iTunes errors - corrupted updates and error 14

So I'm trying to update my iPad mini 1G from 7.1.1 to 7.1.2 but iTunes cannot download the update firmware without corrupting the download. I tried 14 other ipsws from other websites and iTunes will either hang during the update (30+ min) or when the progress bar reaches the end iTunes will give me error 14. I've tried looking in the forums but nothing helps, I've reinstalled iTunes on my Mac, I've used three different cables to fix error 14: nothing works. Here are my specs:


OS X 10.9.3 (Mavericks)

iTunes 11.2.2 (3)

iPad Mini 1G 7.1.1

Check your USB connections

Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014, or “invalid response."

To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:

If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.


Additionally, please keep in mind that the only supported methods of updating iOS devices are outlined in the article below. You may want to try performing an Over the Air update if iTunes is giving you trouble.

Hi griff,


Like I said in the original post I used two different USB cables, one of which was the original cable, I plugged my USB into the two different USB ports that are on my Macbook Pro as well as trying four different computers. Also I couldn't use OTA cause my device was in recovery mode....


Oddly enough, I could install iOS 8 beta 3 multiple times over without error even though I am not a registered developer. What I ended up doing was trying an ipsw over and over and over again until iTunes finally took it and completed the transfer. I don't know whats up with either iTunes or the iPad ipsw but I probably won't be restoring to iOS 7.x ever again.
