Could Not Be Restored - Can't Unmount?!
So I was listening to my iPod like normal today, then all of a sudden, it freezes up. I reset it, and I get only the Apple icon. Can't get past it.
I am able to put it in disk mode.
When I hook it up to my MBP, iTunes doesn't find it. If I hook it up in disk mode, it shows up in Finder.
If I hold the two top buttons and put it in restore mode, iTunes appears to start restoring, but I consistently run into this error:
"The iPod could not be restored because it could not be unmounted."
Really annoyed. I'm at 14 months with this thing... OF COURSE. Any ideas?
My iPod Classic 160gb is only 9 months old. Suddenly, it will not synch. I am getting several error messages like...cannot save to corrupt file: "\iPod_Control\iPodDB"and "iPod_Control\xxx corrupt...run CHDSK". It tries to synch, starts to synch; then freezes up. It will not 'eject'. When I disconnect it, there are no songs, pix or videos...all is gone. Looks like I may be screwed.
What are my options?

My iPad 2 will not restore using iTunes. It just quit a week or two ago and showed that I had to connect to iTunes.
When I do the "restore and update" it does not complete the "verifying iPad restore with Apple" and then shows the following message:
The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (40).
I have tried it a number of times. Also turned of anti-virus and firewall. Tried on different computers. All resulted in the same message. The iPad is only 2 1/2 years old, so I hope it can be fixed.
Does anyone have a solution?

While upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS 4.2 something went wrong and came up with the message "The iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred [1015]." Now it will not start at all. It just stays on screen with USB and the iTune picture. What can I do to get it going again. I only tried to upgrade because I was prompted to up-grade and now I am helpless. I did a backup before starting the upgrade. The error message did not tell what to do next. Any help is very much appreciated.
Usually that means the iPhone was hacked to unlock it from the original
carrier .
Updating the operating system locks it back to that original carrier
You could try this

However if the iPhone was hacked it is probably a paper weight now
and as this is an Apple hosted forum you can get no further help here -

Hi i'm trying to restore my iPod classic and it says that the iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1434) what can i do to fix this? Thanks
Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

I was updating my iPhone 3GS, left it overnight and woke up to find that there was an error and my IPhone could not be restored. What can I do to make my phone work again? Have I lost all the data?
If your phone is in recovery mode, all data are gone. Connect the phone to iTunes on your computer and restore.
