I was upgrading via Option Click when it decompressed the GM IPSW. Then iTunes 12 crashed and would crash again upon restart, and my phone was stuck in stuck in DFU. I even rebooted. But iTunes would only crash if my phone was plugged in.
Got a tip for us?

I am stuck in DFU.... my work computer has Yosemite, and my mavericks computer is with my wife.
How do I fix it in XCode?
Just upgrading xcode should work. Or you can try removing iTunes 12 and installing 11.
That's correct, yes.
I believe Xcode 6 updates the iPhone USB drivers and thus fixes the issue.
Yeah I am not sure you are doing it right. Do you know how to install an iOS update from an ipsw file?
If you're familiar with the terminal,
go "sudo" and rename "iTunes.app" to "iTunesOLD.app"
as well as rename the iTunes Folder in ~/Music/ to something temporary.
Then download iTunes 11, Install, do nothing but update the device(s)
and reverse these steps.
Thats how I did it.

Yeah I'm clicking "Restore iPhone..." with it plugged it and I click restore, and I've tried back up and don't back up and each time it's coming up with the error message I posted above. No idea what is going on.
Think I might need Xcode with is a right pain as it's 2.4GB so no chance I'll have that downloaded tonight. I need sleep.

I'd like to know this as well. I am using the Yosemite DP 7, downloading Xcode 6 GM from Apple.
I have an iPhone 5S A1533
Yeap, any version will work. Tried Xcode 6 beta 7 and after installing it the iOS 8 GM install went fine!
I downloaded beta 7 (updated from beta 3) but from the threads it seems that beta 6 and later should be fine. Once Xcode is installed & launched for the first time, you don't need it open every time you use iTunes.
I can confirm that installing and running Xcode 6 GM (after it installed and accepted licenses, etc.) caused iTunes 12 on Yosemite to allow me to recover from DFU mode to upgrade my iPad Air.
Overall the safest bet is to backup to your Mavericks iTunes software and upgrade from there if possible. I didn't try from Windows so can't really say there.
Hi there,
Yes I have that open as well. Still getting error whenever I try and restore.
