Restore Ipod - not working?

When I plug my ipod into my pc it's saying that the ipod is in recovery mode and i order to use it I have to restore it.
No problem with that so follow the icons to restore it and complete that.
The status bar on the ipod fills and the ipod restarts. When it reconnects with the pc I get the same message - that I have to restore the ipod, which I did but still the same.
I also tried resetting the ipod using the menu and select buttons together - this had no effect either.
Can anyone advise if there is anything further I can do?
Many thanks for you help guys,
Rich

Many thanks, had the same problem and now all working perfectly.
Shame the iTunes troubleshooting doesn't provide the same level of help. By the time I had found this discussion area I had already wiped my iPod memory and wasted hours following the 5Rs.

Restore iPod not working...please help!

I plugged in my nano recently to be met with this message "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore it before it can be used with iTunes." So I clicked on the 'restore' button in iTunes. I go through the restore process and it tells me "Your iPod has been restored to factory settings, and is restarting. Please leave the iPod connected, and it will appear in the source list once it completes the restore process". The ipod never appears in the source list and iTunes gives me the original message that it has detected an iPod in recovery mode and that I need to restore it! What is going on???!?!??!

Not able to sign into Blackberry Protect. Backup and Restore function not working. "Your device isn't associated with a Blackberry ID"

Not able to sign into Blackberry Protect. Backup and Restore function not working. Message is: "Your device isn't associated with a Blackberry ID." My Blackberry Messenger and Blackberry World is working fine so I am sure its not an ID issue on the phone. I can sign into Link, Blackberry.com and Protect. I see my device in Protect but cannot send messages or view it on a map. Times out with cannot reach device message. BB Protect on Device has a swirling circle beside the on/of switch. Cannot turn off.
I have deleted Link and re-installed.
I have reset phone to default(factory) and signed in.
OS level is 10.2.1.3062
BB Link is 1.2.3.56
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I managed to figure this out myself. I had to delete the device from the Blackberry Protect website. protect.blackberry.com. I wiped my device again and signed in with my Blackberry ID. I dont know if the step of wiping was necessary as I did not try my backup with the current configuration on the device following the delete. Restore is in progress for me!

Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

What if you have a situation where Restore did not work. I do. The ipad mini says it is disabled, connect to itunes. When connected, it says that it is locked! I have tried using Recovery/Restore but after it completed, the ipad mini still malfunctions. It does not allow you to start the device. The slide image keeps dancing around the screen. The opening page keeps changing in size and the keyboard types on its own! What can be done to fix this????????

Maybe a reset would help, to be followed by trying the recovery again.
To reset, hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then do the recovery.
If this doesn't solve it, I recommend visiting an Authorized Apple Service Center.

System restore is not working

System restore is not working for my Itouch. I am getting a picture of a white cord and and arrow pointing to Itunes logo... any suggestions?

It sounds like there is definitely a system problem. The whole OS seems to be messed up.
Do you have an MS Windows 7 disk?
In such case you could start the Windows 7 Startup Repair process using the MS Win 7 disk.
Boot from Win 7 disk, after the temporal files has been load, you should get and window where you could choose between the OS installation and other options. The second option called Repair you Computer is the one which would be needed to get the system repaired.
Then wait for System Recovery Options to locate Windows 7 on the HDD.
Then choose the Windows 7 installation and then the next window should appear providing the option to repair the system Startup Repair
But in case this workaround would not help you, the system should be reinstalled once again using Toshiba Recovery disk

HT1766 I backed up to my PC and attempted restore but I keep getting an error message that "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available." I have a 32GB iPhone; only 13GB used!!! HELP! iCloud backup/restore did not work

I backed up to my PC and attempted restore but I keep getting an error message that "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available." I have a 32GB iPhone; only 13GB used!!! HELP! iCloud backup/restore did not work either! How can I resolve this problem to restore from back up.

If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades.

