I keep restoring my ipod

my 160 GB classic ipod. Whenever I connect my ipod to my windows vista itunes freezes. Sometimes it pops up in the itunes window then tries to sync but shortly after trying it freezes.and when i disconnected the ipod it needs to get restored I believe it has something to do with my computer because I have plugged it into another computer and it reads and syncs it without a problem. I have already restored my ipod on multiple occasions and I am using the most recent version of itunes. can someone help me

Are you connecting your iPod via the USB hub, which can be a faulty one ...

THIS FREAKIN FRUSTRATES ME!!!!!!

    Email or call the nearest Apple Store and make an appointment at the genius bar.
    If it's software they can fix it and tell you what to do in the future (take notes) if they can't fix it they'll replace it.

  • I keep having to restore my ipod classic to sync music

    Hey everybody, I have this annoying problem with my iPod classic that won't go away - for over a month now my music keeps disappearing from my iPod when I disconnect it from my computer, but my hard drive is not wiped out, so the music is still there it just won't show up on the iPod when disconnected. I have to keep restoring the iPod to factory settings in order for it to go away, but it keeps happening every other day or so. Its not an iTunes problem that's for sure, because I stopped using iTunes thinking it was the source of the problem but surely now I know it's my iPod. iTunes displays "*iTunes cannot read the contents of this iPod*" etc.
    I tried asking around, but never got an answer. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Same problem: since 2 days my iPod cannot be syncronized.
    Itunes indicates "error 1601" and then is unable to restore the iPod.
    In the Apple support page, no solution is given (a part from uninstall and re-install iTunes, which I did and had any good result) and the page appears to be NOT updated since 2008.
    Does this have something to do with the last update for iTunes that I just made?
    Any clue of any solution for this ?
    thank you

  • HT1339 I have tried restoring an Ipod Nano 6th Generation but it seems to keep looping back and saying it is in recovery and needs restoring, can anyone help?

    I have tried restoring an Ipod Nano 6th Generation but it seems to keep looping back and saying it is in recovery and needs restoring, can anyone help?

    Try doing a level reformat of the iPod's flash storage instead to see if that kills the restore loop using the instructions in the article below.

  • TS3682 I have tried to restore me iPod that is disabled due to typing in the wrong password too many times. iTunes keeps giving me a box saying that it can't connect because I need to type in the passcode on the iPod (which I can't) what do I do now?

    I have followed the steps provided by apple to restore an iPod touch. It is disabled due to having the wrong password entered too many times. When I get part way through the restore process on my computer it pops up a box saying that it can't restore until I enter the passcode into the iPod. I have tried this same process over 5 times now and keep gutting the same results. It is my kids iPod and he has only had it since September. Someone please help me before I throw the thing through the window and my kid strangles me!!! Thanks!

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

  • I keep getting error 1603 when I try to restore my iPod why?

    I keep getting error 1603 when I try to restore my iPod why?

    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.

  • I found my brother's old 1st generation iPod. An unknown error 1442 keeps appearing every time I try to restore the iPod.

    I found my brother's old 1st generation iPod. An unknown error 1442 keeps appearing every time I try to restore the iPod.

    Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

  • I have a 5th Gen iPod Touch. I went in my messages to save a video in my camera roll. The video is not in my camera roll but my memory keeps on going down and I don not want to restore my iPod. Please help me

    I have a 5th Gen iPod Touch. I went in iMessage to save videos that were sent to me in my camera roll. The videos do not appear in my camera roll but my memory keeps on going down. I do not know how to solve the problem. I do not want to restore my iPod but I want to get my memory back. Please Help ME

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    An "other" larger tha about 1 1/2 usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:
    How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:

  • ITunes keeps providing a message that iPod is currupted.  I have restored the iPod and reloaded iTunes but keep getting the same message that the iPod is currupted.

    iTunes keeps giving me the message that my iPod is currupted.  I have restored the iPod and reloaded iTunes but keep getting the same message.  What's weird is that my iPod will connect to another PC and that my PC will connect to my daughter's iTouch.  Any ideas?  My iPod was working with my PC for years and just started getting this error.

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

    Have you tried rebooting for the Mac and iPod to see if that helps? To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    It wouldn't hurt to also try plugging the iPod into another USB port and use a different USB sync cable.
