    Are you sure it is 1043? I've never seen that error before. But you can try disabling your security software, connecting the phone to a USB port directly on the computer (not a hub), and trying to restore again.

  • My iPod touch will not shuffle or move on to the next song on an album/ playlist. Is there anything I can do. It has had very little use even though I've had it for 2years.

    Can anyone help with an iPod touch that will not shuffle or move on to the next song on an album/playlist?

    After you dry the iPod:

    Connect the iPod to a charging source overnight and then try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1766 i just bought iPod touch 8GB put it in iTune and it show only 34Mb available. and it been use 6.2GB (other on Summery) no App. sync. I don't have enough space to sync any application!?

    I just bought iPod touch 8GB put it in iTune and it show only 34Mb available. and it been use up 6.2GB show from the iTune Summery as "OTHER 6.2 GB" so I don't have enoght space to sync any much application for my kids. How do i do? I already make sure it has no Picture, songs ...all only app that come with the factory default. How do I do? or something wrong..
    I got iPhone and another ipod touch (32GB) but it has a lot of space available...I just can't fix it out what OTHER  6.2GB used came from?

    Other can be files that the iPod has "lost" or can no longer recognise.
    So either you bought this second hand and it had someone else's stuff on it, or you were unlucky and the first Sync of your iPod to iTunes resulted in a lot of "Other".
    Conect the iPod to iTunes and on the Device/Summary pane (tab) look for and select the Restore button.

  • IPod touch 8GB: speaker? and can i use the mic in the headset if I buy it?

    As written in the subject line:
    Does the iPod touch 8GB have a speaker? And more importantly can I use it with the microphone in the headset, if I buy it?

    only the first generation of iPod Touch will not be compatible with the mic. so it isn't related to the capacity of the iPod at all.
    if you are planning to buy a new one, it will even came with the headphone that include a mic. if you are planning to buy a used one, make sure which generation it is.

  • IPod Touch, 8gb size, mostly broken(cracked screen & have to use in a dock). Can I get cash out of it somehow?

    I have an iPod Touch, 8gb in size.  The screen is broken and it mostly has to be plugged into a dock to work. 
    My question is does anyone know of a trade-in program, or, some way I can sell this iPod?  Is there a trade-in program, or something I can utilize to get some cash back or some credit out if this iPod?  Or, should I call it a day and just trash it at this point - and admit all is lost?!
    Your knowledge and input is appreciated, thanks!

  • New ipod touch 8gb wont read on computer at all...not even in "my computer"

    i bought an ipod touch 8gb today and brought it home and downloaded itunes then plugged ipod in...says its got full battery, but on 4 computers, it wont read on any of them using every usb port there was on each computer...ipod wont even show up in "my computer"....what is wrong? i have tried the updating drivers and reinstallling drivers and reinstalling itunes and even going down to itunes 7 and 8 versions but no matter what i do my computers will not read my ipod touch...yes the usb ports do work and are minimum 2.0 and system requirements are exceeded as i have expensive computers...what is wrong

    I had the same problem when I bought my Touch 2 months ago. Here is fix I used:
    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090209182107AAR4juY
    First (MAKE SURE YOUR IPOD ISNT CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER, AND ITUNES IS RUNNING!!) you have to reset it by holding your home and power button. Make sure you slide it to power off. Then as it powers on, hold the home button and connect your ipod to the computer at the same time. (DO NOT LET IT GO FOR ANY REASON) as iTunes loads it, it'll say that your iPod is going into recovery mode. Click ok, and restore it.
    It worked for me. Hope it helps...

  • Blue Screen when I plug my Ipod Touch 8GB(Late 2009)

    My problem is when I plug my Ipod touch 8gb to my laptop(Acer Aspire 5632wlmi,intel core 2 duo processor T5200-1,60 GHz-533MHz L2 cache,1GBDDR 2,Up to 384MB NVIDIAGeForce GO7300 TurboCache,System: Microsoft XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3,all required updates are done),the windows system detects problem and windows shuts down to prevent damage to my computer,this error message appears in blue screen with the technical information of :
    *Stop : 0x00000007E(0x0000005,0X00000000,0xF78FD7C8,0XF78FD4C4) .
    When the system goes down,I have to shut pc down from the power button and when I switch my laptop on I receive an error stating that "system has recovered from a serious error " which has signature of:
    BCCode : 1000007E BCP1:C000005 BCP2:00000000 BCP3:78FD7C8 BCP4:F78FD4C4 OSVer: 512600 Product:256_1
    And error report content is:

