IPod screwing up again!!
Hello again, I managed to connect the iPod to a PC and had no trouble at all. However, when I reconnected it back to my iBook, it screwed up once again. It said I needed to reformat it. Yet everytime I try to restore it an error message pops up. I decided to let it wait, but the battery is fully charged and I've been waiting for at least an hour and a half with no luck on the restore. I don't know much about this formatting, because friends have let me borrow their iPods before and I can put songs on it from my PC and Mac. Is something wrong with the iPod? Should I return it and get a new one? Or can someone please help me fix it???
Ben, Chances are you need an update to the ipod. What is the ipod updater are you running? You might not want to hear this but you might have to upgrade itunes as well.

You need to connect to a computer with iTunes and restore...start iTunes, connect the USB end of the iPod cable, then while holding the home button on the iPod, connect the 30-pin connector end of the cable to the iPod. The proceed to recover and restore the iPod.

Ipod disabled try again in 23257422 minutes message. how do i now use my ipod touch
I have got the message "ipod disabled try again in 23...... minutes. Is there a fix for this
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer. -

I have restored and updated my ipod from recovery mode, however I still have the usb cord and itunes icon on the ipod when it is switched on. How can I get my ipod to work again? I have updated and restored 5 times! When connected to itunes it only shows the summary page saying ipod in recovery mode.
Fixed it!
1. Made sure itunes software was up to date
2. Pressed and held 'home' button and 'on-off' button at the same time for about 10 seconds till ipod reset (I hadn't done this step previously)
3. Connected to itunes
4. Pressed restore and update ipod
Update successful and ipod taken out of recovery mode -

Every time I sync my iTouch I get the following message - "iTunes could not back up the iPod because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPod. Delete the backup for this iPod, then try again." However, when I follow these instructions, delete the backup and try again - I get the same message. Any ideas what is wrong?

Hi, I don't know which Apple ID I used to register my Ipod Nano. I had to restore my Computer and now I can't connect my iPod to iTunes again. I have my serial number and ECID. I'm using Windows, BTW, sorry!
Search your email for the word Logic (and set the search to All) and you should find the receipt (so long as you didn't delete it)
Other than that.. simply contact Apple directly and ask.. Make sure you have your transaction details ready for them as they will need it...

Now I had to restart my Ipod all over again which because of that i lost all my data. When I want to get apps I can't install them because of a billing information problems. What security code do they want on my account settings information? And how do you delete purchased apps that you install, but didn't want?
Maybe the three or four digit security code on your credit card card

or maybe the answers to your security questions. If you do not remember them:

so please do something about it and give me the solution
thank you,
Saajan jainTo give you something, I need something too, like
How old is the Ipod? (if it is still under warranty, then send it to Apple service shop)
Are you running Windows iTunes or Mac iTunes?
What do you see on the iPod screen?
My guess is, your iPod classic is more than 2 years old and out of warranty, and the hardisk has gone kaput! and need to be replaced.
Have a nice day!
