Newly Bought ipod touch restore/recovery troubles

First of all I have no hardware what so ever on the ipod touch. I cant even view anything on it. I have downloaded the 2.2. So I when I finished downloading I clicked restored and on the ipod touch A downloading bar came up. For 10+ minutes its slowly went up and now 100%. It just stayed there in the "waiting for iPod" on the computer even though 100% on ipod.
When I remove ipod and connect again
it says
"iTunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes"
I click "OK"
Then restore.
This pops up:http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x.../untitled2.jpg
I click restore and update.
It then pops up
extracting software
then
Preparing ipod for restore
Then waiting for ipod with a download bar ON THE IPOD ITSELF

Have you tried a reset using the Sleep/Awake - Home button combo?
I had some trouble with the 2.2 update last evening, and was able to clear it all up. Where are you plugging in iPod into? USB on the PC (case, etc.) or a hub? I had my Touch running OK on my powered hub, but had to move it back to the PC port last evening after the botched update.
Seems if it's connected in the right place, iTunes discovers the issue (and the iPod) and you should be able to restore the iPod. I've got 2.2 running fine today.

Not Charge

- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- If a 5G iPod

- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

and
try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

I bought ipod touch 4G from dubai but i stay in india. facetime is missing from my ipod. how should i get it?

i bought ipod touch 4G from dubai but i stay in india. facetime is missing from my ipod. how should i get it? people pls help.

omijh,
It will not work no matter how many times you choose to restore your iPod touch. If it is blocked than it is blocked. So prern do not restore your iPod. It will take up your time and will be a waste. Listen to stedman1 and Dave Sawyer. An by the way, Facetime is available on iOS 4...so again you are wrong.

HT1766 i just bought iPod touch 8GB put it in iTune and it show only 34Mb available. and it been use 6.2GB (other on Summery) no App. sync. I don't have enough space to sync any application!?

I just bought iPod touch 8GB put it in iTune and it show only 34Mb available. and it been use up 6.2GB show from the iTune Summery as "OTHER 6.2 GB" so I don't have enoght space to sync any much application for my kids. How do i do? I already make sure it has no Picture, songs ...all only app that come with the factory default. How do I do? or something wrong..
I got iPhone and another ipod touch (32GB) but it has a lot of space available...I just can't fix it out what OTHER 6.2GB used came from?

Other can be files that the iPod has "lost" or can no longer recognise.
So either you bought this second hand and it had someone else's stuff on it, or you were unlucky and the first Sync of your iPod to iTunes resulted in a lot of "Other".
Conect the iPod to iTunes and on the Device/Summary pane (tab) look for and select the Restore button.

I bought iPod Touch 14.5 gb 2.21 (5H11a) a few years ago. Due to unexpected life issues, I was unable to take it out of the box, until May 2013. I set it up as much as I could. However, it won't upgrade. I keep getting -1 error. Suggestions please...

Error -1
Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
From:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

How to restore ipod touch in recovery mode with passcode in itunes

StylStyle
My ipod touch went to recovery mode after I tried to reset its network settings. I tried to connect it to itunes but it does not want to connect because I have a passcode and my ipod touch wont let me enter it so I could unlock it. Can somebody help me please? Thanks so much!

Placing the iPod in DFU mod and then restoring usually resove the passcode problem.

However, you may have othr problems since it went into recovery mode unexpectidly. Try restoring to factory defaults/new iPod if necessary.

IPod touch in recovery mode but there are no backups for the restore

I recently switched from a Mac to a PC. When I connected my iPod touch to the PC, it errored trying to do a backup and no backup was created. My iPod is now in recovery mode and when I try to restore I get this error message: 'The iPod "iPod" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (6).' What can I do?

Did you try to reset the ipod by holding the sleep and home button until you see the Apple logo?
Is your ipod charging if you use the adapter? If yes, charge it and try again to connect in recovery mode.
In order to pass the passcode you'll have to restore your ipod "as new ipod" because the passcode info is saved in your backup. Restoring and backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

Ipod touch nano recovery and restore loop even after changing drive letter twice!

iPod Touch Nano
Software version: 1.2
OS: Windows 7 32bit
iTunes version: 10.6
I can't restore or do anything with my iPod nano touch. I followed instructions and the KB (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1493#changedrive) that recommended changing the drive letter in Windows. I changed the drive twice, restarted the machine, followed the instructions to restore after the recovery message, but still nothing. I even uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes.
I also reset the iPod multiple times (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320), which is the last step recommended in the final KB article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1441
This is very frustrating and a pretty poor software design by Apple! I am pretty sure my drive letter is free.
I also tried my Macbook Pro but still same issue.
Any other ideas to what I can do to fix this or do I need to go to the Apple store to fix this at this point?
Many thanks

UPDATE:
While the iPod Nano would not even turn on in the two computers I tried earlier at home (and posted above about), when I plugged it in on my work computer (PC, Windows 7), the iPod Nano turned on fine as a brand new set up on this computer's iTunes and now it is working.
Very strange that it would crap out at home every time even though I changed the drive letter and followed all the other instructions.
I have to yet check if I can sync at home or not or if it will ask me to restore again!

Hi kfresh
Their some problems with my ipod touch
- After sync sometimes he loses all music on the ipod
- Another problem itunes or the ipod doesn’t sync new music (bought in the itunes store, in itunes and ipod nano it runs fine), the new music is on the ipod but i cant play it.
- I have tried some user profiles on my windows xp system, always the same thing
(test with different user application data, check for a config error)
After a recovery, he put all songs on the ipod touch, they are complete..
Since today the recovery doesn’t run and my ipod touch is in maintenance mode.

Help with iPod Touch in recovery mode

I am trying to help my sister with her daughter's iPod touch. The end goal is to update to iOS6. It is a fourth gen iPod Touch. I plugged it into iTunes (iPod was still iOS V4.something or other) and it said there was an update availalbe. I clicked Download and Update. Got a message about the update deleting all the apps since this iPod had been synced with another computer (my sister has a new computer since she last synced the iPod -- the old computer is no longer available). I cancelled out of the update and did a transfer purchases and then backed up the iPod. I then started the iOS 6 update again. It downloaded the update and then it said "backup up iPod." At that point I left so I don't know what happened after that but it is now saying that iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. My question is this: if we let it do the restore (which is the only option), will I be able to go back into iTunes and restore from the backup that I took MANUALLY (not the backup that it did as part of the iOS 6 update)?
Thanks.
Lisa

Yes, you will be able to restore from the backup you previously made. See:
