- 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.

Have you just tried repairing with Disk Utility?
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

While restoring my iPod touch 4G (iOS 6.1.2), after the "extracting software" step, iTunes says that it cant connect to iPod server. Now my iPod is in recovery mode and I can't do anything. Please Help.

I have Windows 7 installed with the LATEST iTunes software.
I get this message while restoring and now my iPod is in restore mode. When I try to restore it fails after this message pops up. Please tell me a fix to it.
1) I've checked my internet connection. All the sites work perfectly.
2) I've tried it after disabling the windows firewall as well as my antivirus.
3) I've also tried changes with the "hosts" file in Windows>System32>Driveres>etc.
NO HELP WHATSOEVER.
PLEASE HELP.

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- Anything else here
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

- Wait if it is an Apple problem

IPod Touch Second Generation Can't, no.. Wont, Charge (the poor thing is trying)

Hello friendly Apple Experts,
I recently had an unfortunate incident when my iPod touch third generation went for a swim. While we waited for it to recover I dug my old iPod touch second generation out of storage (when it was put it into storage it had been completely restored)
Initially it took several hours to even begin charging. It would go from Charging Logo --> Apple Logo (loading screen) --> Black Screen, and start over again. Eventually it was juiced up enough to get to the home screen. After this it reverted to it's normal three hours, or so, of charge time. At first it was running like it did when it was first bought, the battery life was still exceptional. So I synced it to iTunes and loaded it right up.
However, a few days later we dug the other iPod out of the rice and it seemed to be working just fine. So I began to use both, one for travel, the other for at home. Unfortunately the second generation one was put aside for about four weeks and the battery completely drained. Since I had initially rebooted the iPod it had not been completely drained again. At this point, it has been plugged in for several days and goes in a continuous loop of: Charge Logo --> Apple Logo --> Black Screen and then back again. And on yet another sad note, the battery life for the third generation one has been affected very negatively by its little dip.
To be honest I never wanted the third generation one to begin with, the only reason I bought it was because the second generation’s software became completely obsolete.
Anyway, my questions are...
What has happened to my beloved Second Generation iPod touch?
Is there any way to fix it?
and...
Is there anything I can do to prolong the life of the Third Generation device?
Thanks so much,
A friendly Apple consumer.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.

HT1212 Restoring an iPod touch 5th generation to factory defaults

How do I restore an iPod touch 5th gen? I went through the procedures and it is still in disabled status. I do not have a backup on iTunes.

Locked Out, Forgot Lock or Restrictions Passcode, or Need to Restore Your Device: Several Alternative Solutions
1. iOS- Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. Restoring iPod touch after forgotten passcode
4. What to Do If You've Forgotten Your iPhone's Passcode
5. iOS- Understanding passcodes
6. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.
If the above isn't working for you:
Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

IPod touch second generation 4.2

I have the old and outdated iPod touch second generation with the 4.2 on it and I currently only have the apps that come with it when it's at it's factory setting, and I would like to know how I can get apps that are supported for this operating system without going through the app store and clicking on every app until I find one that will work. Now I do know that's it's considered old but surely there is some way to get apps on this device. I mainly got this to put music, videos, and pictures on and I can do that through iTunes. However, I would like to maybe put Facebook, craigslist, free texting, and possibly a few game apps on my iPod simply because I hate bouncing back and fourth on my phone from text messaging to my Facebook or games or whatever else I may be doing.. Thanks for reading and hopefully I'll get some responses that will be able to help me out

No dice. There are not that many god apps that currently available for the 2G iPod. There is also no way to search only for compatible apps.
FB and a lot of other good apps require iOS 4.3 or greater.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

If it is asking for the screen-lock passcode then:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Otherwise follow varjak paw recommendation
