  • Ipod touch unable to restore?, Help.

    I have been given an IPod touch from my sister as she brought a new one, because she was having problems with the IPod not connecting to her computer etc..
    I have had the same problems with the IPod when connected to my computer e.g. USB not recognized, iTunes not picking IPod up when connected. After searching the Internet I decided to update my ITunes and Windows, ITunes was still not picking up the iPod when connected so I decided to ?restore the iPod its now frozen in restore, I can turn it off but nothing else, USB now recognizes IPod as 'IPod in recovery mode, you must restore before continuing.' usually  after a few mins a bubble will pop up saying 'USB device not recognized, a device connected to this computer has malfunctioned'. ITunes now opens 80% of the time when the IPod is connected but is unable to complete the restore, the usual error is 1611 or 'the IPod could not be restored, device could not be found.'
    I have tried to update the USB but am told that 'there could not be a better match for the hardware then the software the is currently been used'. I have restarted my computer and used all the different USB ports with no change and have tried connecting to a different computer (different computer wont recognize IPod at all). Sorry about my rambling but I'm stuck for ideas and probably should of just asked here first, any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards Amanda

    I hope this one works for me too, cause I have a similar problem...
    instead of error 1611 it says error 2009...
    i did everything apple writes about fixing that particular problem...didn't help one little bit....
    i'm keeping my fingers crossed *g*

  • I have just tried to update my ipod touch and the update failed but it has locked my ipod.  All I get is a picture of the itunes logo and the usb lead

    I have just tried to update my ipod touch and the update failed but it has locked my ipod.  All I get is a picture of the itunes logo and the usb lead.  I am unable to get the ipod to move and I don't know what to do.  I think I should be recompenced by Apple if I have to pay to get it fixed!

    The logo is saying connect it to your computer with iTunes installed on the computer.  I assume when yo do this that the iPod is not seen in iTunes. to make iTunes appear try:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Place the iPod in recovery mode.  See:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Place the iPod in DFU mode:

    If the iPod appears in iTunes restore the iPOd.  If not I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Ipod touch won't restore, turn on or update

    My ipod touch will not restore.I use it only for music and my 6 year old plays the games. It was dead flat after a long trip yesterday and when I tried to charge it nothing happen. I then plugged it into the computer and a msg came up that it was in recovery mode and needed to be restored. When I pressed restore is comes up with another msg to say "software for this Iphone is not currently available update the latest version of itunes and try again" I checked to make sure I have the latest version of itunes which I do. It comes up as an Iphone which it isn't. My husband has the iphone and can plug his phone in no worries. I thought it wasn't because I don't plug into itunes very often and my ipod was behind the times in updates but when I rang Apple they are saying I have a version of the software to advanced for itunes ***!!!! Have no idea how that happen Help
