My Ipod Touch won't restore after full reset!!! please help fast!!!

My Ipod touch 3g 8gb on 3.1.3 got some major problems recently. When I wanted to take a snapshot it just doesn't appear in photos. When I wanted to save an image from Safari it doesn't appear in photos. Then I got fed up and pressed Reset Settings. That finished and the photos problem wasn't solved. Still. I chose Reset all settings and content. I confirmed it and Ipod Touch was doing it for like 20-25min. After that it just won't start up. I am trying to restore it right now with iTunes and again to 3.1.3 (3.1.2 or other doesn't work). I clicked restore, everything went fine but now, it is stuck at like 95% and won't move. I really don't know what I did wrong and what I have to do to fix it. Any suggestions?

Hi, my 4th generation iPod touch won't turn on. I lost it for about a year, and I plugged it in and it wouldn't turn on. Please help!
~Thanks

Make sure it's fully charged. Hold the Sleep/Wake + Home buttons down (at least 15-seconds) until Apple logo lights up. If that does not work, you may need a new battery.

Ipod Touch won't restore after memory cleared

Hi,
i have an ipod touch 2g that was on 3.1.2 software, and i needed to clear memory and start over. i clicked the option "erase all content and settings" in the settings menu of the ipod.
after it had finished clearing the memory i plugged the ipod back into the computer and put it into the mode with the cable and the itunes icon (the mode that it was in when it came in the box) after it went into that mode it showed up on itunes as a "device that needs to be restored", so i clicked restore, it extracted firmware, and now has been stuck on "waiting for ipod" for 10 hours, with the ipod's screen showing an apple and an empty loading bar (has stayed empty for 10 hours)
anyone help?
thanks in advance

Welcome to the discussions,
Did you try to connect in recovery mode? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
If this does not work, locate the *.ipsw firmware file on your computer and copy it to a save place and delete the original file, leave the folder empty and don't delete it. This will make itunes get a new copy from Apple instead of using the one stored on your computer, maybe it got damaged. Then try again to restore.

Ipod touch won't restore, turn on or update

My ipod touch will not restore.I use it only for music and my 6 year old plays the games. It was dead flat after a long trip yesterday and when I tried to charge it nothing happen. I then plugged it into the computer and a msg came up that it was in recovery mode and needed to be restored. When I pressed restore is comes up with another msg to say "software for this Iphone is not currently available update the latest version of itunes and try again" I checked to make sure I have the latest version of itunes which I do. It comes up as an Iphone which it isn't. My husband has the iphone and can plug his phone in no worries. I thought it wasn't because I don't plug into itunes very often and my ipod was behind the times in updates but when I rang Apple they are saying I have a version of the software to advanced for itunes ***!!!! Have no idea how that happen Help

Ipod touch won't start after restore

Ipod touch 3rd Generation- battery was completely dead after sitting for a week or so. I charged it but couldn't get it to turn on. Went into recovery mode, connected it to the computer and re-loaded everything, but when restore is done, the IPOD still won't start or display in itunes.

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 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.

IPod Touch won't sync after restore

iPod Touch, 1st gen., system software 3.1.3
I know this is an old device and there probably aren’t many people still using OS 3.1.3 but this is what I’ve got. All was working reasonably well before I performed a restore, hoping to remedy some slowness. However, since reloading both software and contents, I continually get the following message while performing a sync: “The iPod “Laurent Fignon” cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found.” While podcasts are updated, photo albums will not load before that message appears and the sync ends. I’ve tried the restore a couple of times since, thinking that might help but I continue to see the same message when trying to sync.
Rest of the platform is MacBook Pro 4.1, OS 10.6.8, iTunes 10.6.3

Thanks for the suggestions so far.
After trying a couple of less labor intensive suggestions, I downloaded and reinstalled iTunes. Performed a reboot. Started iTunes. Tried to sync the iPod Touch. Still stopped mid-way through with the same message - "The Pod cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." As the sync had been quitting at the point where it said it was installing photos, I unchecked the "Sync Photos From" button and tried to sync again. This time the sync finished successfully. However, I'd like the photos from the album "iPod Touch" in my iPhoto library to be on the iPod Touch. It is listed as an album in iPhoto and I can view the pics there but iTunes apparently can't find them. There is no folder in user/Pictures/ called "iPod Touch". I don't think I can open the iPhoto Library file. Anyone have another idea?

My iPod Touch won't restore on iTunes! It's stuck on recovery mode and I can't get it to restore after I updated the software! Help?

Okay, so I got an iPod touch, 4th gen, 32gb, brand new and running perfectly fine two years ago. Used it for about six months, lost it, and finally found it again a month ago tucked away in my recliner. It was as dead as a doornail, but I had it charged up and ready to go in a few hours.
So I wanted to get a special app for my iHome, as well as spend all of my accumulated iTunes cards that were previously useless due to the fact that I had lost my iPod for a year and a half. The app store said I had to update to the current software to download anything new, so I did just that about half an hour ago, updating to the latest version of iTunes and downloading the new software for my iPod like I was supposed to.
Only when I applied it to my iPod, it went into Recovery Mode as expected, but I can't restore it! I've made sure there's no extra USB attachments in it, my firewalls are currently down to get around this stupid thing (just turned them back on because it wasn't working), and feeling like I just let all this money slip down the drain.
If you have any relevant advice, please help! I'm running on Windows 7 with the current version of iTunes (64 bit). Help!

Ipod touch won't work after installing a new app.

