U2 Ipod Photo frozen after incomplete restore

I wanted to connect my ipod to a new PC. Nothing was wrong with mz iPod before I tried to connect it with mz new PC!
I loaded new iTunes 7.0 and after connecting my ipod it asked if I would like to restore the ipod , that was fine with me since all my audio files are also on my new PC
After the restore process the program asked me to complete the process disconnecting from the PC and connecting to a wall socket.
It did not get past the language selection! It just FROZE.
Now it is alreadz a day on the english menu item but I cannot select it !
I just did a reset but the same screen freeze comes back on !!My PC and iTunes do not recognise the iPod anymore...
How can I proceed ? The Apple advices always assume that iTunes recognises the iPod but what if it does NOT?

Have you tried resetting the iPod? For info, see here: How to reset your iPod
It may take quite a few tries, and this is best done when connected to power.
Also, if nothing else seems to help, this method has proven to have sucess:
Connect your iPod to your USB port for a few seconds, then promptly disconnect it (without resetting or ejecting it).
Do this with your iPod with a AC adaptor, a carcharger, etc.
This could possibly work to sucessfully break the iPod out of its frozen mode if no other attempts are working.

  • Hello guys! How do I get my photo back after I restored my iphone5??? Ihave never did any backup or logged in iCloud before. Is it possible for me to get them back??

    Hello guys! How do I get my photo back after I restored my iphone5??? Ihave never did any backup or logged in iCloud before. Is it possible for me to get them back?? I use " find my iphone" and accidentally locked my iphone then I have to restore it to unlock it. But then I found out everything is gone after I restore my phone, is there anyway I could get them back??

    If you never backed them up, where do you suppose you can restore them from?

  • Can i get my photo back after i restore iphone 5 without back up

    can i get my photo back after i restore iphone 5 without back up?

    Where was the photo before you did the restore? was it in the Camera Roll? If you had PhotoStream turned on perhaps the photo is still in your PhotoStream.
    Have you synced your iPhone lately? Made a backup. Perhaps it is there.
    Otherwise it is most likely gone.

    You mean connecting the iPad to iTunes on your computer or when you launch the iTunes app on the iPad?
    it just completely shuts down.  Al my updates have been updated.  What could be the problem?.
    Completely shuts down? You mean the iPad actually turns off? That's what "shuts down" means to me. The device powers off.
    You could try closing all apps in the recents tray and reboot the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • TS3694 my ipod is frozen in update-restore mode

    My ipod touch is frozen in update-restore mode?

    What do you mean?  You made need to force the iPod into recovery mode and try and restore it again via iTunes using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • Ipod is frozen after updating it

    just recently tried to update my ipod touch, using my computer. a message popped up on my laptop saying the update was complete so i took out the cord from the ipod. it then took me to a complete black screen with the apple logo and a bar that looks like a loading bar just underneath it but nothing seems to be loading. its been like this for over an hour now and im wondering how to fix this?

    Try putting the iPod in recovery mode and restoring or updating it again. See the following:

  • I do I get my photos back after a restore?

    I updated my iOS last night and all I see toda y is my phone telling me to restore... how do I retrieve my pics after a restore?
    Lance

    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.  Has this not been done?
    Has the device been regularly backed up to either iTunes on a computer or via iCloud?  If so, restore the device from the most recent backup and any pictures that were in the camera roll at that time should be there.
    If neither of the above applies, the pictures are gone.

  • Repaired iPod Photo frozen again already

    My 30GB iPod Photo froze up on me a little over a week ago and my computer failed to recognize it anymore. The screen froze on the apple logo and refused to fully boot up. The backlight also would not dim. I tried resetting it multiple times (toggling hold switch and everything), while it was plugged in and when it wasn't. Nothing. I let the battery drain and tried to reset it again, nothing. I let it sit for 24 hours unplugged like the support site suggested, and nothing.
    Finally I gave in and sent it off to be repaired. I just got it back yesterday (they sent me a brand new one as far as I can tell), and this morning the same EXACT problem is happening again. This time, on a different computer. I just got a new Dell Inspiron 700m running Windows XP (same as other machine) and when I tried to run iPod updater on my iPod, my machine and my iPod froze. When I unplugged the iPod it rebooted itself and stuck on the apple logo again.
    Has anyone had this happen? I am loathe to send it off again as I'll be moving overseas in one week and won't get it back before I go. Also, apparently there's no guarantees it will actually get fixed this time around. Any tricks? Anybody have a phone number where I can talk to an actual human being? Any help would be VERY appreciated!!!

