Can't break out of the restore loop on my iPod Touch.

I've tried different USB ports, different USB cables, verified and repaired my permissions,and I have no third party security that I know. I unfortunatly do not have a diffrent computer to try. I'm guessing that is the answer I will get. But if anyone has some advice, I would love to hear it.

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Can't break out of a while loop

    Hi, I am doing a networking course, for which an assignment was to write an echo client and server. I did the assignment in Java and it works just fine. However, there is something I don't understand that is bugging me. I wanted a way to stop the server by either detecting when the client entered "quit" or when the user of the server entered "quit". This was not part of the assignment, but after trying many different things I really want to know (1) what I am doing wrong and (2) what the correct way to do things would be.
    I tried to put an "if" clause within the while loop so that if the client entered "quit" the server would detect that, close the socket connections, and break the while loop. But... it seems that I have done this wrong and I am not sure why.
    (Note - I am not a Java programer - just a beginner, and the course in question isn't a programming course. I did the program below by following some brief guidelines/tutorial. I don't even have any books on Java to consult right now - just ordered few from Amazon for any future projects.)
    The code:
    // EchoServer.java     - a simple server program. It listens on a predetermined port for an incoming connection.
    //                After a client connects they can input a line of text and
    //                the server will echo the exact same line back.
    import java.io.*;
    import java.net.*;
    public class EchoServer {
         protected static int DEFAULT_PORT = 3004;
         public static void main (String args[]) throws Exception {
              int portNumber;          
              try {
                   portNumber = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
              } catch (Exception e) {
                   portNumber = DEFAULT_PORT;
              ServerSocket myServer = null;
                try{
                   myServer = new ServerSocket(portNumber);      
                   System.out.println("Echo Server started. Listening on port " + portNumber);
              } catch (IOException e) {
                   System.out.println("Could not listen on port: " + portNumber);
                   System.out.println(e);
              Socket clientSocket = null;                         
              try{          
                     clientSocket = myServer.accept();
              } catch (IOException e) {
                     System.out.println("Accept failed:  " + portNumber);
                   System.out.println(e);
              BufferedReader input = null;     
              PrintWriter output = null;
              try {               
                   input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream()));
                   output = new PrintWriter(clientSocket.getOutputStream(), true);
              } catch (IOException e) {
                   System.out.println(e);
              String theLine;     
              while(true){
                   theLine = input.readLine();
                   output.println(theLine);     
                   output.flush();
                        if (theLine.equals("quit"))  {
                             input.close();
                             output.close();
                             clientSocket.close();
                             myServer.close();     
                             break;
                        }     // end if
              }     // end while     
         }     // end main
    }          // end EchoClient

    A few observations:
    - You might as well exit after you have caught your exceptions, since none of the conditions I see would allow your program to run properly afterwards. You can either do that by a System.exit(int) or a return;
    - Although this s an example program, you should take advantage of doing things right. Addining a try-finally would be good for tidying things up. First declare your variables before the main try, otherwise the finally won't be able to do its job. For example (this won't compile as is):
    Socket clientSocket = null;
    ServerSocket myServer = null;
    InputStream in = null;
    OutputStream out =null;
    try {
      String theLine = null;     
      while( (theLine = input.readLine()) != null ){
        output.println(theLine);     
        output.flush();
        if (theLine.equals("quit"))  {
           break;
      }     // end while
    } catch ( IOException ex ) {
      ex.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
      if ( in != null ) {
         in.close();
      if ( out != null ) {
         out.close();
      // add other conditions to close other closeable objects
    }The reasoning is that if an exception were ever to happen you would be sure that the clean up would be done. In your current example you may risk having an inputstream left open. Also note that BufferedReader.readLine() returns null when its arrived at the end of its content.

  • Y I can't download anything from the App Store to my iPod touch 4

    Can't download any apps from the store with upgrade. And my device won't let me
    Upgrade to iOS7

    I suspect you have a 4G iPod. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • How do I get out of the restore loop in Nano gen 7

    I have a 7th generation iPod Nano which I proceeded to restore to factory setting. It is now in an endless loop of recovery mode and needing restoring.
    Software Version 1.0.3
    Does anyone have the solution?

