iTunes: Fix error 1671 - Here's how

If iTunes reports error 1671, there is a problem updating or restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. We'll show you how to solve the problem.

Fix error 1671 in iTunes

In the best case, iTunes is currently downloading the software update for installation and therefore displays error 1671. This is the case when you see the download button in the top right of iTunes. In this case, wait a little longer. Otherwise, the following tips will help.

• Restart: Turn off your computer and iOS device completely, and then turn them on again. This clears errors in the buffer.
• Update: An old version of iTunes also causes complications. Therefore, carry out an iTunes update.
• USB: Do not connect your iOS device to the usual USB port. Use a different connector and try another cable.

iTunes: Blocking leads to error 1671

• If the connection between iPhone and iTunes is blocked, it is often due to security software. Briefly deactivate all self-installed anti-virus programs and firewalls.
• Blockages can also be found in the so-called hosts file. If you move the file to your desktop for a short time, you can easily do it in iTunes. But don't forget to put the file back in its place later.
• You will find the hosts file under Windows in the path "C: \ Windows \ System32 \ drivers \ etc". Under MacOS you have to go to the following path: "/ private / etc / hosts".
