    iPod touch 3rd generation crashed while updating, and now it won't turn on, and it won't charge or be recognized in iTunes because it's completely dead; it's been dead for 3 days now. I've tried pressing home/sleep buttons for reset but nothing works, I've tried using different usb ports to charge it, but nothing seems to work. Please help asap. ...Thanks!(:

    After charging the iPod for half an hour, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

    Hey jestinsinclairr,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you had one issue and then got a second trying to resolve the first. A frustrating situation for sure. The first article linked has what to do if it is not powering on unless plugged in. The second article addresses the error you are receiving when trying to restore.

    Thanks for the response. There is no cloud icon next to them. All of the songs play on the phone still and no song was purchased through iTunes. I added them manually and tried to remove them manually. According to my iTunes they've been removed but they are still on my phone and working.

    After "Restoring iTunes Library backup" it wont link to the files in the iTunes folder. I've followed the procedure as described, and the iTunes folder is in the correct location. iTunes lists all my music correctly (albeit with no artwork), but can't locate any of the files.
    I've been restoring my iTunes folder from a backup hard drive to a new computer on which I've downloaded the latest iTunes (10.7). If this is a newer version than the one I backed up with could this be the problem? (I had the latest (to my knowledge) iTunes when I backed up the folder about 3 weeks ago, was this version 10.7?)
    Or is the version of iTunes (within recent updates) not an issue when restoring a library?
    Using Windows 7.
    Any help please?

    From the top of the page where the scripts live...
    The general method of use is to download the script to a folder of your choice, e.g. your Desktop, Downloads folder or create a folder at ...\iTunes\Scripts. Select a playlist or highlight some tracks in iTunes and then double-click on the script to execute it. If no specific tracks are selected the script will try to work with all tracks in the current playlist. Some scripts offer a choice of track by track confirmation of changes or fully automatic processing of the selection. Many of the scripts can optionally display a progress bar while running.
    You are strongly advised to backup your entire library, or at the very least the iTunes Library.itl file, before use. Test the behaviour of your chosen script on a small group of files first to make sure it does what you want before applying it to large numbers of files.
    Most builds of Windows will execute *.vbs scripts when you double-click them. If that doesn't happen then you might need to visit the Add/Remove Programs or Programs & Features control panel to enable the Windows Scripting Host. I can track down details if you have issues.
    Backing up and restoring data is an area that is often glossed over. Most people don't try to learn much about it until they've lost something important. (Me too )
    If your iTunes library was in the usual layout then normally copying the whole iTunes folder from the User's Music folder in the old computer to the User's Music folder in the new one will usually work fine. Ideally this is done before iTunes is installed so that there is no empty library to replace, and all settings are picked up from the old library. This post contains more details.

  • My backup wont restore from my itunes the data on my messages data is different  can i fix this

    i can restore my iphone from my itunes backup store on my computer the data for the text message has a differnet data So it wont restore Can I fix it

    You can't edit the .itl file directly, however it is possible to use the scripting interface to reconnect the files provided they are in a predictable location. I have a script for this called SwitchLinks.vbs which you are welcome to try out, however it should be possible to reconnect things as follows.
    Connect external drive & check files are visible from Windows Explorer.
    Open iTunes.
    Use *Edit > Preferences > Advanced* to point iTunes at the correct media folder.
    Close iTunes, wait a few seconds for it to close fully and save the library.
    Open iTunes.
    Test that music plays.
    If that still doesn't work, download my script, select a few test files and run the script. If it does the right thing select a larger batch of files and run it again. Repeat until finished.
    In the long run life will be much simpler if the library files are moved to the parent folder of the media folder on the external drive. That way, as mentioned above, if you ever start iTunes with the external offline then you get a prompt to choose or create a library. Just cancel, connect the drive, and start iTunes again and everything will work as it should.

  • My replacement 5S wont restore from a previous backup.  Im asked for a password and no password i use works.

    My replacement 5s wont restore from a previous backup.  I'm asked for a password and no password i use works.

    iTunes or iCloud? If it is iTunes, then it has an encryption password on it, and you won't be able to get the backup without the password. If it is iCloud, it would be your Apple ID password.

    Yes, if you're restoring from iCloud.  No, if restoring from iTunes.

  • My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

    My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

    I was having the same problem, I backed up my phone and then updated to iOS 5 and then it kept telling me it could not restore from my backup as it had failed.  After reading a bunch of forums and posts and trying everything, I did manage to get it to work.  I had tried the Time zone, creating a new computer user account, disabling anti-virus, etc.
    It took a combination of things, one of which was disabling the anti-virus completely and copying the contents of the backup folder to my desktop and then deleting everything in the backup folder.  Then I rebooted the PC, entirely disabled the anti-virus, copied the one backup I wanted to restore from the desktop to the backup folder and then trying to restore.  Low and behold the phone said restoring from backup and I am back in business, so when in doubt, trying combining some of the fixes together.

  • New itunes wont restore new iphone 5 from old phones backup

    My new iphone 5 refuses to restore from a backup of my old 4S using i tunes (latest version).
    It recognises it as a new phone, asks where to restore from,
    It starts the restore then freezes indicating 1 minute left,
    this then turns into 2 minutes, 3 minutes 4,5,6, and on and on
    I have about 20G of music on the old phone and i cloud will only accept 5Gig
    Any advice
    Thanks in advance

  • Windows Server 2008R2 DC VHD backup wont restore new DC

    hello, I have been tearing my hair out on this, what we currently do is
    we backup the system state of our main DC and upload this to the cloud (Amazon s3) via a piece of software called Cloud berry system state / bare metal addition. the backup is of course a VHD file. 
    the software integrates with windows server backup and creates a backup image, it then takes that and places it on the cloud as is, without altering it from what I can see.
    I want to test the process of restoring a domain controller so if we have a disaster here in house we can get up and running as quick as possible also making sure that the backups are functional. 
    I created a VM running 2008 R2 in Vmware workstation 10, I then copy the VHD to the new system but cant get it to recognise it via the windows server backup, whether in windows server backup - restore or via the repair your computer options on boot.
    do I need to make the machine identical to the original DC that was backed up as in run DC promo and set ,domain name, FQDN, IP address as the it was on the original?
    or do I need to place the VHD file in a certain area?
    I have read some blogs and guides and watched a fair few youtube vids but I keep getting the same issue I cant get the server to see the backup VHD system image file.
    any help would be most welcome.
    Many Thanks

    Hi,
    It is not supported to restore a system state backup onto a different server. System State Backup is for restoring to the orignal device. A similar reply could be found in following thread:

    How can i restore my iphone which was erased by iCloud?? I got my phone back but it wont work when i connect to iTunes.

    The following assumes you've been backing up to icloud all along.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
    Let us know if this method does not work.
