That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

Ipod stuck in restore mode, Itunes won't install.

Okay so first off, my ipod would not connect to my ihome and would say that this accessory is not supported by this device. And I looked online and apple said to restore my ipod. Itunes restored my ipod, but then said unable to restore. So my ipod is stuck in restore mode and itunes would not read it. So I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. After i uninstalled everything when i try and reinstall itunes, midway through it says "service 'apple mobile device' (apple mobile device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficent privelages to start this service." I really do not know what to do at this point. I need to get my ipod to work. When i go to device management it says apple mobile device(recovery mode). Please help ASAP

Yes i uninstall all itunes and everything that goes with it and when i reinstall itunes "service 'apple mobile device' (apple mobile device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficent privelages to start this service." comes up and gives me the choice to abort, retry or ignore. and if i click ignore it doesn't install and then i am where i started

iPod is stuck in recovery mode, and not recognized by iTunes.

If it does not work on other computers then I agree with the Genius

Ipod stuck in recovery mode and won't restore. says it can't connect to the network.

My son tried to jailbreak his ipod touch like an idiot and of course it did not work. Now his ipod is stuck in recovery mode and I can't get it to restore. I get a message that says:the ipod software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later. I have internet access and everything is working but itunes can't connect to it. Why? I have been having issues with itunes for a couple weeks now. I can't connect to the store and redeem itunes cards either.

Make sure the setting for your security software allow iTunes to contact Apple servers:
iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues
As for the iPod, since he tried to modify the software, the only thing that could help would be DFU mode , we can't help much more, problems with jailbroken devices can't be discussed in theses forums, due to the Terms of Use.
Your son has to ask those people for help, which encouraged him to jailbreak his device.

I factory restored my iphone and now it is stuck in repair mode. i cannot connect to itunes to restore as i get error "itunes cannot find disk"

i restored my iphone4 to factory settings because it was running slow and some apps werent working. My phone is now stuck in repair mode and is continually rebooting itself.

Try a hard reset: hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

Ipod touch(1st gen) stuck in recovery mode and cannot restore??

I just bought a used ipod touch 1st gen. It was fully functional before I wiped it. I wanted to remove all of the other person's music and personal info before I started using it. I also wanted to update ios. I wiped it and when it restarted it was in recovery mode. I have tried to restore it and I keep getting an error message that it could not restore unknown error has occurred (1). I have tried troubleshooting and going through all of the steps that Apple suggests and nothing has worked. Any suggestions? I just want it restored and updated to the latest ios that will work with it (3.1.1 I believe) I don't know what to do at this point.

ERROR (1)

Ipod stuck in recovery mode and restore fails every time

Hi, Just bought a refurb ipod touch (2nd gen 8gb). As soon as i plug it in and boot up itunes it says its discovered an ipod in recovery mode and that i need to restore it. Problem is the restore always fails. Not really sure what else to do? Ipod screen just displays the usb connect to itunes diagram all the time,
Do i have to send it back already or does anyone have a miracle cure?
Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
Try [Unable to update or restore|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808]. You may have to try this more than once. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, try [Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495]. (If you are on a Mac, there's a Mac link on that page).
If you device does not appear in iTunes or cannot be restored in iTunes (and you're running Windows) try [iPod is not recognized by Windows due to driver installation issues|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538]
If you are running any antivirus, spyware, firewall, etc. that might be interfering with this process be sure to turn them off. Also plug your USB cord into a different port than you tried before.

IPod stuck in recovery mode, and doesn't even appear in iTunes, so I can't restore, HELP!

So my iPod appears to be stuck in recovery mode, which shouldn't be a problem, but for some reason is isn't showing up on my computer. I'm not getting the "is not recognizable error" It just literally doesn't even exist to my computer, My iPod doesn't even show up in the devises on my computer, BUT WHEN I PLUG IT IN, IT CHARGES? so I'm just really confused, any input would be great. Thanks!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
