If i used an iphone firmware to restore my ipod touch what would happen?

Well I know I said I only have a second generation iPod Touch, so maybe I'm out of Touch (no pun intended) but I fail to understand how you have installed a SIM card into an iPod Touch.
If your iPod Touch can have a SIM card installed into it, I would think that makes it a phone.
iPhone perhaps?
Sigh!

If I restore my iPod Touch 4g, would I be able to get my data from my applications back?

I recently bought a new iPod Touch 4G about 2 weeks ago and today when I tried to sync it with iTunes, it said that iTunes cannot read the contents of my iPod and that I have to factory restore my iPod.
It has not been Jailbroken by the way. I'm a new user of an iPod Touch.
But my question is, would my data from the apps I have downloaded be reset to "new" (as if I just downloaded it)? Right now my sister has a lot of coins in temple run and she wouldn't like it if it all went away.
Also, does anyone know a way to prevent this error from hapening again?

Yes, if you have icloud backup or itunes backup you could get your app data back. You can do so later in the activation on the ipod touch not on itunes. Inertnet connection required (wifi). The error is only fixable by restoring the ipod touch and this can be preveted by downloading itunes 10.6.3 which can be downloaded here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and by have one of these os windows xp, vista, 7, macintosh 10.5, 10.6, 10.7. Hope this helps!

HT201210 am getting an ''unknown error (1)'' when trying to restore my iPod touch, what is the solution

I restored my ipod touch (old version, silver back cover) but after erasing all the memory in it, Itunes showed me an error message ......The Ipod ''Ipod'' could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1)....What is the problem or how can I resolve this error?? please assist!!

This usually indicates a hardware problem.
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.

Cannot restore my iPod touch 3g "Software for this iPhone is not currently"

Hello,
II have a big problem, I cannot restore my iPod touch.
I cannot get anything to show on the screen, it seems stuck in DFU mode. When I connect it to my pc, iTunes show this message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes".
"Check for update" is grayed. Capacity/serial/Software show N/A.
iTunes detects it as an iPhone but it's an iPod touch.
I tried 2 different computers.
I tried to download firmware and shift restore them, tried many, none work, telling it is not compatible.
When I click restore simply, it show this message "Software for this iPhone is not currently available".
I tried different ipod cable too, no luck.
The only way I can see something on the screen is with greenpoison (note that before this, I never tried nor wanted to jailbreak, but I tried a lot of things since 2 days including this, but no luck), so with green poison, I can get the iTunes + cable logo on the screen, but it won't restore either.
my iPod is just 1 year old, and 32gb, I'm rly frustrated and sad about all this :S, I tried lot of things, searched a lot, nothing work.
This happened when I came back from the gym, in my car, the iPod would not turn on, I tried again at home, and after some home/power, it turned on, I took a shower and when I came back, it was the same problem but since, it never turned on again.
Any help would be rly appreciated, thanks.

If its stuck in DFU mode, just hold the Power/Sleep button and the Home button until the device resets. If your unable to access the springboard, you might need to RECOVER your iPod Touch using the Recovery method, not DFU mode.

The iPhone and iPod Touch is very similar, except the iPod Touch doesn't have phone capabilities.

If you never Jailbroken, then why is greenpois0n installed? Did you buy this from a previous owner?

I want to use my iPhone 3GS just as an ipod, not a phone. No sym card. New iOS5 won't allow. What do I do? Can I do a hard reset?

Hey, as far as I know you need a sim card to activate after a restore
It however does not have to be a fully working sim card, just not blocked or with a pass code, I repair/refurb. some iPhones and can only advise to try and get a free sim card from a provider supported on your phone and activate it with this, or maybe someone can lend you theirs for 5 mins?
To clarify, I have heard there are ways around this, but they sound dubious.

Restore new Ipod Touch from iPhone 4 backup...

I bought my son an iPod touch as he is constantly asking to play games on my iPhone 4. I want to transfer the games from my iPhone 4 to his iPod, including the save data. Is it possible for me to simply restore his new iPod from my latest iPhone backup? I can then delete any apps he would not be using, etc.

yes.
in fact, when you connect the Touch to iTunes for the 1st time, you should be asked if you want the back up of your iPhone to be restored to the Touch.

If you forgot (or don't know) your passcode, restore the device from backup on the last computer it was synced with when the passcode was turned on... this will remove the passcode. If you do not have access to the last computer it was synced with, or you don't have a backup, you will have to force it into recovery mode & restore as a new device.

Please how can I restore my ipod touch 2g from a firmware that I own already on my computer and without any time need to download via itunes

You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabilng the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Next, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials.
If possible, either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync. To do this, right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.

Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software availbable to assist you with this task.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

I have just restored my ipod touch after being disabled. Now it is asking for pasword, can I cancel this so I don't have to use a password?

I have just restored my ipod touch after being disabled. Now it is asking for the passcode? I still cant remember the passcode. How do I go past this?

You'll have connect in recovery mode and set it up "as new ipod" http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone and iPod touch software.
If the issue continues after updating and restoring your device, refer to this document.

I need a new phone and ipod, would I be able to use an iPhone as a phone and iPod only and not have to buy the internet data plan?

I need a new phone and iPod, would I be able to use an iPhone as a phone and iPod, without having to purchase the internet date plan?

You cannot do this. iPhones have to be activated with a service plan before any of the features, including the iPod features can be used.

I'm needing help restoring an iPod touch 5 back to factory settings because I purchased it used

Are you sure it is 1043? I've never seen that error before. But you can try disabling your security software, connecting the phone to a USB port directly on the computer (not a hub), and trying to restore again.

Get a replacement cable. If still under warranty, Apple will replace the cable.

HT4972 previously used apps won't work after system restore?ipod touch 2nd gen.?

My son forgot his passcode so I had to restore his ipod touch, 2nd gen. After the restore, many of his apps no longer work. He had Netflix, Facebook, Angry Birds. They now all say they require ios 4.3 or 5.0. Does anyone know how to get these apps back on his ipod? thanks!

Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.
