HT1212 Having trouble restoring iPod Touch.

Each time I've tried to restore my son's iPod touch I'm told that his software has an update available which needs to be done first; however, each time that I try to update it, I'm told that the file was corrupted and to try again. Each time takes over 13 minutes and I've tried several times already. Is there a way to restore without the update? I can always try that again some other day.

try the manual install included here:

  • Trouble restoring iPod Touch 1st generation

    I have been trying to restore my iPod Touch 1st generation for hours now.  Each time, I connect to iTunes, click Restore, accept the agreement and begin the download.  Each time, the progress bar says it will take 2 hours to download.  After about 10 minutes, the download times out and I get an error message to try again later.  On one attempt, the progress bar got down to 20 minutes remaining before it timed out.  Is there any other way to downlaod the Touch software I need so that I can then restore my data from an iTunes backup?

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer

  • HT1212 How I restore iPod touch disabled due to pass code error .know i know the pass code

    how i restore the disabled i pod due to passcode error

    Not knowing what you mean by passcode error:
    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    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.

  • Having trouble connecting iPod Touch with iTunes 8.2

    I have a first generation iPod Touch 16GB, before the recent 8.2 iTunes update (or it may have been 8.0, I tend to ignore those annoying 'please update now messages')my iTunes worked properly, and the Touch would sync whenever I connected it.
    Now when I connect the iPod to my computer it no longer shows up in iTunes, the computer (running Windows Vista Basic) recognizes the iPod is there, and the iPod charges properly. iTunes itself however is oblivious.
    I've tried completely reinstalling iTunes like the support page suggests, but the problem persists, it is getting quite annoying now since I cannot get the new 3.0 OS update or put new music on.
    Can anybody help?

    I have the same problem, but mine won't even take a charge from the computer, or my docks. I have to plug it into a wall wart usb charger and then it works fine. Can't get my computer to recognize/sync it since the "upgrade" to 8.2. The only responses worth a crap on this topic say to just be patient because it is now a known bug they are working on. IMO I wish Apple would stop acting like MS and stop releasing stuff that hasn't been properly beta tested. This glitch has occurred for thousands of users, and any basic cross platform testing process should have revealed this problem in the first 5 minutes. Yet ANOTHER embarrassing POS from the "new" Apple.

    Try:

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all media and resync

    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: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • HT201210 having trouble restoring my I pad device

    Having trouble restoring my i pad 2 . When I attempt to use safari the screen has a black film and wont allow me to access the web, although I can see all the web addresses All the other areas work properly. So I tried to restore my i pad but I was not able to. Any help would be appreciated . Thanks

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    im having trouble connecting ipod  to denon avr x1000

    Those converters like the AsanteTalk are notorious for not re-acquiring Printers that drop out for any reason.
    Get everything else powered up, then cycle off the AsanteTalk, count slowly to 10, then power the AsanteTalk on last.

    I'm in trouble, my iPod Touch is giving 4th shock when recharge and the battery does not last any more. who knows or has a similar problem, please help me. Note: all this after I downloaded the new version OS5.

    I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store because of the shock issue. I doubt it was caused by the update.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

  • HT4972 I installed a new display screen and now im having trouble restoring my ipad

    I am having trouble restoring my IPad after changing the display. Is there a trick to it.

    No one here would know.
    Performing repairs on your iPad voids your warranty, so we would most likely seek a replacement through Apple.
    You might want to seek advise from wherever you bought the screen.