    C:\DOCUME~1FATIHF~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERffa3.dir00\sysdata.xml
    What I have done regarding to try to solve the problem ,but not worked at all:
    1-I have uninstalled Itunes ultimate version(iTunes 9.0.3 for Windows XP,Vista or Windows 7) and other Apple related components on my Laptop(apple application support,Apple mobile device support,Apple Software Support,Quicktime etc.)
    2- a-I re-installed all components mentioned on step 1 and plugged my Ipod: It works when I plug for first time,then I sync with my audio,art-work folders.Then I unplug my Ipod to listen music and see my Art-work,when I plug my Ipod for 2nd time to my Laptop,it crashes and that same blue screen error occurs.
    b- I uninstalled all Apple components and plugged my Ipod to my Laptop,it charges the battery but no blue screen occurs.
    3- I reset my Ipod and meanwhile uninstall all Apple components again(exactly like in 1st step) in my laptop,then I re-install all components to my laptop, and follow the same steps as exactly in 2nd step.I plug my Ipod and it works for first time,than I do sync through Itunes again,than I unplug and use my Ipod,when I plug for 2nd time than the same blue screen error appears and laptop crashes.
    4- a- I reset my Ipod and Meanwhile uninstalled all Apple components,I re-installed iTunes 8.2.1 for Windows XP,Vista or Windows 7) but the same blue screen occurs.
    b- I uninstall iTunes and plugged my Ipod to my laptop,no blue screen occurs.
    5- I asked my colleague who has MacBook and plug my Ipod to her MacBook, than open Itunes,but Itunes(iTunes 9.0.3 for Mac OS x) can not see my Ipod as device and I am not able to do anything.
    6- I've searched in Apple official websites and Google and many Blogger sites,Fan sites and all other possible technical sites but could not find any solution.
    7- I've contacted(phone call) to the Local(Portugal) Support Apple Support Centre and explained all history of the problem clearly.But they could not help me,they advised the same possible solutions which I've already done and they said that they can not do more.And than they gave me a support mail address to contact.([email protected])
    8- I've sent an email to [email protected], 2 days later they've answered me with the information that they are phone based support therefore they not provide me support.
    Basically I am not able to import or export anything to/from my ipod,anyway all windows is going down.
    It is first time I buy Apple product.My friends who have Apple products were generally positive about them,and I was thinking to by a MacBook as well,but after this problem I got doubts and I am not satisfied and happy at all. Since days I am trying to find solutions and find the exact support contacts to get helped with this problem.But could not reach any information. Now I don't have any positive Idea about Apple products or support service.I went to the Techno-Market which I bought the Ipod to change with an Iphone or at least try to have my money back if not possible to swap it with Iphone,but they've told me that it has been more than 15 days and they can not swap it or refund it,even if it was possible they would not refund it because the very sensitive backside of Ipod has some small but visible scratches.
    Anyway I can see the difficulty of having Apple product,having support of product and finding the right contacts to communicate is not easy and I would really be very happy if anyone could change this idea of mine with helping me out to use my Ipod with peace and without any other problem.
    As you can see,I spent a lot of money to buy it and spent days to find solution to my problem and spent a lot of energy to find right Apple Support contacts to help me with my problem.And I am not able to use my product as I wish.
    Please advise me regarding to solve my problem. I hate to deal with courts and other legal ways to take action in those kind of cases. But if not of course it will be my last option to do it so.
    I am waiting an answer,please try to answer me as soon as you have an answer for me.
    Thanks In advance
    Best Regards
    PS:If you provide me an email address which I can send all print screens and full blue screen error message .txt I'll contact you soon after receiving your contact.

  • HT201263 When my ipod touch is in recovery mode, when i try to restore it, the itunes page says the website has timed out so it won't recover. Can anyone please help me?

    When my ipod touch is in recovery mode (when I try to re-store it) the itunes page sayes the website has been timed out and so it won't re-store. There is a limited time, whilst restoring the ipod, it lasts for approx 5 mins, then asks to start again all over again. Can anyone please help me?

    Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store.

  • My Ipod touch 8GB cannot turn on

    My Ipod touch 8GB cannot turn on even when I press the home button and sleep/wake up button together as instructed. It keeps on showing the sign whereby need to connect to Itunes. However, we connected it but it still does not turn on and the home screen never came up! >_<

    Is it still charging? If yes, make sure it has been charged for at least 15min, then connect in recovery mode, explained in this article: iOS: Unable to update or restore

  • My ipod touch 8gb has a blank white screen what do i do

    hello i need help with my ipod touch 8gb 3rd geniration i dont no how to spell gen. because the screen turned white when i did nothing i tried pushing the awake/sleep  button with the home menu buttton it did not work eny ideas

    Please don't use the over-sized bolded font.  It's annoying and, honestly, offensive.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
