IPod touch not working after data erase

I have an iPod Touch 1st generation. Although it is old it always worked perfectly. It was until I put "erase all data" in the iPod settings when it stopped working. I'm not sure of what I did. I was expecting to erase only songs,apps, videos, photos, etc... but now I don't know if I erased some important software that makes the iPod work. The ipod always turn on when I charge it, but I only see the white apple and the sign that is loading. I'll be glad if you help me on this!

Sadly, I too am having problems here...I recieved apple error 2330 sometime after the Fall...I have been trying to sleuth and work my way around all this mumbo jumbo for months!
1) I cannot properly use iTunes for some reason
2) I erased the data in my ipod Touch (1st generation) manually via the iPod Touch, and right after I did this, it gave me the Apple logo with the slash and the spinning progress wheel that users above mentioned...
Please help us!

IPod touch not working after 5.0.1iOS update

It seems like a lot of people are having issues after the new 5.0.1iOS update. I want to share my frustration and what problems I'm facing. After the update my ipod won't sync properly. It freezes my computer and then my computer shuts down everytime I have my ipod connected to my computer. My music and apps on my iPod are like ghosts they are visible but do NOT work after being pressed. I tried resetting the ipod, same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, same problem. There is only problems with my computer when the iPod is plugged into the computer and trying to update. I am so ANGRY because I love my iPod and I can't use it to listen to music or communicate with my family and friends. I hope Apple will help all of us soon and fix these HUGE bugs, and FAST.

Have you tried the sandard fixes:
- Reset. 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
- Retore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Ipod touch not working after update

I just attempted to install the latest iPod touch software update via itunes. It downloaded and started installing and everything seemed normal. Then I got a weird error that said something along the lines of "Could not update ipod. Error 9" Now the ipod won't turn on at all, won't reset, and itunes doesn't recognize it. When I plug it into my pc (where it is synced), I get a windows bubble that pops up saying the device isn't recognized. When I plug it into my mac, nothing happens at all.
Any suggestions?

Hey everyone. I had this same issue (1st Gen iTouch crashed in the middle of the update with an error, then perpetually showed the USB cable picture and wasn't recognized by my PC).
I was flying West for Thanksgiving, and the prospect of not having my music was so terrifying that out of complete desperation, I borrowed my roommate's Mac to see if I could somehow magically finish the update there. For whatever reason, it worked!
I don't know if it was the fact that it was a Mac, an older version of iTunes, or what, but I was able to do a restore after downloading the new firmware on his computer (I think it was an old Powerbook G4), though I lost all my data. Still, it works now, and I was (thank God) able to listen to it on the plane trip after re-adding my music.
So I wish I could give more details, but at the very least, THERE IS HOPE! Maybe someone more daring and less busy than I can narrow down the variables, otherwise I'll see if I can figure more out when I get back home this weekend. However, I sincerely hope Apple takes responsibility and figures it out themselves before then. Given how serious losing your ability to listen to portable music is for most of us, I really can't believe that they haven't even deigned to address this issue on their own boards.
Anyway, happy Thanksgiving everyone, and hang in there.

Ipod touch not working after upgrades.....

So I went ahead and upgraded my itunes to 10.5, and got the newest download for my touch (can't remember what number it is). Now when I went to sync my ipod itunes didn't recognize my ipod, and when I went through and did everything the tech manual said with the whole msconfig stuff, it worked for a little while. Went ahead and synced my ipod and none of my music showed up as being in the ipod, but on teh ipod usage it showed them all as being there. So I restarted my computer and turned off my ipod thinking that will work. Logged on my computer about 30 minutes later and now my ipod isn't being recognized by my computer again. Please help.

And now my other 2 ipod touches are not showing up on itunes as being recognized. Someone please help.

Mail on iPod Touch not working after iCloud password change

A few days ago, I was prompted to change the mail password for my iCloud account. My iPad and MacBook mail were both successfully updated and then accessed. When I tried my iPod, it said the password was incorrect. I delted the account and added it again, but the account is still not accessble.
After some research, I think my iPod is a second-generation model. It was purchased two years ago this month, so I was disappointed to see that it cannot be updated to iSO 5. Because I cannot have this upgrade, I cannot get the iCloud option in Settings which would help me out. I suspect this is the root of my mail problem.
Is there any way to get my mail to work?

