My ipod 4th generation is stuck on recovery mode and is stuck on the screen that says to connect to the itunes store. I already tried using a non-damaged cable and connecting it to itunes, but the ipod is not showing up as a device on my computer or on itunes. I cant fix the recovery screen until i can coinnect it to itunes... so does someone have any suggestions?

Ipod 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode

My ipod is stuck in recovery mode and it all started when I was going to update it because it was having glitches. So I was going to use my wifi to update it but it said it couldn't because it wasnt connected to the internet, so i connected my ipod to my mac to update and the bar filled up and then it said an error had occured and couldn't be updated. Then it said it was in recovery mode and i unplugged and tried restarting it to get it out of recovery mode but it didn't work. So i replugged it into my computer and tried restoring it and it started restoring but same thing happened when i was updating it, the downloading bar filled then an error message popped up saying ipod couldnt be restored an unknown error has occured.

Resolve communication issues
Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.
Common errors: 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, or 3000-3999. These alerts refer to gs.apple.com, say "There was a problem downloading the software", or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build".

Hi, my ipod 5th gen is stuck in recovery mode because i tried to get the ios 7 on it and now i just want it back to it regular ios i please need help

hi my ipod 5th gen is stuck in recovery mode ive tried everything and nothing is working

Only developers have access to the iOS 7 beta and then also have access to the developer forum. Thus, if you are a developer go the the developer's forum.
Otherwise you have a bootleg coy of iOS 7 and are on your own.

HT201412 Can't restore iPod 4th gen, HELP!!!

Hi! I can't restore my iPod 4th gen. because it will not show up under "devices" on iTunes! I plug my iPod into my computer, and a little stop sign comes up telling me my iPod is locked with a passcode and needs to be unlocked. Heres the catch: my iPod has a erratic/unresponsive touch screen! I can't shut it down or unlock it! So ultimately the devices column does NOT show up. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRICIATED!

Selling iPod 4th Gen to get 5th gen, but.......?

Hi folks.
I'm currently selling my iPod 4th Gen to raise funds for my 5th gen. I won't be able to order the 5th gen until I have the funds from my 4th gen sale, and I just want to ask, how long does delivery take to the UK?
Also, is the warranty transferable? And does anyone know how I would transfer to warranty to the buyer?
Thanks,
Tez

The warranty should be fully transferable, but you might need the original paperwork for when you purchased the phone, such as a sales receipt or order confirmation. This is used for proof of date of purchase, but I contacted Apple regarding the same issue and they said in some cases the warranty was still valid as long as the original UPC was still on the box for the iPod. Also, the Extended Apple Care Protection Plan is available for purchase for who you sell the phone to, given that it's still under the original warranty. I believe it's $59, and for people buying a used iPod from someone else, it's usually a good idea to go ahead and extend the warranty. I did the same thing and sold my 30GB iPod Photo on ebay in order to buy the new 60GB, and ended up getting about $240 for it, so good luck.

Restore ipod 4th gen on windows 8

im trying to restore an ipod 4th gen on a computer with windows 8. It will go through the complete restore and restart but when it comes back on it is still in restore mode?????

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

My iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode with a broken 'lock' button.

My iPod touch 4th generation is stuck in recovery mode with a black screen and I can't get it out. It has a broken lock button and I have tried everything to get it out of recovery mode. Every time I plug it into iTunes, it recognises my iPod and says 'iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used in iTunes, so I have restored it several times and every time, it says there is an unknown error. Please Help!! (my iPod is IOS 6.0.1)

What is the complete wording of the error message that says unknown error? Usually more information like a error number is also given.

Daughter's iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode, won't turn on after I restore it, please help...

My daughters iPod touch 4th gen is STUCK. Somehow it was disabled because of too many password attempts (my younger daughter was pushing numbers). I connected it to iTunes, did the press and hold power button + home button, then let go of sleep button. iTunes recognized it, gave me the option to restore it and did its thing. Here's the problem, now it won't GET OUT of that mode. After the first attempt, it wouldn't power on after I disconnected it from the computer. So I hooked it up again, and it says its detected an iPod in recovery mode and offers me the same "update & restore" option it did originally. Now what??? Please help. My daughter just got this two weeks ago for her birthday.

Unable to connect Ipod 4th Gen to BTFON or BTOpenZ...

I have an ipod 3rd Gen which works fine, but have just started using a 4th gen IPOD and when I click on Settings/Wifi then select BTFON or BTOPENZONE, it then goes to a login in screen (welcome to the hotspot) with 3 options at the top (Total Boradband, BTFON, BT Open Zone). I click to select one of them, and then login using my btinternet details, but nothing happens when I select Total Broadband, the screen just refreshes and I've not connected. If I select BTFON or BTOPENZONE, then it says login failed.
The ipod works fine using my normal wifi connection on my Hub but I cant connect to BTFON or BTOPENZONE which show in the list.
I have opted in as I only became a BT customer 2 months ago, and as I say, it works fine on my 3rd gen ipod.
Can anyone help?

I should have mentioned it, but when I get apps from the app store, I don't get them from my computer, I get them from the wifi connection in my home through my father's Apple ID. This is the only way anything purchased from iTunes gets onto my iPod, because the rest of content ( music) is promotional mixtapes.

When charging my IPod 4th Gen I get the charging error

I have an Ipod 4th generation running on the latest Version of IOS, (6.1.3), and when ever I try to charge it, I get the 'Charging Is not avaliable with this accesory'. The charging cord is an Apple USB cord, and an LG USB to wall outlet converter. I had a previous charger that was an unofficial apple charger. It used to work, but recently Its been getting the error too. (By unofficial I mean not an Apple Product) If you have any Idea or need anymore Information Please Reply!
Thank You,
~Trevor

Try on another computer

On an Ipod 4th Gen, I get a blank screen in the apple apps screen. Any suggestions on how to get the blank screen off?

On the app store app, I only get a blank/white screen. If I search for an app, nothing happens, only the blank/white screen. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
