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?

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.

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

  • 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

  • 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

  • Getting "unable to sync - unknown error (1140) on iPhone and iPad.

    Yesterday, I got a message when trying to sync my iPhone 4S - "unable to sync, unknown error (1140).  After several unsuccessful attempts, I did a complete restore on my iPhone (took forever!).  Today, plugging in my iPad mini, I get the same error.  This looks like an Apple problem to me.  Any suggestions before I think about doing a complete restore on my iPad?

    If you haven't done so already, update iPhoto on your Mac. You might want to consider updating the OS to 10.6.8 if you haven't already done so.
