Failed to restore iPod touch (Error code 9)

Few days after upgarding my iPod touch to iOS 5, I got a message on the iPod saying I need to connect to iTunes.
After connecting to teh iPod to the PC, the iTunes says I need to restore the device.
I tried to restore few times with no success - each time the follwoing message is displayed:
"The iPod could not be restored. An unkown error occured (9)".
How can I restore the iPod back to normal operation ?

Try this, copied from Update and restore error messages on iPhone and iPod touch
Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Can not restore iPod touch -error #1604

So here is the situation:
I have a 32GB iPod 2G and two days ago I tried to upgrade the software to 3.1 and because the backup was taking so long I let it run overnight. Yesterday morning I noticed an error showing (can't remember what it said exactly) saying the update failed.
Ever since my iPod is only telling me to connect it to iTunes which is telling me that I have to restore my iPod but trying so always fails and iTunes tels me that error #1604 occured (all the time!!)
I already tried every last advice I found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275 including using a different PC ,other cables / ports etc.
I would be grateful for any help

I had this exact same problem. I was able to solve it by connecting to one of the USB ports on my Mac instead of using the powered USB hub that I had been using. I notice you say you've tried different ports, have you tried on of the ports directly on your Mac (or PC)?

Only apple logo appears, cannot restore ipod, tried to restore and received error code 1602, what can I do?

I am trying to figure out why I cannot restore my Ipod touch 64, when I get through the whole restore it states "error code 1602". I have used the original cable that came with the Ipod and have tried it on two different computers. When I turn it on only the apple logo appears and nothing else happens. Please help

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 phone is stuck on the Apple logo, you can try a hard reset (deletes no info). Press and hold the power button and Home button until the phone turns off. Then try to power it up again.
Simply restarting your computer will not cause your iPhone to stop working unless there is a major issue with software conflicts on your computer... i.e.... corrupt iTunes installation.
Try disabling any security software you might have and avoid using and USB hubs or extenders etc.
If the hard reset doesn't work in getting your phone to boot up, then you'll have to do a restore of the device.

Been trying to restore Ipod touch for days after updating Itunes. Error code #9. Stuck on restore screen. Tried all the solutions posted. Tried on 2 computers, Vista + XP. No device shown on computer. Thanks Apple! Didn't have this problem before update. How about rolling back your update?

Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Ipod touch error 1604. i need this fixed!!

ok. i have a big problem with my touch
my ipod touch is frozen or broken or something. and this is awful
it won't restore or anything. when i turn it on, it shows the itunes w/ the cable. but when i try to restore it in itunes, theres an error. its like 3 weeks old and i love it. it was jailbroken
please help me!

*Edit: If your iPod remains jailbroken (in it's currently inoperatable state) - then returning/exchanging or refunding the product is going to be tricky. By modifying the software, you broke Apple's Software & End User Agreement's between you and Apple which states modification of software of any kind will result in you voiding your warranty. Now ... normally this wouldn't matter, as restoring would make it look like you hadn't jailbroken, but seen as though you can't do anything with it. Your stuck. :/*
From previous articles and threads on these boards, iPod touch error 1604 suggests faulty hardware.
I wish I could help you further, but Apple do not provide a list of error messages, what they mean, or a resolution on a error-to-error basis.
I would contact Apple support for a solution. Failing that i'd return your iPod for a full refund, and a discount off your next one for the trouble.

Error sending emails to Internet: Failed to connect. Winsock error code: 10051

Our exchange 2013 CU2 (CAS+MBX, Win2012) was sending emails to Internet using another server (a kerio email server) and outbound internet email was working as expected.
We have now removed the Kerio server, I also removed the kerio_Send_Connector I was using to send emails to internet and I also changed the email domain in Exchange to be authoritative. I created a new Internet send connector with default values, but the same
bad behavior is present.
Our Exchange 2013 receives emails internally and externally with no problems. The problems are sending emails to Internet. I am suspecting something in the firewall but i need to do some more research.
If from the same Exchange server I telnet to an Internet email host:25 I do get the smtp banner but as soon as I start typing HELO/EHLO I get disconnected and errors are logged.
Errors when sending emails to any emails address (this is from an email sent to google, all others are the same):
Remote Server at aspmx3.googlemail.com (74.125.136.26) returned '400 4.4.7 Message delayed'
7/1/14 9:52:44 a. m. - Remote Server at aspmx3.googlemail.com (74.125.136.26) returned '441 4.4.1 Error encountered while communicating with primary target IP address: "Failed to connect. Winsock error code: 10051, Win32 error code: 10051." Attempted
failover to alternate host, but that did not succeed. Either there are no alternate hosts, or delivery failed to all alternate hosts. The last endpoint attempted was 74.125.136.26:25'
I cannot find any references from such Winsock error that are related to Exchange 2013.
So far all email is being queued at the Exchange Server 2013. I am afraid to install CU3 and make things worse.
Thanks for your comments.

Just check if the receive connector settings are set to fine
check the send connector properties and see whether it is set to use DNS to route emails through external DNS/Internal DNS or smart host .
Do a telnet to external domain like hotmail,yahoo and see at what transaction you are getting an error
Enable verbose logging, restart the transport service and check if you get the same error in the verbose logs as well
Get in touch with the ISP and see if the port 25 for Outbound SMTP is opened.
YOu can check if SMTP Proxy is enabled in the firewall. If so disable the SMTP proxy in the firewall and check.
Good Luck!!

TS3694 itunes error (-42404) -- Okay, getting a little frustrated (but then again, who isn't a little frustrated?). I recently tried to upgrade iTunes software a few days ago but it failed. What is (-42404) error code mean?

itunes error (-42404) -- Okay, getting a little frustrated (but then again, who isn't a little frustrated?). I recently tried to upgrade iTunes software a few days ago but it failed. What is (-42404) error code mean?
I get the following:
(1) iTunes - The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you? Yes/No
(2) iTunes - The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes if you wish to use these devices. OK
(3) iTunes error message - A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes. (-42404) OK
(4) iTunes error message - We could not complete your iTunes Store request. A required iTunes component is not installed. Please repair or reinstall iTunes. (-42404) There is an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later. OK
Okay, so I decided to uninstall and reinstall. Funny, iTunes can be found in a program folder, but it does not show up in the programs list. I tried to look for it using the command prompt ("wmic" --> "product get name") but iTunes is not there either. Doesn't even show up in the registry to try to uninstall.
I just want to "properly" uninstall and reinstall iTunes (plus the other usual suspects, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour, & Apple Application Support). If anyone out there has any suggestions, please help! (I'm running Windows Vista -- don't judge/laugh) :-)

Okay, feeling like an idiot, but will share so others don't have to. I rebooted my computer and that enabled iTunes to reappear in the programs list. Don't appear to be having the same problems as before (no error messages now). Problem solved!

IPad1 stuck in recovery mode with and ITunes cannot restore with an error code of 11?

I tried to update to IOS 4.3.4 today but now my iPad1 stuck in recovery mode with and ITunes cannot restore with an error code of 11?
(With the old discussion groups it was easy to see where other people had similar problems, these new groups seems clunky in comparison)

OK, fixed it by using SHIFT+RESTORE to load the iPad1,1_4.3.4_8K2_Restore.ipsw file in directly from the
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPad Software Updates
folder.
No idea why the upgrade to 4.3.3 failed in the first place and no idea why iTunes was not clever enough to just do it by itself when it detected that there was a problem in the first place.
