ERROR 1604 when trying to restore my ipod Touch

Hi all,
I am trying to do a restore on my ipod Touch(32GB)but get the message "Unable to restore...unknown error 1604." Anyone know what this error is? I'm trying to restore and every time it comes up with this error and what is happening is that it is not asking for restore alone it is asking for both Restore and update both at the time of restoring when my ipod is connected to my computer..
Guyz please Help in trouble.
Any thoughts?(I'm using iTunes8.0 on a PC running XP Home.
Thanks for your help!!

Hello CHITDAYA
There is MANY troubleshooting steps that you could attempt to resolve this issue. however there is many, steps to follow in the following link

however I would recommend simply restore on another computer if you can get access to one. to save you a lot of time.

  • I'm getting the apparently "deadly" error 3149 when trying to restore my Ipod Touch 4g

    A few days ago I tried to update my Ipod Touch (4th Generation) to the newest software. I pressed update and the apple logo with a loading bar underneath it appeared then the bar got about halfway and all of the sudden went into recovery mode. I followed some steps online to get it out of recovery mode, didn't work. So then I decided to just restore it. I tried restoring directly from Itunes but Itunes never finished the download (tried 3 times). Each time it gave me a different error. So I downloaded the 0.6.1 firmware online (*though it was a 840mb download and the file only says it's 839mb, weird)and tried using the Shift + Restore method. It extracted it then said "Verifying" then gave me the error 3149. I went online, yet again and followed some steps dealing with the "Hosts" file. No luck. I've also tried putting it in DFU mode, no luck.
    I should also mentioned that my Ipod is Jailbroken. It was given to me like that when I got it for my B-Day. I never use anything with Cidia or whatever so I think Jailbreaking is pretty useless but I think this is worth mentioning because it could be what's causing the problem, but I don't know if it has anything to with it for sure. I've been told that restoring it will get rid of the stupid Jailbreak but I can't restore it now can I?
    Please give me some advice, any advice that I haven't tried already would be helpful. I just want to actually use my Ipod! Why's it so hard to do things?!?
    Also, no idea what operating system it was before the craziness happened. I can't check right now either. :/

    Did you mean 3194

  • HT201210 am getting an ''unknown error (1)'' when trying to restore my iPod touch, what is the solution

    I restored my ipod touch (old version, silver back cover) but after erasing all the memory in it, Itunes showed me an error message ......The Ipod ''Ipod'' could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1)....What is the problem or how can I resolve this error?? please assist!!

    This usually indicates a hardware problem.
    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.

  • TS1538 Why am i getting error 9006 when trying to restore my ipod 5th gen?

    Why am i getting error 9006 when trying to restore my ipod 5th generation?

    Configure your security software
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Common errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.

    Is the iPod jailbroken? Googling shows that error 11 appears if it has been jailbroken.

  • I receive the follwing error message when trying to open my ipod touch/itunes "the itunes libary.itlfile is lockedon  a lockdisk or you do not have write permission on this file. How do I resolve this problem?

    I receive the follwing error message when trying to open my ipod touch/itunes "the itunes libary.itlfile is lockedon  a lockdisk or you do not have write permission on this file. How do I resolve this problem?

    Repair iTunes Security Permissions
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Securitytab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
    If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
    Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.
    If you've brought over the library from another computer you may also want to remove any "mystery" identities (S<string of dashes & digts>) that have come over from the old computer...
    The images above are from Windows 7. Hopefully the system isn't too different in Windows 8.

  • HT1386 I repeatedly receive an error mesage when trying to sync my ipod touch with my new computer, "some of the items in the itunes library, were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized for them on this computer."  My computer is authorized

    I repeatedly receive an error message when trying to sync my ipod touch with my itunes library with my new computer which reads, "Some of the items in the itunes library were not copied to the ipod because you are not authorized on this computer." However when I try and authorize my computer I always receive the message that this computer is authorized. What am I doing wrong?  I'm missing about 100 songs as a result of this error!!

    Could the items be purchased by another account?

  • TS3694 what is the error code 2003 when trying to restore an ipod touch

    Im trying to restore a first generation ipod touch and it keeps coming up error code 2003.  Ineed help to figure out to get the corrected.

    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

  • TA38633 I get error 1601 when trying to restore my ipod HELP!

    i have uninstalled and re installed itunes and mobile device helper help!

    Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
    Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
    Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
    This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • HT201210 I am receiving error code 1645 when trying to restore my ipod touch 4th to factory settings.

    I am running Windows Vista SP2 with iTunes 10.7.0.21. I had my iPod touch (4th) 8g replaced after cracking the screen. My replacement has never worked correctly. I am trying to restore to factory settings but I keep getting this message:

    I figured it out. I disconnected my ipod from my computer and powered it off using the slider. I pressed the home button and connected it again (keeping home button pressed until I saw the connect to itunes icon) It restored and updated.

  • Error 13019 when trying to sync my Ipod Touch 3rd generation

    For the past two days, I have not been able to sync music unto my Ipod. It started when I tried to sync two new albums onto my Ipod, but one album would not sync (the other album did). Every time I tried to sync it, an "unknown error 13019" popped up. I am aware of the steps Apple has on fixing this error, and have tried all of them to no avail. When I removed all of my music from my IPod, then tried to sync all of it back onto it, NONE of my music would go back on! My apps sync fine, my actual IPod seems to be working fine...it just does not have any music on it. After around 8 or 9 times of attempting to sync it, reinstalling Itunes, etc., I am ready to throw both my IPod and my laptop across the room. Is there anything else I can try? Thanks in advance!

    I'm with ya. I'm having the same problems and have tried the same solutions. Now I'm using the itouch as a paper weight. Works so-so kinda like what I have been dealing with the past month or so with this error issue. What I have learned to do in the past is to noit update to the new software because with the older ipods, itouches it does not seem to support the new updates very well. I'm sure this doesn't help but I share your frustrations in this matter. At least my iphone works. Oh, I better go check it just in case that crashed on me as well. Not in a good mood right now. Someone on this site has the answer and I'm sure I'm missing something really simple. Just shedding a little ray of hope.
