Can anyone help me restore my ipod touch 2nd gen?

Hi there. I am trying to update the software on my ipod touch but I keep getting an error code that states I can't restore it. Error code is 1-
Any tips?

Hi. Error code 1- indicates that you are unable to update or restore your iPod. To solve this problem you need to put your device into recovery mode. Before you begin ensure that you have some charge in your device.
You should first disconnect your iPod from your computer and make sure it is turned off. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
When you next open itunes it will notify you that your device is in recovery mode and will ask you to restore it. It should all work after this.
If your still unsure take a look at this  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Hope this helps, Ben

    Try plugging your ipod into your computer. Then start up itunes. Let it load everything. Then click on your ipod and play a song from your ipod's library. Not your itunes library. If it plays the song, then go ahead and stop it, disconnect your ipod, and check the content once again.
    I had the same problem and beleive it or not, this worked. I synced my ipod like 5 times before finding this answer on the web. Let me know if I need to clerify anything.

    If not successful try the ramaining items of
    - 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.

  • HT4972 previously used apps won't work after system restore?ipod touch 2nd gen.?

    My son forgot his passcode so I had to restore his ipod touch, 2nd gen.  After the restore, many of his apps no longer work.  He had Netflix, Facebook, Angry Birds.  They now all say they require ios 4.3 or 5.0.  Does anyone know how to get these apps back on his ipod?  thanks!

    Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • I had to restore my iPod touch 2nd gen, and cannot reload iOS

    My iPod Touch 2nd gen stopped showing up on my computer and syncing. So i had to restore it to factory and now cannot reload the iOS all i see is the arrow saying plug it in to itunes (it is) itunes cannot see it and i can't fix it, sync it or find where to get the ios to add it again. Please and thank you for any and all help

    It means the device is in recovery mode.  You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
    You may need to connect it in recovery mode manually using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • Can't Connect To Certain Sites iPod Touch 2nd Gen

    Hello.
    I have an iPod Touch 2nd Generation, and I use an Arris modem to connect to the Internet. I do not have a router.
    I've recently moved to a new location. I had to switch to a different ISP and modem. The internet has been working completely fine on all of my devices connected to the modem wirelessly except for my iPod Touch.
    The best way I can describe the problem is: I cannot connect to certain sites. Due to Apple's complete abandonment of the older iPod Touch generations, I don't use it for anything but Facebook for when I am home and don't want to be sitting at the computer. That being said, there are only 3 sites I can report not working. Google, YouTube and Facebook all don't work for me. However, I have on rare occasion actually been able to connect to Google even though I haven't changed any settings. I can confirm that Reddit and Yahoo do work. I haven't tried other sites. The message I get when I try to connect to these sites is, "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding."
    The steps I have taken so far (that I can remember) in hopes of fixing this problem are listed below:
    Restored my iPod via iTunes to factory settings.
    Restored my iPod to previously backed up data.
    Reset network settings in iPod settings.
    Disconnected and reconnected to modem wireless signal.
    Turned off iPod and held down Home and Power button for 10 seconds or so.
    Downloaded Facebook Messenger app to attempt to log in that way (did not work).
    Reset modem.
    Probably some other things too.
    I would appreciate any help you fine folks over here could provide as I have no other options to turn to.
    Thanks a lot.

    Unfortunately, I have no other available networks to test it on. I can say that it was working before I moved. I can connect to the sites completely fine on all other devices connected to the same network. Unless there is some setting on the modem that specifically stops only my iPod Touch I figured it was something on the iPod causing the problem.

  • I have lost my photos from my PC. I have them only on an iPod Touch 2nd Gen.

    I have lost my photos from my PC.
    I have them only on an iPod Touch 2nd Gen.
    How can I copy them from the iPod Touch 2nd Gen to my PC?
    The software version on the ipod 2nd Generation is 3.1.1(7C145).
    I would very much appreciate help in this regard.
    Thanks

    If the photos were synced to the iPod;
    - you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or Phone view to copy them to another computer.
    - Email them to the computer
    - See it there is an app available that will transfer them to your computer. However, there may not be any compatible with your model iPod and its iOS. There is the Photo Transfer app but that requires iOS 4.3 or above but your 2G iPod can only go as high as 4.2.1

  • How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?

    How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?
    The iPod Touch was working perfectly fine.  iTunes suggest that I update the iPod Touch to the latest operating software, and I proceeded to do so.  Then a message popped up stating that the iPod Touch needs to be fully restored - and that all data will be lost.  The iPod Touch now displays the 'plug into iTunes' screen, and is stuck there.  There are irreplaceable family momentos on the iPod Touch.  How can I recover files from an iPod Touch prior to a required restore?  HELP...

    Your only hope is to contact a data recovery company. When it shows the connect to iTunes screen the iPod is essentially deleted.
    You can restore from an existing backup

  • Im going to restore my ipod touch(4th gen) to factory settings. my question is, how do i back up all notes from the app "notes" so they can be reinstalled? or is it allready backed up as per the main "back-up" ?

    The iPod backup that iTunes makes includes Notes.and other app data. However, it does not included synced media like apps and music.
    Thus, just restore from backup with all your synced media in your iTunes library.
