- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPod touch is not charging, nor is it syncing with my commputer and iTunes. It will charge on the wall charger, and in the car, but not on the computer. My wife's iPod Nano syncs on the computer. I went in and reset my iPod Touch back to factory settings and now it will not let me get in unless I sync to iTunes on my computer. Well, it still will not connect thru the USB cord. Does anyone know what I should do to get this corrected? I want my iPod back.
Have you seen and worked through the suggestions in this Apple support document?

I have 2 ipod touches. One of the syncs with itunes just fine. The other isnt recognized by itunes. I reset the ipod to factory settings,and uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, still no recognition.
- Do you have the latest version of iTunes on the computer? iOS 6 requires 10.5 or later. The current is 10.6.3
- Have you tried 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.
- You could try placing the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore the iPod. However, if you can't restore the iPod or use this program to get the iPod out of recovery mode

you will lose use of the iPod.

Restoring iPod touch to factory settings
I am trying to restore my ipod touch to factory settings. It's 32G and about 75% full. It's been going since yesterday afternoon and I can't even turn it off. Is it normal? What do I do?
I'm not familiar with that function. To my knowledge you must do it from the computer. However, your unit is hung up.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc. -

I was trying to synk my ipod touch to my laptop but instead it deleted all of my music that was on my ipod. is there anyway i can get that music back?? please help.
Adam,
If these songs were only on your iPod Touch and not in your iTunes library or backed up anywhere else, them I'm afraid you are out of luck.
If they are iTunes purchases and you live in the US, see this Apple support document about redownloading them at no cost.

For music that was imported from outside of iTunes, you'll need to reimport those again.

Can anyone out there please tell me how to restore my grandaughter's ipod touch to factory settings? Her mother has it blocked to her name. omg
<Edited By Host>I had the same problem a few days ago - just let it keep circling as it will eventually stop. Make sure it's plugged into the computer and walk away. Check on it periodically and do whatever the stupid thing says to do. I think mine "circled" about 5 times before it finally worked. . .

I am trying to restore an ipod to the factory settings. However I get a message that my username or password is incorrect. I am using my correct Apple id and password. What is the problem, please?
Was that Apple ID and password the original owner of the iPod? If not, try using the Apple ID and password of the original owner.

during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings using itunes it took 4 hours and completed but my phone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please help #
In trying to include what information all that I could I should have specified I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINATELY JAILBROKEN when I took it to the apple store they told me there's no way for them to tell if it was jail broken or not. I'm only going by what ppl have told me COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE PHONE. With that said the only thing I know for sure is that the apple tech at the Genius Bar told me that someone took control of my root menu in February & I've had no control of my phone since. I asked him how to regain control & how he knew his exact words were "oh that is out of our scope of capabilities here at this level & you would need an apple engineer to fix it". I said ok then how do I get an apple eng then? He laughed & said you can't!!!! To which I was furious I came home & called apple requesting to speak w/the fraud dept to file a report they said we don't have a fraud dept!! So after a 45 mn phone call again I left w/no answers.

I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND HIRING AN ATTORNEY & Although I appreciate your suggestion I fail to how an attorney would be able to facilitate in any way since there's no suspect. I cannot prove that it's him doing it so I certainly can't pursue legal action w/no proof & no money. :'((
Again I thank you for your advice but I don't think that will help.
I was looking more for a TECHNICAL way to avoid this happening w/a new phone should I buy one or trying to get them out of my phone now! Such as installing some kind of software protection?? Someway to clear out the entire phone (other than factory reset which was done 10 x's w/no success, etc. if this person got in then there HAS TO BE A WAY OF GETTING HIM OUT, right???? -
