  • Ipod Touch 5th gen stuck in restore mode

    My Ipod Touch 5th gen stuck in restore loop i keep clicking restore and i just keeps downloading the ipod software update, and i wont restore it just keeps saying that a ipod was found in restore mode..... Can someone please help

    The same thing happened to me, while restoring my iPod Touch Generation 5.  I don't know if you are still caught in the same loop but this worked for me.  I am using a MacBook Air running Mountain Lion version 10.8.2.  iTunes is at version 11.0.
    After running through the published Restore procedure without any success I found the Software Update file had downloaded as:
    "/Users/my_home_directory/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/iPod5,1_6.0.1_10A523_Restore.ipsw"
    The ~/Library directory is invisible on my machine, more than likely a design standard.  I used a terminal to first locate the file and then to copy the file to a readable location, my Desktop.
    My iPod was still stuck in Recovery Mode so I plugged it in.  iTunes was already running and identified the Recovery Mode iPod, prompting me to Restore it.  I clicked OK. 
    I held the option key while clicking Restore.  This opened a navitation window that enabled me to select the Software Update .ipsw file I had copied to my Desktop.  The Restore process then ran without any failure and the iPod is now running again. 
    This is not a formal solution as far as I can tell, nor have I verified the procedure across multiple iPods, multiple scenarios, etc.  I just wanted to share it as an "at-your-own-risk" alternative you might want to try. 
    Good luck, cupcakequeen83.

  • My ipod touch 5 generation 16gb wont restore on itunes and sometimes it says that an error has accord (4013)

    my ipod touch 5 generation 16gb wont restore on itunes and sometimes it says that an error has accord (4013)

    Check USB connections
    If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
    Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
    To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
    Use another USB cable.
    Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
    Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
    Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
    If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.
    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.

  • Ipod touch 4th generation will not restore

         My ipod touch 4th generation will not restore. It begain with a random problem with the device. I tried to open a application but the application would blink a few times then would not open. This was so for ALL of the applications. I then powered of my device to try and reboot it. The Apple logo will apear for about 5 seconds but then the sreen will go black and the Apple logo will apear again. I tried to reboot several times and it did not work. I then connected my device to my computer but it would not appear in Itunes. The only way for the device to appear was for me to put it into DFU mode by holding down the home and power button for 10 seconds. My Itouch would have the connect to Itunes on it. It was then reconized by Itunes. Itunes message appeared telling me that i need to restore my Ipod. I tried restoring the Ipod, but after the update downloaded a error would appear while it was going through the restoration proccess.
         My Ipod is under the one year warrenty and i also had purchased an extended two year warrenty for my Ipod. I do not know what i should do.

    ok i will my friend has my ipod right now but If it doesn't still work ill get the error number tomorrow.

  • Got a black screen on the iPod Touch 4th Generation. Tried restoring it and holding the lock and hold buttons but this didnt work. Do i need a brand new screen?

    Got a black screen on the iPod Touch 4th Generation. Tried restoring it and holding the lock and hold buttons but this didnt work. Do i need a brand new screen?

    If you successfully restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem. Could be the screen or something else.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • IPod Touch 3rd Generation stuck in recovery mode

    My daughter got an iPod Touch 3rd Generation for Christmas which was on version 3.1.1. iTunes told us an update to 3.1.2 was available and would we like to update it, we selected yes. The update downloaded and then the iPod wouldn't restore and is stuck in recovery mode with the iTunes symbol and the USB on the screen and giving us an error message 1604. We have tried different ways to get it to restore but it wants to update it to 3.1.2 which apparently has a problem with it. How can we get it to restore back to 3.1.1?

    I had the same problem yesterday. I tried restoring countless times, reinstalling iTunes... teh whole nine yards. I eventually called Apple, they didn't know what was wrong with it either.
    Unfortunately, its the Touch, not iTunes... you are going to have to return it to where you bought it, and exchange it for a new one. Call Apple, and they will give you a number to give to the store. Alternately, you can go to an Apple store, if you bought it at a retailer (Best Buy, Walmart, ect.) and see what they can do.
    Best of luck! ~*~

  • Tried to update ipod touch software now stuck in recovery loop any ideas?

    tried to update software on brand new ipod touch but now stuck in recovery mode (displaying usb plug into itunes logo) any ideas?

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

  • IPod touch 5th generation stuck on headphone mode.

    Last night I dropped my iPod touch 5th generation in a hot tub. I quickly got out and dried it off. I thought it was fine but, this morning I noticed that even when the headphones weren't plugged in it was on headphone mode. It wouldn't play music of sound. What do I do?

    Hey Rissa4700, You dried off the outside, but your problem is the water on the inside of your iPod, causing shorts. If not to late, but you have been trying to use while it is still wet, attempt to dry your iPod out. Leave it off, do not use or attempt to charge. Place it in a bag of uncooked rice for 7 days, change the rice every couple of days. After drying, attempt to turn on, you may need to charge for 30 minutes. If your iPod does not turn on, attempt to Reset, by pressing and holding the power and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears, (about 10 seconds) then release both buttons. May need to repeat this step. If that does not work try connecting with your computer and Restore from Backup, if no joy, Restore to New. Last resort, try DFU recovery mode if all else fails. If your iPod still will not work, contact Apple about an out of warranty replacement, this will cost you money, but it's cheaper than new.
    If you get the iPod to turn on, try the speaker and headphones, do you get sound? If all works as it should, the first thing you want to do is make a full set of backups of all the stuff on this iPod to your computer. The funny thing about water damage is it may work just fine, and it may quit without warning, you never know. If the sound only works when headphones are plugged in, the switch inside the headphone port may be stuck open. Try quickly plugging / unplugging the headphone jack about 12 times to free the switch. May have to repeat this step. And just be clear after you do all this your iPod may never work again. Good luck. Cheers.

