Unable to update, reset or restore.  I follow all KB articles, nothing.

The only image I can see on my iTouch is the one that appears in Paragraph 4 on this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.
I have tried updating, resetting, and restoring the iTouch. Three times I have tried the restore function (251.1 mg, 48 minutes each time), without effect. I have tried different computers, nothing. Since I can't get past that one image I can't try to register it as a new device.
If it means anything, the Summary Page says: Device: iPod; Capacity: N/A; Version: N/A; Serial No.: N/A.
Since the Summary Page can't seem to ID the device with any particularity, I'm afraid the drive has been somehow wiped.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you try to delete the ipod software file located in user/library/iTunes/ipod software updates/ to make iTunes download a new copy when you connect in recovery mode. Maybe the file stored on your mac is damaged.
Also make sure Apple Mobile Device Service is working: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747

    Hi,
    Did you talk about the Microsoft Azure Active Directory Sync tool ?
    If yes, this issue occurs if one or more of the following conditions are true:
    An object in the on-premises Active Directory has an SMTP address that's the same as the SMTP address of the object that's reporting the problem.
    An object in the on-premises Active Directory has a mail attribute that's identical to the object that's reporting the problem.
    An object already exists in your organizational account and has the same SMTP address or mail attribute as the object in the on-premises Active Directory
    More detail information, please refer to:

    Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
    You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

  • HT201210 during a software update on my ipad it crashed.  I can no longer see it in itunes. and the picture on the ipad shows the cord and the itunes icon.  I have attempted to restore following all instructions and nothing helps.  any advice?

    I attached Ipad to my computer to sync.  I received a message indicating there was a new version of the software.  During the update, the Ipad crashed.  The screen on the ipad is showing the iTunes icon and the USB cord. The ipad no longer shows up in my devices.   I have followed all instructions online to reset the ipad,and I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it.  No change. The same screen appears on the ipad within seconds of turning it on.

    Same here.  And iTunes doesnt recognize the ipad anymore, even though it works fine with my iphone.  Plugged the ipad into my other laptop, i get the recovery mode message, but nothing works.
    Tried calling apple support, but since my 90 days of free phone service is past, those morons want me to buy applecare.  Yea, ill pass. 

  • Unable to update podcasts in iTunes 9 if all files are gone

    I updated to iTunes 9 today. I have discovered that if there are no episodes in a podcast, then I can't update the podcast. I have to leave at least one episode in there and then I can right click and select update podcast. If I delete all episodes and right-click, the only two selections are now "Show description" and "delete".
    Prior to this, once I deleted all episodes, I could still right click and select update podcast. Is this a real bug and if so, should I downgrade to the last version of iTunes before this update?
    My thanks goes to anyone who can assist with this enquiry.

    I immediately noticed this same problem after upgrading to iTunes 9. The only workaround that I've found is to click Refresh in the bottom right corner, but this updates all of my podcasts.
    Also, I'm still trying to figure out the re-structured Podcasts tab. I want to sync all episodes of all podcasts to all of the appropriate Smart Playlists on my iPod, but the only way to do that is to use the "selected podcasts" option rather than "all podcasts" like I did in iTunes 8. That does not make sense to me.
    It doesn't seem that Apple thought through these podcast changes very well for iTunes 9.

  • My Ipod Classic (160G) no longer synchs completely with iTunes (93G).  Have reset and restored to no avail.  AM about to try roll back to a previous version of iTunes, which has been on auto update.

    My iPod Classic (160G) used to sync flawlessly with iTunes (93G).
    Recently, there seem to be fewer folders syncing.  In particular, it is not syncing more recent adds.  It also occassionally refuses to sync at least one mp3 downloaded from  Amazon.com, giving an unable to sync message with an error code or 50.
    I'm running iTunes version 10.7, and the software (2.04) on myiPod is current.
    I only use the iPod for music.  I have only one playlist.
    Reset and restore did not fix the problem; I'm considering rolling back to a previous version of iTunes.  Are there any other  ideas to consider? 
    Please advise.
    Thanks,

    See this older thread for some possible solutions.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3924425?tstart=0
    iTunes and its sync process with your iPod have been know to choke once the amount of data that needs to be transferred, replaced, or updated, reaches a certain size limit in GBs.

