Cant restore my ipod touch saying the device couldnt be found

j

- Try ressetting the iPOod. Nothing is losy
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reboot the computer
- Try a different USB port
- Try a different coputer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    If you get the corrupt error message then go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and select the backup and delete it.
    Next
    - 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.

  • TS3694 i cant restore my ipod touch

    i cant restore my ipod touch

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer

  • I restored my ipod touch however the apps will not sync.  I tried to re-download but I changed my apple id as my old id is no longer a valid email address.  Any ideas out there please

    I restored my ipod touch however the apps will not sync.  I tried to re-download but I changed my apple id as my old id is no longer a valid email address.  Any ideas out there please?

    It might be logical to someone, but not to me. I agree it's a pain.
    How did you change your Apple ID? Creating a new one is not what you want to do, but if you changed the ID associated with your purchases then that might have worked. You would need to sign in with the Apple ID on both your iPod Touch as well as in iTunes. I'm not sure how you changed it but clearly they need to match.
    If it's just your password that is not getting recognized reset it here: http://iforgot.apple.com/
    It will send an email confirmation to the email address associated with that Apple ID. The email address you elect to use might not look anything like your Apple ID. If you don't appear to get an email check your spam filter.

    iCloud + Restoring my ipod question.
    I just restored my ipod touch for the first time because it was unreadable in itunes, and I had manually backed up my ipod to iCloud prior.
    The ipod is restored, but cloud not downloading any of my messages and pictures, and the other files that iCloud claims to back up?
    How do I put these on my restored itouch?
    Thanks everyone

    What messages? What app? The backup includes Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS),
    What photos? How did the photos get on the iPod
    The backup only includes photos in the iPod's camera roll album.

  • HT1414 I'm trying to restore my ipod touch but the restore box doesn't come up on itunes. Nothing appears for me to click restore. Please help

    My Ipod touch is disabled but I know how to put it in dfu mode(I think that's correct)...but when I log into itunes the restore box does not appear.
    What am I doing wrong? How do I restore my ipod touch on itunes when the restore box does not come up?

    Try Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.

  • HT5622 How to select iPod touch in the Devices list?

    I am wanting to update my ipod touch 4.2.1 . How do I do this?
    Christian

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
    Otherwise
    To update
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
    A 4G to 6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

  • I cant restore my ipod touch 2g. First it was error 2005, then 9 and finally it now says error 2009. What can I do?

    Please help me. I have to restore my ipod, for it has frozen. Everytime i hit restore a new erroe appears. First it was 2005, then 9 and finally 2009. What can I do?

    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on): If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.
    Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • I cant restore my ipod touch 5g

    i was updating my ipod to ios 6.1.2 and i was restoring it but it kept saying ipod is in recovery mode you cant download itunes but when the restore had finished help i dont know what to do

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

  • New ipod touch, Error: "The device can not be read or written to."

    I don't know what else to do!
    I also have an Ipod touch that just doesn't sync. When I connect the Ipod and launch Itunes to sync, it tells me that the device can not be written to:
    It just doesn't snyc at all. It's brand-new, out of the box and just doesn't work. And it's not my first ipod, so I know how to handle Itunes.
    That's what i've tried so far without success to solve the problem:
    * restored the touch hundreds of times, both in recovery and DFU mode and within the touch software
    * upgraded to firmware 1.1.4, downgraded back to 1.1.3, then to 1.1.2. and back to 1.1.4 - no change!
    * installed several different ITunes Versions and different Apple Mobile Device Services
    * tried MediaMonkey BETA with Ipod Touch support (this just creates 0kb files on the touch, but it also uses the mobile device service, so i guess the failure is somewhere there)
    * tried 4 different Windows XP systems with Itunes at my home and at friends (same error there as well)
    * restored my Windows XP with a recovery version and reinstalled Itunes completely from scratch
    * created a new user account in Windows XP and tried it with this one
    * launched Itunes with Internet switched off
    * used different USB ports - both 1.1 and 2.0
    * disconnected all USB devices
    * registered the necessary DLLs manually
    * last week, I sent the ipod to Apple (they claim that everything is fine and the problem is just me and my computer and sent it back without change)
    I don't have an apple in reach, so i'm not able to test it with an apple computer. There is also no apple store here in the country side of Germany.
    What else can be done? I know there are hundreds, that have the same problem but I don't know any more things to try. Now i have a 300 bucks touch i can not use as mp3 player...

  • TS1441 How can I restore an iPod touch if the home button is broken and I don't know the password?

    I just bought my iPod Touch (4th Generation 8GB) from my friend and the home button doesn't work. Then, my parents took it away for about 6 months and I just got it back and I forgot my password. Then, I tried to get in too many times and now it says "iPod Disabled Connect to iTunes". Then, when I connect it to iTunes, it says for my to put in my password so it can connect. I've been trying to get back in but haven't found a way to restore it. HELP!!!!!
    P.S. It's jailbroken, but the damage isn't due to Cydia. Also, I can't put it into DFU mode since the home button is broken.

    Actually, I can give it to someone who fixes jailbroken iPod touch home buttons, but I don't want to pay anything. Also, if you just have something to say to me that will kill me, don't say it at all dude.

  • HT201210 Every time i try to restore my iPod it says "The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An Unknown Error occurred (28) why is this happening??

    I Put my iPod in my locker before lucnh and it was off, i went to go and turn it back on for math class and it wouldn't...... i plugged it into my computer and it says iPod is in recovery mode...... and it sujested that i update, and restore so i though okay.... it did the update but everything the restored comes it starts and stops and says "The iPod could not be restored. an unknown error occured (28). why does this keep happening?? please tell me i don't know what to do.......

    Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

    Yes sometimes the backup will be corrupted and if you do not have another backup you will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
