I have an error....The iPod 'iPod' could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (2003).
Please can someone help?

Maybe this:
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.

    Mt computer has been freezing up on me lately and I think it messed up my Ipod when it quit right in the middle of downloading and got shut off.

    That's because you jailbroke your phone. You can't get help here.

    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, 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.

  • "The iPod could not be restored.An unknown error has occurred (1418)" Help!

    Hope someone can please help me.
    iTunes is asking me to restore my iPod, but an error occurs each time. This is the chain of events.
    1) I connected my iPod to iTunes and it asked if I wanted to update iPod software. I clicked yes.
    2) The iPod then changed from a colour screen to a monochrome screen.
    3) I then had problems with my USB Connection/Driver which I have now resolved.
    4) My iPod asked me to connect to iTunes and restore.
    5) I connect to iTunes and the following message appears
    "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes" So I clicked the restore button.
    6) The restore progresses until the following message appears
    "The iPod 'iPod' could not be restored. An unknown error has occurred. (1418).
    Basically I have read everything I could get my hands on to try and solve but nothing seems to work.
    Really looking forward to some solution.
    Cheers.

    After you perform each step, try to restore your device.
    Restart your computer.
    Disconnect all your USB devices from your computer and connect to another USB port.
    Use a different USB cable.
    Uninstall third-party security software.
    Try restoring using an alternate computer.

  • The iPod 'iPod' could not be restored.An unknown error occured(9).

    I got my iPTouch 16 GB on Oct.13 and on hooking to XP SP2 PC got it on the iTunes ver 7.4.3.1, was able to download music after charging. iTunes showed that a new software ver 1.1.1 for iPTouch was available(of150MB).Got it downloaded to iTunes but when it started to download to iPTouch, it failed and asked to do resotre. All this happened in just few hours of getting it.
    Since then, even after reinstalling the iTunes, my iPTouch is not going beyond showing the icon of a plug and a CD.Every time iTune is able to detect the iPTouch saying that it has detected an iPod in recovery mode, you must restore it. And on doing so that error of 'The iPod 'iPod' could not be restored.An unknown error occured(9).' comes up and it again asks to restore.
    Though every time iTunes is able to detect an iPTouch, my XP does not show it in 'my computer' as any hooked device or drive.
    May I request Apple and other members on this forum to help me out. It is clearly a software problem.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Thanks to all members for sharing in. In my case finally, I got a brand new replacement from Apple through their Authorised Service Provider,A-1 Infotech, Mumbai. Since in India, Apple does not have a widespread presence,the service and support I got was amazing.
    In my case though I never came to know whether the problem was of software or hardware, but the simultaneous step I had taken was to call the toll free number of Apple in India and got my problem registered. Since the iPod Touch was under warranty, I got it replaced without much hassels. I advise the same path for other users and if possible get the additional Apple Care Protection Plan for additional one more year.
    Though I have yet to find out how to avail that Protection Plan in India.
    Best wishes,

  • "The iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred. Error 1603" Help!

    So I had recently jail broken my iPod(2G, 8MG), which was stupid of me and I regret it, but I kept having issues with it so I manually erased everything off my device from the settings straight on my iPod, then my iPod refused to go passed the apple logo when it restarted.
    I have updated my iTunes, I have put my iPod in DFU mode multiple times and have tried restoring it and it doesn't work, then I press "shift" (I work on a Windows) and then click restore and my downloads file comes down and I click on the firmware I downloaded which is 4.2.1 I believe. It starts to restore, then after around 5 minutes I get the error message "The iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occured. Error 1603."
    I'd love for some help, I'm starting to get frustrated and I do not have the money to buy a new iPod.

    Yu said: Jailbroken
    Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.
    Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

    I finally disconnected the new Kodak 5500 printer from the USB port and my iPod is now working. After working on this problem intermittantly for a few weeks I finally decided to try that fix as the problem seemed to arise when I installed the new printer and hooked it up to the last of the 4 USB ports at the back of the machine.I guess I will have to disconnect the printer whenever I want to update the iPod. I still have some other fixes to try from the apple site but at least I've found a work-around.

  • "The iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1436)."

    My 3rd gen. iPod Nano was down because I accidentally disconnected the iPod from the PC without using the "removing the hardware safely" function.
    So, I reset the Nano then replug the it to the PC. When I was trying to restore the Nano as the iTunes required, it says *"The iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1436)."*
    So, I also re-format my Nano and also reinstall the iTunes to the latest 7.7 version. Also restarted my PC several times. But the same message still appears when I tried to restore the Nano.
    Could anyone please help me get out of this problem?!?! I want my iPod fixed so bad. Thanks~

    I'm in the same boat. Tonight, i disconnected my ipod nano from the pc without ejecting it. And Now my Ipod screen just has the connected symbol on the screen all the time. I can't turn it off or access any of my music!
    I've also re-installed iTunes, but it didn't make any difference. iTunes doesn't recognise my Ipod when it's connected to the computer.
    I've only had it 2 days! God i don't know what to do! I think i'll have to pay for online support or repair. I hope it's not too expensive!
    Sorry i can't help you. But i just needed to vent to someone. I'll keep you posted if i manage to get my ipod working again!

  • 'The "ipod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1604)

    My 2nd GEn Ipod has been bricked by the v3 update.
    I cannot restore it, after a long wait 'preparing ipod for restore' it says:
    'The "ipod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1604)'
    I have latest itunes, have restarted pc and tried alternative usb ports.
    Any suggestions?
    Is there a telephone number for apple support?

    I have the same problem as Bikeman and resolved it by using another computer. When we installed itunes on this pc it prompted us that the touch needed to be restored which we did and wiped it clean.
    We went back to the original PC and it prompted us to update. It trashed it again. So we restored it as above. We synced it without updating the software and all is ok. We now have a touch on the old version of firmware and am £2.99 worse off. This is rubbish and the support is even worse, but then they have our money so what do you expect?. Anyone got any ideas how we can install the firmware or get our money back?
    The only suggestion to you Bikeman would be to try uninstalling Itunes and reinstalling it. Connect your touch and hopefully it will ask you to restore. My only concern would be do you lose your apps and music you have bought on PC. I am new to this apple rubbish.

    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
