    I am trying to restore software on my iPad which is connected to my PC with iTunes when i'm in recovery mode a warning comes up
    "The iPad could not be restored an unknown error occurred (1604) This i have discovered probably a USB timing problem ?
    I have followed all suggestions  but still my iPad screen is locked with a iTunes logo and a USB cable beneath it, wish I had never bothered
    to update it now. Any help would be appreciated. rg

    When I restart my iPad the connect to iTunes comes up and stays on until it shuts down again, I have read a report from Apple support suggesting I reinstall iTunes so I might try that again and also your suggestion which i shall also try, but thanks again - rg1547

    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 '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 iphone could not be restored. an unknown error occurred (1015).

    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.

  • HT201210 The iPad could not be restored - An unknown error occures (-1)

    Attempting to upate to iOS6 - update failed - messsage received was to restore the iPad - this process went as far as "restoring iPad firmware where it stopped and resulted in the message - "The iPad could not be restored - An unknown error occures (-1)" Went through all the recommended trouble shooting steops but the problem repeats each time.

    Well, I did not think much about Hardware Error (1) becuase it had never happened to me.  Well, over the weekend, I decided to upgrade my iPad 2 32gb Wifi-CDMA to iOS 7.0.6.  I first attempted this OTA, not just once, but several times.  The device would download the software, began the process, reboot and began to apply the update.  It would reach about 60 percent and fail.  After the failure, the iPad would recover and reload the current 7.0.4 iOS.  It would then inform me I had an update.  Each time, I would try to apply the update OTA.  Each time, it would fail.  So, I tried to  complete the update via iTunes.  Well, each time, the process would get to 60 percent and fail.  iTunes would produce an error 3014 or error 1.  Looking through the logs, the problem would fail loading the firmware, and more specifcally, isolated to the modem.  I eventually tried so many times, I bricked my iPad.  I had it in recorvery mode and could not get out of it.  I read through all of the forums and the stories about driving to Apple stores, visiting the Genius Bars, calling Apple Support etc.  They all resulted in the samething, a hardware error of some kind.  Since I have taken hundreds of these iPads apart and repaired them, I figured that this one would get a new set of batteries and a logic board.  But before I decided I would do that, I tried to update and restore using several different cables, tried a desktop computer, two windows laptops, and a macbook pro and a macbook air, of course all with the same result.  So, knowing that iPads are built case down and that all of the connectors are either vertical or horizontal and that most of the horizontal connections are ribbons, I decided to try reseating all of the vertical connectors.  Know, before you read on, I would like to add a disclaimer to not try this at home or even try it at all, but I will tell you, it worked. 
    I took the iPad and dropped it on floor 5 times.  I left the iPad in it's case and droped it on a very tight nap throw rug on top of a hardwood floor.  I dropped it from an elevation of about 3 to 4 feet.  I was hoping that the shock would compress all of the vertical connectors and give everything else a bump too. 
    Nothing broke, especially not the display or digitizer.  Once I picked up the iPad, I connected it directly to a computer, went to iTunes and clicked on the upgrade and restore option.  The iPad loaded 7.0.6 without any issue.  The iPad is running great and I have not had a problem out of it at all.
    I do not recommend you do this to your iPad, but reseating all of the vertical connectors worked for me and I recovered an iPad that would have otherwise been bricked until it was disassembled and repaired.

    How do i get my ipod touch out of recovery mode......keep getting error message saying ipod could not be restored an unknown error occurred.
    Been trying all night to sort out but just going around in circles

    I have not seen a solution for that error but try:
    - Place the iPod in DFU mode and then restore
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

    Instructions to get the phone back working temporary.. till there is a real fix.
    1. turn off the phone
    2. fire up iTunes
    3. press and hold the home button, plug in the cable, hold till you get to see the recovery mode
    4. iTunes will the allow to choose restore the phone back to 5.0.1 ( no other choice)
    5. iTunes will then ask you to choose which previous backup to would like to recover.
    (note: please do not reboot your phone unless necessary, i realize at times after reboot, it goes back to sq1)

    Are you using a valid Apple charger that came with the iPad?
    Attempting to use a computer USB port, an incompatible charger, or attempting to charge via a wall socket that only receives power from a wall switch — can all lead to a low, or depleted battery condition. Has this iPad been wet, or dropped?
    Verify all of the above, and correct. If the iPad still cannot hold a charge, consider taking to an Apple Store, or authorized service provider to evaluate it.

    From the article the question was posted from:
    Errors related to third-party security software
    Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 1000, 9006            
    Follow the steps to troubleshoot 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. An incorrectly set default packet size 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 phobos.apple.com isn't 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 under "Advanced 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.
