Yeah.....ummm....my iPod is dead. iTunes was not recognizing it so I tried restoring. Everytime I try to restore though, it gets stuck in "Preparing iPod for Restore" and eventually just gives me a error 1611. Now the weird thing is, on Windows, it works fine. I can restore and everything. The problem is on my Mac. HELP!!!
I've had this problem when I upgraded to 2.2.1. Try un-installing iTunes then re-install it. Then try to restore it. If that doesnt work. Put it in DFU mode.
No problem, I should work at the Apple Genius bar. Tell all your friends about my wicked skillz plox.
