  • I downloaded a recommended update and since then my ipod touch (3rd gen) is frozen and wont turn on (1604 error)

    I downloaded a recommended update and since then my ipod touch (3rd gen) is frozen and will not turn on. I try restoring factory settings but the process terminates with a 1604 error. I have researched this problem on the net and think i have tried everything, but still no joy. I have tried removing all apple and itunes software and reinstalling, updating the apple drivers - nothing has worked. I am using itunes 10.3 on my pc, windows xp.
    If anyone can help me i would be extremely grateful - I am off on holiday on thursday and would love to have my ipod with me!
    Many thanks in advance.
    Craig.

    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • HT201270 I have an iPad 3rd gen. A carrier settings update notification has appeared on my screen, and it doesn't do anything when I press either 'update' or 'not now' . Because the notification is still there, I am unable to use any apps or shut it down.

    Have you tried a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

  • 10.7 update and now my iphones/ipod is not being recognized.

    10.7 update and now my iphones/ipod is not being recognized in windows 7 service pack 1. I have 2 iphones and an ipod 3G. I have to go into services and stop the apple mobile device and start it up again to get my devices recognized. Anyone else having the same issue? One of the iphones is not upgraded to the new iOS, the other phone and the ipod are updated.

    Hi,
    You probably need to update to Snow Leopard10.6.8
    Click Apple icon top left and click Software Update and keep doing that until it says software is up to date.
    That should bring your itunes to the correct version.
    Hope this helps,
    Alan

    I tried to restore, update and back up my ipod touch. once it said it was successful i clicked on the label of my ipod in itunes and it had written, "we're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time." now whenever i click on the label it just says that and on my ipod it tells me to plug into itunes when it already is. i didnt update restore or back it up with the latest version, so i downloaded the latest version, how do i start the process again so my ipod works!! help this is gay !!

    Hmm, well... iTunes trys to activate your iPod using the Apple server to make sure you have bought it legit.
    Two things come into my mind:
    1) Your iTunes can't access the internet.
    2) Apples activation servers are down.
    That's just my cents, maybe anyone else has an idea.

  • How do you update and back up your ipod touch 4 to ios 5?

    So I really want to update my ipod touch 4 to ios 5, as it has many new features. The problem is, i am afraid to because i am worried that all my apps, music, and pictures will get deleted. I know many people say to back it up, but when you back it up, do you press update and then does all your data get saved? If not what do you have to do. I read so many answers on how to back up and update but im still in doubt. Also, the songs on my ipod are not from my itunes, they are from my cousins, so do i have to back up on her pc? I just want a very simple step by step process on how to update and back up your ipod,(keeping all apps, music, and pictures) the safe and secure way. Thank you, anything will help.

    Apple has stopped signing iOS 5 firmware. The latest version available for your iPod is 6.1.3. You must first backup your iPod then press Check for Update. Backing up will save all of your data on the iPod Touch and your sync options. And no, you can backup on your PC, press Sync and allow iTunes to transfer purchases and copy them to your iTunes library. If your iTunes library does not contain the music on your iPod, I recommend trying to drag it to your library from your iPod. And make sure you are running the latest version of iTunes. When the update finishes, restore your iPod from the backup you made. And to save pictures from your Camera Roll, go into My Computer and open the iPod and copy the pictures to your computer.

    Books are no longer supported with iPhoto '08 (a roughly six yeal old product) - you can purchase an iLife '09 DVD from someplace like Amazon or eBay and install it - iPhoto '09 is still supported this year

  • Our students have entered passcodes when downloading ios 7 update and now ipads are locked, help!

    Our students have entered passcodes when downloading ios 7 update and now ipads are locked, help!

    If the iPad is running iOS 7 and the kid set up Find My IPad, then you can't restore it without the kid's Apple ID and password. The Activation Lock is a feature that people whined and whined to get, and is causing exactly the sort of problems many of us predicted when people were clamoring for it. If you can't get the kid's Apple ID, you'll have to call Apple Support and ask if they have any sort of workaround. My guess is that they'll have to replace the iPad, but they may have a solution they don't talk about publicly.
    This won't help for iPads currently locked for which you can't get the Apple ID, but if before you give out iPads to your students you go into the Restrictions and disallow changes to the accounts, they can't then turn in Find My iPad. Or you can set up Find My iPad yourselves to your own accounts and then lock the Restrictions so they can't set iCloud up to an account to which you don't have the Apple ID.
    Regards.

  • IPad (3rd gen)  ios 6.0.1 update - yes or no?

    hi all,
    is it worth updating the 3rd gen iPad or iPad Mini or iPhone 4 to ios 6.0.1? I'm concerned about battery life and wifi issues, sharing/apple tv errors.... that i did not even update to ios 6. So is ios 6.0.1 a yes or no for you? and what problems have you encountered? (Please state which device you have updated). Your answers will help many like me who are....
    Undecided whether to update or not.....

    She has no idea on what to do as she isnt a developer (I'm not going to disclose her exact position).
    I've tried to reset the content and settings and it restores it to factory default but it unfortunately still gives me the error. I'm going to try and install a beta version of ios 8 (thats still signed by apple) and see if that may work.
    I'm debating on bring it into the apple store or not as that may be my only option.

  • TS1410 My ipod nano 3rd gen. is not recognized by my computer or itunes.  Support page does not help.

    My macbook is not recognizing my 3rd gen. ipod nano after I reset the ipod.  THe finder not itunes recognizes it.  Can someone help?

    If you have not already, disconnect the iPod and restart your Mac.  Do this to Reset the iPod.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    Once the Mac restarts, run iTunes and connect the iPod. 
    If that does not help, try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
    then, connect it to the Mac running iTunes.  It's possible that iTunes will tell you that you need to Restore the iPod.

  • Ipod touch 3rd gen wont sync with my laptop and or itunes any ideas ipod second hand?.

    Does it work?
    Does it charge?
    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    Run this to help if it identifies the cause

    Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?

  • Can't get my 3rd gen to be recognized by itunes

    My son disconnected my ipod during charging to charge his without ejecting mine. Itunes suggested I restore when it would not connect properly. I did and now it says Ipod is corrupted need to restore. I do that and it says unknown error #1418. In the meantime I downloaded new version of itunes, as was suggested. My son's 2nd gen still updates & works ok, but my 3rd gen doesn't. Have seen lots of comments about new download causing problems, but tend to think this is all because of my son (who I would now like to kill!!!) Any suggestions?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod Touch 3rd Gen Wiped with Latest iTunes Update

    Hi,
    I had my ipod touch 3rd gen up to date with the latest firmware 5.x whatever it was. Then recently they released a new iTunes update which i downloaded and updated. Although doing this itunes update wiped everything off my ipod. I manually manage my music and this is very annoying to have to reselect all the songs i like and to put it back in. What could be the reason for this ? and what could i do to make sure this doesnt happen again!
    I had already just recently manually added all songs again when OS5 had just released and having to do it now for the 2nd time after that just seems annoying.
    Please Help
    Thanks!

    I would just go to the Apple Store and search for headphone with mic under iPod accessories.
