Ipod touch 2G stops during restore

I have a 8gb touch and my daughter a 16gb touch both 2nd gen. We both have IOS4 running with no trouble but today when I synced her ipod to itunes it said there was ios 4.02. So I clicked to upgrade to the newest version. Now her ipod does nothing. I tried to contact support but they are saying I have to pay for help. But this is crazy since it was their upgrade that did it. I had no issues with the ipod before this. I am afraid to do anything with my ipod since hers is stuck in a restore loop it looks like. It has been sitting since last night in the same spot. The apple logo on the screen and a bar showing it is half loaded. Is there anything I can do or is it junk now like all the other people I am reading on this forum that upgraded their 2nd gens?

Is there an error message and if so what is the number of the error message???
Step one:
RECOVERY MODE: (Leave ipod plugged into USB cable.
Hold down home button and power button AT THE SAMETIME!!!
When apple logo appears let go of ONLY THE POWER BUTTON.
KEEP HOLDING HOME BUTTON!!! until you see a box on itunes pop up
"AN IPOD HAS BEEN DETECTED IN RECOVERY MODE. MUST FIRST RESTORE
IPOD BEFORE USING IPOD WITH ITUNES.")
Step Two:
RESTORE IPOD

Turned Off iPod Touch 1st Gen During Restore. Did I kill it?

My 1st Generation iPod Touch wasn't being detected by iTunes so I chose the reset option that erases all data. While it was restoring, I thought it froze because the white progress bar under the apple stopped midway and I turned the iPod off. Now when I switch it on, the black screen with the apple logo switches on for about 10-seconds, and then the iPod powers off. My mac doesn't detect it and I've tried holding the home and the sleep key. What else can I do?

If I were you I would call Apple about this problem

My ipod touch keeps stopping during playing music

My ipod touch palys a song for 10 sec then stops then when I play it again it stops again. What is wrong here?

-Try a reset. Nothing is 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.
- Does the music play OK in iTunes on the computer?
- Try unsycing and resyncing the music
- Restore from backup

IOS 4.0 causing my iPod touch to freeze during restore and update

I know there have been issues with the new OS and many questions too. I am so frustrated right now so sorry if I am asking a question that has been asked over and over:
I have a 2G iPod touch. The new OS is updated, but when I try to restore and update I get an error (14); the loading bar freezes about a quarter of the way through. On top of this, my iPod is locked on a screen with a usb cable and the itunes logo.
I have tried reinstalling itunes and re-restoring my ipod countless times. help! what do I do?

Im getting this exact problem i have Restored and Updated it 5 times now and left it while i go out for the day and over night but never gets past 1/4 of the loading bar then when i reset my ipod USB cable at Itunes logo and on computer it says that everything (Software, Memory etc.) is N/A so im guessing if this every gets solved im gonna have to start all over again

My ipod touch has frozen during restore.

I have a 1st generation ipod touch running on firmware 3.1.3

OR use this method
1. Press-hold the Home button (big circle below the screen)and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
2. Continue holding both buttons until the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart.

IPod touch froze up during restore

I have been struggling with this issue since getting a refurbished Touch to replace one that got fed to my washing machine. I could not for the life of me get it to restore on my pc..kept geting error 9. It has something to do with USB ports I guess. After talking to apple support..who were great and trying all the ports on my pc, i downloaded Itunes to my laptop and got it restored firdt try. Saturday morning I try syncing songs...no deal, it froze up my iTunes on my PC. Wouldn't work on laptop either. I go another 2 hour round with support and they send me to local Apple stoer. They check out the touch...give me new one. Get home to update and heres error 9 again, so I get out my laptop and try to restore the touch because it is now in restore mode and it it got stuck on waiting for iPod for like 15 minutes. Now the Touch is stuck on the apple icon with the empty bar screen for going on 2 hours now. Holding the power and home button down for 10 seconds DID NOT work, tried it multiple times. Anyone in the community have any ideas. I, in the time frame involved, have been able to successfully add items to my wifes Nano with no trouble at all from the PC that was giving me the error 9 message all the time.

wait for your ipod to finsh updateing for unplug it and wait for the battery to die. then hold the home button. then plug it in and wait for the apple symble to apper or connect to itunes to apear. should be able to do a recovery mode on it.

Hey there our3goldens,
It sounds like you are unable to successfully boot your iPod Touch. I would recommend these steps specifically from the following article, named:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

My ipod touch suddenly stopped charging when connected to my iHome audio system.

My iPod touch suddenly stopped charging when connected to my iHome audio. I downloaded the newest update to iTunes and then when I plugged my iTouch into my iHome a message popped up that said the iPod touch was unable to charge on the device.

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod and dock for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Contact iHome. Maybe there is a firmware update for the dock. Sometimes an iOS update breks compatibility. However, sometimes the following works
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Ipod touch won't finish restore

ipod touch won't finish restore. It has apple logo with almost completed bar and it stops. itunes still says restoring ipod software. Just updated itunes.

I had the same problem and the sad thing is that you wont find any solution, I left my ipod over night with the apple logo screen and the loading bar almost full but it wouldnt move, next day it was still there, I had to unplug it, and I'm pretty sure this cause irreversible damage to your device in the long term since itunes warn you no to disconnect the ipod while the sync is being done and it also messed up my computer, I had to force it to shut down since it got stuck with itunes trying to restore my ipod, you just need to keep conecting your ipod until itunes recognize it as an ipod in recovery mode then it will sync again and everything should work this time, that is what happened to me. Good luck.

My ipod touch accidentally disconnected during sync, after that it wont sync at all. although it appears to be syncing on botht he computer and ipod, it rushed through "determining which tracks to sync' step and no changes are actually made.

my ipod touch accidentally disconnected during sync, after that it wont sync at all. although it appears to be syncing on both the computer and ipod, it rushes through "determining which tracks to sync' step and no changes are actually made.i restarted both and reset the ipod. i checked to see that the computer recognizes the ipod (yes) and tried to sync over wifi with the same result...(i am afraid to retore to factory original beacuse the problem is about transferring from th computer itunes to the ipod)

There is no good way for yur problem since iTunes sees the iPOd. Yu can ry removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
However, I suspect a restor, first try from backup, is required.

My iPod touch is stuck in restore, if i rebute iTunes will it delete all my stuff on iTunes?

HT201263 My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine, but when I went back the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. What should I do?

My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine earlier, but when I went back a few hours later, the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. I thought it just needed to be charged but there seems to be a larger issue now. What should I do?

Let your ipod die. Then when it is dead charge it adn turn it back on. After that it should be fine.
