Did OS update ruin my iPod Touch?

Since updating the OS on his iPodTouch last night, the iPod is no longer recognized by any computer and only shows the screen showing it needs to be plugged into iTunes. I did that but iTunes and my PC never recognized that the iPod was plugged in. Did the update ruin my iPod???? Does Apple repair/replace in these instances?

Hello,
I`m sorry to hear that your Ipod has been wrecked and needs to be plugged into Itunes. I will try my best to help with your problem!
Try the following things:
-Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 sec. or until Apple Logo appears
-Did you try connecting it to a different computer? Maybe the computer doesnt recognize it, but maybe another computer might?
-Restart the computer. Sometimes this happens to me, it says plug it into Itunes, and then I do, but it pops up an error message. I just restart the computer, then it works again.
Hope that helps!
If the above things do not work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution.
Thanks,

P.S. I updated my Ipod Touch, 4th generation to IOS 6.0.1 on Wednesday January 30th,2013.
No problems have happened yet, since the update.

    No one here said anything about an update or your device needing it.
    FYI, you are not addressing Apple here, we are all users like yourself.
    If the device is in recovery mode, the only option is to restore it.  All data on the device is gone.  This should not be an issue if the device has been used as designed and regularly synced/backed up.

  • Hi i did an update on my iPod touch i took it uot i played on it for a few minutes i then licked the screen and i wanted to unlick it but it just flashed and now it wont turn on

    i am terribly confused i did an update on my ipod touch i took it out of my usb port i played on it 4 a bit i locked the screen and i wanted to unlock it when it flashed and now it wont turn on !!

    - See if resetting the iod helps.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next, connect the iPod to its syncing computer and if iTunes sees the iPod restore the iPo via iTunes.
    - If iTynes does not see the iPod, place the iPOd in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPOd.  For recovery mode see:

  • TS1702 Went to update apps on ipod touch IOS 4.2.1. I did a factory reset. Now I can't get most of my apps back because I can't download version 5.0. I paid for some of these apps.

    Went to update apps on ipod touch IOS 4.2.1.  I did a factory reset and now I can't get most of my apps back & can't download version 5.0 which I need to get back some of my apps. I paid for some of these. I've tried my backup and it didn't put them back on.

    If your iPod Touch is too old for iOS 5 or later... there is not much you can do.
    When/if you get a later model iDevice you will be able to Download Past Purchases using the Original ID that made those Purchases. (providing they are still supported by the Developer)

  • Installed latest update, and now ipod touch won't work

    Hello, I clicked on the download and install option for the latest update to my ipod touch. I think it was 2.2.1, but I'm not 100% sure. Anyway, now I have to hold the power button down several seconds, and I see the apple logo, and then the itunes icon with the USB plug which indicates I need to connect to itunes. When I plug it in to the pc, I get prompted that I have installed new hardware and need to install the device drivers. It is not recognized by itunes or my pc. Please help!!

    Hello, all, my ipod touch is now working. Here's what happened...I called the tech support line and started going through the automated stuff. It started me with the reset which I had done numerous time. It then mentioned trying a different USB port. I figured it was a waste of time, but then I decided what the heck, so I tried the other usb port on the front of my pc. When I did this, it recognized the ipod in ituned and gave me a mssg that it needed to be restored. I clicked on the restore link, and minutes later it gave me an error message on the restore, and the ipod showed the apple on the sreen instead of the itunes logo with the usb cord. I then tried it back in the original usb port, and received the same windows prompt to try to install drivers that I had been getting all along. I put it back in the second USB port, and got the restore message again with it being recognized in itunes. This time it successfully completed the restore. I know it sounds simple, but if you have not tried a different USB port, be sure you do. Maybe the download jacked up my USB port? Anyway, I'm working again with the 2.2.1 download. Good luck to all!!

  • Can a ipad 4th gen charger ruin a ipod touch

    can a ipad 4th gen charger ruin a ipod touch? Device was plugged in to an ipad charger then failed during an update to IOS 601. went to a solid color screen and will only boot to the apple logo on a reset than returns to the solid color screen.

    Try the following to get the iPod working.
    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I did a backup on my iPod touch and it said it worked...but now it won't let me access anything and says "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode.  You must restore this IPod before it can be used."  I will lose all my videos and pics if I do that

    I did a backup on my iPod touch last night and it said it worked...I wanted to make sure my 1100 pictures and videos, mostly of my son, were safe since we rarely use the iPod touch anymore since we bought an iPad...I can't find them or I have no idea how to access them...I do not have a MAC...I have an HP computer with windows...
    Now when I try to use my iTunes a message comes up that says my iPod is on recovery mode and has to do a restore to use my iTunes again...so when u click on that it states that pushing that button will restore my iPod touch to its factory settings...which means I will lose all my data...which I CANNOT do bc the videos of my son are some of his first words, first giggles, etc. 
    Now my iPod is stuck on a screen with a picture of a USB cord and an iTunes icon... and holding the power and push buttons down at the same time does nothing except bring up the apple icon for a moment and then it goes right back to the USB and iTunes icon
    When I called Apple they said in order to talk to tech support I had to pay a fee of 19 dollars...which I think is kind of crap...I paid over 300 dollars for this and all I want is somebody to help me access my pics...I have done nothing wrong...this iPod was never dropped and never broke...I did the backup like I was supposed to and now I have an IPod touch that does nothing, and if my library of pics and videos are on my computer, I have no clue where or how to view them or back them up onto DVD....
    I'm very upset and frustrated...please help!!!

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • Can I update my older ipod touch to play new games that require ios 4.3?

    Can I update my older ipod touch to play new games that require ios 4.3?  After I purchased games for my son's ipod, they would not upload due to ios.  How can I update that without purchasing a new touch?

    iOS 4.3 requires a third generation or newer iPod touch; you don't need to buy a brand new device in any case.

    Is the music in your iTunes library?
    Why can't you sync?

    where does it state that?

  • I just downloaded a new software update to my ipod touch and now my ipod is frozen with a screen picture of music round blue symbol and an arrow displaying a cable connection. I received a message saying that the download was not successful.

    I just downloaded a new software update to my ipod touch and now the ipod and screen are frozen. I received a message that the download was not successful and now my screen is showing the blue round itunes symbol with an arrow pointing to the symbol and shows a cable below it. I have tried the restart of pushing the two buttons together and waiting 10 seconds for the apple symbol which appears and then go backs to the same stuck symbol. My computer is not recognizing the ipod either and will not connect. What needs to be done?  Thanks.

    Try manually placin the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.
    Next try DFU mode and restore

  • I purchased the newest software update for my ipod touch 1st generation and it is saying it is it will now begin download but the status bar doesn't even appear? How can I start the download?

    Well first off you shouldn't have had to pay for a download (just an assumption from the word "purchased".
    If you are trying to install iOS 5 on your iPod touch, it won't work they arent compatible. I suggest checking what version of software you are trying to install and posting it in this forum so people can have a better understanding.
