Tried to restore iPod and am now having difficulties with formatting
Hi everyone,
I had been having problems with my iPod Classic recently and I tried to restore it to factory settings. I believe the restore worked but I had walked away from my computer while it was going. Now, each time that i try to plug in my computer a folder pops up saying that I need to reformat the disk, but it won't let me. I'm not sure what to do. When I unplug my iPod from my computer and am looking through it, in my settings it says that I have 0GB free, yet, I have no music or anything on the iPod. Everything is listed as Other. Any ideas anyone has would be greatly appreciated! By the way, I've already gone through the recommended restore and reinstall steps.
Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

Hello can someone please help? Trying to restore ipod and I keep on getting error message: The IPod software update server could not be contacted. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network is active and try again.
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers

Welcome to the discussions,
did you check your security software settings? http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125 iTunes needs to connect to the Apple server during the restore process. -

Trying to restore iPad and cannot connect to apple with iPad, is Apple's site down?
I have erased my iPad and am trying to restore. However the device will not connect with apple via network or iTunes. I suspect Apples website is down since I cannot get past the initial user setup screen. Is anyone aware if Apple's server is having issues in this regard?
Hi..
Servers are not down..
If the iPad isn't recognized in iTunes and you are using a Windows based computer, try here > iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
And try turning off your router for a few minutes, then turn it back on. -
Updated to iOS 6 and am now having problems with wifi
Recently- I am having trouble with the wifi in multiple locations. Initially I thought it had to do with my own house internet- but my fiance has no trouble with his wifi on his iphone. We have both updated to iOS 6 and 4G tends to work fine but when connected to wifi both at work and my home it is extremely slow or does not load.
That sounds like a data system issue, call your carrier about it.
Try resetting network settings on the iPhone. -
I have recently purchased the new iPad. I can send and receive e-mails (iCloud) without a problem but the draft function does not seem to be working. Specifically, when you go back to work on a draft e-mail, it has not saved the changes you made previously. Kinda annoying! I think it must be a problem specific to my iPad as my iPhone does not have this problem. All suggestions as to solutions very welcome.
Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

I tried to restore, update and back up my ipod touch. once it said it was successful i clicked on the label of my ipod in itunes and it had written, "we're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time." now whenever i click on the label it just says that and on my ipod it tells me to plug into itunes when it already is. i didnt update restore or back it up with the latest version, so i downloaded the latest version, how do i start the process again so my ipod works!! help this is gay !!
Hmm, well... iTunes trys to activate your iPod using the Apple server to make sure you have bought it legit.
Two things come into my mind:
1) Your iTunes can't access the internet.
2) Apples activation servers are down.
That's just my cents, maybe anyone else has an idea. -

I restored my ipod and i now have 35.66GB of other data on my ipod and it only sinked my music that i bought on itunes how do i fix this? i have an ipod 5 with ios 7.1.2. ive tried restarting my computer restarting my ipod and restoring it. i also tried to delete apps nothing works.
This happened to me with the same device. I wouldn't worry about having it just say other as that is just information, if you really need to know what is using the most of your device's storage to to Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage and that will tell you what apps are using in terms of your storage. Besides that, "other" is just iTunes knowing that there is information, how much there is, just not what it is. So syncing your device a few times and letting it stay plugged in should allow iTunes to recognize what information is on your iPod. Hope I could help!

i have an iphone 5, i tried to restore it,and now it keeps showing me on the screen the 'connect to itunnes message'.What do i do?
Check the version of iTunes you're running. "Help >> About". It should be 11.1.1 if I'm not mistaken. Let me know if you're still having issues.
