Using a different USB port

The port can work correctly on your computer, however, the device can conflict with it elementary. As a rule, most often this is due to the fact that users connect their gadgets to USB 3.0 (this port is highlighted in blue) or do not connect devices to the computer directly, that is, using USB hubs, ports built into the keyboard, and so on.

In this case, the best solution is to connect to a USB port (not 3.0) directly to the computer. If you have a stationary computer, it is desirable that the connection be made to the port on the back of the system unit.

USB cable replacement

It has been repeatedly noted on our website that most iTunes errors can be caused by an unoriginal or damaged cable.

The fact is that even certified cables for Apple devices can suddenly refuse to work correctly, which is to say about very cheap analogs of the Lightning cable or about a cable that has seen a lot and has a lot of damage.

If you suspect that the cable was the fault of error 11, we strongly recommend that you replace it, at least for the duration of the update or recovery procedure by borrowing it from another user of the apple device.

Reinstalling iTunes

If none of the above methods have worked, you should try reinstalling iTunes after completely removing the program from your computer.

After the iTunes program is removed from your computer, you will need to reboot the system, and then proceed to download and install the latest version of iTunes, be sure to download the distribution from the developer’s official website.

Itunes update

Many users, having once installed the program on their computer, do not bother at all at least a rare check for updates, although this moment is especially important, since iTunes is regularly updated to adapt to work with new versions of iOS, as well as to fix existing problems.

Ways to Resolve Error 11 in iTunes

Reboot devices

First of all, you need to suspect an ordinary system failure that can appear both from the computer and from an apple device connected to iTunes.

Close iTunes and then restart your computer. After waiting for the system to boot completely, you will need to launch iTunes again.

For the apple gadget, you will also need to reboot, however, here it must be forced. To do this, hold down the Home and Power keys on your device and hold until the device is suddenly turned off. Boot your device and then connect it to your computer with a USB cable and check iTunes status and error.
