Restore won't work on a ipod touch?

There are several reset techniques for the iPod Touch. First: Do a hard reset. Turn the iPod Touch off (if it will turn off) and let it sit off for at least 30 seconds.

Now hold down on the "Home" button (the round button with the square drawn on it), and while holding down on it hit the power button at the top of the iPod Touch. Hold down on both for at least 10 seconds. The iPod Touch should then boot up normally.

If when it reboots you still have the USB plug in icon, then do the next. Second: With the iPod Touch off, connect the dock cable to the bottom of the iPod touch. Make sure the USB end is NOT connected to anything.

Next hold down on the "Home" button. While holding down on the "Home" button, connect the USB cable to your Mac or PC, and keep holding down tell iTunes comes up. This should initiate the next type of reset, and should let you reset the iPod Touch via iTunes.

If need be let iTunes choose the firmware it wants to use, then upgrade from there if need be. NOTE: This second technique will more than likely wipe out any data you have or had on the iPod Touch. You have been warned!

Third: If you can't even turn the iPod Touch off, press and hold the Power button and the "Home" button at the same time for at least ten seconds. The red power off slider should eventually appear. Fourth: If none of these work I would recommend taking it to an Apple store, and see if they can do their reset magic there.

I found a few forums and blogs on the subject that may help you. If these don't work might have to make an appointment at your local Apple Store. ipodtouchfans.com/forums/showthread.php?... http://www.pctoday.com/Editorial/article.asp?guid=&searchtype=0&article=articles/webonly/techsupport/453w10/453w10.asp&articleid=48833&WordList=&bJumpTo=True.

My daughter has this ipod and we have incountered this problem as well. What had helped us was itunes. It has a restore option in the tools.

Please contact me if you have more issues and I will help you step by step.

I believe you've gone through a lot of troubleshooting steps, yet nothing happens. With all their advices, I suggest you try to test your gadget using electronic test equipment. Its hard to fix the problem if you don't know where the error started.

Other electronic gadgets' errors were identified when tested with these instruments.

You may try this to solve your problem! Plug into pc and will connected try to force restore ipodtouchfans.com/forums/...ead.php?t=2790 sorry long read but I see basically your touch is in a loop and keeps freezing download the 1.1.1 firmware once in force restore and itunes sees it hold shift and select restore window should open for you to select the 1.1.1 fw you downloaded point to it click ok and it should restore Not sure if this will work I have down it with my iphone and the steps are a little more involved due to the need to restore the baseband firmware even after itunes restore " with iphone" you get a restore error but phone actually has been restored don't know if it work the same for touch.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
