IPod touch 4g- Updated, then tried to restore and it won't work.

I just updated my iPod touch 4g. I'm trying to restore it now, but it won't work and says 'Error 1611.'  My ipod has the 'plug into iTunes' symbol up, but my iPod is plugged in and it doesn't make a difference. I've tried restoring it several times with the same results. Help!

  • I accidently unplugged my iPod touch during update I tried to restore but the 'iPod update server could not be contacted' PLEASE HELP!

    Hi, please help me
    When my iPod was 'preparing for update' my iPod USB accidently fell out. I turned it on and a usb sign and an arrow to iTunes came up, so I plugged it in. It comes up with a message saying iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode, You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes. After that, I clicked restore and it said 'The iPod software server update could not be contacted' and that's it!
    I've tired,
    Resetting my iPod (the usb to iTunes sign still comes up)
    Holding down the Home and Power button at the same time for many seconds
    Restting my computer
    Going into LAN settings and changing that
    Please, I really want it too work as I just got it today for my birthday
    Any help would be much appriciated, thank you

    Yu can try here. However, other users been having the same problem so it may be due to a problem with the Apple servers.

  • My backlight for ipod touch is off I tried a restore and nothing...

    I tried a restore and the backlight is still off. I'm hoping there is a solution out there that someone comes up with?

    If you did not restore to factory defaults/new iPod try that.  Whan a restore to factory defaults/new iPod does not solve a problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

    I cannot access facetime or messages on my Ipod touch anymore.  I have restarted, restored and it still is not working..any ideas?

    It asks for my apple ID and password when I try to access facetime or messages
    .  After I enter it brings me to an email to select-then verifies and brings me back to enter ID again.

  • Updated to Yosemite, no problem.  now iPhoto and iMovie won't open.  Says I need to update software however, when i try to update indicates my User ID and PW won't work for these two pieces of software.  User ID and PW works everywhere else.

    I am having the same problem.  I even changed my password and updated all of my security information.  Now it just gives me an error and retry message, which of course also does not work.  Went to support and was going to open a chat (seemed the simpler option) and received a message that my support has expired for this serial number unless I want to pay $29.00.  So I chose the option to call later, which was the exact time suck I was trying to avoid.  Why wouldn't the new operating system also update the apps that were already part of my old platform?

  • 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.

  • Ipod nano lost all songs- tried to restore and wont

    Hi, I hope someone ca help me.
    The ipod nano lost songs. when connected to itunes- all songs seemed to be able to be loaded onto the device- but once disconnected they were not there.
    Then tried to restore (didn't need update) and it said that it wouldn't restore because ipod files are used by another application- (not that I am aware???)
    I did the diagnostic test thing and it said:
    Intel(R) 82801DB/DBM USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - 24CD , PCI bus 0, device 29, function 7. WARNING: problem with device.
    Obviously a problem with device.....Any clues- in very simple english- as I am a beginner- it took me hours to find this discussion forum!!!

    "all songs seemed to be able to be loaded onto the device- but once disconnected they were not there."
    This Apple knowledge-base article may help address that issue.

  • IPod touch dropped on the ground while charging and now won't charge

    Long story short, my wife was charging her iPod touch, one of our kids walked by and knocked the iPod to the ground and yanked the cord that was connected and now the iPod won't charge. If we wiggle the portion of the cord that's attached to the iPod (not the USB connected to the mac) it will make the sound like it is connected and then disconnects. We have found that if we sit the iPod a certain way sometimes it will charge but not 100% of the time. It almost seems like it is losing the connection in the cord but we have tried 3 different cords. Any suggestions on ways to make a tighter connection (think sticking the pencil in the old school Nintendo to keep your game cartridge to connect)?

    Worste case, Apple shoud exchange yours for this price:

    This place does not mentions a dock connector replacement but you can call and ask them.

    I would first make and appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to verify/determine the cause of the problem.

  • I tried to update my ipod touch software update by syncing with itunes and now its in recovery mode?  Is it possible to get it out of recovery mode?  if so, then how?

    I tried to update my ipod touch software by syncing with itunes and it put the ipod into "recovery mode".  Seems like the only option is to restore?  Is there a way to get it out of recovery mode?

    No.
    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...
