Can't sync iPod and stuck in restore loop after upgrading to iTunes 7

I cannot restore my iPod using my desktop, so I use my laptop to do it and it seems to work and I can transfer music to it, but when I reconnect it to my desktop, it tries to erase and resync with the other iTunes library. It seems to go through and I can see the status of all the songs being copied to the iPod, but when I then disconnect to see if it happened, it shows no songs. When I reconnect it to either the laptop or the desktop, it tells me to restore it. Only the laptop will restore, the desktop gets in the restore loop. I tried the selective startup, the drive letter change, the reinstall of iTunes, nothing works. Can anyone tell me if this is an iPod error or a software problem?

Try the following. I expect you will have to let the battery fully drain.
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 another cable
- 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.

How come calendars and contacts vanish from iPhone after upgrade to iTunes 6.1.2?

How come calandras and contacts vanish from iPhone after upgrade to iTunes 6.1.2?

Hi, Did you work out a fix for this? All my calender dates (past & future) and the last 12 months of new contacts gone!!!! And yes i too back up regularly.
Previously when the great 5 upgrade happened, i did loss everything, and although I was doing backups none of that info was relative in an English way. A whole life of important, unreplaceable information gone! Never to be found.
All of my products are apple, but it seems that little people dont matter to them, with no recourse for the damage to my personal or professional life.
Extremly disappointed again!

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1603
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.

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. .
Also, it could be due to an incompatiblity with iTunes and the pre-release Windows 8 version.

How can i sync music and notes etc... to a new itunes?

My old desktop (guest account) on my computer was deleted. It had my original itunes on it. I made a new guest account on my computer. Obviously, there was no music, no app's, no anything on this particular account.
I did sync the "purchased" app's onto the new itunes successfully, but I want to know if my notes that I type in the ipad2, also photos i saved and bookmarks (on my home screen and safari), including my reading lists (safari), are safe. Another thing is, how can i transfer my music to the new itunes? how can I get my old music library from the ipad2 onto the new itunes? They were c.d.'s i bured to itunes a while back from my own collection. I did not purchase them online from itunes' site.

tht link made me do nearly the same things i already did. i dont see a difrnce in anything. it did not do anything i questioned. after i did this proccess it said it wants to erase wut is on my ipad2 . thats exactly what i DONT want.
WILL MY NOTES AND CALENDER DATES, ETC... BE SAFE? ALONG WITH BOOKMARKS THT I SAVED AND MY "READING LIST" ON SAFARI BE SAFE AS WELL, WHEN OR IF I SYNC MY IPAD2?
AND
HOW CAN I GET MY OLD MUSIC FROM MY IPAD2 ONTO MY NEW ITUNES? (if possable)

Can I sync music and playlists from my IPhone4s back to my Itunes account?

Everything on my ITunes disappeared. I got some of it back but noticed that all of my Playlists and some of my music is gone. Everything is still on my phone. Can I sync anything back from my phone to my ITunes?
Thanks!!

Stuck in Restore Loop after 3.1 Upgrade

Can anybody help? My iPhone is now stuck in a constant restore loop and I cannot downgrade to 3.0.1. My iPhone is effectively now a brick.
This issue has really got me seething at Apple. Do they not test these things?

Just tried to update to 3.1, should have read the forum first. Had I seen the problems everyones been having I never would have tried it. When the update was finishing the iphone disconnected from itunes then the screen showed that I need to connect iphone to itunes. Tried reconnecting a million times, rebooted my computer, and tried to reset my iphone. It won't turn off or reset. When I was finally able to get it connected to itunes again, it says it must be restored. I freaked out, because my pictures didn't get backed up (even though I had them checked) and I can't afford to lose them, or any of my contacts and calendar events that also didn't manage to get backed up. I finally gave in and decided to restore, and it won't even try to restore. My phone worked perfectly well before this update. To top everything off I'm going out of town tomorrow and now have no phone, no ipod, and no internet. Any suggestions would be appreciated, the only option I have for now is to go to AT&T tomorrow and rant for them to pull the info off my phone if possible and restore it for me. HELP!

HT201104 Can you sync contacts/calendar on ios 7 device after upgrading to iCloud drive?

