My iPod touch is stuck in recovery mode and won't restore?

Okay my Ipod Touch is stuck in recovery mode and will not restore because "the ipod software update server cannot be contacted". I have tried to restart my computer, restart my ipod, tried different computers, and re-intalled AND updated my itunes and it still will not restore. It is stuck on the picture of the usb cable pointing to itunes and won't do anything else. I'm trying to restore it because my memory was full and I wanted to clean it out and now the ipod is useless, please help me restore it!

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

My iPhone 3 is stuck in recovery mode and won't restore

My iPhone 3g is stuck in recovery mode and when I try to restore it in Itunes it gives me error 1015. How can I fix this??!?!?!?!?!

Your phone is jailbroken. We can offer you no help here. You forfeited that when you jailbroke you phone.

Ipod stuck in recovery mode and won't restore. says it can't connect to the network.

My son tried to jailbreak his ipod touch like an idiot and of course it did not work. Now his ipod is stuck in recovery mode and I can't get it to restore. I get a message that says:the ipod software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later. I have internet access and everything is working but itunes can't connect to it. Why? I have been having issues with itunes for a couple weeks now. I can't connect to the store and redeem itunes cards either.

Make sure the setting for your security software allow iTunes to contact Apple servers:
iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues
As for the iPod, since he tried to modify the software, the only thing that could help would be DFU mode , we can't help much more, problems with jailbroken devices can't be discussed in theses forums, due to the Terms of Use.
Your son has to ask those people for help, which encouraged him to jailbreak his device.

Ipad stuck in recovery mode and won't restore--error code 1604

I tried to backup and update my ipad this evening and when doing so it now is stuck on the itunes and USB screen. When I connect the Ipad to the Itunes it says the Ipad is in recivery mode and to restore. I click ok and it tells me i can't restore the ipad and gives me an error code of 1604. I have no idea where to go from here or what happened. Any ideas?

Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). 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:
   1. 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.
   2. Restore and wait for error 1604.
   3. When prompted, click OK.
   4. Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
   5. iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
   6. 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.

I have an error message while trying to update itunes from my Iphone4. It is telling me my phone is in recovery mode and I must restore the phone. How can I fix w/o losing my information? What alternatives do I have? I knew I shouldn't update the SW!!

While updating/synching I have an error saying that my phone is in recovery; need to restore the phone before it can be used with Itunes. And the phone is frozen with a graphic of the itunes symbol and a connector. If I restore, I assume I will lose all my data. Can anyone offer suggestions on how to get around this? Thanks.

It should restore from the backup. If you don't have any backup then you will lose data but what you going to do you have no other alternative so go ahead and do it.

Now it says iTunes has detected an ipod in recovery mod, but when I try to restore it, it says something like could not connect to apple restore firm and I'm back to square one.
Any Help is appreciated!

My iphone is stuck on recovery mode and won't restore

My phone randomly turned off, then when i turned it back on it was on restore mode. i plugged it in to itunes and it said there was a problem and that it needed to be updated and restored. I processed to update and restore it a numerous amount of times, but each time it finishes it comes up with the notification that there is a problem and the iphone is still in recovery mode.

You'll have to get your device checked by visiting an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider, your problem might be hardware related.

I have the newest software on the computer and ipod, i restarted my computer a number of times, i changed USB ports, no other USB is plugged in and i just don't know what else to do.

Ipod update wiped my ipd, now it's in recovery mode and won't restore

I have read through many of the posted forums, but can't seem to find anything that relates to my particular issue. I have a 60g G5
I updated to iTunes 7 with no problem. It asked me to update my ipod software which i did hesitantly. This wiped my ipod and sent it into recovery mode. The ipod itself displays a message telling me to restore it. However when i try to restore it using iTunes i get the following message...
"The ipod could not be restored. An unknown error occoured. (1418)"
I cannot find anything to tell me what this error means or what I can do to fix it. I tried reinstalling iTunes 6 but it would not recognise the ipod at all. I have since reinstalled iTunes 7 but continually get the same message.
Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe this will help:
Troubleshooting
As with all clickwheel iPods, you can reset this iPod by first toggling the hold switch on and off and then simultaneously pressing the select (center) and menu buttons for approximately 5-10 seconds. This is a common fix should your iPod behave unexpectedly or lock up. Once reset, the iPod should display an Apple logo for a few seconds before showing the main menu. This procedure is similar to rebooting a computer and damages none of your music or data.

My iPhone 5 is stuck in recovery mode and won't restore. Please help me!

My iPhone is stuck in recovery mode since I tried a restore Before that it kept powering on and powering off eratically and lingered on the white apple screen. I thought an install would help. Retore attempts always fail, I get the message "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (9)." Please help me!

Would it make any difference if the restore was to a back up or to factory settings?
Yes, if your backup is somehow corrupted, restoring to that backup will put the problem back to the iPhone.
Restore as new and manually put back your content is the preferred method.
Also the restore cuts out and fails when the restore is at the stage of 'verifying with apple'. Is there any reason apple wouldn't 'authorise' a restore?
When restoring, the IOS will be verified with Apple server.
Are you using PC? If so, disable anti-virus and firewall then try again.
