Ipod touch stuck in restore mod after update

hi i have windows 8 release preview. i tried to update my 8gb ipod touch 4th gen and not its stuck in restore mod loop. but i have a 32gb ipod touch 4th gen that sync's to itunes just fine. ive tried the home and lock button, RecBoot to push it out of restore mod, iRecovery to push it out of restore mod and nothing works. i keep getting error 1603 and 1611. it comes up on itunes and says it needs to be restored. please help

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1603
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
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 If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue.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. .
Also, it could be due to an incompatiblity with iTunes and the pre-release Windows 8 version.

Iphone 3gs in restore mode since update to ios4 - error -29

I updated my non-jailbroken iphone 3gs today to the ios 4 system (or tried to), but the phone is stuck in restore mode and won't respond. The computer gives error code -29 as the reason, which is a miscellaneous hardware problem? Ideas?

I'm having the same issue, usually resulting with error 29, but occasionally a different #. I had the same trouble with my last update and I fixed it using some goofy hack someone linked to: http://www.ihackintosh.com/2009/07/irecovery-iphone-recovery-mode-loop-restart/
Just tried it with no luck.

IPad stuck in restore mode after update to iOS 8.02

I attempted to do this yesterday and after the update was extracted I kept getting an Unknown error 3104. I tried everything form editing the hosts file in Windows 8.1, disabling my Anti-Virus. Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, resetting my router, etc, etc but nothing worked!!! This was very distressing for me as I couldn't use the iPad!!
This morning I tried one last thing. I Downloaded iTunes on another Windows 8.1 PC I have and connected the iPad to it. It detected that it was in Restore mode and download the update from Apple and finally restored the iPad to factory settings!! After this I connected the iPad back on my original PC and restore it to how it was from the last backup made yesterday. Phew!! Apple should say something like this for other users or at least provide some way to get out of restore mode if an update fails or becomes corrupt!!

Apple does make the suggestion to try another computer and another Internet connection for that very same error code that you got.
Restore or update on another computer
Try to restore or update on another computer with a different Internet connection. This will help rule out other issues on your computer that might stop iTunes from communicating with the update server.
Errors 1639, 3000-3020, and 3100-3999 (with the exception of 3194) are sometimes caused by your network settings. If your computer uses a managed network, refer to your network administrator. Proxies, firewalls, and other network security measures can cause these errors. If necessary, find a different network connection to restore the device. For example, if you're restoring at work, try to restore at home or on a friend's computer and network.

Try a hard reset: hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

My updated iPhone 3GS from 4.2.1 to 6.0.1 is stuck in restore mode

Hi,
I've got a problem with my iPhone 3GS, which is stuck in restore mode.
I've done theses steps :
Update iTunes to the last version on my Windows7
Connect my iphone and synchronize for the first time
Manually backup my data with iTunes (more than 4000 pictures, messages, ...)
Accept to download and update to iOS 6.0.2 from iTunes
iTunes backup my data once again and starts the iOS update
When my iPhone is updated, restore process starts and craches with an "Error -10" message.
The iPhone is fully functional but completely empty. I check this page - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946 but can't find my backup.
If I check this path \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ or use iTunes to find backups, the only are made by itunes with iOS 6. Old backupswith iOS 4.2.1 have disappeared.
How can I retsore my iphone ?

That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

Hello Meysam321,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with your device. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
Check for hardware issues
Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Ipod touch (2G) stuck in "restore" mode. Need HELP please

I have contacted Apple support several times since Friday and was just hung up on by an extremely rude lady in customer support. I am really frustrated and just trying to get my 5 yr old little boys ipod touch working again.
The situation is that our son's old computer crashed. So we have a newer computer set up for him. Reinstalled itunes on it. Called Apple on Friday, really nice rep gave me several instructions for transfering purchases, making sure everything was up to date and turning home sharing on. Did all that, got off the phone with him and then the computer tells me that the ipod needs and update.
Clicked ok, and update starts going for a few minutes.....then get an error message that says that the ipod is basically stuck in "restore" mode and needs to be reset to factory settings. It won't let me do anything to the ipod. It won't restore, reset, anything. Just shows a picture of usb cable and says to connect to itunes.
Connect to itunes and it keeps giving me say error message.
Will someone please help me? Apple support sure won't.

Did you try to connect in recovery mode, to start the restore process again? Connecting in Recovery mode is explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Also delete the ipod ipsw firmware file on your computer, to make iTunes download a new copy to restore from. Depending on your OS, this file can be found here:
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
Vista and 7: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
If you're getting error numbers, take a look at this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
