I have a problem updating the new ipod touch 5th generation

I have a problem updating the new ipod touch 5th generation and I need help:
With each attempt I receive the message:
iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode.  You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
The iPod only displays a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an iTunes logo.
I receive a "Are you sure..." message with the 2 options, one to Restore and Update and the other to Cancel.
Each time I have selected the Restore and Update button and then moved through the acceptance screens.  Then iTunes begins to download the iOS 6.0.1 Software Update, which usually takes about 50 minutes.  During the download I will receive messages that an iPod has been found in restore mode.
After the download is complete no update occurs to the iPod and iTunes displays the Device Summary screen showing derive Name as iPod and all other items as n/a.
The iPod was working great without any known issues prior to attempting to update the OS.

Maybe:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Install the latest version of iTunes.
Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • I just want to know when the new ipod touch 5th generation will come out

    i just want to know when the new ipod touch 5th generation will come out

    Apple has not announced any new iPod models. When they do, we'll all find out at the same time, I would guess, since the announcement will be prominent on every Apple-related web site and will probalby be posted in multiple threads in these forums.
    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

  • Why hasn't apple set an official release date on the new ipod touch 5th generation?

    I was really happy to preorder the new Ipod touch and thinking it was going to be shipped when the iPhone came out. But why do we have to wait until october ?

    Correction the ANNOUNCED it on the 12th of september.
    Nobody knows (except for apple of course). All it says on the ipod touch page that it ships in October so it could be any date. I predict that it is in the first two weeks of October but when it says buy it now instead of pre-order you know its about to come out.

  • How do I take games from my iPhone 4s and move them over to the new iPod touch 5th generation?

    For Christmas my son will be getting the iPod touch 5th generation.  I currently have the iPhone 4s.  Both equipped with iCloud. Is it possible for me to take the games from my iPhone and move them to the iPod? If so, how will I go about doing that?  I currently have a macbook but need to upgrade my software so I can install iCloud to it.
    Thanks.

    One of the simplest methods: you will need to log in with your App store account and download them on the iPod. You will not be charged, since you already bought them.

  • The head phone jack on my brand new iPod touch 5th generation is not working properly

    The head phone jack on my brand new iPod touch 5th generation is not working properly. It has sound without the headphones in but when I plug them in it has no sound, it's low, or poppy. I had only used my apple supplied headphones once before and it worked fine. I know it's not the headphones because I tried them on my girlfriends phone and they worked fine.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    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.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

    Does anyone have an actual date in October when tese wonderful new iPod Touch 5th generation wil be avaiable?

    Try charging the ipod touch on a wall charger and make sure the outlet is working. And leave it there for 10 minutes.
    Or try holding the power and home until apple logo appears.

  • Full automatic Itunes synchronization impossible for a brand new Ipod touch 5th generation

    Hey all,
    I bought a brand new Ipod Touch 5th generation which won't synchronize my whole music library through Itunes (very latest version of the app).
    The ipod runs IOS8 and the mac mini runs Yosemite latest version.
    I already had issue synchronizing music the very 1st day I had the Ipod touch. As a result, went back to the Apple store for changing it for another device, thinking the Ipod was faulty, which Apple accepted and changed my device for a brand new one.
    Since then, still unable to synchronize the full music library through itunes. I performed several full resets both on the mac mini and of the Ipod touch with no success. The synchronization seems to run fully normally with no warning pop up saying it failed or whatsoever and the sync process is very very long. But once done, my Ipod remains empty with no data at all.
    The weird thing is that Photos are fully synchronized with no issue at all.
    I contacted the Apple assistance who argued that my music library might be faulty and have corrupted files in it. So I cleaned it up, suppressing some files I had in double etc.
    BUT still, no success, I had to go through the entire library to sync manually, but even then, I was able to have on the device, only half of the library, i.e. around 25 go. once the ipod display 25 to 30 gb remaining, it won't sync no more files.
    Although I cleaned up the entire library and reset both devices hundreds of times, I have no clue why even manually, I'm completely unable to have my whole library automatically sync.
    I spent hours on the phone with Apple assistance to get some help with no success so far. I even re-installed Itunes completely, still without any result at all.
    I was only able to upload on the Ipod only half of the music library, and there are still 25 to 30 GB space remaining on the ipod and 20GB of music to be uploaded.
    The automatic sync process always fails any time I try to run it, except for the photos, books etc.
    I must say I also have an 160 GB Ipod classic with which I never had any problem so far, and which fully sync my whole library with no issue at all.
    I read on the internet that some other users of IOS8 are accountering the same issue with itunes.
    COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP, I'M DESPERATE, given the price of the Ipod I really do regret I bought something that does not work properly. Quite disappointed

    Yes the system just keep sync as everything is normal, but then no song is actually uploaded to the ipod.
    And the remaining space bar shows the ipod's empty.
    the automated process will just keep sync as if normal and the last step saying 'applying the modifications" just keep going on and never ends.
    I was only able to upload manually half of the albums, all songs comes from different sources; ripped from CD for great part, but also downloaded from the internet from trusted websites.
    All songs play normally through Itunes on the Mac Mini.
    But then when trying to sync the whole library automatically, nothing happens and I only get tags of the different albums, as if there, but actually it won't play none and the Ipod player just keep skipping as if no musical data is there.

