Stuck on restore..

when i connected my ipod touch [4gen] i noticed a new update. ios 4.3.4. i go ahead and start the update process. next thing i see, itunes is asking me to either choose a new name for my device or restore from backup. i was a little confused at this point because 1) i had already given my device a name months ago when i had bought it and 2) why i had to restore my iipod. so, as you guys can guess, i chose to restore. i started the restore at about 6pm yesterday. it's almost 2am now and my ipod is still saying "restore in progress". i doubt it should be taking this long. what do i do?!? i thought about disconnecting it, but i'm scared it might ruin my touch. can anyone help me?! any suggestions?!?

  • 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

    My iPhone 3GS 16gb, is stuck in restore mode, downloaded and tried to do a restore multiple times. Keep getting an error The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. Unknown error occured (-1). Cannot get it out of restore mode, keeps rebooting!
    I have tried to hold the "home" and "power" button to reboot
    I have tried powering it off
    I have tried, to unplug the cable, hold the "home" button and then plug it in.
    Can't check the SN or warranty, cause it is stuck in restore mode.
    Is the hard drive gone? Should there be something replaced.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#error1
    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Usually this is caused by your antivirus or firewall blocking iTunes access to the Internet. It can also occur if the phone is jailbroken or if the computer you are using was ever used to jailbreak an iDevice.

  • My iphone is stuck in restore mode.  I plugged into macbook and ran a restore and it is still stuck

    iphone is stuck in restore mode when i did a rebook.  I hooked up to my macbook and ran a restore.   Itunes ran through the restore and now it is still stuck in restore mode.

    If it won't restore in the regular restore mode, you may want to try putting it in DFU mode if you haven't already. Instructions for this are linked below.

    Put it in this mode, then do a restore again through your computer.
    Hope this helps you out!

  • HT201210 I tried to update my iPad 2 with the iOS 6.0.  Now I am stuck in restore mode and keep getting an unkown error 3014 and sometimes -1.  What in the world can I do?

    I tried to update my iPad 2 with the iOS 6.0.  Now I am stuck in restore mode.  I get "unknown" errors 3014 and sometimes -1.  Any ideas?

    Try a hard reset: hold the power and home buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

  • I got a new PC; when trying to sync my iPad I downloaded iTunes onto the PC; got a message that my iPad did not have the newest version of iTunes, would I like to update my iPad; I clicked yes then; since then my iPad is stuck in restore and may lose all

    Tried to sync iPad to new PC; got message that iPad did not have most current iTunes and would I like to update; selected update; got an error message saying a file was corrupt; iPad stuck in restore mode; no pictures transferred to PC; Apple Store Tech said only solution is to restore factory settings to my iPad but this will cause me to lose hundreds of precious and irreplaceable photos and videos; HELP?

    You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

  • Error 6 when trying to restore.  Phone is stuck in restore mode

    I have an iphone in front of me which is stuck in restore mode. I plug it into iTunes, choose restore, choose a firmware (3.1.2) and begin the restore process. I get the following message:
    The iPhone 'iPhone' could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (6).
    If I press more info, the console appears, and the last 2 lines show the following:
    Restore failed (result = 6)
    iTunes[24792:207]: iTunes: Restore error 6
    I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.2, iTunes 9.0.3. I've tried using a different user account - no luck. I also tried pointing gs.apple.com to 74.208.10.249 in /etc/hosts thinking maybe it was an activation problem - no luck.
    Hoping someone can help - otherwise I've got a very expensive paperweight!

    First delete all .ipsw files on your computer. In OSX they are located here:
    ~/Library/Application Support/iTunes/iPod/iphone Firmware
    If you have your firewall turned on, disable it. Then see if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
    Also, any reason why you have not updated to 10.6.2? You might try updating to 10.6.2 FIRST & also make sure itunes is up to date, version 9.0.3.

    Be good to know what the diagnostic results are.
    I've also just run into an issue where I couldn't restore an iPod with a corrupt file system, and the "super fix" in that linked article wasn't working for me. I've run across a potentially useful workaround.
    iPod Classic went on the fritz today just after syncing. Couldn't restore via iTunes, kept getting 1439 errors, Windows wouldn't format as FAT32, claimed the "Volume is too big for FAT32". Finally tracked down EaseUS Partition Master Home Edition (Free) and formatted as FAT32 with 128k clusters. The iPod is filling back up again. Might be worth a shot here...

  • My ipod touch kept crashing and not loading apps, syncing did not solve prblem so i did the 'restore' option. now it has been stuck 'verifying restore' for more than 8 hrs!! help

    i pod touch is stuck 'verifying restore' for the last 8 hrs... help??

    Try putting the iPod into DFU mode and restoring again:
    http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
    If that still doesn't work, then the jailbreak may have cause a corruption which is now fatal; that's not uncommon with jailbroken devices. If that is indeed the case, your iPod may be irrecoverable and you'll be shopping for a new one.
    Good luck.

  • Recently the screen on my iphone 6 went completely red. i tried a hard reboot, but it would do it again at random times and shut down. i tried to sync my phone. nothing. i attempted a restore...again nothing. phone is now stuck mid restore.

    my iPhone 6 is "stuck" mid restore. cannot access anything. phone screen indicates I need to connect to iTunes. when I connect, I tunes tells me it cannot restore the device and gives several different error messages. any help resolving would be much appreciated.

    I had the same thing happen to my phone, I called tech support and nothing they did could fix the device over the phone. I ended up having to bring it to a store to get fixed.
