Problems after trying to restore my ipod touch

i bought my ipod touch from my brother and when i tried to restore the ipod to the factory settings the screen froze and now its froze on the apple logo screen with a line across the top and itunes will not recognize it plz help

Did you try to reset the device by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
If this does not work, try to connect in recovery mode, explained here: iOS: Unable to update or restore

    I have been trying to restore my ipod touch for several weeks.  The ipod is on the usb-itunes screen but the computer will not recognize it.  I have tried three different laptops and am now very frustrated.  I have also tried several different usb connectors. 

    Try putting the iPod in DFU Mode vs. Recovery Mode.

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT1212 I'm trying to restore an iPod touch.

    I'm trying to restore an iPod touch that has been locked out and iTunes says "The iPod software update server could not be contacted.  Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later."

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • HT1414 I am trying to restore my Ipod touch 5 generation but I am receiving an error message that says  your Ipod can not be restored you need your password I don't know my password so I don't know what to do. I have started the procedures 3 times but no

    If it is asking for the screen-lock passcode then:
    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.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    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.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    Otherwise follow varjak paw recommendation

    after itunes finishes restoring my ipod touch 8gb, itunes still says itunes has detected an ipod touch recovery mode. You must restore it before using it with itunes. and i dont know what to do

    Are you sure it is 1043? I've never seen that error before. But you can try disabling your security software, connecting the phone to a USB port directly on the computer (not a hub), and trying to restore again.

  • I tried to restore my iPod Touch 2nd generation and now it won't sync to itunes.  on the screen it shows the usb end of the cord and the iTunes logo over it.  Is it broken?

    I tried to restore my ipod touch 2nd generation  and now it won't sync to itunes.    On the screen is the USB end of the cord and the iTunes logo over it.
    I have turned it off and on,  held the off button down and  the select button down but it still comes up with that picture on the screen.    Have I broken it?
    Please help.
    Mimi

    It means the device is in recovery mode.  You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
    You may need to connect it in recovery mode manually using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • TS3694 I am trying to restore my ipod touch 4g, but I keep getting errors

    I am trying to restore my iPod Touch 4G, and first I got error 3194, or 1394 (something like that) but now I got 2003, and I cant figure out what that means!

    Error 21 also says:
    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 37
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Note the " If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service."

  • I'm getting the apparently "deadly" error 3149 when trying to restore my Ipod Touch 4g

    A few days ago I tried to update my Ipod Touch (4th Generation) to the newest software. I pressed update and the apple logo with a loading bar underneath it appeared then the bar got about halfway and all of the sudden went into recovery mode. I followed some steps online to get it out of recovery mode, didn't work. So then I decided to just restore it. I tried restoring directly from Itunes but Itunes never finished the download (tried 3 times). Each time it gave me a different error. So I downloaded the 0.6.1 firmware online (*though it was a 840mb download and the file only says it's 839mb, weird)and tried using the Shift + Restore method. It extracted it then said "Verifying" then gave me the error 3149. I went online, yet again and followed some steps dealing with the "Hosts" file. No luck. I've also tried putting it in DFU mode, no luck.
    I should also mentioned that my Ipod is Jailbroken. It was given to me like that when I got it for my B-Day. I never use anything with Cidia or whatever so I think Jailbreaking is pretty useless but I think this is worth mentioning because it could be what's causing the problem, but I don't know if it has anything to with it for sure. I've been told that restoring it will get rid of the stupid Jailbreak but I can't restore it now can I?
    Please give me some advice, any advice that I haven't tried already would be helpful. I just want to actually use my Ipod! Why's it so hard to do things?!?
    Also, no idea what operating system it was before the craziness happened. I can't check right now either. :/

    Did you mean 3194

  • HT201210 am getting an ''unknown error (1)'' when trying to restore my iPod touch, what is the solution

    I restored my ipod touch (old version, silver back cover) but after erasing all the memory in it, Itunes showed me an error message ......The Ipod ''Ipod'' could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1)....What is the problem or how can I resolve this error?? please assist!!

    This usually indicates a hardware problem.
    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
