- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have an Ipod Touch 4g. My computer broke. I have a new computer now. My problem is that my new computer  itunes library does not recognise the content already on my ipod. Help please

    I have an Ipod Touch 4G.   My computer broke.  I now have a new computer .  I have NO access to old computer.  The itunes on my new computer recognises by Ipod but not the music content already on my ipod.  This means it does not  show the content in the library on itunes any more.  The content on my ipod is not purchased from itunes store.  Can i get it to show up in the `new` library?    Is this also preventing me from downloading new items into my ipod - as i can download new discs into the library, but they will not load into the ipod.   Your help would be appreciated - cant bear another sleepless night.  Thank you

    I dont know how helpful this will be but here we go:
    try syncing your ipod again
    do you still have these cds? try reburning them to you library
    restart itunes
    restart the computer
    hardware reset ipod touch
    Heres how to do this
    Hold down power and home button at the same time until the screen goes black, ignore the slide to power off arrow
    Idevice will now restart on its own, this might take longer then when waking it from shut down
    6. now try step 1 again
    note: try any of these ideas they are not a set order of instructions

  • Lost all my music on my iPod touch. Now I can't reload it from my computer because it states that it is in the cloud. How do I get my music back on my iPod touch so I can listen when I'm out of wifi range.

    I was trying to fix the "ghost" songs on my ipod touch 4th generation today. Somehow I ended up deleting all my songs from the touch. Now when I try to get them back from my computer it states that they have to be downloaded from the icloud first. Don't know how to do this or why I can't just drag and drop the music from the computer back onto my ipod touch.

    Follow the instructions here:

  • Ipod touch 5g taking a long time to restore from backup

    I have recently used find my iphone to erase my iPod Touch 5th  Generation and have made a very recent backup of this device. I have plugged the device into itunes and clicked restore from backup (Windows Vista Home Basic 32 bit). It proceeded in restoring my iPod to the backup and the estimated time had gone up to nearly 8 hours. The status bar is gradually moved up, but what can I do to make it faster as I have waited nearly 6 hours for this and it is ver stressful =(
    P.S I am currently using an iPod Touch 5th Generation running the latest version of iOS 7 of iOS 7.1.2

    Thanks for your reply. My iPod Touch has finished its restore, yet not all the apps were installed onto the iPod. This is not a problem because most of my apps I did not want/need. My photos and music was installed/synced as well. It took a very long time for this process to happen. Thank You for your support. How can I award you points?

  • My iPod Touch is locked and frozen. Can anyone help me? :(

    So I have an 8gb iPod Touch 1 generation. My ipod touch has a frozen screen and all it shows is the iTunes logo with the small white arrow and usb cord. I also think it is locked, plus I forgot my password . Anyways I connected my ipod touch to my pc (window xp) and itunes says that "iTunes could not connect to the iPod Touch because it is locked with a password. You must enter your password on the ipod before it can be used with itunes". The reason i connected it was to see if i can restore it but i guess it didnt work. Oh and one other thing my home button is not working, I guess its stuck.

    to put it in dfu mode power off the power off the device by any means necessary. Once turned off, you should first press and hold the Home Button. Then, while holding the home button, connect the dock conector to the device and keep holding the home button untill an iTunes message appears that says "iTunes has detected an device in recovery mode."
    With DFU mode, the steps are the same except, you would also hold the sleep wake button and the home button before connecting the device to the computer. Then connect the cable to the device and let go of only the sleep/wake button at the top of the device.
    This method differs depending on the device and the person you talk to, but for me, this works when needed if the above steps are followed.

  • HT201263 My ipod touch is locked in recovery mode and I need help

    The ipod is locked in recovery mode. Everytime I plug it into the computer iTunes pops up and says it has detected ipod in recovery mode and it must be restored before using it with itunes.
    After I go throught he extracting software and then it locks up in itunes saying its waiting for the ipod but it just sits there for hrs with no result.

    - A reset.
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Manually placing the iPod in Recovery Mode
    - Placing the iPod in DFU mode.

  • Got my daughter an ipod touch 4th and it wont dothe back up from itunes? I bought my other daughter an iphone 4 and its doing the same thing. Both are locking up itunes too.

    Got my daughter an ipod touch 4th and it wont dothe back up from itunes? I bought my other daughter an iphone 4 and its doing the same thing. Both are locking up itunes too. I tried the deactivate/activate that was suggested it still didnt work. I took the ipod to a friend and hooked to her laptop and it synced fine but now trying to sync on mine it wont do it and it has the backup encryption on but no passwords will unlock it. itunes will reccognize the ipod and the iphone but while going thru the sync steps they both get to step 2 then lock up itunes and then says its syncing but will never stop. I am very frustrated and am regretting buying products from Apple.

    It seems to be a glitch or bug. Its been officially acknowledged and addressed by Apple. There is no resolution other than waiting for a few days.   The Kb article by Apple states it will fix itself on January 7.

    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.
