IPod touch froze up during restore

I have been struggling with this issue since getting a refurbished Touch to replace one that got fed to my washing machine. I could not for the life of me get it to restore on my pc..kept geting error 9. It has something to do with USB ports I guess. After talking to apple support..who were great and trying all the ports on my pc, i downloaded Itunes to my laptop and got it restored firdt try. Saturday morning I try syncing songs...no deal, it froze up my iTunes on my PC. Wouldn't work on laptop either. I go another 2 hour round with support and they send me to local Apple stoer. They check out the touch...give me new one. Get home to update and heres error 9 again, so I get out my laptop and try to restore the touch because it is now in restore mode and it it got stuck on waiting for iPod for like 15 minutes. Now the Touch is stuck on the apple icon with the empty bar screen for going on 2 hours now. Holding the power and home button down for 10 seconds DID NOT work, tried it multiple times. Anyone in the community have any ideas. I, in the time frame involved, have been able to successfully add items to my wifes Nano with no trouble at all from the PC that was giving me the error 9 message all the time.

wait for your ipod to finsh updateing for unplug it and wait for the battery to die. then hold the home button. then plug it in and wait for the apple symble to apper or connect to itunes to apear. should be able to do a recovery mode on it.

Turned Off iPod Touch 1st Gen During Restore. Did I kill it?

My 1st Generation iPod Touch wasn't being detected by iTunes so I chose the reset option that erases all data. While it was restoring, I thought it froze because the white progress bar under the apple stopped midway and I turned the iPod off. Now when I switch it on, the black screen with the apple logo switches on for about 10-seconds, and then the iPod powers off. My mac doesn't detect it and I've tried holding the home and the sleep key. What else can I do?

If I were you I would call Apple about this problem

IOS 4.0 causing my iPod touch to freeze during restore and update

I know there have been issues with the new OS and many questions too. I am so frustrated right now so sorry if I am asking a question that has been asked over and over:
I have a 2G iPod touch. The new OS is updated, but when I try to restore and update I get an error (14); the loading bar freezes about a quarter of the way through. On top of this, my iPod is locked on a screen with a usb cable and the itunes logo.
I have tried reinstalling itunes and re-restoring my ipod countless times. help! what do I do?

Im getting this exact problem i have Restored and Updated it 5 times now and left it while i go out for the day and over night but never gets past 1/4 of the loading bar then when i reset my ipod USB cable at Itunes logo and on computer it says that everything (Software, Memory etc.) is N/A so im guessing if this every gets solved im gonna have to start all over again

Ipod touch 2G stops during restore

I have a 8gb touch and my daughter a 16gb touch both 2nd gen. We both have IOS4 running with no trouble but today when I synced her ipod to itunes it said there was ios 4.02. So I clicked to upgrade to the newest version. Now her ipod does nothing. I tried to contact support but they are saying I have to pay for help. But this is crazy since it was their upgrade that did it. I had no issues with the ipod before this. I am afraid to do anything with my ipod since hers is stuck in a restore loop it looks like. It has been sitting since last night in the same spot. The apple logo on the screen and a bar showing it is half loaded. Is there anything I can do or is it junk now like all the other people I am reading on this forum that upgraded their 2nd gens?

Is there an error message and if so what is the number of the error message???
Step one:
RECOVERY MODE: (Leave ipod plugged into USB cable.
Hold down home button and power button AT THE SAMETIME!!!
When apple logo appears let go of ONLY THE POWER BUTTON.
KEEP HOLDING HOME BUTTON!!! until you see a box on itunes pop up
"AN IPOD HAS BEEN DETECTED IN RECOVERY MODE. MUST FIRST RESTORE
IPOD BEFORE USING IPOD WITH ITUNES.")
Step Two:
RESTORE IPOD

HT4972 I updated itunes to 5.1.1 then my ipod touch 3g to latest version but could not hear music from newly downloaded albums. I then did a restore, backing up and sync, it took 9 hours. My ipod touch froze and I couldn't unlock what do I do?

Can you help me? I updated my ipod touch 3g to 5.1.1 and itunes to the latest version. I then could not hear the sound with newly downloaded music albums. I decided to restore, backup and sync which took 9 hours. The ipod Touch froze and I could not unlock the slide bar nor turn it off. The ipod is turned on and that is all. What can I do? Thanks for any help you can give me.

try putting it into DFU mode...
hold down the home and power buttons for 10 seconds
let go of power button, the screen should go black in 5seconds
plug ipod in... do restore
hope this helps

My iPod touch froze, now everytime I try to turn it on, it deosnt work

My iPod touch froze, since then everytime I turn it on, it shows Apple logo for around a minute, then switches off.
I am wondering what is wrong since my iPod touch has always been in good condition

Is the battery fully charged?
If still problem after charging, try:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: 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 from backup via iTunes on the computer
- Restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

My ipod touch froze & after i reset it, it still won't turn on

my ipod touch froze so i held down the lock and home button to restart it. it did this but when the apple logo shows up as if its going to awaken,
it immediately turns off again. i tried holding down the home & lock button the whole time and it still immediately shuts off of flashes a white screen and the screen goes blank again. the ipod doesnt even do anything when i plug it into the computer or itunes so i can restore it. ive repeated processes to reset it conuntless times but it hasnt effected it at all.
i've tried basically everything to try and revive it, but so far nothing has worked.
anybody have any other tips or options that will help me make it work again?

Some more information, please. What happens when you attempt to sync? Any messages? Etc., etc., etc.

My ipod touch accidentally disconnected during sync, after that it wont sync at all. although it appears to be syncing on botht he computer and ipod, it rushed through "determining which tracks to sync' step and no changes are actually made.

There is no good way for yur problem since iTunes sees the iPOd. Yu can ry removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
However, I suspect a restor, first try from backup, is required.

If you weren't able to sync the purchases to a computer previously and now your iPod needs to be restored so you can't sync it now, then you may be out of luck and will need to purchase your content again. Officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications and iBooks. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places.
You can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service (select the "Music Purchases" or "Video Purchases" category, as appropriate, then "Lost or Missing Items". You'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) ") and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it.
Good luck.

The iPod's firmware is corrupt. You'll need to restore it again in iTunes. If necessary, place the iPod in recovery mode for iTunes to recognize the device. Use the instructions in this Apple support document to walk you through the process of placing the iPod Touch into recovery mode.
