Itunes 7 and ipod will not talk. No WAY TO RESTORE FACTORY SETTINGS!
Hi,
update to itunes 7, plugged in my ipod and got the message "itunes cannon read the contents of the ipod "IPOD" Go to the Summary tab in ipod prefrences and click Restore to restore the ipod to factory settings".
But there is no ipod prefrences tab in itunes becuase itunes can't read the contents of the ipod! A reset through the ipod did no good!
I am now stuck with a ipod that can not talk to itunes! How can I reset my ipod to factory defaults if itunes does not see it? And no, the old updater does not work, it says you must update through itunes 7.
How do I fix this ?
This is all interesting and much of it consistent with problems I'm having across of the iPODs we have within our household since migrating to iTunes Release 7! Both our past generation and current iPOD can no longer be synched with iTunes. I seriously hope Apple addresses this issue soon! I've tried numerous approaches. I can't get my wife and daughter's iPOD minis to synch at all! My generation 3 I am able to force it to update by unstalling and reinstalling the driver in Windows. Then by uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. It will then load the music from iTunes on to my iPOD. iTunes will indicate the update is complete but the iPOD will not indicate the update is complete. Appreciate any thoughts or ideas that others may discover to resolve. I'm currently convinced this is an issue with iTunes Release 7 though as I'm not able to get any of our iPODs to work which includes my gen 3, our minis or nanos.

Hi, I have connected my iPhone 5 to iTunes, backed it up and then started the update but there was a problem, now my phone will not work, it asks to restore factory settings which I have tried 3 times, each time it says the device has an unknown error and the phone switches off. Please help.
Same thing happened with my iPhone 4S - no one is any help. Thanks Apple for such a crappy update! I've called Apple, they say the SIM card needs replacing, I go to my service provider they tell me nothing wrong with the SIM card - provider tells me I now need a new phone. Sheesh! If someone has a solution to this it would be greatly appreciated.

my ipod touch has a usb cable picture with an arrow pointing to the itunes logo. the ipod will not connect to a computer and is unable to be turned off as there is no red power slider when the power button is pressed. what can i do to fix this?
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.

Me compre un ipod classic de 160gb cada vez que trato de ponerle musica de mi disco duro externo solo copia hasta 1500 canciones y luego me congela el Itune y no lo puedo cerrar, me pide que restaure el ipod como de fabrica, lo hago y nada. Trato de cerrar el programa de itune y no me deja, trato de apagar el computador y no lo puedo apagar, he buscado para ver si tiene errores el disco del Ipod y me dice que esta bien. Lo he restaurado como 8 veces y le he puesto musica y videos pero siempre me borra todo. He aplastado Menu y Seleccion para entrar al sistemade diagnostic o del ipod y le pongo el test manual donde entro al IO y me dice q todo esta bien. Le he dado ya varios Format directamente desde el Windows 7 y nada tampoco, siempre me borra todo desde que pasan mas de 1300 canciones y me congeal todo el equipo. Ya no se que pensar de esta compania Apple porque no da ninguna solucion ha este tema.

I have done ALL troubleshooting steps and it still gives me the error...... this only happend since I updated iTunes.
Doublechecking. Have you also worked through the following troubleshooting document?

You'll need to connect the iPod Touch to your iTunes library in recovery mode and restore it factory settings. There is no other way.
Here are instructions for getting your iPod touch into recovery mode.

You need to make sure your billing address is correct whether or not you use an iTunes gift card or not.

My iPad will not charge and every time I charge it. It comes up with the iTunes icon and I will not charge, it is not a new I pad and the same charger I use for the I pad I use for my I phone and it will charge. What is wrong?
What exactlyare you seeing on the iPad's screen ? If it's the iTunes icon and a cable then that means that it's gone into recovery mode - you will need to connect it to your computer's iTunes and you should be able to use that to reset it back to factory defaults and you can then restore/resync your content to it.

is there any way to restore factory settings on an Iphone 5s that will not connect to Itunes because the phone is locked with a pass code. Problem is that the screen is completely shattered.
If the screen is completely shattered why bother to try and restore the phone?
