TS1363 My Itunes says that my Ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored but then it doesn't restore because of an error 1600! What do I do?

Help me please!

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.

    I forgot my password and am trying to reset my ipod, but it won't work.It says that my ipod is in recovery mode and that I must restore it. I click ok, and then click on restore and update. Then it says connecting ipod software update server and a screen pops up with ipod software update on the top and iOS 5.1. It lists a bunch of stuff this update contains and on the bottom it says next, which I click and nothing happens, it just goes back to the ipod restore page. Help, what am I doing wrong?

    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

  • HT201210 I downloaded the latest update to itunes.  I am now getting a message that my ipod is on recovery mode and needs to be restored.  When I click to restore, it says it does not recognize the device.

    I downloaded the latest version of itunes.  I am now getting the message that my ipod is in recovery and needs to be restored.  When I click to restore, it says it does not recognize this device.  Now my ipod is frozen with an image of a cord and an arrow pointing toward the itunes icon.  All was working fine before the download!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • When i put my iphone on charge or try to turn it on it says connect to itunes when i do that it says that my phone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored!

    Someone please help me, i really dont want to restore my iphone as i have really important things on it, the phone has not been backed up in a long while..
    i dont know how this happend but i was trying to update tmy iphone like 2 days ago but the update didnt end up completing due to the battery percentage being below 50, anyways i ignored the update and thought id do it later, yesterday i got notifications saying that the phone will continue the update and restart in a few minutes or something along those lines i had the option to click restart later or something like that so i clicked on that, later on my phone died and i put it on charge, as it was turning on the apple logo came up with the dowload bar underneath it, you know when you update or restore your phone and it loads, it was like that, it was taking forever, like it took so long that i removed my phone from the charger and it just froze for a bit then turned off, when i tried turning it on again it told me to connect to itunes so i did and now its telling me that my phone is recovery mode and it needs to be restored!! Is there any way i could fix this problem without restoring my phone?
    Thank you

    Hey saandyy,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    You can try to restart the iPhone to exit recovery mode.
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

    Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.

  • HT4623 i restored my ipod but it keeps telling me that my ipod is in recovery mode and to restore it again.

    I restored my ipod touch but when i connect it with itunes it hkeeps saying that my ipod is on recovery mode and have to restore it again. What should i do?

    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.

  • IPod classic: itunes tells me that my ipod is in recovery mody and needs to be restored. It then says that when it is restored that it will appear in the left sidebar however it never does. any ideas why??

    I haven't used my iPod in a few months so I charged it up, updated my itunes and everything was going fine. However when I connected the iPod to the computer and went into itunes, a message kept popping up telling me my iPod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. I clicked on the restore option then a message telling me my ipod had been restored popped up, it also said that my iPod would appear on the left sidebar of itunes once it had restarted and to leave it connected to the computer. The apple symbol appeared on the iPod and it appeared to be restarting. While I waited for the iPod to show up in itunes it turned itself on, after another few minutes the original message popped up telling me that the iPod needs to be restored. I have tried this many times but to no avail. I have also carried out numerous procedures said to solve this problem including changing the letter of the iPod drive but still nothing works!!! I don't know what else to do!! Has any experienced the same problem? Any ideas on how to get this working??

    AT this point whatever data you have on yoru phone is already gone since it is in recovery mode. 
    However you can restore from your backup, when your phone reboots from recovery.
    YOu do have a backup right?

    When I connect my Ipod Video on my desktop, Itunes says that it is in Recovery Mode and I should restore it to use it. I've tried adding songs to it just to see what happens, and ITunes crashes.
    But when I connect it to any other computer, it works fine.

  • Ipod will not turn on, itunes will not open, window says ipod is in recovery mode and needsto be restored

    ipod will not turn on, itunes will not open, window pops up says ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. what do i do now?

    You restore the iPod via iTunes. Don't plug the iPod in. Open up iTunes and then plug it in and then try restoring, if it fails to restore a few times, keep trying. I do it on a daily basis, you're using an Apple product, remember...
    EDIT: Do it from another computer if all else fails.

  • My itunes tells me my ipod is in recovery mode Please help

    my itunes tells me my ipod is in recovery mode and i need to restore it. when i restore it it gives me the same message. ive tried trestoring it numerous times. i dont know what to do. im an ipod junkie, and ive been without my ipod for at least 6 months now.

    Make an appointment and take the iPod to your nearest Apple store now, if it's still under warranty.
    This is important; did you or did you not save you downloads and do a full remove or re-install of iTunes?
    If it's not then matters can get drastic (and expensive) so check that out first.
    Post back so we know what's going on.

    Same thing happened here ~ tech guy at a local authorized Apple repair store said it had something to do with improper backup from which the restore would be made. Still have a phone that asks to be connected to Itunes but won't do anything else . . . frustrated.

    The messages are saying you have a 2G iPOd.  Those canonly go to 4.2.1.  Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPOd. A 32 can be either.  To further identify yours:

  • My itunes says that my ipod is synced with another library when it is not and cannot update or sync without wiping it and all its data

    My itunes says that my ipod is synced with another library when it is not and cannot update or sync without wiping it and all its data
    Can anyone help me

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPod without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    All media content will be erased during the first sync, but you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
