Cant Restore My Nano!!

HELP! I installed my ipod nano and it all worked fine, got a few songs on it. So i downloaded some more, ripped a CD i had and did nothing particularly life changing. Going back into i-tunes it all went a bit funny and came up with a message saying "Cannot read ipod please reset to factory settings" So i went into ipod updater (the version that was on the CD that came WITH the ipod) and was told "The attached ipod model is not supported by this application" so i went onto the apple website and downloaded the latest version of the ipod program, tried again and the same message appeared: "The attached ipod model is not supported by this application" any ideas?!?!?!

Click here and follow the instructions.

Looks like the iPod Hardisk is having problem.
Can you do the iPod Disk Diagnostics as posted by tt2, it wont fix your problem but helps in troubleshooting.
You system check maybe above but dont go for Auto, select the Manual test, as tt2 described in his detailed post.

Cant restore 80GB Ipod because I dont have the Internet???

So my wife bought me an 80gb Ipod and shipped it out to me (Im in Iraq). I hooked it up to my computer and it immediately started to work and sync all my music and what not onto it. I believe at the time I was using Itunes version 7.3. Well then I hooked it up to a friends computer and tried putting some music onto it and when I tried to eject it, it was taking forever! His computer was crazy slow so I got tired of waiting and just pulled the usb cord out of the computer. A few days later I tried to use it and all the music and videos were off the ipod but my photos were still on it. I tried to plug it into my computer and now im getting a message saying that itunes cannot read the contents of my ipod and that I need to go into the summary tab and restore it. So I try and restore the ipod but I CANT restore it because I dont have an active internet connection. And I will NOT be able to get an active internet connection to my laptop simply because im in Iraq!
So my question is, is there any other way I can restore the Ipod without the internet?? I downloaded and installed the new version of itunes 7.5 and it still doesnt wanna work or restore. I have no idea what to do.
We tried hooking it up to a friends computer and he said he found and fixed a virus that was on the ipod and then tried to bring it up on his computer. To our luck his computer recognized the ipod and it brought up all my music in his itunes. We tried syncing his library with my ipod, which it did! but when we ejected the Ipod. It still said no music or videos on it. But if you look at the memory space. It shows that it did infact sync his music but its labeled as "other" and not music. I then tried to hook it back up on my computer and it doesnt read it at all! I need help please!

Have you given the following a try?
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/#
Otherwise, I'd say are you positive that iTunes on your computer and on your buddies computer were the same version? Reason I ask is my wife and I just bought iPods last weekend. She got a Nano and I got a Classic. I plugged hers in first. Got the updates and updated iTunes as well. After all that and charging a while I tried mine. Nothing. I can only assume that the almighty OS known as Winblows was confused by the whole thing and thus thought my iPod was already updated to the latest software which I think is 1.0.3. Or something like that. I eventually got mine going but differences in versions is certainly a possibility.
Also, did you buddy have a USB 2.0 connection or 1.1? I noticed my wife's Nano taking much longer to charge than it should have. That's when I realized I had my stupid USB hub plugged into a USB 1.1 port on my computer instead of 2.0. So I'm just assuming this but I would say that could also cause the iPod to go slower. Just more to possibly explain why it was moving slow on your buddies computer.
Look at your iTunes and if you iPod does show up look to see what version of software it has. Could be the culprit. Unless this really does boil down to an internet connection which would be kind of stupid if you know you've got the latest software. iTunes shouldn't force you to do that. Hope I've helped in some way anyway. If not, good luck with this.
And aside from the iPod question, thanks for your service overseas. You guys are all certainly thought of here a lot and are appreciated. Stay safe!

Restoring ipod nano again and again

Hi
My ipod nano is saying "use itunes to restore" when i am doing that, itunes keps telling me to do it again. I just cant restore my ipod.
Need Help

Try putting your iPod into disk mode:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
And then try the restore again.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If it still doesn't work, you can try formatting the iPod:
Click on Start, right-click on My Computer and click Manage
Click on Disk Management (in the left-hand column)
Wait for Windows to connect to the Logical Disk Manager Service
When it does, you should see a drive listed that represents the iPod. (You can verify this by checking the capacity, which should be listed as slightly less than what is printed on the iPod. Or, you can open My Computer with the iPod disconnected, and then plug in the iPod to see which drive letter appears).
Right-click on the iPod’s drive and click on “format”
Set the parameters as follows:
Volume label = iPod
File System = FAT32
Allocation unit size = default
Uncheck the options for Quick Format and File Compression
Click OK to start the format.
When it’s done, try the restore in iTunes again.
If all else fails, the iPod may need to go in for service.

