error 1013 :mad:

Spunk84

I had ios 4.1 on my iphone 4 and decided to update to 4.3 last night:mad: So i got all it download and now my phone wont let me restore or upgrade, its just has the itunes and usb plug on the screen :mad: and when i keep trying to get it thru the process of restore/upgrade it says theres an error 1013:(

I tried below but doesnt seem to work!!!!!!!!!!

On Windows:
Locate the hosts file in one of the following directories:

Windows 95/98/Me c:\windows\hosts
Windows NT/2000/XP Pro c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Windows XP, Vista, 7 c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Right click and click on “Open With…” and then click on “Notepad” on the list.
Remove the line that has gs.apple.com completely and save the file.

I brought it to Fixmypc.ie and they said it was because my phone was jailbroken and that apple designed the 4.3 to do this with all jail broken phones? The fello said the iphone now has to have a custom upgrade but i will lose all my data including contacts? I had backed up my phone with the 4.1 on itunes but can i transfer all this back onto the phone if i get 4.3 to work?

Any ideas

You're obviously not doing the editing of the hosts file correctly.
Make sure when you save the hosts file that you do not save it as an "all file".
On Vista/Windows it won't let you save directly to the host file quoting bullshít about permissions so you have to save it elsewhere.
Make sure when you do that it doesn't end in a .txt.
Go to folder options and make sure that "hide known extensions" is unticked.

Also if it did allow you to save the new file with the hosts location check that it didn't save it as hosts.txt as well.


Error 1013 simply refers to that Apple could not connect to it's verification server (the entry in your hosts file blocks it from doing this)

I had something similar before. I just downloaded iTunes in work and it activated through that no problem. Then it worked grand with me pc. It happened to me at the verification stage

Presume just open a blank notepad file, copy and paste in the info from the old hosts file and click save as 'All files'? Then replace it.

I'm not sure though.

Use a file browser (WinSCP) to access the folder to remove the extension, make sure "hide known extensions" is unticked under folder options.

...open windows explorer, go to file and folder options on the menu..
untick the hide known extensions and then simply rename it hosts instead of hosts.txt

The file doesnt say 'hosts.txt' it just says 'hosts' but its a notepad file,not a blank looking icon like the rest.
When i start tinyumbrella i get 'host file is not writeable' message.
