How to restore ipod via itunes while ipod is in disk mode?

I am trying to restore my ipod via itunes. My ipod is corrupted and I can only connect it to the computer while the ipod is in disk mode. After ipod is connected and in disk mode, the first stage of restore via itunes begins, the bar appears, fills up and then disappears. Then my ipod seems to disconnect from the computer and begin an infinite reset loop algorithm. How do I successfully restore my ipod while it is in disk mode?

I have the same problem, but my ipod stays in disk mode all the time. Won't show in iTunes.tried Apples suggestion to restore in disk utility, but no dice! I have tried everything and now I will give up, maybe it's too old?

File size reduction from hard drive to iPod via iTunes?

Is it possible to reduce file size when adding music to iPod via iTunes? For instance, if I have downloaded songs at 320kbps and have a file that takes up, say, 10MB on my hard drive can I reduce this in size when transferring to iTunes/iPod so as to increase available storage space on iPod?
Thanks.

Nope. iTunes only offers this option for the iPod shuffle.

I would appreciate your support to help me figure out if this problem is solvable.
The error comes about whilst trying to download certain apps from the app store, including CSR Racing which when i tap on install a message box pops up saying "This App Is Incompatible With This iPod touch", another time for a different app it came up with a message saying "This app requires OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics capability.
Main questions:
What was achieved from the latest forces iPod touch 2g update (17/07/2012)?
solvable problem(s)?
Will i need to buy a more recent model of iPod touch if this isnt fixable?
ps. My iPod has lasted me 3 years so far so i am not suprised, still in good nick!
thanks, Sim x

i saw something on itunes just a moment ago saying iPod 1g can download 3.1 update for £2.99, will this help with the compatability of the csr racing app at all with that individual problem? |http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052] (html for this)
i didnt think graphics could change via software updates

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

You could try my script ConvertFormat and see if you like the results. Would be easier than inserting the CDs and correcting the tag info again. Just be aware this is a one-way trip. Once you've thrown away some quality to shrink the files you can't get it back without going back to the source. You may better off investing in a bigger drive.
If you just want to squeeze more on the iPod you can use the built-in iTunes option to convert files to a lower bitrate as they are added to the device.

How many ID Apple have you got? more than one?
If so, in you Itune go to Store->Account
Log-in using the same email and password you used in your Iphone and click on see account.
There you will see all your account information... Look for Purchase History and see if the apps your iphone is saying you have to update is on the list. If they are not listed on the Purchase History is probably because you got them using another ID Apple.
But on the other hand if you see your apps on this list, try to click on "RESET ALL WARNIGS FOR BUYING AND DOWNLOADING ITEMS".
Log-out and try again to update your apps using your Iphone.
By all mean if you have to change you ID Apple in your Iphone go to SETTINGS->STORE on the botton you will see your ID Apple (click on it and a pop-up will show asking you to change you ID Apple) change for your new ID Apple and try all again.
If any path I described here looks different in you Itune is because mine is in Portuguese

Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
It says ;
Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
Continuing...
And stops ...
Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)

HT4236 how can i delete pictures i put on my ipod via itunes because i cant delete ones i dont want any longer

how can i some of the pictures i synced onto my library via itunes?

Delete it the same way you put it there. The sync process.
Open itunes, connect iphone, select only the albums you want on the iphone, sync.

How to restore my music to my iPOD??

Im an idiot! I told someone to just sync up their iPOD to their new laptop via iTunes and now of course the iPod is blank! It sync'd FROM iTunes TO the iPod and so it wiped his iPod clean.
How can I help restore the original music to the the iPOD? I assume they have another computer at home with the music on it.

They have 2 options.
1. Re sync with the previous pc.
2. Transfer their music from the old pc to the new laptop.
Other than those options, they are screwed.

How to move podcasts from iTunes to iPod...nano 2nd gen with iTunes 8.2.1,

...that don't have the little blue dot indicating that they've not been listened to? These podcasts aren't sync'ed to iPod bec iPod thinks that they have been listed to and they haven't. How to 'restore' these podcasts to their original 'unheard' status? The solution appears to manually manage podcasts, but I couldn't follow directions which I think were intended for iTunes 9 --such as find the Source and go from there (no "Source" on my iTunes).

You can also change your settings from iTunes under the 'podcasts' tab of your ipod. If you set it to sync all episodes instead of all unplayed episodes it should work just fine.
If you wanted to pick which podcasts sync but don't want to manually manage, you could also create a smart playlist that chooses all 'checked' podcasts and sync that playlist instead. Then only the podcasts you check will be synced, regardless of whether or not they've been played.

RESTORE button on iTunes for iPod Touch 2G

Hi
I have an iPod Touch 2G & have upgraded to firmware 3.0
If I Click on restore Button on itunes will it restore my old OS & still get to keep all my applications & data? .....
Thanks
flossed

If you've installed 3.0 then Restoring the Touch will simply re-install 3.0 and (optionally) your last backup.
If you want to go back to 2.x, then search on "DFU mode" for several threads explaining how to roll back. However, doing so will require you to restore the Touch as a new iPod, which means losing all your contacts, calender, game data, web links, etc. Also note that some Apps purchased with 3.0 in mind may not work with 2.x.
