I tried to restore my ipod heaps of times and none of them worked. i got error 3194, 2009, 1604 and 1601. PLEAS HELP ME!

i tried to restore my ipod heaps of times on different computers and operating systems. whenever i tried, i got errors. mostly i got error 3194. i sometimes got erroe 1604, 1601 or 2009. please help me!

A few things to try, all copied from Update and restore error messages on iPhone and iPod touch
Error 1600, 1601: Uninstall and reinstall the latest version of iTunes (see instructions for Mac and Windows). If that doesn't resolve the issue, see the steps for 1602.
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 are 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 does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.
Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes.

I tried to restore my ipod touch 2nd generation and now it won't sync to itunes. On the screen is the USB end of the cord and the iTunes logo over it.
I have turned it off and on, held the off button down and the select button down but it still comes up with that picture on the screen. Have I broken it?
Please help.

It means the device is in recovery mode. You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
You may need to connect it in recovery mode manually using the instructions in this Apple support document.

HT5654 Tried to restore my ipod to factory setting and now it erased everything and says their is an error (1) and the apple logo is stuck on the ipod. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED!!!! Would have never done this if I knew this was going to happen! itunes is upda

Tried to restore my ipod I just wanted to back to factory setting and delete everything on it. I did it and NOW everything is erased, gone, and stuck on the apple logo. Populated that it is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. Clicked on restored and error (1) came up. So now I have a useless iPod that I purchased. Big apple user minus my laptop. 2 iPod, 2 iShuffles, iPad, 4 iPhones, iMac 27 inch. If this isn't rectified I will never buy and continue to push my consumers, family, and friends on my bad experience with apple. iTunes is up to date and now I am concerned that if do anything to my phone this same problem will happen.

Hello, Marc.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Error 1 or -1 can be very tricky to resolve and sometimes leads to a device needing service. That being said, here are the steps I would go through first for this specific error.
Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.

If the iPod is still unable to be restored it may needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

HT201413 ? I have an iPad 3 and it just keeps power cycling. I have tried to restore it with iTunes several times and it keeps coming up with Error 9. Loss of USB connection. I have tried different cables and ports and it wont come back to life.

Can't seem to figure this out on my own. My apple store is 90 minites away and I would like to not burn up a weekend traveling to the store just to have it sent away. Any ideas what I can do to get my iPad3 from power cycling. I am up to date on all software updates.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

Have tried all the different methods to clear cache, but none of them work.

I don't know what other information to supply. The above question sums the problem up fully. The cache simply will not clear/empty.

Hi John,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I have followed the instructions under How to clear the cache, as well as those under Clear Recent History. Options - Advanced - Network - Offline Storage - Clear Now. In addition, my settings specify to clear cache upon closing Firefox. Nothing is working at this point (and hasn't for months, although it used to a long time ago).
I don't know about this 'about:cache' thing. That just gets me to a general google search page.
As far as your questions:
I want to clear the cache to get rid of older links (and get fresh links) at the farmtowngifts.com site. So it's not a major problem, as I could simply quit using Firefox when I have exhausted all current links there, and use a different browser. I don't use Firefox for anything else anyway.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Was that Apple ID and password the original owner of the iPod? If not, try using the Apple ID and password of the original owner.
