Firmware Upgrade causes ipod touch to crash

I have a Sumsung NC20 with Windows 7.
Whilst updating my ipod touch to firmware 3.1.3 my ipod was wiped clean of all music content and can no longer connect to itunes. my Itunes (latest version) says that the ipod cannot be validated.
Accordingly, I cannot even restore my ipod because itunes does not recognise it.

Hi,
First Restore the iPod shuffle with the iPod updater and then drag and drop this song to the iPod in iTunes source list. This should resolve the issue.
If not visit http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/ipod/
With Regards,
Santo

I can't upgrade my iPod touch (from version 1.1.5)

Hello there,
Sorry for my english if it's bad.
I have a problem with my very old ipod touch (i got about 2 years ago).
Yesterday i decided that i wanted to download some games and applications to use on my Ipod touch, but after downloading one for free on the app store, i couldn't synch it on my ipod.
I was told that i needed to upgrade my iPod. It had the 1.1.4 version.
So i upgraded it, and it only upgraded it to the 1.1.5 version, which seems to be a very old version.
I do have the latest version of iTunes (version 9.2) but next to the upgrade button, my iTunes tells me that the 1.1.5 version is the latest version, and that it will search for new versions only on the 18.07.2010.
I would very much like to upgrade my ipod touch so that i can use some applications on it, but i just can't, apparently.
Thank you so much for your help, i'm pretty bad with this stuff.
ps: i have a macbook pro that i bought one year ago, so my computer isn't very old either...

iPod Touch 2nd gen 32GB Mac OS 10.6.4
Since I have upgraded to iOS4, I have run into the following problems:
1: Safari crashes on many of my previously favorite websites. They start to load and whamo a back screen and then my home screen returns.
2: Very slow to open most apps. Takes many times as long as previously.
3: Slow wifi. I'm practically sitting on top of my modem and I am getting only one little rainbow bar showing. This happens at other wifi locations too, so it's not a modem incompatibility.
I have erased all of my coockies, history and cache to little avail.
I have restored my iPod from my Mac.
I have erased and re bookmarked my sites.
I'm only using up half of the RAM so its not that.
What else can I do. I love the folders, but this isn't worth it.
Thank you in advance.

Cannot upgrade my iPod Touch 3rd gen from 4.2.1 to 4.3.2. I click the button "check for updates" on iTunes and it says "This version of the iPod software (4.2.1) is the current version."

Ipod Touch keeps crashing/shutting down

Hello, My Ipod touch keeps crashing/shutting down/freezing. Any tips/hints ideas what is causing this?

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothng is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How do I upgrade my iPod touch to IOS 5.0.1 without losing my app data?

I want to upgrade my iPod touch (4.3.3) to IOS 5.0.1, but I don't want to lose my app data (Tiny Tower, etc.)
I transferred all my purchases to the host computer. I also backed up my app data. Before I update the IOS software on my iPod touch, I'd like to find out if the app data on my iPod will be erased as part of the upgrade.
If so, will a restore from backup restore the app data?

I upgraded my iPod Touch 4th Gen yesterday. Now it won't play music, which is the main thing I use it for. Over 11,000 songs [it's a 64GB model] -- will I actually have to restore the device and re-add all that music?

I upgraded my iPod Touch 4th Gen yesterday. Now it won't play music, which is the main thing I use it for. Over 11,000 songs [it's a 64GB model] -- will I actually have to restore the device and re-add all that music?
[Music files are still there, and I can play them on my computer directly from the iPod [just one track at a time] but not in the usual way, through headphones.]
On the Summary page of iTunes for the iPod, it shows 50-plus gigabytes of "Other" content and no music, which was not previously the case. I assume this is related to the problem.
I can bring up individual tracks on the iPod and see cover art, but cannot play the music.

iCloud is free, iTunes match is $25 a year.
I had the same problem and when I went to Settings I had 0 songs, even though they were obviously still there since I only had 15GB free on my 64GB device.
I decided to do a complete reset/restore of my 4th gen iPod Touch, Bad move! I've been messing with it for hours, and it simply won't restore--it keeps hanging on a black screen with an Apple logo and a progress bar at about 10%, sometimes it goes completely blank and tries again, with the same result. (I've posted my question/plea for help here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19735862 )
I'm ready to bang my head against the wall! I can put the device in recovery mode, connect to iTunes on my computer, and get it back to the setup screen, but when I go through the process again and try to do an iCloud backup I get the same reset/restore loop.
I could start from scratch, but I really, really, really don't want to go through all of my hundreds of apps, reinstall them one by one, etc. etc. etc.
I thought that once I started using iCloud, I didn't need to sync with iTunes anymore--guess I was wrong.

Upgraded my iPod touch to iOS5. How do I get my music back?

Using my MacBook Pro, I just upgraded my iPod Touch to iOS5 and it erased all the content on my iPod. Now how do I get the content back onto the iPod?

Thanks for your help, but I found an easier way: Since I have about 3000 songs, a few videos and a few audiobooks, it would have taken me forever to move each item one by one. So instead, I just dragged the content categories from the iTunes library into the iPod content catgories and it worked like a charm. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

That would be because iOS 4.3.x is not supported for the iPod Touch generation you have.

Ipod Touch keeps crashing, now wont open at all.

I got my ipod touch a little under a year ago, and soon after getting it i noticed that the music would randomly stop and go to the homepage. It wasn't that bad because the music would always come back up, and it didn't happen that often. But then it started getting more and more often. Recently it started taking two or three times to get music to open, and now it crashed last night, and even after two hours of nothing but trying to open it, it still wont open. I'm getting a new ipod soon, but i wanted to know if there was any quick fix.

This is kinda weird... My iPod touch keeps crashing although I got os 3.1.3.
It always crashes while tring to play chalkboard stunts.
I got a second generation iPod touch. Any help would be very helpful.
