Restore to 4.0-----HELP PLEASE-- NEW VERSION STINKS

CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO RESTORE IPOD TOUCH 2G TO PREVIOUS VERSION {4.0} WITHOUT UPDATING TO CURRENT VERSION?
WHENEVER I TRY TO RESTORE, IT ALWAYS WANTS TO UPDATE. 
I'VE TRIED THIS UPDATE SEVERAL TIMES, AND ALL MY IPOD DOES IS CRASH OR FREEZE.
I NEED TO GO BACK TO HAPPIER DAYS WHEN I COULD ACTUALLY USE MY DEVICE.

Typing in all caps indicates shouting, is considered rude, and is difficult to read.
Many simply do not read such posts.
There is no legit way to go back.
You can only restore to the most recent available version.

  • I have a copy of my iTunes data and I'm looking to restore it all back into a new version of iTunes reloaded after a hard drive crash.  How do I do this?

    After having a hard drive crash, I've reloaded Windows 7 and all of my applications on a new hard drive.  I have also downloaded and installed a new version of iTunes on my computer.  I now want to restore all of my iTunes tracks, videos, movies, books, podcasts and all my playlists into the new version of iTunes from a back up of all of my previous hard drive before it crashed.  I have tried importing the data but iTunes drops all kinds of data (artist names, album names, track number, etc.) and have to now manually go through all of my iTunes data (18,000 tracks) to restore the data.  The data consists of a combination of purchased tracks (approx. 6,000) and my own personal CDs copied into iTunes.  I need help badly here as I'm lost on how to proceed.  Thanks.

  • Where is the restore button for iPhones on the new version of itunes

    I have bought an iPhone 4 which was on orange ee.
    The friend has paid them to unlock it and they confirmed it has been done but my voda sim shows no service.
    The instructions from ee mention restore from iTunes but the new version doesn't appear to have to have this button.
    Can someone let me have the process for resetting a network unlocked phone through iTunes.
    Cheers

    I need to add to this that when I connect to iTunes the screen just brings up a message sim needs activating but I tried the sim in a voda iPhone and it works so the sim is good

  • HT201442 Im trying to restore my ipone me downloading the newer version of itunes on the computer will it restore it?

    I am trying to restore my phone and it is telling me that there is an error. How do i stop this?

    Looks like you had installed newer version before, uninstall it - but not completely, and than intalled the older version again.I had this issue before. I had to completly uninstall the newer version through control panel, and than perfom search for itunes for all folders and manually delete all other itunes files. Once all this is done you should be able to install again. Hopefully this will solve the problem.

  • Ipod touch (2G) stuck in "restore" mode.  Need HELP please

    I have contacted Apple support several times since Friday and was just hung up on by an extremely rude lady in customer support. I am really frustrated and just trying to get my 5 yr old little boys ipod touch working again.
    The situation is that our son's old computer crashed. So we have a newer computer set up for him. Reinstalled itunes on it. Called Apple on Friday, really nice rep gave me several instructions for transfering purchases, making sure everything was up to date and turning home sharing on. Did all that, got off the phone with him and then the computer tells me that the ipod needs and update.
    Clicked ok, and update starts going for a few minutes.....then get an error message that says that the ipod is basically stuck in "restore" mode and needs to be reset to factory settings. It won't let me do anything to the ipod. It won't restore, reset, anything. Just shows a picture of usb cable and says to connect to itunes.
    Connect to itunes and it keeps giving me say error message.
    Will someone please help me? Apple support sure won't.

    Did you try to connect in recovery mode, to start the restore process again? Connecting in Recovery mode is explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Also delete the ipod ipsw firmware file on your computer, to make iTunes download a new copy to restore from. Depending on your OS, this file can be found here:
    XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
    Vista and 7: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
    If you're getting error numbers, take a look at this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275

  • Help Please - New iPod Classic will not sync with existing iTunes library

    Please help, I have researched every forum I can find and all the suggested tips have not worked for me.  Here is my problem.....
    I have a new laptop and a new iPod classic.  I have checked and both have the most up to date software.  I have logged into iTunes and all the music and films I had purchased previously is showing.
    I thought I simply had to log into iTunes,authorise the laptop, plug in my Ipod and then sync the music and films from iTunes onto my iPod.
    When I do the there is a message within seconds to say the iPod sync is completed but the iPod remains empty.  I can't figure out where I have gone wrong.
    All suggestions gratefully received

