IPod Touch 4G 8GB in bootloop during update accident

Hi ervyone!
Well i as updating my iPodTouch4G to iOS6.1 i downloaded correctly iOS6.1 to my ipod (i was'nt using iTunes) and after it was downloaded in 25 minutes i was going to install it, it all went well and was going as it must be, but during the update i was around 20% or something i accidently pressed the power button but then he cancelled the update or something and now the screen goes to apple logo (boot screen) turns black then i see the logo again, and turns black and so on...
So i im not completely sure if pressing the button was the problem but i guess so, i already got it in DFU mode (Download Firmware Update) to repair the ipod in iTunes but iTunes gives an error while checking by apple does anybody have a solution of repairing my ipod touch?
Thanks in advance

My iPod touch 4G 8GB, lets me download apps on iTunes, but when I go to my iPod, and then apps, the entire selection is grey and won't let me click my new apps to add to my iPod. What can I do?

My iPod touch 4G 8GB, lets me download apps on iTunes, but when I go to my iPod, and then apps, the entire selection is grey and won't let me click my new apps to add to my iPod. Usually I just restore my ipod and re-download everything, but thats time consuming, and after I unplug my ipod from the cord connected to my computer, I can replug it right after and this will pop up again. I'm getting tired of doing this.
Like I said, it will let me download the apps off iTune, just when I come to my apps page on my ipod, it won't let me add it to my iPod. I can't download it straight from my ipod either, but iTunes doesn't work on my ipod, and when I update my apps, when they're in waiting they never move. What can I do?

I would say that you are not connected to the iTunes library you last synced with. You can only sync with one iTunes library. If you connect the iPod to another computer/another iTunes library then you get what you see.
You can only manually manage music and videos among different libraries, not apps.

Hi there fCdawg123!
I have an article here that can address this issue for you and give you some further troubleshooting steps:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
As you may note, this article was written for the iPhone, but the steps for troubleshooting will be the same for your iPod touch. This is the section that I believe will help you the most with this issue:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

IPod touch 4 has gotten stuck while updating/restoring.

Today I got a message that there was a new iTunes, so I updated it.
Then I got a message that there was a new update for my iPod Touch 4th Gen. So I updated it. ...or tried to. During the "restore" phase the process stops at about 25% (as seen on the progress indicator on the iPod) and won't progress further.
I've tried:
switching users
changing USB ports
restarting computer
forcing restore with power and home buttons
I am at my wit's end...it's my kid's iPod and he's crying (it's ok, he's 7) and I'm frantic and nothing I'm doing is helping.
any ideas?

Hang during restore process: Following Troubleshooting security software will frequently resolve this error. This error can be caused by the default packet size being set incorrectly. There may be third-party software installed that modifies the default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize or MaxGlobalTcpWindowSize entry into the Registry. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance in adjusting this TcpWindowSize values. Typically the default packet size is modified by 3G cellular network card software, ISP communication software, or Internet speed download optimization software. There are legitimate reasons to change the TCP/IP packet size and not use the Windows default settings (for example, network traffic optimization, home/broadband optimization, enterprise app optimization such as database apps, Exchange, and more). Deleting the "TcpWindowSize" or "GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize" entries in Windows Registry could affect the system's performance with other apps or on their network connections. Deleting the customized TCP/IP settings may require the reinstallation of any third-party applications that had modified the TCP/IP settings from the Windows default settings.
There are two ways to resolve this:
You can follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) , or follow the steps below to manually find and remove TcpWindowSize and MaxGlobalTcpWindowSize entries from the Registry.
For Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7: Go to the C:\\Windows folder and launch regedit.
Go to Edit > Find.
Search for "TcpWindowSize" entries. There are typically multiple entries of TcpWindowSize/GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize spread throughout the entire Registry. If "TcpWindowSize" exists, one or more third-party applications have changed the user's default Windows settings for TCP/IP.
Go to File and select Export. This step will export a copy of the Registry that can be used as a backup of the original settings.
Delete the "TcpWindowSize" entry.
Search for the next "TcpWindowSize" entry and delete each one until the Registry no longer has any "TcpWindowSize" entries.
Close Regedit, restart the PC, and test.
If you are uncertain as to why these registry entries exist and the PC is a business computer, contact your network administrator and determine what values TCP/IP can be set in their Windows Registry setting so that the PC can update or restore an iOS device rather than deleting the "TcpWindowSize" entry.
If editing the registry does not resolve the issue, restoring on a different computer that did not install the communication software is the step most likely to resolve this issue.

I have an ipod touch 4th gen, installed the latest update to iOS 6 and have lost all my music. Where did it go?

I have an ipod touch 4th gen, installed the latest update to iOS 6 and have lost all my music, apps etc. It also linked up with an alternate email address???? Help!

I have a similar issue happenning with my ipod touch 64GB running IOS 6.0.1. My music content is stored via itunes on my Snow Leopard macbook pro as well (and not in the cloud). The music on my ipod (which is sync'd to my macbook pro when I connect via usb) has randomly disappeared about 3 or 4 times lately, not during sync'ing and unrelated to battery charge levels. Fortunately I have been able to restore it by restarting my macbook pro then re-syncing the ipod, which it is now doing as I write, but it takes hours (for over 3000 songs). Having looked at a few other forum discussion pages, it seems this may be a bug related to IOS 6 updates and using music/itunes and podcast playing apps. The same thing has intermittently occurred with some other content such as downloaded podcasts, iplayer content and photos. Once I reconnected the ipod it synced and apparently restored the content, but I can't understand why it lost it in the first place, and its very annoying. Lets hope the reinstalling works on my ipod tonight....up to 248 of 3326 songs syncing as I write....

