Hi there

just recently i just purchased my iPod Touch and has been working great.
Yesterday i needed to restore it so i went into itunes-- summary-- restore however, an error occurred
"The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (-18)"
came up not allowing me to access any data and i've already tried it on another computer.

WHAT CAN I DO???

Thank you

Never mind

Found a solution

1. hold top button + home button
2. skips slide shut off
3. once apple sign pops up finally release the top button but hold the home

Causes recovery mode
