Ipod Touch Recovery Mode Loop - Error Code 14

I attempted to update my Ipod Touch (3rd Gen 32 GB) to the latest firmware (IOS 5 i think). It froze during the process and has since been stuck in a Recovery Mode loop. I have followed all recommendations on their website, called Apple support and re-installed all Apple related software, and even been to the Genius Bar in our local Apple shop, and it still broken!! They said that as it was out of Warranty (six months) and had a 'Hardware fault' i could buy a replacement for £120. I tried to argue with the shop staff and higher level customer support staff on the phone that my Ipod was working just fine before attempting to update the firmware so how could it be a hardware fault??
Is it just me or the fact that as soon as the one year warranty is up, Apple expect you to replace your faulty item with a new one. So much for good quality goods, can we expect Apple products to last just over a year and then be expected to buy a replacement!!
Isn't the fact that i have been offered a new Ipod Touch 32GB for only £120 pounds an admission that the product has some fault issues??
Anyone else in this position?
Any ideas how to fix the problem?
Anyone else disappointed with Apple Customer Support?

Are you sure it is 1043? I've never seen that error before. But you can try disabling your security software, connecting the phone to a USB port directly on the computer (not a hub), and trying to restore again.

ITunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode loop

Hello,
I have an Ipod 5 and during update of the OS to the latest, the process got an error.
No my Ipod is in recovery mode. Everytime I download the Update (Restore and update) there is this constant pop up that comes up (iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode).
I click ok everytime but then after 5h download there is the Processing file part which when I click ok on the pop that constantly keeps coming after some it, all stops and I need to restart the process again for 5h. Keeps going on like that.
Its really annoying stuck in an update like that which only a minor patch. I can't use my ipod for days now.
Could you please help.
Thanks
Jérémie

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

'iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode' loop. Help?

On Friday I plugged in my iPod touch (4g) to download the new ios 5 (from 4.3.5), but about when it reached about 4 minutes remaining, the error message 'iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore the iPod before using it with iTunes.' appeared. I've tried restoring it about 10 times now, the closest being just 2 seconds away from finishing.
The iPod has the screen on the usb pointing to the iTunes symbol.
It does NOT show up under computer, or under disk management, so I don't know if i can change the drive letter. If there are alternatives, please let me know!
I've tried using another computer and different users - all of which comes up with the same error, so I'm thinking that it is the iPod that is the issue.
When i attempt to restore it it says it should take around 15 minutes, but usually the error comes up within the last 5 minutes.
The iPod info just says Name: iPod
                                  Capacity: n/a
                                  Software version: n/a
                                  Serial number: n/a
Really don't know what to do, any help is appreciated.

Unfortunately not yet. Any thoughts on this are useful...

During sync, iPod touch 2nd gen shows error code for 2 apps: 0xe8008001

In attempting to sync my iPod 2nd Gen, two games - JellyCar 3 and TreesofDoom will not sync and the message: The app "jelly car 3" was not installed on the ipod touch because an unknown error occured (0xe8008001). I have not been able to locate this specific error on the support site.Any help is certainly appreciated

Sounds like this:
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.

IPod in Recovery Mode Loop, Restore Does Not Work

When I turn my iPod on it says "Connect to your computer. Use iTunes to restore." I connect it to iTunes, restore it and then it says that it is still in recovery mode and needs to be restored.
Nothing I've tried has worked. I've put it in disk mode, I've changed the drive letter so Windows doesn't confuse it with anything else. I tried to go to the Genius bar but they were so backed up the only appointment I could get was for 8pm tomorrow!
Hopefully someone can help!

