Please help. Ipod has black battery and keeps saying need to restore via Itunes.. but when I restore it goes back to the way it was...
Please can somebody help me.
My iPod keeps saying I need to connect to iTunes and restore.
I have done that, but then it says it has been restored and then reverts back again to same message.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Unfortunately, it is possible that the iPod's hard drive has become faulty. No matter how many time you Restore it, iTunes sees something wrong with the iPod's storage the next time, and asks you to Restore it again.
There is one more thing I can think of, that you can try.
Put the iPod into Disk Mode again. With iTunes NOT running, reformat the iPod's disk like it was an external drive, using the Windows command. Make sure you are selecting the iPod's disk for formatting. Select the format type of "FAT." If there is an option for a "quick" format, do not use it; do a "full" format. If there is a physical problem on the hard drive, this formatting attempt may fail. If it succeeds, run iTunes and do another Restore. (Even if it does not prompt you this time, you need to do a Restore so that iTunes can re-install the iPod's onboard software.)

I connected my friends ipod to my laptop whilst I was playing some songs and closed whatever came up on the screen from itunes. Next thing I know his ipod has been wiped and we can't find his music. How do we get his music back? He hasn't got his laptop anymore so the only music he has was on his ipod.
Hasn't he got a backup of his content on external drives and/or CDs or DVDs ?

The problem is your friend's music does not belong to you. It is owned by your friend.
I'm afraid you cannot do what you are trying to do. Restoring the iPhone is what you would have to do.
In the future, put your music on the computer and transfer it to the iPhone, not the other way. -
iphone 4 is not recognized by itunes and is only on emergency mode, keeps telling me to connect to itunes but when I connect iphone to computer it does not recognize it
Did you try recovery mode? Hold down the home button as you connect it to iTunes. iTunes should pop up a window that says "iTunes has detected a device in recovery mode" and give you the option to restore.

my ipod got disabled and it says to connect it to itunes but the computer i use got reset so it lost all the memory of itunes and i re downloaded it and it says it cant connect my ipod to itunes because i need to put the pass code in on the ipod but it wont let me because its disable some one help me out.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

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.

My Ipod and Ipod touch both sync and update latest CD music added to Itunes, however when I connect my Iphone it wont sync my most recent CD addition to iTunes?
I have my iTunes settings to prevent my iPod from synching automatically.
Open iTunes (without the iPod Touch connected) , go to "iTunes"--->"Preferences"--->"Devices", select the box that says "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from synching automatically", select "OK".
I would then close iTunes and then reopen it. Verify that the settings you just changed are intact.
Log into the iTunes store and update any Apps that you may have purchased.
Connect the iPod Touch via USB with iTunes open. You will see the icon on the left side under "Devices" as normal, however it will not automatically sync.
Click on the "Device" in iTunes and from there you can manually adjust all the items you want to sync and then select sync when you are ready.
I sync mine this way because I feel it gives me more control over the syncing process. Also, I always log into the iTunes store first, check for updates to my Apps and then connect the iPod to manually sync.
So, to me, I guess that perhaps is a way to "force" the sync but in a controlled manner.
I hope that helps. -
I just got a iphone 4s and it's registered as a Ipod...how do I get it back to the way it was?
As deggie said, you are the victim of Activation Lock. Activation Lock is described here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695
Either you need to contact the previous owner to release the phone from Find My iPhone, or if you cannot contact the previous owner, it is likely you received a stolen iPhone and it will be useless to you. -

I got the IOS 7.1 update and I don't like it. Is there any way that I can remove the update and return my software back to the way it was before I got the update?
Please, I really wnat to change my phone's sofeware back to IOS 7.0.6. I really don't like the IOS 7.1
PLEASE HELP ME BEFORE THE IOS 7.1 DRIVES ME INSANE!Even though it wasn't me who started this thread i would like to say that i hate iOS 7.1 too
They're back! The IOS haters.
When you get a call it has some small icons of reminding and message and one white ugly "slide to answer" bar.*** seriously?
People complained about the green bar in IOS 7.0.3. You can't please everyone with everything. Deal with it and move on. Or you can just get a Droid phone and suffer through the bizarre interface changes.
A lot of people would really appreciate a release with the old interface back.
People complained about every interface change that Apple has tried. As I said earlier, you can't please everyone with everything. The interface is what it is, learn it, deal with it, or move on to something more to your liking. I think they still make flip phones. -

My iPad conveys that it is disabled, and that I need to connect to iTunes. When I connect to iTunes I get a message that I need to enter my pass code and open my Ipad, but I don't get the screen to open with a password. How do I fix this?
You will need to restore it. It may not sync, but the iPad's sidebar has to appear you can restore it and it will be as the last time ou synced it to iTunes. For more info:
