Need Restore Help!!

I updated to 3.1.1 on my ipod 2nd gen. Touch (never should have done it). Now when Touch powers of (goes into sleep or turned off for more than 30 seconds)cannot turn back on (have to hold power and home keys for ten seconds--all saved data is lost). If plugged into itunes when ipod is on, sync is fine. When plugged in after power off itunes says "ipod is in restore mode and needs to be restored". It is a constant loop. Itunes is up to date with version 9, and roughly fifteen attempts to restore and/or make ipod new does not fix problem. Is this a software prob. or hardware? Ipod was FINE before I paid ($4.98) now its virtually unusable. Help.

THis should solve your problem. Pay attention to the IPOD Service Running part. If this is not corrected then your Updater will not work: Here's the link..

Try doing a level reformat of the iPod's flash storage instead to see if that kills the restore loop using the instructions in the article below.

In the article Resolve iOS update and restore errors this is what it says about error 14:
Check your USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014, or “invalid response."
If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
Try a different computer.
If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.

Restore help needed please.

I need help. I got a new iPhone today and I went to iTunes, pressed restore, because I didn't know what else to do.
And now because it was logged in under my boyfriends apple ID my iPhone is my boyfriends iPhone too.
How do I turn it back to mine!? I need urgent help please!

Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Contents and Settings. Now this time, select Set Up as New iPhone rather than Restore from Backup.

YOur phone is in recovery mode, any data that was on there is already gone, you will have to restore your phone and use whatever backup you to restore to.

Not much you can do. You overwrote your current data with older data when you restored the phone from that backup. Your data's gone.

IPHONE SUDDENLY NEEDED RESTORING, CANNOT ACCESS PASSWORD SCREEN..... help

my phone needed restoring but i cannot do so because my phone is locked. and itunes can't connect when a phone is locked. i pressed the home and power button, restarted it, each time i see the itunes sign with the disconnected iphone cord. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME, I CAN'T USE MY PHONE

Connect your iPhone to your computer. Then press and hold both the sleep button and the home button for about 30 seconds or so. It should then show a message in iTunes that the phone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. Just be aware this does erase everything in the phone, but it will get you back up and running again.

Stop being impatient.
From the article that the question was posted from:
Errors related to downgrading iOS
The required resource cannot be found: This alert message occurs when your device has a newer version of iOS than what is available in iTunes. When troubleshooting a device that presents this alert message, go to Settings > General > About and check the version of iOS on the device. If it is newer than the latest released iOS version, the device may have a prerelease developer version of iOS installed. Installing an older version of iOS over a newer version is not supported.
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.
You cannot downgrade.
If you have a 3GS, you can only install iOS 6.1.3 which is the current version of iOS for the device.

HT201210 I tried to update to IPad 5.1, but when it finished and tried to restore the backup, it shows me that Itunes could not back up because a session could not be started with iPad. need your help please

This has happened to me a couple of times and what I do is quit iTunes and restart my Mac and then try again and then it will work.
If iTunes has already created the backup, you should still be able to restore from the backup when you are connected to iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes and select restore from backup. After the process completes, sync with iTunes to transfer all of your apps, music, photos and other media back onto the iPad.

You have to restore the iPad by syncing to the original computer that you synced to.
This article explains the process.

IMPORTANT OPENED WINDOWS I WAS WORKING ON (EMPLOYMENT INFO, I AM UNEMPLOYED!) AND NOW THEY ARE GONE AND I CANNOT GET THEM BACK!! YOU NEED TO HELP ME RESTORE TH

My Firefox crashed with important information on it!!!
My Firefox has been crashing every day sometimes several times a day. I have emailed your staff back many times looking for a reason for the crashed without any response. I have been able to get by because I would restore the settings and continue what I was doing. WELL….this last crash has disappeared from any way of getting it back and IT HAD SOME REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT OPENED WINDOWS I WAS WORKING ON (EMPLOYMENT INFO, I AM UNEMPLOYED!) AND NOW THEY ARE GONE AND I CANNOT GET THEM BACK!! YOU NEED TO HELP ME RESTORE THAT OPEN WINDOWS FOR ME. IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT!! I NEED SOME DESPERATE HELP NOW!!
Thanks,
Nick

Nick, sorry to hear about that. I'm not sure where you are sending the emails, but if you use the form to submit your crash information, that goes into a database for review by the developers instead of coming to the support volunteers here.
Did you try the History > Restore Previous Session command? Firefox sometimes saves form data in the session history. This data may age out, so you should use that menu item as soon as possible.
Going forward, consider installing the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lazarus-form-recovery/ Lazarus: Form Recovery] extension if you are filling long forms and Firefox is unstable.
With respect to the crashes, there are many possible reasons for Firefox to crash. Have you reviewed the help articles for diagnosis? For example: [[Firefox crashes - Troubleshoot, prevent and get help fixing crashes]].

HT4528 Please any help! My phone needs restored...I'm losing all pics of my kids :'(

Hello all,
My phone went completely dead and will not turn back on. The only pic it is showing is the USB cable and the itunes logo above. Upon going to itunes, it tells me my phone needs restored. However, I'm going to lose all my pictures of my children. I am literally sick about this! I have Icloud but don't believe anything was ever backed up since I was rarely around Wifi. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Sorry, but the only way to get back into the device is to restore it.
If you do have an iCloud backup (or iTunes backup), you can restore from it once you have the device active again. Without a backup, yes, you are going to loose what is on the device - this sort of unexpected error is exactly why backups are so important and need to be done regularly.
