ITunes 7.1.1.5 will not restore iPod

My iPod Photo stopped playing, and when I tried to restored it with iTunes, I got the message "iPod cannot be restored because it contains files in use by another application". What files? What application? How can I get around this error?
iPod Photo   Windows XP Pro  

Hi Kimberly,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue restoring your iPhone and it's stuck in recovery mode. Do you see an alert message when the restore completes or fails? The article linked below provides general tips that should help and links to another article with more advanced troubleshooting suggestions.

  • Help Itunes 10.2.2.12 will not restore

    I upgraded Itouch to 4.3 software. Then it crashed. Got stuck in USB mode. I upgraded I tunes to 10.2.2.12. Still it will not restore or recover.
    I have deleted Itunes and all apple things 4 times now.. still get the error.1604 when ever I try to recover.
    New updates have now screwed my itouch to the point where it cost me 2 customers today.. Im not happy at all about this thing.

    Well, I found out how to recover SOME of my I touch data.
    I recently made a backup of my HD, including all the files in My Documents folder. It contained a I tunes library that was made with I tunes 10.2.1. 
    I found a website that had the older versions of I tunes, and I downloaded 10.2.1 and it was able to access the library, which made my Itouch go back to about 2 weeks ago. Unfortinatly doing this, I also lost all of my data in the note application and all my game data, from playing various games including angry birds.
    Today I am going to try to back everything up, and upgrade I tunes first to the new 10.2.2.12, then upgrade my Itouch.. if it crashes again, I will still have a recent backup that I will be able to re-install.

  • My iPad 2 will not restore using iTunes. It keeps telling me - the iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknow error occurred (4) - I have tried every suggestion I could find so far. Any ideas as to what I can do?

    My iPad 2 will not restore using iTunes. It just quit a week or two ago and showed that I had to connect to iTunes.
    When I do the "restore and update" it does not complete the "verifying iPad restore with Apple" and then shows the following message:
    The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (40).
    I have tried it a number of times. Also turned of anti-virus and firewall. Tried on different computers. All resulted in the same message. The iPad is only 2 1/2 years old, so I hope it can be fixed.
    Does anyone have a solution?

  • Itunes will not restore my 2nd gerneration ipod shuffle giving error1418

    Itunes will not restore my 2nd generation ipod shuffle. I am getting an error 1418. I am running Windows Vista so none of the fixes that I have seen seem to work for me. Is there anything else that I can try or am I ipodless until Wednesday or Thusday when the new I pod arrives? And I thought Sleepless in Seattle was bad. Shuffleless in Seattle is much worse.

  • My Ipod 4th Gen will not turn on. When I hook it up to the computer I get the ITunes symbol and the usb device on the screen of the Ipod. When I go to restore the Ipod it will not restore. I am getting unknown error code 6.

    My Ipod 4th Gen will not turn on. When I hook it up to the computer I get the ITunes symbol and the usb device on the screen of the Ipod. When I go to restore the Ipod it will not restore. I am getting unknown error code 6.

    Likely this:
    Errors related to third-party security software
    Error 2, 4 (or -4), 6, 40, 1000, 9006
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    Restore using a different computer.

  • Will not restore or show up in iTunes?!

    Have recently upgraded iPhone 3 software to most recent and has backed up fine, but will not restore. The screen says connect to iTunes but will not be picked up on itunes at all, and will not show on my computer either ?!?!

    Have tried all of that, it comes up with No programme supports apple iphone in recovery mode, insert disc e.c.t and then does not show up anywhere else on the computer. After updating it, it said there was an error restoring the iPhone, which may be the reason why it isnt being picked up properly.
    What are the exact messages that you are seeing?

    Ok. You don't have to select your number. Just check your email under your "grey" number and then at the bottom of this page you will see the option "Start new conversations from". Select your number.

  • Hi, my iphone 5 will not restore through iTunes.  Error codes 2001 and 2006 appear.  Please help.

    Hi,
    My iPhone5 will not restore through iTunes.  Error code 2001 appears and once I received error code 2006.  Please help?

    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.
