  • My iPod is stuck on hold

    my ipod is stuck on hold. i already tried toggling the switch back and forth and nothing happens. even when i turn my hold switch off the padlock icon still shows up. i even restored my ipod. the only way i can listen to songs is if i plug in my FM radio receiver. but it plays everything in order and i'm always stuck listening to the same songs. is there any way i can fix it or should i just wait until i can get enough money to buy an ipod with more space? (i have a 2GB nano)

    the only way to solve this problem is to let it run out of battery life completley

  • Ipod touch stuck in recovery mode and will not restore. error code 3194

    ipod touch stuck in recovery mode, will not restore and comes up with error code 3194, itunes is up to date, please help

    Hi @rchangel - Thanks for the ideas...
    Yes - it won't let you install the 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine.
    I've had a cursory look at the SP1 release notes, and couldn't spot anything vital - what critical stuff do you know of in SP1?
    I don't want to have to go through all the pain of setting up VM's, reinstalling iTunes, getting all my album art back in etc. (though I could, as I do have Win7 pro). I've also heard that running iTunes in Windows 7 compatibility mode might help. Can anyone confirm whether that actually works?
    I think it's in Apple's gift to fix this issue, given that they say that they support Windows 7. So far I've had no feedback from a mail I sent to Apple, and the number of users reporting this problem keeps going up and up.
    I want Apple to recognise that there is a problem, and then I want them to fix it.

  • Ipod Touch Stuck On iTunes Screen. The iPod 'iPod' cannot be restored at this time because the ipod software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.

    I got a new ipod touch for Christmas.
    Today I was going to put music on it, i was told there was updates.
    So I went ahead to do them.
    My Ipod is stuck on the screen with the usb cord pointing to the itunes logo.
    In Itunes i'm told :
    Itunes has dected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used with itunes.
    Turning the ipod off - the same screen appears when it's back on.
    When I click restore ipod and after restore and update is clicked ; Extracting software loads up at the top.
    When its done this is the message I get:
    The iPod 'iPod' cannot be restored at this time because the ipod software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.
    I've been looking up trying to figure it out myself and have read making sure a setting in Lan Settings in Internet Properties has ; Automatically detect settings checked. I still get the same ipod message.
    I've tried holding the power and home key to turn it off, then powering it back on. But that doesn't work.
    I installed itunes today, so its up to date - I checked.
    I don't know what else to do.
    Can someone help me out, please? :}
    The operating system was ios 5 something? It wanted to update to 6 i believe.

    I've tried the top part but now that i've looked to the bottom:
    Additional Information
    The “hosts” file may also be blocking gs.apple.com.
    Select the hosts file (normally you can find your hosts file at C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC).
    I put this in the url bar?
    When it gives me the list of names, im not sure what to do from there. The steps aren't that clear for me.

  • Hello. Today, I was updating my iPod Touch 4th Generation to iOS 6. I unplugged the iPod when it was during the installation because it appeared to be frozen. Now the iPod is stuck at a light blue screen even after I reset it. How do I fix it?

    Hello. Today, I was updating my iPod Touch 4th Generation to iOS 6. I unplugged the iPod when it was during the installation because it appeared to be frozen. Now the iPod is stuck at a light blue screen even after I reset it. How do I fix it?

    You will need to do a DFU restore by holding the home and power buttons down (while the device is plugged in to your computer) until the device's screen goes black and as soon as the screen goes black, count down from 3 and release the power/sleep button, but keep holding down the home button. Then, iTunes will say the iPod needs to be restored. The restore process will take some time and even though the iPod may appear to be frozen, don't interrupt the restore.

  • IPod Touch stuck in "Backing Up" while trying to sync

    Hi. I have a 2nd Generation iPod Touch (16GB) with firmware 4.2.1. When I tried syncing it the yesterday, it was stuck in the Backing Up step for a few hours. I tried cancelling, I tried ejecting the iPod through iTunes, and tried shutting down iTunes by X-ing out and by going into Task Manager (Windows 7). None worked, my computer froze, so I had to shut down my computer without ejecting the iPod or cancelling the sync. Then when I reconnected the iPod, I had to restore it. I couldnt restore it on my laptop (the computer I was using), it would come up with an error message that said something like "This iPod cannot be restored due to.... (1604)".
    Then, I tried restoring it on iTunes on my desktop computer. This worked, and the iPod restored with firmware 4.2.1 and would work. However, all of my music and everything else is on my laptop. So I tried then syncing it with my laptop to get all of my music back, but first started with trying the sync the (less than) 1GB of Apps I have... Again, the iPod is stuck in "Backing Up" and has been for almost an hour now. I have the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3), and its not an issue with Windows as everything else works fine.
    What should I do?
    Thanks,
    Adam

    See:
    iOS: Troubleshooting backup issues in iTunes
    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • IPod touch stuck on USB connect screen but not recognized by iTunes

    I downloaded the update for my iPod via iTunes but when the update attempted to install on the iPod, I received a message that the update failed. Now, my iPod is stuck on the USB connect screen (with the image of a cord below an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo). Every other thread says to connect to iTunes and attempt to reset the device (off and home button for several seconds) so I can restore it through iTunes, but even if I do that, it fails to connect to iTunes. Last time I had problems connecting to iTunes I downloaded the update through the iPod itself but seeing as I can't get off the USB connect screen, downloading it from the iPod is impossible. How can I get my iPod working again? Either getting it off the frozen screen so I can download the update, or getting my computer to recognize it so I can restore? Last time it wouldn't connect to iTunes (when it wasn't frozen) the computer still recognized it but now it does not. (I'm on a Windows 8 laptop)

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • ITunes won't recognize my iPod touch after a failed update--my iPod is stuck on the "plug into itunes" screen

    Yesterday, I had bought myself an ipod touch and it was working just fine until today when I went along with an itunes prompt to update my ipod.  It failed to update and now won't recognize it, I checked to see if it was recognized by my computer--and it is, but a thing pops up that says "access denied" whenever I try to click on it.  The screen on my ipod is stuck wanting me to connect to itunes.

    You may need to try this More than Once...
    Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...

  • App store and itunes store are stuck in Japanese store. Says: Account not in Store. Your account is not valid for use in the Japanese store. You must switch to the Philippines store before purchasing.

    My app store and itunes store are stuck in Japanese store. I already moved to the Philippines for about a year ago and my stores still won't change its location.
    I already changed the region/country in my apple id. I tried to sign out and sign in back to my account. Tried it in app store, in itunes store, in settings app, in itunes in my laptop, in the apple website. It shows that my apple id is already set to Philippines, no matter where I sign in my account.
    The problem is when I open my app store (or itunes store) in my iphone, it appears that it is in the Philippines store; however, when I sign in my account (and I tried to sign in everywhere), I cannot download any app from the Philippine store. When I try to download an app, it always says "Account not in this store. Your account is not valid for use in the Japanese store. You must switch to the Philippines store before purchasing." I have read everywhere and most of the answers say that it should automatically direct me to the correct store. It doesn't happen to me, apparently.
    I have the same problem in both my iPhones. Both are iPhone 3GS and in version 5.1.1. I don't want to upgrade to iOS6 so please don't tell me to do so. Thanks!

    try logging out of of store and then log in again
