Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
If you get the corrupt error message then go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and select the backup and delete it.
Next
- 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.

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:

Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer

TS1372 i cant restore an ipod classic it shows error 1436

i cant restore an ipod classic it shows error 1436

It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He always covers what the resulting numbers indicate, which may be slightly different since your model is a bit older.

Cant restore 80GB Ipod because I dont have the Internet???

So my wife bought me an 80gb Ipod and shipped it out to me (Im in Iraq). I hooked it up to my computer and it immediately started to work and sync all my music and what not onto it. I believe at the time I was using Itunes version 7.3. Well then I hooked it up to a friends computer and tried putting some music onto it and when I tried to eject it, it was taking forever! His computer was crazy slow so I got tired of waiting and just pulled the usb cord out of the computer. A few days later I tried to use it and all the music and videos were off the ipod but my photos were still on it. I tried to plug it into my computer and now im getting a message saying that itunes cannot read the contents of my ipod and that I need to go into the summary tab and restore it. So I try and restore the ipod but I CANT restore it because I dont have an active internet connection. And I will NOT be able to get an active internet connection to my laptop simply because im in Iraq!
So my question is, is there any other way I can restore the Ipod without the internet?? I downloaded and installed the new version of itunes 7.5 and it still doesnt wanna work or restore. I have no idea what to do.
We tried hooking it up to a friends computer and he said he found and fixed a virus that was on the ipod and then tried to bring it up on his computer. To our luck his computer recognized the ipod and it brought up all my music in his itunes. We tried syncing his library with my ipod, which it did! but when we ejected the Ipod. It still said no music or videos on it. But if you look at the memory space. It shows that it did infact sync his music but its labeled as "other" and not music. I then tried to hook it back up on my computer and it doesnt read it at all! I need help please!

Have you given the following a try?
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/#
Otherwise, I'd say are you positive that iTunes on your computer and on your buddies computer were the same version? Reason I ask is my wife and I just bought iPods last weekend. She got a Nano and I got a Classic. I plugged hers in first. Got the updates and updated iTunes as well. After all that and charging a while I tried mine. Nothing. I can only assume that the almighty OS known as Winblows was confused by the whole thing and thus thought my iPod was already updated to the latest software which I think is 1.0.3. Or something like that. I eventually got mine going but differences in versions is certainly a possibility.
Also, did you buddy have a USB 2.0 connection or 1.1? I noticed my wife's Nano taking much longer to charge than it should have. That's when I realized I had my stupid USB hub plugged into a USB 1.1 port on my computer instead of 2.0. So I'm just assuming this but I would say that could also cause the iPod to go slower. Just more to possibly explain why it was moving slow on your buddies computer.
Look at your iTunes and if you iPod does show up look to see what version of software it has. Could be the culprit. Unless this really does boil down to an internet connection which would be kind of stupid if you know you've got the latest software. iTunes shouldn't force you to do that. Hope I've helped in some way anyway. If not, good luck with this.
And aside from the iPod question, thanks for your service overseas. You guys are all certainly thought of here a lot and are appreciated. Stay safe!

I updated to ios5 and now I cant restore my iPod touch.

I have now lost all my content because for some reason it says that my backup/restore files dont exist anymore. why cant I restore my ipod?

What happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes?
Yes sometimes the backup will be corrupted and if you do not have another backup you will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
You can redownlaod iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I cant restore my ipod touch 2g. First it was error 2005, then 9 and finally it now says error 2009. What can I do?

Please help me. I have to restore my ipod, for it has frozen. Everytime i hit restore a new erroe appears. First it was 2005, then 9 and finally 2009. What can I do?

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.
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.

I need help with Restoring my iPod. =/

Okay, so I put music on my iPod using WinAmp, right? Well, the music was unorganized and the quality was terrible, so I downloaded iTunes and transferred the music to iTunes from WinAmp. I also wanted to restore my iPod so I could re-add the music files to it.
NOW, iTunes tells me that my iPod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. So I restore it, and it STILL tells me it needs to be restored. I swear, I've "restored" this thing like eleven times.
Oh, and to add to the problem, it's suddenly telling me that my iPod has encountered a problem while restoring itself by an "unknown error"
*PLEAE HELP!* I would give you everything I own if I knew you personally, I just want my music. lol

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

Can anyone help me restore my ipod touch 2nd gen?

Hi there. I am trying to update the software on my ipod touch but I keep getting an error code that states I can't restore it. Error code is 1-
Any tips?

Hi. Error code 1- indicates that you are unable to update or restore your iPod. To solve this problem you need to put your device into recovery mode. Before you begin ensure that you have some charge in your device.
You should first disconnect your iPod from your computer and make sure it is turned off. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
When you next open itunes it will notify you that your device is in recovery mode and will ask you to restore it. It should all work after this.
If your still unsure take a look at this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Hope this helps, Ben

Need Help With Restoring My Ipod, Problem seems Unique, please help.

Hi, I have a mini as most of you others do as well. I will outline all the problems and the solutions I have taken to solve these problems, yet they have all failed.
1) When trying to turn my IPOD on I run across the Folder with the Exclamation Point
SOLUTIONS: I have tried to reset, and change the format of the drive, both have failed to solve the problem. When I try to connect the ipod to the computer (in disk mode and out of disk mode) it says The Ipod is corrupt it may need to be restored. So I restore the IPOD and it says Disconnect it and replug it into a power source (which I interpret as the wall charger). After I disconnect it (I have tried just disconnecting it when the menu restarts to the APPLE and disconnecting it by manually selecting the IPOD from the source list to disconnect after waiting) and plugging it into the wall charger I get the folder with the exclamation point again. It seems to be a cycle, and I don't know how to break it. If it is a faulty harddrive I guess I will try to replace it using the method outlined in other posts, but if I'm missing anything please let me know. Thank you.

That's the faulty drive/OS indicator.
If restoring the iPod from iTunes doesn't work, it's likely that the drive has died and needs to be replaced.
It's a fairly easy task with the proper tools.
