Update and restore error messages on iPod touch 2nd Gen

Hi folks I'm searching for a solution for the error message I have received when i connected my Ipod touch to my PC. I got notification that there was an update for Itunes available and would i like to download, i chose not to at this time as all i wanted to do was quickly put some music onto the ipod touch. I also had a notification that there was new software updates for the ipod itself, being how have had some of the issues this update was supposed to fix I clicked to download update and install.
since then i have had an error message telling me i now had to Restore my ipod, As it is in recovery mode due to an error occuring during software update. I didnt want to do this as i have not synced the Ipod to the PC in quite some time and had purchased content via itunes and appstore on the ipod itself and was affraid i'd lose all this.
I realised i had to restore to sort the issue out and have been trying in vain to restore the ipod for 2 days now. Every 'fix' or 'solution' on the help page has failed so far. the error message help page is here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
i have done everything on that list and still the issue wont go away, the number in brackets relating to the error message i receive is (14) every time.
I have a log of the last attempt to restore and failing which i copied before sending the information off to Apple. If anyone can help i'll be eternally grateful.
my ipod is a 16gig 2nd gen touch and obviously since its somehow in recovery mode i cant use it at all, and all i have on the screen is the usb cable and the itunes icon.

ok update:
I was looking at other threads that had similar issues as I'm having, I decided to dig in the PC a bit, i went to My computer/C drive/Documents and settings/<user name>/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes/iPod Software updates
to get the Application Data folder to become visible goto the Tools heading and select Folder Options, goto the View tab, then click the radio button that has "Show hidden files and folders" next to it, click apply, click ok. The application Data folder now appears in the directory.
I then Deleted everything inside the iPod Software updates folder.
Turned off my Anti virus and went to http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
I selected my iPod and downloaded the update to my pc. Opened iTunes and shift clicked restore, i found the recently downloaded update on my desktop and installed it. Now my iPod has finally restored! success! yes!!
so now that we have got the iPod working again i need to know, since it is totally blank now what can i do about retrieving the songs, movies, apps and games i have paid for via the ipod touch itself? I have spent a lot of money on these and would like them back. Any ideas folks?
I can see my purchase history when im in iTunes i goto the Store tab and select my account. its all listed there but no option to re-download the content.
Thanks for any help on the matter

  • ITunes updated and no longer syncs with iPod Touch 4th gen

    On January 26, 2014, I updated my iTunes software.  After doing so, my iPod Touch 4th gen no longer syncs with or is recognized by iTunes.  Reinstalling iTunes has not worked.  I suspect that this is a problem created by the iTunes update.

  • Ipod touch 2nd gen stuck on low battery screen and won't turn on, Ipod touch 2nd gen stuck on low battery screen and won't turn on

    My ipod touch was working fine until yesterday it just shut off with about half of charge left. I tried holding the power and home button but nothing. When I plug it into the charging wall outlet the low battery screen pops up and same goes for when I plug it into iTunes on my computer. I let it alone overnight to see if the battery would drain but same thing happened today. What should I do?

    I have never seen this answer before but here's what worked for me and I found it accidentally.
    I have an iPhone and an iPad and I only had 1 charger (my only Apple cord didn't work anymore so I had thrown it out and I thought maybe that was the problem, except my iphone charged fine with my pink cord) by my bedside, so I would just hook up the one that needed it the most before I went to bed.  Well one day I woke up to find that my iPad had a low battery, with the red battery picture. When I plugged it into the charger, it just kept recycling to the Apple logo and then the spinning wheel of death, and back again.
    I did some research and couldn't figure it out. People who thought it was a dead battery still had the same problem after they sent it in and got a new battery  My iPad is not jail broken and half the "solutions" were over my head. I have over 1300 apps on my iPad, not to mention thousands of pictures, that I was just feeling so bereft and sad that I might have lost everything.  So I just let my iPad sit, and drained the whole battery down to the nubbin.  It was 2-3 days without a charger that I just let it sit.
    Then I put it on the charger again and I noticed I still got the red battery symbol, but the red was a thinner slice. I went to work and left it on the charger all day. When I returned, one of my FB notifications came on and bam, there it was, my sign on screen or whatever it's called, where you slide the thingy across. And it was back!!!!!!
    So I was overjoyed.  I'd also had a problem syncing with a warning that it overloaded my USB port. It was a separate problem, but I was able to sync it after that, and my iPhone too, so I was ecstatic.
    Then the battery thing happened again about a week later.  I thought I had been diligent about keeping it charged but it went down after only a day off the charger.  Realized that I had FB and mail notifications notifying me in the startup screen, so that it was constantly turning itself on and off.  I have almost 5000 FB friends and 10 email accounts, so that was a lot of steady activity that I wasn't really aware of.  I have now turned off all notifications to every app, since they also come on my phone AND I bought a 2nd cord, a purple one, so now I'm set and don't expect to ever have that problem again.
    Hope this helps everyone who thought they had a brick.

  • Nike + app missing on iPod touch (2nd gen) after restore

    Memory errors prompted a wipe and restore of my 32GB iPod touch (2nd gen) system. The restore and subsequent reapplication of the 3.x upgrade produced a system without Nike+ software.
    I've had considerable issues with the reliability and accuracy of the software in the past, but now it simply isn't there.
    Has anyone else seen this and does anyone know how to restore that application? (Since it is not available in the app store.)
    Thx

    Well, i have the same problem, but when i go to settings the nike app it just doesn't appear, so, i'm not able to turn it on. Is there any other way to download the nike app?

  • I was downloading updates for ipod touch 2nd gen and twice when I was to processing files stage it clicked off. There was no message on whether it was done or what I was to do next. I needed to reset the ipod. Now what do I do?

    I was downloading updates for Ipod touch 2nd gen and when the process was to the processing files point the screen changed and I wasn't given any idea as to whether the process was complete or not and if it was what was to be done next. I needed to reset the Ipod and now I am wondering what to do . Spend another Hour downloading and whatever amount on processing files and end up where I am now . Whats the next step in finding out what to do? This was the second attempt to do this with the first try happening the same except I am not sure how long the processing files part was.. Any suggestions as to what to try will be greatly appreciated.. Thanks

  • Error code -120 when updating iPod touch 2nd gen 8GB to iOS 4.1

    When i try to update my iPod Touch to iOS 4.1 it gives me an error -120 and it can't backup to the computer.

    [Update and restore alert messages on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275] should be useful. I don't see error 120 specifically but I think the other info might help resolve your problem.
    Hope it helps!

  • My ipod touch 2nd gen has 2.2 and everything you try and do download says it has to have 4.2.1 but when i try to put that on it it says it cant be played on the ipod how do i update the IOS

    Are you  sure you have a 2G iPod? A 2G can go to IOS 4.2.1 via:

    However, a 1G can only go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and 3.1 via:

    It means the device is in recovery mode.  You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
    You may need to connect it in recovery mode manually using the instructions in this Apple support document.

    Try plugging your ipod into your computer. Then start up itunes. Let it load everything. Then click on your ipod and play a song from your ipod's library. Not your itunes library. If it plays the song, then go ahead and stop it, disconnect your ipod, and check the content once again.
    I had the same problem and beleive it or not, this worked. I synced my ipod like 5 times before finding this answer on the web. Let me know if I need to clerify anything.