    Greetings reklats,
    It seems you are unable to restore your iPod Nano to factory settings. Based on the information you have provided, it appears your iPod Nano needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

  • Can't get out of the message loop !!!

    Is anybody else getting stuck in a loop ? On a few occasions now a message has appeared asking me to click OK, but then it just keeps coming !!! The last one came just after trying to unpack a folder, and then started telling me (forgive me for not remembering the exact text) something about deleting a track and needing to create one first !!! All i know is i've got a session booked in the morning and i've just lost 2 hours editing.. it's already 4am AAARRRGGHHH !!! Serves me right for getting to into it and not pressing save !!! Next time i'll copy the exact message down for your perusal.

    OK, so the same thing has happened doing pretty much the same thing... i just tried to pack a folder and i got a message telling me there are regions on that track, do i really wanted to delete it... options to 'cancel' or 'delete'. This time a chose 'delete' (even though i didn't want to) and it still came up with the box 'Nothing to delete. If you really want to delete a track, you have to create one first.' The only thing to press is 'cancel' and now there is no escape... Arrrgghh 'FORCE QUIT' NOOOOOO !!!!

  • Can anybody help me find the serial number for my ipod touch on the apple website because it got stolen and i need the sereal number?

    i have done this before but i forgot how.
    i want to see a list of all the products registered in my name.

    You cannot find the ipod using the serial number.  You can give it to the police, so if they find it they can identify it.
    You can indeed find your serial numbers:

  • Why can I no longer see the genius option on my iPod touch 4g

    A few weeks ago I had an option when playing a song to turn on genius (on my iPod) between the repeat and shuffle buttons and it is no longer there. How can I get it back?

    No they were different accounts, AOL account had $$ credit. I think maybe the difference was the AOL account used my full email address while the apple account dropped the @aol.com. I have tried what you suggested but recieve this "apple ID has not been used with iTunes"

  • HT1414 Mine keeps on saying that the device could not be restored, "an unknown error has occurred (2001)"!! Guess it's stuck in that dreaded "iPhone Recovery Mode" loop. The question is, which way out??? How do I get it out of the recovery loop??

    Mine keeps on saying that the device could not be restored, "an unknown error has occurred (2001)"!! Guess it's stuck in that dreaded "iPhone Recovery Mode" loop. The question is, which way out??? How do I get it out of the recovery loop??

    A quick Google search for Error 2001 would indicate that this occurs when you have a jailbroken phone or were trying to downgrade iOS. Is that true for you?

  • ****How to come out of the  infinite loop by passing a perticular message

    Hi all,
    Can You Pl expalin me in detail "How to come out of the  infinite loop by passing a perticular message in BPM Scenarios"
    Thanks,
    Srinivasa

    Hi Potharaju,
    For this al you need to do is define an IP with two branches. One of the branch receives message of a particular type only. And the other branch is used for stopping the message processing. This is achieved using the correlation. Correlation makes sure that the message of the first type goes to the first branch only and that the message of second type should go to the second branch only. Now when the message of the second type is received, the control comes out of the infinite loop.
    Hope it makesit clear.
    Regards,
    Sanjeev.

  • How do I store 4 hours of data and get it out of the "while loop" into a spreadshee​t file for documentin​g purposes? "See additional Text for additonal info"

    What a have is a VI that uses the following SUbvi's, starts with FP OpenVI, then FP Create TagVI, into a "While Loop" which contains a FP ReadVI outputting data into a Index ArrayVI outputting to a Display (DBL). This shows the output of a FP-AI-100 monitoring a 9v battery. I have to monitor this battery for a 4 hour period my problem is storing the 4 hours of data and getting it out of the "while loop" into a "Write to Spreadsheet File VI" all I seem to accomplish is just one data sample which I get into a spreed ship file with no problem. I just can't get 4 hours worth. By the way this is my first VI and I'm self
    trained so have mercy.

    I figured it out thanks.

  • How can I get out of the flashing Apple screen on Iphone 3 ?

    How can I get out of the flashing Apple screen on Iphone 3 ?

    Turn it off.  While pressing and holding the Home button, connect it to your computer with iTunes open.  Hopefully you will be able to restore it after that.  If not, it requires service.
