I put my ipod touch in DFU mode, but when I plug it into my computer the restore your ipod alert does not come up in itunes. What can/should I do?
I have been on the Apple Support page for several hours now and cannot find my exact circumstance and other suggestions have yet to help me. I purchased a locked ipod touch and when I plug it into my laptop itunes says "Itunes could not connect to ipod because it is locked with a passcode". The guy I bought it from told me the password but I failed to write it down and remember it and he has since moved so I can't find him. I have tried putting it in DFU mode and I can get it there, but then Itunes does not show the pop-up that everyone has said will come up with the alert about an ipod trying to restore itself so I cannot get it to do so. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
AM
When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Why is my iPod named something, but when I plug it into my computer, it says it is a different name?
I have my iPod Touch named "Holden" and when I plug it into my computer, a screen pops up saying "Blake Jones's iPod".
However, in iTunes it says "Holden".
A few days ago, I did plug my friends iPod (named "Blake Jones's iPod) into my computer. How do I make it to say "Holden's iPod" on the screen that pops up right after I plug it in?Start here:

I need to update my iPod but I am scared that once I plug it into my computer I will lose all the songs I purchased using the iPod..
Nothing should be lost.
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

My iPod shuffle is not being recognized by my computer. It is flashing orange and when plugged in with the original USB cable nothing happens to show the computer recognizes it.
Flashing orange usually means it is being recognized by the computer. The flashing means do not disconnected, because the shuffle's "disk" is mounted.
In iTunes (with the shuffle connected), when you look in the sidebar (left side of window), under DEVICES, the iPod is not shown there? Does it say DEVICES in the sidebar? -
My ipod touch screen went white and when i plug it into my computer....nothing happens. help!
I went to turn on my iPod Touch one day and the screen went white. Tried resetting and got nothing. Tried plugging in to usb port and got nothing. Neither the computer nor iTunes recognizes my device. What do I do now?
By resetting did you see the apple logo? Try pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank (black) and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reset.

hi
my son has disabled his ipod touch and has forgotton the pass code, i have followed all the websites and got it into dfu mode but when itunes is restoring it back to its factory settings it is telling me that there are about 35 hours to go and then an error message comes up saying a problem with uploading and that my network isnt working (which is wrong) and to try again......donr this about 10 times now and everytime get the same error message......any help would be much appreciated
cheers
PaulAsk him if he has 'jailbroken' the ipod touch. Some jailbreaking firmware resets it to Ipad firmware and so it is very difficult to restore as itunes simply doesnt recognise it for what it is. It's Apple's solution to try and stop mass jailbreaking.

I just purchased an iPod Touch 5 for my brother for Xmas. Can I transfer music from my computer to the iPod Touch without messing it up for him when he plugs it into his computer for the 1st time? Dave
No since you can only sync with one computer.

So yeah...last night I was checking out my iPod (bored at the in-laws) and all of a sudden the screen went blank and the only thing I can get it to do is have the black screen w/ the white apple logo on it. It won't turn on, doesn't give the the option to power down, it won't charge, AND it's NOT being recognized when I plug it into my computer. Not by iTunes OR my computer. I've tried holding down the top button and the home button at the same time...nothing. And since it's not being recognized on my computer, I cannot restart it or go back to factory settings. Someone please help! I've had it for 18 months so the warranty is no longer valid and I don't know how to fix it. THANK YOU in advance!
- I would try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then see if iTunes will see the iPod. try both with the iPod not connected to the computer and with it connect. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next see if placing the the iPod in DFU mode will make it visible

Hi Gammer576775!
Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue with your iPod touch:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2771
Will not power on, or will not turn on unless connected to power
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Connect the iPod touch to an Apple USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if the display turns on and…
The home screen appears, the device should be working. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen: . Then disconnect the device from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears even after the iPod touch has charged for at least 20 minutes: See the "iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or low-battery image appears , continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPod touch did not turn on, reset it while connected to an Apple USB power adapter. If the display turns on, go to step 4.If the display remains black, go to the next step.
Restore the device. Connect it to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes it and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPod touch. If the device doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring it, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPod touch resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring it did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

My iPhone 4 will not turn on, when I plug it into my computer and load up iTunes its in recovery mode and the only option is to restore my device to factory settings, I have no back up of my phone I've also tried the home/sleep button thing but nothing, I have literally done every method I was told, I checked for water damage and that's fine. I don't want to restore my phone or buy a new one or pay for repairs because that's wasting money when it could be a simple way to fix it. And yes, I've also tried charging it and turning it in. I really need some help with my phone
That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

I just updated my iTunes, and I need to delete photos from my iPod 4, and there is a Photo Library that synced to my iPod when i plugged it into my computer, and now it doesnt have the option to delete them off my iPod. How do I get rid of these photos? I have read other questions that say to plug the iPod into the computer and like un-sync it, but I downloaded the new iTunes and it doesnt have a photos tab. Does anyone know how to solve my problem? Please and Thank You, Megan!
Just what did you do to the computer?
It sounds like the iPodf is seening the iTunes libary as a new libary.
