How I solved Error -23 while updating my iPhone4 to ios5
Encountered this error both times while using iTunes 1) Windows XP 2) Lion OS. Turned out that the problem occurred because I wasn't using the original USB cable that came with my iPhone but was using a cheap cable bought off DragonExt. Once I swapped the cable to my original cable, everything worked flawlessly. Let me know if you encountered the same error and managed to resolve the problem the same way or if you solved the problem with a different resolution so that I can share it with others who might be facing the same problem?
