Help!!! Problem when uploading new ipod touch software

Hi, really hoping someone can help!
I connected my ipod to itunes and it asked me if i wanted to download new software for ipod touch so i did, then when it finished downloading it automatically started updating my ipod but before it finished i got an error message saying something like could not upload new software on ipod. i clicked ok and my ipod disappeared from the display list on itunes
now my ipod isn't showing in itunes despite being connected via USB and it won't do anything, i just have a screen with a picture of a usb and an arrow pointing to the itunes icon.
i have absolutely no idea what to do now, please help!

  • I have a problem updating the new ipod touch 5th generation

    I have a problem updating the new ipod touch 5th generation and I need help:
    With each attempt I receive the message:
    iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode.  You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
    The iPod only displays a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an iTunes logo.
    I receive a "Are you sure..." message with the 2 options, one to Restore and Update and the other to Cancel.
    Each time I have selected the Restore and Update button and then moved through the acceptance screens.  Then iTunes begins to download the iOS 6.0.1 Software Update, which usually takes about 50 minutes.  During the download I will receive messages that an iPod has been found in restore mode.
    After the download is complete no update occurs to the iPod and iTunes displays the Device Summary screen showing derive Name as iPod and all other items as n/a.
    The iPod was working great without any known issues prior to attempting to update the OS.

    Maybe:
    iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
    Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • Help setting up my new IPod Touch on iTunes on windows 7 64bit

    Hello there,
    I need help setting up my new IPod Touch to my Itunes 10 application on a PC running windows 7 64bit. I have watched the tutorial on how to do it but what the tutorial says it is supposed to do is not what is happenning for me:
    1. In the tutorial it tells you to connect your ipod to your computer, then, (if it is for the first time) when the ipod appears and is selected, a window will come up allowing you to name your ipod, and begin selecting the options you wish to use.
    I did as instructed but quickly came against some technical issues.
    My issues:
    1-1: When I selected the new iPod Touch for the dirst time I got an error message.
    A) This was quickly fixed once I calld up apple support on the phone (turns out an IE browser setting was blocking it.)
    1-2: With that fixed I selected my iPod Touch again but instead of the window indicated by the tutorial, I instead got an iPod registration form window.
    1-3: I filled out the form and pressed the submit button (thinking everything was fine), then a new window came up that looks like this:
    Free Find My iPhone
    Free Find My iPad
    Free Find My iPod touch
    Set up Find My iPhone for free so you can locate your device if you lose it, remotely lock the screen, or wipe its data. You can also find your iPad or iPod touch.Set up Find My iPad for free so you can locate your device if you lose it, remotely lock the screen, or wipe its data.

    The first three lines and the first paragraph are indented as if there should be some type of graphic there, but it is missing. The underlined words indicate that they are supposed to be links, but they don't go anywhere, they are broken!
    Now wheenever I connect my iPod Touch and select it the above window comes up and nomatter what I try it will not move or change.
    Please help!

    No one here knows, no, and will not until either Apple makes an announcement or people actually see them appearing.

    i just want to know when the new ipod touch 5th generation will come out

    Apple has not announced any new iPod models. When they do, we'll all find out at the same time, I would guess, since the announcement will be prominent on every Apple-related web site and will probalby be posted in multiple threads in these forums.
    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

  • Error 20 when syncing new ipod touch

    I am having issues when trying to sync my new ipod touch (8gb 2nd gen). I have run diagnostics and the compu is recognizing the ipod is there. When I connect ipod to computer, it starts the sync process, but when it comes to the end and last process it comes up with error -20. I have now had this ipod touch for almost 3 weeks and have yet to be able to use it after rectifying other issues. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I think i had this error, Basically Try deleting your old backups of your iPod, I know it makes now sense, But try it, it worked for me

  • Does someone know when the new ipod touch is coming?

    Does it makes sence to buy the old ipod touch now or should we wait?

    Only you can make that decision. Apple has not made any announcement on a new iPod touch. It is against the terms of use of this Apple forum to speculate on such things.

  • I have an iBook G4, its current OS is 10.4.11(tiger i think) i cant update itunes past 9.2 which is a big problem for my new ipod touch 4th gen! please help me someone!

    hello, i have an iBook G4 which is old, it has an OS of 10.4.11 which is called tiger i think, forgive me im new to apple,
    it has a version of itunes installed (9.2) which worked fine with my 1st gen ipod touch but ive upgraded to a 4th gen ipod touch and now my itunes version is no longer compatible, the problem is that because my os is out of date i cant install the current version of itunes so i  think i need to upgrade my OS.
    Like i say im quite new to apple so any help or information would be greatly appreciated. thank you

    As Niel has suggested Mac OS X 10.5 Lepaord.
    But first of all make sure that your iBook is above 800Mhz and you have at least 512 Meg of memory. (1 GB recommended)
    Please note, that if you do install Mac OS X 10.5 on your iBook, it will not allow you to install the latest version of iTunes version 11. The most recent version of iTunes that can be installed would be 10.5, which will be compatible with your iPod touch 4th gen, provided it's not been updated to iOS 6.
    Sadly you can't install any version of Mac OS X above 10.5 Leopard, as it they requires an Intel processor, which your iBook G4 does not have.
    Hope this helps.

  • HELP! My brand new iPod touch 5th generation might be broken!

    Hello, I recently got my Space Gray iPod touch 5th Generation that is 32GB and version is iOS 7.1.2. When I finally got it and was opening the package and trying to open it. I didn't know that there were 2 tabs on the bottom and top and I tried to pull the ipod out itself. I noticed I had to pull the tabs and then I got paranoid that I bent the ipod and it broke from the inside. Anyways, I set it up with no problem but when I went to sign in to App Store from my apple account and switched the keyboard to the numbers and other characters the keyboard got these weird short white lines and I got paranoid but when I switched the keyboard again and went back to the numbers keyboard the white lines did not appear. Now nothing strange is happening but I though that was a sign of my ipod was broken from the inside so I shaked ipod and heard nothing rattling from the inside so that gave a little relief. But I'm still VERY stressed out and paranoid because my mother got me this iPod from going to 5 stores to find the color I wanted and now I thought I was going to break it . Please help me apple community. Is the inside of my ipod ok? are there any other signs of the inside of the ipod broken? Please help, I'm only 12 and I'm going through so much stress .

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • New iPod touch software - How do I get rid of the notification?

    Hi Support
    I have a pre 'January update' iPod touch.
    I have upgrade to iTunes 7.6 and the touch to 1.1.3 but I get a screen asking me to buy the new update. I do not want this software or a least I do not want to pay for this (thats not my argument - but I'm unhappy).
    My question is how can I remove this information?
    The only options are remind me later or buy it.
    I would like to never be reminded about this software again, for the moment to allow me to use my iPod I have selected remind me later.
    Please let me know how to fully remove it.
    Signed,
    E. Moloney
    Unhappy Customer.

    So I am not alone. I sent in the following e-mail to Apple Support. I am not a happy camper for the nag bug and for the way they are treating products still under warranty. If this was just something else in the Store like a game and I could ignore it, I couldn't care less, but a firmware update being forced upon you at a price is actually more like a ransom threat.
    "Every time I connect my Touch, I now get this announcement forcing me to either buy a software "update" I don't want to pay for OR to pick an option to be nagged about the update. There is no option to say "No Thanks". I just purchased my Touch. It is still under warranty. How can you now want to force me to purchase this "update". I don't mind the option to be asked once if I'd like to buy new software, but to buy a software update for a product bought less than 30 days ago? Please either make this software "update" free to Touch's under warranty or change it to be offer for an optional new software add-on, but don't force me to buy this firmware. I love my 3rd iPod, but..."

  • New Ipod Touch Software updated?

    I just bought an Ipod Touch for a gift, does anyone know if it contains the January software update? Do they sell them with the update or do you still have to pay for the update. I would like to give the item wrapped but if there is no update I would like to open it and install the update. Thanks

    One would think this, but if you look there are several folks who recently bought an iPod Touch that was not upgraded. I guess it would be safer to say that by now, all the ones at Apple's stores have the upgrade and most from other reputable dealers will have it.
    The safest way to check is to look at the model number if it ends in /A it is the original software, if ti ends in /B it has the upgrade.

    - Only Apple knows and they have not yet made an announcement.  It is against the terms of this fourm to speculate about such things.
    - In the past the iPod line was refreshed in September.  However, the in past the iPhones were refreshed in June but not this year.
