If you are restoring your ipod and unplug it in the middle of restoring it and it becomes frozen, what do I do to complete restoring it or make it go back to normal?
What do you do if your ipod begins to restore itself but you unplug it and its frozen. Your computer does't even detect the ipods plugged in so you can't finish restoring it.
Go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Can you trade in your ipod touch 4 gen for the 5th gen
about 1 year ago i brought the 4gen ipod touch but i would like to get the ipod touch 5gen can you trade it in and pay the diffrence if not i will have to get the nexus 7 32GB
There is no trade-in program. There is the 10% recycling credit.
Better to sell your iPod Touch, and use the money to buy the 5th generation.
NOTE: These forums are User-to-User, so you are NOT telling Apple that you will be buying a Nexus 7. If you want to tell Apple, then use the feedback page <http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html> -
Is it true you can get your iPod fixed for free for the first time
I want to fix my ipod and my cousin said that they fix it for free for the first time so i wanted to ask you
No. The will replace your iPod at no cost if within the warranry period and the iPod was not abused. I wonder where everybody gets that one-time replacement. It seems somebody says that once a day here.

Should I factory restore my iPod if I'm in the middle of a conversation with the Message App?
Itunes cannot read my iPod Touch 4G contents again and I have to restore it. Would you recommend me to restore my iPod in the middle of a conversation with the built in message app? The conversation is important but I have the contact information.
Also, if you send a message to someone's phone, will that phone display the Message ID of the iPod touch?Information will be erased while fixing apple products.
As long as you are using an apple product to contact a different apple product you can find out who it is. -

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes.

How you restore your security pass code if you have disabled your iPod, due to too many pass code attempts?
If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
2. Connect your device to your computer.
3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
4. Select the Summary tab.
5. Select the Restore option.
6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
necessary to create another.
7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
logo while starting up:
After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
you see "iPhone is activated."
9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information. -

Okay, i've had my iPod for awhile, and this is the first problem i've ever had!

Windows XPHello Kelsey!
Before you do a restore, first try to get your computer recognizing your iPod by putting it into disk mode, then connecting it to your computer again. See the details laid out here:
How to put your iPod into disk mode
Also, see these articles:
iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
iPod does not appear in "My Computer" or in iTunes
If you believe you need to restore your iPod, then I'll explain here how to restore your iPod.
Plug in your iPod.
Close iTunes if it is currently running.
Go to: "START -> All Programs -> iPod -> iPod Updater [the date of your iPod Updater's version]".
Open the iPod Updater. When it recognizes your iPod, click on the "Restore" button. Restoring should take about 5 minnutes.
Note that restoring your iPod will delete all the contents off of it, but will not affect your iTunes library.
If you have any trouble with restoring your iPod, or need any other explanation, just post back, and I'll be here to help you...I hope this helped!

Does restoring your iPod solve the problem with the updater?
I have a fourth generation iPod and I downloaded the 10-12-2005 updater. Since then my click wheel will not work, but all the buttons on my iPod still work. I have looked through the discussions and many other people have this same problem, but i have not found any solution. Will restoring my iPod solve this problem? I want to be sure before I erase everything.
The music will come of your iPod but STAY on your computer. Documents that are on your iPod should be backed up because they will be deleted as well. Check the link below if you need more help.
