Try a hard reset.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Don't be afraid to try this more than once.

  • ITunes has stopped working right in the middle of updating my new iPhone 4 software...

    I just bought the iPhone 4 (not 4S) and plugged in into iTunes. It did a lot of updating and downloading. It says right now under Summary, Software Version: 5.1. And the Updating iPhone software bar has stopped moving right in the middle of the line. My iPhone has that image of the USB with the white arrow below the iTunes logo on the screen right now.
    I cannot exit iTunes or the pop-up will say that the iPhone is being updated, do not exit iTunes.
    I am really unsure of what to do here. I tried two different iPhone USB plug-ins and that didn't help.

    First, in iTunes, launch Preferences and go to the Devices tab. Check the date and time of the last backup. If it is recent you can restore it. However, if you mean you have the photos back in your Camera Roll then the backup was already restored. To get your music and apps back it should just be necessary to click "Sync".

  • HT4972 Why 2nd generation IPod Touch is not allowed to update with newer IOS?

    Why 2nd generation ipod touch not allowed to update its OS to IOS 5 or later? This limitation made that IPod more or less useless as updated apps cannot be installed.

    Be sure to backup your current apps.  They can not be downloaded again,  Earlier iOS apps are becoming increasingly difficult to find.  You may want to look at VintApps, new in the Apple app store, that makes this much easier. 
    https://www.facebook.com/VintApps313
    Although there are thousands of available apps to choose from, they will definitively not be the latest greatest.
    I wrote my 99 cent app specifically to help solve this kind of problem.  I need to add that "I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link."

  • IPod disconnects in the middle of updating

    Everytime i try to update my ipod, it disconnects. then, it will come back up on my computer and disappear again. It will also open a window asking my setup my ipod (wich i tried doing 4 times). i dont know wat to do.
    please help!
    thnx

    Does the mini even have a wireless card (Airport) in it? If you are using your Airport card to share internet (the mini is connected to the network via an ethernet cable), then you might want to check with the mini forum people for some help. Rebooting to restore WiFi seems to be rather extreme.
    I don't believe your touch is going to cause this type of problem. If you want to test it, turn Airplane mode on before you go to bed. If your Mac mini is locked, then you probably need to look to what is going on with the mini.

  • My phone froze on the way to update to new software

    Now it won't turn on at all. What do I do?

    Try Reset. Keep holding both Power and Home Buttons together till Apple logo appears (No data loss)

  • So i was updating my ipod touch (4g) to ios 6 and i needed to stop it in the middle of updating. so i held the home button and the lock button. it turned white and i tried charging it when it died but it went back to usual please help!

    so i was updating my ipod touch (4g) to ios 6 and i needed to stop it in the middle of updating. so i held the home button and the lock button at the same time for it to restart. It started turning on with the apple symbol and then the screen went white. I kept trying to do the same thing but it wouldnt work. Eace time i did that the screen was a different color. I was yellow/white at one point, blue at another time and sometimes the color behind the apple symbol. It got really HOT and i just let it die. When it was dead i put it on a charger. once it got charged up it started turning on with the apple symbol. then it turned white again and then restarted without me touching anything. When it restarted it turned the blue again. i took it off the charger immediantly because i didnt want it getting as hot as it was before. ive tried every way i know how to fix it but not putting it in the computer because i dont want it to ruin the computer. Please help because i really dont want to get a new ipod. Ive read a lot about how to fix it here on apple but there all the same answer and it still doesnt work. Please respond ASAP! thank you! i could really use your help right now!

    First see if placing the iPod in Recovery Mode will allow a restore.
    Next try DFU mode and restore.

    If not successful then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. You are not alone with this problem.

  • Ipod freezing in the middle of songs, have to wait until the battery dies.

    Help me, my ipod freezes in the middle of songs and i have to wait until the battery goes out until i can do anything with it. And the harddrive has started to click and it sounds like a fan that starts spinning after two clicks. What should i do ?
    Pc   Windows XP   Ipod 5th generation

    you know what its funny because my ipod just did this last weekend. its been freezing on and off for the last couple of months. I have had it for a year and a half. It would freeze and i would try and do the whole thing where you hold down menu and select and that worked for awhile, but then suddenly last weekend it froze and it started making a weird clicking sound too. i got ****** and just left it at home for the weekend. when i got back home the battery was dead of course and i just plugged it into the charger and it turned on again. im guessing that sometimes you just have to leave it alone. when it made that clicking noise, it wouldnt do anything. you just have to let the battery die and then recharge it.

  • My laptop died in the middle of updating my iPhone 4 and now my phone is frozen. What do I do?

    My laptop died in the middle of updating my iPhone 4 and now my phone is frozen. What do I do?

    First try forcing it to shut down: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds.
    If you don't get anywhere, restoring it is the next step:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
    Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector)release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.

  • HT201442 my phone was in the middle of updating its software and then suddenly switched off and ive tried to reset it but the itunes symbol appears, I've tried to connect it to itunes but it says it needs to be restored as it is on repair mode.

    My Iphone4S was in the middle of updating its latest software then suddenly it switched off, it hasnt turned on since and I've tried to reset it but only the apple sign appears then the plug into ittnes symbol. I've tried to plug it into itunes but it says my phone is on repair mode which is why it needs to be restored first in order to connect to itunes. I have also then tried to restore it but the error sign appears.

    Connect the iPhone to the compter you usually sync with
    and use iTunes on that computer to do the restore.
