Ipod NOT restoring properly or being recognized in itunes!!!

so yesterday i was trying to (manually)update my ipod and then it somehow got messed up so i decided to just restore it. but when i went to restore it, after it 'restored' it normally says on the ipod to plug it into a wall outlet for the frim wire stuff or whatever but it never said that and it just went to the apple screen as if i had just reset it and then it automatically went into the 'do not disconnect' screen but it still wasn't showing up in itunes but it was showing up in my computer, so then i kept trying to restore it and still it never showed the 'plug into a wall' picture or anything until i finally just unplugged it once it was done restoring and just took it to be plugged in but that still didn't work. and i've tried uninstalling itunes and the updater but it doesn't uninstall, it's always still there and so i tried reinstalling itunes and the updaters but it doesn't seem to make any difference. help please???

no because normally, after the restore, the ipod screen shows a picture of you having to plug it in, and it never did, it simply showed the 'apple' picture (as if i reset my ipod) and then it automatically connects to my pc again and says 'do not disconnect'. and if i did quickly unplug it from my pc after completing the restore, and went to plug it in with my ac adapter thing, it wouldn't make a difference because it still shows the 'apple' picture as if i simply reset it.

  • IPod not turning on or being recognized by Computer and Mac

    I put my iPod down onto a shelf to play some Wii Fit (c) but when I came back from playing... my iPod didn't want to turn on. So I thought Oh, Okay just a regular problem so I went to my computer and started to put it into DFU mode... so I started and I was like.. How come I don't hear my bells on my computer telling me that I plugged something in... so I thought something must be wrong with my PC. So I went to my laptop... same thing happened...nothing... so now I am stuck with an iPod that won't be recognized by my computer.....
    I might have to send it into Apple, but I live a bit far away, so I could send it up there but it might take time to come back down..
    Anyone else have any suggestions??
    All help is appreciated,
    Thanks

  • Ipod Not Restoring Properly

    Hey, got a little stuck on this one.
    My iPod won't play- it says to connect it to the computer and restore. When I do so, it tells me it's detected an iPod in recovery mode and that I must restore it.
    I do so, waiting for it to go through the thing restoring itself. At the end of the process, it says "finished- wait for the ipod to reset itself" or something to that extent.
    Once it resets, iTunes again tells me its detected an ipod in recovery mode, and that I need to restore it- right back where I started. The same thing happened in Vista and XP Pro (I'm dual booting), but the problem began before I installed Vista.
    Any help I can get on this one would be most appreciated. It's a bit over a year old, so I have a feeling the warranty is gone, though I'll have to search through a filing cabinet of receipts to be sure.
    Thanks again.

    Hi Volm!
    A "recovery mode loop" like this one can be caused by drive letter confusion on your computer.
    Try assigning your iPod a different drive letter, following the steps in this article:

  • TS3716 ipod nano is not being recognized by iTunes.

    My ipod nano 2nd generation (and working perfectly) is not being recognized by iTunes.
    Any suggestions?

    Does the iPod work OK?
    Have you tied resetting the iPod? Nothing will be 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 would be to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes.  If iTunes does not see the iPod then the iPod is not usable. For recovery mode:

  • HT1369 Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed and mobile programs associated with my non apple cellpho

    Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

    I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
    Go to 'Settings'
    'Music'
    Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
    Then connect to iTunes and sync!

    Since installing the latest itunes to windows 8 my iphone and ipod touch is not being recognized in itunes, therefore i can't change playlists or add songs etc. Is this a fault with itunes as it was fine with the older version or is there something i can do. I'm not on IOS yet but would like to backup my phone first but can't do that atm due to not being able to view my phone on itunes!
    Thanks

  • 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.
