Updating to iOS 5 and restoration problems for iPod touch

I tried updating my iPod touch, I think second generation, to iOS 5 last night and when it didn't work I tried to restore it to which it now only shows a usb and iTunes logo. iTunes won't do anything with the iPod while it is plugged in, only saying it is verifying iPod restore with Apple which has been the message I've had for almost 24 hours. I tried to shut down iTunes to see if it would make a difference but when I try i get a message saying it cant quit because it's retoring the software on the iPod. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

The error on the ipod is a usb pointing to itunes logo
The itunes error is saying: "Verifying iPod restore with Apple..."
When I try to quit iTunes it says: "iTunes cannot quit because it is restoring the software on 'Eddie's iPod."

Since updating to iOS 6, my 4th gen iPod touch, and my 3rd gen iPad has sound in and out. Sometimes it's on, and then all of a sudden, no sound. I've tried everything from restarting to fully resetting each one starting fresh, but nothing. Please help.

I have exactly the same problem. I have tried almost everything and I am nowhere near an Apple shop as I am working in Africa.
Did you manage to find a solution? Help please if possible. Regards Az

Are you logged in with the same account that was used to activate the phone ? If you are, and the apps aren't showing as free, then try logging out of your account by tapping on it at the botto of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then log back in and see if they then show as free.

No
. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.

It's already out.
Give this a try:
Download iTunes 11.1. Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes. Select your device under the Devices heading in the iTunes' sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in iTunes' main window. Click on the Update button.
Note that the update servers are under heavy strain today.

Where can i find ios 3 firmware files for ipod touch 2nd genertion

I have looked everywhere, but i cant find any firmware downloads for ios 3.1.3 for ipod touch 2nd generation. Everywhere i have looked they have only had ios 2 and 4 but no ios 3! And the rare chance i do find a link it does not work. Where can i find a real source to download the firmware IOS 3.1.3 on ipod touch 2nd generation, not 3rd generation not 1st generation. Please help

Nowhere. If you manage to find one, iTunes won’t allow it to be installed, and if you somehow bypass that, the device won’t activate.

Users Guide and Users Manual for iPod Touch 4?

Has anyone located the PDFs for the "Users Guide" and "Users Manual" for iPod Touch 4? I can't seem to find them.
TIA
Judie

In addition to the "User's Guide" there has also been a PDF "Features Guide" for each version of the iPod touch. (The one iwell provided a link for is not for the 4th generation iPod touch. (The 'at a glance' sketch shows the on/off button on the left. It's on the right on the 4th generation iPod touch.) It's possible Apple hasn't posted it yet. But I appreciate you both for trying. Thank you.

Problem after updating to iOS 8.1 on my iPod touch 5th gen

I just want to report to Apple that after updating my iPod Touch 5th Generation to iOS 8.1, my iPod just shuts down by itself from time to time. The only way you can turn it on is by pressing the top right button and the home button at the same time. You can't turn it back on anymore by just pressing the top right button or by charging it like I used to. Is this one of the bugs that Apple needs to fix? Am I the only one who have this problem??

Try:
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Download restore file and 3.0 for Ipod touch and ipods*****************

I need restore a couple of my ipod and I also need to download the 3.0 for my ipod touch. my problem is that im out to sea and when I get to about 170mb it fails and I have to start all over. 1st question why in apple's infinate wisdom did they not allow you resume download and 2nd is there a way to restore without having to connect to the internet?
I bought the 3.0 for my touch and it frustrating because i will have been running the download for 5 hours and to have it fail *****.....

my problem is that im out to sea and when I get to about 170mb it fails and I have to start all over
That's probably more to do with your internet connection than any problem with Apple's servers, otherwise other people would be suffering the same. Maybe you need to try again on a more reliable and faster internet connection when you can.
1st question why in apple's infinate wisdom did they not allow you resume download and
If you pause the download in the download queue you can resume it.
2nd is there a way to restore without having to connect to the internet?
The restore process does not need a connection to the internet, but obviously you need an internet connection to actually download the update before restoring commences.

Just downloaded IOS 4.3.4 for IPod touch 4G. and can't install it to it.

Well, the Download failed several times via iTunes, so I have downloaded it from another source of the Internet. How can I get it on my iPod touch 4g?

Put the downloaded .ipsw file in the <user/library/iTunes/iPod Software Update/> folder.
then start iTunes, connect the iPod, and click the iPod in the left navigation panel, Alt-Click on the "Restore" button. Go to the folder where you placed this file and "choose" it. (When you just click Restore it will work also, but with Alt-Click you are sure to have the new file!).
Reply with the result.

RE: New update and added apps for ipod touch

I would prefer that an Apple moderator answer this, so I can get the actual answer...
So... does this upgrade for the Touch NOT include the To Do capability in iCal? If so, why not? Is this ever going to be released? It seems absurd to not include this in an update, when it's such a simple feature. I know I can create a "to do" list in notes, but the point of having a To Do is to be able to check it off as done with a simple touch.
If this is not the case, is there an idea of when I'll actually be able to have the To Do portion of iCal on my Touch?
Thanks,
-CE

Apple has stated "this fall". Which could be anytime from September to December.

Help, Recovery/Restore error For ipod touch 2g

Hi, im hoping someone can help my because I really dread sending it away.
I've had my ipod for a total of seventeen days +(touch 2g 8gig),+ and yesterday when I plugged it into sync to the computer it was showing no music on it and about 4 gig of "other". After this, I disconnected it and checked on my ipod and I had seen that all my music was erased, and I couldnt find the 4 gig of other?
Anywho, I decided to restore it to its original settings.
Shortly into the restore I get an error message(14), and after I get this it booted into recovery mode and says I must restore before I can use it, but the problem is everytime I try to restore I get the same error message.
I have tried all the steps on the support page for error codes and still nothing.
I'd really like to resolve this and not have to send it away.
Any help would be greatly appreaciated
Thanks

FINALLY someone with the same problem as me. Exact same, and still unsolved...
I got the iPod Touch 2g 8GB on the 27th of December and on the 25th of January, I plug it in to Sync more music, and it says I have approx. 4gb of 'other', then my music was all gone...
I have tried update and restore ATLEAST 50 times by now and Soon, I'll give up hope and send it away. I even try the Shift+Restore method (I use XP) and get either error unknown (1) or error unknown (5) when i try it in DFU mode.
I hope someone helps solve our, as I love the iPod Touch.
Any help would be appreciated.
P.S, I have NOT tried to jailbreak it.

ITunes won't automically update to IOS 5 when connecting to iPod Touch

I followed the directions to connect my iPod to iTunes and it won't initiate the upgrade to IOS 5. When I clicked on the check for updates button, I get a message that I am current. Being that I am on version 4.2.7 I find that hard to believe. I also tried a Manual download of IOS 5 and that did not work either.

Do you mean iOS 4.2.1? If so, it means you likely have a 2G iPod Touch, which can only go as high as iOS 4.2.1. See this article to help you determine what generation of your iPod Touch is.
