HT201210 Problem Unknown Error 1611 IPOD Touch.

I just updated ITunes. When I plugged in my Touch, ITunes informed me I had to update its software. That failed. I now have a dead Touch. Everything I plug it in to Itunes, I get the device needs to complete a restore. I click restore, and I get a non-progressing progress bar and eventually unknown error 1611. I have tried everything I can find on the Apple Support site and everything else. Nothing. Please help.
Thanks
Dave

Configure your security software
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
Common errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Next try on another computer

Error 1611 ipod touch 2g

When i try to restore the ipod touch, it fails to restore and gives me an error 1611. It shows the apple logo and nothing happens. After about 1 minute, i see the connect to itunes. I tried different pc and macs and nothing. I keep getting error 1611.
i was given the ipod touch 2gen that was bought on the apple store. I checked the serial number for the ipod and it still has warranty. Would i need a receipt to get it repaired? Any help would be appreciated.

Error 1611

I have a problem updating the new ipod touch 5th generation

I have a problem updating the new ipod touch 5th generation and I need help:
With each attempt I receive the message:
iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
The iPod only displays a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an iTunes logo.
I receive a "Are you sure..." message with the 2 options, one to Restore and Update and the other to Cancel.
Each time I have selected the Restore and Update button and then moved through the acceptance screens. Then iTunes begins to download the iOS 6.0.1 Software Update, which usually takes about 50 minutes. During the download I will receive messages that an iPod has been found in restore mode.
After the download is complete no update occurs to the iPod and iTunes displays the Device Summary screen showing derive Name as iPod and all other items as n/a.
The iPod was working great without any known issues prior to attempting to update the OS.

Maybe:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

Unknown Error (1611) During 1.1.1 Restore

I've tried to upgrade and restore my iPhone to the new 1.1.1 software 6 times now and I keep getting an unknown error (1611). Has anyone else received this error? I'm traveling abroad and there isn't an Apple Store anywhere near me!
I've been using Safari and Mail through WiFi so much and now the phone is just stuck on the Please Connect to iTunes screen. What do I do? Anyone?

I have found this 1611 problem will not go away until the battery is so weak that the restore will take place. When my iPhone, for no apparent reason, spontaneously goes into recovery mode, it will continue to try and reboot itself until the battery wears down. Then, and only then, will the restoration work. In the meantime I may lose as much as a day or so without my phone and it's information. This is extremely inconvenient. Since purchase in August, I would estimate that I am on my sixth or seventh recovery. My 1611 problems have certainly increased, for whatever reason, since the various iPhone updates. When the 'restore' mode flashes the 'connect to itunes' icon, I try it once, but if it is not successful (it almost never is the first time), I disconnect my iPhone from the computer, and let the battery wear down. Since the iPhone continues to flash alternately the gray Apple logo and the 'connect to iTunes" logo, this drains the battery eventually, which then displays a red 'low battery' icon. I then reconnect it to iTunes, and the restoration works. Only the data from my latest sync will be restored to my iPhone, but I can continue until, for no apparent reason, this 1611 problem surfaces again. I can't understand why this is happening. I am keeping track of my restorations, but I would simply like this problem to go away. When I spoke with an iPhone representative, they seemed never to have heard of this situation. Whatever the reasons, this is frustrating and always inconvenient. I wonder how many are encountering this problem? I will seek a replacement if this happens again.

Hello, I have a problem 4th with my iPod touch

Hello,
I have a problem 4th with my iPod touch
I just wanted to edit a picture, and then he is always crashed.
Hope someone can tell me what to do.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- 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.

Hello jose mariofromsan luis potosi,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are saying that your iOS devices are not showing up in iTunes on your Windows computer, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
On the other hand, if you are saying that your devices are only showing a Connect To iTunes icon screen, then this article may be more useful:

IPod touch 4th gen (restore problem, unknown error 9)

So I was using an app on my iPod touch, but then suddenly the screen froze and turned white. Then it would shut off and get to the apple logo, then slowly fade out to all white and restart. This happened continuously and I couldn't get it to stop when I pressed the home and lock buttons.
I've had this ipod for almost two months now. My last experience with my 3rd generation iPod touch, I had never come across a situation like this.
Somehow I was able to get the screen to show the iTunes logo & the iPod USB pointing at it. I assume this is what you would call going into restore mode? I cannot get out of that screen no matter what I press.
What's more disturbing is that when I inserted the USB cable from my iPod to my laptop, the info I get from iTunes shows "n/a" for the name, capacity, software version, and serial number. I have the latest iTunes installed
I tried to restore it and went through the following steps over and over again, but I keep getting the same response, "The iPod 'iPod' could not be restored because of an unknown error (9)."
- Extracting software
- Verifying iPod restore with Apple
- Preparing iPod for Restore (at this point the iPod turns off and back on for the next step, if I'm not mistaken)
Once a progress bar shows up on my iPod touch screen, a few seconds later the screen turns white (freezes) and a notice from iTunes pops up with the response that I got an error and iPod could not be restored because of unknown error 9.
I've tried this repeatedly so many times already, but I'm getting no luck on how this problem should be solved.
Should I bring this to an Apple store for their help?

Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB 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.

Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
Restore your device while connected to a different network.
Restore using a different computer.
