IPod Failed connection status and constanly tells me to restore over.

I just got an iPod and i put my songs and everything on it. I listened to it for about 2 days connecting it to my computer a couple of times and then it told me that i had to restore my ipod and update. I updated and then i restored it only to finish the second step and skipping the process where i name my iPod. It just goes back to saying my iPod is in recovery mode and i need to restore it. Finnaly i put a new usb device in my computer and it worked. A day after it did it again!! does anyone know what to do. I have already looked at the five R's and Restoring doesnt work cause it just cycles over and over. I have put a new usb port in and i have restarted my computer. I have failed my connection status for my iPod but i dont know how to fix that. PLEASE HELP ME I JUST WANT TO USE MY IPOD.

You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

The iCloud backup does not include non-Tunes purchased music and photos that were synced to the iPod. The iCloud backup does not also included a few other things included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes.
The iPod backup that iTunes makes does also not included non-iTunes purchases and photos synced to the iPod.
free programs like iFunBox with copy non-iTunes purchased music and some other things from iPod to computer. A paid program like TouchCopy is needed to copy photos synced to the iPod to a computer.

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting

My ipod says "connect to your computer. use itunes to restore."

My ipod says "connect to your computer. use itunes to restore."
So I plug it into the computer and itunes says it needs to restore, so I click restore, everything seems to go fine, and it says the ipod needs to restart, it does, has a lil progress bar go across the ipod screen, then itunes detects the ipod again and says it needs to be restored again. This is an endless loop, anyone have any idea how to solve this problem?

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? Have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if restoring doesn't work, it may be of some help: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore

My ipod is brand-new and I mistakenly pressed the "restore" option! How can I put everything back to normal now?

My ipod is brand-new and I mistakenly pressed the "restore" option! How can I put everything back to normal now?
And after that, could you explain to me how can I put songs in it?

Re-sync your apps and content from iTunes on your computer or redownload it from the iTunes Store, then restore from your backup:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
That should put back most if not all of your settings and data. As to putting songs on, either purchase them from the iTunes Store or, again, sync them from iTunes:

My ipod touchs location services has stopped working. I just installed a new modem to my pc could that be the problem and how to fix ? ive already reset the ipod to new status and no help. thank for any help

my ipod touch has lost location services after i installed a new modem to my pc . it is turned on in the settings and i have even reset the ipod to new status. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Nothing you can do except wait until Apple adds the router to their database of routers and their location. If you or someone nearby does not have an iPhone it can take a while. There is no way to tell Apple to add a router to their database.

This might be caused by drive letter on your computer. Try assigning your iPod a different drive letter, following the steps here:

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:

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.

My ipod touch is freezing when it tells me to restore what do i do!

i tried to upgrade to the new software thinking it would do nothing to my ipod but it did now it is constantly in recovery mode i cant do anything with it it tells me to restore it so i try and it freezes whilst in the middle of restoring any ideas

Take a look at this link http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/troubleshooting/ipodtouch/
I would suggest removing itunes through add/remove and then installing the latest version 7.6 and then hook your Ipod up and reset it while it's hooked up.
To Reset you do this
1. Turn iPod Touch OFF completely.
2. Plug iPod Touch into PC/MAC while still off.
3. Turn iPod touch on, then IMMEDIATELY do the following steps
4. Hold the 'Home button' and 'sleep/wake' button together for atleast 5 seconds.
5. The Apple logo will appear
6. When this happens release the 'sleep/wake' button BUT KEEP HOLD OF 'HOME' BUTTON
7. Your iPod will reboot (Apple logo)
6. iTunes will recognise iPod in 'Recovery mode'
8. You will be able to 'restore' your iPod Touch now.

IPOD doesn't update and apparently can't be restored

I'm having lots of problems with my iPOD and iTunes. First, when I connected my ipod to update it got completely erased and I couldn't eject it. I had to follow the window's protocol to eject usb devices and it froze my laptop for hours. And ever since every time I connect my ipod I have trouble. The ipod never gets updated, the ipod never mirrors its itunes library. It actually sort of refuses to update calling unkonwn error (-36), but I also couldn't find an article about this specific article. And the "do not disconnect" message never disappears. I've re-installed iTunes lots of times but it never worked. Also I can't restore the ipod because when FINALLY iTunes recognizes the ipod it doesn't show the summary on the source list, so I can't do that either. Also the ipod updater does't work.
HELP!

Hi babacita,
Your iPod is most likely not defective.
Is your computer now or has it ever been connected to a home or office network of some kind? If so (and even if not it is worth a shot) the steps in the following knowledgebase article should resolve the issue:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499
Basically it just has you using Windows Disk Management to change the drive letter of a mapped network drive (or if that is not an option, the ipod).
Try it and let us know if it helps.
Good luck

- Try this is 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.
- Next let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour see if it works.
- Then try connecting to computer and restoring via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary.

My ipod wont connect/charge and is stuck on the home screen while trying to update it

i tried to update it not realizing i needed to connect to itunes so it was on the screen to connect to itunes all day during school til i got home and it wouldn't update so i restored it 5 times and then it wont charge/ connect or restore at all

If there is no passcode on the device, then try making a backup to iTunes. Once you have the backup (or if it's passcode locked and you can't make a backup), then use iTunes to restore the device to factory settings. You may have to use Recovery Mode to do so if there's a passcode on the device (alternatively if you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use icloud.com to remote wipe the device).
Once it's erased, see if you can set it up as new, and test the touch display. If the touch display is still non-responsive after it's been set up as new, then your device has a hardware failure and needs to be serviced or replaced. If you are still within warranty with Apple, it should be a free replacement. If not, then expect to pay $199 USD + tax for a replacement.
