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.
If it is a 5G iPod with iOS 7 or later you will then have to enter the Apple ID and password of the last user.. See:

    Can not restore ipod touch. About 167MB of 346,8MB get loaded than download stops, a few minutes later:  ERROR 3259! ( High Speed Internet Connection 16000kBits/sec)

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • Restore Ipod touch without using a computer

    My Laptop is not working and My daughter forgot her password How do I restore it? HELP we are going on holidays tomorow.

    Then you need an internet connection for both the iPod and an another iPod, iPhone or iPad with the FIndMyiPhone app and
    Only if:
    If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
    Otherwise youu need a computer with itunes and an internet connection:
    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen

  • Can't restore ipod touch 2g (MC)?

    Important info beforehand: I have a iPod Touch 2g MC model, on iOS 4.2.1. I use the latest iTunes update, and my laptop OS is Windows 7...
    Hello all!
    Here's the backstory, I am new to the support community and have started using it just to find a solution to this following problem:
    I have realized that my iPod is cluttered with loads of stuff that I dont actually use and is running alot slower than it could, so I decided to restore it to a clean, default iOS 4.2.1. I also had a passcode on it which i had forgotten (after not using the ipod for quite some time), and this made a restore the only option available if i wanted to use my iPod.
    So, I plug my iPod in, it starts syncing and I cancel it to save some time. Then I click the little "Restore" button and a small window pops up saying "Contacting the iPod software update server" and I wait for iTunes to do its thing... After about half a minute, I am faced with a different message, an error this time, saying "The iPod software update server could not be contacted" and I click ok and nothing happens... At this point in time I notice the "Accessing iTunes Store" mesage at the top of itunes is still going where it should have stopped ages ago, but i put it aside. I then procede to put my ipod in Recovery Mode and try the restore again and, again, the same error mesage. Hmm... I know i have previously downloaded the 4.2.1 ipsw file somewhere, so I search my computer for it and once i find it I shift click the restore button and restore with the ipsw. This time, the restore process seems to go through normally, up to the point where I would normally be faced with the screen in iTunes where I can set up my iPod as a new one or not, however, this does not happen. My iPod boots up to a "Connect to iTunes" screen, with no unlock slider, but it does have the battery icon in the top right hand corner...  It is connected to iTunes? And on the iTunes window it seems to recognise my iPod but when i click the iPod tab under Devices on the left hand side of iTunes, I am taken to a Blank screen with the word iPod is displayed right in the middle, and there is the "Accessing iTunes Store" still going at the top... This is the point I am at... I've searched for hours on the internet but to no avail ... I've even re-installed itunes and all apple software AND I've re set the hosts file, Which all of this seems to be linked to... I also cannot access the iTunes store and cannot authorize/de authorize this computer without another one at my disposal... Help!
    I highly doubt this is a common problem but if it is (Or isn't for that matter) and someone knows a fix, please, PLEASE tell me ASAP!!
    Thanks Everyone!
    Cameron

    I was looking to see if it could be a server-side problem! I've already tried that link before, I guess I'll have to try everything again tomorrow when its not 12 minutes pat midnight haha! Thanks for your help

  • How to restore ipod touch without using itunes

    Did a software update for my ipod touch and now my ipod is stuck on the connect to itunes screen and itunes and my computer don't recognze the device. I can get it into recovery mode and see it under devices on my computer but it won't install the drivers that are needed for the ipod. I have done every possible step in the troubleshooting guides. I keep getting the same error message saying that the device driver software was not successfully installed. itunes won't recognize the ipod, under my computer does not dispaly ipod as connected, I can view that it is in recovery mode under the devices and printers but the drivers will not install by following the steps on apple support. Any advice will be much appreciated. Please don't just give me a link to some support section on apple because I have tried them all. I am using windows 7 professional and have updated to the latest version of itunes.

    Sounds like you might want to take a look at this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    It has a lot of steps that can help you deal with why your device isn't showing up within iTunes, but does show in recovery mode.

  • Can you navigate Ipod Touch via computer? Un-Jailbroken

    Im curious to know if there is any way to navigate my Ipod touch 4th Gen via computer? I recently broke my screen at work and it was no biggie till it began to bleed in spots and eventually going white.Before it was just cracked and i was able to navigate effortlessly with no issues and now it is impossible cause i can't see what im doing. I ask because i still wanna use it,mainly the camera but am unable to get around.Is there a way to navigate via computer,or use my camera via computer as my screen? Im unable to afford to fix it at this point (other priorities) so im looking for a temporary solution till it is feasible for me to repair it. my ipod is not jailbroken so im unable to use its advantages but any ideas or solutions that can help or lead me in a direction related to what im looking for,will be greatly appreciated. And any help on navigating the screen without seeing what im doing. Thanks!

    No. No way control the iPod from your computer. If yo could navigate a little on the iPod is at least one app that allows you to use the iPod's/iPhone's/iPad's camera by a computer program. I know the there is a program for a Mac but I do not know about Windows. However, you need to be able to open that app on the iPod.

  • Can I restore Ipod Touch without itunes?

    Im stuck on the apple logo, and I realize that I need to restore the firmware. My issue comes with Itunes (7). This program is SOOOO incredibly slow, that it actually crashes my router before the download is finished, and instead of simply pausing the download, it cancels it altogether.
    Is there a way to download the firmware from a third party, then install it using itunes?

    You need an internet connection using iTunes to restore the iPod.
