  • IPod Touch 4G frozen on restore

    Hi folks
    I have an iPod Touch 4G. It is a replacement as my old one failed to work anymore (freezing on restore and had pixel issues anyway).
    My new one has the most up to date IOS 4.3.5. Today I added my apps back onto it with no issues. When I added my music, the iPod would come back with "No Content", after syncing. There was an error message that would come up in relation to syncing, upon physically connecting the iPod with iTunes open.
    Once I resolved that (deleted old backups and manually had to copy some files to a directory), the music was coming up and syncing was no issue. When I played the music, it was jumping a few seconds into a song then going back to the start, skipping, making glitchy sounds. I removed all music and manually added it back. No joy. I removed the music, converted some to AAC and still no joy. Tried numerous fixes from forums etc, but music still doing same. I was reluctant to do a restore, but figured I had no choice.
    So I do the restore. Upon restore it freezes. It says "Restoring iPod software" and gets about 1/8 of the way. Like my old one!!! I manually deleted the restore file, so iTunes would download and extract a new IOS. I started again, and still no joy. Freezes again 1/8 of the way. iTunes is up to date also. I am lost and dread going back to the Apple Store, as I will look like an idiot. No doubt they will connect it to a mac like last time and it will restore, and hopefully that will allow me to add music without issues. But that still leaves me with an issue on my laptop (Windows 7) and future dreaded updates.
    Very frustrated and need help resolving it the restore issue on my PC.

    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."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • IPod Touch is frozen after firmware upgrade

    Hi, I have a 2nd gen iPod Touch, running firmware 2.2 with Windows XP.
    Yesterday I upgraded the firmware to 3.1 from the iTunes store. After downloading the installing the firmware, I got the itunes error 1601 and now, the iPod is perpetually frozen with this screen:
    http://km.support.apple.com/library/APPLE/APPLECAREALLGEOS/HT1808/HT180803.png
    The iPod device is not detected in iTunes anymore. Also, the 'Found New Hardware Wizard keeps popping up and then it tries to search for the driver but cannot locate it, whenever it tries to search it comes back saying "The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot locate the necessary software". I checked the Device Manager and it is not listed under one of the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" either.
    I have tried the restarting Windows and using a different USB port, but to no avail. Attempts to restore the iPod also leads to iTunes error 1604.
    Would appreciate any help! Thank you!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    make sure your security software is not blocking the USB connection to your ipod, see this article for more info: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125

  • Ipod touch now frozen after trying to upgrade from 1st gen to 3.1.1

    I've got a 1st gen ipod touch and bought the upgrade software from i-tunes to upgrade it to 3.1.1 so I can add apps to my ipod touch. It started off well but then just froze!! My ipod touch has the apple logo and a progress bar which is partly completed. I left it for ages and nothing progress and when I checked Itunes it said it was no longer responding. I shut itunes down and tried to restart it but it just keeps saying its not responding. Any idea on what I can do to get my Ipod touch back to 1st gen or to complete the upgrade to 3.1.1?

    - Try resetting the iPod;
    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.
    - Next connect to computer and try to restore via iTunes- Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - If you can't turn the iPod off (e.g., logo, spinning wheel) always shows, let the battery fully drain.  After charging for an hour try the above again.

  • Nike + app missing on iPod touch (2nd gen) after restore

    Memory errors prompted a wipe and restore of my 32GB iPod touch (2nd gen) system. The restore and subsequent reapplication of the 3.x upgrade produced a system without Nike+ software.
    I've had considerable issues with the reliability and accuracy of the software in the past, but now it simply isn't there.
    Has anyone else seen this and does anyone know how to restore that application? (Since it is not available in the app store.)
    Thx

    Well, i have the same problem, but when i go to settings the nike app it just doesn't appear, so, i'm not able to turn it on. Is there any other way to download the nike app?

  • Is there a way to recover photos on a ipod touch 5th gen after restoring it.

    Last week i changed the password of my ipod touch 5th gen and I couldnt get back in so I put my ipod touch on recovery mode and now ive lost all of my 3000 photos. Is there any way to recover them? Everything else is recovered.

    Photos
    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:
    Recover iPhone, iPad or iPod photos from backups with Picturescue
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

    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.
