IPod Touch update to 3.0 firmware not working !!!

So I connected my iTouch to iTunes, I clicked the option ''update to 3.0 software''...I download it and things seem to be stuck now...I can see on iTunes the message ''updating iPod software'' and it's been there for an hour already...on the iPod screen there's a grey bar wich showed the progress...it's full, but it also keeps staying there...nothing is moving on...everything is just blocked at the final stage !!! What the heck is going on ???

Hi Eli,
Can you download anything else from the iTunes Store? Try downloading something else, like a Free Single of the Week or free app.
If you can't download anything from the iTunes store, try reconfiguring or temporarily disabling the security software on your PC.
If you can download other items from the iTunes Store, try deleting the iPod software updates "~/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates (The tilde "~" represents your Home directory.)" as suggested here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
Also, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. You can download it here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

  • HT1212 my ipod touch disabled and my p.c not working what do i do

    my ipod touch disabled and my p.c not working what do i do

    Thgen the iPod needs a wifi connection to the internet and yo need another iPod, iPhone or iPad with the FindMyiPhone app. you can also yse any computer too
    Only if:
    If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
    Via USB with any computer with iTunes and an internet connection
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Ipod touch 4g- no music, and apps not working after iOS5 update

    Hi, I just updated to IOS 5 on my Ipod touch 4G, and ever since then the music library (in the Ipod) is cleared out, and none of the apps work. It's like it didn't finish updating and transferring back the data to the Ipod. When I go to plug in the Ipod to my macbook, and bring up Itunes, the Itunes program freezes every single time, not allowing me to fix the problem. My Ipod will show up in the side bar of Itunes, with the circular arrows going for a little bit, then the arrows stop in the middle of the process... I go to click on anything in Itunes and immediately get the spinny flywheel on my screen, meaning itunes freezes, and I have to force quit the program everytime. I've tried rebooting my computer a few times, as well as restarting my Ipod, but nothing is working. The internet works on my Ipod, but anything music/app related is 'empty.'  I couldn't find anyone else on the net w the same problem, so I might have something unique~

    I would try restoring the iPod from backup.  If necessary, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode:

  • HT4623 I tried to update my ipod touch through itunes and it did not work.

    Now my ipod is in recovery mode and it wont recover after attempting to update to the new update!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - Try on another computer                 
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod touch connected to wifi but will not work

    Hey guys, my wifi connect has gone a bit strange, i can connect to my router but none of the internet based apps will work, cannt connect to Safari or Apps store. Iv tried everything iv even restored to factory settings and lost all my data in the process. My router works fine with fellow ipods and laptops, it just isnt connecting to mine! Any Help Please im pulling my hair out!

    Despite the WiFi connection sign you may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address when the iPod requested it. To check on this go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix for this can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • Anyone else having volume icon on ipod touch 4gen just popping up and not working properly after upgrading to ios 6.1?

    Hi, has anyone experienced issues with there volume control icon randomly popping up after upgrading to ios 6.1 from 6.0 .
    I have a 4th gen ipod touch which  until upgrading to 6.1 from 6.0 was working perfectly.
    Minutes after the upgrade I noticed the volume icon just popping up for no reason. I can turn the volume up now, but not down and it randomly appears on screen without anyone touching it. Weird!  Can someone shed some light on this issue,I have reset and reloaded to factory several times now to no avail.
    thanks!

    I am having this same issue on my iPhone 4. The most recent update to iOS 6.1 didn't fix it either. Has anyone found a fix for this problem? It doesn't happen often, maybe every third day or so but requires power off, power on to bring the sound back. 

  • Resetting a disabled iPod Touch 5th generation through recovery mode not working.

    I bought a disabled iPod Touch 5th generation at a garage sale. I looked up how to reset it and followed every step given and it was working. It said there were about 82 minutes and it was restoring for about until 70 minutes and then a pop-up comes up saying it can't restore it because it has a password on it! Please help me.

