Problems after restoring iPod touch

Hi again...sigh.... I had to restore my iPod touch since I had forgotten the pass code and after I restored it, I chose to restore everything from iCloud but I didn't remember my iCloud username and so now everything is gone! All my photos, games, and settings are gone. I'm thinking about getting somebody from Apple to help me get it back...if anyone has anything to say that's helpful in this situation, please voice it! I need serious help with this.

You user ID is an email address. Are you saying you used a different email address for your iClould account other than the ID/email address you used for purchasing apps/music?

Is there a way to find my Apple ID Name if I can't remember it?
Yes. Visit My Apple ID and click "Find out." See How to find your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

How to recover photos after restoring iPod touch?

Yesterday, there was an update for the iOS 6, I believe. When I pressed the update button, a message popped up saying that there was a problem with my iPod touch 4G and that I need to restore it. I had absolutely no idea why that message would pop up in the first place because my iPod was working just fine. But I couldn't update my iPod to the newest version if I didn't do what iTunes says... so I was about to restore my iPod, but then I was worried that all of my photos would disappear. So I decided to update my iOS later so that I could transfer all my files on to my computer. I then unplugged my iPod, and tried to turn it on but the home screen wouldn't pop - no matter what I did, all the screen showed was an itunes icon on top with a USB plug-in cord at the bottom. So I had no choice but to restore my iPod. The thing is, once I restored my iPod and all, my photos were all gone and I did not use iCloud as a back-up since a few months ago. All of my recent photos are now gone and I have no idea how to recover them. I've tried programs that aim to recover deleted photos, but they didn't work.
Is there a way to recover photos after restoring the iPod Touch?

Hello,
It is very important to backup your device to the computer before updating or restoring.
You can restore your device to a previous backup, all the photos that were there when you made the backup should return with it, but I'm afraid that any photos taken or saved after the last backup are unrecoverable.
I hope this helps.

Restoring Apps after restoring iPod Touch

I recently restored my wife's iPod Touch and when I hooked it back up to her laptop iTunes kept asking me to purchase the January update. I kept telling it no seeing as we had already purchased the update along with the apps back in January. I read on the forum how it should be restored using the computer that the Touch was first synched to. This solved the problem seeing as how I was using the newest laptop to do the restore. The problem is that her original laptop is close to failing which means at some point I won't be able to restore the apps if the need arises again. Is there some way to transfer the January update files and apps over to her new computer so that next time I should be able to do a restore without having to use the original laptop?

The iPod touch January Software Upgrade can only be synced to iPod touch from the primary iTunes library. If the user is manually managing music and video on iPod, this is the computer where they first set up the iPod or first set it up after restoring the iPod. The "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file can be copied from the computer where you purchased it to your primary iTunes library computer, and sync the iPod from there.
The file is located here:
Mac OS X:
~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Applications
Windows XP
C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
Windows Vista:
C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\\Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Applications\
Note: These locations are hidden by default in Windows. You can these locations by choosing "Show hidden files and folder" in the View tab of the Folder Options Control Panel.
Once you have copied the "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file to the computer with your home library, make a new folder named Mobile Applications in the correct location, and place the "iPod touch App Pack 4A93.ipa" file there. Open iTunes and sync your iPod touch.

Getting Purchased Apps after Restoring Ipod touch

I purchased apps previously but had to restore my ipod touch. After I restored it the apps and music I purchased through itunes was no longer there, and when I went back to them it tried to make me pay for them again. How do I re-download apps and music I already purchased without purchasing them again?

According to the iPod Touch User manual which you can find here:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_iOS4_UserGuide.pdf
To replace a deleted application:
On iPod touch: Purchase the app again (you won’t be charged).
In iTunes: Connect iPod touch to your computer, select iPod touch in the Devices list,
click Apps and select the checkbox next to the app, then click Apply.

After restoring iPod Touch to factory settings it's still connected to my account...?