Update: I just spent some time with an on-line chat. Turns out that when I switched to iCloud a few months ago, I missed an opportunity that started on May 1, 2012.
For those of you who have not yet made the switch to iCloud, the paragraph below might help. Please note that the Apple help said that I should use Firefox rather than Safari to access the site. Crazy! Why would an Apple Application not work.
What if I just want to keep using my email on all my devices?
As of May 1, you can choose to keep using your mail after MobileMe ends, even on devices that don’t meet the iCloud system requirements. Just go to me.com/move and select the option to keep using your email after MobileMe ends. Once you have completed this short process, your mail will continue to work on devices that don’t meet the iCloud requirements after MobileMe ends on June 30, 2012.

IPod Touch Not Working After Upgrade

I upgraded my iPod Touch 4G from iOS 4.3.5 to iOS 5.0. After the upgrade, the iPod Touch is stuck on the "Connect to iTunes" screen, and is not seen by iTunes. Does anyone know why this happened, and more importantly how I can reload iOS 4.3.5? Thanks for any information you can provide.

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
Try resetting your iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

Ipod touch not working after being attached to new charger

I have a 3G ipod touch, and recently bought a mains charger. Although the charger isn't an Apple, it is compatible with the itouch (i checked with around 4 different retailers). As soon as I plugged it in, the touch heated up incredibly, so I unplugged it straight away, and now the touch won't work at all - doesn't reboot, isn't recognised on the PC, won't charge via the computer etc. The retailer admits that the charger is faulty - they've tried in on another ipod and nothing happened at all - but I'm not sure if they will accept liability for my ipod. They are saying I should contact Apple.

Ipod Touch Not working after dropping

I dropped my Ipod Touch and not able not turn it on after that. The screen shows frozen state (time of the dropping) with no brightness. Any input on this appreicated. Thx

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I'm sorry to hear of your woes... Have you tried the standard troubleshooting techniques?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306418
If the screen is still showing a display and is intact then you may be in luck.
Otherwise you're probably looking at a household insurance claim (if covered).
If you do get lucky this time go and get yourself at case too.
Let us know how you get on.

New iPod Touch not working with G3 iMac

I got a new iPod Touch (4 gig) for Christmas. Tried plugging it into my iMac Power PC G3, and I get an error message. ( error OxE000001). Is my iMac too old to work with the iPod touch?
Also as a second issue, I have a wireless network, but I don't have it broadcasting it's name for security. When I turn on my lap top, if it doesn't automatically find the wifi network, I just type in the network name, and it pops up.
Any way to do this with the iPod Touch? (Type in the network name, even though it's not broadcast)
I'll also list this question on the WIFI section.

Ken;
I AM running with iTunes 9.0.2. in my slot loading G3 iMac. There is no special Hack.
You tried to help me earlier, when my G3 just would not work after I upgraded Safari and iTunes. I ended going to the Genius bar, where they worked on it for hours to get it going again. They installed earlier versions of both programs.
I was going to keep it that way, until I was given an iTouch for Christmas. The iMac just did not see it. I was resigned to updating my iTouch through my son's iBook.
In a question I had about upgrading my wireless network, John Galt said his 500mhz G3 worked OK with the iTouch. Over two weeks I slowly installed what he had, (or close to it) I think Safari has a G3 version, that I may have missed when you were helping me.
The last thing I upgraded was iTunes 9.0.2. After three or four tries, and plugging in the iTouch USB cable directly into the iMac, the iTouch was recognized! It seems to work fine over the past week or so.
Some odd things I have to live with. When I plug in the iTouch, iPhoto will start and ask about downloading pictures from the iTouch. I have to manually start iTunes if it is not already on. It does not automatically start like it does with my iPod nano.
Also I did not realize how slow this machine is, I thought down loading a CD through a La Cie DVD/CD player at 1.3x speed was fast. My son's iBook downloads a CD a 9 x speed! Oh well... slow but steady.....

