find your error number, and fix that issue. maybe itunes or your computer is out of date.

if you have another computer that you can try, try that one

perfect, should be less issues!

+check your security software. if you have antivirus or antispyware, try disabling it temporarily for 15 minutes

programs like AVG, Norton, McAfee can cause some issues when attempting to restore.

+restart your computer

+uninstall and reinstall itunes

+check for windows updates - several times (if necessary) until no more are available.
