Failed restore in itunes

My ipod touch failed to switch on. Reboot failed. Restore in itunes failed with unknown error (4005). it proceeds through the software extraction step but hangs on 'waiting for ipod', then gives the error message. What can I do next? Tried with security disabled and with selective startup as per apple advice.

  • I just updated my iphone to ios7 and I keep getting stuck at the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. I click 'Restore from Itunes Backup', but it only ends up restarting after restoring and fails to get past the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. Any ideas?

    Normally, I would suggest restoring the iPad and uninstall and reinstall iTunes but you have done both of those things - more times than you ever imagined!
    Have you thought about turning auto syncing off?
    Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    If you do this you can backup the iPad right away before it syncs. You may want to go into all of the iTunes tabs and just make sure that all of the current content on the iPad is selected to sync before you actually do sync.
    This doesn't solve the problem, but it would prevent the automatic sync and erasing content. Hopefully, in the next few days- when iOS 5 is released - you will also be relieved of this weird iPad behavior - since the iOS devices are supposed to become PC free.
    BTW - and this is no excuse for what you are experiencing, but I have found that some of the game apps that I had on my iPad turned out to be quite troublesome and after I removed them, my problems went away. I know that is almost sacrilege with regard to the Angry Birds addiction .... But I'm just saying ...

  • Failed to Restore from iTunes 11

    Good Morning,
    After my son accidently clicked a link to try to jailbreak my iPhone 4 I tried to restore it through iTunes 11 and it won't accept the restore.  I've tried reseting the iPhone to no avail.  The phone will turn on and display the iTunes logo with the USB cable and when it gets to the point of loading the IOS software and verifying it with Apple, it fails and throws up a 40 error code.  I've looked up the error code and it has to do with jailbreaking the iPhone.  What are my options at this point?  Is there a fix for this, or am I outta luck?  Any helpful advice would be appreciated.
    Chris

    Try this:
    1. Close iTunes.
    2. Connect your iPhone to your computer and then launch iTunes.
    3. Turn your iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone).
    4. Then, hold down the sleep/wake button and home button together for EXACTLY 10 SECONDS, then release the sleep/wake button.
    5. Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected. When you are in DFU mode your iPhone screen will be completely black. Remember that if you see the restore logo, iTunes logo, or any message on the iPhone screen, you are not in DFU mode but standard Recovery Mode.
    6. Hit the OK message that should popup to restore your phone. Restore as "New".
    Good luck.

  • Recently I erased an iPhone 3 so that it could be passed on and used by someone else, using the erase all content and settings feature. This has killed my iPhone and it is now stuck on the Apple logo. I have tried a restore in iTunes but recovery fails.

    Recently I erased an iPhone 3 so that it could be passed on and used by someone else, using the erase all content and settings feature. This has killed my iPhone and it is now stuck on the Apple logo. I have tried a restore in iTunes but recovery fails. This is not a jailbroken iPhone. Anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?

    If you haven't already tried, see if you can force it into recovery mode to restore it:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.  If that doesn't work, the last thing you can try is to put it in DFU mode to restore it: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2648467?threadID=2648467&tstart=0.

    If it's in recovery mode, you'll have to restore it.  No choice.

  • My iPhone 4s screen went black. I can hear the phone receiving messages though. I tried to restore through itunes. I failed because "find my iPhone" app is on, I cannot switch it on since the screen is black and I can't see

    My iPhone 4s screen went black. I can hear the phone receiving messages though. I tried to restore through itunes. I failed because "find my iPhone" app is on, I cannot switch it on since the screen is black and I can't see

    Instead of trying to restore through iTunes, use the Find My iPhone to your advantage.
    Either go to www.icloud.com and perform a remote wipe of the device via FMiP, or download the FMiP app to another iOS device and do it from there.
    A remote wipe will also restore the device back to factory settings.

  • How can I restore my itunes library from iphone 4?

    My backup files failed to restore my itunes library music after I had to reinstall Win 7. I followed all the instructions from Apple but my music library is empty. It now shows duplicate folders in my itunes file under 'My Music.'
    Is there a third party software that will let me back up my iphone music so it will not get erased by itunes? Or is there some way to use icloud to send my iphone music to itunes?

    lol, nevermind. I came across an article that made it easy. For anyone else with this problem it's real simple.
    Open itunes
    File>Add Folder to Library
    select 'itunes' and it will add your music to your library
    Although it went through all my apps asking if I want to replace or don't replace with newer, when it finished all my music appeared in itunes just like I left it before reinstalling Win 7. Easy Peasy. I've seen others with same problem but nobody seemed to have this easy solution.
    Now I can finally plug in my iphone and sync without losing all my music from my iphone.

