IPod Touch 1st Gen will not restore. Unknown Error (6)

So, i've been trying to restore my iPod for a good few hours now. Nothing seems to be working, and i've tried just about all the tips from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
Is there some other way to fix Unknown Error(6)? Im planning on taking it to the Apple store to see if they can work there restoration magic on it, but id still like to see if i can fix it at home first.
Thanks.
Edit: Im not very good with this stuff, so you guys may already know this, but i can't do anything with my iPod at this point. It just gives me the USB ----> ITunes screen.
If it matters, my iPod froze after i tried to start an app(downloaded from App store. Ipod is not jailbroken). I restored it, no problem. But it was being VERY VERY slow and laggy, and this strange thing happened where it would reboot, show the apple logo, then go dark and show the logo as if it was starting up again, ect. Basicly, this is what happened the second time.
1. Reboot, apple logo showing.
2. Off for a quick second.
3. Reboot, apple logo showing.
4. Off for a quick second.
It just kept happening, and i had to reset it by holding the top and middle button. Now its in restore mode, and when i try to restore it i get Error (6).

- Is the iPod signed into the same iTunes account that purchased the apps? (Settings>Store)
- Are the apps compatible with a 1G iPod with iOS 3.1.3.  Many apps require a later model iPod or later iOS.l

  • Ipod touch 1st gen will not sync my apps

    I've just bought my youngest son a cheap second hand Ipod touch 1st gen. I currently run an Iphone 4 and an Ipod touch 4th gen which both sync no problem but this new Ipod will sync everything I have (music, films, books, contacts etc but not the apps. When I click onto the apps section within the new Ipod on iTunes the availabe apps are greyed out and whereas I can click the "sync" box on all other sections there is no response when I click that box in apps.
    Please help me, the other Ipod touch is for my daughter and i can not imaging what will happen come christmas if she has all my apps but my son doesn't. Especially Angry Birds!!!!!!

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen will not restore

    I have a brand new IPod Touch 5th Gen and I Tunes will not let me restore.  Am in an endless state of Recovery Mode.  I have the latest version of ITunes installed and the IPod Touch worked perfectly for two weeks after I got it.  Now when I try turning it on, all I see is a black screen and USB cord leading to the ITunes symbol.  I checked in Diagnostics and it says no IPod is detected, yet my IPod shows below Devices in ITunes.  I have tried 20 or so suggestions to fix the problem and nothing works, including holding down Sleep button (turn on) and Home button for many minutes.  Is there any way I can get ITunes to recognize my new IPod in the proper way?  Restoring process in ITunes just does not work.  Thank you.     I believe this Touch has the iOS 6.0.1.

    Try placing the iPod in DFU mode and then try restoring.

  • My iPod Touch (4th gen) will not restore what do I do?

    Yesterday my iPod touch suddenly got a black screen and wouldnt turn on/off. I couldn't tell what it was doing. I plugged into my HP laptop and it showed that it was on and in recovery mode. I clicked on the restore and update option, and it updated the software, but now it is stuck with the apple logo and the loading bar on my ipod screen. The bar isn't showing that it is loading. I've left for 2 hrs and it never did anything. HELP!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I am having the same problem (lost in back-up purgatory) on both my iPhone 4 and my iPad2.  I am running Windows XP.
    I have tried everything I've seen suggested on various support communities, with no success.
    I have gotten used to having to find a windows workaround everytime Apple updates iTunes, and this time it is especially frustrating.  
    I don't have any solutions, and I am responding to all of these types of messages in hopes of finding something that will work for me.
    One person was able to work through it by deleting all of the previous iTunes backup files.  I'm trying that now.  4 hours into it, and it does not seem to be working......

    my ipod touch 3rd gen will not sync to pc.itunes file menu sync my ipod is greyed out.and i cant sync or put any new songs.please help me.

    I've gotten the iPod to sync after restoring it and not changing ANY of the music sync settings.  I didn't even click "sync music", I just have it on manual and clicked autofill. 
    After it synced all of the music successfully, I tried to sync a playlist (my recently added), and it's gone bonkers again, it won't sync the playlist's music, or any new music now. 

  • My ipod touch 4th gen. will not allow me to adjust volume with my speaker, but will with headphones. How do i fix this?

    My ipod touch 4th gen. will not allow me to adjust volume with my speaker, but will with headphones. How do i fix this?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem

  • Ipod touch 4th generation will not restore

         My ipod touch 4th generation will not restore. It begain with a random problem with the device. I tried to open a application but the application would blink a few times then would not open. This was so for ALL of the applications. I then powered of my device to try and reboot it. The Apple logo will apear for about 5 seconds but then the sreen will go black and the Apple logo will apear again. I tried to reboot several times and it did not work. I then connected my device to my computer but it would not appear in Itunes. The only way for the device to appear was for me to put it into DFU mode by holding down the home and power button for 10 seconds. My Itouch would have the connect to Itunes on it. It was then reconized by Itunes. Itunes message appeared telling me that i need to restore my Ipod. I tried restoring the Ipod, but after the update downloaded a error would appear while it was going through the restoration proccess.
         My Ipod is under the one year warrenty and i also had purchased an extended two year warrenty for my Ipod. I do not know what i should do.

    ok i will my friend has my ipod right now but If it doesn't still work ill get the error number tomorrow.
