  • Ipod 5th gen stuck in recovery mode.

    When i plugged my iPod in it would turn on to the apple logo and then switch off again.
    i held down on/off button and home, it then told me to connect to iTunes. usually when it does this i restore it and it is fine.
    I plugged it into my iTunes and it will extract the software, then start restoring it.
    after about 5-10 seconds of restoring it it switches off and iTunes gives me an error message.
    I have had error 8, -18 and also one which was 2000 and something that i can remember off the top of my head.
    How do i sort this?
    I have updated my mac software to the new OS X yosemite to see if that helped but it hasn't.
    Thanks in advance for any replies.

    Try restoring on another computer. Thgose error numbers are not listed here:

  • Ipod classic 5th Gen stuck in recovery Windows Vista

    Alright, here are the details: my iPod classic 5th gen. is stuck in recovery mode,
    and it won't connect to iTunes so I can restore it. Now, I know I have the latest
    version of iTunes, I have deleted it & reinstalled it, and even restarted my
    computer, but it still won't come up in iTunes...What should I do??

    A person on youtube presented a fix by putting the ipod into disk mode and then plugging it into your Windows computer. Well... what happens on mine is the itunes dashboard does come up which to me means it recognizes an ipod is attached but after 30 mins. the icon showing my ipod never appears on the dashboard so I can open it to restore it. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated (especially if you ever found something that worked).

    Are any other devices connected via USB to your Windows PC?  If so, disconnect them and reboot your PC. Then reconnect your iPod to see if that makes any difference.

  • Please Help! Ipod 5th gen stuck on restoring

    I started downloading the ipod touch software from Itunes on my Windows PC( File size 1.20GB) and then I started updating my device.
    When it finished downloading  my itunes closed & my device was stuck with the picture with the Itunes Logo and the lighting connector.
    I did not know what to do cause my device could not sync with Itunes. When I tried again I had to update Itunes to its current version, but it still did not conncet util I had to find the problem and fix it. Before I fixed the synching error I put my device in DFU mode and the Ipod starting to restore & extract the files.
    After it finished extracting the files my ipod turned off & on Itunes it said waiting for Ipod, & then timed out with an error. Then the second time it happened is when it switched of again but when I turned it back on another error poped up saying unable to restore Ipod.
    I have been strugglinng  fpr 5 days, watching videos how to fix this, reading articles onn how to fix this & even looking up at this community & searched through everything but nothing worked.
    Every time I swich my ipod on that Itunes sign stays there.
    I tried over 9 times resoring but still the same errors and still the ipod turns off.
    Does anyone have a solution cause I tried searching for all kinds but none work.

    Try on another computer with a different cable

  • Ipod 5th gen stuck in disk mode

    i need help. i've tried the different suggestions in discussions to no avail. when i plug my ipod up, it says it needs to be restored . i click restore, it runs the process and says it'll start back up and never does. i unplug it and it says run itunes to restore. please help

    Okay ... rather than doing a full format, let's instead see if we can do a disk check, and see if that gets the ipod to the point where a restore will "take" properly on the iPod.
    There's vista instructions in the following document. Check both "Automatically fix file system errors" and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors":
    [Check your hard disk for errors|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Check-your-hard-disk-fo r-errors]
    After the check disk, can you successfully restore the iPod?

  • IPod 5th Gen: no photos/videos tab, Update & Restore buttons grayed out

    Hi, I've got a PowerBook G4 667 DVI with a Macally cardbus USB 2.0 adaptor. I also have a sorta new 5th Gen 60GB iPod (bought Oct 2006). Using OS X 10.4.8 and iTunes 7.0.2.
    I've already reinstalled the OS and iTunes a couple of times. No luck yet.
    Since day 1 with this iPod, I've had these problems (using both USB 1 and 2):
    (1) The photos and videos tabs do not appear in the iPod pane. (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302583 is useless, as is the article it points to.)
    (2) The update and restore buttons are always grayed out. The iPod came PC formatted. In order to Mac format it, I tried everything, struck out with tech support on the phone, and finally had to take it to the Apple store. It worked, restored, and reformatted fine on their iMac. Took 5 minutes. But still, with my computer, I still have the same problem.
    (3) Whenever the iPod syncs, I get the following error message:
    "Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod because your iPod software is too old. Go to the Summary tab and click Update," yada yada.
    But I can't, since Update is always grayed out. The result is that none of my iTMS purchases will sync. All my mp3s and non-FairPlay music syncs fine. My computer is registered, and I do buy/download without problems. Maybe the iPod doesn't know what account it's linked to?
    (4) Not a problem, but perhaps a cue to the cause of the others: in the Summary tab, software version and serial number are both "n/a".
    Any ideas? I'm out of ideas.
    Thanks.

    After about a month of not using my 5th generation iPod, I connected it to the computer... only to be greeted by the wrong icon for the iPod itself and iTunes no longer recognizing it as a 5th generation iPod. The update/restore buttons are also greyed out, and no amount of restoring on different machines and updating and reapplying OS software seems to make a difference.
    You are not alone on this one. I am at a loss as to what to do software wise, since it used to work just fine.

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen stuck in recovery mode loop and unable to restore

    Hello,
    I attempted to download and update my iPod to IOS 8 wirelessly on the release date Sept. 17.  After a few hours of downloading, I plugged my iPod into its charger to allow for the installation to complete.  I went out for a few hours that evening and returned to find my iPod touch with the recovery mode image (cord hooking up to iTunes).  At first i tried to kick it out of recovery mode by using some 3rd party applications.  Every time that happened, it would reset my iPod only to return to the previous image (cord hooking up to iTunes).  After this, I gave up trying to just kick it out of recovery mode and just restore it using iTunes.  For the last 3 days, I have continuously  attempted to restore my iPod but i am never able to successfully download the software.  I have received multiple errors regarding "failure to connect to update serves" or "session has timed out".  Most of the time,I ca't even get to the Terms and Agreements popup.  The window simply says "attempting to connect to update server."  In the extremely rare case that I get passed the terms and agreements pop up and begin the download,  the approximate wait time always exceeds 80 hours, and then an error is detected shortly after stating the  "failure to connect to update serves" and "session has timed out" errors.
    I would simply like to be able to restore my device and make it usable so it is not a metal and glass "brick".  Any help in this matter is much appreciated. Thanks.

  • Ipod 4th Gen stuck in recovery mode

    I've looked at other questions and I'm almost certain that I've done everything. I wanted to restore it so I could sell it, so I plugged it into my Macbook and every time I do it, it says that there's been an error because it could not contact my iPod or something. I've updated iTunes and tried to use other software but every time it would go back to the "Connect to iTunes" thing. I've followed the troubleshooting page on Apple and I can promise you that none of it has worked! I've booked an appointment to see the Genius Bar but I'm concerned that they may have to charge to fix it, which could be more than the price I want to sell it for.

    What is the wording of the error message? I so not know what the "something" is in
    "it says that there's been an error because it could not contact my iPod or something"

  • Ipod Touch 2g stuck in recovery mode after restore, no error msgs

    Help, please.  I have an Ipod Touch 2generation that was my older sons and I wanted to restore it to factory to give to his younger brother.  I get the message that is was restored successfully (Windows 7, no error messages or codes from Itunes) but when that message goes away and the ipod shows back up in itunes is still says its in recovery mode.  I've tried different usb cables, different usb ports, turning off my anti-virus firewall protection, using a different pc (Windows Vista) and still the same thing.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
