I can't restore my 4th gen itouch.

I never thought a piece of hardware would bring me to such frustration and anger.
I've been sitting here for about 8 hours trying to restore my itouch. I've gotten errors 1604, another 16xx error I can't remember, 3194, and others.
And it's brand new. For the love of Apple, can someone help me? I've tried download ispw's and shift-restoring. I've tried everything I can think of.

The actions for those specific errors are included here:

  • HT201412 Can't restore iPod 4th gen, HELP!!!

       Hi! I can't restore my iPod 4th gen. because it will not show up under "devices" on iTunes! I plug my iPod into my computer, and a little stop sign comes up telling me my iPod is locked with a passcode and needs to be unlocked. Heres the catch: my iPod has a erratic/unresponsive touch screen! I can't shut it down or unlock it! So ultimately the devices column does NOT show up. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRICIATED!

    What what are you trying to do with the N9
    What did you do with the N9 on the older iPods?

  • 4th Gen iTouch - charge by cig-liter adapter

    Called the Apple support hotline - asked if the new 4th Gen iTouch comes with a wall charger/USB cord. The Apple rep told me it does.
    Bought one, NO wall charger plug, only the USB cord. Why ? and can I buy a cig/liter adapter that will charge my new 4th Gen iTouch ?

    I bought a USB/cig.liter adapter which lites up when I plug it in, but the battery icon on my Touch does not show up, nor does it seem to be charging.  I received one answer from the Apple Community earlier stating that the iPod Touch can NOT be charged with a cig.liter adapter (connected by a USB cord/plug.
    I also found out, too late, that my new iTouch does NOT come with a wall plug adapter nor a cig.liter adapter, only the USB cord which limits one to charging by computer - not exactly ideal when you are on the road.
    So, who is correct ?  Can I charge a new 2012 4th Gen. iPod Touch with a cigarette lighter charger . . . or not ?
    And who's idea was it to sell these rather expensive toys without a wall-plug adapter in the first place ?

  • 4th Gen iTouch lock button got stuck. How do I fix this?

    How do I fix this? My 4th Gen iTouch's lock button got stuck and I can't use it. I'm left with the home button and accessibility button. Power Mac Service Centers didn't fix or replace it even though it is still covered by the warranty because they said that it had a dent on the lower left side.

    Try:
    fix for Home button
    iPhone Home Button Not Working or Unresponsive? Try This Fix
    - If you have iOS 5 and later you can turn on Assistive Touch it add the Home and other buttons to the iPods screen. Settings>General>Accessibility>Assistive Touch
    - If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for the following. The dent indicates abuse which voids the warranty on the entire iPod.

    You can do it an an Apple store by:

    - There are third-party places like the following that will repair the Home button. Google for more.

  • 4th Gen Itouch IOS 4.3.1 Video app problems

    I just recently updated my 4th gen Itouch to IOS 4.3.1, and was very happy with the additions and improvements until I tried to watch a movie through the videos app. Starting a movie at the beginning, it plays fine except no sound. When I scrub forward to see if this is just some strangeness in the film, it freezes. The play button will flash to pause, but will not play my movie from that point. The movie is in MP4 format and plays fine in Quicktime on my computer through Itunes.
    I love my Itouch and I use it for everything. I have really enjoyed having my movies available on long trips or standing in non-moving lines. Is there a solution for this?

    This is me replying to myself! I can't believe a million others aren't joining in by now! OK. I had Apple call me again this morning and I told them my daughter's iPod touch is having the same issue with MP4 videos. They still wanted me to wipe my device. So tonight I did just that. Wiped it out and then set it up as a new iPod, then put a new MP4 video on it and it still did the same thing! Please anybody at Apple, test this out! It will fail!
    Anyway, just a few minutes ago I tried to setup another "Call me back" with Apple support and their dumb system wouldn't let me pick any days in April! It skipped to May 1st! Geez, what's going on with this company?

  • What ios system can the IPod touch 4th gen. update to

    What ios system can the iPod touch 4th gen. update to?

    I wouldn't buy a second-gen iPod touch at any price now, and particularly not for only $50 less than a fourth-gen model. There are far too many apps that require a version of iOS newer than what a second-gen iPod can run. Up to you, though.
    Regards.

  • New update? Now I have to restore my 4th Gen IPod Touch?

    So i updated my ipod 4th gen today with the new update, and after it gets done. I see the charger end of a usb for the ipod with an arrow pointing to a itunes symbol, i go and plug my ipod in and it keeps asking me to restore my ipod. How do i fix this without having to restore my ipod to factory settings?

    There is likely a reason.
    No idea what it would be.
    Sometimes computers have issues and you need to restore them.
    Everything should be on your computer.  You can put it back after the restore.
    Sorry

  • Restoring Ipod 4th gen

    I am trying to restore my ipod touch 4th gen, and it won't it gives me error code 3194 (I think that is it), and I have put it in dfu mode and tryed it and still wouldn't can anyone help?

    Loop
    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.
