In my family’s situation, it seemed the problem was related to the download of the update from the Apple server.  I downloaded the update under my username on my eMac and updated my iPhone fine.  My dad, however, downloaded the update under his username on the same computer and had the restore problem.  When he tried the restore on my username, it worked and the phone is now completely updated.

This thing cost me 7-hours of valuable time screwing around with RESTORING it 5-times. Every time I turned the thing off, it would go into recovery mode and couldn’t be used. On the FIRST day I got it.

It’s got MICROSOFT-esque issues. Bad product as far as I’m concerned.

I tried the upgrade on my Windows XP machine and had the same errors. After an hour I grabbed my wife’s MacBook, connected the bricked iPod Touch and it sorted itself out. No problems since…...fingers crossed

I don’t know what is going on but my iPod Touch is working very smoothly and the only problem I’ve seen is with the typing while in Safari.

from Kwopau at the apple.com boards - “Have you tried resetting your ipod via your ipod touch? Settings => General => Reset => try the first one, and see if that works, if not, try the second button and see if that works.”

This fix worked for me, as I was getting no audio on the mp3 side of things. It would play through the cable in iTunes, but not as a pod. It seems happy now.

The problem that occurs is caused by your virus software. Turn it off and recover. I had the same problem and they couldn’t resolve it so I tried myself and walaa. It works fine now… Good Luck…

There is a solution to this. Download iBrickr(Google it) and plug your iphone/ipod touch in. Unzip the file and click on the ibrickr file. It will state whether to jailbreak it or take it out of recoverey. Click on the option you choose, most likely the recoverey one. Your ipod/iphone will still dislpay the connect to itunes thimng but the backgrouns will change. If its red, congrats your ipod will be taken out of recoverey but if its green, you’re boned.If it was succsessful but it back into recoverey mode using the buttons( it’s pretty well known, search it up) Then Disconnect it. download the firm ware for your iphone/ipod touch. Omce you’ve done that shift-click the restore button in itunes and select the .ipsw file. Wait for the usual stuff and when it finishes it should be back to normal. I hoped I helped

Justin you’re a king.
I spent the last 3 hours browsing various forums and website about the Iphone locked in recovery mode.
I downloaded the ibrickr thing, followed what you wrote and it worked perfectly.
Thanks again.

I paid $20 for the upgrade on iTunes it took me a few hours to even have iTunes allow me to purchase the update. When I finally did get the update the mail doesnt work and when I try to add an icon to the homescreen I get an error. I paid $20 for a lame notes application, stocks which I will never use and weather. Thanks apple.

I had the ‘error 9’ as well. Nothing worked except installing a fresh iTunes on another computer and restoring from there.. Thanks to whoever gave that advice:)

not even 10 minutes, and my son’s most anticipated gift is a useless paper weight.  STUCK IN RESTORE MODE, and wasting valuable vacation time!

I was having problems with my touch ipod so I attempted to restore it, following the directions in my itunes.  After 24 hours the ipod is still “restoring”. What’s wrong?
