Ipod Touch 4th gen wont turn on, or install drivers properly...

I Have an Ipod I had recived from my cousin to try and fix. The Ipod does not turn on but the first time I plugged it in, the drivers installed correclty, but I could not restore it (error 1600) Then I tried DFU mode, that didnt work. So I then uninstalled the driver to try and re-install it, now it shows up as 'Apple Mobile Device (DFU Mode)' with a yellow exclamation mark and won't properly install the driver or show up in Itunes. Any ideas on getting the Ipod out of DFU and properly reinstalling the drivers? I've already tried re-installing Itunes for this. I have also tried every possible solution on this website for the 1600 error. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

How long did you hold the buttons? Keep holding them until the Apple logo comes on. May take up to 30-sec. As far as Apple changing you, if it's under a year old, them may do it for free.

  • My ipod touch 4th gen wont turn on or charge and is in recovery mode.

    my ipod touch 4th gen wont turn on or charge and it is in recovery mode but when it says preparing to restore it on itunes when i plug it up then the ipod disconnects from the computer and just shuts off again help me please. when it does act like its going to charge it doesnt charge and just brings up the "connect to itunes" thing.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.
    - 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.

    Connect it to a wall charger for at least 30 minutes. After that time, while it is still connected to the charger, Reset it by holding down the sleep and home buttons until you see the Apple logo, then let go of the buttons. Might take a few tries.
