- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod touch 2G is black screen and won't restore in Itunes (error 21)

    I have aquired an Ipod touch 2g 16g that I was hoping to make a present to my daughter with.  The device is I guess what is called "Black Screen of Death".  I can't get any image to display on the Ipod when trying to charge (which it apparenlty accepts) the item or when trying to connect it to Itunes.  Itunes recongizes the item in recovery mode, and attempts to restore the item and consistantly gives the error 21 message.  I am using Windows 7 and have tried to restore the device on a laptop running Win XP with the exact same results.  The screen will turn white during the process, and the machine will from what I have read and believe go into DFU mode, but it stops with error 21.  I am a Noob and have googled and googled for a week now with no luck.  I have tried the reinstallation of Itunes, all the updates to both Itunes and the machine, no security software, the works.  I tried connecting it to older son's laptop running Win 7 which he uses for his Ipod 2g 32 gig without problems.  My device was recognized on his machine, and he said on his Itunes he briefly saw songs on the device he did not have on his machine/device in his library before it hung again in the recovery mode loop.  I have read different articles and tutorials on jailbreaking and tried loading just the 'oem" firmware from apple with Redsnow and thought i was successful.  The device went through the process of white screen, several boots/dings of on my PC, and then an image appeared on the Ipod of "loading Jailbreak data".  After a few moments/minutes it then began what I believe is displaying the "verbose" booting running the lines of text on the screen.  I then notice it to stop and give me an error of something to the affect of init failed, and then a "lan error, watchdog timeout, giving up, a long pause, then quick scrolls down the screen and reboot back to white screen.  Holding the power button or home/power button puts it right back to a black screen and in the Itunes recovery mode loop/error 21 again.  Can anyone please help me resolve this issue before I pull what's left of my hair out.  I would love to get this working for my daughter before her birthday.  Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.

    Common, no one has any ideas?  Well, don't know if this will help, but here's some new data to process.  I noticed that when I was trying to load the firmware with Redsnow w/o installing any options to include Cydia I got errors displayed on the Ipod such as WMR NAND format invalid; NANDLegacyFTL failed.  Someone has got to know something.  I would appreciate any ideas or thoughts from anyone with any idea.  Thanks

  • TS1702 I just updated my ipad2 to ios6.0.1 and now the stand view in maps shows no information.  The maps are there, but are just the outlines with no text or roads.  Help.

    I have just updated my ipad2 to ios6.0.1 and now having problems with the MAPS APP.  The standard view outlines the area, but it is blank, showing no text or roads.  Anyone know how to solve this?

    Have you tried a - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • My iPod Touch 4th Generation keeps crashing and slowing down

         I have an iPod touch 4g 8Gb. I've got it i think 2 years ago. Maybe even 3 I'm not sure. it is running IOS 6.1.6 . I never had problems with IOS 6 like other people said. It was perfectly fine. Until IOS7 came out.(I know it is not capable with iPod Touch 4)  I restored it made sure background app refresh wasn't on and everything you can think of but it didn't seem to help. I have no clue about what the problem is. it has space in it. There are like 3 games Facebook and Skype only. I don't know how I could speed it up. I would highly appreciate it if anyone helped me with this problem. Thank you

         I actually restored and set it up like a brand new iPod 3 months ago and never used it afterward. I feel like Apple made the iPods extremely slower after the IOS7 came out, because it wasn't that slow and crashing before IOS 7 was released. Anyway I assume that there are no solutions for my problem. Thanks.

  • IPod Touch 8Gb 1st Gen Crashes and shuts off when using apps

    When using Safari to browse the web, or using any application other than the music player, my iPod touch crashes and shuts off, often with a loud POP if I have my earbuds in my ears. When attempting to turn it back on, I get the standard Apple bootup logo, but then it crashes again a few seconds later. Sometimes, my ipod displays the battery meter after turning it back on, which indicates that the battery is nearly drained, even if the battery was completely full only minutes later. When using the music player or listening to an audiobook, it seems that my iPod can go all night long without incident, as I have fallen asleep with an audiobook playing, and have woken up the next morning to find it still playing.
    I have performed a hard reset by holding both the power and the home button for 20 seconds or so, and have deleted and reloaded everything on my iPod twice, but I am still having problems. Any advice?

