I put my ipod touch in DFU mode, but when I plug it into my computer the restore your ipod alert does not come up in itunes. What can/should I do?

I have been on the Apple Support page for several hours now and cannot find my exact circumstance and other suggestions have yet to help me. I purchased a locked ipod touch and when I plug it into my laptop itunes says "Itunes could not connect to ipod because it is locked with a passcode". The guy I bought it from told me the password but I failed to write it down and remember it and he has since moved so I can't find him. I have tried putting it in DFU mode and I can get it there, but then Itunes does not show the pop-up that everyone has said will come up with the alert about an ipod trying to restore itself so I cannot get it to do so. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
AM

When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Why is it that when i go to restore my ipod it says im not connected to the internet when i am. so if anyone could help it would be very much appreciated

this is the lattest ipod touch and its 32 gb

well when i click restore it says itunes cannot contact the ipod update server because im not connected to the internet but as ive said bbefore i already am connected but when i click on it it also comes up with a little box and its called (Dial- up Connection) and it wont connect

I've reset my iPhone 4S, my photos are gone but when I plug it into iTunes it still says they are there, can I get them back?

I reset my iPhone 4S and my photos have now gone, the albums are still there but no photos even though when I look at my storage and plug it into iTunes it still says that majority of my memory is to the amount of photos I have. Can anyone tell me how I can get my photos back?

last thing you can try would be go to settings, general, settings, reset all settings
if that does not work, a factory restore will be needed...

Have you the iPad User Guide? If not, download it from the link under manuals at the start of this forum an tke time to give it a cursory read at the very least.

HT201210 my iphone 3gs is on recovery mode but when i try to restore it, it says the server cannot be reached or temporary unavailable.please i need help.

can you help me my phone doesnt want to restore from recovery. it keep on saying the server is unavailale

Usually a sign of a jailbroken iPhone & since Apple does not support jailbreaking, that's what happens. If that's the case with you, we can't help you here...the terms of use prohibit such. Sorry, but you'll have to go elsewhere.

My iphone 4 died, it won't turn on, it won't charge, it isn't being recognized by my computer. Holding the home lock buttons isn't working. I can't restore it because it won't show up in iTunes. All I see is a red battery sign. Help?

My iPhone 4 has gone completely dead and is unresponsive. Can anyone help?

I would never recommend tinyumbrella. I've had to respond to hundreds of posts from people who used it and found the it trashed the network database on their computer.
If you can't recover using approved methods rather than hacking your phone (which is what tinyumbrella does) then you've probably got a hardware problem.
So what should you do? First, connect it to a charger for 15 minutes. If it doesn't recognize the charger try a different one and a different cable. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. Hold up to 1 minute. If nothing happens your phone really is broken, either a broken connector or a bad battery.
If you DO get some response see this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Of course, if you have already tried tinyumbrella this won't work until you repair the damage to your network database on your computer. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Helpppp My Ipod Will not connect to itunes via my computer, but when i plug it into my laptop it connects but doesnt have all my songs on the itunes library. How can i add songs to my ipod via my laptop

??

Nothing should be lost.
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...
See the Using iTunes Section Here...
How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
NOTE:
The 2nd Gen iPod Touch can only go to 4.2.1

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Any help would be very much appreciated! My computer crashed and I didn't have itunes backed up elsewhere and now my son has disabled the ipod touch by entering the incorrect password too many times. Any way I can save the songs,etc. I have on the ipod?

If the iPod is disabled at this point, there would be no other way to access the iPod other than restoring it through iTunes. If you don't have your purchases backed up, you can always email the iTunes billing team and hope that they will grant you an exception to have your purchases regranted so you don't have to pay again.

I have an iPhone 4s just eight months, it is normal that the battery lasts only 3 hours? please help me thank you very much.

I have an iPhone 4s just eight months, it is normal that the battery lasts only 3 hours? please help me thank you very much.

Three hours if definitely NOT normal. I get at least 48 hours out my 2 year old iPhone 4S' battery with light usage. Did you do the iOS 7 update on the phone it self (OTA) or through iTunes? In my experience most problems are caused by the OTA updates. For this reason I ALWAYS update using iTunes on my computer.
I would suggest restoring your phone using iTunes on your computer and setting it us as a new phone. This downloads a fresh copy of iOS 7.1 from Apple and installs it on your phone. Just make sure that you transfer all purchased items (apps, music, etc.) as well as photos to your computer before restoring as the restore will completely wipe your phone. Do not restore from a back-up. Yes, you will loose all your data on the phone but restoring a back-up can restore the problem you are currently having back to your phone. Once your phone has been restored you can manually sync back your apps and music.
Before restoring you can also check to see that battery-killers like Location Services, Background App Refresh, etc are only turned on for the apps that really need it. I recently read and article that said that the Facebook app can be a real battery killer. If you have this app installed turn of location services and background app refresh for this app and see if that helps. Also go to Settings / General / Restrictions / Location Services / System Services and turn off all the options in that menu. Your phone does not need any of those to function. Constantly using your phone's GPS is a huge battery killer. I only have Location Services enabled for Find my iPhone and Background App Refresh is turned off completely.
I hope this helps.

HT1349 hi, i am trying to enable my sons disabled ipod touch after he changed the passcode and forgot about it. I can get it into dfu mode but when im trying to restore it using itunes it keeps tripping out with an error message saying could not be restor

hi
my son has disabled his ipod touch and has forgotton the pass code, i have followed all the websites and got it into dfu mode but when itunes is restoring it back to its factory settings it is telling me that there are about 35 hours to go and then an error message comes up saying a problem with uploading and that my network isnt working (which is wrong) and to try again......donr this about 10 times now and everytime get the same error message......any help would be much appreciated
cheers
Paul

Ask him if he has 'jailbroken' the ipod touch. Some jailbreaking firmware resets it to Ipad firmware and so it is very difficult to restore as itunes simply doesnt recognise it for what it is. It's Apple's solution to try and stop mass jailbreaking.

I have an Iphone 3gs and today I had taken some pictures and my battery was 8% i was looking at the few I had took. Then my phone died but when I plugged it into the charger and got it on I went to upload the pictures but they were deleted!

All my other pictures that i have taken are still there, it just deleted the ones I took a couple of hours before it died!
I was just wondering if there is anyway of getting them back at all? and how common is this?

Sounds like your iPhone was hacked to unlock and now updating locks back to the original carrier.
Where did you get the iPhone?