I have an iphone 4 (ios 7, can't get 8). I don't care about accessing documents on iCloud drive with my phone.
I might want to do it with my ipad mini (ios8.1) though.
If I upgrade to iCloud drive will I still be able to sync contacts/calendar on my iphone?

I cloud drive IS not the SAME as I cloud you use for backups. I cloud drive is for moving docs, pics, etc. So if you upgrade to iCloud drive, yes you can still sync contacts, calendars, etc

I cannot restore ipad after upgrading to itunes 10.2.2.14

Since upgrading my Ipad to latest revision of Itunes, I can no longer sync and it now requires a restore. I took the Ipad to Best Buy and they restored it, but when I connected it back onto my PC, same thing happens. When I goto restore screen and click on restore, the block of info that comes up with ref X says, Software for this Iphone is not currently available. Make sure you have the latest version of Iteunes and try again. I check upgrade and it says I am current. What gives.??? This is second time for me in last year after an upgrade once before.

Same problem but using Windows 7 32 bit (German version).
De-installing and re-installing iTunes didn´t help.
I "downgraded" back to iTunes 10.1.2 and the error vanished.

On FileHippo go to the iTunes page. On the right you´ll see earlier versions.
And I had to replace my library file with the back-up version from yesterday.

Can't see purchased music, movies, or TV shows after upgrade to iTunes 11.1.2

I upgraded my Macbook to the new Mavericks OS and also updated iTunes to the newest version 11.1.2 on Wednesday. Since then I have been unable to view any of my purchased music on the iTunes Store. The purchased page comes up blank. However I am able to view it the purchased music via the iTunes Store link on my iPod Touch and iPad.
I'm also unable to download the movies and TV shows that I purchased on iTunes on my computer. They show up under purchased but they do not have the cloud icon on them for me to download. When I click on them it takes me to the page to purchase them again. However when I view them on my iPod and iPad they have the cloud link so that I can download them without having to pay for them.
Is anyone else having these issues since downloading Mavericks and iTunes 11.1.2? I tried downloading some of the purchased music to my iPod and syncing with my computer but after 4 hours of the spinning wheel I gave up on trying to sync my iPod.

Found a solution from the Apple Support Team. The link below will tell you what to do to get your cloud content to show up in your library so that you can download it.

Just scroll down the Mac and PC section and choose the version of iTunes you have and it will provided step by step instructions. Worked for me!

4404 WLC stuck in boot loop after upgrade

In prepping for the upgrade to 4.1.185.0 I've got two controllers at different sites stuck in a boot loop after applying 4.0.219.0. Units will not even get to the <ESC> option menu.
ANy ideas?

Did you clear the configuration on the controller by using Option 5 in the boot menu? This will corrupt the boot image. You should not choose the clear config (option 5) from the boot menu on controllers running 3.2.78.0, 3.2.116.21, 3.2.150.6 or 3.2.150.10, 3.2.171.5 or 3.2.171.6, 4.0.155.5 or 4.0.179.8 and 4.0.179.11.

IPod 5 stuck in recovery loop after updating to iOS 8

I own a 5th Generation 32GB iPod Touch. The other day, I tried to update it to iOS 8. Shortly after the installation process began, it went into recovery mode. I believe it's in a recovery loop because I tried using tinyumbrella to exit recovery mode, and the screen went black, the Apple logo came up like it was trying to boot up, but instead went right back into recovery mode. Does anyone know any way I can fix this?
Another note, if I can get it out of the loop, I believe I can get it out of recovery mode. So even if you only know how to get it out of the loop, that info would be very appreciated. Thank you.
EDIT: I do have a backup on iCloud, but it's from about nine months ago. I'd really like to be able to save all those photos and videos I've taken since then. I can get my apps back easily, but there's a lot of data that won't be as easy to get back.

Ipod and iphone no longer recognized after upgrade to 8.0.1

I just updated my iTunes to the 8.0.1 version and now none of my ipods or my iphone connect with itunes AND they won't charge via the usb cable that connects them. They worked perfectly until I installed the upgrade. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? If I uninstall iTunes and replace with previous version, will the tv shows I"m currently downloading that say 8.0.1 is required for their download, still play? Will my library still work?
Thanks for your help.
Paula

Well another reboot seemed to fix it for now. Problem solved
