I was trying to download latest software to my iPod touch but error msg has appeared

'iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore the iPod before it can be used with iTunes'. Will I lose all videos/pics etc if I restore to factory settings which appears to be the only option? Have xmas videos on iPod which I would be really sorry to lose. Can anybody assist?

You have to restore and thus erase the iPod. If the items are not in a backup, you may be able to get them from the restored iPod

I tried to download a movie on my iPod touch but due to limited space, it did not download. Then, I checked my credit card online, and I found the money was already taken. How will I get it to download on another device with the same account?

Cannot get 4.1 software, nor can I restore original settings without getting this. I have uninstalled, and reinstalled twice.

Welcome to the discussions,
did you check your security software settings, to make sure that your computer can contact the Apple server during the install process? http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

I am trying to download an app for my ipod touch, but its not showing up in the app store. Its the icess app for controlling a bluetooth helicopter

I recently got my daughter an iCess RC helicopter. It works via bluetooth and can be used with Apple and Android devices. She has a ipod touch, but when trying to do a search for "iCess" in the app store, nothing comes up. It shows up on my PC in the itunes store, but how do I get it on the ipod touch or its apps store?
Also having the same problem when trying to locate the app with my iPad and its app store. I got it installed on one of my android devices via the Google Play store so I know its there & works. Any ideas or suggestion on what is going on here with the iPod and iPad app stores?

The RC helicopter's directions say its available in the App store for Apple and here it is in the iTunes store:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/icess/id558793179?mt=8 (released on 6/19/2013)
How do I get this to show up on my iPad and/or iPod touch app stores so I can then download and install it as needed?

Trying to download ios 6.1 on ipod touch but i get error -23

Can someone help me ?
Just got my ipod back but its running ios 4.1 and im trying to download ios 6.1 but I get an error -23

Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

Right, what App are you trying to download? What iPod touch have you got? 1st Gen., 2nd Gen., 3rd Gen or 4th Gen? Also what version of iOS are you running?

The latest iTunes which is 10.7 does indeed require Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer. What version of Mac OS X are you running and on what model Mac?

Temporarily disable or turn off your Firewall and Anti-Virus software and try the download again.

There was a problem downloading the software for the ipod. Network connection timed out

There was a problem downloading the software for the ipod. Network connection timed out. This is for the latest ios for the iPod touch. Already walked through the steps to validate that all settings were correct with the firewall, Windows defender has been disabled. This has not been an issue with previous ios updates. Not sure what the issue here is.

Hi,
You might have to place your iPod in Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.
Hope this helps!

What did the error message say?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Try a reset.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Try going to Settings>Store and sign out and sign back in.
It also could be due to an Apple server problem. and yu will just have to wait and try again.

I have a Macpro Book and I just downloaded new software to my ipod touch(3rd gen). Now itunes does not recognize it nor will it turn on. I believe it just downloaded but did not update the software. What do I do?

You appear to have a second generation iPod touch, not a third, and those can't be updated past 4.2.1. Apple sold 8GB second generation models at the same time as the third generation ones.

Hi, I have just got an ipod touch, I had an ipod classic for years, I have tried to put my itunes onto my ipod touch but only my purchased music is going onto it, how do I get my library onto it without using sharing?

Hi I have just got an ipod touch, I have had a classic for years with no trouble. I have tried to download my itunes library to my touch but only my purchased music transfers. How do I transfer all my music without the home sharing as this at the moment seems to be the only way to see all of my library?

You can set up more than one device on your computer, and iTunes will remember the settings for each of them:
How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer
But you'll have to use your Apple ID to sync bought media to her device. Disable all other things you don't want to sync like photos, contacts, etc.
