RESTORING ITOUCH FROM 3.1.3 TO 3.1.2

if anybody can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated. if possible, could you email me with how to do this?
my email is: matt_franzen at yahoo dot com
thank you
< Edited by Host >

Did your iPod ever run firmware 3.1.2 before? If so, the firmware file (.ipsw) should still be stored on your computer, which would make this process a lot easier. (My method only works on a PC, the Mac procedure is slightly different)
1. Plug your iPod into your computer and wait for iTunes to open
2. After it's finished with all the syncing, click on the iPod on the devices tab
3. There's a "restore" button. Hold down the left shift button and click on restore
4. Navigate to:
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USERNAME HERE\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates\
5. Click on the 3.1.2 firmware ipsw file
6. The restore should begin
Hope that helps ^_^

  • My iPhone has reset and I can't restore it from the back up

    I Have an iPhone 5s and someone got hold of my phone and i think they were trying the crack the passcode. They weren't successful and I think my phone has been reset. When I turn it on the only options I have are:
    1) set up as a new phone
    2) restore from iCloud
    3) restore from iTunes
    i don't have a back up to the iCloud (confirmed by Apple)
    i do have a back up from February 2014 but I set up a password that I now can't remember for the life of me.
    The only previous back up was in January 2013.
    When I tried to restore the phone to the January 2013 back up it kept telling me to go into my iPhone and turn off the "find my iPhone" obviously I am unable to do this as the phone won't let me in until I restore it, but iTunes won't let me restore until I've turned "find my iPhone" off!
    I guess this is what I'd like to be able to do:
    1) get my phone back to where it was last Thursday despite no back up since February, if this isn't possible then...
    2) restore it from the February back up by somehow cracking my password, is there a way around this? Apple think not, and I have the added issues of the "find my iPhone" being turned on and I can't turn it off
    3) restore from the January 2013 back up, not ideal and I have the "find my iPhone" issue on iTunes.
    please help, I've been without my iPhone for days now and it's so frustrating as it costs me a lot of money and I can't use it!
    thanks in advance

  • I just had to reformat the external hard drive that houses my iPhoto library, then restore it from a backup. Now Time Machine is telling me my backup hard drive suddenly does not have the space to complete a backup. I also noticed when I go in to Time Mac

    I just had to reformat the external hard drive that houses my iPhoto library, then restore it from a backup. Now Time Machine is telling me my backup hard drive suddenly does not have the space to complete a backup. I also noticed when I go in to Time Machine, there are only about 5 backups recorded on the ext. hard drive. There were many more before. Any idea what happened and if I have to buy a new back up hard drive?

    Hallo  Kieth ,
    I am not quite ready to restore the full iphoto library , as I have days of work re - imputting titles,descriptions and enhancement . I hope that your suggestion works , as I use my Macbook basically to work with digital photography. Through time , I will need to delete my library to recover more disc space and I would hate to have to spend more time re - imputting titles and descriptions all over again .
    Thanks for your interest and advice.
    regards  - Alan

  • Music wont sync on my new iphone 4s. Restored it from a backup and now there's no music on it. In the music tab it says: Thomas iPhone has access to music on iCloud. Songs can be fetched via WIFI or a mobile network. What to do?

    Restored it from a backup and now there's no music on it. In the music tab it iTunes says: Thomas iPhone has access to music on iCloud. Songs can be fetched via WIFI or a mobile network. The pnly thing I can chose to sync are voice memos.
    What can I do?

    If you want all the songs from an artist on your phone you can to to the artist view, tap on the artist, scroll to the bottom of the list and you will see a Download All button.  This works for playlists and albums too (scroll to the bottom and tap the Download All button).  I suppose if you wanted all your music on your phone you could create a smart playlist in iTunes on your computer that would contain all your music, upload it to iTunes match (Store>Update iTunes Match), and then you would get a Download All button at the bottom of this playlist on your phone to download all your songs.

  • Restoring Preview from Time Machine

    Preview has become unusable for me over the last week. Preview froze when trying to open a pdf and I forced it to quit. Now, every time I open preview it uses all available RAM and freezes.
    I've tried shift clicking to open preview "fresh", but this didn't solve the problem. I've tried restoring preview from a previous time machine backup before the problem started, but this didn't help either. I'm guessing that preview settings (like which documents to open at start up) are stored outside of the preview.app container.
    Where are the system files for preview stored outside of the preview.app container? I'm hoping I can restore these files from a previous time machine backup. Alternatively, any other method of restoring preview would be much appreciated.

