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:

HT1926 I have an ipod touch and recently updated my itunes and now my ipod keeps saying it is in recovery and needs to be restored. I keep attempting to do it (as it takes about 45 min.) and afterwards I get the same message. The screen tells me to plug

I have an ipod touch and recently performed the latest updates of itunes. It said there were problems with my ipod and it need to be restored. I did that and now it says it's in recovery mode and that I need to restore it. It takes 45 minutes and I've tried it several times and keep getting same message. My ipod is now unusable and it has a photo of a plug with an itunes icon telling me to plug it in. It is plugged in??? I restarted the computer, tried another computer, reset my ipod and nothing. Help!

If not successful try:
- Placing the iPod in DFU mode and then restoring.

HT2688 ihave purchased an apple tv box, and now want to activate home sharing on my computer, and as i am not computer sauvy, i am having trouble activating the home share .

i need help activating the home sharing, i went to i tunes and it talked about the product butnowhere what to do to activate it.

Hello!
I have come across the same issue and chose your response to reply to since it seems to be the most recent- First, the set up at the house:
MacBook Pro mid-2010
AppleTV Gen2
Belkin router
Two iPhones- 4s
iPad 3- Retina / WiFi only (set up with a different apple id- wife's iPad)
So- I have the same apple ID set up on the laptop, apple TV and my phone. Home Sharing is set to the same account on all these devices and the AppleTV does not recognize any of them. I do not see the Apple TV, nor the laptop, in the remote app on my phone.
I have the network set with a password in WPA/WPA2 mode and no firewall set up on with the router or the laptop...
Help?
I've read through many comments about ipV6- but that seemed to be based on windows machines, I've read that a mid 2010 MacBook Pro doesn't have the guts to handle homesharing, I have restarted and restored the appleTV as well as logged everything out and back in again...
Not sure where to go from here- thanks for any guidance.

My old Time capsule was not working well. I replaced it with a new Airport Extreme. Now I can see the other airport express stations. I tried resetting them, but it did not work. What do I do?

I replaced my old time capsule with a new airport extreme. I have 3 airport express stations that I have all around the house. (2 1st generation, 1 second generation). I can't see them with airport utility. I tried resetting, but no luck. Any suggestions?

Bring all the express to the same room as the mac you are using to setup the network..
One by one, plug them in and do full factory reset on them.. they should then show up in the Airport utility as Other Wi-Fi devices (1) and you can select them and continue the setup.
If that fails try using the airport utility on ipad or iphone as they are far less problematic than Yosemite in particular.

I updated last night and now my ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode and I don't want to do a factory restore!

How do I get out of recovery mode, that my ipod touch suddenly went into, after updating last night? It does not recognize my ipod anymore and I don't want to restore it back to factory conditions. I have tons of things on the ipod and don't want to lose them! Is there any other way to get out of this 'recovery mode'??

No. You have to restore. To allow the restore try the following:
- 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.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If you can't turn the iPod off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I up dated my ois to ois5 and now my ipod comes on for a few mins. and then the screen goes off you can tell it is still on but you can not see anything. What can I do?

I can not see what is going on on my ipod the screen is dark I can hear it working just cant see it... What can I do?

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

So I tried to downloaded IOS6 and now my ipod wont work.

Ive tried everything, I tried resetting, restoring, but it wont work! When I tired to restore it said "unknown error occured (3194)". I really need help, I use my ipod for school and really need it fixed, I live over 1hr away from the apple store so its not an option to take it back.
Thank you so much!

My daughter forgot her password and now her ipod has locked her out and says disabled connect to itunes. The computer which this ipod was synced has crashed. How can I fix this?

My daughter forgot her password and now her ipod has locked her out ir says disabled connect to itunes. The computer she last synced to has crashed. How can I unlock this ipod?

The device will have to be restored but without the last computer it was synced to, that's not a possibility.
Take the iPod to an Apple store or Apple certified repair shop.
You will need a computer in order to sync, restore, and update the iPod in the future.

My daughter forget her password and now her ipod touch is disabled. Red message says to connect to itunes. When I do connect to itunes, the device is not recognized and then a message comes on the screen that says it is locked and to enter the password to access it. I cannot access the password and since itunes does not recognize the device, it does not come up on the list on the left, i cannot reset it. What do I need to do so she can use her ipod touch again?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either.

I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either. Anyone have an idea as to what to do?

I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.
