Hi edmundfromhigh wycombe,

If you are unable to restore your iPhone, the following resource will provide some troubleshooting steps for the 4005 error you are seeing:

Try these steps to resolve the issue:

  1. Install the latest version of iTunes.
  2. Restart your computer.
  3. Make sure your computer is up to date. If an update requires a restart, check for updates again after you restart.
  4. Restore using another USB cable.
  5. Restore your device on another computer.

If you continue to see error 4005, 4013, or 4014 when you restore your device, contact Apple for support.
