IPod Touch 2G Update Problem from 2.2.1 to 4.2.1

Hi @ all
and at the first, sorry for my bad english.
I have a strange problem with my iPod Touch 2G 32GB.
At the moment there is the version 2.2.1 installed.
When i connect it to the pc, there pop's up a Message,
that there is a new version (4.2.1) available.
Wenn i confirm this, the update process is running,
but after some time, it pop's up an error message.
(Mostly error 1601 or 1604).
AND the iPod is complete dark (only black screen).
No apple logo or itunes connect image, only black.
With some time i get 'blind' in the DFU mode and so
i can recover the Version 2.2.1. All other firmwares
3.x or 4.x do not work. Alway's the same Problems.
I have tested this on different pc systems with the newes
iTunse version and in Recover and DFU Modes with the same
bad results.
What can i do, to install the firmware 4.2.1 on my device ?
I hope someone can help me.
Best regards,
AttNet

Yes, i have do all the things, but with the same result.
I have update a second ipod touch 2g 32GB (from my girlfriend) from
2.2.1 to 4.2.1 without problems.
Only my device have this problem.
I have the newest itunes installed on two different pc systems also with
the same bad results.
I found the following. Before the update is started, the device is
in by example DFU mode. I can see it with usbview on the port.
When an update is running normal, this descriptor is canceld and the
device coms up with an other one (by example iBoot Device)
Then the update start. The first USB connection is ok, and then, this
one is canceld but the second on, don't come up.
itunes wait a long time for it and the ist pop up error 160x message.
For my bad device it work's, when i use an firmware file with version
2.x.x but for all others (3.x and 4.x) the update do not work
(while the second usb descriptor don't comes up).
But this is not an hardware Problem of the device and not from the
pc side. 2.x Versions are running .....
I hope someone has an other idea for me :-(
Best regards and thank you for your reply !

  • Ipod Touch iOS4 update problems

    i recently updated my ipod touch to iOS4 software. the only problem is that i cant multi task, and i cant add a picture in the menu screen. so, i decided to search the web for an answer, and it turns out unfortunately, there is currently no help for 3rd gen 8gb and 16gb users (im 8gb). so, i was just wondering whether anyone knew if apple were going to sort out the problem, as it's a bit of a pain. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! thanks

    I'm afraid to say that this is not a bug and won't be fixed.
    As reported on the main site .. http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/ios4-software-update.html
    1 Not all features are compatible with all devices. For example, multitasking, custom wallpaper, and Bluetooth keyboard support are available only with iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and the third-generation iPod touch (32GB and 64GB models from late 2009).
    2 Multitasking is available with apps that have been developed to work with iOS 4.

    Force close the App Store app and reset the iPad. No data will be lost when you reset the device.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
    - Next connect to iTunes and update via iTunes. Others have had the same problem.

  • New iMac with existing iPod Touch (64G) authorization problem

    I got a new iMac and transferred everything over to it from my existing iMac using the migration assistant during the first boot-up. When I sync my existing iPod touch (64G 3rd gen) I get stuck in an authorization loop where the Mac says I need to authorize the computer, I do so and then it says the computer is already authorized. New CDs that I have imported into my iTunes library since I bought the new iMac will not load onto the Touch during sync and some (but not all) of the music that I have purchased from iTunes will not play on the iMac. I have already checked to make sure that I have all the recent software updates and I do.
    Any idea what is going on and how to solve this frustrating problem?

    Deauthorizing and reauthorizing my Mac solved the problem with not being able to sync newly imported CDs with my iPod Touch.
    The problem with not being able to access some of my purchased iTunes music is a function of having 2 different iTunes accounts that I bought tunes with. I'll need to contact apple customer service to sort that one out.

    Working on a single computer with multiple users, I have set things up to allow each user to view and listen to the others' music libraries under the "Shared Library" function.  Can you then connect an iPod touch and copy music from a shared library?

    Was your wife logged into the libray at the time you tried to log in? I have had a similar problem and it was because another user was logged into the library when I attempted to. I got the permission denied banner.

  • IPod touch 5th generation (replacement from Apple Store) - yellow tinted screen

    I have an iPod touch 5th generation replacement from the Apple Store, and the display is slightly yellow compared to "new" or floor models. There are also some areas where the yellowing is more obvious than others. Is it possible to get this replaced at an Apple Store?
    I have read other posts where the yellow tint goes away within a week or so. I have had this problem for months.

  • I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro and software 4.1 on my 2g iPod touch and having problems getting photo's to sync. Same error iPod can't be synced req'd file can't be found. Tried deleting the photo cache, restoring the iPod etc but to no avail.

    I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro and software 4.1 on my 2g iPod touch and having problems getting photo's to sync. Same error, "iPod can't be synced req'd file can't be found". Tried deleting the photo cache, restoring the iPod etc but to no avail.

    Try here:
    iTunes: Unable to sync photos
    Usually deleting the iPod Photo Cache Folder works. Note that if you sync via the folder method, make sure you dlete all the ifolders since :
    The iPod Photo Cache stores the photos that are optimized for display on your iPod, iPad, or iPhone. The location of this folder depends on the syncing options you select. In iTunes, if you change the selection in the “Sync Photos From” pop-up menu, a new iPod Photo Cache folder will be created (and the previous folder will remain).

  • My ipod touch is having problems with the headphone jack when I rotate a little song stops

    my ipod touch is having problems with the headphone jack when I rotate a little song stops

    Hey Silverdemon, sounds like a short, most likely in the headphones. Try a different set of headphones with this iPod or try the headphones with a different device. If the problem stops with your iPod or it moves to another device, then replace the headphones. If within 1 year of date of purchase Apple will replace the headphones for  free if problem is a defect, not abuse. If the problem continues with a different set of headphones, check the port for damage and foreign debris. If you note debris, attempt to remove it, if damage noted contact Apple and set up an appointment to have it evaluated. if nothing appears wrong, try plugging / unplugging to jack about 12 times maybe corrosion on the contacts if so that should clean it. Next thing to try reset your iPod. After that try restore from backup. Last resort, restore to new. Just make sure you make a full backup to your computer before you restore so no data is lost. If nothing works, contact Apple and set up an appointment to have your iPod evaluated. Good luck, Cheers.

  • IPOD touch 3G updated then wiped out everything!?!?

    IPOD touch 3g updated and then wiped out?? What can I do? It didn't warn me or anything that it would wipe my memory. Is there anyway to recover my lost data? I don't understand how it can do that, I have hundreds of dollars in music on it!!!

    The backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music. If those are not in the iTunes library on which you did the update then they are gone. This has been the case for all updates and restores.
    See:
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For other music you will have to obtain them from where you got them the first time.
