iTunes error 50, iPhone 4S restore Mac?
I have tried quite many "solutions" on the internet for the error 50 while restoring my iPhone 4S, but they don't work. I changed the port, used different computers, changed my internet connection, but nothing worked. My iTunes is a recent version. I have tried: I have tried quite many ideas I've found on the internet. I think it was caused by: I don't know, my iPhone got stuck on network search and I decided to restore it. Now I keep getting Error 50.
Did you try the suggestion above - holding down the Power and Home and trying to Restore again? Also, try to disable the Automatic sync and then try again. Hopefully, you didn't damage the IC as this would also show an Error 50, and needs to be repaired internally at an iPhone repair center.

I have an iPhone 6. Can you help me? I tried to install 9.3.1, but I still have this error.
They sent out a build that needs a patch, but this shouldn't have been an issue with your device, unless you installed the wrong version. For example, on websites the iOS 9.3.1 6.1 build is not for the iPhone 6, it's intended for an iPhone 5S. The bugged build was iOS 9.3 build of 12E233. The patched version is 12E237.