I am going to sell my iPod Touch 5th Gen so I went on my laptop and restored it to factory default. I've done this before and it disconnected an iPod Nano from my account and I was able to sell it, but this time I got a message on my laptop saying "This iPod is linked to your Apple iD. Please activate"
Is there any way for me to disconnect it so it isn't linked to my ccount anymore? Thanks

Hi pluto,
Follow the instructions in this article. I think the main thing you need to do is to go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Content and Settings. This will turn off Find My iPhone and delete your iCloud account, which I think is the culprit here:
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Recovering music library after restoring iPod Touch

My uncle bought a used iPod Touch, which came with a bunch of music on it. At some point, it froze on him, and he restarted it, and then restored it. At that point, he lost all that music. He is hoping to get it back. I told him that the music is probably still on the drive but is just not showing up in iTunes. I've tried to rescue it using Disk Utility, but his iPod Touch doesn't even show up in my Disk Utility. Any ideas, or is he out of luck?

"He has no legal right to any music that was on the ipod when he bought it. He should not have the music in the first place."
That's not necessarily true. Music from CDs and the iTunes store is one thing, but now all music comes from those sources. There is a lot of music that is freely shared, royalty free, and not bound by any copyright or publishing, because that is how the musicians responsible for it want their music to be treated.
But regardless of the legality of the songs, if recovering files is an absolute impossibility on an iPod Touch, then you just helped me decide not to buy one. Thanks for the insight. I'll let my uncle know .

Problem to restore ipod touch 1656.

How can I solve this? I've tried everuthing that is said.
I reinstalled Itunes, and so on.
Please HELP!

Exactly. It appears that message that the ipod could not be restored.
Before that Itunes didn't even recognize the ipod, until I did some other things reading posts in Internt and I could make Itunes recognize it. But now, not even in other computer downloading Itunes it can be restored.
This happened after a software update was dowloaded, so I imagine it was that. But I don't know how to desintall that or do sth in order to make the ipod be able to use again. Thanks.

Been trying to restore Ipod touch for days after updating Itunes. Error code #9. Stuck on restore screen. Tried all the solutions posted. Tried on 2 computers, Vista + XP. No device shown on computer. Thanks Apple! Didn't have this problem before update. How about rolling back your update?

Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

after restarting and restoring ipod touch, display is still white screen. I have done this several times. One time, the display went to the home screen, but immediately went back to the white screen when I plugged it into the charge cord. The music continued to play however. help!

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

101 Problems with my iPod Touch and iTunes...Almost

It really feels like I have 101 problems with my iPod touch and iTunes.
For some time now my iPod Touch have been using alot of batterypower and the battery is often discharged very fast. It discharges alot faster now than when I brought the Touch.
Also when I plug the iPod Touch to my computer it doesn't charge, it does the oposite of that, it's disharges and it does that ALOT faster than normal
There is also a problem regarding connecting the iPod Touch to iTunes. It doesn't connect to iTunes directly after I have plugged it in. It feels really random and it lives it own life it seems like.
If I accomplish to connect ut to iTunes it doesn't sync every single time. The computer / iPod Touch hangs and nothing happens. Soemtimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, like I said before - It feels really random!
Now to a BBIIGG problem. A week ago my girlfriend changed my password on my iPod Touch. When she typed the password into the login screen, it failed, she had forgotten the password / she thought that she picked that password when she changed it. Anywho, I didn't panic becuase I knew that I could lock it up by iTunes.
But, iTunes gives me a error while trying to restore the iPod Touch saying that there is no update avaiable and after that nothing happens. I tried to do the Sleep / Power + Home trick to set the iPod Touch into a recovery mode but iTunes gave me a unknown error.
I tried to update iTunes from my version to the new 8.0 version but when I do so it gives me a error saying that iTunes.msi can not be found and it can't uninstall the previous version :S
So, now I have a unusable iPod Touch, I can't do nothing with it.
Like I said, It's really feels like I have 101 problems ;D.
Lucky I have my old iPod so I can listen to Music :P

Are you running windows xp or vista? I know the solution for vista but not for xp. My mate had the same problem but he has a vista.
Let me know what you are running.

Problems syncing the iPod touch

My iPod Touch synced fine at first, but now all I get is an error message
"The iPod (xxx)cannot be synced. The disk could not be read from or written to." What am I doing wrong? I have tried resetting it, restarting it. Now tempted to 'relocate' it into the garbage .... Help!

I am having a similar problem with my iPod Touch. I have a fairly full iPod with 16Gb. capacity. I sync calendars, contacts music video and podcasts. For some reason when I include my selection of photos I get "This iPod cannot be synced. Unknown error -50."
If I leave the photos out it seems to work. Also, I have tried a restore, and now I have lost my notes ( I have the January software update)
Any ideas what is going wrong?
