IPod won't restore, is stuck in recovery mode

This is the email I sent to Apple on Sunday night, they wrote back long enough to say it was being forwarded to the tech department, and I haven't heard anything since:
Hello,
I'm writing about a problem with my sister's iPod.
She was on her iPod touch 8GB tonight, and her iPod suddenly brought up this alarming screen. Attached is a picture of what that screen image looked like. It will not let her do anything whatsoever on her iPod. It appeared it needed and was asking to be plugged into the computer by the image it showed.
We plugged it into the computer and as soon as iTunes pulled up on the computer it gave a message reading:
"iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes."
We tried to restore it, and it would not let us restore it. Everytime we tell it to restore, it goes through the motions as if it is going to try to restore, then blinks a white screen that goes back to black with the Apple logo on the iPod, while at the same time the computer iTunes displays this messsage:
"The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error has occured (1611)."
It gave me the option of clicking Ok or More Information. I clicked more information which lead me to this page on your website: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275 - The picture of what came up is on this page.
It also gave me an "unknown error (9)" when I tried to plug it back in and restore it after restarting the computer.
I have done all I know to do to try to fix this issue. It is 1 am, and I've been trying to fix this problem for over 2 hrs. It doesn't seem fixable from everything I've done.
The computer has been restarted, the iTunes is the most recent version out (matter of fact I downloaded it while trying to figure the problem out, I think it's the 10.1 version), and the software on the iPod is current and up to date. I have tried it on a different computer and it says the same thing. I have tried my best to get it worked out, and I don't konw what else to do.
I'm writing to ask some questions and get some help. First off why did the iPod suddenly do this? Are there any precautions to take to prevent if from happening again? And finally and most importantly right now, how can I restore and fix it? My sister is lost without her iPod!
Thanks so much for any help you can give me on this matter!
Have a great day!
Sharon
Does anyone know what to do?

Thanks everyone for trying to help! I'm sorry for all of those of you that are having issues, or have had issues. Technology is a wonderful thing WHEN it works.
We ended up taking it to the Apple Store, they said it was unfixable. However told us if we had a guarantee it may be under that. Since the iPods were got at Best Buy with a 2 yr. guarantee, the guarantee was still in use, so we checked with them on it. They said it WAS fixable, so we sent it off. Ended up being that they weren't able to fix it, and they replaced it with a new one. The new one doesn't have the apple logo on the back, but it says it's a iPod touch, and is suppose to be the same kind my sister already had. I'm currently restoring it, so we'll see how it goes.
Itunes support was NO help. They are lowsy when it comes to support! I do appreciate everyone's help and advice on this. To those of you still having problems I wish you the best!

IOS 8 + iPad 3 + Connect to iTunes + Stuck in Recovery Mode

Current issue
Went to apply iOS8 update to ipad and it began the update process over wifi
Screen went black after awhile, apple logo showed a few times, now stuck on connect to itunes logo.
Connected to iTunes and it says "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes"
Nothing is said about updating etc that has been mentioned.
Reiboot, recboot, etc none unlock it out of recovery mode.
Apple has pretty much bricked this ipad with the update. Anyone with a fix yet on this?

Got the same problem with the iPad 2.
Don't want to restore to factory settings and lose all my photos.

IOS 6.1 download problems - stuck in recovery mode

If your iPad, iPhone or iPod are stuck in recovery mode, try the following:
1. download the firmware for your device: http://www.ngbtips.com/download-links-ios-6-1-official-firmware.html
2. plug your device into a computer running iTunes
3. when the "restore device box" pops up, control click on button to restore
4. restore your device from the firmware you downloaded
Hope this helps!

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.

Then try restoring on another computer.

Hi.
I have just tried to update Ipad to IOS6.1, but it failed during install. The pad now seems to be stuck in recovery mode.
I have tried to restore to factory settings but I get a error code 3194
During attempted restore the restore screen does not show the Ipad name, serial number or software version number.
Any suggestions, I think it may need to be sent away to be repaired, and i fear this will be very expensive!!!

IPad 1, stuck in recovery mode, error 1601, wont turn on or restore/update

Its a brand new iPad,
its stuck in recovery mode, it says restore and update but it wont restore/ update because i get error 1601, How do i fix this problem ??? it wont even turn on please help?

If it were in recovery mode, you would see this
If its just a blank black screen, follow these steps
Will not turn on, or will not turn on unless connected to power
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions.   If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage.   If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check    if the Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) in the headset jack or dock connector is activated or there are signs of corrosion or debris. Learn more about LCIs.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See   "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
If something other than the Home screen or Low Battery screen appears on the display, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, try resetting it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter. To reset, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or the battery symbol appears.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Restore the iPhone. Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

There is a way to get it recovered from the so called DFU mode. Try to restart the phone while holding the home and power button at the same time. Then try to connect it to iTunes and do the same again. If you try that again till it works you should be able to use your iPhone as before.

New iPad Air 2 stuck in recovery mode, won't restore

My mother recently bought a new iPad Air 2 and found that the Touch I.D wasn't working, so she called support and they told her to restore the iPad, which she tried. When she tried to restore the iPad it says an unknown error has occurred and the iPad can't be restored. Now the iPad is stuck in recovery mode and only showing the connect to iTunes screen.

Please help!

Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you checked your connections and are still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues.

Ipod touch stuck in recovery mode and will not restore. error code 3194

ipod touch stuck in recovery mode, will not restore and comes up with error code 3194, itunes is up to date, please help

Hi @rchangel - Thanks for the ideas...
Yes - it won't let you install the 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine.
I've had a cursory look at the SP1 release notes, and couldn't spot anything vital - what critical stuff do you know of in SP1?
I don't want to have to go through all the pain of setting up VM's, reinstalling iTunes, getting all my album art back in etc. (though I could, as I do have Win7 pro). I've also heard that running iTunes in Windows 7 compatibility mode might help. Can anyone confirm whether that actually works?
I think it's in Apple's gift to fix this issue, given that they say that they support Windows 7. So far I've had no feedback from a mail I sent to Apple, and the number of users reporting this problem keeps going up and up.
I want Apple to recognise that there is a problem, and then I want them to fix it.

IPad1 stuck in recovery mode with and ITunes cannot restore with an error code of 11?

I tried to update to IOS 4.3.4 today but now my iPad1 stuck in recovery mode with and ITunes cannot restore with an error code of 11?
(With the old discussion groups it was easy to see where other people had similar problems, these new groups seems clunky in comparison)

OK, fixed it by using SHIFT+RESTORE to load the iPad1,1_4.3.4_8K2_Restore.ipsw file in directly from the
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPad Software Updates
folder.
No idea why the upgrade to 4.3.3 failed in the first place and no idea why iTunes was not clever enough to just do it by itself when it detected that there was a problem in the first place.

Ive tried all that I can including the tips given in the apple forums and internet. Please help.

Hello soccerlime,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
