Check for hardware issues

If you see error 53, learn what to do. If you see one of the errors below, you might have a hardware issue:

  • 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16
  • 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 56
  • 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667 1669

Here's what to check:

  1. If iTunes is already open, quit and reopen it.
  2. Make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes.
  3. Check for issues with third-party security software.
  4. Make sure that your USB cable, computer, and network are reliable. Then try twice more to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod.
  5. If you still see the error message, you can check for outdated or modified software or contact Apple Support.

Check for outdated or modified software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.

If you still see an error message, contact Apple Support.
