  • HT1430 ipod touch stuck in restore mode. What can I do?

    I have tried over and over to restore ipod touch,but itunes can't finish it do to an unknown error #1

    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

  • 2nd Gen iPod Touch stuck in restore mode

    My Friend recently gave me his 2nd gen ipod touch that he no longer uses as a gift, i decided to restore it so i could put my music on it and remove all the apps that were on there because i wanted more space for music, while restoring i came across a problem, an error message popped up and said, "The iPod "iPod" cannot be restored, an unknown error occured (2003)." i have the latest version of itunes installed and ive tried everything mentioned in the following article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307219, this ipod was fully functiong before i attempted to restore it and now its stuck in restore mode and will not work at all, i do not feel like paying to talk to an apple representitive to help me with a problem that shouldn't be happening in the first place so if someone could help me here that would be greatly appreciated.

    Well i had kinda the same problem. I pressed the wake/sleep button and the home button for 10 seconds. Then it shuts down. You connect it to iTunes and says this iPod was in restore mode, and continues or starts again. Hope can help!

  • Ipod touch stuck in restore mod after update

    hi i have windows 8 release preview. i tried to update my 8gb ipod touch 4th gen and not its stuck in restore mod loop. but i have a 32gb ipod touch 4th gen that sync's to itunes just fine. ive tried the home and lock button, RecBoot to push it out of restore mod, iRecovery to push it out of restore mod and nothing works. i keep getting error 1603 and 1611. it comes up on itunes and says it needs to be restored. please help

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1603
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Also, it could be due to an incompatiblity with iTunes and the pre-release Windows 8 version.

  • Ipod is stuck in restore mode

    ipod is stuck in retore mode won't turn on

    there's a very simpler method than lllaass's, just leave uncharging until the battery is out, then charge it up, itt'l say to plug it into itunes so plug it in and click the restore button in the itunes window.

    - Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • IPod Touch stuck in Restore mode. (I will give 2 months of person IT help)

    +(I will give 2 months of IT help [windows/networks] if you solve this, 1 month if you help me- Im a IT Tech with a degree. - see profile)+
    *I was trying to sync my iTouch and it blipped and everything was gone.*
    *Now it is in Restore mode permanantly. When I attach it to iTunes, it recognizes iPod in Restore mode, but:*
    1) If I try to use the original ( 1.7.7 ) ispw to restore ( with shift/restore), it fails at *Preparing iPod for Restore* and says *iPod can not be restored. Error [various]*
    2) If I try to restore to the new (3.0) ispw it fails with *Network Time Out*
    3) If I try to use the 3.0 which I have already downloaded ( with shift/restore) another error #1431 occurs during restore.
    4) I can not update to iTunes 8.2 as when I try it gets to the end and then says that it can not access the registry key for 'itpc' or similar due to permissions, when I open regedit to look at these keys I also get an error saying that I cannot access the keys due to permissions. I have tried opening in admin account and still "permissions not allowed", I have tried running iTunes though admin, still the same. I also can not alter the permissions even when I am at the highest permission level.
    It isnt even seen by iTunes unless I enter DAC mode. Then it askes to restore it but fails every time!
    +The USB has no faults showing and I updated all of them to be sure.+
    +Everything was fine before this. Running firmware 2.0 or 2.2 ( cant remember or access it ).+
    +I dont want to delete the iTunes as Im worried it wont be able to install again and I will lose everything. ( and thats ALOT!)+
    +I REALLY need my iPod.+ I use it for work, +I work with disabled children as my 'real job'. IT is just extra $. _All my contacts, emailing etc is trapped now in a iTunes that just refuses to work_.+
    As this is SO important to me and the children I work with I am offering:
    *THREE MONTHS OF PERSONAL TECH ASSISTANCE FOR WINDOWS AND/OR NETWORKING PROBLEMS FREE OF CHARGE. ILL GIVE YOU MY EMAIL AND IM AND WILL BE YOUR PERSONAL IT GUY FOR 3 MONTHS IF YOU CAN FIX THIS! IF YOU CAN EVEN GIVE ME A USEFUL IDEA, ILL GIVE YOU 1 MONTH OF FREE HELP! PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN!!!*

    What type of security software suite are you running on your Vista computer? If it is one of the commercial ones, Norton, Mcafee, or the like, you are most likely suffering from the over zealous nature of these programs.
    Are you sure you have top level admin access on your Vista computer. The fact that you can't use regedit to remove keys bothers me somewhat. But this is something for you to worry about. Here's what I would suggest you do:
    1. Remove all Apple software from your computer - iTunes, QuickTime, Apple Mobile Device Services
    2. Reboot
    3. Disable your firewall and virus checker.
    4. Download and install the latest version of iTunes.
    5. Re-download the 3.0 update
    6. Plug your iPod in and install the 3.0 update
    If everything is working, then you can re-enable your virus checker and firewall software.
    The most likely reason you have had all of these problems is the fact that Apple software needs to "phone home" during the firmware install. If it can't do it because of your firewall, then you are going to get various error messages and no success. The anti-virus software often prevents complete downloading of a file - again leading to errors.

  • 1st Generation iPod touch stuck in restore mode.

    iTunes can find iPod in restore mode, but when I begin the restore, my computer says device is unrecognized, and I just get the apple with an empty bar below until it times out. Computer says device has reported problems, but device worked before reset on older computer.  4th generation ipod works fine on my Windows 7 computer.  I already tried every Apple troubleshoot I can find.

  • IPod Touch stuck in 'restore' mode - restore process freezes

    We've got an iPod Touch that's in 'restore' mode.  I've made several attempts to restore it, and it freezes during the restore.  It's been restored before, but now it freezes every time.  Has anyone had this problem and solved it?

  • My ipod is stuck in restore mode

    I'm tried updating my mom's ipod, and it siad i needed to download a new sofware, and now its stuck in this resotre mode, and iv clicked restore and it has me in tis never ending loop, and i cant fix it

    See here: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
    This may also be the result of incorrectly configured 3rd party security software. If you have any such software installed, such as a firewall or AntiVirus application, try temporarily disabling it to see if that helps.

  • Brand New Ipod Touch stuck in restore mode straight out of the box :(

    My Daughters xmas pressy .. ipod touch brought from apple online store will not sync to any of our PC's (Vista or XP) , have latest itunes installed ,have tried restore (numerous times) , rebbots, restarts all the usual stuff but restore always fails. Any ideas folks ? Have a very disapointed teenager here at the moment. thanks

    Well first just to let you know the "connect to iTunes" screen or also knows as "the usb cable pointing to iTunes" means to connect it to iTunes to initially set the ipod up. Now if you already have done this or dont get the option to try forcing into recovery mode and then restoring the ipod followed in this article. Also make sure your computer and iTunes is up to date with the latest software.
    If not i would try connecting it to anther computer with iTunes 9.0.2 installed and then call Apple if that doesnt work since you purchased it from the Apple online store.

  • My iPod get stuck in restore mode!

    It gets stuck here. Everytime! Someone, please help!

    By the looks of his iOS firmware and the current for this device, he was probably doing some "Unauthorized modification". @lllaass is right for what you are going to have to do. (If you aren't planning on "Unauthorized Modification" Stop reading) But you should be able use http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ "redsn0w" first to save off your blobs so you can restore to your current firmware. In redsn0w... Extras>SHSH>Fetch. Then use google to read up on how to restore to your current firmware.

  • Ipod stuck in restore mode, Itunes won't install.

    Okay so first off, my ipod would not connect to my ihome and would say that this accessory is not supported by this device. And I looked online and apple said to restore my ipod. Itunes restored my ipod, but then said unable to restore. So my ipod is stuck in restore mode and itunes would not read it. So I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. After i uninstalled everything when i try and reinstall itunes, midway through it says "service 'apple mobile device' (apple mobile device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficent privelages to start this service." I really do not know what to do at this point. I need to get my ipod to work. When i go to device management it says apple mobile device(recovery mode). Please help ASAP

    Yes i uninstall all itunes and everything that goes with it and when i reinstall itunes "service 'apple mobile device' (apple mobile device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficent privelages to start this service." comes up and gives me the choice to abort, retry or ignore. and if i click ignore it doesn't install and then i am where i started
