If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

HT1430 Ipod touch (5th generation) w/ lines across the screen - now dead.

My son's Ipod touch (5th generation) had lines across the screen. I turned it off using the home + on/off button reset, but the apple never came back on. Now it seems to be dead. Not dropped, not completely drained, no water damage. Just dead. Any ideas?
I have also tried plugging it into my Macbook Pro, and iTunes does not find it.
ITunes is up to date.

Try:
- 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

My ipod touch (3rd generation) is stuck on the screen that shows me to sync it to i-Tunes.

When I turn on the iPod touch, I get the screen that has a picture showing that I should plug it into iTunes, but when I do, I get a message that says I need a passcode. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and ran a diagnostic test to see if there were any problems and it said that iTunesHelper is currently not running. Everything else was working just fine. I don't know how to make sure iTunesHelper.exe is running. Also, the volume was not working properly before this happened. I'm not sure if that is related to the issue. Any suggestions?

You'll need to connect in recovery mode to get past the passcode and restore the ipod. After that you can set up a passcode you choose. Log into the ipod after that with the new passcode and deactivate the passcode in the Settings of your device. iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen

My iPod Touch 5th Generation lock/sleep button is jammed

I dropped my iPod and the lock button is sort of embedded into the iPod. Now, the body is scratched and the lock button is not working. I purchased AppleCare. Can I replace it with a new one? Or are there any third-party people who can fix it? Is this damage can still be fixed?

Only AppleCare+ covers accidental damage like yours. If you have AppleCare+ then Apple will exchange it for $29. Otherwise the exchange price is $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs
You can do it at an Apple store by making an appointment:
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
or send it in to Apple. See:

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.

How to fix a iPod touch 4th generation lock button?

so I went to apple to see if they could fix my lock button. They said i would have to pay a replacement cost of $99 and i already did to because I cracked the screen a few months ago. So there is no way that i will pay it again, IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY TO GET IT FIXED?

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If the Genius can't unstick it:
- They will exchange it at no cost if the iPod is defective, within warranty and not abuse.
- otherwise the exchange price is $199 for 64 GB on and $99 for the others.

Ipod touch 4th generation camera doesn't work after smashed screen replacement

I have an ipod touch 4th generation that i smashed to screen with a torch, i got the screen replaced however my camera shutter will NOT open at all, i can go into camera roll and everything BUT the shutter wont open and the slide to go from camera to video just blinks a few times. Ive tried everything from turning it off and on(note my off/top button doesn't work) I had problems with the camera before i had the screen replaced but now it doesn't work at all. And will resetting and/or restarting it through iTunes delete ANY of the conent i have on my Ipod?
Any help much appreciated as i can NOT afford to get it fixed at Apple!!

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
In that case take it back to the people who replaced the screen. They likely messed something up unless what broke the screen and broke the camera.

My iPod Touch 4th Generation 8gb won't turn on and is frozen on the loading symbol/wheel, I tried the method where you hold the home and lock button lots of times and it hasn't worked! What do I do?

My question won't all fit in but it says 'My iPod Touch 4th Generation 8gb won't turn on and is frozen on the loading symbol/wheel. What do I do?'
I've had this problem from about two weeks and I forgot about it, but today I wanted to play on it and remembered that it's not working, I've tried connecting it to iTunes via my laptop but I'm not to sure how to update it because I thought that might fix it, but no luck. I've tried the trick where you hold the lock and home button but nothing happened apart from it just went back to the apple logo and then to the frozen loading symbol/wheel. I need help!
