20Gb 4th Gen w/ every error message in the book..Apple Support doesn't help

I have done all of the steps included in the help articles (ie: updated iTunes, iPod updater, restarted my computer, changed usb ports, toggled hold switch, reset with menu-select, tried reset with menu-select then select play for a hard reset to disk mode, tried connecting iPod to a Mac). Nothing helps my problem. I have a 4th generation which is displaying a combination of the "plug iPod into AC adapter", "sad iPod", "fully discharged iPod", "Alert folder" and "Apple" logos. Neither "my computer" nor iTunes recognizes my iPod, and my iPod does not display a menu. Device manager doesn't recognize it and iPod updater will not even recognize my iPod.

I plugged it into my wife's G4 iBook with USB 2.0, and it still showed the picture described above.
Plug it into the iBook G4 with FireWire, or an unit such as the iPod Hi-Fi, or try this method, or take it to an Apple Store.

    I am trying to download iTunes for my ipod touch. Everytime I start the installation proccess I get this error message
    An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,type="win32".version="8.0.50727.4053",publicKeyToken="1fc8b 3b 9a1e 8b 3b", processorArchitecture="amd64"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80070BC9

    I've tried this 3 times and get the same result.. please help ! thanks

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 80070BC9, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)

  • I changed to a Sumsung S4. I deactivated my iphone.  When some iphones sent me text messages they get error messages.  The texts don't send.  Help?

    I switched from iphone 5 to Samsung S4.   I could not receive messages from iphones.  Learned I needed to deactivate imessaging.  I did.  Iphones give error messages now when sending messages to me,  and I don't get the messages.   Help!

    See this about all the steps to deactivate iMessage. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5185
    The last step is to contact Apple Support if necessary.

  • TS1140 I am having issues with an iPhoto book that I created.  When I try to purchase it, it fails to load for payment, yet I don't see any error messages in the book itself?  Help!

    I can't seem to get my photos for an iphoto book to load.  It will assemble the pictures, but at the last step, it never progresses with loading the photos - I always get an error message.

    how doe the preview work?
    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

  • Trouble downloading purchased music books    on ipad2  it stops with a cocoa error message  Yet the book downloads perfectly to my iphone5 and MacAir

    I am having an almost identical problem and hoped that iOS 6 and the new iTunes would fix it.  Regrettably, I again got 3 movies synced last night before iTunes locked up and gave me the xxxx cannot be synced "because the file cannot be written" message.  Same deal with iTunes hanging on "finishing sync" after that and me having to remove the iPad from the cable to get things to come back to life on the PC (Win 7 64 bit).
    I've also done a factory restore followed by a restore from backup and have the same problem.

    B-rock, thanks for posting the above.  I actually have the same issue, running Windows XP and I don't have that backup location, \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\.  When I go to Documents and Settings\(username)\ there's a AppData folder followed by:\LocalLow\DataMngr\ .
    I have the latest update, 5.0.1 and I have the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
    I have tried removing itunes and all that is associated with it then reinstalling and keep getting the same message.  I've reset my ipod thinking that would help but still, no backup.
    In iTunes, Edit, Preference, Device there are no backups.
    What am I doing wrong, can you help? 
    Thank you!

    Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings. Then setup the iPod with your account.

  • I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb.  The problem I'm having is that it will not more than about 5.4gb worth of songs.  The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync.

    I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb.  The problem I'm having is that it will not sync more than about 5.4gb worth of songs.  The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync process.  The hard drive has been upgraded, it has a new logicboard (with 128mb RAM), new housing, battery, hold / headphone jack.  Basically the only original parts are the bezel, click wheel, screen, and data ribbons. Have attempted the 3Rs and have also tried to isolate potentially corrupt audio files and remove them, but this did not seem to be the primary cause.  The sync failure consistently happens at just under a 1000 songs (5.4gb) and then it starts to error (-69) any song after that.  Your advise would be enthusiastically received.

    Here is what worked for me:
      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup. Yo shld be able to make a backup if you previously syncing to this computer.

    Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.

    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.

  • Can  i replace my 20gb 4th gen ipod with a bigger hard drive?

    Can i replace my 20gb 4th gen ipod with a bigger hard drive are there any that fit?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated here.

    Assuming that the larger device would fit inside of the casing, yes.  However, I'm not aware of any such drives.   You may have to do a bit of digging around online to see if you can find out any more info.
