  • Having trouble with software update today for ipod touch

    I connected my touch to my WindowXP machine today and itunes indicated there was an update for the device (1.1.2...i believe). I was already running the latest version of itunes. The touch update downloaded and then ran for a long time but never seemed to finish. Eventually (i left it for at least 30 minutes), I disconnected and the screen indicated I needed to connect it itunes.
    I get an error that the unit is in recovery mode and needs to be restored, but that operation never completes either....runs indefinitely and never completes. Looking online, I found a method to reset the touch by holding down both buttons, but that doesn't help either. I never get the normal touch interface just the picture onscreen to reconnect it to itunes.
    During the restore process, I get the apple logo and the little circle motion that turns (like an hourglass, but not that shape) but nothing ever happens beyond that.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iphone 3gs wont update. itunes and ipod touch update no problem, my GF has exact same phone and hers updated also...any advice?

    My iphone 3gs wont update. itunes and ipod touch update no problem, my GF has exact same phone and hers updated also...any advice?

    If I was in your shoes, I would choose to restore the iPhone with iTunes and then choose to NOT restore a previous backup.  I'd then go on to set up the phone as though it were totally new, and choose the stuff to load onto it.
    The reason I'd go through that trouble.. even though it meant losing a lot of settings and having to set stuff up again .. is because I wasn't sure I could trust the backup that it's restoring from.
    If you have trouble again after doing the fresh reload -- especially if it's soon after you do it -- you may have a hardware issue with the phone, such as faulty flash memory or a processor chip that's failing. If that's the case, you'll want to consider your repair/replacement options at that point.

  • HT1386 Since installing the latest itunes to windows 8 my iphone and ipod touch is not being recognized in itune

    Since installing the latest itunes to windows 8 my iphone and ipod touch is not being recognized in itunes, therefore i can't change playlists or add songs etc. Is this a fault with itunes as it was fine with the older version or is there something i can do. I'm not on IOS yet but would like to backup my phone first but can't do that atm due to not being able to view my phone on itunes!
    Thanks

    Hi, jodie_0182.
    I would recommend the steps in the article below.  See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    If the above step does not resolve the issue, try all remaining steps in the article.

    If you still have the devices, import them to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then sync them to your current device.  If they are only stored in backups, the only way to access them is to restore the device to the entire backup.  Note: you can only restore photos in an iPhone backup to another iPhone, and from an iPad backup to another iPad.  If the backups are on your computer, you may be able to extract the photos from the backup using 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

  • Time Capsule, iPhone and iPod Touch

    I've backed up my MacBook and iMac on my 1TB Time Capsule, I've heard that you can also back up your iPod Touches and iPhone, I have contacts, music etc. on my iPhone and iPod Touch that I would like to be backed up, I'm not sure how to back both of them up, any information would be helpful, thanks.

    The backup of an iPhone and iPod touch occurs in iTunes itself. But do not rely on this as your main backup.
    Timemachine if setup will make a backup of your OS and iTunes information including the iTunes backup files it makes each time you sync and or restore and it mentions backing up or asks you to backup.
    If you really want to backup iCal and Address Book follow instructions below.
    1. Launch Address Book, And ensure it has all the same contacts iPhone does. if you have been syncing with address book then it will
    *Go to File - Export - Address Book Archive - Save to Desktop. Then save that file to time Capsule or some other backup device.
    2. Launch iCal, And ensure it has all the same calender data iPhone does. if you have been syncing with iCal then it will
    *Go to File - Backup iCal - Save to Desktop, Now save to time capsule or any other device.
    I personally recommending backing up like this biweekly or once a month to ensure you got the latest data backup.
    If you store them on Time Capsule also store them on another portable HD or even iDisk if you got a .Mac account. You can never have too many backups

  • TS3276 An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?

    An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?

    For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
    If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
    Problem solved.
    And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.

    If you are using the internet then it's eating away at your data plan, irrespective of your Apple ID.

  • TS1363 my ipod classic is visible in windows but not in itunes, this happens on 2 different computers where my iphone and ipod touch work fine which leads me to think something is up with the ipod itself and i cant find any threads to help

    my ipod classic is visible in windows but not in itunes, this happens on 2 different computers where my iphone and ipod touch work fine which leads me to think something is up with the ipod itself and i cant find any threads to help.
    any thoughts anyone??

    Perhaps the reason you haven't had any replies is because there is no such thing as an 8GB iPod Classic.
    I suggest that you begin by correctly identifying which iPod you have.

  • I don't want my music on my iPad as it takes up too much space, but I do want it on my iPhone and iPod touch.  How do it prevent it from going to iPad?

    How do I get my music only on my IPhone and iPod touch, but keep it off my iPad.

    If you're talking about stopping music purchased from the iTunes store automatically downloading to your iPad, go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and under Automatic Downloads and turn Music to Off.  If your talking about syncing with iTunes, just uncheck Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings before syncing your iPad.

  • How do I transfer my video's from my computer to my iphone and ipod touch?

    How do I transfer video's from my computer to my iphone and ipod touch?

    First of all..you need to make sure your videos are all in formats your iPod/iPhone can play.... eg .mp4. If they are not in that format... you will need to convert them using a video converter like  http://videoconverter.hamstersoft.com. It has a very easy to use interface. Once all your videos are in the proper format, go to iTunes and them using File -> Add File / File -> Add Folder.
    Then connect your iPhone/iPod  go to the Movies tab on your Phone's page and select Sync All Movies.
    Now, select apply to the bottom right and corner of iTunes and your phone should synchronize videos..
