IPod touch attempted software upgrade now won't work

Purchased used iPod touch 8gig USB connect to iTunes on my g4. Gave me a software update choice which I accepted, then after several attempts will no longer show in iTunes and keeps the USB to iTunes logo only on iPod. Any fix? I know the local apple store will want more than a new one. Any suggestions?

Other users of 1G iPod (or any iPod with iOS 3.x) have experienced the same problem within the last couple of days. It appears that Apple updated the App store website to cause this problem. For the time being you just have to download them to your computer and sync them to your iPod.

Purchasing iPod Touch January Software Upgrade help

Alright, I'm trying to get the software upgrade for my iPod Touch 1.1.4. The screen tells me that if my iPod is connected to disconnect and reconnect after that I go to the bottom of the page and click okay and it just sends me to the iTunes Store main page. I've tried clicking okay then disconnecting and bringing up the page but nothing seems to let me purchase the software upgrade. Any help is appreciated.

I am encountering exactly the same thing. I had the upgrade and when using Notes the program locked up and returned to the iPod Touch desktop. Notes was now unusable. So I reset the iPod, installed 1.1.4, reinstalled iTunes. Tried everything a few times and kept getting the same pattern, from the web site to the iTunes January update page, then from there back to the homepage of iTunes.
It is like it doesn't recognize that 1.1.4 does not have the upgrade. Something is buggy. Hopefully with the next update it will work because it doesn't now.

IPod Touch w/ Software Upgrade, Minor Issue

I just returned the iPod touch 16g I purchased from Best Buy and got myself the correct version this time, the 8g with the software upgrade, they were out of the 16g. Anyways, it works fine, most of the timer, half to unplug and replug it in everytime I want to transfer a video file but I'm wondering why there isn't an automatic shutoff with the Touch since the original iPod has it included?
It's kind of ****** that Apple would release these firmware updates and not include automatic shutoff with the darned thing.

Do you mean like a sleep timer??

Ipod touch factory reset error, now won't respond

I was resetting my Ipod touch 2g to factory settings, selected not to back up old info, and halfway through the restore itunes gave me an error message and quit the restore. Now my Ipod is stuck on the 'connect to itunes' screen, which it will not leave, and is not recognized by itunes nor My computer. I've tried restarting itunes, my computer, and numerous other things, all unresponsive. Can anyone help? I run the newest version of itunes on Windows 7.

Without knowing what the error message said all I can suggest is:
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.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My ipod touch 3rd generation shut off when the battery died. When i tried to charge it but it would not charge and it wasn't recognized by my laptop.

IPhone 2.0 firmware for iPod Touch with Software Upgrade

Okay, don't get me wrong... I don't think Apple should always give everything away for free. But since I already spent my precious $20 back in January for the Software Upgrade, I should DEFINITELY get the $10 2.0 FW update for free since it INCLUDES the software I already purchased! Apple... ya listening??!!??

i COMPLETELY agree with you. i mean the math alone reveals the nonsense. i will be spending approx. $30 for the two upgrades, while plenty of people will be getting the EXACT same package for only $10! it's almost like we're being punished for purchasing early. what gives?

IPod touch 1st gen app store won't work

Hey all, I have an iPod touch 1st generation running firmware 3.1.3 and the app store is so buggy I cant download any apps except for in the featured part of the store... When ever I try to hit free or buy or 99 c or whatever you want to call it, the page becomes corrupted and I can't download the app. It won't let me put in my password. Also when I scroll down to the bottom to try to view screenshots the picture is all zoomed in and I can't swipe left or right. If anyone can help me get my iPod back too normal I would greatly appreciate it. I'm not jailbroken and have tried to restore the iPod twice now. :/ thanks in advance.

I tried to restore my ipod touch with itunes and now it doesnt work!!

I restored my ipod touch 2g and now when i turn it on it goes to the apple logo and turns off and thats as far as i get.

It means the device is in recovery mode. You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
You may need to connect it in recovery mode manually using the instructions in this Apple support document.

My iPod Touch 2nd generation's internet won't work.

My sister messed with the router and modem at my house and the internet was off the whole day. I fixed it, all the computers work fine on the internet, including a wireless laptop. I am connected to that same network like i always have been in the past, and I have three bars as well. However, the internet just doesn't work. I can't figure out why at all..please help!

Try:
- Resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Resetting network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

IPod Touch 4th gen notification center won't work

Ever since i bought my iPod, sometimes it just doesn't send any push notifications at all. I checked my settings, and all notifications are on but still it doesn't work. On top of that, I can't send or receive iMessages. It's really anoying. Even after rebooting my notifications don't appear. It sometimes takes two days, and then I get all notifications I didn't get over these two days. Does anyone know what's wrong? It's really annoying.
Thanks

Download problem with iPod Touch January software update

Hi, some problems with the software update. Please advise
- Ipod Touch user from australia
- went for holidays in malaysia for a while and purchased the software update via itunes australia
- The download did not start but i was charged $25AUD
- Returned to australia, attempted the download again but failed because itunes stated that the update has already been downloaded.
- Attempted to update the iPod Touch by clicking on "Check for Update" but software has already been updated to the current version (1.1.3).
- The new applications did not appear on iPod Touch.
Thanks in advance!

Hi pdra05,
Do you manually manage your music?
iTunes has to sync to unlock the January software, manually manage music has to be deselected.
Make sure your content on your ipod is backed up before sync.

Errors when updating leads to corrupt system files and this may be your problem. If you're using windows, connect your device to PC and run any third party app like Syncios. If it detects, you maybe in luck and try to back-up your data if possible. I hope that it won't and if doesn't, there is no other way to recover files. You should be restoring with iTunes and all data will be erased, or else your device may become unusable.

I have turned it off and on, held the off button down and the select button down but it still comes up with that picture on the screen. Have I broken it?
Please help.
