Ipod froze during update

Just tried to instal the latest update and my touch froze. Itunes displayed could not restore ipod.
Now my touch just diplays the connect to itunes picture. but itunes doesnt reconize it

Try resetting the iPod to see if it appears in iTunes. If it does restore your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Next try placing the iPod in recovery mode to see if iTunes will see it so you can restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Lastly see if placing the iPod in DFU mode will make it visible.

HT1600 Froze during update what do you do

My Apple TV froze during update, I can't turn off. What do I do?

Thanks for the reply. I have always enjoyed your posts.
I figured that I would be looking at a restore event for my ATV3 when the update appeared to have frozen.
So since I had nothing to lose I did a hard reboot on the ATV3. (off and on again)
The device restarted and as expected, the update had not been applied.
Did the update again. ( I was surprised at how long the update process took after the download.)
After the update seemed to have completed, The lone white apple icon blinked off the black screen, the TV/Flat screen via HDMI stayed black/blank. After turning the TV off and on and replugging the HDMI cables and still having a blank screen. I had no choice.
I did another hard reboot on the ATV3.
System started up with no problems and the update took hold.

IPod froze during ios update

I tried to update my iPod Touch 4th Generation with the new ios6 release but it froze during the update. Now all I get when I try to turn the iPod on is a blank screen. Can anyone advise me?

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 another cable
- 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.

I accidently unplugged my iPod touch during update I tried to restore but the 'iPod update server could not be contacted' PLEASE HELP!

Hi, please help me
When my iPod was 'preparing for update' my iPod USB accidently fell out. I turned it on and a usb sign and an arrow to iTunes came up, so I plugged it in. It comes up with a message saying iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode, You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. After that, I clicked restore and it said 'The iPod software server update could not be contacted' and that's it!
I've tired,
Resetting my iPod (the usb to iTunes sign still comes up)
Holding down the Home and Power button at the same time for many seconds
Restting my computer
Going into LAN settings and changing that
Please, I really want it too work as I just got it today for my birthday
Any help would be much appriciated, thank you

Yu can try here. However, other users been having the same problem so it may be due to a problem with the Apple servers.

My Mac OS X 10.5.6 froze during update.

I tried to update the software and it froze after restarting. (At the 'patching files' stage). I shut down the computer and when I started it back up it got stuck in a restart loop. It will not get past the Mac icon page with the turning wheel. The screen goes black and it restarts itself. Help!

Did this happen while installing 10.5.7? I've had two macs run the update very slowly. One hung up on the Leopard screen, one just took about 30-45 minutes but rebooted successfully.
Try shocking your PRAM (ctrlalt/opt+PR) while rebooting. I did this as a precaution when hung up on the Leopard screen after a hard reboot. Worked fine.

IPod crashed during updater - Won't start, weird icon

Hi!
I attached my iPod to my computer this morning to put more tunes on it. The computer recognized my unit, but told me I needed to update the software, so I did. After I clicked on Update, I was told to plug it in to an outlet to complete the update. Once I did that, the apple logo showed up and then I saw a new icon -briefly- that looked like it was directing me to connect to USB. I cannot find this icon in ANY troubleshooting or technical materials.
Now, my iPod won't start. I did the 5 "r" and tried to manually reset 8 times. It still won't start!!!
Help, please!!!!!!

If you have a FireWire cable, you can try starting up your Mac in FireWire Target Disk Mode. (Hold the "t" key down at startup.) Then plug your Mac into hers with a 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable. Your hard drive should appear on her Desktop. Then you can use her Disk Utility to verify/repair your hard drive. Note that it would be best if she was running the same version of Mac OS X that you have installed on your computer. For example, you don't want to try to repair a Mac OS X 10.4.x hard drive from a Mac with Mac OS X 10.3.x.
You can find out about FireWire Target Disk Mode here:

IPhone froze during update. How do you unfreeze?

When updating iPhone, a partial setup of iTunes was made. iTunes is not wanted or needed - user is deaf. iPhone is now froze with a request to connect to iTunes.

I'm guessing you mean iTunes on a computer (as opposed to iTunes on an iPhone).

iTunes is used for a whole lot more than sounds. For one thing, it is used to update the iPhone! For another, unless you are running OS X Mavericks on a Mac, it houses iBooks. It also houses movies and apps.
Bottom line: Get iTunes on your computer and then connect the iPhone to it.

IPhone froze during update and lost CD I purchased.

I plugged my iPhone 4 in after downloading a music CD on the iPhone. I was trying to transfer the CD to my iTunes library. When I plugged in my phone it said that there was an update available, 4.0.1 and asked if I wanted to update my phone. I clicked yes and when I came back a few minutes later the phone froze and had to be completely restored. However, the music CD was not transferred to my iTunes library prior to freezing and the CD is lost. Is there a way that I can get this music back into my iTunes library of back to my iPhone without having to pay for it again since it was a software issue with the phone?

Unfortunately, you may have to pay for the CD again. You should have had the option to backup your iPhone or been prompted to transfer purchases before the upgrade.
You can contact iTunes support and let them know what happened and see if they will authorize another download for your account.

IPod froze while updating

Last night I tried to update my iPod. When I pulled up iTunes, it said new software downloads were available, so I downloaded them. When I finished downloading, iTunes said "OK to disconnect" but my iPod still had that flashing red circle on it. I unplugged it, but the circle won't go away, and it's been like that ever since. What should I do?

What happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and restoer via iTunes?
If iTunes does not see the iPod
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

My ipod froze from updating to the ios 6 (the new updating thing).

I updated to the new ios 6 and after it finished loading it just completely went to a white blank screen. So i shut off the ipod and turned it back on but it just went back to the white screen. I tried letting the ipod die and recharged it but it just went back to the white screen or it becomes a blue screen. Plus, if i turn it off and back on the apple logo comes on and stays and then a few minutes later it shuts off for a sec and then comes back on to the Apple logo or just goes completely blue or white. I don't know why this happened. My ipod was completely normal. Its the 4th generation with 8gb. I tried to connect it to itunes but it won't let me. So i can't restore it or anything. I searched online but nothing helped. I also tried to let it stay on the charger over night and while I was at school , but it's still the same thing. Is my ipod broken? Do i need to go to the apple store or something ? Please help. Thanks.

Try placing the iPod in Recovery Mode.and the restoring. Try several times.
