Ipod 4G stuck in recovery mode. Wont update!

I just bought a 4G ipod touch and adding songs, and left the room and my little sister hit the restore button in itunes and now its stuck in recovery mode and wont update. Itunes tells me: "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes."
I hit recovery and it gets past the recovery part to verify ipod restore. Which looked like the last step i get an error: The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred(9)
I have tried everything..
I am using windows 7 and i just updated itunes. Usb is updates as well.
I have a $300 ipod and its not working.
HELP!

I have nearly the same problem!
I had to wait over 1 month to get my ipod touch and when it was there, i couldn't syncronise it over iTunes. so i decided to restore it and it stuck in the progress...
so i released the usb-cabel and my iPod Touch 4g came in the recovery mode..
and now it always stucks, when i try to restore it. i don't even get an error from iTunes..
what can i do? i didn't do anything wrong!
I'm also a little bit disappointed of apple, because it says, that i can't return a defective device online! The next apple store is a two hour drive away and it's not sure, that they can really help me. i also don't know, if my ipod is really defective!!!

Ipod touch stuck in recovery mode after update

Help! Ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode after an update. I don't want to restore and lose all pictures.

You have no other choice but to restore. You can restore from backup and get the iPod back to where it was when the backup was made.

Ipod is stuck in recovery mode: wont restore

i spaced out and connected my ipod (mac formatted) to my friends vista pc. ever since then my ipod has not been responsive, figuring i had all my music backed up i tried to restore it and it has been stuck in recovery mode whenever i connect it to a mac ever since. my brother has a windows pc and it connects perfectly to it... help please?

It's your penance for trying to steal music.
Hook it up to your computer and check System Monitor to make sure it is still showing up. If it is, use Disk Utility and repair the disk. Then restore it in iTunes.

Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

Please help, I'm extremely frustrated. ipod is stuck in recovery mode. Connected to different computer to restore and after 75 minutes of downloading get a message that there was a Problem downloading, network connection timed out. Cannot get past "connect to itunes" on ipod.

Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves that error.

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

IPod Touch stuck in recovery mode and not detected in iTunes

I was trying to update my iPod Touch (currently 3.1.3), so I downloaded the 4.3.3 firmware (I didn't want to download the 4.3.5) and connected my iPod to my computer, opened iTunes and hit Shift+Restore. Then, I chose the 4.3.3 firmware and proceeded with the restore.
However, the following appears:
Error 1602
I pressed OK and the restore process stopped. But, my iPod is stuck in recovery mode. Every time I reboot it, the recovery mode shows up. It's also not detected in iTunes although my computer recognize it as iPod Touch Recovery Mode.
Please help me solve this. I can't use my iPod.

Error 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

Also, when updating/restoring an iDevice, iTunes contactact the Apple sever to verify that you have the latest iOS version. If not, it will not allow an install if an earlier version.
