IPod touch in recovery mode but there are no backups for the restore

I recently switched from a Mac to a PC. When I connected my iPod touch to the PC, it errored trying to do a backup and no backup was created. My iPod is now in recovery mode and when I try to restore I get this error message: 'The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (6).' What can I do?

Did you try to reset the ipod by holding the sleep and home button until you see the Apple logo?
Is your ipod charging if you use the adapter? If yes, charge it and try again to connect in recovery mode.
In order to pass the passcode you'll have to restore your ipod "as new ipod" because the passcode info is saved in your backup. Restoring and backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

Try DFU mode instead.

My iPhone is in recovery mode, But once it's done with the process a tab comes up saying there was something wrong restoring it (1015) error. Any suggestions of how I could fix this?

My iPhone is in recovery mode, But once it's done with the process a tab comes up saying there was something wrong restoring it (1015) error. Any suggestions of how I could fix this?

Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
In other words:
The backup to which you're trying to restore was created with a lower or previos version of iOS than the one installed on your iPhone during the recovery. If this is the case then you'll be unable to restore your phone with that backup and you'll have to set your iPhone up as new. Or,
Your iPhone was/is jailbroken. If this is the case, there is nothing anyone here or at Apple can do for you.

Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase completely without having to go over it multiple times?
It started randomly about two weeks ago and I thought it was a glitch that would just go away. But now I am getting sick of using only the block eraser on one size. Help?

The easiest thing to start with is to reset the Eraser Tool.
Right click on the Eraser icon in the tool options bar and then click on Reset Tool.

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

I do not have the pages icon on the bottom right of Safari ios 7. When I press the plus sign at the top right I see 'private' on the bottom left side but there are no buttons on the bottom right at all. I am trying to get Safari to have the tab Rolodex

I am super frustrated with Safari in ios 7. I do not have the pages icon on the bottom right of Safari ios 7. When I press the plus sign at the top right I see 'private' on the bottom left side but there are no buttons on the bottom right at all. I am trying to get Safari to have the tab Rolodex look of the tabbed windows. So I can see the pages. Hope this is making sense. Why am I not seeing the pages button on the bottom right of Safari?
Thanks!

Bummer! Hopefully this will change in the future. At least I know now that I am not crazy for not seeing the pages icon! Thanks so much :)

Did you happen to install Cydia or what they refer to as jailbreaker recently?

My wifi network is 802.11n but there are times changing for 802.11g, and have to restart ... after the update for Mountain Lion... Help!!!
Several problems with Mountain Lion, APP STORE (login/logout error), WIFI(802.11n for 802.11g), MAIL (horrible)... Apple, what is happening?

Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

Under Options , Applications There are multiple entries for the same item (Acrobat Document). how can I delete the duplicates?

Under Options, Applications there are multiple entries for the same item. (Adobe Acrobat) . Three show Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.3 and the other shows (ask) or (save file) with no ability to select Acrobat Reader . Is there a way to edit this list to remove the duplicates and
the incorrect entry? Adobe installed a very quick update today.

They are all different. Hover your mouse pointer over each of the "Content Type" descriptions and you should see a "tooltip" to see that each has a different description.
You need to update your plugins. It is important to keep them updated due to continuing security fixes and improvements in those plug-ins:
