Ipod touch error 1604. i need this fixed!!
ok. i have a big problem with my touch
my ipod touch is frozen or broken or something. and this is awful
it won't restore or anything. when i turn it on, it shows the itunes w/ the cable. but when i try to restore it in itunes, theres an error. its like 3 weeks old and i love it. it was jailbroken
please help me!
*Edit: If your iPod remains jailbroken (in it's currently inoperatable state) - then returning/exchanging or refunding the product is going to be tricky. By modifying the software, you broke Apple's Software & End User Agreement's between you and Apple which states modification of software of any kind will result in you voiding your warranty. Now ... normally this wouldn't matter, as restoring would make it look like you hadn't jailbroken, but seen as though you can't do anything with it. Your stuck. :/*
From previous articles and threads on these boards, iPod touch error 1604 suggests faulty hardware.
I wish I could help you further, but Apple do not provide a list of error messages, what they mean, or a resolution on a error-to-error basis.
I would contact Apple support for a solution. Failing that i'd return your iPod for a full refund, and a discount off your next one for the trouble.

Anyways whenever I connect my iPod Touch to my computer now it would say that it's in recovery mode and needs to be restored. I can only turn my iPod on via hard reset and cannot exit recovery. The only solution I've found into resolving this error is to drain the battery of the iPod (which is very hard because it shuts off due to inactivity) and then plug it in and charge it. This seems to get rid of the error for the time being, but soon after recharging the iPod it will come back again with the same error. I've tried all the solutions found on the support page for error 1604, but none seemed to work. If anybody has any other solutions please post them. If you don't have a solution, could you tell me if Apple will offer a replacement for faulty hardware? The 90-day warranty that came with the product has just expired, so it's kind of stressful.
So here's the latest: I sent the Touch back to Apple, and they tested it and couldn't reproduce the problem! They made sure the firmware was up to date and sent it back to me. I got it from DHL and it turned on fine -- of course, not being synched with my computer, it didn't have my stuff o it, but it was working. So I plugged it into my MacBook Pro to get my music etc on it again, and what do you know! It goes into needs-to-be-restored yet again, and yet again, ends up with the 1604 error! (If you heard swearing around that time today, that was me.)
So I tried a new tack: if the ipod met factory specs and was fine, according to Apple, then it must be my MacBook Pro. This put me in a completely different queue. We tried everything, including trashing the "iPod Software Updates" folder from inside the Library/iTunes directory for my login and rebooting. So by this time, it's dinner time, and I have to go, and the support person said she'd look into it some more and call me back. When she did, I was still at dinner, but she told me one last thing to try, and she'd call me back before the end of her shift, and this is it:
When the iPod is plugged in and iTunes displays the window for the iPod with the Summary tab and two buttons, one to "Check for Update" and one to "Restore", click the "Check to Restore" button. I told her, even though I wasn't at my machine, that I knew it was greyed out, or else I would have tried it in the past. She said to try clicking it anyway. So when I came home, I plugged it in, got the screen and tried clicking the grey "Check for Update" button. Nothing. sigh So, for the heck of it, I then clicked the "Restore" button (isn't the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results??), only this time the "restore" progress text began including things like "checking software" and "checking restore" or something like that -- text I hadn't seen before. And lo, the restore appears to have taken! The iPod mounted. I'm syncing it now -- fresh, not from a saved profile. Software 1.1.4 with the Software Upgrade. Whether it will "take" and the thing won't just conk out on me tomorrow again and demand restoration yet again, well, that's another matter, but I have not seen ANYTHING about clicking on the grey "Check for Update" button in ANY of the instructions I've encountered before, so I needed to post this while I was feeling optimistic. -
Can not restore iPod touch -error #1604
So here is the situation:
I have a 32GB iPod 2G and two days ago I tried to upgrade the software to 3.1 and because the backup was taking so long I let it run overnight. Yesterday morning I noticed an error showing (can't remember what it said exactly) saying the update failed.
Ever since my iPod is only telling me to connect it to iTunes which is telling me that I have to restore my iPod but trying so always fails and iTunes tels me that error #1604 occured (all the time!!)
I already tried every last advice I found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275 including using a different PC ,other cables / ports etc.
I would be grateful for any helpI had this exact same problem. I was able to solve it by connecting to one of the USB ports on my Mac instead of using the powered USB hub that I had been using. I notice you say you've tried different ports, have you tried on of the ports directly on your Mac (or PC)?

My wife's nano no longer is recognized by Windows but my ipod touch is? How can I fix this?
My wife's nano no longer is recognized by Windows but my ipod touch is? How can I fix this?
My iPod touch is always recognized by my Vista Box...using the same USB cable and port my wife's nano isn't detected anymore. Since Vista can't see the nano iTunes can't see it either. When I try my wife's nano I get the message:
"One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows doesn't recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message"
I thought her nano wasn't charged enough but I've charged it for hours and this doesn't make a difference. It used to synch like my ipod touch but it stopped working about a week ago. My wife's nano still holds songs and works it just can't be recognized by Windows. I even checked if the Apple Mobile Device app was running and it was and I stopped it and restarted it. Didn't make any difference. Any ideas? -
I tried to sync my Macbook Pro photos in iPhoto with my iPod Touch. I have done this numerous times, but today I got an error message saying the required file cannot be found. At the same time all of my photos on my iPod vanished. Can anyone help me?
Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

All I know is that my itunes has not been updated. If this is the problem, I tried to close and reopen the program but the "update" popup isn't popping up anymore and I'm not sure where I can manually update it myself.
Please help!

Failed to restore iPod touch (Error code 9)
Few days after upgarding my iPod touch to iOS 5, I got a message on the iPod saying I need to connect to iTunes.
After connecting to teh iPod to the PC, the iTunes says I need to restore the device.
I tried to restore few times with no success - each time the follwoing message is displayed:
"The iPod could not be restored. An unkown error occured (9)".
How can I restore the iPod back to normal operation ?
RoyTry this, copied from Update and restore error messages on iPhone and iPod touch
Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation 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 was microwive and i need to fix but i do not want to pay
my ipod was microwive and i need to fix but i do not want to pay
First of all this is a user to user forum
So we don't fix anything here
You are going to have to take it to Apple and pay for the replacement
If you didn't stick it in the microware, get the person that stuck it in there to pay for it

HT3743 Alright! But i need help to unjailbreak my iPod Touch now. I need assistance. Please help me!
I need help to unjailbreak my iPod Touch now. I need assistance. Please help me!
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.
Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that it "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file." Then I select "OK" and the next message comes up "Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked, you do not have the necessary permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock this file. I installed all of the programs on the same day from a CD. I need this fixed immediately.
I am not interested in switching to Creative Cloud, so don't even suggest it. I spoke to Mashmi (or something to that effect) on the "Support" Chat and there was absolutely no support. Useless actually.
Thanks in advance.Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. (…) | Mylen…
