IPod restore error AND iTunes won't redownload. HELP.

So I managed to let my battery die completely on my iPod by playing too much scrabble, but when I plugged it into the computer it said that my iPod was in recovery mode and I should restore it. I've tried to restore it 100 times but I get the iPod restore error {14} every time. I know there's another topic about this, but when I went through each and every single step that was offered, I uninstalled my iTunes, and when I went to download it my computer tells me there's something wrong with the setup file and won't allow it through, no matter how low the security settings are. I'm about to lose my mind here. When I plug my iPod into another computer it's not recognized at all. It won't charge with a regular just charge cable, nothing. Save me please.

I fixed the iTunes part. But even after all that I did get it redownloaded, my iPod still doesn't restore.

  • Corrupted iPod... and iTunes won't let me restore

    Because of an interrupted sync, my iPod is not being recognized by my Mac, or rather, iTunes tells me that my iPod is "corrupted" and needs to be restored. But when I try to restore it, iTunes tells me that it can't complete the operation because the iPod is "busy". Help!

    Type "unable to restore" into the search bar at the top of this page by Support and read the resulting help articles.

  • Updater "ipod service error" and itunes "reinstall itunes"

    I got my ipod exchanged just recently from a regular 20gb iPod to a color/photo ipod. I downloaded the newest iPod updater and the newest iTunes. I go into the updater program and a message comes up saying "iPod Service error". When i plugged in my unit to my computer, iTunes shows a message "the software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod software.
    Here's the problem. I went to Apple's online help and went through all the possible solutions it had (reinstall iTunes, Disable conflicting system services and startup items, disable conflicting system services and startup items and reinstall, resintall the COM interface for the iPod service) and none of them worked.
    What do i do? because I've spent the whole week trying to figure out what's going on. I've repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled both the updater and iTunes. Anyone have any answer to this?

    It might be a total pain, but you might do best if you call Apple Support if you can... Hopefully you didn't get a bad 'Pod.

  • IPad update/restore error and itunes no longer recognizes device

    I just updated my iPad to 5  today.  An error occurred during the restore and it is now stuck on the "connect to itunes" screen.  I have followed all the instructions to restart my iPad but now itunes will not recognize it.  When I follow these steps, the connect to itunes screen comes on but itunes does not start on my computer.  When I open itunes, the ipad is not listed as a device.  I've researched a ton of threads and have tried the following with NO success.
    Different USB
    Verified current version of itunes
    Verified & restarted AMDS
    Reinstalled itunes
    Temporarily disabled security software.
    Ran msconfgs
    I am so frustrated that nothing has worked and my iPad is still stuck.  I wish I had never done the update.  Please help!

  • I have just tried to update my iTunes to version 11.1.4 and now I get an error and iTunes won't install. I get error code 7.

    I have tried to upgrade my iTunes to version 11.1.4. Now I get an error code 7 and can't access iTunes at all. The message says there was a failure to install. I tried to go back to previous version, but that doesn't work, either. Any ideas?

    I am trying to sync my ipod shuffle to the itunes on my computer.  When I try to sync I go to the drop down file tab.  PULL up "devices" But the extended options of SYNC, RESTORE, Transfer and Backup won't allow me to click on them.  How do I activate?

    Those menu bar commands are disabled when you do not have a device (your shuffle) selected in iTunes.
    If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of iTunes) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, your shuffle should be listed under DEVICES.  Click on it there to select it.  Now, those commands under the File menu should be accessible.
    However, once you have the shuffle selected, many of those "device-related" commands in the menu bar are also on the iTunes window.  For example, there is a Sync button at the low-right corner of the window, which does the same thing as the command in the menu bar.

  • My iPhone cannot make or receive calls.  I tried installing iTunes order to sync everything and restore, but I am getting 0x ... 084 errors, and it won't work.  I do not want to delete all of my contacts.  Any advice would be appreciated.

    Oh, and I can't hook up my iPhone to iTunes because it's locked with a passcode.  I can't begin to type the passcode because of this stupid "Restore Needed - can't send or receive calls" thing.  This is beyond silly.

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

    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.

  • My iPhone 3s won't finish restoring and iTunes won't recognize it anymore.

    I woke up this morning and my iphone 3s was not working properly and I couldn't make or recieve calls or texts but everything else was working fine. Then I got a notification saying I had to restore it so I did, and it got all the way to the part where you reset the settings like the language and country but when it says "connect to iTunes" it stops working and iTunes won't recognize my phone anymore. It's not under warranty and I don't know if I can fix this myself or if Apple will still fix it for me. I also recently updated all my software so that shouldn't be the problem. Help!

    Hello Lehongdinh,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To troubleshoot this issue of your iPhone not powering on, please follow the steps below:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