  • Unable to update apps on iPad mini. I have even restored the iPad and now I can't download any of my previously purchased apps.

    Can someone help me. I am using an iPad mini with iOS 7.0.4 with wifi connection. Have had no problems until recently when I was unable to update apps and then noticed that some apps would open but no data would be available in apps like intelicast and Pinterest. I have restored the iPad and now I am unable to download any of my previously purchased apps.

    1. Make sure iPad is using the latest software
    2. Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
    3. Make sure Time Zone is correct
    4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

    Besweet, I'm having the very same problem with 60GB colour which was bought new and worked for 6 months before suddenly just not being recognised by PC. I hadn't changed anything at all.
    I've followed all troubleshooting advice and reinstalled and updated iTunes and iPod updater software but all troubleshooting routes seem to hit the dead end of either the need to access the iPod via the PC (which isn't possible as it's not showing up at all) or the iPod in disc mode stuck at "ok to disconnect".
    It's still under 1yr warranty so will have to take to a dealer.
    I'm sorry that's not much help for you but at least you know it's not a unique problem.

  • Ipod: Unable to reset or restore

    My Ipod (click wheel) will not reset or restore. The apple logo appears on the Ipod screen, followed by the file with an exclamation point. I have tried to use Ipod updater without success. The Ipod does not register that it is charging either when plugged into the power adapter or the Mac using the USB cable. The Ipod is not recognized by Itunes either. After the latest attempt to reset and restore, the Ipod made whizzing noises like it was attempting to continuously restart. It finally stopped. The Ipod is more than a year old and out of warrantee. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    I was having a similar problem with my Click Wheel iPod. It would reset when plugged into the wall, but would not restore. It kept causing both My Computer and Updater 11-27-2005 to crash. I assumed the problem was with iTunes 6, which I recently downloaded, but I took my iPod to a Mac Store anyway to see if they could do anything with it at the Genius Bar. The guy behind the bar was very helpful; he restored my iPod in about 2 minutes, I took it home, re-imported all my music, and it's been fine ever since.
    My iPod is about 1.5 years old, and although I purchased the iPod AppleCare extended service plan, the Genius Bar guy didn't ask me anything about my iPod's warranty status. Didn't ask to see a receipt or anything. He just helped me out and sent me on my way. So I'd suggest taking your iPod in and seeing if they can restore it for you. You may find that being out of warranty isn't an obstacle. It's worth a shot.
    Hope this helps.

  • I am unable to update/restore my iPhone on my MacBook after attempting to downgrade iTunes 10 to iTunes 9.2

    I am unable to update/restore my iPhone on my MacBook after attempting to downgrade iTunes 10 to iTunes 9.2. I am currently running iTunes 10 on my MacBook right now because it was my only option to get iTunes back on my MacBook. Everything is fine with syncing my device but the only problem I keep encountering is the restoring and updating options. When I restore my device it tells me that It could not be restored at this time. When I update it, iTunes tells me that it cannot complete the current build. I know for a fact I am missing some files that were deleted when I attempted the downgrade. Anybody know what files I am currently missing that is causing this?

  • HT4623 I updated my 4S and now I cannot access my wifi due to a glitch in your software.  I have reset, and restored my phone numerous times and my wifi button is still greyed out.   Your phone tech blamed my phone and said it would cost $199 to replace. 

    I cannot turn my wifi on.  The button is greyed out.  This problem started after I update my software.  First tech I spoke to said it was my problem because I chose to update the software and since I was out of warrenty, I would have to pay $19.99 for service agreement before anyone would talk to me.  The next tech admitted this had happened to ssomeone else and stated it was a problem with my phone triggered by the software update, and because I was 57 days out of warrently, it would cost me $199 for replacement phone.   So basically, anyone that chooses to upgrade their software, risk messing up their access to wifi and have to pay the developer of the software to fix the problem, their program caused.  Does anyone have a clue how to fix this.  Why wasn't I informed of the risks that could occur if I updated my device.

    FYI, this is a user to user technical support forum.
    No one from Apple monitors, reads, or responds here.
    Try the following:
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network settings
    If the Wi-Fi is still not working, basic troubleshooting from the Users Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    The vast majority of users upgrade with absolutely no issues.
