My ipod cant restore itself because it says an error happened?

My ipod cannot restore because it says an error happened?

Hey there mckenzie,
It sounds like you are unable to restore your iPod Touch due to an error message. You should start with the following article to help get that going, named:
Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
If you are getting a specific error number, use this article next:
Resolve iOS update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
If these articles do not resolve the issue, can you tell me word for word what the error says?
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

    Hello pryan1012,
    What this message means is that you have more music in your itunes library than there is free space in your ipod.
    I had this same issue at one time. This is what helped me put my music on the ipod. I used manually manage.

  • Icloud keeps giving this error "You cant sign in because of a server error" why do i keep getting this?

    I am trying to fix an outlook cal sync issue which requires me to sign into icloud. I get this error every time I try. "You cant sign in because of a server error" why do i keep getting this?

    I have used the solution below to fix mine and others that have run into this issue.

    then type in:  "Netsh winsock reset"  (-without the quotes-)
    Hit enter, restart PC, iCloud For PC should now connect without any server errors
    (This solutions will work in some instances when trying to fix errors associated when you are unable to connect to iTunes also.)

  • IPod nano wont update because it says its windows based

    My iPod wont update because it says that it is Windows based. I have never used it on a Windows machine.
    How do i change it to mac based.

    In the restore instructions it says that you need to plug the iPod into a power adaptor during the second stage.
    Not really.
    Actually it says,
    "iTunes will present one of two messages on screen with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    * Restore Instruction 1: Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    * Restore Instruction 2: Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models)."
    You will get Restore Instruction 2.

  • My iphone won't let me restore it because it says that it is not up to date in i tunes.

    My iphone won't let me do a full restore because it says that it is not up to date in itunes.
    However, my phone says that it is up to date in the settings menu.  Everytime I try to update it again...nothing happens or it says that there was a network failure.  The problem seems to exist because I backed up my new iphone 5c with a backup from December 2012 on accident.  I tried to back up my
    previous iphone, but it didn't take for some reason.  Now when I try to back it up to the new backup it says there is not enough room.
    So  1. I can't restore it because it thinks it isn't up to date.
    2.  I can't back it up because it says there is not enough room.
    Any help would be great!

    Latest iTunes is 11.1.1 and was released specifically for the new 5s/5c phones, so you do have to have it if you are the owner of any of those.