    For anyone else that has this problem the folder to delete is Library > Containers > com.apple.Preview

  • Restoring folder from Time Machine  to external drive

    My music folder (100+GB) in on an external 500 GB FW drvie, I would like to back both my Mac HD and the FW drive to a 1 TB FW drive. My question, if the 500 GB FW drive fails what is best way
    of restoring the music folder to the new drive? Can I use the restore button in TM or do I use
    Finder to copy the folder to the new drive?

    Do not copy any TM backups using finder! they have a bunch of "deny everyone everything" ACLs and you'll get them on the copied files if you do it this way. you can restore them from TM interface even if the original drive is not present. there are two ways to do it.
    1. get a new external drive and give it the same name as the old one. then start TM, and restore the files normally.
    2.if you don't have a new drive. enter commandshiftc in finder and start TM. scroll back in time to a point when the external was present. you'll see it as a folder in the backup. you can restore anything you want normally but you'll be prompted for the restore location.

  • Restoring files from Time Machine after installing Maverick

    I have an older MacBook Pro and while installing Maverick my aged hard drive gave out. I got a new hard drive installed by an authorized Mac dealer and now I'm trying to restore files from Time Machine. I haven't done anything at all yet with Maverick. I followed the Migration Assistant directions and have the backup connected to my laptop. The backup icon appeared on my desktop. I hit continue and followed directions and reached the point where it said "looking for source" and there is a spinning ball. That was an hour ago. Is it just taking a long time to sort through the large volume of material in my Time Machine backup, or is something wrong? What should I be doing, if anything? Thank you for your help.

  • Restoring applications from time machine after a clean install of Mavericks.

    I had recently upgraded from Mt. Lion to Mavericks from app store. But after few months I thought it was being buggy and slow. Last week after taking a complete time-machine backup I formatted the computer and clean installed Mavericks again. Now I am trying to restore just few handpicked applications one by one. Most of the apps are either not working or asking me for keys. Is there any other way to restore apps from Time Machine? Because all I see is that it just copy pastes the folder from the backup, and does not restore the prefe

    If I were you, I would not restore your applications from the backup, more if you want the preferences back. Performance issues will be back and you may need to reformat the hard drive again.
    Instead, the best thing you can do is to reinstall your applications manually, so you will not be transferrind files you do not need

  • Can't find files after restoring them from Time Machine

    Hi!
    Yesterday I formated my macbook pro and re-install Mountain Lion. Before that I made a backup using Time Machine.
    When I wanted to create full system restore I couldn't do that. Neither using migration assistant neither with Mountain Lion startup disk. But that was yesterday story. I guess I was one of those unlucky guys who can't do a system restore because some strange reason.
    So what is the problem today: They someone says that I should enter a time machine and do a restore of a Macintosh HD. Restore of the whole hard disc.
    And I did that.
    And now I can't find those files on my Macbook. I can see on disk space  that they are on the disc but I can't find them.
    Is it because of the different user account or something like that?
    It would be really great if I could get a full system restore but it would be also great if I could just see all the files that i restored.
    THanks for the help guys!

    That's not the right way to restore. Delete the folder named "Macintosh HD" in the Volumes folder. It will take a very long time.
    Most likely, some folders were inadvertently excluded from your backups, and as a result you can't restore your data in Recovery, Setup Assistant, or Migration Assistant.
    Starting from a fresh installation of OS X, set up a new administrator account and log in. You should now be able to enter Time Machine and restore your user data from a snapshot.* I suggest you do this in two stages. Quit all applications except the Finder before you begin.
    Restore all the visible items at the top level of your home folder.
    Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. Enter Time Machine and restore all items in the Library folder. Log out and log back in as soon as the restore is complete.
    Any other invisible folders or files at the top level of your home folder that you want to preserve will have to be restored separately. For most users, that isn't necessary.
    You'll have to reinstall all third-party applications from scratch, or restore them from another kind of backup, if you have one.
    You'll have another problem if this is a new computer, or if you erased the startup volume: Time Machine won't continue your previous snapshot series, but will instead try to begin a new one, starting with a full copy of all files. There might not be enough space on your backup volumes for that. There are different ways of dealing with that situation, depending on your needs. The easiest way is to set your backup drives aside, if possible, until you're sure you'll no longer need the data on them, then erase them and start over. Meanwhile start a new backup on one or more empty storage devices. If that solution isn't workable for you, ask for instructions.
    *If you don't see any snapshots in Time Machine, exit the time-travel view and then hold down the option key while selecting
    Browse Other Backup Disks...
    from the Time Machine menu, which has an icon that looks like a clock running backwards. Select the backups of your computer by its previous name. If you don't have the Time Machine menu, open the Time Machine preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked
    Show Time Machine in menu bar

  • Error 150:30 after restoring CS4 from Time Machine backup

    I just got myself a new Imac with OS X Maverick and set it up using a time-machine-backup. My Adobe CS4 now has a Problem with the license and shows me error: 150:30?
    Do I need to uninstall CS4 and reinstall? Is there any easier solution to this problem?
    Thank you anyone for some help.

