How to fix my Ipod 3rd Generation?

I got a notification that I should download the new IOS 5 software for my ipod. When I did so the download was fine but when I was installing it to my ipod it just didnt work. Now my ipod has a black screen. When I turn it off then on again it tells me to connect to itunes. I do so, itunes tells me I need to restore my ipod, so again I do, it says that itunes is preparing ipod to be restored then I get a error code come up of 1604. I followed every instruction it tells me to do to fix it and after 24 hours of doing the same thing my ipod is still a black screeen. How else can I fix this?

    I have a cable to connect the two devices but, unlike my PC (which I am hoping to put away in the loft forever!) there does not seem to be a sync option in iTunes

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for (USA) $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    how to put ipod 3rd generation on the disk mode manually?

    I am having this problem as well. I've tried dozens of times at this point. I can produce the apple icon but when I release and press play+select it just reverts back to the red x. The red x is the whole reason I'm trying to get this into disk mode. I need to reset it but I can't until it is in disk mode. I've tried the flat surface, one finger etc etc but disk mode still eludes me. Any other thoughts?

    If the iTunes purchases are not in your iTunes library you can redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If you restore from backup, not that synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup and thus if those items are not in the iTunes library they can't be restored to the iPod during the latter part of the restore process.

  • How to reboot iPod 3rd generation

    I found my old iPod 3rd Generation and I was wondering if anybody knew if there was any way how to turn it back on. Thanks.

    You can get a FireWire 800 (what your Mac has) to FireWire 400 (the older type) adapter AND a FireWire docking cable (probably available on eBay or other online source).  The adapter may also be called a FireWire 9-pin to 6-pin adapter.  For example
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other+World+Computing/FIR1369AD/
    Connect the adapter to the Mac's FireWire 800 port and docking cable to the adapter, and that should work to connect and charge your iPod.
    Another way allows you to connect it with a USB port, but it requires a special docking cable AND a FireWire power adapter.  The special cable has a dock connector that splits off into two cables, one with a FireWire plug and one with a USB plug.  The USB connects to your Mac's USB port (for the data connection) and the FireWire connects to the FireWire power adapter (for power).  This was Apple's way to allow Windows users (who usually do not have a PC with FireWire) to use iPods (before the fully USB-compatible 4th gen iPod).  It is no longer sold by Apple, but I found an example on eBay
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Apple-iPod-Dock-Connector-to-FireWire-and-USB-2 -0-Cable-to-your-iPod-/111300870360
    Of those two methods, the one using your Mac's FireWire port with an adapter is probably better.
