Why can't I restore my iTouch 4th gen?

I have downloaded the ipod software in my laptop, but still, it won't restore. It keeps getting this 'unknown error 3194' when on the verge of restoring. I also tried it in my computer but it gets the same error.
I've searched up on google on what to do but I always get steps on how to restore the jailbroken one. My iTouch's not even jailbroken. Ever. I don't want to jailbreak it cause it will only lose its value. I'm worried that I can't restore my iTouch.
I've also tried help stated in apple.com but it wouldn't get me anywhere. My networks connection is doing fine, I have the latest version of iTunes, and I've tried the on and off thing-y [others would refer to as DFU mode, or force recovery mode or something like that], but I still get this unknown error. What should I do? Please help me. I badly needed to restore my iTouch.
Another details:
I've jailbroken my friends' iPhone in my laptop and desktop. Do you think this is why I can't restore my iTouch? Haaaaa. I don't know what to do.

Ok, it's still under warranty. Your golden. But I think you may still have to cover shipping cost (between 6 and 7 USD).
There is a web page here that explains this.
An Apple Store is not a service center. But they may be able to help you arange service and shipping.
Have you ever sent an computer in for servicing before? Often, once you've set it up, they will have UPS or FedEx drop off a box and then return in an hour for the item. With small electronics, it may not be that complicated. Just a pick up.
Cheers!

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • HT4623 can i get ios7 on itouch 4th gen?

    I find it really annoying the update has not come yet as it is on iphone 4, if it is not on its probably just a way to make people buy a newer one
    WILL IT COME ON ITOUCH

    ONLY the ipod touch has the neccessary hardware to run ios 7.  No other ipod will evert get it.
    The 4th gen ipod touch is over 3 years old and has recieved two major updates -  ios 5 and ios 6.  After three years, it can no longer support the newest software.
    There is nothing odd or unusual about this at all.

  • HT201210 Help needed Restore on Itouch 4th gen - resulted in Itouch no longer being able to turn on.

    My son tried to restore a 4th generation Itouch to wipe it clean.  Received error stating Unknown error occurred (1601).  He is no  longer able to turn the Itouch on or do anything with it.  Tried restoring again and received same message and Itouch never turned on.  Any suggestions?

    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.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also 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.

    my itouch 4th gen internal speaker doesn't want to work. what can i do to fix it? help please!

    - Try inserting/removing a earphone plug a dozen or more times.
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. Could be a bad headphone jack.

  • HT201210 why can't I restore and it says software update server could not be contacted? Help Please

    why can't I restore and it says software update server could not be contacted? Help Please

    Most likely because the phone was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it.

  • HT1766 Why can't I restore from my icloud after my phone kept shutting off due to panic lists?

    Why can't I restore from my iclould after my phone kept shutting off due to panic lists?

    Oh, that. Yeah, I've done it when I got the printer. Thanks. But the ePrint is not the same as the Wireless printing. Firstly, I have to go through the hassle of sending an email and secondly, when I email the document to the printer, it takes 2 pages to print it out, whereas the Wireless only takes 1 page. So it's not only about saving the time, but also the paper and the colour.
    This is driving me crazy. I am pretty sure that all the features've been set properly. The printer is connected to the same internet (Magnet****) as my i-phone and the computer. (Just with a little difference - the computer is connected to the internet router by a wire, the printer is connected wirelessly.) Both the lights on the front of the printer (Wireless, ePrint) are on continuously. The printer accepts all the printing jobs from my computer as well as all the ePrint jobs. Only my i-phone keeps telling me that there've been No AirPrint Printers Found. Even though it has worked. I really can't think of anything to fix it. Can you? Please?
    Thank you, Georgina.
