Can't Restore iPod - Get Message.............

"There was a problem downloading the iPod software for the iPod “iPod”. The requested resource was not found."
Updated iTunes and get the summary screen in iTunes, but when I click on restore I get the message above. What gives? iPod seems to still have all my songs on it but plays not so well. When first plugged into laptop iTunes advised that iPod was corrupted.

Try assigning your iPod a different drive letter, following the steps here:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive
Also, try connecting your iPod to all of your USB ports, and see if there is any difference.

Can not restore ipod touch. About 167MB of 346,8MB get loaded than download stops, a few minutes later: ERROR 3259! ( High Speed Internet Connection 16000kBits/sec)

Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB 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.

Check your security software

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

HT4946 if my phone is disabled, how can I restore to get rid of a passcode

If my phone is disabled, how can I restore to get rid of a passcode that was entered by mistake.

Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten password:
Restore (and reset password) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password)

Hi
You need to check with your ISP whether or not the send mail server (SMTP) requires a password. Some do, but many do not. When you know the correct password to send mail, then you need to tell Mail as follows:
Mail menu > Preferences > Accounts > Select the account
Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) combo box, and select Edit SMTP Server List...
In the Account Information tab put the server name
In the Advanced Tab, set up the authentication information from your ISP.
Good luck

Hi mtc,
Has it worked before?
Are you running any anti virus apps?
If using a browser to login via WebMail, does that work?

Can't Restore Ipod...error message

I presume I need to restore my 5th gen Ipod as I can't sync it with itunes. However I also can't restore it.
I get a 1418 error message, also had a -50 error message too.
It has worked once since i got it, i synced it with a mates computer. But I can't get it to sync with my new comp at all.
This is very frustrating as i've not been albe to use it at all. Its just a pretty external hard drive at the mo!
I take it formatting it with windows would be a very bad idea?

I HAVE A 20G IPOD THAT IS 1YEAR AND 10 MONTHS OLD. IT WILL NOT RESTORE ANYLONGER AND SHOWS THE SAD IPOD ICON. I WANTED TO SEND IT IN FOR REPAIRS BUT BECAUSE IT IS PAST THE 1 YEAR WARRANTY ALL IPOD WILL DO FOR ME IS SELL ME A REFURBISHED IPOD FOR $271.94. IPOD SHOULD RECALL THE IPODS THAT ARE FREEZING AND SKIPPING SONGS THAT ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO BE RESTORED. I CANNOT FIND ANYONE TO REPAIR MY IPOD OTHER THAN APPLE JUST WANTING ME TO BUY A REFURBISHED ONE THAT COSTS ABOUT $30 LESS THAN THE BRAND NEW ONE I BOUGHT 1YEAR AND 10 MONTHS AGO. I AM VERY DISSAPPOINTED WITH APPLE IPOD AND I WILL NOT BUY THEIR PRODUCTS AGAIN.

Can't restore ipod -48 error message

trying to restore ipod from mar to window XP and get a message.It said,There was a problem downloading the Ipod software for ipod "ipod". An unknown error occurred(-48) Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later. We have tryed to restore is several times and get the same message every time.

I FOUND OUT HOW TO FIX IT:
1) You need to make sure you back up your library so you can maintain your ID3 tags, ratings, and library settings. So follow the instructions located at: http://www.kadavy.net/blog/archive/2005/08/transferyouri.php
2) Uninstall iTunes completely
- After uninstalling, make sure that the following directories are erased:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music\iTunes
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Application Data\Apple
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
C:\Program Files\iTunes
- this will ensure that all the previously installed versions of iPod firmware updates are erased.
3) One other thing that I did, which I don't know if it helped. Was cleared my registry from previous iTunes installations, by
a. clicking start....run
b. typing 'regedit'
c. searching for strings that had "iTunes" in them and removing the ones under the folder "SOFTWARE" and NOT ANY OTHERS.
~be advised that the registry is very crucial to Windows interface and I am not liable for any damage done due to ignorance or neglect during this step
4) Empty Recycling Bin to get rid of everything
5) Re-install the latest versions of iTunes available at www.apple.com
6) Click File-->Import and then selecting your exported Library File (XML)
this will re-import all your settings and album ratings and ID3 tags
7) THEN VAIOLA! This fixed my error -48

Can't restore iPod classic 60GB video. Cannot Allocate Memory - Disk Utility

Sorry if this has been asked before but I've been searching the boards and am yet to find a result.
I have an old iPod classic 60GB (video) which has a dodgy HDD. It was clicking and in a constant sad face/charging loop. I've managed to get it display "Please restore iPod" message and it is now being recognised by my macbook. I've tried to restore it via iTunes but when I try that I get an error message tht says "The iPod could not be restores because it is busy".
I've tried toformat the iPod using Disk Utility too but i get an error:
Disk Erase failed with the error:
POSIX reports: The operation couldn’t be completed. Cannot allocate memory
The oddest thing is that under disk utility my iPod drive is showing up as a 2TB drive:
All I'm realy trying to do is restore the iPod so I can try to recover some of the tracks using Disk Drill. Can anybody help?

See if you can find a window based PC and try to do a Restore there.

Can't restore iPod in Windows XP

Hey everybody,
I just had my iPod replaced and now have a newly restored monochrome iPod c/w in front of me. It came with instructions stating that it had been formatted for Mac, and that I would need to use the updater to get it ready for my PC.
So, despite all the crap I have heard about iTunes 5.0 I downloaded it along with the latest updater. Both installs went fine.
According to the instructions included I was to install the updater, run it, plug in my iPod, then click RESTORE when the software detected the iPod and bolded the RESTORE button.
All this happens just as the instructions say but after I click RESTORE a message appears saying, "Can't lock iPod. Please check if any other applications are using iPod and try again."
Obviously I am not so stupid as to run iTunes when I do this and I don't know what else could be using my iPod...any one know how to get around this?
P.S. The iPod is currently mounted as a removable USB mass storage device in Windows. Could this be part of the problem (is MicroCrap Windows XP Pro using my iPod in the background)?

Not that it matters but after a couple of reboots/unplug-replug sessions I got passed that error and now it just says "Firmware update failure. Disk write error." which seems to be what everyone else is getting with the latest software from Apple...***?!?!?
