Ipod touch wont restore after getting new itunes

I just downloaded itunes to the newest version. Then I backed up my ipod so that I could update the software. Now the ipod is blank and it wont restore. Ive tried different USB ports, restarting the computer, everything and nothing has worked.

Has anyone else had trouble with music purchased with wifi replacing their music on their ipod touch?

This sounds like your problem:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.

Transfer the iTunes folder from your old computer to your new computer. It's in your My Music >> iTunes folder. You'll probably need an external hard drive to do this. Make sure you upgrade the old and the new computers to the latest iTunes before transferring your music to the new machines.

You have to put the iPod touch into the recovery mode.

TS3694 iPod Touch wont restore

My ipod touch wont restore. When i connect it to the computer it says the ipod is in recovery mode so i proceed to recover the ipod than a error message comes up saying the iPod cannot be restored (1). Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

ERROR (1)
I have not seen a solution for that error but try:
- Place the iPod in DFU mode and then restore

BRAND NEW IPOD TOUCH WONT APPEAR IN WINDOWS OR ITUNES

I just bought a brand new 8gb ipod touch and when i plug it into my computer the it lights up and beeps but nothing comes up on itunes or my computer. I have a working ipod video that syncs and is recognized by my computer everytime (even with the usb that came with my touch). I have tried uninstalling and installing itunes and that did nothing. I have had no computer problems to date and that included problems with my usb port. I dont know what else to do. It won't appear in my computer ANYWHERE!!

the usb connections work fine with my other ipod and camera. The computer makes a noise when i plug my new ipod in so i know that its not the usb cable or the port.
I have restored my ipod and when i go to put it into recovery mode it give me and error message (#1611) and wont let me continue.
when i called apple they said that, that error means its a hardware issue but I exchanged my ipod yesterday and i am having the EXACT same problem so its not a hardware issue. The apple associate then told me to disable all my antivirus software because it could be somehow blocking the apple mobile device thing but nothing is working still and i am back at sqaure one.
Please if you have any more suggestions. I am sure that there is just some setting somewhere on my computer that is off. is there a windows firewall setting i should be disabling?

Hey i HAVE/HAD the same problem but right in THIS moment i solved it! And i'm gonna tell you how:
1) You have to uninstall ALL the programs that are from Apple.
2) Go into control panel if you are on a windows and delete everything that says Author (Apple inc.)
3) Here is a list of every thing you have to Uninstall:
Apple application support
Apple mobile device support
Apple software update
Bonjour
iTunes
Quicktime player
Safari
4) After that just go to Apple.com and download the lastest version of iTunes!

Wet ipod touch wont hook up to my itunes account

wet ipod touch is now dry, it wont take a charge and tell me to hook up to my itunes account but the computer is not reconizing it

- You need to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and start anew. Is the restore button visable in iTunes? If it is they restore the iPod.
- If it is not visible try resetting the iPod:
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.
- If the restore button is still not visable, try placing the iPod in recovry mode. See:

My 4th Generation Ipod Touch wont restore.

My Ipod starts to restore and it and then it says there is an error. I have done this numerous times and it keeps doing the same thing. Before it started doing this, it wouldn't even connect to my computer so I had to download Itunes on another laptop. Now it is doing this. This is my second iPod touch that I have had trouble with. If this does not get fixed I will never buy anything in the Apple brand again. I should not have to deal with this.

Why are you telling us? Perhaps you should call Apple. 800-275-2273 in the U.S.A. and I think Canada.

IOS 5 Ipod touch wont restore!!

I am trying to upgrade my ipod touch 4th gen (8GB) to IOS 5. Performed a sync first, with backup and then ran the update. All went well until the restore stage which failed with error messages "The ipod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred(1611)". I followed the instructions to restore the device , same error message. Tried resetting both the ipod and my PC, performed a restore but again same error message! Please help as my ipod is a total brick at the minute!

If you are reciving error 1 i think it is then your device is stuck in a recovery loop.
Download firmware umbrella and connect your device to the computer with the program running, you should see a button saying kick out of recovery. After this process try the restore agian.
Also if you have previously used firmware umbrella in the advanced tab make sure the option to update you host files is disabled and click apply as this can lead iTunes to thinking you are trying to jailbreak you device when you are infact not.
If you have any question please ask

My ipod touch wont restore and its stuck in recovery mode

I have an Ipod touch 2g mc model and it started having problems. it crashed often when playing games (i even restart it after installs), it restarted when i went on to the internet and got SUPER slow, so tried restoring it. it got to the point where it said "Preparing the ipod for Restore" and then it said "unkown error occurred(1603). and its been stuck in recovery mode for a long time now and i cant get it out no matter what i do. How do i leave recovery mode a different way? please respond.
p.s. ive had multiple errors but my most recent one has been 1603. and now it keeps saying 1603.

My Dad just fixed my problem! He used blackra1n. at first it dint work but then he saved it to documents and then put it into the Local Disk thingy, then he clicked on it, clicked the Make It Rain button, and it took like 20-30 minutes or maybe less while it was saying Running. Then finally my ipod turned back on! it didnt lose anything! like, Nothing at all was lost. so yah, that was pretty cool.

Help! iPod Touch deleted songs after connecting to iTunes but songs still show up in iTunes display

I connected my iPod Touch 64GB (iOS 5.1.1.) to iTunes (12.0.5.00) on my MacBook Pro (10.10.2) in order to add a couple of podcasts. Unfortunately, now only the podcasts show up on my iPod display -- they're the only audio media on the device. My 6500 songs, all my playlists are gone from the iPod (and iPod display) as well. However, on the iTunes display on my computer, when my iPod is connected, all my songs and playlists are there.
Hoping I can get some help figuring out what went wrong and how to get the songs back on my iPod so I don't have to manually add them all from a backup external hard drive (I don't keep them all in iTunes nor all the backup files on my computer's hard drive to save space).
You can see in the photo below on the left side of the display, 'On My Device', all my playlists remain. On the main display, all my music is there -- it's just not on the actual iPod itself. You can also see at the bottom of the screen, the iPod capacity bar, which shows that 56.80 GB is free, suggesting the songs are in fact, deleted from the iPod.
Can anyone assist? Any thoughts as to why the songs & playlists still show up in iTunes if they are in reality deleted from the iPod?
Thank you for any info or assistance, it's very much appreciated.
Derek

And I've now tried connecting the iPod to an older Macbook running iTunes 12.0.0.140 and I'm getting the same thing -- the songs and media shows up under 'Devices' on the left, but they are not actually there. Trying to double click on them brings up the symbol. Wondering how the 'ghost' effect of them showing up in iTunes can happen if they are no longer on the iPod itself.
Thanks again for any thoughts, suggestions, or assistance.
