My Ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode. I keep getting Error 9 and I have done everything they asked but nothibng helps.

Help I think when I went to restore my ipod touch the date was wornign on the ipod and not it is stuck in recovery moder and I keep getting Error 9. I have tried everything but nothing works can someone help me?

Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software."- it's taken from the Apple support web.

  • Ipod Touch 2g stuck in recovery mode after restore, no error msgs

    Help, please.  I have an Ipod Touch 2generation that was my older sons and I wanted to restore it to factory to give to his younger brother.  I get the message that is was restored successfully (Windows 7, no error messages or codes from Itunes) but when that message goes away and the ipod shows back up in itunes is still says its in recovery mode.  I've tried different usb cables, different usb ports, turning off my anti-virus firewall protection, using a different pc (Windows Vista) and still the same thing.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Try placing the iPod in DFU mode and then restoring it:

  • My iPod touch is stuck in recovery mode and won't restore?

    Okay my Ipod Touch is stuck in recovery mode and will not restore because "the ipod software update server cannot be contacted". I have tried to restart my computer, restart my ipod, tried different computers, and re-intalled AND updated my itunes and it still will not restore. It is stuck on the picture of the usb cable pointing to itunes and won't do anything else. I'm trying to restore it because my memory was full and I wanted to clean it out and now the ipod is useless, please help me restore it!

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • IPod touch 4G stuck in recovery mode- it won't even go into DFU

    When I accidentally disconnected my iPod touch 4G during an update yesterday, it automatically went into recovery mode (the screen with the USB cable pointing up towards an iTunes logo). Now it won't turn off, it is recognised by neither my laptop nor by iTunes, it won't even go into DFU, so there's absolutely no way, as far as I can tell, to fix it. I've looked all over the internet, and the only other person I can find who has experienced a similar problem hasn't received an answer in about a year.

  • My iPod touch is stuck in recovery mode, help?

    A few hours ago, I tried updating my 5th generation iPod touch to iOS 8. It ran into an error and couldn't update, which left my iPod touch stuck in recovery mode with a screen showing a USB cord pointing to an iTunes symbol. I tried searching for ways to get my iPod out of recovery mode without restoring it to its factory settings, but after a couple hours of seeking, I decided I might as well just restore it. I clicked the restore button, and when it finished, it said that my iPod touch couldn't be restored either. Now, I have no clue what to do. May I have some help?

    That error is covered here:
    Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build" - Apple Support
    If iTunes can’t communicate with the update server, you may see one of these messages.

  • IPod touch 5g stuck in recovery mode.

    Hi.
    I tried to update the software on my ipod touch 5g, for some reason the connection was lost between the ipod and the PC midway through installing the software on the ipod, now im stuck in recovery mode.
    I keep losing connection between ipod and pc since trying to update the software. Basically the connection is lost then comes straight back.
    My ipod shows the lead with an arrow pointing towards the itunes logo.
    Itunes tells me that im in recovery mode and gives me an option to restore.
    Whenever I have tried to restore it downloads the latest software then nothing happens, just stays in restore mode.
    I have tried putting it into DFU mode but nothing appears to happen after following the steps.
    Really annoying as the next available appointment at the Apple store is on Monday and would like to get it fixed a lot sooner than that if poosible.
    Many Thanks

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    Try another cable
    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    I was updating my ipod touch 3rd generation (ios 4.3, i think) and I saw a wasp and left the computer on in the middle of the updating process and now the ipod is stuck in recovery mode and it says the only way to get it out is to recover it, but that will erase everything!!! HELP ME!!! until i get an answer      I HATE YOU, APPLE URGG
    operating system: whatever the latest available to itouch is.

    Without knowing what the error message said all I can suggest is:

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

  • My ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode I tried RecBoot and the reiBoot  both fail to get me out of recovery  I get error 28 instad  now what?

    My ipod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB is stuck in recovery mode   I tried RecBoot and when that couldn't do it I tried reiBoot  both failed to fix my problem  what do you suggest?

    Start off with some basic steps:
    - Make sure iTunes is up to date
    - Try another usb cable
    - Try another usb port
    In the article Resolve iOS update and restore errors this is what it says about error 28:
    Check for hardware issues
    Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
    These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
    Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • Ipod touch 2G stuck in recovery mode

    I was given an Ipod touch 2g (not sure if it is an MC model or not) with 16 gig.  The device won't show a picture on the screen, but when I connect it to the pc, it is recgonized and the apple mobile device driver is installed.  Itunes shows ipod in recovery mode and click to restore.  I attempted to restore, downloaded the update from apple, and when it tries to restore or update the software, the screen turns white and then I get an error 21.  I attempted this on several different computers with no luck.  I have tried reinstalling itunes, holding down the power/home keys as described, turning off all of the security/firewalls, and still no success.  I was desparate and tried using redsnow to load the software with and without cydia and I actually had a glimpse of hope in that the screen came to life showing an image with loading jailbreak data, then it started the I think it's called verbose booting showing the programming lines, and I noticed it was reporting errors such as watchdog timeout and nand format mismatch.  I ran a diagnostic test through itunes and itunes reported that there was no ipod detected when it was plugged up wanting to restore it, totally contradicting itself.  Can anyone help me bring this thing back to life?  I know it must have some signs of life, for there is music that showed up in the library that was not on my pc before plugging up my itunes.  Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

    Go download RecBoot, kick it in recovery mode and install the firmware manually. You can download it here.

    When you get done upgrading and for some reason you get and error or are stuck in recovery mode, use RB to get out of it. It might still work fine at that point.
