Now I am getting the ipod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (2003) what should I be doing I did check for updates for the computer got some and then did a restart, still have this problem and I can't use my ipod touch at this point.

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're 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 doesn't resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, 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.

ITunes could not restore the iPod . . . because an error occurred

I recently upgraded my iPod Touch (3rd Generation) to iOS 4. I an effort to enable the hardware encryption functionality of the device, I followed Apple's instructions to backup the iPod, erase it to factory settings (using the "Restore" button on the status pane of the iPod section of iTunes and attempt to restore from the backup I just made. Unfortunately, the restore now fails 100% of the time with the error "iTunes could not restore the iPod [iPod name] because an error occurred." There are no error numbers listed.
Any assistance anyone can provide would be much appreciated. A decent chunk of data that was local to my device now seems to be missing.

I had this exact problem, just as described by the original poster. I went to the Apple store, but the Genius Bar was totally unable to help. I am glad I went, however, in that they did have a possible explanation, which was as alarming as it was unexpected: the backup files are probably corrupt (in my case, perhaps by an (unwanted) simultaneous iOS upgrade to 4.02?). Apple had no solution, but the only choice I can see is restoring a previous, good version of the backup image to your computer, and then trying the restore again. Hopefully you have Time Machine or something similar--for once in my life, I am prepared. The files in question are located in different places on Mac and PC. See:

Restore the entire folder, just to be safe. iTunes now accepts the backup and seems to be working normally. It has reset, and the full restore is in process. I won't know for a few hours if my all app data is intact, so I'll have to report back.
PS: Do to some panicky monkeying around earlier in the day, I also had to restore earlier versions of these 3 files to make it work, as iTunes was no longer recognizing the old image files as belonging to my iPod. I'm not sure which one is truly responsible for the confusion.

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models

Welcome to the discussions,
did you make sure your security software does not block access to the Apple servers during the restore process.

ITunes error 13/14/1604, Can not restore my iPod Touch

Hello,
My iPod Touch crashed when using a app, so I did a hard reset.
After that it displayed the "Connect to iTunes thing"
The problems started that
So I connected it to iTunes, and it said that it couldn't make a connection because of my password.
There was no way to enter the password though, because of the connect to itunes picture.
I've put my iPod in DFU mode, and then tried to restore.
It gave a unknown error (14)
I asked on some forums and they gave me some tips, I tried them, got a 1604 error, tried to restore again, got a 13 error.
Now I keep getting an 14 error
I have no idea what to do now, I do not have any warrenty, since the water indicator is not the color it should be.
But that happened 4 months ago, and all the time it worked perfect
Can someone please help me out

Ok. I have spent the last 8 hours researching this problem and have the absolute 110% answer to everyone's problem with this issue.
Error 13 and 14 : Are checksum problems with the firmware image that is in the update package.
The update package is a .ipsw (IPod or IPhone SoftWare). This file is actually just a .zip renamed .ipsw.
The error is caused by a failure to download a crc-free version of the file. Not really sure why there are so many crc problems with the iphone updates, but Apple does not check the integrity of the update package before wiping your current version of IPhone software and that is why all IPhones that start an update with a bad update package end up in recovery mode. These errors are NOT related to the iTunes installation, antivirus software, or firewalls.
Recommendation : use a program like "Object Fix" (Freeware) to verify the integrity of the file prior to commencing with any new updates. You will have to keep trying to download it until you get a error free file. Once you have a CRC error free file this problem will go away. (I thought TCP/IP helped get rid of CRC errors.)
I had another problem and that was...
Error 1603 and 1604 : These are USB driver connectivity problems.
Recommendation : FULLY uninstall and re-install itunes software as stated in the Apple support documentation. Be sure to reboot between each step and these problems should clear themselves up. In addition, firewalls and anti-virus software may cause these errors as well.
Finally, shame on apple for not properly documenting their software so that end users do not have to decrypt their error messages with no true support to solve the issues. These are problems that enough people have had that there should be specific documentation on these problems.

Can not Restore my Ipod Touch

I was trying to get my grandson's Ipod to sync on his movies and it would respond with a device timed out message. Thinking that a restore would help the situation I attemted to do a restore. I have wiped his Ipod (I'm not very popular at the moment) and I getan error message (unknown error 2003) I have tried a different USB port and it just about worked once. Since then I have updated my intel USB drivers and still no resotre. What is a 2003 error?

however when I created a new user account and redownloaded the restore software a restore began but did not finish even though I let it run for 3 hours.
Hmmmm. Just checking something else quickly ... by any chance, are you running Eset's Nod32 antivirus on the PC? (It's been associated with some similar sorts of grief when updating iPod Touchs recently.)

Im going to restore my ipod touch(4th gen) to factory settings. my question is, how do i back up all notes from the app "notes" so they can be reinstalled? or is it allready backed up as per the main "back-up" ?

im going to restore my ipod touch(4th gen) to factory settings. my question is, how do i back up all notes from the app "notes" so they can be reinstalled? or is it allready backed up as per the main "back-up" ? I know its a simple question, but i dont know the answer. please help.

The iPod backup that iTunes makes includes Notes.and other app data. However, it does not included synced media like apps and music.
Thus, just restore from backup with all your synced media in your iTunes library.

The way I did it was I got the free app sync:stream from the App Store and then added my ipod to my ps3's Bluetooth devices. Then went to audio settings and set output and input to 'Skaggs iPod' you then open the app and it will be listed under music as a media service. You then go to all tracks and click copy (press triangle) it will then begin to copy all of your songs onto your ps3 via Bluetooth. I haven't tried but I assume the same can be done with photos. I hope this was helpful reply if you have any questions :) good luck

he menu button of the ipod touch (4th generation) is not working and the service center of ipod is asking us to pay for the fixation of the said item even though it's still on warranty. this is the case number 215866894. And the service center said that they don't cover that center part of the ipod so they're asking us money before they can fix it. We bought the ipod last december 8, 2010 and we brought it to the service center last april, 2011 here in the philippines. And until now they're not fixing it because they're asking us to pay half the price of the item which is 8,040 pesos..

As advised, you need to call Apple about this.
