Hello vhl100,


Thanks for that info and choosing the Apple Support Communities. If I understand correctly, you are unable to restore your iPhone and you're getting an unknown error (5) message in iTunes. For unknown errors, please start with the steps in this Apple article, depending on if you're using a Mac or a Windows computer:


If iTunes doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod


Cheers!
