Hey,
For some reason lately, my iPod Touch (16GB) is really screwed up. I have gotten errors including:
The iPod "iPod" Could not be restored. An unknown error occured (6).
" " (2).
" " (1604).
And something else like:
iTunes could not connect to the iPhone (etc). 0xE80000001 (or something like that).
This has always occurred just trying to restore it as I recently re-installed Vista on my computer and like to keep my iPod Touch in-sync completely with it so I wanted to restore it. Once I did, I started running into all these problems. The thing is, it will occasionally restore but then run into something like a timeout error while almost done syncing.
I am really frustrated and don't know for sure what to do. All the real problems with iPods I have had in the past have been software issues (fixable), but this problem is just really out there. I don't know for sure what to do because it sometimes works. I have tried restoring it about 15-20 times now.
Any suggestions? What about taking it to the Apple store and exchanging it? The problem with that though is I don't want to go down there and have them plug it into one of their Macs and see it work. Gas is expensive and it is around a half hour trip to the Apple store near me.
Thanks.
*Update: I just successfully restored my iPod Shuffle (2G) and synced to it several times without any real problems. I have thought that my iTunes installation could be the problem but this seems to contradict that purely.
