  • My itouch is stuck on "connect to Itunes" screen and wont restore.

    Ok so I tried to do the software update but now when I turn my itouch on I get the connect to itunes screen with the picture of a usb going to itunese logo. When I do connect to itunes it says its in revovery mode, so I have to restore it and delete everything in my Ipod (WHICH ***** A LOT). But when I tried to do that it just says my files are corrupt and it cant be done. So what can I do? I tried to do the DFU thing but it doesnt work. Please help!

    Try on another computer with another USB cable.

  • IPod Touch 4th gen stuck in connect to itunes mode

    At first my iPod Touch 4th gen said that it was "iPod not eligible for requested build" as I was trying to update to iOS 5. SO I went on internet and looked up the error. It told me to do a manual restore. Now my iPod is stuck on the "Connect to iTunes" screen and is not being recognized by iTunes: "iTunes could not connect to this iPod because an uknown error occured (0xE8000022)."

    *Forgot to say, What should I do, PLEASE HELP!
    Thnx in advance

  • Ipod touch 4G is stuck in "connect to itunes" screen.

    I just got my brand new Ipod Touch 4G (iOS 4.3.5), I connected it to my PC and put some music on it, I was using itunes 10.4.
    I update to itunes 10.5.0 and it wouldn't recognize my ipod. I searched online for solutions with no luck.
    Itunes says: "itunes was not properly install....."
    In My Computer my ipod showed as Camera Device, wouldn't let me copy  videos or pictures to the folder.
    In Device Manager, Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) has the yellow warning triangle
    I don't have a CD with the ipod software -it didn't come with it- but I downloaded iOS 4.3.4, iOS 4.3.5 and iOS 5 in case I need them.
    I updated to itunes 10.5.1 and it recogized my ipod, it said a new iOS 5 was available, so I click to update to it.
    Everything was going right, until my ipod got stuck in the "connect to itunes" screen, and it didn't restore. (error 1604)
    Some times (with no reason at all) itunes would recognize my ipod and say "itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode. you must restore this ipod before it can be used with itunes" I click OK, Restore and Update, it takes  some time and then, "error 1604"
    I've been searching online, but nothing works, I've tried these:
    -Putting the ipod in DFU mode, it would restart the ipod but the same screen will come up.
    -I uninstall, verified and reinstall itunes and its components (itunes, QT, Apple Software Update, AMDS, Bonjour, Apple Application Support)
    -Restart a million times my pc after installing.
    -downloaded fixrecovery.exe but it won't even start because zlib1.dll was not found.
    -downloaded RecBoot and it says "I must install the following .NET framework: v4.0.30319" -How do I know what framework I have???
    inside the RecBoot folder was the program iPHUCWIN32.exe, I started it and it says "this application has failed to start because iTunesMobileDevice.dll was not found".
    *Note:
    My HP Pavilion G60-235DX Notebook won't let me install updates from the Windows Update software (error 80096001). for a while now.
    The DVD/CD drive dissapeared from my computer (about 2 months ago), haven't found a solution for it yet (can't afford to take it to a repair shop or send to HP) that's why I'm trying myself.
    I want a solution for the IPOD problem, the rest will come later.
    Seriously guys, can some one help me with this? I'm desperated...
    Any good software to restore my ipod ? (I don't care about erasing all the content -I want it to work like it supposed to).

    I connected my ipod to another pc with windows vista also, with itunes ver. 10.4.1.10 but error 3194 came out, so now I'm going to try this:
    Exit iTunes
    Locate your hosts file:
    In Mac OS X /etc/hosts
    In Windows c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
    Open the hosts file with Administrator privileges using Notepad.
    Add the following lines to the very bottom of the hosts file:
    #74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com
    Connect your device to the computer
    Launch iTunes
    Put device into DFU Mode by turning your device off and then holding down the sleep and power button for 10 seconds, then release the power button but hold onto the home button until iTunes tells you that the device is now in recover mode
    Use the iTunes Restore feature as usual with the iOS device
    Once your iOS update is finished, remove the “#74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com” line from your hosts file again so that iTunes can properly update as usual.

  • Hi i bought a second hand ipod touch 1st gen it cannot connect to itunes store at all i have tryed restoring and differant usb ports, please help as its for my 6 yearold to play apps on and i cant down lode any even from my itunes..

    Please could some one help..

    What happens when you try to connect to the iTunes store? Error message?
    What iOS is on the iPod? Settings>General>About>version
    For apps you need at least iOS 2. The last update for the 1G is 3.1.3 that you  get here:
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    However, there are not that many apps compatible with the 1G even with 3.1.3.

  • Ipod touch 1st generation stuck in connect to itunes mode what do i do?????

    hey,
    ive tried everything,
    i cant put it in recovery because i have a passcode...
    itunes says to enter the password.. but how can i when its on that screen...
    it wont even let me go in restore mode in itunes...
    this is really annoying and i have really old pics on the device
    please help

    Did you follow the instructions here for placing the iPod in recovery mode:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    I do not understand this statement: "i cant put it in recovery because i have a passcode..." since placing the iPod in recovery mode is how you allow a restore.