Ipod touch 2g 8gb cycles between battery screen

ipod touch 2g 8gb cycles between battery screen and logo scree. and does not startup suggestions why ?

After charging for at least an hour I would try in order:
- resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod, first from backup and then to factory defaults/new iPod. If iTunes does not see the iPod first try placing the iPod in recovery mode. If still unsuccessful try placing it in DFU mode.
for recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
For DFU mode:

I have an iPod Touch 4G 8GB and there's a few issues with it.

So. I've had this iPod Touch 4G 8GB for exactly 7 months and 4 days now, since August 1st, 2013, my most recent birthday. I got it from a local pawn shop, and it was used.* It was not fully configured when I got it, was extremely slow (even after a full restore) and had lots of scratches on the back and minor scratches on the front. It worked fine though, for my first iDevice. It came with no papers at all. But both the rear and front facing cameras worked fine, along with all the buttons, speaker, charging port and headphone jack. However, after a while, the device became more and more slow even after several hard resets and restores, along with the cameras slowly deteriorating in quality, even though I kept a case on it 24/7, kept it in my top control and always tried to use a stylus to reduce smudges. On March 1st, 2014, I dropped it. It cracked on the front, near the front facing camera, unfortunately, but it still worked fine. No unresponsiveness, no finger catching, nothing. Until March 3rd, 2014 (yesterday), that is. No real damage happened to the front other than the cracks, but the real damage was found, other than the fact that the rear view camera had these colored horizontal lines across the screen whenever I tried using it on the Camera app. No, this wasn't pixel glitches in general because nothing happened outside of the Camera app, and no, it wasn't just occuring specifically in the Apple Camera app, as I tested a few others. It also had trouble focusing, but I don't think that this happened mainly because of the fall, because it was safe inside the case, and it didn't land on the back. I also think it might have something to do with the fact that it WAS deteriorating in quality over the time I had it. It's not bad when I point the rear view camera at light, almost as if they're not visible at all. But in low light situations, it's quite dificult to get a good shot and I've been having to use the front facing camera to film. It seems to look very reddish in certain direct light shots as well. Also, it might be important to note that it also got scratched a lot more on the front and back (extremely bad on the back, I'm not kidding), specifically after the cracks occured.
Now, why am I telling you this? Well, I'm obviously not under warranty or Apple Care, but I'm curious to know if I'm eligible for a replacement, brand new or refurbished. I've read lots of stories on the website here recently about people's situations like this where they were able to get a new one for free/for a very low fee, and I'm curious. Here's some photos I took;
Oh, and I apologize for the low quality image pictures.

If you have not taken the iPod apart, Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for $99. You can do it an an Apple store
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Or sent it to Apple

IPod Touch 2G 8GB wont turn on or connect to computer. Device Malfunctioned

My iPod Touch 2G 8GB will not turn on or connect to my (or any other) computer or accesory. I'm not sure but I believe my USB cord may have been damp from a recent flood.
When I plug it into a Vista computer, a popup reads "One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it"
Do you have any idea what might have happened? I'm not positive the cord was damp, but if it was, does anyone know what it could have done to my ipod and is it salvageable?
I tried the standard home/power reset and tried plugging it into various accessories (car stereo, alarm clock dock) but nothing worked. THe screen is just black and hasnt changed at all.
If anyone can offer any input, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

Volume on ipod touch 1st gen after 3.1 update

i cant figure out how to control the volume on my 1st generation ipod touch after downloading the 3.1 update! please help!!!

This problem has been noted with a bunch of Touch updates. The easiest course of action would be to wait until the next update, which should be very soon - though there's no iron-clad assurance of success.
Your next option would be to visit a local Apple Store/Genius Bar, and have them handle it.

IPod Touch 1st Gen and 3.1 update DELETES volume slider

I had a perfectly working iPod Touch 1st Gen/16GB until I updated to 3.1 software. Now I do not have a volume slider.
Yes headphones are in but there is no place to adjust the volume. There is previous, next arrows and play and pause AND its centered in the rectangular area, but no volume slider.
I have restored it 3x in various ways. I have tried 5 times to downgrade the operating system but ALWAYS get an error, so it never completes. Of course the ipsw files where found using google because there isn't any links that work on Apple's site for previous iPhone software. If I try to restore to 3.1 right after that it goes through perfectly.
So it seems that Apple has locked out downgrading once you upgrade! All I want is my volume slider back. How can I get it back if 3.1 deletes it everytime and I can't go back to the previous operating system?
Thank you.

I too have had this exact same problem, except that I was running 3.0 and hadn't updated to 3.1. I put my ipod on the table overnight, after listening to it, and when I picked it up the next morning, theres no volume slider. I never even unplugged the headphones. Double clicking the home button while on the home screen would bring up the popup to skip songs, and there it says "Dock Connection" even though it not connected to a computer. Multiple reboots an no effect. I've tried different sets of headphones, to no effect. Its like the iPod isnt detecting them being plugged in. The worst part is i DO get sound in the headphones, but no volume control, and the sound level is turned really low. So the headphones ARE working.
I updated to 3.1 just now, and the problem has NOT been fixed. Theres no way anywhere in the settings to adjust the volume. Theres only a limit slider, so I have no way to turn up the volume loud enough to actually HEAR things.
