Ipod wont restore and update. network connection timed out. help!???

I restored my ipod touch 2g 8gb. I went into itunes and followed the steps. I clicked restore and update and it goes through the whole process and gets all the way to the end and it says ipod software update (processing file) then a pop up comes up telling me "there was a problem downloading the software for the ipod. the network connection timed out". i've tried it in different usb ports and i've turned off the firewalls. still nothing. does anyone have a solution for me?? i've been trying for a few days now and i've look all over the internet to fix this issue. i'm at the point i'm just annoyed so i'm posting here for help. any help would be awesome! thanks

When you get anything that says your network connection timed out it either means you lost internet connection or there is something blocking the connection between the computer and the servers that it is trying to connect to.
If you have a solid internet connection and can browse to websites fine it's either an anti-virus program or a firewall on the computer OR a firewall in the router's settings that you use to connect to the internet.
Reconfigure any security software to allow Apple's servers to pass.
Useful information for configuring your security software:
IMPORTANT: iTunes must be allowed to contact Apple using the following ports and servers:
port 80
port 443
phobos.apple.com, deimos3.apple.com, albert.apple.com, gs.apple.com, itunes.apple.com, ax.itunes.apple.com
For a more complete list of ports used by Apple products see "Well known" TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products.
iTunes also contacts VeriSign servers during an iPhone restore and activation:
evintl-ocsp.verisign.com
evsecure-ocsp.verisign.com
For more information see Update and restore alert messages on iPhone and iPod touch
Temporarily disable or uninstall your security software
If the current available version of your security software is incompatible with iTunes, you can disable the security software and test if it is the source of the issue. It might also be necessary to temporarily uninstall security software after making sure you can reinstall it and note any required licenses. A temporary deinstallation might be required because parts of some security software remain active in the background though they appear to be deactivated.
To reduce any security risks that security software is designed to prevent, consider making sure all files needed to reinstall it are available and disconnect network connections before uninstalling security software. Should this not be possible, such as if a download without active security software is required, that required step should be the only process completed without security software. For assistance in checking your configuration, disabling, or uninstalling your security software, please contact the manufacturer.
Once disabled or uninstalled, perform only the steps required to verify your issue has been resolved. Complete whatever update, restore, syncing, back up, activation, or other task you were troubleshooting. Once that task is complete, install and configure compatible security software to ensure your PC is protected.
If it isn't a program or software on the computer contact your Internet Service Provider and/or Router Company to configure or disable the firewall in the router settings.
To isolate the issue to this you can also try disconnecting the router and plugging your computer directly in to the modem but this does not help for troubleshooting time-out issues directly on any apple mobile devices only if you are syncing or going through iTunes on the computer.

Ipod wont restore says uknown error 1418 [[HELP NEEDED]]

my ipod use to work then it stopped working one day
then i got it to work again somehow.
now it wont work again
i need help please. i have tried everything and done everything to try to fix my problem.
I'm in need of a genious

Yesterday I was getting the blinking green/amber lights with my shuffle (512Mb).
After I couldn't get it to reset (with 5 sec. on/off) I plugged it into the computer. Saw that iTunes 6.x wouldn't see it and tried to run the updater. No luck.
Figured it was as good a time as any to update to iTunes 7. Still no luck. It sees the iPod but says it needs to be restored. When I try, I get the error 1418.
So, I figured I'd attempt to see if I can find out what's going on. I boot up a Linux live CD and take a look at the drive partition tables. (Figuring I may just reformat the thing and either fix it, or at least end up with a 512Mb flash drive).
gParted sees the device (interestingly as 1019.75Mb - wondering if they all were the same, but just partitioned differently).
When I try to repartition, it fails when attempting to assign a drive label.
I then plugged an old 128Mb flash drive into another usb port and attempted to do a brute force copy:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
where /dev/sda was the 128Mb drive and /dev/sdb was the shuffle.
It failed with an Input/Output error at 0 bytes.
I found some others who seem to have had the same problem (drive just going bad out of nowhere) when I googled for "repartition ipod shuffle" (no quotes). Seems the flash drive can just go bad just sitting there. I'll keep trying, but I don't have my hopes up.
The new shuffle looks nice, but I can't say this leaves me very impressed. Mine was only about 15 months old (of course past warranty) and pretty gently used.
Shuffle 512 Windows XP Pro

Ipod wont restore and stuck in recovery?

My ipod nano screen says it needs to be restored. When start up i tunes it confirms i need to restore my ipod. however when restore is complete. It then says that my ipod is in recovery and needs to be restored. This loop continues.
I've tried the following
- restarting ipod
- changed drive
- reinstalled itunes
- deleted and reinstalled up
I'm forcedd to download the update each time it attemps to restore the ipod.
Can any advise as to what I should do next?

