Unable to restore - 1340 error

My wife just bought a new nano to go with our new imac. It swtiched on OK, but problems began when we tried to sync it with iTunes. We plugged it in and there was a bit of difficulty with it being recognized. However once recognized it needed to restore. iTunes downloaded software, I clicked the restore button, the process began, but each time was unable to complete claiming a 1340 error. iTunes is up to date, I have reset the ipod, I even tried it on my old PC. Nothing has worked. Do I just send back the nano? Or is there a way to make it work?
Thanks

Unfortunately I don't have an answer. I'm currently in the middle of a repeat 1349 error. I have an old ipod nano 1st gen. It was working great until I decided to put 4 songs off of a CD on it today. The syncronize button now has the ipod trashed. It also won't restore. I have read various threads. I tried restoring it, uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. Toggling the hold swith on one while trying to restore and off once with the same 1349 error. I would love to take it to a service center but the nearest one is 70 miles away. All I can say at this point, buy a zune.

iPhone is in "ready to restore mode" (showing the connect to iTunes picture)
Am unable to restore the iPhone, when I press restore in iTunes, it prepares the device for restore, then after a while displays Error 1603.

Appreciate any help as I am unable to receive any calls at the moment.
Cheers,

HT4972 What is "Unable to restore unknown error Restore error code 11?

Trying to update an iphone 3gs from ios 4.1 to 5.1. Received the above error cdoe 11 to an unknown error, unable to restore. How can we fix that?

I think I actually got it restored now... and now, each time I am able to sync about 3-5 songs before I get the beachball and the whole thing 'times out'.
You are VERY correct about my desire for a new iMac. Too bad I just bought my first house, or I might be able to actually afford one! I have enough excuses... now I need cash.
Firewire to USB. I will see what I can find... it doesn't seem very likely, but you never know! Thanks for the help. I will report back if I find anything. I know there are a lot of people affected by this issue.
What is kind of ironic is that if I would have bought a PC in this time frame, it would have definitely had USB 2.0. You know? Dang.

can any one help me as i am using iphone 3g n i am unable to restore error 3014.

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error3014
If you computer has EVER been used to hack, unlock, or jailbreak any iPhone or iPad (not just the one with the problem) your network database is corrupted. You need to fix the hosts file.
If this is NOT your problem try disabling your antivirus and firewalls.

How to solve Unable to restore Unknown Error (47)?

I'm at my wit's end now. Happened after upgrade to iOS 4.2.1. Initially I couldn't complete my restore,and the bar froze. Then after leaving it overnight, and I saw that it was still frozen there, I disconnected the phone. For hours I've been trying to restore my iphone but all I keep getting now is an error 47. Tried restoring from another computer, removing itunes, installing the latest version, but still nothing.
Please help. Thanks..

This is most likely a hardware failure, most likely the dock connector, though it could be a problem caused by an attempt to hack or jailbreak it. You can try the suggestions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error28

Unable to restore - Unknown error (9)

HELP
Updated (tried to) iphone to 1.2.2 - whichever just came out - and it seems to have killed it. When I connect the iphone it detects it, but asks to restore it. When I click restore, it tries, but then I get a message that unknown error occurred (9). No idea what that means.
The iphone simply has a picture of the itunes icon, a picture of a cable and an arrow pointing to the itunes icon. Anything I can do - or do I own a paperweight?

Unable to Restore - Unknown Error occurred (6)

I tried to update my ITunes to the most recent update. It has wiped out my ipod completely. I followed all of the suggestions that are in the troubleshooting section. I uninstalled/reinstalled ITunes. It gets all the way to act like it is going to start syncing and I get the message IPOD could not restore A unknown error occured (6). The screen will only show the little Apple logo and the connect to USB port Logo. I see that others are having this issue, but no one has posted a solution. Does anyone have any ideas? I would really appreciate it. I hate living without my IPOD!!

I've only used this Itouch for less than a day and it's gone down with this. I have tired all the suggestions from both articles. I've tired it on 2 different PCs and 2 different laptops, with still no joy! Any more ideas please? At the moment it's an expensive paperweight, however a good looking one!
Cheers
Dave

Unable to restore file:

I keep getting unable to restore file: error cannot find table of content file.
Have I now lost 2 years of work because I cannot restore my data files.
or is there anything I can do to get the files back from the backup.
What does happen is it creates the folder but not the file.
2) can I send you the backup file to fix it as the data is very important.

Hi Sandra,
This forum is a better place to get an answer to this question.
Can you be more specific about the issue you are having:
- are you going to the "Archived" files section on assets.adobe.com and the file is listed there?
- you then select the file and the "Restore" action?
- what is the error message you are getting? (attach a screenshot, if possible)
Thanks,
Elba