  • IPod Touch 2G 32GB with White Apple Logo and Failed Restore / Recovery

    My Specifications:
    iPod Touch 32GB 2G
    iPhone OS 3.1.3
    2.8 Ghz. Intel Core 2 Duo iMac
    Mac OS 10.5.8
    iTunes 9.0.3 (15)
    Problem:
    After updating my iPod Touch to OS 3.1.3, my iPod touch started having sync issues where it would say the sync failed. The backup files stopped being created and the latest version was over two weeks old (from prior to the updated to 3.1.3). After an application became unstable and crashed frequently, I tried to do a reboot by holding the Power & Home buttons until the Apple Logo appeared to begin the reboot process. After waiting for 6 hours, the ipod still had not rebooted but was frozen on the White Apple Logo screen.
    Troubleshooting Steps I’ve Take:
    1. Attempted to follow Apple Frozen iPod Touch and Common Issue Troubleshooting Guide. The iPod will not shut down using the Power Slider function.
    2. Restore via iTunes using the DFU Restore Function (Power Button & Home Button for 10 seconds, releasing the Power Button, followed by plugging in the USB cable while holding the Home Button down). iTunes recognized the ipod at the point and began the restore process. The process took almost 32 hours and when it was completed, the ipod would not boot up by remained with the White Apple Logo. My original attempt was with using a powered USB hub.
    3. Repeated the restore process but by plugging directly into the computer and eliminating all USB devices except keyboard and mouse. Deleted the OS 3.1.3 updated and made iTunes download the file in case it was corrupted.
    4. Rebooted computer between each attempt.
    5. Deleted iTunes and the Apple Mobile Device Services as per Apple Article HT1747. Rebooted the computer and reinstalled iTunes. iTune would not recognized the iPod Touch to do a restore using the DFU method. I’ve retried various timings and versions with the cable plugin, booting with the cable plug in and not plugged in, etc... No effect.
    6. Repeated the above steps on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6. iTunes wouldn’t recognize the iPod.
    7. Repeated the above steps using a different sync cable. iTunes wouldn’t recognize the ipod.
    8. Unplugged the iPod and let it completely drain until the screen went blank for 1 day. When pressing home button the Low Battery / Plug In warning appears. Recharged the battery using a wall plug for 12 hours. Retried the above steps. No change.
    What I’ve Eliminated As The Problem Via My Troubleshooting:
    1. Computer Hardware
    2. iTunes Software
    3. Sync Cable
    4. USB Conflicts
    What I Need Is A Solution:
    1. Completely wiping my ipod is an acceptable solution at this point. I’ve spent a week working on this and wasted way too much time. Is my iPod trashed thanks to an OS update?
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've ready each forum posting involved White Apple Logo Issues and have come up empty. Am I the only persons would is having trouble restoring?
    Thank you,
    Paul

    More Troubleshooting Steps For Your Consideration:
    I was able to restore back to iPhone OS 2 by using a laptop that had not been synced with my ipod touch previously. When I did the DFU with it, iTunes downloaded OS 2 and it worked.
    Then I went back to my iMac and proceeded to install OS 3.1.3 and that seemed to work ok too.
    I've been getting the white apple logo of death, however, when I try to sync applications. All seems well, but as it is finishing the ipod touch reboots to the White Apple Logo Screen and stays there. iTunes seems oblivious to this taking place.
    During my second rebuild starting with OS 2 and then updating to 3.1.3, it worked again. When I tried to add apps, I only put on a dozen. That worked too. I did get the White Apple Logo Screen of Death once again and I did the third sync to get the rest of my apps in place.
    I'm on the third rebuild from version 2. I'm going to try to use an old file I have of 3.1.1 instead of 3.1.3. Also, I'm going to add one application per sync. At least this way I might be able to find out if it is a specific app that is causing the problems.
    In my further research, it appears that this bug has been in place since the early days of iPhone OS 2.
    All told I've spent over week with my computers tied up working on this problem. I think it would have more cost effective to just buy a new iPod. (I'd rather wait for the 4G version this fall!).
    Just in case anyone else has been having issues, that is where I'm at. I'll let you know if I figure this issue out in more detail.
    Thanks,
    Paul

  • Please help. Ipod has black battery and keeps saying need to restore via Itunes.. but when I restore it goes back to the way it was...

