My 8GB iPod won't work after I clicked restore on iTunes?!

I clicked restore on itunes as my iPod had two/three lots of the same songs on it and i just wanted to wipe the memory and start again by putting all my albums on. Now it won't work as it says there was a problem with recovery and it's in safe mode and just keeps referring me to queries that are far too technical for me to understand.  How could this happen?

It states an unknown error occurred (1) and shows a tab saying, more information. But despite restarting both my mac and iPod.....it still won't work and just has an apple icon on the iPod......

  • Back up corrupted and won't work after trying to restore when updated to 5.0.1?

    I uprayed my iPod Touch to iOs 5.0.1 last night, all was going well until it got stuck at the "Connect with iTunes" screen. iTunes recognized the itouch and everything was fine in iTunes but the itouch screen wouldn't change. So I restore it back to factory setting and set it up as a new iPod touch since the 'Connect with iTunes' screen would not go away. I started to Restore from Back up from iTunes after its been connected to iTunes, now with the 'Connect to iTunes' screen gone. Halfway in, a message popped up saying that the back up has been corrupted or can't be used with the iPod touch. I lost everything. Can someone please help me with this?!

    I can't find the preferences section of itunes. where is it because it isn't at the very top of the screen and I didn't see it anywhere else. i hasn't told me that the back-up is corrupted so I don't know about that. I just know that it always comes up with the error message 50 when I try to get the back-up restored to it.

  • Ipod won't work after trying to install Paid 2.0 update

    I bought the 2.0 update for my 16 gig ipod touch. After trying to install the update through itunes half way through the update it gave me the message "The ipod could not be restored. An Unknown error occured (6)." I tried to do a restore on the ipod it it does the same thing. Can anyone help? Now after paying for an update I have an ipod that doesn't work at all.
    I tried doing a restore using the old software on a different itunes library and get the same error message.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks Larry

    ok i have figured out how to fix this problem!! it is simple. make a new account on your computer. Now use the itunes on that account and just plug ur touch in and restore it. It will restore it to the software 1.1.4 . now just go back to your main account on ur computer and plug ur touch in once again and it will restore it to its original settings and sync all your songs and videos and the rest.
    I followed the above instructions. Let Itunes 7.7 set itself up on the new account and downloaded the update. The first attempt didnt work but the second attempt after I rebooted the PC I logged in on the new user and booted up Itunes.
    When that had finished faffing about I connected the USB cable into another USB port (above the one its just come out of if you get my drift) and it started extracting the software for Restore then it started prparing the ipod for for restore and then started uploading the software to the ipod in which it had not done it before. As I type it has just finished synching the ipod with my current Itunes library on my default windows account.
    I am running the update but will have to enter my contacts details again but hey thats no big deal.
    So I hope you all get yours to work.
    Cheers

  • Ipod won't work after disconnecting improperly

    My husband shut down the computer while the Ipod Nano was still connected -- it wasn't ejected properly. Now...when I plug the Nano in to the computer, it alternately flashes the Apple logo and then the low battery icon over and over. I've tried:
    1. Rebooting it by toggling on/off the hold button and then pressing Menu and Select at the same time. Nothing.
    2. Recharging it in the car. (The Nano did work in the car!) When I went to turn it on after I removed it from the car, it went back to the flashing apple/low-battery icons.
    3. I re-installed Ipod and updater software. Nothing changed.
    So...what should I try next?

    Try this then...

  • IPod won't work after trying to install IOS4; install "hangs"

    Hello,
    My son has an iPod touch. It's a month old and bought new, so it would be the latest version. We also have the latest version of iTunes running on Vista.
    The issue . . .
    Son was prompted by iTunes to download IOS4. He did this, but when he tried to install it on the iPod, it froze the iPod and iTunes.
    We have tried several times to do the install, and on two different computers, but the same thing happens - the install "hangs" at about one-third of the way into the installation.
    We also cannot use the iPod at all, because when we switch it on, there's an icon that tells us to connect it to iTunes. And when we do this, we can the hanging issue described above.
    Son is distressed. He spent all his birthday money downloading apps for the new iPod, and is worried he may have lost the lot.
    I can see from the discussions here that we are not the only ones having this proble. Is anyone closer to finding a solution?
    Thanks.

    I fixed this by taking doing the restore/install on a Mac.
    It's now working fine on the PC.
    Of course, this only helps people who have access to a Mac!

  • IPhone 4 won't work after i used restore

    Today I changed my iPhone passcode, and now I can't remember it. (dumb move, I know) but after I googled a couple things they all said I had to restore. So, I did and afterwards it made me choose my language, country, etc. and then says "Activating your iPhone. It may take up to three minutes to activate your iPhone" after a while, it then says at the top "Could Not Activate iPhone" and then in the middle "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." Meanwhile, it is connected to iTunes, it just won't show up. PLEASE help, I'm getting so frustrated and I don't know what else to do.

