If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

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.

  • I was updating my iPod touch to 4.2.5 when an error occurred and now my iPod is not recognized by my computer or under devices in iTunes.  My iPod is also stuck on a screen saying to connect to iTunes.  I tried resetting my iPod and it did not work.

    Please help!  I was updating my iPod to 4.2.5 and iTunes said that it was preparing my iPod for update.  Then an error popped up and now my computer won't recognize my iPod and it doesn't show up under devices in iTunes.  All it has on my iPod is a picture of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo.  I tried resetting my iPod and it just restarts to the same picture.  I tried restarting my computer as well.

    What was the error number?  That would be very useful since the following gives actions for various errors.

    Try manually placing the iPod in recovery mode to see if that will make the iPod visible in iTunes.  See:

  • HT1212 iPod touch disabled but I HAVE the passcode...

    Is there any way I can restore it with out erasing all the data?
    my son lucked out of his iPod touch (4th)... but I have his passcode... the problem is that I haven't synced it with iTunes in ages... (bad mommy...) and all of his games progress are going to be lost if I erase and restore it as instructed.... (not talking about the actual Apps that he'll loose but the progress of the game, data etc...) is there any other way to do it?
    thank you!!!!!

    You may be able to backup. Otherwise you will have to restore using the last backup you have. Some games maintain status on servers and for those games status will not be lost

  • IPod Touch 4g dosent register in iTunes leaving: error 0xE8000022

    So, no that long ago i was going to put on some music on my iPod Tough 4g then i connected it, iTunes didnt even try to find it, only left behind error message (0xe8000022) This is not normal, as when i jailbroke it, it still connected, then it acted up and it wouldnt connect.
    This is what i tried:
    Restarting the USB thingy
    Restarting the service
    Rebooted my computer a half a million times
    Trying another cord
    Running in Admin
    Reinstalling iTunes and its librarys
    Trying it on my laptop, (I use the desktop more, but still nothing)
    I find this error very annoying, the one thing i hate about it, is that it will show up in Windows.
    It charges and everything, but iTunes dosent try at all.
    Any help please? I would really like getting up and running again!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    try again to reset by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again. If still no luck, restore "as new ipod"

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • HT5569 My i-touch keeps searching for a wi-fi network where it use to connect and all my other apple devices still connect. I have reset, reload, off and on and off and on....what else could I try?

    My ipod touch just keeps searching for a wi-fi connection in my house where it use to connect automatically. My other apple devices still are connecting so not the wi-fi. I have reset to original settings, turned off-on-off-on... nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - 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.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. (I think you did this)
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • TS1433 I have tried to reset the SMC and still have the fans running. What else could be causing this?

    My iMac has been continuously running its internal fan. Sometimes with just the internet running, or upon startup. I put it into sleep mode and wake it back up, which turns the fan off, but sometimes it starts back up shortly after. I have tried resetting the SMC by powering off and unplugging. Anything else that could be causing this?

    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

  • How do I enable my ipod touch if I have forgotten my passcode?

    How can I enable my ipod touch if I have forgotten my passcode?  I can't restore it from itunes because it is locked.

    Hold down the sleep/off button for three seconds. Then keep holding it, and push the home button and old both for 10 seconds. The screen should go black about 6 seconds into that. After that, let go of the sleep button and keep holding the home button for 10 seconds. This will force the iPod into DFU mode, and you can restore it in iTunes. If at first you don't succeed, try again, because the timing can be tricky.