IPOD TOUCH NOT WORKING WITH ITUNES

I am using:
iPod Touch 16GB 1.1.4 (With $25 Software Upgrade)
Windows Vista Premium Edition
iTunes 7.6.2
Whenever I connect my iPod, the device connect sound is made and it shows up in the my computer window, but it will not show up or sync with iTunes.
I HAVE ALREADY TRIED THE FOLLOWING:
Reseting the computer
Reseting the iPod
Using a different USB port
Using a different cable
Erasing ALL of the iPod's contents (Yes I lost my $25 update as well)
Restarting the "APPLE MOBILE DEVICE SUPPORT" in the "systems" application
...As well as many other things, all with absolutely NO results.
I have tried to manage my ipod through other programs, nothing seems to work. I connected the iPod to a different computer and everything worked fine.
I ASSUME the problem has something to do with the iPod Touch's drivers; for whatever reason they might be corrupted or installed incorrectly, thus preventing the iPod from automatically reinstalling them as well as preventing the possibility of syncing.
My question is, how can I reinstall the drivers without having the iPod touch do it automatically?
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

I fixed the problem myself.
If anyone else has this same problem and is looking to fix it, here is what I did.
I found this on another site:
"Okay well I spent about an hour on the phone with Apple trying to fix this problem. The guy I talked to seemed to have delt with this problem before. He tould me that Apple was getting numerous calls about the iPod touch not connecting with iTunes. So here is the solution that worked for me.
The first thing you must do it uninstall iTunes and Quicktime using the controll pannel, add/remove hardware, on your windows computer. Once you have uninstalled both of thoes programes go ahead and look for anything else that is Apple and uninstall them as well. There should be an Apple updater or driver that is very critical to uninstall, this was the cause of iTunes not recognizing the new iPod Touch. Next make shure you have the very latest update for Windows on your computer, you can check this on Microsofts web page. Finnaly once you are shure you have UNINSTALLED EVERYTHING that says Apple, iTunes, or Quick time restart your computer and MAKE SHURE THAT YOUR IPOD IS NOT CONNECTED TO YOUR COMPUTER. Then download the newest version of iTunes and install it. Once the installation is complete go ahead and connect the iPod Touch and everything should work.
I am not shure if this will work for everyone but in my situation it worked. I hope it helps some of you out there!!"
That worked like a ******* charm. Hope this helps.

IPod Touch not working with Verizon fivespot modem

I cannot get my iPod Touch to work with my Verizon Fivespot hotspot. The hot spot shows up in the WAN settings, but when I try to reach the internet it says it is not available. The Touch works fine with my home hotspot. Any ideas?

Do other devices work with it? What says "not available"? Is it Safari when you try to connect to a website? If you go into the network settings what IP address is assigned to the iPod? Do wifif arc show on the upper left? Have you looked at the documentation for the Verizon product?

I got ipod touch not working, screen totally blank and the problem is i don't have nearly a year what should i do

i have ipod nano wont works after i changing its and the problem is i cant remember when i got its or if its out of warranty, what should i do??

If the card has been redeemed onto your account then you shouldn't need to re-enter it - I've never had to re-enter any of mine, and once a card has been redeemed it effectively becomes zero, it's value should be added to your balance. What is happening when you try to buy the song ?

IPod Touch Stopped Working after erasing all content and settings

I have a 32GB Touch I bought in January from Amazon. I just got the new iPhone and was planning selling the Touch. I used the "Erase all content and settings" and, since then, the iPod Touch does not respond. I let it sit over night since the manual says it can take a while but no joy. I've tried all the reset options. iTunes does not recognize it either.
Any suggestions?
Additionally, I have the receipt from Amazon but can I take it to an Apple store if it needs a fix/replacement?
Thanks in advance.

I was able to spend more time digging in the forum and came across the solution (thanks to modular747). Although this solution specified the iPhone, it worked fine on my Touch:
Do a DFU recovery:
1. Open iTunes.
2. Connect the iPhone
3 Press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple icon appears (ignore the red slider if it shows).
4. Continue pressing the home button alone until iTunes sees your phone in recovery mode.
5. Follow the prompts to restore the iPhone.