I cant restore my HP G62 notebook PC to factory setting as i get the message boot manager missing

I having trouble when i try to restore my laptop to factory setting, it tells me the Bootmanager is missing, this also happens with system restore.
It very slow, and restoring it to factory worked once upon a time, and my laptop was great after that.
I dont use it now as my main laptop, i have an Asus Transformer with windows 8.1, but its having its health check so im stuck with out it.
I rememberd my HP laptop, but forgot about its problem untill i started using it, and i still cant restore it to factory and still get "bootmanager " missing.
Please help, im disabled and rely on my laptop for shopping etc.
Thanks

Sorry forgot to add when trying to use the f9 button i am asked for an administrator password, where do i get that. Please can help.

Can't seem to restore my nano after intializing on a PC

OK, hopefully this is an easy fix.
I intially hooked the nano up to my work PC, but would, in retrospect, like to work with it on my home Cube Mac. I have tried to "restore" it so that it will work on the Mac, but when I open the iPod sofware updater, and it says, "Plug in an iPod to update", I do so and even though it will show either on the desktop or in iTunes itself, the little blue bars that should allow me to update/restore never become active.
Has this happened to anyone else, and if so what to do? I can't imagine why I'm not getting the option to restore the nano if that window comes up and it obviously knows I've plugged my nano in.
Help, please!?

Michael - Thanks! I used my wife's iBook, and it did indeed allow me to restore it there.
Unfortunately, now when I plug my nano into my Cube, it is still telling me that some of the tunes don't copy onto my iPod (in fact, none of them do) because I don't have the current software, and to install the latest by going to apple.com, blah, blah, blah.
I DO indeed have the latest software and both iTunes and my Cube recognize the nano. I just can't get it to copy them onto it.
Does anyone have an idea as to what I can do to actually get MUSIC to play ut of this thing! I've had it for a week and a half, and something as simple as getting tunes to load onto it is proving to be the hardest process ever! Arggghhhh!
The only thing I could think of - and this was late last night, was tha looking at the specs of iTunes 5.0.1, is that it requires a 500MHz processor - and my Cube only has a 450 MHz PowerPC G4 processor - Can anyone tell me if this is the problem?

I cant see ipod nano on itunes,

I cant see Ipod Nano (6th gen) on itunes windows vista operating system.
Jim

first of all, no one is going to respond to this becuase limewire is used basically in your situation illegally. But let's say you import a cd, left click on the songs you imported and hit get album artwork, if nothing comes up, the album sn't in the itunes database, get it online. And I suggest never to mention limewire and music files on the same post here, since limewire is a file sharing program. Use Itunes, it's easier. theo

Hi, I upgraded my Iphone 3gs from version 4.1 to 6.0.1 but upon restarting, the sim card is no longer recognized, i cant restore with itune nothing at all!! i'm so confused and ****** off... please provide any help

Is the SIM from the carrier the device is locked to?
Has the device ever been hacked or jailbroken?
Have you tried simply removing and re-installing the SIM? What about replacing the SIM?

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Cant restore?? Help please??

My ipod has suddenly stopped me putting songs onto it, it keeps coming up with the errors (-53)
Ive tries to restore it, it says it restoring but when its finished my musics still on it.
Can anyone help??

In addition i have to say that i am VERY dissapointed with apple customer service. There is no support contact information (at least i couldnt find one), there is no german support forum and the support pages are obviously wrong. For example the part in which they explain how to restore your ipod.
Let me quote:
"Click the Restore button. You will be prompted with one or more restore options that may prompt iTunes to automatically download of the latest iPod Software. The 4 possible restore options are:
* Restore Option 1: Restore - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod.
* Restore Option 2: Use Same Version - Restores with same iPod Software version already on iPod even though a newer version is available.
* Restore Option 3: Use Newest Version - Restores with the latest iPod Software available.
* Restore Option 4: Restore and Update - Restores with the latest iPod Software available.
Thats definetly wrong. I dont get these 4 option, my only option is to restore and update.
I cant understand why i cant restore my ipod without itunes connecting to apple-server. And as stated above i cant get a working connection (always timeout error) - all my other software which updates per internet works fine (for example antivirus software). Thats really annoying.
And on top there is no one i can contact personally if things dont work properly.

You backup the phone memory data through PC Suit to your PC-I find it more convenient to backup the data on PC.
