This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. in that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

But im not sure if that applies to your problem, you can check it out though.
Have you gotten any of your songs from limewire? I've seen some posts on another website about this error maybe having something to do with songs from limewire.

Could you also take some time to pass some information for the Apple Engineers? Please copy and paste these questions into an email, make the subject of the email "iPod error report", add your answers, and send the email to Roy at Apple.
1. What error code are you seeing?
2. When are you seeing it (restoring or updating your iPod)?
3. Which iPod do you have?
4. What version of Windows do you have?
5. What Windows service pack do you have installed?

Error message when updating Ipod

I recently had to reinstall my operating system, so I also just reinstalled itunes and the ipod software (both with the latest versions from apple). but now, everytime I update my ipod it says "unable to update ipod. unexpected error occurred (-4)". All of the songs actually do update to my ipod, but I keep getting this error message. Does anyone know what it can mean? I have reformed my ipod, reinstalled the software...i've done everything the apple website has suggested, and i've now been working on it for hours. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I take it back....the songs aren't actually updating to the ipod....all the song names appear, but the songs will not play from the ipod. This is extremely frustrating!

Add files to library, but cannot update ipod to put them on there

I do not even have the option to do this since my ipod is constantly stuck on the "do not disconnect screen" when it is plugged in. Also, "file->update ipod" isnt even lit up so I cannot select it to update my ipod. I tried reinstalling the software, resetting, restarting, etc, but nothing. This is the second ipod nano apple sent me, since the first one froze. Could this be a problem? I think the serial number is the same though. Is there anything else I need to reinstall?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Is the iPod showing up in iTunes under Source?
See this...
Transfer Music to Your iPod (Tutorial)
If the iPod is not showing up in iTunes...
iPod missing in "My Computer" or in iTunes for Windows
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
Also, there is no need to send an iPod in for service just because it is frozen.

Error trying to update ipod touch1st gen

Got an error updating my Ipod touch 1st gen, now itunes/pc doens't detect it and it's stuck on connect to itunes screen. I've reinstalled itunes and tried various things suggested on the internet to no avail.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
also try the following since other 1G users have recently reported error 1 when retoring
ERROR (1)
- Place the iPod in DFU mode and then restore