  • Brand new Ipod touch 5th generation won't charge.

    Hi! So i just got my brand new ipod touch 5th generation in the mail. I went to turn it on but there was no power, so then i plugged it in to charge, but now every time i try to turn it on, the red battery charge symbol shows up, and its been charging for an hour now. I have used many apple products before and they usually dont take that long to charge. Does anyone know what the problem is?
    PLEASE HELP!
    thanks.

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Since updating iTunes my new iPod touch 5th generation wont show up.

    I recently updated iTunes on Friday. But now that I try to sync my iPod touch 5th generation it is not showing up in iTunes. The iPod asks if I trust this computer and I click yes but nothing happens. What should I do?

    In case you haven't found this yet... I managed to fix the problem with my iPhones by updating the USB device driver.  The instructions are in this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5822553?tstart=0
    or you can follow this knowlege base article on the Apple site:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    (for me the problem required me following the instructions in the "If only Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod appears" section, but it may be different in your case)
    Maybe Apple updated the USB drivers in this updated version of iTunes?  I'm not sure why the installer failed to install these drivers automatically (maybe that isn't possible??).  Maybe this is just a Windows problem and has nothing to do with Apple?  Who knows...

  • HELP! My brand new iPod touch 5th generation might be broken!

    Hello, I recently got my Space Gray iPod touch 5th Generation that is 32GB and version is iOS 7.1.2. When I finally got it and was opening the package and trying to open it. I didn't know that there were 2 tabs on the bottom and top and I tried to pull the ipod out itself. I noticed I had to pull the tabs and then I got paranoid that I bent the ipod and it broke from the inside. Anyways, I set it up with no problem but when I went to sign in to App Store from my apple account and switched the keyboard to the numbers and other characters the keyboard got these weird short white lines and I got paranoid but when I switched the keyboard again and went back to the numbers keyboard the white lines did not appear. Now nothing strange is happening but I though that was a sign of my ipod was broken from the inside so I shaked ipod and heard nothing rattling from the inside so that gave a little relief. But I'm still VERY stressed out and paranoid because my mother got me this iPod from going to 5 stores to find the color I wanted and now I thought I was going to break it . Please help me apple community. Is the inside of my ipod ok? are there any other signs of the inside of the ipod broken? Please help, I'm only 12 and I'm going through so much stress .

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

  • Where are the cases specifically for the 16GB iPod touch 5th generation!?

         The 16GB model of the iPod touch 5th generation was released on May 30, 2013, replacing the 4th generation iPod touch because of it being uncompatible with an upcoming version of iOS. (as known as; iOS 7) This "new" (not so new anymore) 16GB model is the exact same as the other 5th generation iPod touch's (now called the 32GB/64GB models) except 3 differences; which make finding a case for it impossible. It has no rear facing iSight camera, LED Flash, iPod touch loop, and the microphone has been repositioned to the top of the device.
         Now everyone who owns an Apple product, or knows anything about Apple, knows good and well that it doesn't take 3 months for a new device to receive a compatible case from a case manufacturer. I'm tired of it! We all know that cases that are actually made to protect the iPod are going to be covering that microphone at the top, and, if you have the 16GB model, having big cutouts on the back of the case for a camera and loop that aren't there is going to become annoying.
         I love the iPod and all of its features; considering that it's only $70 more than the overpriced nano and I get the App Store, 4" iPhone 5 Retina Display, a speaker, Front facing HD Camera, iOS and more, I'm happy with it and its price. But I hate that there is no cases for it. Any help?

    Found one on best buy
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Belkin+-+Grip+Neon+Glo+Case+for+Apple%26%23174%3B+iP od%26%23174%3B+touch+5th+Generation+-+Pink/1331013.p?id=1219050712926&skuId=1331 013
    by Belkin, so a place to start.
    They're a lot more expensive, but Griffin has some of their 'survivor' cases with sealed ports, so you could cover up the ones you don't need.
    If best buy isn't an option for you, at least there's a manufacturer to look for.