    Mine does the exact same thing, it will not even turn on without being plugged into the computer (not even a charger). I usually have to restore it by manually sending it into restore mode.

  • The computer my ipod touch was synced to crashed and i had to get a new hard drive. When I tried to sync it with the new hard drive, it said that is was registered with a different apple id and i would have to erase everything to sync it. help!!!!!!!!!!!!

    how do i sync it with the compter without deleting all data?

    The first thing you can do is transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPod Touch to your PC.  To do this, choose File -> Transfer Purchases in iTunes.  You should authorize your new PC before doing this by clicking the Store drop down menu and selecting Authorize this Computer. Then enter in your Apple ID/iTunes Store account credentials.
    For all other content that was not purchased from the iTunes store, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different software available to assist you with this task.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
    Finally, right->click on your iPod Touch under the Devices section in iTunes, and choose Backup.  Then after erasing and syncing your iPod, restore from that back up.  Or better yet, copy a backup from your old PC to your new one if at all possible. Here is more information on backing up and restoring your iPod .  Doing so will restore all of your App data.

  • IPod touch 4G randomly deleted music and won't sync?

         So my white iPod touch 4G was plugged up to my computer to charge like always. When I went to listen to my music it said there is "no content, please purchase...". Now the majority of my music is downloaded straight from itunes but there are songs I've downloaded from importing CDs to itunes and then to my iPod. All my songs are still on iTunes, so I try to sync the music back to my iPod and it says that all my music IS currently on the iPod, but when trying to sync from my purchased list (where some songs aren't on my iPod) it won't sync because it says "iPod couldn'y sync because it couldn't be found. I'm horribly confused and I really just wont my music back so please help!

    - Reboot the computer
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try another USB port
    - Try cable
    - Try on another computer to help determine if yo have an iPod or computer problem. Do not sync to the the other coputer, just see if iTunes sees it corretly.

  • IPod touch stuck in a loop and won't charge

    My iPod touch was left overnight with a full battery and was down to 20% in the morning. I've since learned that this is due to my ipod being connected to the wifi all the time.
    However, when I connected my ipod to my laptop to charge it up again, it started looping the same 2 screens repeatedly and just won't charge.
    First it shows the screen illustrating that there's no battery left and the ipod needs to be charged, then the loading screen (the white Apple logo) appears for about a minute before the ipod shuts off again. This loop doesn't end no matter what combination of buttons I press, and disconnecting it from the laptop just shuts it off again. If I try turning it on, it just tells me there's no battery.
    Any thoughts on what I should do with this? Thanks in advance

  • Ipod touch 2nd generation completely black and won't charge

    I have an ipod touch 2nd generation. I had it connected to an aux cord, playing music, and on the charger and then it turned off. The ipod felt hot right by the charger port. The screen is completely black. I tried holding down the sleep and home buttons, charging the ipod for a very long time on my laptop in all the usb ports and in the outlet in the wall. The ipod just stays black. It doesn't say if it's charging and when I plug it into my laptop, it doesn't show up on itunes or my computer. Please help!!!

  • My second gen iPod touch has a blank screen, and won't turn on or charge in an AC outlet. When plugged into iTunes, it is completely recognized and synced, but the screen remains blank and off. What can I do?

    Hello.
    I recently woke up this morning to use my iPod Touch (2nd Gen) to find that it was completely unresponsive to both buttons and would not turn on. I had been using it the night before and had not charged it. Thinking the battery was drained, I plugged it into a wall outlet for two hours, and still no sign of life on the iPod. Plugging it into the computer, it immediately showed up in iTunes and synced normally, and even indicated it had nearly a full charge. Still, however, the screen showed nothing. I checked the lock and home buttons to see if it was stuck, but it was not. Does anyone have an idea of what this is? Do I need to get my iPod repaired? Any help would be appreciated.
    I am running iOS 4.1, and am out of warranty coverage.
    Thanks,
    - Justin

    1; Do a hard rest by holding the buttons at least 15 seconds. Does the Apple logo come on?
    2. Hold the power button down for at least 5 seconds. Do you see the battery symbol?
    If the answer is no to both questions, you most likely have a hardware issue--possible bad battery.

