      This may happen when you're trying to install old firmware and Apple's servers do not approve the installation. The only solution is to get the SHSH blob backed up and modify/change from the host's file to point at Saurik's Cydia Server, where you can back it up. It can happen with the restoration to the latest iOS system software and the hosts to Cydia. Delete gs.apple.com lines from the host files.

    • Once your latest update is installed on software, your iPhone will reboot. You now have iOS7 functioning properly so you can enjoy your favorite iTunes again. Say, "Adios!" to the "iTunes error 9006" and the "Software Update Unavailable" messages!

    Questions and Answers

    Should I start over when an ipod just won't turn on?

    Because I've had more than just this error.

    You should do a Factory Reset (on your iPod) to remove all possible errors. Do the following:

    • First - backup your data!!!
    • Open the iTunes program.
    • Connect your ipod to your computer via USB cable.
    • Your ipod should show up on the program.
    • Tap Restore on summary tab.

    You will need to back up your data first. Connect your ipod to the computer>open iTunes>click file>devices>backup.

    Have you been able to resolve this issue?

    I can't update my iPhone 4 from 6.0 to 7.0.6

    You should be able to do this without any problem, but in some instances, there are three things that might hindrance you: 1. Your phone is not charged more than 50%. If you battery is running low, this will not allow you to do an update. 2. You have very little space on your phone. You may want to erase files and other things you don't need or use. 3. A week or intermittent internet connection/WiFi.

    Hi, I am getting unknown error 2 occurrences. Could you please help me with that?

    Hi, I am getting unknown error 2 occurrences in iTunes while restoring to iOS 7.0.6. Could you please help me with that?

    Error 2 occurrences is related to security software. Please check the settings on your current security software. Your security software might be blocking ports and preventing you to connect to the Apple server during the update and restore process. So, if it's possible to temporarily turn off your current Antivirus/Security software, please do it and then try to restore your phone again. Don't forget to turn the Antivirus/Security back on when the update is complete.

    My problem is error 27. How can I fix it?

    How can fix it? I have an iPhone 5. Thank you.

    This is a common iTunes error encountered when you attempt to restore or update your iPhone5 using iTunes. Here's what you can do:

    • Download the latest version of iTunes.
    • If you already have the latest version of iTunes, check for updates.
    • Update your Mac. Install available updates.
    • Check on your security software. There are times when the security software you are using is causing problems. Try updating, uninstalling or changing these programs.
    • Unplug other USB devices. During the downloading process, try unplugging extra USB devices which can hamper successful updates.
    • Restart your device. Shut it down and then turn your iPhone on again for successful integration of recent updates.
    • Try running iTunes updates on your iOS device again.

    Its stuck in recovery mode. I heed help.

    I went to iTunes Nd and tried restoring it. Right after Nd started downloading, I go the 9006 error.

    Turn off your device and leave it that way for about an hour. Then try turning it on again and then do the restore function. If you still see the error, you may want to shut it down again. However, for this second try, instead of turning it on the way you usually do, you might want to do a hard restart instead. Do this by pressing the Home and Power button simultaneously for a few seconds, until you see the apple logo on the screen. Doing this at times may allow the clogs in the system to break free and you will avoid those errors again.

    Error 9006 usually occurs when there seems to be a threat to security. Since you are on iTunes and there is more likely no security issues, you just need to try to restart your device, as it is just a simple system glitch. Let your device rest for a while before restarting and then go back to iTunes. It should be able to function normally.

    How do I stop this from happening?

    My iPhone has a logo on the screen with a USB below it saying iTunes but when I connect it to iTunes, error 9006 comes up just at the end of the update.

    I reset iPad, clearing/deleting all data, but as starting up, stalled at start up. Then entered recovery, but when trying to restore factory settings through iTunes, get an Error 10 message. There were no fixes listed for the Error 10 message on iPads. I have tried: Restarted iPad several times, I've also restarted iTunes, there are no updates needed on my computer.