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer

  • IPod Touch 5th gen - GPS Very Vague / Not Working Well at All

    I've been trying to use the NavFree GPS app on my new iPod touch 5th generation. 
    All I can say is that it sort-of works - in so much as it displays the vague vicinity I'm in within a few streets, however most of the time it just seems to be constantly hunting around for a location and is useless in the car for actual real-time directions - which seem to be randomly thrown out every now and then.
    I've tried locating it in numerous places on the windscreen and on the dashboard but it hasn't made any difference whatsoever.  Also when using it out in the open in walking mode, it will locate me for a moment then will wander off again and will start to show me standing in numerous different streets and places nearby.
    I'm very disappointed at the moment because I purchased the full version with all the extras thinking that I've solved my sat-nav needs, but it's unusable as it is.
    Can anyone help me with fixing this?
    Cheers.

    The iPod touch does not have a GPS radio. For location it relies upon the locations of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple database of routers and their locations. Thus, this app/the iPod alone without a real GPS accessory, works very poorly in a car since it really can't see may wifi routers and without a internet connection, can't access the Apple database to try to locate new routers that it finds.

  • IPod Touch (latest generation) internal sound malfunctioning/not working

    Defective sound on my new (received June 23, 2011) iPod touch 64GB.  The iPod Touch will play when an external speaker or earbuds are attached; however, the sound cannot be heard when the external speakers/earbuds are not attached.  When the iPod is not attached to any external speakers or earbuds, at infrequent times a very faint, static-filled sound can be heard, but it fades out to nothing. 
    This is the latest generation of the iPod touch. I have not had it for one month yet!  What gives???  I also have an iPhone 4 and iPad2.... I'm having no problems with them (so far).

    Try to set it up "as new device" without using the latest backup and only the default apps installed. If still no sound after that, visit your next Apple Store or contact Apple to get it serviced.

  • Linking Keynote on iPod-Touch with Keynote on MacBookPro does not work.

    I purchased Keynote 5.0.5(942) for my MacBookPro (MacOS 10.6.7), and
    KeynoteRemote 1.2 (53) for my iPod-Touch 4th generation.
    I am trying to link KeynoteRemote on the iPodTouch with Keynote on MacBook Pro.
    KeynoteRemote gives me a Passcode, which I enter in the preferences panel on Keynote for MacBookPro.
    Verification does not work. Nothing happens, and after sometime an error message appears that
    verification has failed.
    I have tried to do all combinations of setting the firewall on or off, and checked out all linkage and network settings.
    Does anybody know what the tricks are to get KeynoteRemote to work with Keynote on MacBookPro?
    Or does KeynotePro not work at all?

    thanks, David. it works now. I think the problem was the firewall. I fixed it now.

  • My Ipod Touch Shake & Steering Functions (motions) are not working

    I have had my ipod touch 32gb for 3 months now and in the last 48 hours, my shake function & steering function in apps & song shuffle and pretty much any motion function has stopped working. I am not getting any error messages either. I have turned off the ipod touch and turned off on these functions and nothing changes.
    Can anyone help me ?
    Thanks.

    Do a restore through iTunes. Skip the restore as new option and restore from the last backup point. This should fix it but if it persists, it could be a hardware problem which will require Apple's attention.

  • My iPod Touch 4G Lock/Sleep Button Will Not Work

    I recently had an incident with my iPod Touch 4G where the screen was shattered to the point of no use. I sent my iPod Touch off to a Non Apple repair place (good example of why you should NEVER do this) due to me not having enough money to get apple to fix it and there not being a warranty on my device. When I got it back everything is working except for the lock/Sleep button.  I asked about it and the person I had repair it said that he could not find what was wrong with it.  Is there any way that I can fix this without paying a large price or am I never going to be able to get this fixed?  I cant turn it on without plugging it in, lock it, or unlock it and it is really annoying and I am thinking about just getting rid of it if I can't get it fixed.
    "Note: I have tried a full restore 2 times and it did not fix the issue. I also had the person check all the ribbon cables and they are all fine and correctly attached."

    Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you most likely have a hardware issue.
