  • IPod Nano 2nd Gen won't restore

    The thing took a crap on me the other night, and now it won't work at all. There is no music on it anymore. When I try formatting it through Windows, it says the format could not be completed, and I've tried all the "R"s that are humanly possible with the iPod in its current state, but nothing is working. When I go into iTunes, it says, "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore the iPod before it can be used with iTunes," but restoring it just gets me back to the same screen. I've tried formatting it via Windows, I've tried every USB port, and I've changed the directory letter, but none of it works. And before it gets suggested, no, I will not just go buy another. I don't care that it's outdated; the one I have worked perfectly fine for several years, and that after my sister used it and it was fine for several years.

    Well whether you want to admin it or not there appears to be a hardware malfunction with the device meaning you can either have it repaired or replaced. 
    Have you tried restoring it another PC or Mac to help rule out of a software conflict on your current PC?

  • Nano (2nd generation) won't recognize toggle switch

    My iPod Nano (2nd generation) won't recognize the toggle switch. I've done ALL of the suggested remedies...reboot...restore factory settings...reboot plugged into a power source....nothing works.
    iTunes recognizes the Nano (thus I was able to restore factory settings) and I'm able to manipulate all of the settings while in iTunes, but the Nano doesn't seem to recognize the toggle switch. I after rebooting, I can get to the first screen asking which language, but the lock icon is showing that it's in the locked position no matter how much I toggle it on and off. Since the toggle is always in the locked position, the only thing I can do with the scroll wheel is reboot.
    I have no idea what to try next.
    Help?

    Sorry I could not have brought better news. I still have an 80 GB iPod Video that I feel the same about!

  • My nano 6th gen won't restore

    my nano 6th gen won't restore keeps asking me to restore.
    any ideas what i can do to break this cycle?

    Are you using the latest version of iTunes and have all the latest Windows updates and patches installed?  It might not hurt to try plugging the iPod into a different USB port, preferably a high powered 2.0 one on the back of your PC.
    See here for more troubleshooting.

  • My iphone 3g won't restore because of an error 1015. Can you help me please

    my iphone 3g won't restore because of an error 1015. Can you help me please

    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.
    The above comes from this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    Do not try to downgrade the version of iOS you have.

    Just in case (even though your symptoms aren't explicitly mentioned in the document), let's check to see if there's a LSP problem in play here:

  • This is my iphone 4  ECID: ********, now restore or update showing error code 1 what can i do now?

    this is my iphone 4  ECID: ******, now restore or update showing error code 1 what can i do now?

    From the article:
    Error 1 means that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
    1.Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
    2.Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
    3.Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    4.If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

  • Ipod nano (2nd generation) won't play any sound

    as the title says, my ipod nano (2nd generation) wont play any sound. the songs still play just fine, but no sound or very little sound is coming out. i've tried different headphones, none of them working. and then i attempted using my speakers which worked at the highest volume of both the ipod and the speakers, but very little sound came out and it sounded fuzzy.
    after this, i reset my ipod, then restored it, and still no sound. so i reset the ipod again, making sure that everything under the setting was correct for the sound. i even tried putting the clicker on "headphones" and that didnt work either. it connects to the computer fine and has a fully charged battery.
    help please?
      Windows Vista  

    thank you for your suggestions, but everything seems to be working normally except the sound coming out of the ipod. i reset the volume limit and nothing. also, there was no volume limit in the summary tab.
    again, thank you for your help... any other suggestions/ideas?

  • My iPod nano 2nd edition has died on me. I can press on menu and centre of the wheel and the apple logo comes on for seconds, then I get a glimpse of the menu list then the screen goes dead. What can I do? Can anyone help please?

    MY iPod Nano 2nd generation iPod has died on me. I've charged it both by connecting to my laptop and also separately. I press the centre wheel and menu and the apple logo appears for a few seconds, then I get a glimpse of the menu then it disappears again. I have tried everything even leaving it plugged into the power for about four hours but it made no difference. What can I do?

    Probably not a good sign especially given the age of the device.  Are you able to get it into Disk Mode long enough so that you can restore it in iTunes?

    Otherwise, it might be time to have the iPod serviced or replaced.

  • My iTouch won't restore. iTunes keeps stating Error 1604 we can't restore you iTouch. What do I do?

    I have had this iTouch for a long time and it has never done this before. my iTouch still has the 'connect to iTunes' picture on it. Everytime I try to restore it, it says Error 1604 afterwards. I can't reset my iTouch or even turn it off because the button on the top won't work. Please help me?

    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.
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

    If necessary:

  • Nano 3rd Gen won't restore...

    I have a Nano 3rd Generation, and it is on a windows computer with Windows 7 (32-bit).
    A couple of days ago the iPod stopped working.  The suggestion was to Restore the iPod.  It never has come back online.
    I've been working at my computer all morning.  I have uninstalled all apple related software...in the order requested in one of the service bulletins.
    All software was downloaded and installed successfully.  I plugged the iPod into the USB 2.0 jack, and the drivers installed properly.
    But, when I reconnect the iPod to the computer (Windows 7), I continue to have the loop telling me that the unit must be restored...it is waiting for the iPod...etc.
    Eventually, I received an error code: 2005. 
    I did not see any further suggestions.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    After an additional restart...maybe the 5th or 6th one...the iPod is synchronizing.  Back in business.

  • IPod nano 6th generation won't restore

    my iPod nano 6th gen, is locked in some kind of restore loop.  It says it's restarting after the restore, and after the iPod screen goes from do not disconnect to the Apple logo temporarily, the screen goes back to the restore screen, and iTunes says it needs to be restored.  What do I do now?

    We had to replace ours and it seems to have fixed the issue, so unfortunately, it does sound like a hardware issue.  The thing that ***** the most is that I had the first one engraved for my wife as a "birth" gift, and when you replace something, they don't give you the option to get the replacement engraved.
