Help! Cant restore Ipod Touch 4g.

I have an ipod touch 4g ios 5.1.1, and none of my apps will open. Then when I try to restore it I get error 21. I know how to fix it but my power button is broken so I cant put it into dfu mode. Someone please help!

Also try:
Error 20, 21, 34, 37: These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. If you are using a PC, follow this article to resolve this issue.

Cant Restore Ipod Touch - Unknown Error 1604

Can someone please help. I went to connect my ipod touch to my itunes and it told me that the ipod needed restoring and updating. Updated it and clicked restore - tried to restore it and came up with the message "could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1604)." Any help would be appreciatd.

Ok, I've been trying to fix this for 3 DAYS!!! But, I finally found the answer an hour ago and my Touch is sitting next to me happily syncing away. Rather than let someone else go through the pain I've been experiencing I thought I'd share how I fixed this.
After trying all the various suggestions (re-installing, another PC etc.), this is what I did:
When you get the 1604 error click 'ok' but keep your iPod plugged in
Go to 'Task Manager' and find the 'iTunes' process
Click 'End Process' which will terminate iTunes
(Remember, don't unplug your iPod!!)
Start up iTunes again
iTunes will then recognise the iPod
Click 'Restore' and you should be ok
Some of the other suggestions might also work for you but just thought I'd give you another option.
Good luck, I know how frustrasting this is!!

You can try 2 things:
Restart your iPod by - Holding the Power and Home buttons until you see the Apple logo.
Put your iPod in DFU and restore - Hold the Power and Home until the screen goes black, wait about 2 seconds, release the power button but keep holding the home for 15 seconds, then on iTunes, Restore and Update.

Help! My iPod touch won't let me download any apps. A message keeps coming up saying "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes store. Please enter another Apple ID" I changed my ID to see if that would work but the same message still comes up.

Where are you physically located?
What country's Store are you using?
The two have to be the same and the payment method for your account also has to be associated (billing address, where iTunes gift card was purchased) with that country.
Has the ID(s) worked before for purchases for this country's store?