    Do I need to uninstall CS4 and reinstall?
    Unfortunately yes.
    Also run the Cleaner Tool prior to reinstalling
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Restoring from Time Machine backups invariably breaks the activation mechanism (Error 150:30) and there's no easy way to fix a 150:30 error other than via re-installing.

  • Problem booting Lion after restoring disk from Time Machine

    I have a late 2009 iMac which I have upgraded to Lion, having created a bootcamp partition with Windows Server 2008 before upgrading.
    This has been working absolutely fine for a few months but then there appeared to be some kind of hard disk problem and booting would only go as far as a gray screen with apple logo and a progress bar, then shut itself down. I started into the recovery partition by holding down the Alt key and from there (after reading around the internet a bit) was able to reformat the OS X partition and restore it from my Time Machine backup (wireless to Time Capsule).
    However it now won't boot, initial grey screen with Apple logo and spinning progress meter then restarts into Recovery HD. In Recovery mode Disk Utility reports all appears to be OK with the disk - there were some errors before I restored from Time Machine, but Disk Utility was able to repair them.
    If I hold down Alt on booting I get the 'choice of boot disks' screen with EFi boot, Windows and Recovery HD. If I choose EFi boot I get the Apple symbol alternating with a circle with diagonal line (prohibitory?) a couple of times, then it boots into Recovery. If I boot the computer with the Shift key it successfully boots into Windows, but won't boot into Windows from the 'choice of boot disks' screen.
    Is my problem that I need to somehow 'make' the restored partition bootable and if so how, or is there a more fundamental problem here, either with my hard disk or (gulp) with my Time Machine backup?
    Any ideas much appreciated, thanks
    -Chris

    Can't see SMART status anywhere in Disk Utility, shouldn't it just be visible at the bottom of the window when I click on the disk? Verify disk returns OK. I do have the correct format option.
    I am now trying Tony T1's suggestion of trying again, but this time on Erase... I have chosen the Security Option that writes 0's over the whole partition to see if it throws up any signs of failure.
    Thanks for your suggestions.

  • Restoring iPhone from an iTunes backed up on an External Harddrive

    I deleted all of my old "restore iphone" devices not realizing that I was deleted my current one as well. I am having trouble locating Mobilsync in my MacHD and in my external HD where everything is backed up. I used the scripts you put in the terminal and etc etc but still no luck in being able to find MobileSync.
    So heres my question. How can I restore my itunes that is backed up on my external so when I connect my iphone I can just restore it from one of the previously restored iphone.
    Idealy I would like to just find mobilesync on my MacHD since that would have my most recent backed up iphone data. however, ill take an older backed up file from my external seeing how i have nothing on my iphone right now..
    Another thing is that I dont care about pictures or music. I just need all my contacts back and dates saved in my calender.
    I have not backed anything up onto iCloud.
    Thank you,
    P

    The Mobilesync files are in a hidden folder in your user folder. In the "Go" Finder menu, select "Go To Folder..." and in the resulting text field type
    /Users/yourusername/Library
    and click "Go". This will open your hidden Library file. In the "Applications Support" folder you will find the Mobilesync files.  Open up the same folder in your backup and drag & drop the files into the current Mobilesync folder. That will restore your backed up backup files. Then start iTunes and hopefully they will show up.
    Good luck.

  • Can't restore iPad from icloud

    I Had the "unable to download item" issue after updating iOS recently. Forums suggested that I shoud restore the iPad 2 via iTunes and then restore content from backup. So I held down the two buttons while connecting the iPad to the computer and the system restore worked fine however when it came to restoring content it said that the iPad had not been backed up previously.I looked online in my iCloud account and there is definitely a backup there but for some reason it is not tied in with my iPad any more. Is there anything I can do about this?
    Thanks
    terry

    Dont worry about this!!! I am a moron! Just figured it out. Thanks

  • Mozilla restores pages from last session, but I don't set it and don't want it

    When I'm opening Mozilla firefox, it always restores pages from last session. I tried to restore default startpage, but it restore other pages anyway.

    You can check if you have an user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • Iphone4 would not restore Error -50. I have tried to restore and it restored it to the point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out.

    Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????

    It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
    Here is what I have tried...
    Error 13 and 14: 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. I have moved it around to different ports.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
    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.Used the Microsoft fix it.
    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. Doesn't matter.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this.
