Ipod 4g won't restore, itunes won't update.

*please look at recent question for more information* My ipod 4g isn't restoring itself from recovery modee and everytime I try it says error 3194. It sent me to an error page telling me to update to the latest version, but once again an error page appeared in my browser saying a needed another software type. What should I do??? I really want to get back on to my ipod, but it's been like this for 3 days!

ITune 10 crashed iPod, TM won't restore iTunes, iTunes "damaged" now

I had iTunes 9, upgraded yesterday to 10. Daughter purchased music this morning, connected her 3rd Gen iPod and iTunes locked up her iPod and then required a restore. iTunes was stuck in a restore loop. I closed iTunes, restarted the iMac and tried again, still would not recognize the iPod and was looped on restoring. The iPod doesn't respond at all now, it messages to use iTunes to restore.
I searched the forums here, it was suggested to use Time Machine to revert back to iTunes 9. I tried to do that and got the message, "You can't copy iTunes.app because it has the same name as another item on the destination volume, and that colume doesn't distinguish between upper - and lowercase letters in filenames."
Now when I try to open iTunes I get the message that "You can't open the application iTunes.app because it may be damaged or incomplete."
Any help on what to do?
Thanks, Sandy

OK, never mind. I was able to get a working copy of iTunes 10 back on the iMac using Time Machine. I still have a broken looking iTunes icon (says it's damaged) in the Dock, but I'm putting it in the trash.
Not sure if this is the solution that I really wanted, but at least iTunes is working. After a lof of resets/restores in the iPod and attaching it to a different power source than the iMac, I was finally able to get it to respond. Not sure what happened here this morning, but I sure don't like it.

Ipod stuck in recovery, and iTunes won't recognize the device.

My ipod is stuck on restore/ recovery mode, and iTunes won't recognize the device. The computer makes the beep noise saying that somethin is plugged in but itunes won't pick it up. It is iTunes 11.1.1 and i have a 5th generation Ipod touch. Any Help? Thanks (:

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

Ipod touch won't restore, turn on or update

My ipod touch will not restore.I use it only for music and my 6 year old plays the games. It was dead flat after a long trip yesterday and when I tried to charge it nothing happen. I then plugged it into the computer and a msg came up that it was in recovery mode and needed to be restored. When I pressed restore is comes up with another msg to say "software for this Iphone is not currently available update the latest version of itunes and try again" I checked to make sure I have the latest version of itunes which I do. It comes up as an Iphone which it isn't. My husband has the iphone and can plug his phone in no worries. I thought it wasn't because I don't plug into itunes very often and my ipod was behind the times in updates but when I rang Apple they are saying I have a version of the software to advanced for itunes ***!!!! Have no idea how that happen Help

Won't restore and won't turn on when unplugged.

My 1st gen iPod touch won't restore. Seems simple enough except my iPod has a weird issue which causes the iPod to shut off when unplugged from a power source and won't turn on. Whenever I go to restore it, it shuts off, turns on, then shuts off and won't turn on. I just installed a new battery and it worked previously. It won't restore in DFU or "Connect to iTunes" mode. HELP!

Iphone 4S won't restore backup after ios8 update

I updated my phone to the new iOS8 this week. I made a backup of my phone on my computer, and now it won't restore. It gets to within 5 seconds of completion before giving me the following error message.
I tried the steps in this article, but nothing has worked. All my contacts / photos messages have been wiped and I'm hoping to salvage these.

Make sure you are using a USB port directly on the computer, not a USB hub, and a rear rather than a front port if your computer is a desktop or tower case.
Disable your antivirus before restoring. If your antivirus is Kaspersky you may have to completely uninstall it.

Why won't the iTunes directory listing update, yet the subscriptions will?

In the iTunes music store podcast directory, the listing for my podcast says that the most recent podcast is 5 November 2006, even though the podcast has been weekly since (as well as 2 years before that!).
The subscription to the RSS feed through my iTunes automatically updates when a new podcast is released, so I can only assume that the podcast has a valid RSS feed, and that the problem lies elsewhere. That, and the fact we have thousands of listeners downloading each week! Additionally, through feed validator, the rss feed came back as validated.
I tried pinging the iTunes store, and the screen said it was successfully pinged. Nothing in the listing has changed. Some strange thing happened in 2006, when the iTunes store did update the listing, and it stopped as soon as it started again!
Can anyone help?
The rss feed is http://www.brasscast.com/feed/rss.xml
Thanks
Lucas

One of the main causes of a feed not updating is that it no longer validates. In this case though, everything I can think of checks out, including the category tag (which was unchanged from earlier versions).
Even without pinging the iTunes Store, a feed will at some stage be crawled and have the updated info added to the database.
Sorry I couldn't be of help, this is a mystery.

My husband and I use the same computer. He has his Itunes library that updates his ipod. I have my ITunes library that updates my ipod. How can we share songs between us?

My husband and I use the same home computer. He has his ITunes library that links to his Ipod. I have my ITunes library that links to my Ipod. How can we share songs between our libraries? (Windows - Vista)

No. Its not possible.
Alternatively, create another user account in your computer. Install iTunes in that account with the library you wish to sync.

My iTouch won't restore. iTunes keeps stating Error 1604 we can't restore you iTouch. What do I do?

I have had this iTouch for a long time and it has never done this before. my iTouch still has the 'connect to iTunes' picture on it. Everytime I try to restore it, it says Error 1604 afterwards. I can't reset my iTouch or even turn it off because the button on the top won't work. Please help me?

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.
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

Why won't my iTunes open after updating it?

I updated my itunes and it won't open, the icon jumps up once when I click on it but doesn't open. I'm using a Mac. I recently baought heaps of music at the itunes store so I don't won't to delete it and loose all my files

I'm having the same problem Kyrabashi's having, and did try to open iTunes from Applications folder. Icon bounces once, sadly, then nothing happens. I've obviously tried rebooting laptop, etc., with no effect. Anybody have an idea?

HD won't open, iTunes won't play, DVD player quits...

I am new to this forum and am afraid that I am totally screwed regarding my comp. Here is what is going on:
A couple weeks ago, I started my computer to work on my art. I always open iTunes first, put it on my top rated random shuffle playlist, and then open Photoshop CS2 and whatever piece I'm working on at the time. Well, when I opened iTunes and hit 'play,' it picked a song, but then just sat there claiming that the song length was 0:00. I restarted, and it worked fine.
The other day, I opened the computer to put on a DVD for my daughter. The DVD player repeatedly 'unexpectedly quit'. I thought, well, I'll go to the actual app and try to open it that way. The 'Rachael's Hard Drive' icon just sat there when I double-clicked. It would not let me open my hard drive. I opened iTunes, and it wouldn't play anything, same as last time. I restarted, but it didn't work.
I cannot access my hard drive. Is it dead? Does anybody know? I have a lot of my artwork backed up, but all my latest commissions are on there and some really personal pieces. Am I going to lose those? Help me, please. I need suggestions.

themindseye,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Use your OS X Install disk to boot the computer and run Repair Disk on the hard drive as described in Using Disk Utility and fsck. At the bottom of the Disk Utility windows, what does the hard drive's SMART status report? How much space does Disk Utility show as available on the hard drive? Does Repair Disk report any problems? If Repair Disk reports making repairs, repeat the repair until it reports no problems, or until it either reports being unable to repair or it becomes obvious that it's stuck in an endless loop.
Can you access the HD if you Start Up in Safe Mode?
