've never jailbroken... this device.

Thank you very much. It helped my situation.

Somebody remember why gs.aple.com is "blocked" ??

Yes, removing the line with gs.apple.com from the hosts file worked for me too. Just remember to restart iTunes if you had it open with you edited the hosts file.

Had the very same 1013 error on my iPhone 4 & iPad. Followed this advice and both updated perfectly. Thanks for the good advice!

Thanx thanx a lot...........This works and i love it, Now my Iphone 4 is back

Yah bro it worked for me too. Kick *** thanks.

agreed, works like a charm. @thiago_bagua great tip, i forgot to restart itunes the first time.

I've had the same 1013 problem and i've tried everything i could find...
tried a different computer (old pc) - No luck
tried rebooting - no luck
reinstalled iTunes - no luck
cleared isync history - no luck
i even tried changing the details in my host file... but this is the interesting one!
There was no gs.apple.com...
Whats going on?
btw i have never jailbroken anything on this Mac...
i have an appointment tomorrow at the apple store but maaaaaan i hate dealing with the Genius bar staff at my local because the last time i went the guy was a pompous A**hole who thought i didn't know how to re-boot a computer.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

oh and i even tried using RecBoot to try and knock it out of restore mode... no luck there either 😟

hi, it works
thanks tonyacos

U may wanna try n put iphone into dfu mode before you restore. Im facing the same problem and am trying to work it out =S

Liam_A,

Could you fix your problem?

Armin

Sorry, still no luck yet...
All i've managed to try aside from what i listed above is to remove as many traces of iTunes as possible when uninstalling it...

i followed (as best i could) the poorly written instructions at the end of this thread :

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2657814&tstart=45

it felt like it may have worked but... nope, exactly the same "Error 1013"
So it looks like i'm going to have to take the hour long journey to my local apple store. I'll still look for solutions until then and if i find anything that works i'll be sure to post it up on here.
Otherwise i'll let you know what I end up having to do tomorrow at the genius bar (repair or replace).

EXCELLENT, you are a godsend. Apple Support needs to get classes from you!!! Thank you very much!!!! Maybe Apple will not pull this post!! Since they like to pull negative posts about the quality of their support!
