Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602

Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.

After I updated my 2 Iphones and one Itopuch the bluetooth on one of the phones and the Itouch will not stay on. When you go to the general settings to turn it on it shows on but the icon disapears when you go to home scree or leave general seetings.

After I updated my two Iphone 4's and my Itouch bluetooth problem occurred on two of the three devices. One of the phones and the itouch will not keep the bluetooth on. When you go to the general settings to turn it on it show on and the icon pops up but as soon as you leave the general settings the icon disappears and will not show up in the home screen. It will not pair with any devices. It will search for and find them but won't pair because the icon will not show up meaning it is off. What can i do to fix this problem that I believe was caused by the update.

Sounds like we have a similar problem. Four days ago I was playing music through a wireless Bose speaker via bluetooth and everything was fine. Then I was texting while listening and got 2 texts about the same time as I was typing one and my phone went black. I pushed the home button and it worked, went into my texts and all were there. However ever since then the time isn't right, so it can't keep time no matter what I do. The bluetooth works only at times, the wifi keeps jumping on and off, sometimes my data won't work and the other day I couldn't even turn it off, so had to wait until it died. The battery life display at that moment wasn't correct either. Took to Verizon, they couldn't help. Suggested a factory reset, which I did last night and still the same issues! One day I couldn't even text my husband on his iPhone. Just wouldn't work at all. Did everything suggest and still not good. Seems like after stalking these pages today a lot of people are having this problem in Dec/Jan and of course also I'm 3 weeks out of my 1 year warranty and so were many others, by days. Very strange, and all on the 5C. What did you do? Is it working now?

My itouch will not let me download apps or music, it says something about credit, but the app im trying to download is free?

Touch will not reset

My 2nd Gen touch will not reset. I hold down the HOME and SLEEP/WAKE buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. All of my music and video is still on it. Any ideas? Thanks.

Could you be more specific? You wanna restore your ipod touch or reset it?
If you wanna reset it, that is it.
If you wanna restore it, connect iPod touch. When it appears in the Source list, click on Restore in the Summary

You'll need to connect the device to his iTunes library in recovery mode and restore it to factory settings. See this article for instructions on getting the device into recovery mode.

My 4s is locked on the icloud back up screen and will not reset by holding down power button.

My 4s is locked on the iCloud back up screen. It will not reset by holding down the power button. Please help!

Restart iPhone: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

Ipad 2 locked up when updating iOS 8.1.3 today and will not reset or even turn off

went to update iPad 2 from iOS 8.1.2 to 8.1.3 and it froze while updating. Then error it could not update because of problem. But it is locked on screen with cord to iTunes and will not reset or turn off. Can't get to screen to do reset in iTunes or anything. help

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
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 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. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen 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."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

ITouch will not shuffle songs

My itouch will not shuffle any albums or playlists but rather repeats the first song played endlessly. Even when I select an album, the itouch will play the first song over and over.
I did a restore when this happened before (about 2-3 weeks ago), and the shuffle option worked again, but this time, the restore did not fix the problem with the shuffle option or with the songs playing moving to the next selection.
I have the latest ipod software.
Perhaps there is an ipod setting that I do not know about.
Help will be much appreciated!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Make sure you haven't got repeat set. Tap the repeat button on the left hand side under the time elapsed until it's either blue for repeat playlist or white for no repeat. If it's blue with a 1 it'll just repeat the same song.

My ipod will not reset after several attempts

I recently bought a new Iphone and have successfully transferred my apps/data from my Ipod Touch (4th generation). I am now trying to "erase all content and Settings" via the settings button. All I get when the screen goes black is the apple logo. NO progress bar whatsoever. I have tried this several times even leaving the device (plugged into a power source) on all night long and still nothing. It simply will not reset. Is there something else I need to do? I have deleted all apps and anything else from the Ipod in hopes that would work but still nothing. It just locks up in the reset mode. Then when I restore it to stop the process most of the deleted apps come back. HELP!!
P.S. There is no Apple store nearby to help me with this so I'm hoping this forum will.

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.
