Ipod Touch 4G Restore error 1601 or 1611

the itouch is pretty much new, i clicked home and lock to force a restore and so far have been unable to do, pretty much always getting a 1611, this happens on both win7x64 and osx 10.5
i tried uninstall all apple soft from the win7, even itunes on my music and "apple computer" from app data (local, roaming) then restarting and finally doing the installation again
i tried changing usb ports, rebooting and putting it into dfu mode right away
but anytime that the restore operation puts the ipod on the screen where is supposed to install the software (the one with the progress bar) i can see in the system devices that the driver has a warning
i tried updating too as suggested in http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
but still no luck,
any suggestion?

I am having the same Problem with my iPod touch 2g. It won't turn on at all even when I plug it into tO a wall charger. When I plug it into the computer iTunes does not recognize it. I then put it into DFU mode and and it says the iPod is in recover mode and needs to be restored. I have tried the option+click tp restore with the updated firmware and I get the same error code (1601). I have never jailbroken my iPod. I have tried everything Apple says to do; the 5 r's, removing apple programs and reinstalling themi tried plugging it into multiple USB ports and different computers Mac and PC if that matters. I can't find a solution anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

There's no music in my device (ipod touch) after restoring content because of a software issue. music is available in my laptop's cloud though. how do i restore music in my device?

there's no music in my device (ipod touch) after restoring content because of a software issue. music is available in my laptop's cloud though. how do i restore music in my device?

hi! an error message showed on my device last week and Apple support helped me restore the software on my device. Syncing went well and all my apps were available after. However, when I looked at my music in my device, it did not contain anything. The songs were in Itunes on my laptop and when I tried to play them they did not play. But, it says music is available for my account in the cloud. When I switched to the cloud, I was able to play my music already. But everytime I synced, the music from the cloud are not transferred to my device. Most of the music that I have are from other sources. How do I download those again to my device? I tried what I did before which was to copy the song from my laptop then edit paste it to iTunes but this did not work like before when automatically it becomes available on my device.
pls help. thanks!

TS3694 iPod Touch wont restore

My ipod touch wont restore. When i connect it to the computer it says the ipod is in recovery mode so i proceed to recover the ipod than a error message comes up saying the iPod cannot be restored (1). Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

ERROR (1)
I have not seen a solution for that error but try:
- Place the iPod in DFU mode and then restore

- 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.

My ipod won't restore,error 6. I would really appreciate any advice,please

I bought a new ipod touch 8gb, 2nd gen 5 months ago, Its always had a few problems whilst syncing like itunes crashing but now I cannot restore it, I have tried so many times I have lost count, 'ipod cannot be restored error 6' keeps on coming up every single time I try to restore it.
I have windows vista, could that be why its not working, Ive tried:
-Deleting the ipod software on the computer,
-Disabling the firewall,
-Different usb ports,
-Restarting the computer...
I don't know what to do, I really appreciate any advice at all as to why it's doing this and how to fix it, I've read the apple support pages but they do not help.
Many thanks, I look forward to hearing from someone, anyone soon

Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

my ipod nano wont restore ~ error 1433 what to do

Hi, got the same problem as kerry221. The proposal given by stevejobsfan0123 did not solve it.
Additionally iMac does not shut down after closing iTunes. Need to manually shut down the iMac.
Problem occurred after last software update.
Open for any further proposal :-)

What do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?

Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
“SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:
“Hi all,
I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
Can anyone help? Please?!
Thank you!!!
P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.”
Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!

P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution.

What does "has restore" and "hangup" mean?
Maybe the battery is dead but need more information.

I have a new ipod touch and it says choose to set up as a new ipod touch or restore from a backup. If I restore from backup will my old ipod continue to be synced as before?

Yes. It will not effect your other iPod.
However. change the name of the newer iPod if necessary to avoid confusion if the second one is named the same as the first

Hey i HAVE/HAD the same problem but right in THIS moment i solved it! And i'm gonna tell you how:
1) You have to uninstall ALL the programs that are from Apple.
2) Go into control panel if you are on a windows and delete everything that says Author (Apple inc.)
3) Here is a list of every thing you have to Uninstall:
Apple application support
Apple mobile device support
Apple software update
Bonjour
iTunes
Quicktime player
Safari
4) After that just go to Apple.com and download the lastest version of iTunes!
5) Install it and sync your iPhone/iPod Touch out of Recovery mode.
i hope that helped you, it sure did to me. bye

TS3694 I cannot restore my settings on my Ipod touch. Getting error "2003"

I cannot restore my settings on my Ipod Touch (first generation). Getting error message "2003"

I have tried everything for the last three hours!

I can't restore my iPod touch because of error 3194. I've tried pretty much everything and it still won't restore. Help?!

I turned my iPod off last night and when I went to turn it back on, it got stuck on the logo. I tried to reboot it but it got stuck again. I waited about 15-20 minutes before rebooting it again. It got stuck once again. I plugged it into the computer. The logo came back up but it went away and it showed that I needed to download music from iTunes. I got on iTunes and said it found an iPod in recovery mode and it needed to be restored. Before restoring, I downloaded the updated version of iTunes. After trying to restore my iPod, it said it could not be restored because of error 3194. I then turned my firewall off, opened ports 80 and 443. Nothing seems to work. If you can help. Please do. Thanks.

Did you ever jailbreak or mess with TinyUmbrella? Sounds like your Hosts file is mucked up and pointing the wrong way.
