IPOD, BLUE SCREEN, NOT RESTORING.

My ipod shut off during a system update. When i turned it back on it displayed a grey screen with a blackish line and then it turned to a blue screen. I tried restoring it with itunes and its still displaying a blue screen. what do i do??

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- 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.

What exactly happens when you try to restore via iTunes?
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
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 backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT201263 My ipod touch does not restore properly and comes up with an unknown error (9). What do I do?

My ipod touch does not restore properly and comes up with an unknown error (9). What do I do? I have tried restoring it a few times and it keeps coming up with this error. Yet on Itune on my computer, it tells me that the ipod software is up to date. ipod screen is just showing the itune logo and a usb connector.

Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

IPod touch 2G not restoring after paid 3.1 update

Hi I'm new here, this is my problem.
I have an iPod touch 8GB 2G, purchased in August last year, anyway, I decided to treat myself last Saturday and update it, thing is, when it updated it froze then put itself in restore mode, thinking this was just part of the process of updating I clicked restore, it then decided not to update and iTunes gave me a bout of errors such as the most common (13,14,1604) and the uncommon (20) after feeling extremely guilty for even bothering with the update in the first place, I did everything possible to make it work such as;
removing iTunes
Re-installing all apple software incl iTunes.
After managing to calm myself down my friend offered me his 2G 16GB as he was given two iPod's in September by his divorced parent's.
So I plugged this one into iTunes ready to sync it, when suddenly; it decided (against my will) as I'd already purchased the update, to update this one to a 3.0, the exact same process occurred and I now have a brand new iPod that will not restore itself.
May I say I have tried EVERYTHING, un-installing, re-installing, deleting the software updates, re-booting, different computers, I have even tried a jailbreak with no success.
As I live in Scotland and both iPod's were purchased in Argos, I cannot get support from anywhere, any suggestions or help, PLEASE, I am at the end of my tether and I don't want a brand new iPod touch to go to waste.
Can I also mention, I have tried restoring it from various iTunes series, (7.0,8.0 and 9.0) and it is not restoring in any of them.
I have tried jailbreakers; Ra1n and QuickFreedom.
I think this may be to do with the 3.1 software from Apple, therefore, after reading various similar posts, I am not alone.
This has had me in tears as my original 8GB iPod touch was a gift from my recently deceased grandfather and the fact it has broken has had me in tears.
Anyway, help is well appreciated

I had the same problem once and right now I'm typing this reply on the iPod that had the error, so it's a semi-easy fix. This isn't the way I did it but as soon as I remeber I'll post that as well.
Ok, first check to see if your iPod is connected to your computer via a USB hub. If so then unplug it and plug directly into a USB port on your computer.
If that doesn't work try updating the USB driver like this:
1. Plug your iPod into the computer (no USB hub).
2. Quit iTunes if it is open.
3. Click on the start menu.
4. Click control panel.
5. In the control pane,l click on administrative tools. If you don't see this option look at the left column and click switch to classic view. You should then be able to click administrative tools.
6. Double click the computer management option.
7. In the left column you see the device manager option under the system tools folder.
8. In the right column, click the plus sign next to universal bus controllers to expand this option.
9. In the dropdown list look for anything related to iPod or Apple. You might see something like "iPod" or "Apple Mobile Device." You may also see a yellow colored exclamation point symbol, which means you need to update the driver.
10. RIGHT CLICK the "iPod" or "Apple Mobile Device" and choose update driver from the menu.
11. A hardware update wizard will pop up. Choose "Yes, this time only," then click next.
12. Select insall the software automatically and click next.
If that doesn't work let me know. This is a fix I found on the Internet. Some people still had trouble afterwards and others didn't.

IPod Touch hangs with blue screen and restore mode also fails

My daughter's iTouch 3G crashed last night while she was playing a game came up with a blue/green screen and couldn't turn off. Tried reboot which brought it back to Apple Logo where it stayed for about 10mins. Then tried restore. Managed to get as far as connecting it to iMac and going through restore process to "restoring iPod software" until that hangs too - with "iPod couldn't be restored Unknown Error 1603". Tried again with Error 9.
Have followed troubleshooter - have latest itunes, USB settings, firewall etc. Works fine with my iPhone.
Any ideas or is the iTouch screwed?

Common, no one has any ideas? Well, don't know if this will help, but here's some new data to process. I noticed that when I was trying to load the firmware with Redsnow w/o installing any options to include Cydia I got errors displayed on the Ipod such as WMR NAND format invalid; NANDLegacyFTL failed. Someone has got to know something. I would appreciate any ideas or thoughts from anyone with any idea. Thanks

IPod Touch Screen not Working after using Assistive Touch

Hey everyone!
Yesterday my iPod Touch 4th gen touch screen froze (not the screen itself - it still wakes from sleep & responds to notifications and charging etc.), after myself accidentally taping 'Voice Control' on Assistive Touch.
I was wondering, since it's out of warranty (it's a couple of years old), I can't send it back. I'm currently backing up & restoring it.
Can anyone tell me if it's the software or hardware? It's going to take at least a good day or so to backup & restore, due to storage is full, and it's 32GB capacity, so it'd be good to know in advance.
And if anyone has got any other suggestions to fix it, please let me know! It'll be much appreciated.
Thanks heaps!
PS. Please don't tell me to repair it...it'll cost just as much to fix my whole iPod, buttons & screen than it is to buy a brand new one!!

There is really no what to know if hardware or software problem without trying to restoring the iPod. First from backup and then to factory settings/new iPod. If still problem then it is a hardware problem.
