Updated Ipod 4th gen to iOS 6.1.3

I updated my Ipod 4th gen to iOS 6.1.3 but after the installing the new iOs my ipod stopped working. Now, it's just showing/blinking the apple logo. Help! What happened?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How do I update ipod 4th gen to ios 7 to use aple tv?

Received an aple tv device for christmas. It says it can be used with ipod 4th gen or laterf but I can't update the ios on the ipod to ios7. Please help!

Apple TV only works with bluetooth keyboards, the pairing with IOS is only for setup purposes and requires 5th gen iPod Touch anyway.
You can use basic airplay to stream content through apps (if the developer has enabled it)

Updated Ipod 4th Gen to IOS 6 but now Itunes tells me to restore Ipod and that data could be lost should i restore, it will not let me do anything until i restore

I have an Ipod 4th Generation just now updated to IOS 6 thru Itunes, says update complete but now it tells me to restore the Ipod and data would be lost. I can not do anything till I restore Ipod and I am worried about losing games, music and other apps. Do I restore Ipod and will I lose games and music?

Do you have a current backup of the content of your iPod? If not restoring will remove Apps and their data. The Apps can be replaced at no charge but the data will be lost.
What is the exact message that you are seeing?

During this process it came up with another error. Now, everytime I turn on my iPod, it asks me to connect to iTunes. When i do this, it connects to the computer but doesnt show up in iTunes. How do i fix this?

Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.

Updated iPod (4th generation) to iOS 6 and now it will not turn on...

Updated iPod (4th generation) to iOS 6 and now it will not turn on...
It sometimes has the apple on the screen, or says it needs to be charged, or is all white, black, or yellow. I have tried charging it, leaving it alone for a while and turning it off and back on. Nothing has worked. What should I try to do??? Help please!!!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Other uses have had same problem.

I downloaded music to my ipod (4th gen) from my computer but it was mp3 format. It shows that the music is in there but I can not play it. It seems to be in there as a file but not as music.

I downloaded music from my computer to my ipod (4th gen) but I can not listen to it. It shows that it is on there as files but not music is this because the music was format for a mp3. How do I convert it to play on the ipod or move it to the music file?

The iPod can play MP3 files, so that's not the problem.
It sounds like you're accessing the iPod as a disk drive, and copying files in Windows Explorer.
This is not the way to put music on your iPod. You have to install iTunes on your computer, and put your music in iTunes. Then you can use iTunes to select the music you want on your iPod.

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Trouble with updating iPod 4th gen.

I tried updating my iPod touch 4th gen to the newest update, but it wouldn't load. Now my iPod is stuck on the loading screen with the Apple logo and is frozen. I tried restarting it, but it did not respond. I unplugged it from my computer, but now, when I plug it back in, the computer doesn't recognize it. What should I do to fix this problem?

Put your iPod into DFU mode (instructions can be found here http://osxdaily.com/2010/06/24/iphone-dfu-mode-explained-and-how-to-enter-dfu-mo de-on-your-iphone/ ) and iTunes should then be able to see it as a device.

Update iPod tough 2g from ios 3.13 to 4.2.1

How do I update my iPod T 2g from original 3.1.3 to 4.2.1.
It was a brand new, in box until I decided to use it today. It was part of the purchase of a MBP in 2010.
iTunes won't update it after the download of the newer firmware, saying the iPod is not eligible.
What is my next course of actions?
Thanks,
TT

The first thing you need to do is confirm which model of Touch you have.Look at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 which will help you identify your model. look further down that page at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_2nd_generation and examine the pictures. Notice the difference between a 1st and 2nd generation model.
If your iPod is a 1st generation model, it cannot be upgraaded to anything past iOS 3.1.3.
If it's a 2nd generation model, I think I'm right in saying that to upgrade to iOS 4.2.1 (which is as high as a 2nd gen Touch can go) you need to purchase the update. (I've tried finding a speedcific page about this, but have had no luck at the moment, sorry.)

Trouble reset/reformat/update ipod 4th gen

I have the sad face icon appear on my 4th gen 20gb ipod, so i throw it into disk mode and when i connect it to my laptop, the comp recognizes it for a second but then it tries to reset again and the same sad face comes up again. Ive had success with fixing the folder ! icon but have failed in this one.

OK try this
1) with the ipod DISCONNECTED, put it in "Disk Mode"
2) Open task manager (alt,ctrl and del keys), goto the "Process" tab, find "ipodservice.exe" highlight it and hit "End Process"
3) connect the ipod to the PC, goto "My COmputer" rightclick the ipod and hit format, UNCHECK "Quick format" and hit start.
4) When its done, safly disconnect the ipod from the PC and restart the PC so the "ipodservice.exe" is started back up
5) Open the ipod updater located in start>all programs>ipod
6) with the ipod still in "Disk mode" connect it to the PC and hit "Restore" on the ipod updater

Can't update iPod 5th gen to iOS 7.0.4

y son received an iPod 5th gen for Christmas but it hasn't been updated so it is using the 6.1.3 version. My MacBook and the iPod itself won't update, any ideas on how to fix this please?

Update Server
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
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Volume and Lock buttons stopped working after new iOS 4.3.3 update (ipod 4th gen)

After I updated my ipod with the iOS 4.3, the volume and lock buttons stopped working.
This has happened before and it'sprobably one of the most annoying problems ever.
The lock button tends to stop working but then works again only when it wants to, but the volume buttons dont work at all.
When the locked button worked again I turned it off and turned it on again, but it didnt fix the problem.
I've pretty much tried everything that I've read and nothing seems to work.
So now, I don't know what to do.
Should I take it to a random apple store or to where I bought it from?
It seems that it's happening to almost everyone, so at least I'm not the only one and maybe someone can help me out

If you have restored in iTunes on a computer and the problem remains then it's a hardware fault and it needs to be repaired. When you update the iOS version on an iOS device it checks the hardware components, this is when it'll detect un-diagnosed hardware faults and the components will stop working... even if they were working previously

Error -1 while updating iPod 2nd Gen to iOS 2.2 to 4.2

Hi All,
I had 2nd gen ipod touch and it had some touch screen problem. I went to apple and paid 99$ for replacement as my ipod touch was out of warranty.
Came home plugged in the touch, itunes asked me to update to iOS 4.2. Currently I am having iOS 2.2 on the touch.
When I tried to update, itunes downloaded the file, extracted it and threw me an error "ipod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1)"
I have tried all the steps found on apple sites but nothing seems to be working for me
I tried steps like, updating itunes to latest version, Mac OS updates, restarting...
uninstalling the s/w which are used to jailbreak some of my prev ios devices etc.,
please help me
Regards
-Hari

Error 1 or -1
This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. That seems to be your case. ake an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
