Fail to restore my very old generation iPod touch

I'm trying to restore my very old generation iPod touch, but receiving "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." After clicking on the restore button, another message "The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1).".
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance!

My NEW Iphone 4 'restored' to my 3rd generation Ipod touch. How can I get the old settings back?

Please Help! I just got an IPhone 4 today from work and I wanted to 'sync' my IPod touch apps to the Iphone and it 'restored' to my OLD 3G Ipod Touch settings! How can I get it back to what it was when I received it from work? My work email account is completely GONE and it was already all set up when I recieved the phone. I am extremely worried that I won't be able to go back to what it was! PLease please tell me I can restore it back to how it was....with my email account all set up and everything. I would appreciate any help I can get...I just can't believe I did this!!! THANK YOU!

Unless the device was backed up prior to restoring the backup from the iPod Touch, there is nothing to restore.
Just set up the email account again... it's not difficult, but you may need information from your corporate IT dept to set it up.

My 2nd generation iPod touch keeps shutting off and I would need to restart all the time. Can apple still do anything about it even though it's a very old iPod touch?

Hi,
I've had my iPod touch for a really long time and it recently starts to shut off or freezes all the time. There is always batteries in it and I am getting annoyed by restarting it all the time. Is there any way to fix this and will apple do anything about it because it is a old generation iPod touch. Thanks!

Have you tried restoring to Factory Default (setup as new).

The battery can be replaced: http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipod
As far as crashing apps, it may or may not be related to the battery life. I suggest the usual "restart, restore" routine: http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/assistant/ipodtouch/

When i was waiting for an hour for itunes to grading my 2nd generation ipod touch to a 4.2.1 and it was about done, it suddenly said the network connection timed out and that made the upgrading a fail. Why does it do that? and what does it mean?

Is there any way to restore my first generation iPod touch?

I recently reset my first generation iPod touch. I completely wiped it. My friend told me that I couldn’t restore it since iTunes is on version ten and the first gen iPod touches don’t support anything past update 1.3. Does anyone know of where I can go to download really early versions of iTunes?
If yes, thank you so much! If not, thank you anyways!

Ah, it worked! Turns out my usb port on my laptop doesn't work.. Thank you so much!! <3

If I make a new itunes account on my(now my 12 year old brother's) first generation ipod touch, will any data be deleted? I keep telling him that i don't think anything will be deleted and he keeps saying that he'll have to download everythi

If I make a new itunes account on my(now my 12 year old brother's) first generation ipod touch, will any data be deleted? I keep telling him that i don't think anything will be deleted and he keeps saying that he'll have to download everything again. Please answer. I've asked identical questions but received no answers.

It shouldn't be. You can use multiple Apple ID's one one device. But keep in mind that purchases made under one ID are permanently tied to that ID. So if you need to update an app that was purchased with a certain Apple ID, it will needed to be updated with those Apple ID credentials.

How to resync third generation iPod Touch after backup and restore and re installation of the operating system?

Hello. I have a third generation iPod Touch that I have been having problems with the cover art not displaying by the correct artists and the volume automatically adjusting after spell check has corrected a word. I backed up and restored the device and reinstalled the operating system, which fixed the bug I experienced with the album art not displaying next to the correct artists. Since that has happened, my computer no longer recognizes my iPod. How can I get it to recognize the iPod Touch again?

Make sure you have the laters version of iTunes. The latest is 11.1
See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Run this to help if it identifies the cause

Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?
