my ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode and when i try to restore it getting an error code 9

Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation 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.

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

IPod touch 4G stuck in recovery mode- it won't even go into DFU

When I accidentally disconnected my iPod touch 4G during an update yesterday, it automatically went into recovery mode (the screen with the USB cable pointing up towards an iTunes logo). Now it won't turn off, it is recognised by neither my laptop nor by iTunes, it won't even go into DFU, so there's absolutely no way, as far as I can tell, to fix it. I've looked all over the internet, and the only other person I can find who has experienced a similar problem hasn't received an answer in about a year.

My Zen Touch is stuck in recovery m

Hi?My Zen Touch is stuck in Recovery mode, it's deleted it's firmware and can't seem to load anymore. The PC knows it's connecting, because it opens Media Player 0, but Media Player says it's not connected. Creative's advice was to: - . Uninstall all Creative software & drivers
2. If you have Windows Media Player installed then uninstall both it
and Windows Media Player runtime (will require a reboot for each
process). This is done by going to the Add/Remove programs and
uninstalling (This will put your PC back to WMP0).
3. Re-install the Zen Touch drivers from the Creative website and reboot
4. Plug the Zen Touch in.
5. Make sure you have the firmware update ready, run it but do not click
on the language bit yet, leave the mouse hovering over your language
selection.
6. On the Zen Touch's Rescue Mode, select "Reload OS"?
7. As soon as it flashes up "Reload new firmware now via USB" click the
language button
8. The PC should find it and allow you to re-load the firmware. (This
may take a few attempts)
9. Once complete, click close and restart the PC. Everything should now
be fine.
0. Once you are happy you can re-install WMP and it will work fine.
If the following steps doesn't work, do try the steps on another
computer if possible.
It didn't /doesn't work. Can anybody tell me how to recover the **bleep** thing?Latest advice from Creative? Buy a new one!!!

Sounds like the hard dri've heads are jammed. Do you get a faint clicking followed by the recovery menu on bootup?

My iPod touch is stuck in recovery mode, help?

A few hours ago, I tried updating my 5th generation iPod touch to iOS 8. It ran into an error and couldn't update, which left my iPod touch stuck in recovery mode with a screen showing a USB cord pointing to an iTunes symbol. I tried searching for ways to get my iPod out of recovery mode without restoring it to its factory settings, but after a couple hours of seeking, I decided I might as well just restore it. I clicked the restore button, and when it finished, it said that my iPod touch couldn't be restored either. Now, I have no clue what to do. May I have some help?

That error is covered here:
Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build" - Apple Support
If iTunes can’t communicate with the update server, you may see one of these messages.

My ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode I tried RecBoot and the reiBoot both fail to get me out of recovery I get error 28 instad now what?

My ipod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB is stuck in recovery mode I tried RecBoot and when that couldn't do it I tried reiBoot both failed to fix my problem what do you suggest?

Start off with some basic steps:
- Make sure iTunes is up to date
- Try another usb cable
- Try another usb port
In the article Resolve iOS update and restore errors this is what it says about error 28:
Check for hardware issues
Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

Ipod touch 2G stuck in recovery mode

I was given an Ipod touch 2g (not sure if it is an MC model or not) with 16 gig. The device won't show a picture on the screen, but when I connect it to the pc, it is recgonized and the apple mobile device driver is installed. Itunes shows ipod in recovery mode and click to restore. I attempted to restore, downloaded the update from apple, and when it tries to restore or update the software, the screen turns white and then I get an error 21. I attempted this on several different computers with no luck. I have tried reinstalling itunes, holding down the power/home keys as described, turning off all of the security/firewalls, and still no success. I was desparate and tried using redsnow to load the software with and without cydia and I actually had a glimpse of hope in that the screen came to life showing an image with loading jailbreak data, then it started the I think it's called verbose booting showing the programming lines, and I noticed it was reporting errors such as watchdog timeout and nand format mismatch. I ran a diagnostic test through itunes and itunes reported that there was no ipod detected when it was plugged up wanting to restore it, totally contradicting itself. Can anyone help me bring this thing back to life? I know it must have some signs of life, for there is music that showed up in the library that was not on my pc before plugging up my itunes. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Go download RecBoot, kick it in recovery mode and install the firmware manually. You can download it here.

When you get done upgrading and for some reason you get and error or are stuck in recovery mode, use RB to get out of it. It might still work fine at that point.

IPod Touch 4g stuck in recovery mode after iso 5.0 upgrade attempt

Sorry that I'm late to the party and too stupid not to know better when updating my ipod touch just days after the update was released, when will I learn.
I have tried nearly everything I've seen posted in this community and others ... unpluging all usb, holding down sleep and home, re-installing itunes 10.5 ... you name it.
I can't find an answer to this problem anywhere, but rather people yelling at other people for not being able to help and badmouthing eachother because they are ****** off at Apple.
Is there any updated news on what the issue is with error 1604 or why Idevices are getting stuck in recovery mode?
Are the servers still swamped and I just can't get through?
Next time I will wait about 3 months before upgrading a new operating system (but then, I think I said that the last time I did this.)
Thanks for any help.

Try a manual install, as outlined in the link below. You can kick it out of Recovery Mode using RecBoot.