DB Restore does not work on MSSMS 2014 under WIndows8.1

When attempting to restore a DB which was backed up on a different machine (same names but SQL EXPRESS 2012) under MS 2014 running on WIndows 8.1 into a SQL Express DB, the following happens:
1. Open Restore task
2. Select Device to get 'Select backup devices"
3. Invoke "Add" and expect to see a browser. Instead, a backup file location is indicated and no browsing is permitted in the "Locate Backup File" Even when the path and file names are just typed in, the Restore will not work.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
SQL Server does not allow you to restore or attach a database from a higher version of SQL Server to a lower version of SQL Server in your case from SQL 2014 to SQlL 2012, however you can generate script in SQL 2014 and execute it on SQL 2012.

Hello, all of a sudden I fell down my system and completely erased all bookmarks. Your progress with restoration does not work, write me of bookmarks could not be loaded. Please advice on everything because I came and they seriously need it.

Did your computer crash or did Firefox crash causing the loss of the bookmarks?
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

TS1369 iPod not working so I choose to "Restore to factory" default. It told me to plug in to outlet. This I did, but nothing happened. No matter what outlet I plug it into, the icon won't go away. Have I totally fired my iPod by following the directions?

I have an iPod Classic 60GB. It started to have problems and wouldn't sync.
I choose to restore it to factory settings.
The instructions and icon on the iPod say to plug it in to outlet with adapter but when I do, nothing happens.
Is there anything I can do at this point?
Would I be able to send it in to be fixed?
A 60GB iPod is too great to have not working!
Thanks, JoanKT

By outlet do you mean a USB port on your computer? If so does your I pod show up in iTunes? If not you will have to follow the appropriate steps for your iPod not showing up in iTunes for your particular OS. Are you using a Mac or a PC?

After Security update, FireWire iPods not working in iTunes 7.0.2

Hi all,
this past weekend, I installed the latest Apple security update and restarted my Mac.
Everything was working fine until I connected my iPod mini (via FireWire) and realized that although the iPod is mounting on the desktop, it is NOT appearing in iTunes. My other iPod, a 10GB 3G iPod, is also experiencing the same problem. The exception to this is my son's 512MB Shuffle -- it's working just fine.
I've tried all of the following, to no avail:
1. changed FW port
2. reset iPod
3. restored iPod
4. deleted and reinstalled iTunes
5. ran Disk Utility and DiskWarrior and "repaired" iPod hard drive
help!

Ipod not working, doesn't show up in source panel

i'm trying to restore my non-working ipod in itunes, but its not even showing up in the source panel when i connect it via usb. can i assume this means it's hopeless and i should just get a new one?

flyjam,
We may still be able to restore the iPod. This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61003 will show you howto to resolve this issue.
To restore the iPod we would want to put it into Disk Mode first as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If the iPod cannot be restored after following the tips in the article it will need hardware repair. The article has a link to the iPod service request website.

Ipod not working correctly, not frozen, nothing on it.

My ipod was connected to this ipod dock and all of the things on my ipod were completely erased, pictures, songs, everything. Since then it has been not working properly. When i try to update my ipod i wont let me. iTunes keeps giving me this message that says that i have to restore my ipod back to factory settings. I dont know how to do that. The ipod shows up on my computer desktop but not in Itunes. Also when i connect it to the computer the "do not dissconect" sign shows and does not go away.
also i was wondering does apple have an Email where I could Email them abut my ipod trouble or do i have to call the number?
what do i do? thankyou so much for taking the time to help me out.

Check out these troubleshooting guides.
Restoring your iPod.
iPod does not appear in iTunes (Mac).
If you have your iPod set to automatically transfer songs, right click on the iPod in iTunes, select options and if you have a check mark in the box marked “enable disk use”, remove it and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished transferring music. If it's set for manual transfer of songs, then you have to manually disconnect the iPod. You can just right click on it and select eject, or just drag it to the trash.
There is no email for tech support, only telephone support. Unless you have AppleCare, it's only one support issue that's free, and within the first 90 days of purchase.
