cannot restore ipod

Ok i got it to Restore, NOW every time it finishs Restoreing it comes up in Itunes as currupted and says i should restore it when i do it does the same thing again. please help

yes,i tried all of this,but is not work,error code is 2003 maybe this is factory deffec.

To restore the iPod manually, Hold both Sleep and Home, the iPod will turn off but dont let go, when the Apple logo comes up on the screen release sleep. You should then see a message to plug in your iPod to a computer.

Hope this helps, 😀.

PS.

If that doesn't work, instead of releasing Sleep when you see the Apple logo, release home... I can't quite remember which one.

_*Try This:*_

_*1. Turn iPod Touch OFF completely.*_
_*2. Plug iPod Touch into PC/MAC while still of.*_
_*3. Turn iPod touch on, then IMMEDIATELY do the following steps \/*_
_*4. Hold the 'Home button' and 'sleep/wake' button together for atleast 5 seconds.*_
_*5. The Apple logo will appear*_
_*6. When this happens release the 'sleep/wake' button BUT KEEP HOLD OF 'HOME' BUTTON*_
_*7. Your iPod will reboot (Apple logo)*_
_*6. iTunes will recognise iPod in 'Recovery mode'*_
_*8. You will be able to 'restore' your iPod Touch now.*_

I had the same problem and read your advice. Worked for me too. Thanks so much!

I have the same problem, it is quite annoying (I think I tried to restore the software at least 30 times). However, I will be returning my device and get an exchange model for it, the current situation is simply intolerable. Hopefully my next iPod won’t have these problems, the experience of the iPod touch itself is amazing!

Hello I have and ipod touch and I just got an update and it says that it can't update and it shows the plug it on to itunes like the 1st time I got it there is no home and the menu wont appear I push the restore button on the computer and it wont work saying it is not able to restore. How can I fix this I tried the home button and power button pushing to no avail please help me.

wait i just waited a few minutes and it works

dude! you are a life saver...its syncing as i type!!

did you try jail breaking it? if so you're probably bricked, being bricked has no proven solution, but heres your best bet
1)Keep trying to restore
2)Hold the power and the _home button_, then when the screen goes black *let go* of the _power button_ and keep holding the _home button_, then try to restore
3) _reset it_ repeatedly by hold the power and _hold button_
Once again, this _is not proven_ to work and only works if your Ipod is bricked

i got error 2004 after i did everything you said

I did this step twice.. It said everything worked.. it restarted and then it came up on itunes 7.5 it said an ipod has been detected but it couldnt be identified properly..

Should I keep retying to force-restore.. or contact apple and send it back.. I was jailbroken. But i restored once on my windows and it worked fine. On my imac is craps out

thanx for the how to restore. it worked great. i jailbroke mine and then it messed up bad and wouldnt recognize it in itunes. thanx to you it works now thanx razorianfly.

i woke up this morning, put on the head phones and turn on the touch.

it tells there is no music. it tells me there is no videos.

it has my pics.

turn on the pc and try to sync.

itunes tells me it can read the touch i need to restore. i tell it to go ahead. it downloads the firmware, but tells me it cant restore. error-18.

now im worried.

come here and find this, the above steps dont work.i tried like 5 times.

i do a search for -18 on the site and found this:
