This still works in 2023..... I've been fighting with an iPod touch that's been stuck in restore mode for five months.... watched all kinds of videos on how to "repair" it.... none worked.... then I found your video.... works great now.... Thank you
That would be an issue with your security on your computer.... you've got it locked so that it can's download from unknown sources.... you should probably youtube to see how to turn off that security feature long enough to download the program you want... then turn the security back on....@@thee12th
It's 2024, bought iPod 2nd Gen for 5bucks. Took me 3hours with no FIX, then came across this video and BAAAAAAAM! It worked! Holy moly. Thank you so much!
You might have figured it out by now but you have to hold the home and power button but dont let it go when the apple logo comes on, just keep holding it down until you see it shows the iTunes logo and a plug. Itunes will recognize it then and you can choose to update or restore
Dude!! Thank you so much! For the last hour I have tried COUNTLESS videos and not a single one worked for me but then I ran across this tried it again expecting it to fail but it worked! I really appreciate your help!
I have an Iphone and this TOTALLY works! I just feel bad that I was ripped off because I had taken it to a tech guy and he overcharged me to fix this same issue once before. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! :)
Trying to download liner A12 and I clicked the make it rain button and it just says waiting for device for a long time. Can’t get past this for some reason.
i reset my ipod and now its stuck on the connect to itunes screen i connected it to my computer but its not even being detected now what should i do D:????
+ImmortalHeroGaming | Minecraft,Raiding And More! Ik it's late but I just had the same issue ok so what I did was hold the power and home button and the same time and wait a few seconds and it should boot back up
not working for me! help me! lime rain keeps saying " waiting for device". It is taking forever. So I started again, but it does not work. does it work for ipads, like the ipad air?
THANK YOU! My iPod Touch 4G was in an endless recovery loop. iTunes kept restoring it, but every time the screen showed the "Connecting to iTunes" image. Following your instructions to use Limera1n worked! I spent HOURS researching this problem and wasted hours of time because one method called for installing iRecovery which killed all of the USB ports on my Win7 64 bit machine!!!! The only fix for that was to re-install Windows. GRRRRRRRRRRR. At least now I have a working PC and iPod Touch 4G!
OMFG thank you! i was updating my friends iPod and this happened. None of the other methods that i tried worked except for this one! i was starting to think i'd have to restore my friends iPod (which would have made him lose everything since his stuff isn't on any iTunes) then i tried this and boom, happy news Jeremy :)
What’s the difference between restore and update check ? Or whichever options appears on the computer 💻? I have an iPod touch 4th generation and don’t know what to do next in steps options?my iPod pops ups as iTunes when charged
If you have this problem you ONLY NEED TO HOLD THE POWER AND HOME BUTTON FOR TEN SECONDS AND THEN IT WILL TURN OFF. After that just press the power button and it turns on normal No need to do this process. TOO LONG
This was like the best info ever, all I can say is "THANK YOU"!!! I tried watching so many different videos and nothing seemed to work, but I followed you step by step and downloaded, "Limerain" and wahlaaah! Finally, the darn thing worked like a charm! Again Thank you! If anybody else is experiencing the same problem I suggest you follow this guy! He was right on the money! My hats off to you!
me and my friend thought we broke our ipods i did this and it worked for me and then it happened to his ipod i repated it on his ipod and WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah same im scared ;;. Myns the 4th gen and its pretty new, i got it about 1 or 2 years ago ;;. I might just go to walmart and see what they can do about it cuz i got my ipod there DX
Jilla os I've just fixed my 2nd gen iPod touch after it was locked in recovery, been looking absolutely everywhere for a fix and i gave up, then I connected my iPod to my old PC, running an early version of iTunes. It actually legit restored, but I tried downgrading itunes on my existing computer but it was having issues. Use your old computers itunes to try restore it! it's worth a shot
before doing this i tried restoring about a million times. everytime itunes would restore it and then say it needed to be restored again. but after doing this i restored it and it works. thanks man!
