I did a hard reset thing on my touch.. it deleted everything plus software

The software is gone...and now it wont turn. It wants me to RESTORE before i can use my touch again. But it wont let me cause it says "Software not available for this ipod."
I dont know what to do

Putting an iPod touch in recovery mode (which is not a reset) will indeed delete everything on it. You're basically forcing a restoration which erases all the contents. If your iPod is indeed in recovery mode, as described in this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
and it won't restore, you'll probably need to take your iPod to an Apple Store or call Apple tech support for assistance.

  • I recently did the 5.3 update to my Apple TV and now it is running sluggish and things keep freezing and then pictures are loading on top of each other. Then I did a hard reset today and now the WWDC app is gone. Anyone else having these issues?

    I have been having problems with my atv 3 not transmitting/receiving 5.1 surround. Whether I stream from my computer or watch movies, I am getting no 5.1 audio. The atv won't even show the option for surround. I tried to restore and reset the device but it didn't help.
    I haven't had any problems with missing apps or freezing or anything similar to what you are experiencing. This update has many bugs. Other threads have reported even more problems. Hopefully I can go back to the previous update.

  • I did a hard reset on my iphone 5.  When it was resetting  black lines with text saying there were errors popped up at the top of the screen. any ideas??

    I did a hard reset on my Iphone 5,  when it was resetting black lines with white text popped up at the top of the screen.  Last line says _fetchBorrowedList:881 number of borrowed blocks 16.  It is stuck at this point and will do nothing.  Tried another hard reset and the same thing happened.  Any Ideas??

    Make an appointment at the genius bar and get the screen replaced if that's available in your area ($149) or get the phone replaced if it's not or if the damage is more extensive ($269).

    Call your phone carrier - that's a problem for them to resolve.

  • HT4061 My phone will not turn on. I did a hard reset but all that my screen will show is a picture indicating I should connect the power cord to iTunes (iTunes icon).I don't know my serial # and I do not have acces to my laptop

    My phone will not turn on. I did a hard reset but all that my screen will show is a picture indicating I should connect the power cord to iTunes (power cord symbol with an arrow iTunes icon).I don't know my serial # and I do not have acces to my laptop.

    The serial number has nothing to do with this.
    YOur phone is in recovery mode.
    You will need access to a computer with itunes on it to restore your phone.

  • Please help I accidentally did a hard reset...

    on my airport extreme
    I have a wireless network that has 4 imacs and 3 powerbooks accessing it. There are 3 airport extremes and 2 airport express'. Each one has a name like "living room" or "hallway".
    Anyway when I reset it, it went back to its original settings "apple_network XXXXXX" or whatever.
    How do I find out what the old configuration is? The name of the wireless network I was using initially and want it to connect to, isn't coming up in the networks menu. Obviosly the network dosen't recognize it cause it's settings have changed.
    Mind you I don't know the name of the airport was or what the location it had?

    It's possible that there's a profile defined with your old settings if you did a hard reset and not a factory reset. Run Airport Admin Utility and bring up the Express's configuration. Click on the Profiles tool bar icon and if there's a profile defined, select it. Then click Update.
    If there isn't a profile defined, your out of luck: you'll have to somehow set up the Express from scratch again. When you do manage to get it set up again, I would strongly advise that your immediately go into Airport Admin Utility and define a profile.

  • Apps frozen in transition after apple genius bar did a hard reset, cant get thru app store either

    Went to apple genius bar after 6 hours of trying to fix iphone 4s: couldn't send/rec photo txt msgs, get voicemail alerts, update software upgrades or back up files in icloud. They did a hard reset and fixed those issues, however the majority of my apps are frozen in either blank grey boxes or dim grey boxes with app icon showing, they saved my contacts to icloud and pics to dropbox (which is now a frozen app that I can't access). Does anyone know what my next step is? I have only had the phone 6 months and don't wanna re buy but I use for work too so need to know whats going on? Also tried to install totally different app from app store and couldn't.

    Hi there 80sbaby1!
    I have an article here that can help you with the grey apps that you are seeing. It appears that those apps may not have fully re-downloaded onto your iPhone, and this article will provide some insight into resuming those downloads:

    I also have a website for you that can help you with some steps for troubleshooting that may resolve this issue. The website is an iPhone troubleshooting assistant, and can be found right here:

    Other is usually around 1 GB...
    A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
    First Try a Restore from Backup...
    But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup...
    Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

  • I did a factory reset on my ipod touch, but now when i try turning it on it just goes to the apple screen with the loading sign

    i did a factory reset on my ipod touch but now when i try turning it on it just goes to the apple screen with a loading sign, ive let my battery die and tried reconnecting but it still wont work. it doesnt even come up on itunes.

    Why won't it let you sync?  What happens when you try to sync it? Any error messages from iTunes?  How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library?  In other words, what options do you have selected from under the iPod's Music tab in iTunes?  To access this tab, plug your iPod in, select it under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes, and over to the right locate and select the Music tab along the top.
    Or are you trying to manually manage your iPod's contents?  In other words, is the Manually manage music and videos option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?

  • Exchange PUSH no longer working.  Did a hard reset, and restore nothing

    Seems this problem is happening everywhere on HOFO and macrumors. Please someone help. I bought this phone for this reason and I am ready to take it back. I need to get my emails as soon as they come in. Apple support was useless too. They know about the problem, but no fix is available. GRR!
    The phone was working fine at first, receiving emails, etc. Then it stopped. It would only pull the emails from exchange when you click on the MAIL button and it goes to the next screen. All the settings are set to Push for exchange. Contacts still sync right away. Email will not. We have over 80 other PDA Windows Mobile phones with no problems. I have tried WIFI, 3G only, neither work. Hard reset, restore, new phone settings, etc. Nothing!

    probably not quite the same issue as yours, but thought I'd mention it. After switching connection types, my iPhone no longer will push or sync mail. I get a server connection error. I've found that vpn'ing in, sync'ing, then turning VPN off will restore push and sync abilities. I'm hoping this gets fixed, by it's my workaround for now.
