Ipod Touch Restore Question

To those who have had to restore their ipod touch:
I am currently in restore mode in itunes and I have the Status bar labeled "Restoring iPod from backup" on the screen after I chose to restore from my last sync.
Anyhow, the status bar was trucking right along until it got to about 98% finished and now the status bar has parked, just stopped with about 2% left to go.
Is this normal? It has been this way for about 45 minutes.
By the way, I had to restore because it crashed while downloading an app from mobile itunes.

That is not normal. Can you restore without using the backup? The backup only saves settings such as email accounts and brightness etc.

  • IPod Touch 5G question

    Ok, this doesn't happen with my iPod Touch 4G, but it does with my 5G. Every time I connect it to my laptop to charge, it asks 'Trust This Computer?'. Every time. If it did it once, it wouldn't really bother me, but it does it repeatedly. It will ask me at 2-4 times - sometimes more - every time I plug it in. My laptop is the only computer I connect it to, so why does it repeatedly ask that question?

    Perhaps you need to try rebooting it:
    Rebooting your iDevice
    Hold down the Sleep (On-Off) and Home buttons together for about 10-15 seconds or until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears - then let go of the buttons. The iPad should begin to start up.
    If this doesn't help then try restoring it:

    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

  • Error (14) and (9) during iPod Touch Restore process

    I am getting the following error when trying to restore my iPod Touch in iTunes:
    "The iPod, "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (14)."  Sometimes I also get error code (9) as well.
    I have the latest version of iTunes and have tried 2 different cables and 2 different computers.
    All security software is up-to-date.
    This all started a few days ago when my iPod would just freeze, then the main light would flash and it would shut itself off.
    I then tried to do the restore process within iTunes.
    Now, whenever I connect my iPod, I get the following message:
    iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
    When I click 'OK", I will get the option to "Restore".  I then begin the restore process.
    First it says:  Extracting Software
    Then it says: Preparing iPod for Restore
    Then it says: Verifying iPod restore with Apple
    Then it says: Waiting for iPod
    Then it says: Preparing iPod software for restore...
    Then the iPod flashes and resets itself and I get one of the two error codes (9 or 14).
    There are lots of articles up here with the same issue but no resolution...has anyone ever found one?
    Help!!!

  • New iPod Touch: restore WIFI settings

    I got a second iTouch and have successfully restored it from a backup of the previous one, but that didn't restore any WIFI configurations. Is that expected?
    Is there any way I can either get those configurations copied over or at least see the previous passwords so I can re-key them? I'd much prefer to copy the configurations over since some of the passwords are a major pain to key, but I'd settle for anything at this point.

    Restore one iDevice from the backup of another iDevice copies everything to the target device (if they are the same type of device) except keychain items like passwords. Thus, you will have to reenter the keychain item on the target iPod. See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    "Keychain (this includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some other applications. If you encrypt the backup with iOS 4 and later, the keychain information is transferred to the new device. With an unencrypted backup, the keychain can only be restored to the same iPhone or iPod touch. If you are restoring to a new device with an unencrypted backup, you will need to enter these passwords again.)"

  • New iPod Touch - restore from backup of (2nd gen?) iPod touch

    Am buying the new iPod Touch w/additional features - camera, hi-res, quicker processor, etc. - than the (2nd) Gen Touch which I bot June 2009. Run on iMac, all software currently "up-to-date" - want to just transfer over all of my apps, music, data (within iPod apps), MobileMe links, Mail links, etc - from old device to new device. I'd also like to "wipe" the old device in order to give it to someone else without giving them access to my information. Anyone out there give me a "link" to get instructions on this? When I do my own searches in "support manuals" - I get a ton of non-applicable links....

  • Help with iPod Touch restore

    My computer shut down while updating my iPod touch to iOS 4.3.2 and now I'm trying to restore my iPod with the backup but my computer doesn't have enough memory space and iTunes says the backup could not be saved on the disc (I think iTunes compresses the backup). Is there anyway I could save/extract it to my portable hard drive? Any other suggestions on how to restore the to my iPod without using 6+ GB of space? Also, what does restoring from backup restore? Thanks in advance.
    *Edit: Sorry, I'm using PC. How do you move this to Syncing your iPod touch to a PC?

    Welcome to the discussions,
    if your PC shut down during the update, the backup created by iTunes might be damaged. Try to delete the latest backup in the list in iTunes/Preferences/Devices. If you have more than one backup listed, copy the whole backup folder to an external HD or USB drive, in case you might need the data again.
    The backup folder is located here: Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    You might also try to delete the ipod software file located in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates, to make iTunes download a new copy when you connect in recovery mode. Maybe the file stored on your PC is damaged as well due to the shut down.
    Recovery mode is covered here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Ipod touch internet question???

    i have two questions:
    1. can you view videos online on a ipod touch that are on websites using safari (excluding youtube)like movie6.net, ign.com, tv-links.co.uk or google video.
    2. as well does it cost to use the internet on a ipod touch my friends say that you do have to pay to use it.

    In no way are there fees linked to Apple or AT&T for internet use on the iPod Touch. As Trey said, you may have to pay to use a public access point, but this is very rare and costs little, when it costs any at all.

  • IPOD Touch Restore Issue!!!

    When I turned on my relatively new ipod touch yesterday, it had the itunes logo with a docking cord picture on the screen. I plugged it in to itunes and it stated "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode....". Ok, that I can deal with. I hit restore and then it states I have to restore and update software. OK, that is fine as well. It is downloading iPod touch software 1.1.4. It states that it will automatically restore after the software had downloaded. I have downloaded this software at least 6 times, and it states it is fully downloaded, but then the download box disappears and the restore does not happen. When I hit restore again, it downloads the software all over again... I am SO VERY frustruated! Have any suggestions????!!!!

    Hey Mary Beth,
    Try "Deleting the restore files" as described on this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307219
    Also make sure the iPod touch is plugged directly into the PC and not into a hub, monitor, or keyboard. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1286
    If the iTunes still will not restore the iPod try restoring in another user account as described in the first article.

  • How can I fix error 14 in my iPod Touch restore?

    When I try to restore and update my iPod Touch, appears Error 14 in my iTunes interface. How can I fix that error?

    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

  • IPod Touch restore after every charge?

    I have an iPod Touch 3rd generation, my battery life is probably around average for the age.
    Everytime the battery on my iPod dies, I have to reconnect it to iTunes and completely restore it to factory settings.
    I get a message that states my files could not be read, and that I have to connect to iTunes.
    This only happens when I forget to charge it, and the battery completly dies. I cant seem to find any links to someone with the same problem.
    Can anyone help me fix this, or if not tell me why this is happening? All of my software is up to date

    As a test, just try restoring to factory settings/new iPod. The let the battery fully drain. If it happens then that indicates a hardware problem. It could be because of the battery or some other problem.

  • IPod Touch restore=crazy screen.

    Whenever I restore my iPod Touch 2nd gen the screen on my touch goes crazy. It will display the normal things in the background but with some weird white noise on the screen. It only happens during restore. What is this and how could I fix it? Thanks in advance!

    Now it only has the white lines during the time of restoring when it shows the connect to itunes symbol. Other than that it seems the it works fine. What issue would it most likely be? Screen or motherboard issue? Thanks for the help!