    Does anybody have an idea or even better a solution for this or is it possible to make a feature request to the product management to get soon a neat solution?
    Not sure about getting a solution "soon", but it is possible to make enhancement requests. Here's a link to the iTunes product feedback form:

  • IPod Touch frozen after firmware update

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my iPod Touch (3rd gen).  I am running iTunes on 64-bit Windows 7.
    I plugged in my iPod into my PC and iTunes offered an upgrade to iOS 4.3.3.  I accepted as I do routinely; I'm pretty sure
    I was running whatever was the latest version previous to this update.
    A few minutes later my iPod's screen showed the picture of a cable plugging into iTunes.  The iTunes screen showed a message:
    "iTunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode.  You must restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes."
    I selected "Restore" and iTunes displayed a message that it was "Restoring iPod software".
    The iPod screen showed the Apple logo and a status bar underneath which seemed to indicate that it was being restored.
    It then did "verifying ipod software" and "verifying ipod restore" and finally "restoring ipod firmware".
    However, when the process finishes, and after flashing the Apple logo again, the iPod still reverts to the picture of a cable
    plugging into iTunes.  For its part, iTunes goes back to the original message:
    "iTunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode.  You must restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes."
    I checked that I have the latest version of iTunes (10.2.2.14), and even went to the Apple website and downloaded it to be sure.
    As far as I can see the iPod is going into recovery mode (the link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 suggests that this is
    achieved when you get the picture of the USB cable plugging into iTunes, which is pretty much all that my iPod displays now).
    It's just that the restores do not seem to be taking.
    I also tried running the file iPod3,1_4.3.3_8J2_Restore.ipsw which was suggested in a response to a similar problem.
    This did not appear to do anything other than start iTunes at the point where it asked me to restore.
    Can anyone please suggest a solution such that I may be able to use my iPod again?
    Thank you for any help or ideas.

    Thank you samuelfromwilmette I think you are right.
    To finish the story: I took my iPod to a Genius bar and they were able to re-set it.  I then recovered from a back up but noticed that some of my apps did not recover correctly.  I carried on for a few more weeks and then it simply stopped working.  The iPod would no longer receive transfer files from iTunes, it would not update any of the apps and then a few days later I got the screen of death problem.
    Fortunately I still have a netbook running Windows XP.  I set up iTunes on it and was able to restore the iPod.  I now simply use the Windows XP netbook as the computer with which I sync my iPod.  It is not a great solution, because I would rather use my desktop, which is where I have my photos etc.  I am forced to use an external hard drive to move files over.  I have been operating like this for over 6 weeks and it all seems to be holding together!
    I think I have learnt two things:
    1) Regardless of what they say, my iPod Touch 3rd gen. / iTunes is not really compatible with Windows 7 64-bit.  The fact is that it works perfectly with my Windows XP computer but not with the newer operating system.
    2) I do not really need to update the firmware every time a new one comes out, and I do not need to sync my iPod every day!
    Thanks again for the advice.

