Error 3004 when restoring iPhone bothersA considerable number of owners of "apple" devices. Most often, the occurrence of problem situations occurs on devices of the fourth and fifth generations. The main trouble is that the 3004 error when restoring the iPhone does not allow you to start the smartphone even when it has the old software installed.
Previously, experts and amateurs have already conductedOwn "investigations", which gave an explanation of the error. It appears after an incorrect update using iTunes. It is officially recognized that the fault lies in the fact that there is a malfunction of the service, which in fact provides the software. Accordingly, failure to deliver software threatens its incorrect operation. However, the official data are already outdated, and users were able to identify the following reasons, due to which an error 3004 occurs when the iPhone is restored:
1) Block the program running antivirus. However, iTunes cannot contact the server for information and installation of the application.
2) Firewall ban.Perhaps he regards the information received by iTunes as a potential threat. Therefore, in order to avoid infecting the computer, it decides to block the stream. This causes error numbered 3004.
Initially it was assumed that iTunes wasnot finalized until the end, and this became the cause of many faults. However, time has shown that not only the service is to blame for this, but also incorrectly set mobile device settings. In this case, the right of choice remains with the user, and he literally in a few minutes can fix all the problems without consulting the specialists. By the way, in iTunes errors 3194, 3014, 3004 are of the same nature, therefore they are solved in a similar way. We will talk about how to do this.
Agree with a simple axiom of life:all should be in moderation. This rule even applies to the antivirus program that protects our personal computer or laptop from malware. Well, when the antivirus blocks really infected objects. But when it causes an error 3004 in the iPhone 4S or another version of the device, it becomes a source of problems. Software downloaded using the iTunes service contains startup commands. This is what worries the antivirus, and it blocks the flow of information.
In a few simple steps, we can try to solve the problem:
1) We provide a stable connection of the device with an access point, we organize access to the World Wide Web. We achieve this by disabling antivirus programs on the computer / laptop.
2) Check whether it is really closedprogram. Some utilities have a built-in timeout function, that is, after a time and unconfirmed exit, the antivirus will continue to function successfully.
3) При необходимости вводим пароль.The Anti-Virus may request it if the corresponding sequence of characters was previously generated and installed. Finally we confirm the disconnection of the connection with the network channels.
4) When the program is closed, it shouldrestart iTunes service. If the problem was precisely blocking the flow by the antivirus, then this time everything should work. And what if these steps did not help?
Experimentally, users have proven betterThe entire iTunes “communicates” with a standard browser built into the Windows operating system — Internet Explorer. But what settings should be set to ensure that the 3004 error no longer appears?
1) Install the browser (if it was deleted) and send its shortcut to the desktop of the computer.
2) Click on it with the right mouse button and in the pop-up context menu select the tab with properties.
3) See the frame with extensive scope for activities. We are only interested in the item “Programs”.
4) If you are prompted to install Internet Explorer as your default browser, we agree.
Usually, the above settings allow the user not to fear the occurrence of an error 3004. However, two more factors can affect its occurrence:
1) Unlicensed software (not always). The solution could be a software update with another computer / laptop.
2) The presence of viruses on the computer.A Trojan program may well block access to the official servers of the iTunes service. If the error was repeated, and the first two points did not help, it is probably worth scanning the personal computer.
