Feb 26, 2016 1:33 AM in response to Mistymarkby lllaass,Check your USB connections
Errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014. You might also see a message that includes "invalid response."
If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you might not be able to update or restore.
To narrow down the issue, try different equipment:
- Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
- Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
- Try a different computer.
- Solve other issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
If you still see the error message, check for hardware issues.

Feb 29, 2016 11:13 PM in response to lllaassby Mistymark,I get exactly the same error message on another PC which is running Windows 7 32 bit (different to my 64 bit) and has different antivirus software. So I think it might be a problem with the ipod. Would restoring it to factory settings solve the problem?

Mar 1, 2016 12:33 AM in response to Mistymarkby lllaass,I do not think restoring will help with the problem. Have you tried disabling the antivirus?

Mar 1, 2016 6:37 PM in response to lllaassby Mistymark,Yes I have turned off the antivirus and it makes no difference

Mar 23, 2016 2:10 AM in response to lllaassby Mistymark,I'm not sure what to you mean by a hardware issue. The computer works fine and so does the ipod. The ipod just will not talk to any PC. Is it possible to reset the ipod? The computer shows this diagnostic result