  • IPod stays "frozen" after conversion to Windows

    My sister recently acquired a second-hand, 1st Gen 10GB iPod that was originally formatted for Mac. She owns an XP box, and will need to use the iPod with that computer. I've followed the instructions for formatting the iPod for Windows, and after doing the Restore, the iPod is no longer useable. It's frozen with the Apple logo on the screen. Nothing else happens, and this is the case whether or not the iPod is tethered to the machine.
    All I can do to bring it back to life is plug it into my Mac Mini and reformat it for Mac. It seems to work OK then, but once I hook it back up to the Windows box and do the Restore, it's gone again.
    Any suggestions?
      Other OS  

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod classic frozen after sync since I updated ipod software 1.02

    I have an iPod Classic 80G and iTunes 7.4.2(4) installed in my Macbook Pro, had about 12G music in my iTune, everything worked fine, untill yesterday I added some more songs (about 2G), when I tried to sync, iTune asked me to update iPod Classic software 1.02, I did and after sync, my iPod frozen (only apple logo on screen). I tried all 5 Rs, and even erased the drive with Disk Utility, after restore, I can copy songs from iTunes while using it as a disk, the ipod works fine, but the iPod crashs everytime finished sync. This morning I tried to sync with my girlfriend's Mac mini (she has about 8G music in her iTunes), it works no problem at all. So I am thinking the problem is with my iTunes - any help please?
    p.s My last attemp was deleting the ipoddriver.kext from extensions libary, still didn't work.

    The iPod classic not bring recognized is unrelated to iTunes Match. You should post this problem to either the iPod Classic forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipod/ipod_classic or the iTunes for Windows forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_windows. Probably the former.
    FYI it is only iOS devices that cannot be synced via USB with iTunes Match enabled.

    Update: After restoring the iPod synced almost 1/3 through my playlist and then started syncing at a rate of about one song every four to five minutes. Eventually it stopped syncing and froze. Now iTunes is completely frozen.

  • How can I retrieve my iPod Touch information after I restore it?

         A couple of months ago my computer crashed and on that computer was my itunes (which contained everything that I have on my iPod Touch, over 150 purchased songs, a couple of purchased apps aswell as purchased movies, tv shows and music videos). I immediately thought that this wouldn't be a problem, because I could purchase more stuff via the itunes and app store on my iPod. However, a couple of days ago my Safari kept crashing after about 5 minutes of use and subsequently the rest of my apps started doing the same. I then decicded to check if any other iPod Touch users were experiencing the same problems (which they did) and read that the only solution would be for me to restore my iPod. Now I am worried that if I restore my iPod, which seems to be the only option, I will lose all of my data.
         If anyone knows any possible way that I could either transfer my information onto my new computer and then restore it or any other solution to my problem. Any and every advice that is posted is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!
    *Also, if this helps, I haven't updated my iPod touch yet in the same fear of losing my data.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - For noniTunes purchased music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed there:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Make a backup by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.  This will also update the iOS.
    If in the USA (and other countries with iCloud) you can also redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • ``Ipod Touch FROZEN after one day!!

    Hi, I got the Ipod touch 16gb and used it once, now it appears to be frozen. It starts up with the white apple logo with backgrounds and then goes to a screen with the USB cable and an arrow pointing to a music CD from here it stays and eventually turns itself off?
    Please someone Help Me??

    Did you take your iPod Touch back to the store? I am having the same exact problem with mine as well. All works fine and then the touch screen will freeze but the buttons will work. A reset only fixes the issue for a very short time and I have done a couple complete resets of the device.
    I may have narrowed the issue down some though. The iPod seems to work until email, calendar, or contact syncing is setup either through iTunes or directly on the Touch itself. It is not any of my apps I've gotten through the store because I tested it out with all my apps loaded and it worked great until I tried to sync email, calendar, and contacts. I even tried syncing just Calendar alone to see if it was one of the other two and the screen started to freeze after syncing the calendar two different methods. The only way to get it back to working correctly that I have found so far is to completely reset and wipe the device and set it up from scratch again. Deleting the data and the sync settings do not work.
    Were you able to get some sort of resolution for this yet? I got my Touch as soon as the App Store was released so I could ditch my old Palm and still have my Contacts, Calendar, and the couple key apps I needed. A hard reset from scratch is definitely not a good solution for this. I started experiencing this problem before the recent v2.0.1 upgrade came out and was hoping the update would fix it but it did not. This is frustrating.
