Ipod wont restore (after upgrade 5.1.1-6)

I just received the notification that there is a new iOS upgrade (5.1.1 to 6). I said "Sweet, let's do it!" Upon trying to install the new version, my iTunes spat out an error message (I'm sorry, I don't remember which.) I said "No biggie, I'll just restore." I cannot. I have tried several times, to no avail. I have tried putting it in Recovery and DFU mode, and keep getting either 1604, 1601, or now 2002 errors. I have read through the help section, and hae tried everything, including restarting and shutting of antivirus.
Anyone have any ideas?

Could be a computer issue. You might try it on another one.

    my ipod wont restore says an error occured (1)?

    Hi missnaughty06,
    Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    It seems like your iPod can't be restored due to an "error 1" message, and you've found the article regarding resolving issues between iTunes and security software.
    Be sure to follow the steps in that article to make sure that iTunes can communicate with your iPod. If you continue to see the error message, this article on restore errors suggests contacting Apple Support at this point:
    Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
    These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
    Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    From:

    All the best,

  • My ipod wont restore screen jus black

    my ipod wont restore always different error everytime screen is jus blank

    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.

  • My iPod was restored after being disabled.  I am trying to sign into iCloud to load my back-up on the iPod.  I can't sign in because the sign-in always times out.  Why is this?

    If you do not have access to the primary email of the Apple ID then the only other option to reset the Apple ID password is by the security questions.
    - go to https://appleid.apple.com
    - select Reset your password
    - enter the Apple ID email and press next

  • My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

    My 3gs wont restore after ios 5 update. I have tried firmware restore and restore from backup, neither works. All I get is "iphone restore failed because backup session failed" Any ideas on how to make a successful restore with this ios 5 update?

    I was having the same problem, I backed up my phone and then updated to iOS 5 and then it kept telling me it could not restore from my backup as it had failed.  After reading a bunch of forums and posts and trying everything, I did manage to get it to work.  I had tried the Time zone, creating a new computer user account, disabling anti-virus, etc.
    It took a combination of things, one of which was disabling the anti-virus completely and copying the contents of the backup folder to my desktop and then deleting everything in the backup folder.  Then I rebooted the PC, entirely disabled the anti-virus, copied the one backup I wanted to restore from the desktop to the backup folder and then trying to restore.  Low and behold the phone said restoring from backup and I am back in business, so when in doubt, trying combining some of the fixes together.

  • 5th Gen IPOD 60gig Lockups after upgrade to 1.2

    I own 2 60gig IPODs and two XP computers
    Successfully updated to Itunes 7 but after upgrading the
    IPOD to 1.2 the IPOD started locking up. On the main menu it would lockup. I tried all suggestions on this forum
    and using my wifes XP, I was able to restore the IPOD back to 1.1.1 (This required resetting twice while using the old update function.)
    After ITUNE 7.02 came out I tried again with the same result
    This time with both 5th gen IPODs on Both XP machines with the same result. Both IPODS would lock up after upgrading to Version 1.2
    Now the Libraries are not backward compatible with ITUNEs 6
    so I uninstalled ITUNES 7 and reinstalled ITUNES 6 using the CD that came with the IPODS and successfully restored
    the IPODS back to version 1.1.1. Then upgraded both XP
    machines to Itunes 7.02 and warned my wife and my dog and myself to never follow the option of upgrading the IPOD
    when asked by ITUNES...
    Does anyone have any ideas as to
    1) When if ever will I be able to successfully upgrade to 1.2 and use the games and watch the TV show I purchased
    on my IPOD ?
    2) Has anyone using XP with USB 2.0 successfully upgraded.
    to version 1.2 Am I the only one having this Problem?
    3) Would it be possible to go to the APPLE store and Ask them to Format and UPGRADE the IPODS to version 1.2?
    4) Would it be possible for someone from Apple to respond
    to this issue on this Forum?

    Applied Firmware Update 1.2.1 and it worked...
    Thank you Apple for finally fixing a major problem
    without ever acknowledging you had it...
    or even indicating what you update fixed when you distibuted
    it...
    I think apple needs some lessons how to provide support...
    without irritating its customer base...
    All you have to do is communicate...
    Respond with a message like "Known Problem" working on fix.
    would do wonders... And having an apple employee update
    the Discussions with an indication that you acknowledge
    your user community is having a serious problem and thank them for continueing to wait for a fix..

  • Ipod wont restore or go into disc mode

    My ipod wont turn on properly. when i try it displays the apple icon for a few seconds and then the folder/exclamation mark icon before turning itself off. I tried restoring the software but i get an error message saying 'can't mount ipod'. It wont go into disc mode either, i just get the apple icon. I think it needs professional help and i know it hasnt been a year since i bought it and it should still be under warranty but i cant find my receipt. any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks

    I just updated itunes with my ipod connected.  When the update finished my computer didn't recognize the ipod and then itunes thought there were 2 ipods connected to my computer.  After I disconnected the iPod I tried to turn it on where I get the big red X and what sounds like hard drive crunching.  I've tried started in disc mode, but it won't.
    And smacking the iPod on the table, is that really the way to get it to work???

  • Ipod not connecting after upgrade to itunes 8

    After upgrading to itunes 8 my ipod (nano) will no longer connect to my computer and is not recognised by itunes. When I connect the ipod I get the windows 'install new hardware wizard' running but however I try to work through this I get nowhere. Looking at Device Manager in Windows says there are no drivers for the ipod - it has a little exclamation mark next to it.
    My wifes brand new ipod will also not connect and its straight out of the box.
    Not at all sure what to do next. The support pages don't seem to cover getting the install new hardware wizard. Any help or advice please!.

    Having reported this to my dealer, and them agreeing to supply a new lead to try, I had one final attempt at resetting the iPod.
    Having restored, reset and updated the iPod half a dozen times before without success, a reset as described here:
    http://www.apple.com/uk/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    worked and it is now merrily playing again in the car with the original lead.
    It would seem that Apple have developed another piece of spectacularly temperamental equipment........and people slate Microsoft!
    Hope it works for you as well!
