Ipod touch not recognised by Itunes and will not slide to unlock.

Hi,
I got my Ipod touch 32GB 3rd gen for christmas last year, my battery ran flat some time last week. When i plugged it into my computer via USB to charge, it charged for a few minutes then stoped. When i looked and tryed to unlock the Ipod, it will not slide to unlock, same with the slide to power off, I have pushed both home and power botton to reset; both plugged into compter and not however after the reset it still will not unlock. when pluged into itunes i get a message saying it needs a full factory settings restore, i start that process, however i am shown an error message which reads "the Ipod software update server could not be contacted. An unknown error occured (1612)".
Sorry about the long post, can anyone help, has this sort of thing happened with anyone else before?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks Alot.

- See if this program will get it out of recovery mode:

    My ipod touch is not recognized on itunes and will not turn on or even give me the battery sign that it is dead. I turned it off and it won't turn back on now. The screen is completely black and won't do anything. I have tried charging it over night and nothing happened. It was never near water. I have tried troubleshooting it by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button, but nothing happened and it didn't work. What can I do to fix it?

    Apple will most likely exchange it. The one you receive will be refurbished.

  • Ipod touch was working, shut down and will not power up

    Ipod was working. Went dead and will not power up. The unit was charged. I connect it to a charger and I get nothing. Tried the power and home button combo but the unit is not responding. It is less than 6 months old

    Try restoring the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  If iTunes does not see the iPod:
    - place the iPod in recovery mode.  See:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - If not successfull, try placing the iPod in DFU mode:

  • Airport utilities does not recognise windows 7 and will not load, how do I fix this?

    Airport utiltiy will not load, it does not recognise windows 7 and I get an effor message telling me that it requires XP  or vista etc.
    I have deleted and reloaded Airport Utilities, Bonjour and Itunes to no effect. Help!

    well...i go only to the site "Test it here: http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml". After this i was able to go to a site with the title "Java Downloads for All Operating Systems" and here you download your JRE for your OS. For XP or Win 7 it was a java 6 update 29-b11. The file to install is named '''jxpiinstall.exe'''. After install an restart you go again to [http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml testvm.xml] and see that the java plugin works fine.... (see the screenshot)...

  • IPad not recognised in iTunes and showing not charging from wall charger

    I have had my ipad a year and today it is not recognised in itunes, also when charging from a wall socket 10A ipad charger it shows Not Charging (however trickle charges). I have tried resetting (holding both buttons for 10 sec) with no benefit, i am reluctant to resset everything as if this does not work I have a dead iPad.
    No other items have changed and there does not appear to be any visable damage in the conector on the iPad, note an ipod conects in itunes, so it is not a Mac side issue. This feels like a software issue on the iPad.
    Any help appreciated if anyone else has had this issue.
    Thanks

    Update: Apple agreed to a replacement iPad even though I did not return faulty one to dealer till 2 weeks outside of warranty.  The replacement looks brand new.  Dealer told me Apple does not repair iPads as they are a sealed unit.  I am doubtful that is true.  Suspect they do 'refurbish' and use as replacements.  Am grateful to Apple for the new iPad.  Two thoughts as to why they agreed to it despite faulty one out of warranty: 1) Consumer Guarantee Act in New Zealand - which trumps manufacturers warranties and says among other things that goods sold must be of an 'acceptable quality' (and I did mutter to the dealer about the CG Act); 2) It stops owners blabbing on forums like this what component failed on their iPad... and hmmm maybe Apple recognises a problem with the lifespan of the dock connector/cable.

  • Trying to activate my 3GS and the phone will not recognise the sim and will not activate

    Help Please
    I have changed my call plan with my service provider from contract to PAYG and have just tried to upgrade my 3Gs to IOS 5.0.1. I have purchase a iPhone 4 and was using the 3Gs as  back up.
    I set the phone to factory restore as it was being sluggish and I felt a restore would be the best option. The restore went ahead but the phone will not accept that I have a valid sim in the phone and will not activate stating that the servers cannot activate the phone. 
    The sim is the new PAYG sim given to me by O2 and I had even arranged for the number to be transferred to the PAYG sim. I am at  a loss to understand what has happened as the sim will work fine in an old 8gb Iphone 2g and other mobiles. I have not kept the old contract sim so I am unable to insert that to see if that was the problem.
    How can I get my 3Gs acitated and working? Do I need to contact O2 or take the phone to an Apple store. Any advice would be appreciated.

    You need a valid micro-sim. to acivate.

  • Ipod touch 4g is not recognized on itunes,and will not sync

  • Ipod touch stuck in recovery mode and will not restore. error code 3194

    ipod touch stuck in recovery mode, will not restore and comes up with error code 3194, itunes is up to date, please help

    Hi @rchangel - Thanks for the ideas...
    Yes - it won't let you install the 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine.
    I've had a cursory look at the SP1 release notes, and couldn't spot anything vital - what critical stuff do you know of in SP1?
    I don't want to have to go through all the pain of setting up VM's, reinstalling iTunes, getting all my album art back in etc. (though I could, as I do have Win7 pro). I've also heard that running iTunes in Windows 7 compatibility mode might help. Can anyone confirm whether that actually works?
    I think it's in Apple's gift to fix this issue, given that they say that they support Windows 7. So far I've had no feedback from a mail I sent to Apple, and the number of users reporting this problem keeps going up and up.
    I want Apple to recognise that there is a problem, and then I want them to fix it.

  • Ipod is not recognized by iTunes and will not sync

    When trying to sync my ipod up with iTunes, it is not recognized as a device by iTunes and cannot be synced up. Any ideas? Thanks.

    I had this issue. Basically, iPhoto would recognize my iPod Touch and my wife's iPhone, but iTunes would not. Thus, I knew it was not the USB cable or ports.
    In one forum, I tried something and it worked.
    In Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor, I stopped iTunes Helper.
    Then I downloaded and reinstalled a fresh copy of iTunes.
    Once I restarted iTunes and plugged in my devices, they appeared just like they used to.
    Hope this helps.

  • My IPOD Classic 160GB is now not recognized by iTunes and will not sync

    I have a 160GB IPOD Classic that now will not sync with iTunes. Both the iPod and iTunes have up to date software versions and I am connecting thru a MAcBook Pro running OS X 10.10.2. I have synced this iPod i the past with no problems and now it does not appear in the iTunes source list.
    I have tried the rest options that the Troubleshooting guide suggested and now at a loss for the next step.

    This is a problem caused by 10.10.2, only way to fix it at the moment is to revert to 10.10.1.
    Quite a few threads on it on other sites and only that one solution. Make sure you raise a feedback to apple though.

  • HT201263 My 4th gen ipod touch is 6 mos old and will not turn on

    My 4th gen ipod touch is 6 mos old. Tried to turn on today and nothing.  Plugged into computer held down sleep/wake button and plugged into computer with usb.  Nothing.  It has not been dropped or bumped.  It has been stored as I don't use it often only to play music on spotify thru internet.  I probably haven't used this ipod more than 20 times.  Any suggestions?

    - After being connected to a charging source for at least an hour see if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
    - If not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