I've got the same problem with my iPod nano 3rd generation. I'll connect it to iTunes, and it says that an iPod has been detected in recovery mode, and it'll ask me to keep it connected to the computer. It'll then prepare it for recovery, and then tell me there's been an iPod detected in recovery mode. It'll perform this loop several times before I'm given the option to restore it, in which the iPod displays an old version of the iPod interface (I'm talking 1st or 2nd generation of the classic iPod).
Once I'm given the option to restore, it says "Extracting software", finishes, and says that the iPod is being restarted, and then starts with the "iTunes needs to prepare your iPod for recovery. Please leave your iPod connected." loop once again.
I would really prefer to not have to drive to the Apple store to get this problem fixed...

Stuck in recovery mode. Error code 9

My iPod was fine but I went to go restore it on my computer to delete everything so I plugged it in and clicked restore, It said "Would you like to restore and update?" So I clicked yes. After iTunes downloaded the 4.2.1 firmware and my iPod went into recovery mode it extracted the firmware, started to put it on my iPod, then when it would "Verify iPod" or whatever it would go back to the recovery mode screen that says "Connect to iTunes" and on iTunes it would tell me it couldn't restore with error 9.
I've tried a different USB port, different cable, different computer, the thing where you remove itunes remove quicktime and the itunes helper etc and then reinstall it all.
I keep trying and over and over I get "error 9"

I had the same thing happen. After reinstalling itunes and trying lots of things with Applecare over the phone, they put in a repair order and are sending me the packaging to send it in with. The computer could see the phone, but the phone didn't recognize that it was connected to Itunes.

Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

IPhone 4s stuck in recovery mode. Error code (-1).

I recently bought my iPhone 4s from a guy (who bought it from someone else). He sold it to me pretty cheap because when he bought it, one of his friends tried to restore it for him and it got stuck in recovery mode. I have no idea if the phone has ever been "tampered with" or not. He didn't seem to know much about it (said it was his first smartphone) and I thought I might have a chance of fixing it. I'm starting to lose faith in that...I've tried almost everything I can find. I know there are tricks for this all over the internet and I've tried almost all of them. TinyUmbrella does nothing, Redsn0w won't even install on my computer (frustrating!). Trying to restore from iTunes is useless. It gets to about 90% then comes up with error code (-1) and gives up. I've tried that route probably 20 times with no change. I know I could take it into Apple and they could look at it, but I have no information on the phone itself. I cannot get the serial number. Does anyone have any suggestions at all? I'll try anything that doesn't require me taking it to Apple and getting charged more than I paid for the phone to fix it....I run Windows 7.
Thanks so much!

Hi there...
Actually I was stuck with this situation yesterday. Here is what I did to overcome this issue: I hope it helps.
To start with, here are few things to you should make sure of:
1- You have the latest version of iTunes. You may try to uninstall and reinstall iTunes.
2-Restart your Windows.
If still no luck, try editing the Hosts file, here is how;
1- click on RUN then copy and paste the following:
notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
2- look for gs.apple.com
3- if there are numbers infront of it just delete them or just type # before the numbers.
4- Save the file and try restoring again.
Note: you should have administror access to edit the Hostes file.
put your iphone in DFU mode before restoring.
I hope this helps. It did for me

Security Vulnerability in iPhone 3GS/iPod Touch Recovery Mode

Part of the appeal of the iPhone 3GS and related 2009 iPod Touch models is the built in hardware encryption, but a well-publiced attack (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHdNoKIZUCw) by iPhone Forensics specialist Jonathan Zdziarski means that the encryption can be circumvented by putting the device into Recovery Mode, as there can allow the installation of a custom kernel WITHOUT authentication (Passcode or equivalent) being invoked (http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/07/iphone_encrypti.html#c386843).
There is a rumour that a fix for this missing authentication was included in the iPhoneOS 3.0.1 "SMS" patch, but I can find no documentation that it was included in that patch, nor any other statement as to whether this has been resolved.
I am working with clients who would be interested in replacing aging PocketPC based PDAs with a mix of iPhones and iPod Touches, but would not be interested in buying a platform with such an egregious security design issue unresolved.
Any further information would be welcome.
Thanks!
Bill
