TS1538 Ipod Touch stuck in DFU mode, not recognized in itunes after 1602 error restoring.

I've tried all of the: Hold Power button and Home items. It's plugged into the computer, screen is black. Windows sees the apple mobile device driver under devices and hardware. The driver's properties says it's in DFU mode. It was constatnly stuck in Recovery mode showing the CD+music note icon and the 30-pin connector image. Connecting the ipod to the computer, windows makes the connection sound but itunes does not open. Opening itunes, ipod is not recognized.
It's a gen 1 touch, version 2.? firmware, I think.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

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.

Please help, I'm extremely frustrated. ipod is stuck in recovery mode. Connected to different computer to restore and after 75 minutes of downloading get a message that there was a Problem downloading, network connection timed out. Cannot get past "connect to itunes" on ipod.

Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves that error.

Ipod Touch version 4.2.1 not recognized by iTunes

All I'm doing is trying to update the songs on it. I know apps and such will no longer update, but it's ridiculous that I can't plug it in and put some songs on. The iPod Touch version is 4.2.1 and my current itunes is 11.5.1. I'm currently using Mountain Lion so 10.8.5 for the computer version.
If I need to get an earlier version of iTunes, can someone tell me how to get it on there? Do I have to get rid of the current itunes version or what?

The current version of iTunes is bacward compatible with all iPods.

IPod Touch 4G running iOS 6 not recognized by iTunes 10.7

After updating my iPod Touch 4G to iOS 6 from the device itself and then updating iTunes on my PC to 10.7, whenever I connect the iPod Touch, it gives an error saying "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes."
My computer is running on a 64-bit OS, and the version of iTunes I installed is 64-bit. I have already tried the methods given by Apple to fix this (uninstalling iTunes and all other Apple software and reinstall iTunes, running Apple Mobile Support program, etc...). How can I get my iPod Touch to be recognized properly?
*Note: I am still able to update my old iPod Video 5G without a problem*

I agree it it the driver since the diagnostics say:
Apple Mobile Device Driver not found.
Did you try step 5 of:

IPod Touch stuck in DFU mode, broken lock button, will not connect to computer.

I have an iPod 4g running on iOS 6.1.6. The lock button has been broken for little over a year now. But yesterday, my iPod went into DFU mode and will not connect to my computer whatsoever. I have tried everything that Apple tells you to do to try and fix this issue like restarting AMDS, reinstalling iTunes, and even the USB Driver. Nothing has worked, and I would really like some help with this. Thank you very much!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode

Ipod Touch Stuck in Recovery Mode (Not Jailbroken)

I recently had trouble with connecting my ipod touch to my Mac. I would plug my ipod touch into my computer and nothing would happen. I made sure it was not the cable by plugging in my ipod nano, and immediately my computer recognized it. I checked for an update on itunes and I am currently running the most up-to-date software; 9.1.1.
I have recently tried to fix this problem by restoring my ipod. However while attempting to do this an error pops up that says "The Ipod cannot be restored. An Unknown Error Occurred (1611)."
So currently my ipod touch is stuck in restore mode and I cannot get it out of this mode.
Anyone have any ideas?

Ipod touch stuck in recovery mode / not restoring

Went to update my ipod touch, then it came up saying itunes has found an ipod in recovery mode, that I need to restore it.
So I go to restore it, it does it's thing, reaches the end of the bar on the ipod then comes up saying that it couldn't be restored.
Exact message being:
"The ipod could not be restored. An unknown error occured (6)"
So, what do I have to do to get it working?

IPod Touch stuck in DFU mode

I used Grayd00r on my iPod Touch 3G and now it's stuck in a loop where the apple logo comes on & then a spinning wheel. The computer recognizes the iPod but I can't restore it or reset it. Is the iPod Touch completely bricked?

You will not get any help here in this Apple forum
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.

Brand new iPod touch 4gen and it is not recognized by iTunes or computer? Help....

I have an ipod 4gen and when I try to install it to download music from iTunes it is not recognized.....however when I first connected it it asked if I wanted Word to look at my pictures via camera....I wonder if it thinks my device is a camera???? Help pls!!!!!

Ok....now when I get iTunes to see the device it named it what I have named another iPod ?...and used the current serial number of the new iPod touch.....and it says it is synching the iPod touch.....however, it it really backing up onto the cloud and has been doing this for over 9 hours???? I think something might be wrong....or is it really making a backup copy? Really confused if I should just unplug everything and take this stupid thing back to the store....much happier with my nano 16gb :). So much easier to figure out. Btw I synced it and it worked just fine...while doing the backup thing today????? Anyone, any ideas? Thanks.

My iPod touch stuck in recovery mode and can not be detected by my lap top. HELP PLEASE!! Thanks

It stopped chargin and now is not being recognized by my computer, it says that the device has malfunction. It also is stuck in recovery mode but since it is not recognized by my computer it does not appear in iTunes either.

- See if placing the iPod in DFU mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod.

ipod touch stuck in recovery mode, will not restore and comes up with error code 3194, itunes is up to date, please help

Hi @rchangel - Thanks for the ideas...
Yes - it won't let you install the 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine.
I've had a cursory look at the SP1 release notes, and couldn't spot anything vital - what critical stuff do you know of in SP1?
I don't want to have to go through all the pain of setting up VM's, reinstalling iTunes, getting all my album art back in etc. (though I could, as I do have Win7 pro). I've also heard that running iTunes in Windows 7 compatibility mode might help. Can anyone confirm whether that actually works?
I think it's in Apple's gift to fix this issue, given that they say that they support Windows 7. So far I've had no feedback from a mail I sent to Apple, and the number of users reporting this problem keeps going up and up.
I want Apple to recognise that there is a problem, and then I want them to fix it.
