HT1212 why cant i restore my ipod? I have followed the dirctions and it will not restore

can anyone please help me?? I CAN NOT GET IT O WORK

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.

  • I have an IPhone 3G and it will not restore...

    I have an IPhone 3G and it will not restore. Unfortunatley, I have to make it restore because I cannot use it at all. I have tried to restore it a total of 4 times but each time a message comes up saying that an error has occured. I need to restore the IPhone in order to use it in my daily life. Can someone help me?

    Welcome to the discussions,
    did you try to connect in recovery mode? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If this does not work, try to delete the iphone software file located in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates to make iTunes download a new copy when you connect in recovery mode. Maybe the file stored on your PC is damaged.

  • Have an iPhone 3GS, and it will not restore.  It says (-1) error and won't restore.  I updated to iOS 5.0.1, and have the latest version of iTunes.  Every time I plugged my phone in last week it would crash and I would have to connect it to iTunes.  Help!

    Last week I updated my iTunes, updated to iOS 5.0 and ever since I did this my phone has been going nuts.  Any time I plug it into a charger I get a screen that tells me I need to connect to iTunes.  I have had to restore it multiple times in order for it to work.
    I've tried doing resets, restoring to factory-everything that I can find online to do.  I've spoken with ATT tech support and done everything they've said to do regarding my greyed out wifi, my phone only working on 3G, and other issues. 
    The first iPhone 3GS I got had a defective camera, so ATT replaced it free of charge.  I've had this one for a year, and quite frankly cannot afford a new one. 
    If anyone knows anything I can do to fix it, I would really appreciate it. 

    11.1 is now the most recent  iTunes. Downloading it may take a bit since everyone got hit today with the need to update their iTunes on the very same day the iOS update came out and you have to update iTunes to update the iOS.
    YOu should still be able to charge it without updating iTunes.

  • HT201263 now when I try to restore from recovery I get a code 3014 and it will not restore?

    Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup.<br />
    You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties.<br />
    If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File"<br />
    A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links.<br />
    A JSON backup starts with: {"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":<br />
    An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>
    You may need to add quotes ("") around the name to rename the file to the correct file extension.

  • HT3964 i have a iphone 4 that was dropped in water for a short period of time. it then was put in rice to dry it out. and now i'm trying to restore the iphone and it will not restore. what do i do now?

    i would like to know what i need to do?

    If the iPhone was in water, the dry rice for a week trick sometimes works, sometimes does not work.  If it does not work your only choice is to take it to an Apple store genius bar and see about a replacement.  For an iPhone 4 the out-of-warranty replacement is $149 in the US.

  • HT201407 Per the "Completing Authorized iPhone Unlock" instructions, I connected to iTunes to back up and restore so my iPhone can be unlocked! But after the restore my iPhone is stuck at the activation screen, it will not activate.

    Received an authorized unlock code from apple/AT&T for my off-contract 3GS (8GB). Per the “Completing Authorized iPhone Unlock” instructions, I connected to iTunes to back up and restore so my iPhone can be unlocked! But after the restore my iPhone is stuck at the activation screen, it will not activate saying “Your iPhone cannot be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable”. I tried this again and again for countless times, no way! I have my old AT&T simcard and other carrier’s simcard. Both will not help. Please help me to activate and start using my phone.

    Hello,
    I got like the same problem, last days I get message to restore my iPhone, so I did it yesterday and it work very well. In the afternoon I saw that at top in the left corner show invaild sim card or so (only knew the german version). so I restore it again but now it won`t activate after I enter SIM-PIN and it accept it, it shows "No Service".
    Anybody can help? My Carrier is o2 Germany.
    Thanks!

    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

  • Time Machine will not let me restore from recent backups.  I can see them on the external drive but will not restore sooner that June of 2013!  Any suggestions?

    Time Machine will not let me restore from recent backups.  I can see them on the external drive but will not restore sooner that June of 2013!  Any suggestions?

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.
