Open iTunes and Connect the iPod to your Mac
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time
After 10 Seconds release the Sleep/Wake Button until iTunes tells you it has Detected an iPod in Recovery Mode...
The Phone Screen will remain Black... Now Restore.

Hey i HAVE/HAD the same problem but right in THIS moment i solved it! And i'm gonna tell you how:
1) You have to uninstall ALL the programs that are from Apple.
2) Go into control panel if you are on a windows and delete everything that says Author (Apple inc.)
3) Here is a list of every thing you have to Uninstall:
Apple application support
Apple mobile device support
Apple software update
Bonjour
iTunes

Hey beaches37,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPhone 5s. You mentioned you received an error when attempting to restore. If you remember this error, the following article may help to resolve it:

Furthermore, you may want to try restoring your iPhone in recovery-mode:

Error 6 when trying to restore. Phone is stuck in restore mode
I have an iphone in front of me which is stuck in restore mode. I plug it into iTunes, choose restore, choose a firmware (3.1.2) and begin the restore process. I get the following message:
The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (6).
If I press more info, the console appears, and the last 2 lines show the following:
Restore failed (result = 6)
iTunes[24792:207]: iTunes: Restore error 6
I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.2, iTunes 9.0.3. I've tried using a different user account - no luck. I also tried pointing gs.apple.com to 74.208.10.249 in /etc/hosts thinking maybe it was an activation problem - no luck.
Hoping someone can help - otherwise I've got a very expensive paperweight!
MattFirst delete all .ipsw files on your computer. In OSX they are located here:
~/Library/Application Support/iTunes/iPod/iphone Firmware
If you have your firewall turned on, disable it. Then see if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Also, any reason why you have not updated to 10.6.2? You might try updating to 10.6.2 FIRST & also make sure itunes is up to date, version 9.0.3. -
My phone is stuck in recovery mode. Are my photos and videos that weren't downloaded lost?
I've been lazy about updating my phone. I plugged it into my computer tonight, the prompt came up and I absentmindedly clicked OK, you get the picture. It claims the update failed and now my phone is stuck in recovery mode. I can't believe I didn't back up my phone before I did this - I just wasn't thinking. Have I lost all my videos and pictures?
They should have been part of the backup. If you have already restored from the backup and they are not present on the phone, then they are gone. If you have not yet attempted to restore, just restore already... you don't have any other choice. Debating whether something will be there or not is pointless. It will, or it won't. discussing it won't change that.

Dear all,
I have had problems with the internet connection with my IPhone 5. I have tried to restore the software to see if that would make a difference.
I have tried now for at least 10 times to restore the software. The phone is locked now in restore mode, and when I get to the end of the restore to verify with the server, i get a consistent unknown error message. Sometimes is says my phone cannot be found.
The phone has the connect to Itunes on the screen and cannot be used.
I am running out of patience now....need urgent help!!
What to do?Contact Apple support for warranty service.

IOS 6 is not downloading past the firmware update. Now phone is stuck in restore mode
Any help at all would be great
Disconnect your iPhone
Hold down the Home and Power button until it shuts off if necessary
Hold down the Home button for 20 seconds
Connect it to your computer after 20 seconds but continue to hold down the Home button
Wait for iTunes to show up and acknowledge you are in recovery mode

My phone is stuck in restore mode and I need help asap!
My phone was running slow so I turned it off. When I turned it off and tried to turn it back on it had the little connect to itunes symbol so I went and plugges it in. As soon as I did it said that it couldnt connect to itunes server so i got on here and went and updated my stuff and everything and then tried it again. It kept saying there was an error (-23). I have no idea what to do because I got it to where it would start to update and it would stop after about 30 minutes to an hour saying that an unknown error had occured. Help anyone?

When I havent got my ipad connected to a power supply I get an image on my ipad of the usb cable with an arrow pointing to a itunes icon and no matter what you try and do iyt stays on that for a few seconds and then switches off the ipad, connecting it through usb into itunes on my PC (XP) this image says on the screen but I get a message on itunes saying itunes has detected an ipad in recovery mode and mneeds to be restored - when I fire off the restore through itunes after a few minutes it comes back and says it cannot restore and give an error message 1603. I have also repeated the process through my wife's laptop (Vista) and get the same situation -it is an 32GB Ipad 3 purchased last November - any ideas ?
Try and turn off iPad/iPod and proceed to step 3 of Recovery Mode.
Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times. -