  • IPod Touch 4th gen stuck in reboot loop after attempting to update to iOS 6.1.5

    Hi.
    I have my iPod Touch 4th Gen (iOS 6.1.3)....I plugged it into my computer, it said there was a software update available. I click ok, it goes through all of it's stuff, gets up to Verifying update with Apple, and then I get an error message.
    "The iPod 'iPod Touch 4' could not be restored. It is not eligible for the requested build."
    I know this has something to do with Apple not signing the package, but I got iOS 7.0.4 on my iPhone today and it worked fine.
    Thanks for all of your guys' help,
    -jwukitsch

    Try what you have not yet tried:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

  • Ipod Nano 1st gen. stuck in restore loop

    My first generation iPod nano is stuck in a restore loop. iTunes (Windows, XP)is up-to-date and the restoration goes ahead smoothly without error messages until it finishes; then the computer again says the device is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. It also doesn't cycle on or off using the dial while in this loop. Any ideas?

  • IPod Help needed from serious Apple gurus - iPod Touch 2g 16g stuck in restart loop. Will NOT enter DFU or recovery mode, NOT recognized by iTunes on Windows or Mac

    Ok, so here's the not so sad story. I bought an iPod Touch 2g 16g through Ebay - so forget warranties. Luckily I did not pay much. The description said it was stuck on the apple logo, so I figured it would be an easy put into recovery mode and restore problem.
    Not so much.
    If you plug the iPod in and charge up the battery the LCD will come to life after a while with the apple logo, then it displays the spinning wheel with the apple logo over it. That will last anywhere from 10 - 15 minutes, then the iPod will go blank for a few secs and then start up the cycle all over again.
    As stated, this iPod will NOT enter either DFU or recovery mode and believe me I've tried it several times several different ways with different timings, connected via USB to a Mac, connected to a different Mac running Windows, and connected to just the charger. Nothing. Occasionally the screen might go blank while holding the power and home buttons but nothing else happens and then it starts it's usual cycle again.
    Again, iPod NOT recognized by iTunes on either Mac or Windows side. Since I got off Ebay and seller didn't know much about it, I have no idea if someone tried to jailbreak this or not.
    I will not put much money into this machine. So I guess my question is: does this behavior mean that the motherboard is clearly fried? Are there any software programs that might diagnose what the problem is? Could it be as simple as a fried battery?
    And most importantly, is this iPod simply toast or is there anything anyone can suggest????
    Really any suggestions would be greatly greatly appreciated. Seems a shame to just trash an iPod touch that might need a simple fix...
    If it helps matters, I can tinker with iPods somewhat and have torn down and replaced several iPod touch 1g and 2g glass and digitizers with no problems. I'm somewhat software savvy but the whole jailbreak thing is new territory... and I can't really figure out the command in Windows or Mac terminals to list all connected devices so I have no idea if the computer even knows the iPod is there, even if iTunes doesn't. Guess that's it... ummm, please help???

    Nothing huh? No one's had this problem or this isn't fixable... oh well... if anybody comes up with anything I'll check in occasionally...

  • Help!! iPod touch (3rd gen) stuck in recovery loop

    Ok, so here is my problem: A couple days ago, something went wrong with my iPod touch because it wouldn't turn on unless it was plugged in and then all it would show is the screen showing that the iPod needs to be connected with iTunes. So I plugged my iPod into my computer and it said that iTunes had detected an iPod in recovery mode and that it would need to be restored. I hit restore and it restored and updated my software just fine. However, when it got to the end of the process and restarted the iPod, the same screen as before came up (iTunes detected a device in recovery mode, I would need to restore it, etc). So I restored it again and again and again, to no avail. I tried letting the battery deplete, them charging it then restoring the iPod and nothing. My iPod touch is 3rd generation and about 1 1/2 years old, if that helps. Please, please help me, I am desperate!!

    I had the exact same problem. And im not joking the exact same!
    To be honest, there is no straight forward answer. I just tampered with mine for about 6 days straight and somehow i fixed it.
    This is just an idea but what you could do is that once you plug your ipod in and it says "detected an ipod in recovery mode", instead of clicking restore, first hold "alt" on your keyboard and then at the same time click restore. This should bring up a window asking which firmware to restore it on. You can download ipod firmwares from this link   http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ 
    Once you have downloaded the firmware restore you ipod on the firmware you just downloaded. Mabey that will work. If not, your on your own mate. I just managed to sort mine out by luck but i tried looking every where on the net i couldnt come up with a solution.

  • IPod touch 4th generation stuck in recovery, black screen and failure notice "IPod couldn't be recovered due to an unkown failure (-1).

    Hi there,
    I bought an IPod touch 3 weeks ago and it seems pretty stupid as I had so much trouble with it.
    First all the music wasn't synchronized properly. Most of the songs have been stucked in the middle (although the time moved on properly) and jumped to different times. I restored and recovered everything twice and everytime I plugged my IPod in my computer it seemed to worked, but after synchronising the first time the second time my ITunes recognized the Ipod but I couldn't see the files or even synchronise again. I could finally download all new updates (for the IPod and the new Itunes) as requested. ITunes  reset the IPod but couldn't recover it properly.My Ipod has a black screen and nothing works. Apparently my Ipod is in a maintenance mode, but everytime I try to recover it (as requested) it works until I get the failure notice "unknown failure (-1), couldn't recover/restore. I spend the whole day checking the Internet for a solution and trying to update everything without success so I really appreciate an answer. I am travelling through central america right now and unfortunately there are no apple stores around.
    Thanks
    Daniela
    P.S. Sorry, my failure notices are in german, so I tried to translate them and the situation as good as possible

    See if you can get it into DFU mode and then restore.
