My iPod went into recovery mode and I knew I had to restore it. However, when I plug it into the computer, nothing comes up on the iPod and my iTunes doesn't open. Except, when I plug my iPod into my wall charger, it lights up. What can I do to save it?

For some reason, my iPod doesnt power up when I connect it to my computer, but it does if I plug it into my wall charger.
I need to restore it as it went into recovery mode, what is it that doesn't allow it to connect to my computer and what can I do to fix it?

You can re-download for free (As with the free music the bill just reads .00) .
Try it with one and see for yourself.
Oh yes, spare yourself future grief since this doesn't apply to music and video, get an external HD to back up iTunes and use it!

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • Did 8.1 upgrade on iphone 4S, phone went to recovery mode and lost all data

    Today October 26th I was prompted for 8.1 upgrade to fix minor bugs. Did 8.1 upgrade on my iphone 4S, phone went to recovery mode and lost all data. I see an itunes icon with a charger pointing  to it on the screen. I plugged the pphone to the laptop and get is itunes detected iPhone in recovery mode, you must restart the phone before you update ...and the download is taking 5 hours and i have 320 mbps download speed
    Apple thinks i have an older phone and need to throw it and buy their new iphone 6. if thats the case, here is my middle finger... am going with some other OS

    Apple doesn't care if you buy a newer phone or not.  Apple doesn't need your new iPhone purchase.  There are millions of people that have properly working older iPhones that voluntarily upgrade.
    Your device crashed, and it could have been caused by any number of root causes, many of them not controlled by Apple.  Third party app, interruption of internet connection, interruption of power, etc.
    If you came here to give the middle finger to Apple (childish behavior by the way), you're in the wrong place.  Go to www.apple.com/feedback.

    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.

Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

    - Try another cable

    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

    Two weeks ago I was updating my iPhone 4 to the new software. As soon as it was done it sent my phone into recovery mode. I talked to apple support line four times and they could not figure it out. I got frustrated after two days of
    Not being able to use my phone and went to the apple store and had them restore it. When that happened it of
    Course deleted all my stuff on my phone. When I was talking to apple support on the phone they told
    Me that my computer was not downloading mobile me or apple mobile support. I've never had problems before until I tried updating it. So now Ive tried
    Reinstalling iTunes and my computer will not dl mobile me or apple mobile support. I went to their support online and followed some
    Of their stuff to try to fix and disabled Something and it told me to restart my computer and so I did and now I can't find the page where it was giving me the directions for it bc when I disabled programs it somehow disabled to where I can't get on the Internet. My phone works fine now just don't have my numbers, music, apps, ringtones pictures etc. The problem is now my computer, iTunes, my Internet connection, and mobile me and apple mobile software. Please help!

  • IPad 2 went in Recovery Mode and I don't want to lose my data

    Well, hello.
    I have a big problem with my iPad2. From the begining: I wanted to update the iOS to 7.1.2. The progress bar appeared and I left it like that. When I returned, it showed me that I have to connect the device to iTunes. When I did this, it said that I have to restore it. The big problem is that I don't have any back-up of my iPad. I had, but my old laptop broke and I can't open it anymore. So I got a new laptop (Windows 8) and never connected the iPad to it, only now, when it is in Recovery Mode and... I tried to hold the Home+Wake up button both pressed in the same time, but still no change: the Apple logo appears only for a few seconds and it goes back to the Recovery Mode screen. I also downloaded TinyUmbrella from here: http://tinyumbrella.en.lo4d.com/ but nothing happened (it appeared something like TinyUmbrella: Verifying libraries, reticualting something). I also contacted the service in my country, but they said that nothing can be done, I have to restore it and, by this, erase all the data on it. Please, is there any way in which I can save the data? I'm more than desparate

    Yes, I know... I discovered now that I have saved the photos I wanted from it long time ago (for the same reasons, i didn't wanted to lose them). So I'm kind of saved. Also it has been like crap because the laptop where I had my backups is as dead as can be. That was the moment when I panicked. From now on... I'll back-up it everyday. Thank you a lot!

    is any one can help? it that a system or just some app issue? and why it happens during charging or just after charging........

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

  • Itunes doesn't open after monolingual use, any further ideas?

    I installed Monolanguage and now iTunes doesn's open any more.
    tried everything mentioned here and in other forums.
    I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro.
    I uninstalled Monolanguage
    I uninstalled and reinstalled Flip4Mac
    I deleted te TLSC file
    I repaired the rights of access
    I rmoved Flip4Mac and Quicktimeplayer
    I restarted the system serveral times
    Nothing helps.
    Any more ideas?
    How can I delete and reinstall iTunes without loosing all my data and backups etc.?

    "Monolanguage" as you say several times, or "Monolingual" as in your topic?
    Flip4Mac has nothing to do with iTunes.
    You have to be careful using Monolingual It can remove components other applications expect to be there.  I don't know how it affects iTunes, though it could conceivably be looking for language support you no longer have.
    If you're getting so desperate for hard drive space that you're using Monolingual then you may want to think about moving other files off, or buying a bigger hard drive.
    You may want to consider re-installing your operating system  or restoring your computer from backup if you really think this was caused by using Monolingual.