    Problem solved.  It seems that iTunes archived my music to iCloud so once I downloaded all the files again they sync'd rght away

  • Need Help Please - New m515

    Hello,
    Man, I feel so stupid asking this, but I got my new m515 charged and was ready to do the initial setup, and I cannot - CANNOT get the stupid stylus to come out so I can use it. I have pushed up, pulled OUT. Nothing. It is there..I can see it. I have had tons of gadgets over 30 years, and this is stumping me (college graduate).  I don't want to break something brand new just because I am overloooking something obvious. But I don't get it. I've had other PDA's even.
    Any hints...serious ones please?
    Thanks very much.
    A frustrated,
    Dennis
    Post relates to: Palm m515

    Hi, and welcome to the Palm Support Community.
    If the stylus in your m515 is the correct one for that model, it should slide right out the top with the help of a little "hook" that sticks out slightly on the side of the unit.
    But there are many different stylus designs for different Palm models, and it sounds like perhaps the wrong model stylus got shoved into the silo?  Did you buy this second-hand?
    I don't have an m515 any longer, but there should be a short slot on the side where you can see the top part of the stylus.  Unless you can use something skinny and kind of pointy to try to push it up from the slot, you might have to take it apart.

  • I never made a password to restore iPod backup? HELP PLEASE!!!!!

    A few months ago I dropped my iPod touch and the screen cracked. I knew I would have to send it off to be repaired so to ensure that I wouldn't lose anything I had on it such as music/apps/photos etc. I backed it up on my itunes. Today I got a brand new iPod to replace my old broken one. I went to restore the backup onto the new iPod but when I clicked on 'Restore Backup...' it said 'Enter the password to unlock your iPod backup.' But I never made a password when i backed up my iPod. I tried my Apple ID password, various passcodes that I've used for my iPod and the numbers 0000, 1111 and 9999 that were recommended when I researched online and none of them were valid. I have no clue what the password is as I never made one for the backup. I now have no way of restoring everything from my old iPod to my new iPod. If anyone could tell me how to figure out what the password is or if there is a password that works it would be very helpful!

    Thanks for the reply! How do i get everything that is on my itunes into the backup file that is needed for the password unlocker?

  • I can't create mi Apple ID and can't connect into iTunes Store HELP PLEASE NEW USER

    Hi, im new with this. I just got a new MacBook Pro 13" with IOs X Lion. Im having a big trouble with my apple ID. I cant create an ID. first was the credit card security code. Somebody told me to follow the instructions in this link to solve the problem ( iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records ) but i cant even connect to Itunes Store. PLEASE I NEED SOME HELP URGENT!!
    P.D: I created an ID on apple page but it seems that doesnt work for nothing. I tried using that ID on both (Itunes an App Store) but doesnt work.

    First and foremost, I agree with gdgmacguy about using the support link. That is most likely your best bet. But, I have read posts from other users that had issues with their Apple ID that you must enter your address exactly like it appears on you credit card statement. Don't abbreviate "street" or "road" - things like that - unless that matches your statement exactly. Have you moved and maybe not changed your address on your credit card statement yet...??
    I am not saying that is the reason you can't create the ID, but it has been an issue for some. You could try what I suggest, but the support link is the best way to go if you can't get it accomplished on your own.
    here is the support link.

  • Restoring not working! Help please...

    My iphone is stuck on the 'connect to itunes screen' and I have tried to restore it (going through the whole hold down on/off switch and home, then plug in etc) but it isn't working because my itunes doesn't even recognise my phone as a device so i can't click to restore it. My computer bleeps to acknowledge the connection but it isn't recognised in 'computer' either as a removable device. Some help would be fantastic please and thank you.

    Thank you a million times, I'd gone through other things and funny crazy intricate and elaborate webs of trickiness and then it was right there all along! Anyone else with that problem follow the instructions under that heading in link one of the above answer.Good luck
