Help! error (-48) when i try to "restore & update" my ipod

i have a first generation I-Pod Nano and about three weeks ago, i plugged it in to my computer to sync it. When i thought it was done, all of the music that was on my nano was gone. It's still on Itunes, and now when i connect my nano, it says i need to restore it. I try restoring and updating it. But 1. it's already up to date. 2. it looks like it's downloading the "supposed" update but when it is done, a dialogue box pops up saying that there was an error in updating my ipod. Error (-48). i've tried everything that the support said to try and nothing. Frankly, im getting irritated. So please, if this has ever happened to you and you know how to fix it, please let me know. I would appreciate any help!
Thanks!

Actually ignore my previous post, i just found out how to fix it!
It's basically because when you connect your iPod, the apple software is expecting your iPod to be mapped on a certain drive. Because I'd got mapped a network drive to the drive it was expecting (F:/) it kept giving me this problem where it kept saying i had to restore. Once I removed my network drive mapping from the F:/ drive however, my iPod worked fine when I reconnected.
There's a better/lengthier explanation in the 'recovery mode?' topic here:

I am getting an error 36 when I try to restore my iphoto library from my time machine. Can someone please advise on how I should resolve this? I have tried repairing permissions in the iPhoto library and that didn't help. I've also tried using different versions of the iPhoto library from the time machine. That resulted in the error as well.

You can ask Time Machine queries on the firm for whatever version of the OS you have:

I keep getting error 1603 when I try to restore my iPod why?

I keep getting error 1603 when I try to restore my iPod why?

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. 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 the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device 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.
Error 1603
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.

Try to Restore on different computer with current iTunes. If still problem after Restore, then make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution.

HT201413 I get error 20 when I try to download updates to installed Apple software I have two users on the IMac. I resolve the problem by clearing all cookies on both users Safari. Why do I need to do this? What is going on?

I get Error 20 when I try to download updates for installed Apple apps on my IMac. I have two users on the IMac, and I resolve the problem by clearing all cookies on both users Safari, opening and closing the App Store for each user, shutting down and restarting the IMac for each user, until finally the download works. There must be an easier way. I also have an Air, where I have no problems whatsoever. Both machines have Doorstop and MacKeeper with the same settings, so I have ruled those programs out as the cause. I believe iot is because I have two users - any ideas?

Please read this whole message and be sure you understand all of it before doing anything. Back up all data before making changes to your settings.
Write down the server addresses.
Click Cancel to close the Advanced sheet. Unlock the preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Open the DNS tab again and change the server addresses to the following:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
Notes:
1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself.
2. I’m not advocating Google or anything else as a DNS provider; the server addresses are offerred merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

What does this error message when I try to do updates mean? And how can I fix it? Thanks. The operation couldn't be completed. (NSURLErrorDomain error -1012.)

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I get an error 9 when I try to restore my iPhone 4s

The title pretty much sums it up, but a little background.
While reading a kindle book my 4s shut itself off. It then started, went to the apple screen, cut to white screen, and shut off again. It repeated this in an unending loop.
Since I had not backed up my Iphone since January, I was frantic, because I had over 650 pictures on there. Anyway, I tried charging it and after a while it started working again. Miracle of Miracles! So I instantly uploaded all the pictures onto my laptop, but was unable to back the phone up again. But it was late and I figured I'd try it again later.
The next day, during normal activities such as reading a book, playing a game, or even swiping on the home screen, the phone would randomly cut off, restart, and then be fine.
Finally it cut off again, and went into the dreaded cycle.
Even though I hadn't backed it up fully, I decided to try to restore it. It was the only option I could think of. (I've already ordered a new phone, but it won't be here for 2 weeks, so I'm trying to fix this one temporarily to avoid getting a trac-phone.)
Initially I got a high numbered error message when I tried to restore the phone. So I updated my computers OS and Itunes. Then I tried again.
Now I"m getting an Error 9 message. After looking up the troubleshooting for that message, I don't know what to do. I don't have any periphials on my computer: just the power cable and the usb connected to the phone.
Does anyone have any ideas, or am I just the last guy holding the bag and out of luck here?
TL:DR?
I have to restore my 4S and I'm getting an Error 9 when I try. Nothing extra is attached to my computer, and the OS and Ituns is up to date.
Thank you all in advanced!

I keep getting ERROR's when i try to restore ??? help!

Whenever i try to restore i get error, and i keep getting them.
i have the latest itunes.
And my iphone is stuck in recovery mode, i cant use it
please help.

Use a smaller, more realistic font... the current posting comes across as screaming.
Help yourself, google the EXACT error message or post it here.
No one can offer help without specific details of the issue.... well beyond, throw the darn thing at a wall. That would certainly eliminate the current problem.
