I'm trying to get my iPod touch to respond to pc, windows7. It was disabled after deleating photos.
My iPod Touch was disabled when deleting photos. I now have windows 7 on my pc and the iPod will not respond when plugged into pc.. I was told to sink the iPod with iTunes but no response. Any ideas where to start. I have very little knowledge of the iPod and the pc. Please give me basics only if you can. I just installed the latest version of windows 7, found my user name and updated my iTunes accoun and pluged the iPod in the pc with no results yet.t. I do not know my way around iTunes as yet. Any thoughts?

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Trying to get my ipod touch (1st gen) to upgrade to ios 3.1.1
Trying to get my ipod touch to upgrade to ios 3.1.1. I get an error message 8288
Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
“SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:
“Hi all,
I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
Can anyone help? Please?!
Thank you!!!
P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.”
Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!

P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution. -

I have called Apple and at first I got it back up and I thought it was never going to do that again. But this time, my Wi-Fi is working but my Ipod wont lets me in the my Wi-Fi service. And I did one of the steps that is on Apple.com . So I need help!!!
What do you mean by " wont lets me in the my Wi-Fi service."?
Maybe:
Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I'm getting the apparently "deadly" error 3149 when trying to restore my Ipod Touch 4g
A few days ago I tried to update my Ipod Touch (4th Generation) to the newest software. I pressed update and the apple logo with a loading bar underneath it appeared then the bar got about halfway and all of the sudden went into recovery mode. I followed some steps online to get it out of recovery mode, didn't work. So then I decided to just restore it. I tried restoring directly from Itunes but Itunes never finished the download (tried 3 times). Each time it gave me a different error. So I downloaded the 0.6.1 firmware online (*though it was a 840mb download and the file only says it's 839mb, weird)and tried using the Shift + Restore method. It extracted it then said "Verifying" then gave me the error 3149. I went online, yet again and followed some steps dealing with the "Hosts" file. No luck. I've also tried putting it in DFU mode, no luck.
I should also mentioned that my Ipod is Jailbroken. It was given to me like that when I got it for my B-Day. I never use anything with Cidia or whatever so I think Jailbreaking is pretty useless but I think this is worth mentioning because it could be what's causing the problem, but I don't know if it has anything to with it for sure. I've been told that restoring it will get rid of the stupid Jailbreak but I can't restore it now can I?
Please give me some advice, any advice that I haven't tried already would be helpful. I just want to actually use my Ipod! Why's it so hard to do things?!?
Also, no idea what operating system it was before the craziness happened. I can't check right now either. :/Did you mean 3194

I tried to update my ipod touch software by syncing with itunes and it put the ipod into "recovery mode". Seems like the only option is to restore? Is there a way to get it out of recovery mode?
No.
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

I have just tried to update my ipod touch and the update failed but it has locked my ipod. All I get is a picture of the itunes logo and the usb lead. I am unable to get the ipod to move and I don't know what to do. I think I should be recompenced by Apple if I have to pay to get it fixed!
The logo is saying connect it to your computer with iTunes installed on the computer. I assume when yo do this that the iPod is not seen in iTunes. to make iTunes appear try:
- Resetting the iPod:
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.
- Place the iPod in recovery mode. See:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Place the iPod in DFU mode:
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
If the iPod appears in iTunes restore the iPOd. If not I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. -

Also, my youngest grandson cannot remember his password. Is there a way to find it?Not charging is one of the symptoms covered here:

To recover from a loss screen passcode, connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore the iPod from backup via iTunes on the computer. If iTunes asks for the unknown passcode, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:

I was trying to synk my ipod touch to my laptop but instead it deleted all of my music that was on my ipod. is there anyway i can get that music back?? please help.
Adam,
If these songs were only on your iPod Touch and not in your iTunes library or backed up anywhere else, them I'm afraid you are out of luck.
If they are iTunes purchases and you live in the US, see this Apple support document about redownloading them at no cost.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
For music that was imported from outside of iTunes, you'll need to reimport those again.
