PLEASE HELP ME!! i need info off of my touch for my senior classes. and i cant get onto the main screen so i can get into my Note Pad.

Welcome to the discussions,
see this article about error 1604 in the "Specific error codes and resolutions" section, check your USB drivers and security software settings. You might have to connect in recovery mode if this does not help. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Try plugging your ipod into your computer. Then start up itunes. Let it load everything. Then click on your ipod and play a song from your ipod's library. Not your itunes library. If it plays the song, then go ahead and stop it, disconnect your ipod, and check the content once again.
I had the same problem and beleive it or not, this worked. I synced my ipod like 5 times before finding this answer on the web. Let me know if I need to clerify anything.

I charged my iPod on my computer, and now iTunes gives me a message that I need to "restore" my iPod, but that if I "restore" it, I will lose all my settings. I don't even use itunes on my iPod. What can I do?

I only use my ipod touch for downloading audio books with Overdrive and do not use itunes on it. Today I charged my ipod on my mac, and my mac screen now tells me that itunes has detected that my ipod is in "recovery mode" and I need to "restore" my ipod, but the message warns that if I "restore" my ipod, I will lose all my settings and be back to factory settings. All that shows up on my ipod screen is the itunes logo and a charging cord. I would be so grateful for some help.

When in recovery mode you can't backup the iPod.
You will have to restore via iTunes. See:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

Hello kevin
Check out the article below to guide you to the proper article to get your iPod shuffle to show up. You will need to see if it shows up on your computer as a device in My Computer section in Windows Explorer. Then it will help you pick the right one.

My itunes store is saying that it could not contact the server, it says i need to restore my ipod but when i go to restore it, it says the server could not be contacted or something. what does this mean?

okay so last night i went to charge my ipod in the computer and it started working then i took it out of the computer and put it on a wall charger and it had a spasm attack and shut itself down, after that it said i had to connect it to itunes so when i did it kept telling me that i need to restore my ipod, but when i press restore the itunes said "the contact server is not avalible" or something similar to that, what does that actually mean and is there anyway i can fix my ipod. i have dropped my ipod a few times, on tiles, wood, in a gutter of water when it fell out my pocket but im also wondering is it something to do with my ipod or is it itunes?

Try:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
The abuse may prevent a restore or prevent proper operation of the iPod if you can restore the iPod.

What do I do about this message? I've restored it 3 times, but this message still comes up, and i cannot put music on it now.

Sounds like your iPod is broken. Take it to Apple or someone else who repairs iPods and see if you can get it fixed, or get it replaced.

I have an old ipod. It worked great until about 2 months ago and now it says I need to restore my ipod but I can't unless I format it, but everytime I try, it says the format could not be completed. Is there anything else I can do to get it to work again?

No app is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

When you restore via iTunes iTunes will download the firmware(ipsw) file. It could be that the microwave damaged the iPod and iTunes does not know what it is.

Need Urgent help please? I need to restore from a previous iphone backup.

Oops, I admit it - I messed up but need help please?? I received a replacement iphone today. My broken iphone OS and my itunes had the latest software updates and I did a full backup before going to the store to get the rerplacement. However, when I got home with the replacement iphone and plugged it in, it asked if I wanted to update the OS on it. I made the mistake of saying yes. It then made a backup of the empty factory settings from the new replacement and restored from that rahter than the backup I made before going to the store. Yes I know I should have said no and just did the restore which would have resotred my previous backup that I made before going to the store. Then after everything would be allright I could have told it to update the OS.
You can slap my in the face or I will do it myslef for making such a stupid mistake. All ready did the "I should have had a V" thing to my forehead.
After seeing the restore was fromthe factory settings rather than my earlier good backup, I went into my documents and drilled down to the mobile sync backup and saw that one of the three folders (with giberish as a title) has a lot of information with the date and time I did the backup before going to the store.
Could I possibly delete the later (factory setting backup) folder and then do a restore to get my good backup onto the iphone? I didn't do that yet in fear that it might mess something else up on the iphone and I wanted to check with you experts here first for guidance and assistance, PLEASE?
I'll be anxiously awaiting any help you can give!
Thank you!!

Hopt and OneOrangeTree, Thank you both very much for replying!!
It took me a long time to get back to the dissucison group because I tried both of your suggestions which therfore had to do about 4 restores. They take quite a while (about 50 minutes each actually). Your help got me half way there and is very apprecaited! I did manage (with your excellent help) to get most of my backup put onto the replaced iphone. the photos, music, and videos didn't get put over. I think I can move those back over by making sure they are selected in the seperate tabbed screens for the iphone. However, I can't get to those screens because every time I connect the iphone now, it brings up the "set up your phone screen". The one with the "an iphone has been previously synced with this compter" setup as new phone or restore from ....
Well I did the resotre from 3 times and that page still comes up when I plug in the iphone. Yes, I did close itunes, reboot the PC, and powered off the iphone and then brouhgt it back up before connecting (all several times), but itunes still takes me to the same "setup iphone screen".
Can you help me to get it to the standard iphone screen and there I will make sure the selected items are checked and do a sync.
Please know I do appreicate your kind assistance so far and hope someone can get me the rest of the way!
The "Backup" do not store your Applications, Music, Video's. It saves your settings, your application preferences, etc.

My iPod restarts after I eject it, and every time I plug it in iTunes tells me I need to restore my iPod. Can anyone help me out?

So as the title says, I need help with this. I've been trying to find a solution for hours.

Just place it in recovery mode again and continue. After some time the iPod will go out of recovery mode. It can also take a longtime to download the firmware needed for the restore.

Please help - I needed to restore my computer - All iTunes songs gone

My system recently was infected by a virus and I needed to restore my entire computer. I had about 250 songs in my iTunes library. I still have these songs in my ipod nano. I reinstalled iTunes, but of course, now it is empty. I don't want to sync my Nano because than I will lose all 250 songs that I have on my Nano. Is there any way at all to get around this problem? Please advise.

Yes, you can get the songs off your iPod. This question gets asked a lot.

ns.pause();

            ns.resume();
            t.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timeHandler);
            t.stop();
The problem is when I test it on my computer it works but when I upload it to my phone it freezes when I click Sets Anteriores button.
Please help me with this problem I dont know what else to do.
thank you

My first guess is you're simply generating an error. You'll always want to load this on your device in quick debugging over USB so you can see any errors you're generating.
Outside that, if you plan on accessing anything inside the SWF you should be loading the SWF into the correct context. Relevant sample code:
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain;
context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.[your_domain_here].com/library.swf");
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.load(urlReq, context);

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ActionScript/3.0_ProgrammingAS3/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9 b90204-7de0.html
If you're doing this on iOS you'll need to stripped SWFs if you plan on using any coding (ABC) inside the files. You mentioned iOS so I won't get into that here, but just incase, here's info on stripping external SWFs:
