Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    What exactly happened when you tried to restore the iPod? Restore from backup?
    Have you went to Settings>General>reset>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.

  • IPod touch 5th gen. Home button stuck and power button not working! Please help!

    I have an iPod 5th Generation and the home button is jammed down! It felt sticky earlier but now it's stuck down. I used it when the home button wasn't working and had to use my notifications to change from app to app (as I didn't know about assistive touch). I turned it off, but now the power button is no longer responsive! The button isn't stuck, but it doesn't work anymore. It was working fine before, but now it won't respond. Please help!

  • I have 1 ipod but  have diffrent acounts. my computer is setup for my ipod 4th gen that i had stolen and i would like to sync all of that music to my older nano. is there a way to do that without wiping out all my old songs that were on my nano?

    so i have one ipod and it is a 2005 ipod nano. i have plugged into my computer and i cant get to the music on it. i am trying to burn it onto a disk or even a diffrent folder on my computer so i can just have select songs on my ipod. the reason i have 2 diffrent accounts is because i made a new account for my ipod 4th generation and it got stolen. so now i have my older ipod. is there a way to get it onto my computer with out wiping all my old songs on it?

    iPods do not work with "accounts."  They work with your iTunes library.  You don't have to set up a new iTunes library for each iPod.  One iTunes library can sync with as many iPods, iPhones, and iPads as your own, at the same time.  iTunes connects to and treats each device separately.
    However, if your iPod nano is set up for automatic syncing with an iTunes library that is NOT your current iTunes library, you cannot sync your current library to it without replacing its existing content.  Do you have access to the previous iTunes library, the one the iPod currently synced to?  If so, you should transfer your song files from that iTunes library to your current iTunes library.  Then, sync our iPod to your current iTunes library.  You can post back to get more info about the procedure.
    If you don't have access to that previous iTunes library, the approach is to first offload the song files from the iPod to your computer's drive, then add the song files to your current iTunes library.
    You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    You can then sync your iPod to your "consolidated" iTunes library.

    Have you checked the Apple support site? If not, take a look at this -> iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
    Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    If you've used some progam with your iPod that wasn't made by Apple, it might have modified the host file.

  • After dropping my IPod touch gen 5 down the stairs accidentally the touch screen became unresponsive. please help me fix it without costing too much.

    I want an inexpensive way to fix my iPod as I cannot afford another one. please help me..

    If you are good with electronics, as in taking things apart and putting them back together, I would buy a used touch screen off of eBay or a trustworthy site, then take the front off of the iTouch, replace the screen and put the front back on. If you are not good with electronics, I would either take it to a repair shop or send me an email with video/ image of the damage at [email protected]

  • Every time i try to update my iPod touch 4, it downloads the update and gives an error before installation

    I have been trying to update my iPod touch 4 for a while now; however, after downloading the update the computer shows an error and itunes hangs. Can anyone provide a solution?

    This should work:
    Run notepad as Administrator
    Browse here to find the host file:
    C/windows/system32/drivers/etc
    Add this line at the end of the file:
    74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
    Save the file
    Restart iTunes

  • Windows 7 64bit no longer recognizes my iPod as of iTunes 10

    So as of 3 iTunes updates ago, which would be iTunes 10, my computer with windows 7 64bit no longer recognizes my iPod clickwheel, telling me the device has malfunctioned.. which it hasn't it works just fine with my windows XP pro machine. I tried updating the ipod's drivers and that didn't work, since the drivers are up to date for it.

    Looks like the USB Driver is gone. Windows doesn't seem to recognize the iPod touch.

  • My computer no longer recognizes my iPod Touch. And the iPod Touch does not recognize that it is connected to a computer.

    My computer no longer recognizes my iPod Touch. And the iPod Touch does not recognize that it is connected to a computer.  It has worked great for many days until today.
    I’ve tried two different Apple cables.
    I’ve tried different USB ports on the computer.
    I have rebooted both the Mac and the iPod.
    I’ve wiggled the cables and checked for dust in the connectors.
    The iPod charges using this same cable connected to wall wart.  That’s a good sign.
    Both the Mac and iPod seem to work fine separate from each other.  They just won’t talk anymore.
    Mac mini
    1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo
    OS 10.4.11
    iTunes 9.2.1
    iPod Touch 32GB, version 3.1.3 (7E18), model PB533LL 

    I found this possible solution on another support thread, so I tried it.
    turn off iPod
    hold Sleep and Home buttons to start it.
    When Apple appears, let go of Sleep button, but keep holding Home button.
    When screen goes blank, let go of Home button.
    Connect cable and check iTunes to see if it has conencted.
    This did not work for me.
    I then turned off the iPod, restarted the Mac, and restarted the iPod normally.
    I connected them with the cable, and it works like normal.  :-)

  • My pc no longer recognizes my ipod.  What can I do

    My pc will no longer recognize my ipod touch.  I looked in my computer not there.  ITunes does not see it either.  However, when I unplug it from my pc I get the usual sound of hardwear being disconnected.  Any ideas on how to get my pc to see my IPod?

    Try putting it on Recovery mode then restore it..
    Press or Hold the power and home keys 10 seconds.
    Screen goes black, now release the power button
    Make sure you do not release the Home key until
    your iTunes says "We have detected an itouch
    in recovery mode."
    After this its simple all you
    got to do is a simple restore using your iTunes