  • Ipod touch stuck in recovery mode and will not restore. error code 3194

    ipod touch stuck in recovery mode, will not restore and comes up with error code 3194, itunes is up to date, please help

    Hi @rchangel - Thanks for the ideas...
    Yes - it won't let you install the 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine.
    I've had a cursory look at the SP1 release notes, and couldn't spot anything vital - what critical stuff do you know of in SP1?
    I don't want to have to go through all the pain of setting up VM's, reinstalling iTunes, getting all my album art back in etc. (though I could, as I do have Win7 pro). I've also heard that running iTunes in Windows 7 compatibility mode might help. Can anyone confirm whether that actually works?
    I think it's in Apple's gift to fix this issue, given that they say that they support Windows 7. So far I've had no feedback from a mail I sent to Apple, and the number of users reporting this problem keeps going up and up.
    I want Apple to recognise that there is a problem, and then I want them to fix it.

  • IPod Touch 3G in DFU Mode and won't come out

    Hello,
    My daughter's iPod Touch 3G appears to be in DFU mode, but won't come out. The screen is completely black, and when I attach it to the computer, it comes up with the message "iTunes had detected as an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." When I hit the restore button, I receive the error message "software for this iPhone is not currently available. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and try again."
    I've seen this message posted several times in the forum, and I have tried all the troubleshooting tips offered by Apple Support and in the answers to some of the questions. I am a Systems Engineer, so I consider myself pretty technically savvy. These are the steps I have followed so far:
    1) Completey removed and reinstalled iTunes according to the instructions provided by Apple.
    2) Downloaded the firmware for both the 3G and IOS4 from http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ and attempted a manual install - when I do this, I receive the error message, "the iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored because the firmware is incompatible"
    3) Downloaded RecBoot to attempt to exit recovery mode, but it does not appear to be detecting the iPod.
    4) Attempted to exit and re-enter DFU mode several times to no avail.
    5) Called Apple Express Lane and was willing to pay the 1 time phone support charge, however the agent told me that he could not help me, and that I needed to take the iPod into an Apple store (the iPod is 190 days out of warranty).
    My last effort is to try the install from another PC. So, prior to taking the iPod into the store, I was wondering if anyone has had any success other than the steps I have tried above. I'm appreciative for any assistance anyone is able to provide.

    Check the model number on the back, "A1318" = 3G, "A1288" = 2G. If it truly is a 32GB 3G Touch, then you're going to have a rough time going back to an iOS version earlier than the current release (4.3.1, available from iTunes). The iOS packs you get from the site you mention are not "signed" and you probably won't be able to install them ... I think 2G owners have better luck with those "unofficial" versions.
    So, if you have a 3G, your best bet is to erase (or move) all earlier iOS versions and let iTunes download a fresh copy of 4.3.1 for the iPod -- no need to go to a 3rd party site. If you have a 2G, then the latest version you can install is 4.2.1, which is also available from iTunes. To increase your odds of this working out, you might temporarily disable any AV software and firewall(s).

  • My IPod touch Sliding screen is locked and won't slide?

    My ipod touch sliding screen to unlock wont open or slide?

    Try this:
    1. Let IPOD spend all batt,
    2. Recharge it again, (i think it's turn on the primitive datas),
    3. The IPOD let you slide again,
    4. Turn WIFI OFF in SETTINGS
    5. IPOD run well, (calculator, Mp3, notes...)
    I believe there is a internet command or a BUG that block the IPOD.

  • My iPod touch has a blank screen and won't turn on. Help?

    It went blank and I've tried to restart it (pressing the home and screen buttons) but that won't work either. I've connected it to a computer but the computer doesn't recognise it. It's been an hour and it still won't work. I even tried connecting it to the portable speaker which also charge and it won't do anyhting with that eiher.
    also I'm not sure which operatine system it is. iSO something. he most recent one you can get on an iPod touch.

    1; Do a hard rest by holding the buttons at least 15 seconds. Does the Apple logo come on?

  • My 4th generation ipod touch is in recovery mode and will not restore

    Everytime i try to restore my ipod it loads until there is a little bit left to load and then shuts off and itunes says that there is an unknown error (9) and can not restore. Does anyone know what that means and/or what i can do?