    I got it from the Verizon store, and they activated it and everything for me before i left the store. But I just restored it to reset the passcode. Except now, it says it can't activate.

  • Updated my iPod touch 3rd gen to 5.0.1 from 4.3.2 and now the screen my iPod won't work anymore.

    Updated my iPod touch 3rd gen to 5.0.1 from 4.3.2 and now the screen my iPod won't work anymore. I restored it, I backed it up and I held the power and Home buttons for the reboot and still nothing. I've been looking to see if any one had the same problem and one guy did but they tOld him it was his hardware, but I don't think it was because my friend was able to get it working but it would stop working again like in 10min. So, has anyone had the same problem and can help? Please, I will greatly apretiate it. :)

    What do you mnean that the screen does not work?
    When you touch the screen the iPod does not respond?
    Nothing shows on the screen?

  • External keypad won't work after installing OS 7.

    External keypad won't work after installing OS 7. I have a "Zagg" keyboard that won't pair now to OS 7,...Why?

    They do work. I have one and mine is working. Have you tried to reset your iPad? HOlding down teh sleep and home keys until it reboots then try pairing again.
    A slightly more drastic thing is to go into the settings and reset all settings. THe downside, you will need to retweak your device but it can help fix keyboard glitches.

  • IPod won't work when iTrip is connect to car charger

    Any ideas?

    Try the following to rule out a software problem:
    - 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.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem that indicates a hadware problem, likely a bad battery. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • IPod won't work off the charger

    My 4th Gen iPod won't work when it's not connected to the charger.  As soon as you remove it from the power source it shuts down.  I have updated to the latest iOS and it's been restored.  This corrected the issue for about 24hrs then it was back to random shut down and now it won't work at all.
    Suggestions or does it need to go visit an Apple Store ?

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

    I also had problems with iTunes 7 when it first came out, but 7.0.2 is working for me and seems to have fixed a lot of the problems. It's worth a try if you need iTunes 7 for your new iPod.

    Assuming you've first checked Software Update to see if there are any updated drivers and it's still not working, you could try resetting the printing system.

  • Why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs?

    I had my iPod Shuffle for about a month now and it's already causing me trouble.
    I would play a couple of songs, but when I go to change it, it stops working. I turn it off and on again only to have it take me back to where I started off at (e.g. Let's say I have 100 songs, I start at 50 and I get to 55 before it shuts off. When I turn it back on, it starts at 50 all over again). This process would happen over and over again with seemingly no end.
    So my question is, why does my iPod Shuffle stop working after a few songs and how can I fix it?
    I already tried using the iTunes troubleshooting guide, but nothing worked.
    Details -
    4th Generation
    I only use it at the gym or when I'm running
    I've only used the Apple products that came with it so far
           (e.g. charger, headphones, etc.)
    881 MB are still left
    Music stops randomly, no common number or pattern

    I had the same problem, I purchased a new ipod shuffle, followed the instructions but it would stop after a few songs and I would have to shut it off, wait and turn it back on and it would go back to the same song and then once again, after a few songs it would shut off. I returned the ipod and got another one, same thing happened. This is how I resolved the issue.
    1. open itunes, make sure its up to date, then connect your shuffle to your pc
    2.on the left of the itunes window, select your ipod, then at the top select music then check the sync box and select "selected playlists"
    3.then go back and click on your ipod on the left, a message will appear just select apply
    all of your music should be emptied from your ipod.
    4.delete all of your playlists on the left, this will not delete anything from your library. Delete the "purchased" playlist under itunes store on the left as well, once again this will not delete anything from your library
    5.There should be an arrow just in front of your ipod, click on this arrow and you should see your music file for the ipod appear, this should be the only file that you see, everything else should be deleted.
    6. go to your music library and check only the songs that you want to load into your ipod. Double click on each song to make sure that they all play.
    If you find a song that does not play you should be asked to authorize it, don't waste your time that did not solve the issue for me, instead cancel to authorize the song and then delete the song and move it to recycle bin. Once the song is deleted a cloud should appear, click on the cloud and download the song again, when done, make sure the song plays and that it is checked.
    7.After you have made sure that all of the songs play and are checked, click on your ipod once more, located to the left, check the box  "sync only checked songs" then from the top select music. In the music window select "sync music' and then select "entire music Library"
    8. Go back to the left and click on the arrow in front of your ipod, you should see the music file, click on the music file and you should see all of your music being loaded to your ipod.
    9. When all of the music is done loading, eject your ipod by clicking on the arrow located after the battery symbol where your ipod appears on the left
    10. Turn on your ipod and scroll through your songs to make sure that the problem is resolved.
    Not sure if all of this was necessary but it worked for me.
