Restoring iPod Touch

Hello,
I'm experiencing problems with the software upgrade 2.0 and is thinking of restoring it to resolve the problem as I think it is my last resort. But before proceeding, I would like to know if I do restore it, will I have repay the software upgrade again? Or will it just return back into version 1.x and then automatically or download the software upgrade 2.0 and install.

I'm using Mac OS X but I did a little searching in my home library folder and I'm guessing it is this file?
/Users/[Insert Your Username Here]/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/iPod1,12.0_5A347Restore.ipsw
I want to confirm if it this file and If in future If I have to restore or whatever without re buying the software upgrade, I could "back up" the file and reuse it if anything happen to my Mac, get my drift?

    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.

    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • Cannot restore iPod Touch 2G - stuck on "operation 28" case #108375671

    iPod Touch 2G with 8GB, got it from Apple Store last week.
    I tried restore on 3 different computers - 2 laptops and 1 desktop, running XP SP2 and Vista. Resintalled iTunes(latest version) and Apple Mobile Device drivers a few times. Also created new accounts to restore. None of these works.
    Most of the time iTune stuck on the "Waiting for iPod..." screen. Checked the iPodUpdater.log and found the restore process stuck on "operation 28 progress -1" forever. Operations 4, 42, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 3, and then 4 seems to be successful. iTune was also able to read the SerialNubmer and Hardware model.

    Looks like this one passed "Operation 28" but failed on "Operation 11".
    There is always an error message on the file "device_map.txt" - which it does not exists
    Contacted Apple Care and talked to 2nd line support. 2nd line support said they don't know how to interpret the log file. The log file can only be interpreted by the engineer.
    Apple Engineer: is this a hardware problem?

    Hey Ghost Shell,
    This article provides general tips that may resolve the issue.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
    Make sure the iPod is directly connected to a high-speed USB port on the PC and not plugged into a hub, monitor, or keyboard. You can also disconnect any other USB devices, other than the keyboard and mouse.
    Try putting the iPod into recovery mode again and restoring as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    If the issue persists after trying the tips above, the iPod may need hardware repair. Make a reservation to have a Genius at a local Apple retail store take a look at it or call AppleCare.

  • Can't restore ipod touch 2g (MC)?

    Important info beforehand: I have a iPod Touch 2g MC model, on iOS 4.2.1. I use the latest iTunes update, and my laptop OS is Windows 7...
    Hello all!
    Here's the backstory, I am new to the support community and have started using it just to find a solution to this following problem:
    I have realized that my iPod is cluttered with loads of stuff that I dont actually use and is running alot slower than it could, so I decided to restore it to a clean, default iOS 4.2.1. I also had a passcode on it which i had forgotten (after not using the ipod for quite some time), and this made a restore the only option available if i wanted to use my iPod.
    So, I plug my iPod in, it starts syncing and I cancel it to save some time. Then I click the little "Restore" button and a small window pops up saying "Contacting the iPod software update server" and I wait for iTunes to do its thing... After about half a minute, I am faced with a different message, an error this time, saying "The iPod software update server could not be contacted" and I click ok and nothing happens... At this point in time I notice the "Accessing iTunes Store" mesage at the top of itunes is still going where it should have stopped ages ago, but i put it aside. I then procede to put my ipod in Recovery Mode and try the restore again and, again, the same error mesage. Hmm... I know i have previously downloaded the 4.2.1 ipsw file somewhere, so I search my computer for it and once i find it I shift click the restore button and restore with the ipsw. This time, the restore process seems to go through normally, up to the point where I would normally be faced with the screen in iTunes where I can set up my iPod as a new one or not, however, this does not happen. My iPod boots up to a "Connect to iTunes" screen, with no unlock slider, but it does have the battery icon in the top right hand corner...  It is connected to iTunes? And on the iTunes window it seems to recognise my iPod but when i click the iPod tab under Devices on the left hand side of iTunes, I am taken to a Blank screen with the word iPod is displayed right in the middle, and there is the "Accessing iTunes Store" still going at the top... This is the point I am at... I've searched for hours on the internet but to no avail ... I've even re-installed itunes and all apple software AND I've re set the hosts file, Which all of this seems to be linked to... I also cannot access the iTunes store and cannot authorize/de authorize this computer without another one at my disposal... Help!
    I highly doubt this is a common problem but if it is (Or isn't for that matter) and someone knows a fix, please, PLEASE tell me ASAP!!
    Thanks Everyone!
    Cameron

    I was looking to see if it could be a server-side problem! I've already tried that link before, I guess I'll have to try everything again tomorrow when its not 12 minutes pat midnight haha! Thanks for your help

  • 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?
    Try:
    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.

  • 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:
