Ipod Touch Restore Error 2006

I downloaded ipod touch 3.1 and since then itunes keeps requesting me to restore but have been unsuccessful. I keep receiving "ipod could not be restored. An unknown error 2006."
I've been through all of apple.com/support and have been unsucessfull with all the recommendations. My ipod looks like this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
Does anyone have anything useful instead of the generic recommendations (unplug, restart, reinstall, etc...)?
Please help. I would like to listen to my ipod instead of tinker with it every evening!!!

Is your ipod connected directly to the USB port?

Ipod touch restore error 1604 / 1603

Hi, I plugged my new ipod touch into my computer but itunes did not show it, so I was told to restore it and i got an unknown error 1604 (sometimes 1603). I took it back an got a new one, and exactly the same thing has happened!
Can anyone help at all?
Thanks

Ok, A few things to check:
- USB port must be USB 2.0
- iTunes must be updated to 7.4.3.1
- XP must have Service pack 2 installed
If all these are present and correct, try this:
- Unplug all USB devices including iPod Touch
- un-install iTunes
- Re-install iTunes 7.4.3.1
- Restart PC/MAC
- Reset iPod Touch (hold down the sleep button until red slider)
- Restart PC/MAC
- Plug in iPod Touch
iTunes should recognise the device. If not there's something else you can do:
- Unplug all USB devices including iPod Touch
- un-install iTunes
- un-install Apple mobile device driver
- Re-install iTunes 7.4.3.1
- Restart PC/MAC
- Reset iPod Touch (hold down the sleep button until red slider)
- Restart PC/MAC
- Plug in iPod Touch
If that desn't work, take it to an Apple store, to evoke your worldwide 1 year warrenty.
Hope this helps/helped.

IPod touch restore error 1604

My iPod touch has been working well for some weeks. When I tried to connect it to my PowerBook yesterday it downloaded a new version of iTunes. Since then it is in restore mode and has an "unknown error 1604". This continues after re-installing iTunes on my Powerbook. Who can help?

Thanks, but I don't do windows.
What I have done is delete the file iPod1,11.1.2_3B48bRestore.ipsw from ~/Library/iTunes/Software Update/ and reload it (3 times now - I am persistent).
I also recovered two different versions of iPod1,11.1.1_3A110aRestore.ipsw, but it unpacks to a folder, and I can not get it to change Kind into "iPod Software Update File".
Note I have been doing this on a older Power PC machine running 10.4.11 (I have a lot of expensive legacy software in Classic). Next step is to try this with a newer Mac G4 dual core.
Anyone have any other ideas?

Ipod touch, restore error 13. please help

After ipod touch refused to sync, decided to restore. Restore never finshed and i got an error 13 message. Using Windows XP, Have tried logging into a new user account and repeating process but still getting same error. Has my new ipod just become a paper weight?

I don't know about a Mac, but with a Windows PC it recognizes the iPod as a different device if you plug it in to a different usb port. If you plug the ipod into the new usb port and check Device Manager (right click My Computer, select Hardware Tab, and click Device Manager button). The Touch should show up under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" as something like "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver". See what it shows up as and then unplug it and plug it in to the original usb port, holding the shift key until it shows up in iTunes (or you get the error message). Check what it is showing up as in Device Manager. If it showed up using a different name, then delete the device. Then unplug and replug the usb cable and see if it shows up as the correct device when it is detected. Of course if you don't have a problem with sticking with the new usb port you could just do that...

If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.
Also, have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?

TS3694 iPod touch gets error -1303 when attempting to restore after update (W7)

iPod touch gets error -1303 when attempting to restore after update (W7). This error is not shown anywhere in the specific list. Have done all recommended recovery methods (reboot, update iTunes, restart iPod) to no avail. What is next?

Usually the 1303 error is in regards to a corrupted or missing backup of your iPod Touch. Try removing or moving the backups to another location and then try to restore your iPod once again.

How can I fix error 14 in my iPod Touch restore?

When I try to restore and update my iPod Touch, appears Error 14 in my iTunes interface. How can I fix that error?

Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

Hi msclaude,
Welcome to the Support Communities! I'm not sure from your post what steps you have tried, but it sounds like you may need to use recovery mode to address the issue with your unresponsive iPod touch.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201263
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You can put your iOS device into recovery mode, then restore it using iTunes.
Use recovery mode
You might need to use recovery mode to restore your device in these cases:
iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode.
You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
You see the Connect to iTunes screen.
Learn what to do if you see the progress bar onscreen for several minutes.
To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:
Turn off your device and leave it off.
Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes.
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.
When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup.Get more help
Learn what to do if you don't see your device in iTunes for OS X, or in iTunes for Windows.
If you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.
I hope this information helps ....

When I plug in my iPod Touch a error pops up saying 'iTunes could not connect this iPhone. An unknown error occurred (0xE8000084)." What do I do??

My ipod is exactly 2 years old, and it has nothing to do with the cable connecting it to the computer for all I know.

See:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting

So my Ipod Touch restored for some reason, and it doesnt show any of the apps i bought on iTunes. How do I make them come back?

Ipod touch 2nd error 0xE8004002

*When I sincro my ipod touch apear error 0xE8004002 don't permit update the music in it?*

I have not had that error, but others who have report this fixes it:
1)Navigate to <username>/Pictures/iPhoto Library
2)Remove the folder iPod Photo cache (delete it, move it to Trash or whatever you want - just remove it from the iPhoto Library)
3)Sync your ipod.
Alternatively, you could turn off sync for photos and have all pics deleted from the ipod. Afterwards sync and add photos again.
Hope that solves your problem. Let us know.

Error (14) and (9) during iPod Touch Restore process

I am getting the following error when trying to restore my iPod Touch in iTunes:
"The iPod, "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (14)." Sometimes I also get error code (9) as well.
I have the latest version of iTunes and have tried 2 different cables and 2 different computers.
All security software is up-to-date.
This all started a few days ago when my iPod would just freeze, then the main light would flash and it would shut itself off.
I then tried to do the restore process within iTunes.
Now, whenever I connect my iPod, I get the following message:
iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
When I click 'OK", I will get the option to "Restore". I then begin the restore process.
First it says: Extracting Software
Then it says: Preparing iPod for Restore
Then it says: Verifying iPod restore with Apple
Then it says: Waiting for iPod
Then it says: Preparing iPod software for restore...
Then the iPod flashes and resets itself and I get one of the two error codes (9 or 14).
There are lots of articles up here with the same issue but no resolution...has anyone ever found one?
Help!!!

Hello MrsJoeJonas