Hi I want to help people whose updated your ipod with the 01-06 version!! I have a big problem with my ipod(it can not be restored) but I did these steps and its really working like it did before.
Of course, you need not use the HP USB Disk Storage if your operation-system can full format your IPOD disk.
In that case, step 1), 6), 8), 10) are needless. If your operation-system can not finish the format job, just make these steps!!!
1) download and install HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool
2) make sure iPod video is disconnected
3) restart computer
4) after logged back into desktop you'll need to do one of 2 things
5) delete your newest version Itune, and try to find some older version Itune 7, any Itune 7 before 01-06 version.
6) bring up HP Formatter Tool
7) when format window is up plug iPod VIDEO using supplied USB cable
8) give both your computer and HP Formatter Tool some time to recognize your iPod VIDEO
8) now select format type of FAT32
9) click Format (it's better to not do a quick format so stick with default of full format)
10) after pop-up window appears notifying you that format is complete, close HP Formatter Tool
11) intall the older Itune 7 you downloaded
12) do full restore
13) the restore should have automatically updated your software but if it hasn't then run update.
14) everything should be fully operational now. if for some reason your iPod Nano or computer locked up some
good luck to you and who has the same problem that I had.

Need to restore and missing dbf file - help please

hi there,
im in a desperate situation so any advice would be welcome.
im running Oracle 9.2.4.6 on aix. 5.2
2 weeks ago i added a dbf file to one of the tablespaces , as a symbolic link. Im almost certain that this dbf file has not been used as there was still lots of space in the tablespace.
ive had 3 disk crash on me - which means i have had to do a full recovey , and then use the archive logs to roll forward.
but i have now discovered that this new dbf has not been backuped up because its a symbolic link.
so i dont think im going to be able to open the database, or roll forward.
(im still restoring the files so not had a chance to try it yet)
the disk crash means i have lost disk files and the system files.
am i able to recover from here if i need to. ie rebuild indexes and system
any other ideas?
thanks if you can help

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.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I downloaded version 4.3.2 for my ipod touch and now it wont restore and doesnt register

i downloaded the newest version of itunes on my laptop and now my ipod wont restore or even register on my computer and itunes gives me an error message but if i hook it up to my wifes desktop it will restore the ipod and wen i go to hook it up to my laptop to put music on it, it wont register and has the connect to itunes on the screen what do i do now?

I do not understand how the two can be related. Have you tried verifying/repairing the disk on your MacBook?

My ipod wont restore screen jus black

my ipod wont restore always different error everytime screen is jus blank

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

My ipod touch wont restore and its stuck in recovery mode

I have an Ipod touch 2g mc model and it started having problems. it crashed often when playing games (i even restart it after installs), it restarted when i went on to the internet and got SUPER slow, so tried restoring it. it got to the point where it said "Preparing the ipod for Restore" and then it said "unkown error occurred(1603). and its been stuck in recovery mode for a long time now and i cant get it out no matter what i do. How do i leave recovery mode a different way? please respond.
p.s. ive had multiple errors but my most recent one has been 1603. and now it keeps saying 1603.

My Dad just fixed my problem! He used blackra1n. at first it dint work but then he saved it to documents and then put it into the Local Disk thingy, then he clicked on it, clicked the Make It Rain button, and it took like 20-30 minutes or maybe less while it was saying Running. Then finally my ipod turned back on! it didnt lose anything! like, Nothing at all was lost. so yah, that was pretty cool.

My ipod wont start and itunes wont recodnize it, what happened and how do i fix it?

I recently went to: settings, general, reset, and erase all data and settings, now my ipod wont start and itunes wont recodnize it, what happened and how do i fix it?

- After being connected to a charging source for half an hour, reset the iPod and then connect to your computer and it if appears in iTunes restore the iPod via iTunes.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next see if recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:

HT201413 my ipod wont restore says an error occured (1)?

my ipod wont restore says an error occured (1)?

Hi missnaughty06,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It seems like your iPod can't be restored due to an "error 1" message, and you've found the article regarding resolving issues between iTunes and security software.
Be sure to follow the steps in that article to make sure that iTunes can communicate with your iPod. If you continue to see the error message, this article on restore errors suggests contacting Apple Support at this point:
Related errors: 1, 3, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 20, 21, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34, 35, 36, 37, 40, 1000, 1002, 1004, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1667, or 1669.
These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

All the best,

TS2771 my ipod touch 4th generation screen is frozen...

my ipod touch 4th generation screen is frozen on the charging screen even if I try to turn it off or unplug it. Non responsive to any button being pressed. Itunes and pc will not recognize device when plugged into it. How do I fix this?

Have you tried holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together at the same time long enough for the Apple logo to appear. This could take anywhere from 10 seconds to a minute, so don't give up too quickly. Otherwise, try the other suggestions in this Apple support document.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

My ipod wont restore

i have just downloaded the new software for my ipod touch and it has went into recovery mode, i have clicked on the restore button and then it came up with error 22, i then deleted my anti virus software as apple has said but it still wont restore, now it is coming up with error 21 and still wont restore and is still stuck in recovery mode. If anyone has had this problem and has sorted it can you please help me as I am about to go to the local apple store and give them a piece of my mind and demand my £225 back or throw the ipod out the window as it is now a useless piece of dung

Did you check your security software settings to provide contact to Apple during the restore process?
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125
If this does not work, try to delete the ipod software file located in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates to make iTunes download a new copy when you connect in recovery mode. Maybe the file stored on your PC is damaged.
Recovery mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