Hi!
Last night, I decided to install a new "Alarm clock," app and test it out by setting it to ring a minute later- what a BIG mistake, because during the time it was supposed to ring, it made my Ipod touch completely crash instead. For the past few hours all it's been doing is flashing back and forth between my homelock screen (with the "slide to unlock," bar at the bottom) and the Apple logo, with the round 'processing' image infront of it.
I have tried many different things to get it out of this funk but nothing has worked! I tried resetting the Ipod by holding down the menu and power button, the screen went black temporarily, didn't show the "slide to power off" bar and then just reloaded with the same two flashing images. I tried restoring it, but it wouldn't restore, until I did a special reboot that I read about via online boards- where you have to hold the power + menu buttons for 10 seconds, then release the power button whilst holding just the menu button for 10 seconds- but, whilst the Ipod did go through the whole restoring process thereafter, it didn't manage to sync up.
Now, not only does my ipod STILL flash back and forth between those two images. I keep getting an error message of (0xE80000001)! I used a different cable to try and sync up, but the blasted thing still won't stop flashing back and forth between those two images, and the ipod is not being recognised by itunes so the ipod keeps beeping, in and out of itunes and won't sync!
My ipod isn't 'jailbroken,' I haven't touched it's software or altered it in any way, to how it was sold to me. I would've liked to have brought it back the the Apple store to be looked at, but I don't think they'll help me because the top left hand corner of my Ipod is completely missing after my niece dropped it a few months ago- the Ipod still worked (up until I installed the **** alarm app) perfectly well until now!
Also, I have a mac, so any tips on how to access/help/fix this problem would have to have instructions for a Mac OS not Windows please!
Many thanks!

4th Gen Ipod touch won't restore.

I have a 32g 4th generation iPod touch that I got for Christmas. At first like 4 days after I got it, it would not turn on. So I did the whole home and sleep button together. After that it was like each four days I had to do it. Recently til this week I had to do it at least two times a day. Now my computer won't even recognize it. When I restore it, it cant because of error 2009. I did everything that the apple site told me to do. I even did it in my brother's computer which he uses to update his iPhone. Yet it gave me the same error 2009. Is my iPod the one with the problem? Anyone else have this problem. If so how did you solve it? Or do I have to call costumer service?

The past week I have had to restore it each til this Friday when it stop restoring it. A window pop out say it could it couldn't because of 'Error 2009'. I have done the usb, removed all my security, and checked my usb ports. Nothing is working so far. I even changed computers but it gave me the same error.

IPod touch 2G not restoring after paid 3.1 update

Hi I'm new here, this is my problem.
I have an iPod touch 8GB 2G, purchased in August last year, anyway, I decided to treat myself last Saturday and update it, thing is, when it updated it froze then put itself in restore mode, thinking this was just part of the process of updating I clicked restore, it then decided not to update and iTunes gave me a bout of errors such as the most common (13,14,1604) and the uncommon (20) after feeling extremely guilty for even bothering with the update in the first place, I did everything possible to make it work such as;
removing iTunes
Re-installing all apple software incl iTunes.
After managing to calm myself down my friend offered me his 2G 16GB as he was given two iPod's in September by his divorced parent's.
So I plugged this one into iTunes ready to sync it, when suddenly; it decided (against my will) as I'd already purchased the update, to update this one to a 3.0, the exact same process occurred and I now have a brand new iPod that will not restore itself.
May I say I have tried EVERYTHING, un-installing, re-installing, deleting the software updates, re-booting, different computers, I have even tried a jailbreak with no success.
As I live in Scotland and both iPod's were purchased in Argos, I cannot get support from anywhere, any suggestions or help, PLEASE, I am at the end of my tether and I don't want a brand new iPod touch to go to waste.
Can I also mention, I have tried restoring it from various iTunes series, (7.0,8.0 and 9.0) and it is not restoring in any of them.
I have tried jailbreakers; Ra1n and QuickFreedom.
I think this may be to do with the 3.1 software from Apple, therefore, after reading various similar posts, I am not alone.
This has had me in tears as my original 8GB iPod touch was a gift from my recently deceased grandfather and the fact it has broken has had me in tears.
Anyway, help is well appreciated

I had the same problem once and right now I'm typing this reply on the iPod that had the error, so it's a semi-easy fix. This isn't the way I did it but as soon as I remeber I'll post that as well.
Ok, first check to see if your iPod is connected to your computer via a USB hub. If so then unplug it and plug directly into a USB port on your computer.
If that doesn't work try updating the USB driver like this:
1. Plug your iPod into the computer (no USB hub).
2. Quit iTunes if it is open.
3. Click on the start menu.
4. Click control panel.
5. In the control pane,l click on administrative tools. If you don't see this option look at the left column and click switch to classic view. You should then be able to click administrative tools.
6. Double click the computer management option.
7. In the left column you see the device manager option under the system tools folder.
8. In the right column, click the plus sign next to universal bus controllers to expand this option.
9. In the dropdown list look for anything related to iPod or Apple. You might see something like "iPod" or "Apple Mobile Device." You may also see a yellow colored exclamation point symbol, which means you need to update the driver.
10. RIGHT CLICK the "iPod" or "Apple Mobile Device" and choose update driver from the menu.
11. A hardware update wizard will pop up. Choose "Yes, this time only," then click next.
12. Select insall the software automatically and click next.
If that doesn't work let me know. This is a fix I found on the Internet. Some people still had trouble afterwards and others didn't.
