1.1.4 - Apple Recovery (iBoot) USB driver

Well, since it only pops up when the iPod touch has new firmware installed or the unit is restored, my guess would be that it forces the unit to boot from an external OS/kernel/etc so the new firmware/OS can be applied over the old one. Maybe the iPod touch's version of OS X needs to be not running in order to replace it or update it. You'll notice that anytime its restored, it reboots itself before anything happens...

Just my guess, though.

Hi

I updated my Ipod firmware to v1.1.4 and now when I plug My Ipod into the computer it displays the screen indicating that I need to plug it itunes but when I do plug it into my computer it pops up this message in the start menu bar that says it needs the iboot recovery thing, and now I can't use my ipod I have restarted my computer and I have turned off and back on the ipod and i have even reinstalled itunes and still no results so if anyone know what i can do to this please let me know

(the reason I am replying to this post is cause i don't know how to start a new one)

Than God i thought i had messes summit up

I'm having exactly the same problem, have you found any answers yet?

Me too. Exactly the same. What's going on?

Apple Recovery (iBoot) USB driver shows up near the task bar to indicate the driver that the device plugged in is using. This usually indicates that the driver was not installed properly for the iPhone or iPod Touch. The driver name that is correct it Apple Mobile Device support. I've only seen the iBoot driver when firewall, UAC, or anti-virus poked its head in when installing itunes and the driver.
