ITunes update and restore isn't working

I updated my ipod and after that it asked me to connect to itunes. So i did and it said it needed to be restored so i clicked on that. But then it said there was an error and i tried over and over but it still never worked i even read the http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275?veiwlocale=en_US  page and tried those a bunch of times but it still never worked. Can anybody help me?

So you tried this:
Error 1611
This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • HT4623 after an update my iPhone 4 has frozen with just the apple screen visible.  I have tried connecting to iTunes but now iTunes isn't locating my iPhone.  I have tried reseting the phone several times and that isn't working.  Any ideas?

    Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes.

  • How do I use icloud to restore my documents that were in Pages? Pages got stuck in "waiting" to update and when nothing else worked I deleted it and reloaded Pages. I don't want to restore everything just my Pages documents.

    How do I use icloud to restore my documents that were in Pages? Pages got stuck in "waiting" to update and when nothing else worked I deleted it and reloaded Pages. Everything I can find is about wiping everything out and restoring everything. I don't want to restore everything just my Pages documents (and numbers and keynote that also locked up during updating).

    What I meant is turn off Documents and Data in iCloud in OS X. Keep it on on your iOS devices. iCloud will sync documents between the iOS devices and make them available on the iCloud web site, but it won't mess up iWorks' open and save dialog boxes. It also won't assume that you want all your documents in iCloud, which I think is undesirable anyway.
    Keep iOS and OS X separate, and use the web site to move files between the two as necessary.
    iOS iWork is different from OS X iWork. There are fewer fonts on an iOS device. iOS iWork programs have slightly different feature sets than OS X iWork programs, and the file formats are different. iCloud automatically converts the file format when necessary, but if you make a habit of saving things directly to iCloud, you are limited to the lowest common denominator between the two versions of iWorks. So why would anyone want iWork on the Mac to open and save documents on iCloud by default?
    If you want to store files in the cloud and sync them on your Macs, SugarSync is a much better solution. It lets you choose your sync folders, it doesn't make you reorganize your files, it lets you sync all file types, it doesn't convert files to a different format and back, and it stores everything in the cloud, too. Just the simle act of saving a file backs it up and syncs it. I wouldn't live without it. iCloud is best with iTunes purchases and synchronizing Mac settings and iOS files; I woudln't live without it. The two make an unbeatable combination.

  • I pod disabled  and cant remember passcode. cannot use itunes as it wants update and restore  need to use passcode and the hold sleep/wake key and home key doesnt put it in DFU either . any help ?

    My ipod has been disabled as I cant remember the passcode . When doing a restore on I Tunes it will only update and restore , the update doesnt work as the phone is locked and I need a passcode. I have tried the other way which is to hold the sleep/wake key and home key together  for 10 seconds but as soon as you plug it inot the pc the ipod boots up so this method doesnt work either . Very close to usin it as a brick , any suggestions ?? Thank you

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    Dry another cable
    Next try on another computer.

  • My "Check for updates" and "Restore" buttons greyed out in iTunes.

    Hy this is a screenshot of my problem. Please help me out. Thank you.

    On my G4 iBook I was having issues, first with a first gen shuffle, greyed out update and restore, no info on serial number and such. Shuffle was blinking orange and red, took to Genuis bar tried the shuffle reset application, hosed. My 3rd Gen iPod and brand new Video iPod (just got today) also greyed out.
    Shuffle reset was giving numerous error messages, trashed and reinstalled iTunes and all plists, no good.
    Tried shuffle on old eMac running older iTunes, worked fine!!
    Tried brand new Video iPod on old eMac and older iTunes, worked fine.
    Archived and installed Tiger on iBook and voila, Video pod is good to go, haven't tried old shuffle on this yet but, bottom line, reinstall OS did the trick (or so it would appear for now).

  • Not able to sign into Blackberry Protect. Backup and Restore function not working. "Your device isn't associated with a Blackberry ID"

    Not able to sign into Blackberry Protect.  Backup and Restore function not working. Message is: "Your device isn't associated with a Blackberry ID."  My Blackberry Messenger and Blackberry World is working fine so I am sure its not an ID issue on the phone.  I can sign into Link, Blackberry.com and Protect.  I see my device in Protect but cannot send messages or view it on a map.  Times out with cannot reach device message.  BB Protect on Device has a swirling circle beside the on/of switch.  Cannot turn off.  
    I have deleted Link and re-installed.
    I have reset phone to default(factory) and signed in. 
    OS level is 10.2.1.3062
    BB Link is 1.2.3.56
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I managed to figure this out myself. I had to delete the device from the Blackberry Protect website.  protect.blackberry.com.  I wiped my device again and signed in with my Blackberry ID.  I dont know if the step of wiping was necessary as I did not try my backup with the current configuration on the device following the delete.  Restore is in progress for me!

    I recently updated and restored my Iphone on a Mac. My music was erased, therefore, I am trying to sync all of the music from my computer into the iPhone, but it says that I need to use the original computer/itunes in order to sync, but it is the same computer and iTunes account. The error reads: The iPhone, "Name" is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and a sync with this iTunes library?

  • TS4242 since updating and restoring my iphone 3gs it no longer can find my sim itunes cant activate it because no sim inserted can anyone help

    since updating and restoring my iphone 3gs it no longer can find my sim itunes cant activate it because no sim inserted can anyone help

    That usually means the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock the phone and when you update the phone it locked back up again.
    Only way to resolve this issue, is to find out who the orignal carrier was and have them unlock it.  If you bought this from a 3rd party contact the seller and have him/her unlock it for you by contacting the phone carrier.
