Cant resore ipod touch

A friend brought me his ipod touch, I think its a 2g. He forgot the his passcode and is locked out. I put it into recovery mode and and went about restoring it like normal. Everything goes as planned until after I click to restore it says "ipod cannot be restored at this time because the ipod software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable" with no error codes. I have been trying all night to get this to go through but no luck. Any other solutions?

Check your firewall settings: System Settings > Security > Firewall. Try turning it off and then download the update.

    My Ipod touch 4th gen froze, I reset it and now i cant turn it on or restore it

    If not successful try the remaining items of:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Cant access IPod touch

    I have never seen this before but when i try to access my ipod touch i press the home button which brings up the slide to unlock screen, when i slide this I get a voice saying "slide to unlock" this gives me the passcode screen again with a spoken description. However, when i try to input the passcode it just speaks the digits to me but me nothing happens. I am now having to restore the Ipod but would like to know whats caused this to happen.

    Thanks for your help, i have just done this and it works fine now.  Just for future reference how was this voice over applied? as i didint do anything. i was listening to music at the time and when my screen locked and I tried to get back into it I encountered the problem.
    thanks again for your help

  • Cant Restore Ipod Touch - Unknown Error 1604

    Can someone please help. I went to connect my ipod touch to my itunes and it told me that the ipod needed restoring and updating. Updated it and clicked restore - tried to restore it and came up with the message "could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1604)." Any help would be appreciatd.

    Ok, I've been trying to fix this for 3 DAYS!!! But, I finally found the answer an hour ago and my Touch is sitting next to me happily syncing away. Rather than let someone else go through the pain I've been experiencing I thought I'd share how I fixed this.
    After trying all the various suggestions (re-installing, another PC etc.), this is what I did:
    When you get the 1604 error click 'ok' but keep your iPod plugged in
    Go to 'Task Manager' and find the 'iTunes' process
    Click 'End Process' which will terminate iTunes
    (Remember, don't unplug your iPod!!)
    Start up iTunes again
    iTunes will then recognise the iPod
    Click 'Restore' and you should be ok
    Some of the other suggestions might also work for you but just thought I'd give you another option.
    Good luck, I know how frustrasting this is!!
