My itouch gets stuck in restore

I recently purchased the 2.1 upgrade for my itouch, and when I attempt to restore it, it keeps getting stuck in the same stage. It gets all the way to about 4/5 of the way through, "restoring software" and just stops. Can someone please help me?

Disconnect the iPod
Reboot the computer
Try again. Place the iPod in  Recovery Mode  if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • My iPod get stuck in restore mode!

    It gets stuck here. Everytime! Someone, please help!

    By the looks of his iOS firmware and the current for this device, he was probably doing some "Unauthorized modification". @lllaass is right for what you are going to have to do. (If you aren't planning on "Unauthorized Modification" Stop reading) But you should be able use http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ "redsn0w" first to save off your blobs so you can restore to your current firmware. In redsn0w... Extras>SHSH>Fetch. Then use google to read up on how to restore to your current firmware.

  • HT201263 My ipod keeps getting stuck while restoring. There has been no progress on the progress bar even after hours of waiting. Help!

    My ipod touch is having trouble restoring. Ive followed all the steps that have been suggested for restoring trouble shooting.
    I have the latest itunes, tried restoring it on different computers, but it always seems to get stuck when itunes is restoring the ipod.
    The apple icon shows up with the progress bar, but hours later there is still no progress and change in the status. Itunes says waiting for ipod and nothing changes. Im frustrated that nothing seems to help. I really just want to restore it to factory settings so it can work again, I dont even care anymore whether i get any of my old music or photos back. Does anyone have any helpful suggestions? Or know how long it should take to restore?

    Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restoreing.
    Next try DFU mode

    how i can fix it??
    there was some problem with my hardware?
    thanks a lot

    Welcome to the discussions,
    if you connect your ipod to itunes and look at the colored info bar at the bottom of the window, does it show different colors or just one orange "other" part? As you got errors while syncing, there might be corrupt data files on your ipod filling it up. Try to restore again to get rid of the great orange part. After that the "other" section should be reduced to max. of 500MB or less.

  • IPhone gets stuck at restore iOS5

    my iphone gets hung up at "preparing iPhone for restore" then runs error 1603?????

    If you've not previously backed it up, your data is already lost. Try this method:
    Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

  • My IPAD2 is stuck on restoring ipad firmware. Whereas, I had unplugged it several times to restore it again; however my IPAD is stuck on the iTunes logo. Please what should I do to restore or get my IPAD working normal again. Please advise,

    Hi there,
    my Ipad is stuck on the iTunes logo. When I try to restore my ipad again it would get stuck on Restoring Ipad Firmware. I had unplugged it several times; and redo the whole restoring agian but its still the same thing. Please really need your help in how I can restore my Ipad to the way it was before.
    please advise,
    Alvin

    removing volume control doesn't work for me. please don't try. I tried because i have replaced my LCD before and it is easier for me to do so. Removing your LCD will cause whole lot more issue, such as damage to your WIFI antenna, power and volume button, LCD, and all kind of issue.
    The only solution that "experts" can tell you is to restore via DFU mode and this WILL NOT solve the issue, or restore with save SHSH, which i believe most of you don't have. DON"T WASTE YOUR TIME AND GET A DEVICE THAT YOU CAN REALLY "WIPE" AND "RESTORE".
    So far there is no solution to fix the "Restoring IPAD firmware" or "Updating IPAD firmware". I really don't know why Apple is adding the check after IOS 7 which is causing so many issues for ipad 2. I guess the reason behind is because the warranty expire and perfect time to force ipad 2 user to buy new ipad, which I personally don't feel like much improvement.  WHY WE NEED APPLE approves when restoring the device that we already paid FULL price for?????
    It is ashamed that the issue caused by update or restore are not covered by warranty too. so stay away from new IOS and it will only brick your device and force you to get new device. it is opened secret that new upgrade for any device will ONLY slow down your device and force you to buy new one, especially when new IOS is not making your FLY.

  • My apple TV 3 is stuck in recovery. When connected to iTunes through microUSB, it gets stuck in "Preparing Apple TV for restore", then after what seems forever, it gives me an error 2003. What can be done?

    I tried to update my Apple TV today through iTunes using a microUSB. It gave me an error, I tried again and now it is stuck in recovery mode. If I plug it into the TV, it just shows that I have to connect it to iTunes (just the picture). I unplug everything, plug the microUSB and USB, plug the power, open iTunes, it shows, asks me to restore, I click Restore. It starts extracting the file, finishes, then gets stuck in "Preparing Apple TV for restore..." for what seems forever, when it finally times out, I get an error number 2003. I have tried different USB ports, no other USB device is connecte, I have tried restarting the PC (running windows 7, up to date, iTunes up to date as well), I have tried redownloading the IPSW and even using the shift+restore and manually selecting the .IPSW file, and to be honest, I give up! If anyone can help, I'd truly appreciate it. Thanks!
    PS: I also tried pressing menu+down for 6 seconds to restart, I tried pressing menu+play to restart, I tried pressing menu+down 6 secs and then menu+play 6 seconds for the so called DFU mode, nothing works, the Apple TV just restarts back to the "connect to itunes picture" along with the fast continuous white light flashing.

    A Restore first downloads a new copy of iOS to your computer. On a slow Internet connection this can take a long time. How fast is your connection? How long would you expect it to take to download 900 MB?
    That's assuming nothing is interfering with the download. Some firewalls and antivirus programs will block the download or slow it down. So you should temporarily disable your security software. Security software can also block the update after the iOS download is complete.

    I have tried to hold the "home" and "power" button to reboot
    I have tried powering it off
    I have tried, to unplug the cable, hold the "home" button and then plug it in.
    Can't check the SN or warranty, cause it is stuck in restore mode.
    Is the hard drive gone? Should there be something replaced.

    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Usually this is caused by your antivirus or firewall blocking iTunes access to the Internet. It can also occur if the phone is jailbroken or if the computer you are using was ever used to jailbreak an iDevice.
