Check for outdated or modified software

If you see error 1015 or a message that says, "The required resource can't be found," your device might have unauthorized iOS modifications ("jailbreaking"). Or you might be trying to install an earlier version of iOS (downgrading).

Update to the latest version of iTunes, then use recovery mode to restore your device to the latest version of iOS.
