iphone 4 wont restore, help

I got a new iphone 4 yesterday, and I woke up to it saying connect to itunes. After doing that, it said "itunes had dectected a phone in recovery mode. You must restore iphone." So I click restore. And then restore and update. Then it says extracting software... But after that it just says "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (2006). and my iphone's screen goes back to connect to itunes. HELP!

iPhone 4, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on): If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.