    Please can somebody help me.
    My iPod keeps saying I need to connect to iTunes and restore.
    I have done that, but then it says it has been restored and then reverts back again to same message.
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunately, it is possible that the iPod's hard drive has become faulty.  No matter how many time you Restore it, iTunes sees something wrong with the iPod's storage the next time, and asks you to Restore it again.
    There is one more thing I can think of, that you can try.
    Put the iPod into Disk Mode again.  With iTunes NOT running, reformat the iPod's disk like it was an external drive, using the Windows command.  Make sure you are selecting the iPod's disk for formatting.  Select the format type of "FAT."  If there is an option for a "quick" format, do not use it; do a "full" format.  If there is a physical problem on the hard drive, this formatting attempt may fail.  If it succeeds, run iTunes and do another Restore.  (Even if it does not prompt you this time, you need to do a Restore so that iTunes can re-install the iPod's onboard software.)

  • My Itunes account was hacked and my Apple ID was disabled. I followed the instructions from APPLE to backup and restore from Itunes but that did not work. Any suggestions?? Thanks!!

    Are you saying that you contacted Apple support and they instructed you to backup and restore your iPad? Or do you mean that you picked up this information from an online support article? If you spoke to an Apple rep or received these instructions via email, contact them again for further help.
    I fail to see how restoring your iPad would enable yoyr Apple ID.

  • IPad 3 bricked after IOS update, will not restore through iTunes

    Hi,
    I have an iPad 3 wifi/3g model that bricked after an IOS update 7.0.6. The update failed at about 70% (Apple Logo with progress line on screen) and rebooted into recovery mode. I've tried doing a restore through iTunes mulitple times and even looked at jailbreaking it but no luck. It always fails during the update and I have tried muliple computers (Windows and Mac) Different networks (Home/Work) but the issue is still there.
    The device won't go into DFU mode and in itunes it shows the serial number as n/a like the iPad has no software on it at all. I've tried everything I can thing of and I've had plenty of experiences recoverying and restoring IOS devices in the past. Tinyumberlla and other utils won't get it out of recovery mode and now iTunes won't even try to load the firmware back on the device, it just fails after extracting software.
    I'm thinking its now a hardware issue, does anyone have another solution to try?

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

  • Restore from iTunes breaks wifi, iOS 6 to iOS 8

    I recently switched from a 3gs to an unlocked apple factory refurb 4s. I used restore from computer backup on iTunes to transfer data and set up new phone.
    Phone functioned fine for about 2 weeks, and at that point, wifi failed. Traded it in on warranty for another one, restored from iTunes again, and both wifi and bluetooth failed in less than 24 hours.
    Tech at Apple Store said that restoring from computer on iTunes can put old, vestigial code on new phone, which can break the phone. He said I should set it up as new phone, and use iCloud to transfer data. He helped me set it up and do that, and while the process is not complete, it appears to me that there is no way to transfer some data, particularly on iMessage, onto the new phone. There is data on there that I need to retain access to. Is there any way to transfer that data to the new phone with out restoring from backup on computer? Alternately, is there anyway to set this new phone up by restoring from backup on computer without breaking it?

    I am in the same situation. I tried to update my ipad with IOS 8. I have successfully downloaded the software and when I clicked install the ipad went into recovery mode. I assumed that its part of the upgrade process. It asked me to connect to iTunes which I did. This never happened in any of the previous upgrade. How much ever I try the ipad never got out of the recovery mode. The only way was to restore the ipad. I assumed I would get an option to restore from the last backup which I did last night so I was confident that I am not losing any data. Surprisingly it never gave me an option from where it could restore and went all the way to restore to factory settings. And alas I see the ipad is restored to IOS 8.0 but with factory settings as brand new one. And now I don't see any of the previous backup's even existing. It has erased all the previous backups.
    Can you f...ing believe it. Apple can get so dumb ...no one could even imagine. It think it all died with Jobs.

  • Duplicate tracks having restored my iTunes ??

    Having just restored my iTunes library to a new laptop from an external hard drive all of my tracks are showing in duplicate. Is there a quick way to remove the duplicated tracks as their over 4000 and does anyone know why this has happened? 
    Thanks.
    Acer Aspire 8943G

    Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
