TA38633 I get error 1601 when trying to restore my ipod HELP!

i have uninstalled and re installed itunes and mobile device helper help!

Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). 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 error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone 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.

    Why am i getting error 9006 when trying to restore my ipod 5th generation?

    Configure your security software
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Common errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.

  • TS1441 I continue to get error 1430 when trying to restore my ipod classic

    A couple of days ago the battery drained very quickly.  I also found that some songs although apparently on the ipod did not play. When I attempted to synch first time I was told that I did not have the authority to make changes.  I eventually went the restore route but on my two macs get the 1430 message.  (and it seems as if the battery has drained again?) My ipod is 5th generation classic.
    Thanks for any help and a Happy Christmas!

    Then tell us what error message you are getting?

    If the file was not originally from iTunes, you'll need to redownload it from it's original source or rerip it from the CD.  Files can sometimes go bad and become corrupted.  As to how or why that happens, there are a number of ways.
    What format are the problematic tracks in? Have you tried converting them to another format in iTunes?

  • Getting error -34 when trying to restore my ipad

    I am getting an error (-34) when trying to restore my backup to my ipad after update to ios 5.  Seems to be the same issue as:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3374362
    I have plenty of free space on my 64gb ipad but the settings keep getting defaulted to not downsample my music to 128kb.  that would over fill my device. I have been on the phone with apple for over an hour with no end in sight.  I have lost many data files including a recorded meeting from this week.
    If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them.
    Thanks,
    RA

  • I'm getting the apparently "deadly" error 3149 when trying to restore my Ipod Touch 4g

    A few days ago I tried to update my Ipod Touch (4th Generation) to the newest software. I pressed update and the apple logo with a loading bar underneath it appeared then the bar got about halfway and all of the sudden went into recovery mode. I followed some steps online to get it out of recovery mode, didn't work. So then I decided to just restore it. I tried restoring directly from Itunes but Itunes never finished the download (tried 3 times). Each time it gave me a different error. So I downloaded the 0.6.1 firmware online (*though it was a 840mb download and the file only says it's 839mb, weird)and tried using the Shift + Restore method. It extracted it then said "Verifying" then gave me the error 3149. I went online, yet again and followed some steps dealing with the "Hosts" file. No luck. I've also tried putting it in DFU mode, no luck.
    I should also mentioned that my Ipod is Jailbroken. It was given to me like that when I got it for my B-Day. I never use anything with Cidia or whatever so I think Jailbreaking is pretty useless but I think this is worth mentioning because it could be what's causing the problem, but I don't know if it has anything to with it for sure. I've been told that restoring it will get rid of the stupid Jailbreak but I can't restore it now can I?
    Please give me some advice, any advice that I haven't tried already would be helpful. I just want to actually use my Ipod! Why's it so hard to do things?!?
    Also, no idea what operating system it was before the craziness happened. I can't check right now either. :/

    Did you mean 3194

  • KEEP GETTING ERROR 28 WHEN TRYING TO RESTORE 3GS

    3GS LOCKED UP;  KEEP GETTING ERROR 28 MESSAGE WHEN TRY TO RESTORE

    Error 29 can relate to security software on your computer. Disable your security software, or try to restore it on another computer. In the case that it still doesn't work on a completely different computer and network, it may be a hardware issue at which point you would need to take it to a Genius Bar.

  • HT201210 am getting an ''unknown error (1)'' when trying to restore my iPod touch, what is the solution

    I restored my ipod touch (old version, silver back cover) but after erasing all the memory in it, Itunes showed me an error message ......The Ipod ''Ipod'' could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1)....What is the problem or how can I resolve this error?? please assist!!

    This usually indicates a hardware problem.
    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.

  • Getting Error Message When Trying To Burn To DVD HELP!!!!!

    This is the error message I am getting as soon as I click on the "burn" button.
    The following warnings and errors were found during the validation of the current project:
    - There seems to be too much motion menu content in your project. Correct this problem before you continue burning this project.
    Any ideas? Please help ASAP, this project is for my grandpa's birthday and I'm trying to finish quickly!
    ~K

    It's a good idea to check the Project Info (under the Project menu in iDVD) before burning a disc. If any of the Duration bars are in the red, then you need to go back and edit your project. Also check the Encoding type with your total Project Duration: if the project total is under 60 minutes choose "Best Performance;" if it is between 60 and 120 minutes you'll need to select "Best Quality."
    Unless you have freed a lot of GB on your hard drive, iDVD will not be able to burn the disc. You'll need at least 15 -25 GB free on your boot drive in order for the app to do all that encoding. It takes a lot of brainwork to turn a 13+ GB movie project into a 4GB DVD file.
    When your project is ready to burn, choose File > Save as Disc Image. This tells iDVD to do all the encoding, and will result in a disc image file that you can mount in your DVD Player app to see that all is well. If so, you can quickly burn the disc image with Disc Utility or an app like Toast. If not, then you haven't burned any coasters. Another advantage is that you will be able to burn duplicates of the disc image very quickly, without going through all that encoding again, should other relatives request a copy.
    Regards.

  • I get error 23 when trying to restore my iphone 4

    I tried to update my iPhone 4 to the latest software and it got stuck on the store screen...whenever i plug it into itunes it will go through the process up till it says verifying with apple.

    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

    so this basically means: turn off your firewalls, virusscanners etc, and try again
