Error (14) and (9) during iPod Touch Restore process

I am getting the following error when trying to restore my iPod Touch in iTunes:
"The iPod, "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (14)."  Sometimes I also get error code (9) as well.
I have the latest version of iTunes and have tried 2 different cables and 2 different computers.
All security software is up-to-date.
This all started a few days ago when my iPod would just freeze, then the main light would flash and it would shut itself off.
I then tried to do the restore process within iTunes.
Now, whenever I connect my iPod, I get the following message:
iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
When I click 'OK", I will get the option to "Restore".  I then begin the restore process.
First it says:  Extracting Software
Then it says: Preparing iPod for Restore
Then it says: Verifying iPod restore with Apple
Then it says: Waiting for iPod
Then it says: Preparing iPod software for restore...
Then the iPod flashes and resets itself and I get one of the two error codes (9 or 14).
There are lots of articles up here with the same issue but no resolution...has anyone ever found one?
Help!!!

    - Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • How can I fix error 14 in my iPod Touch restore?

    When I try to restore and update my iPod Touch, appears Error 14 in my iTunes interface. How can I fix that error?

    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

    Error 11 is a strange one...if you search the discussions for error 11 you will get a number of hits but none with a real resolution other than getting the iPod to restore, which you have done.  And one person indicates this does not appear in the support data base...already found that out.
    If you have restored, have a backup and can restore from that, you might try the update again, or wait for the next update whenever that comes out. 
    Not a very satisfactory answer but if it is working again...

  • On my ipad 2 I can't "see" the hundreds of spoken audio tracks that are in my itunes and on my ipod touch. Is there something I didn't do during sync up?

    On my ipad 2 I can't "see" the hundreds of spoken audio tracks that are in my itunes and on my ipod touch. Is there something I didn't do during sync up? The tracks are from voice recordings that were downloaded from an extrernal drive and weren't necessarily tagged as spoken audio. Do I need to go back into itunes and relabel these tracks so they will show up on my ipad2?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    With the iPad connected to the computer, while iTunes is running, click on the iPad name on the left side under devices. Click on the Movies tab and look for Movie Rentals. You want to "Move" the films to the iPad.

  • I have just purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor to use on an iPad mini and a gen5 iPod touch both devices are running iOS 8.1.3 and come up with The error message "this accessory is not supported by this device "

    I have just purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor to use on an iPad mini and a gen5 iPod touch both devices are running iOS 8.1.3 and come up with The error message "this accessory is not supported by this device "
    THis is means they are not charging on a 30 pin cable and the touch won't work in my Apple iPod dock - no audio out or charge. Have re powered both devices to no avail am wondering if the iOS version is the problem
    Help!

    If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
    This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
    Is this what you bought?
    You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

    Google translate:
    accidentally delete a note from my ipod touch and do not know how to recover deleted those notes
    If you synced the iPod before yu deleted the note the not should be in the backup that is make when you sync.  Just restore from backup.  Make sure that you turn off autosyncing or when you connect the iPod to the computer the old backup will beoverwritten with the onethat does not have the note.  To turn it off, go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and  check the box that says "Prevent iPods...syncing".
    lLso, if you have Notes turned on in Settings>Mail>a mail account, the nots will also appear in emails inthat email account.
