Restore taking HOURS

I allowed iTunes to automatically update my 8G touch from 1.1.2 to 1.1.4. It never finished the upgrade (waited 4+ hours on broadband).

I had to disconnect and go home.

Now I’ve been trying to force this to restore. I can get the restore to start, but this time I am at 5+ hours and waiting. See the little updater circle rotating, but still waiting.

iPodUpdater.log always seems to stop at:

libusbrestore: 0×12F4, 12:21:25.375] => : operation 13 progress 98

If I unplug, well then I have to start all over.

HELP!!!!

iPod Touch, Windows XP Pro, iTunes 7.6.2

It is wired. Normally, it should be completed within 10 minutes at most.

No sure whether it is a problem of your boardband or the computer. Why not do a Restore on a friend computer and see what happen?

Used second computer and let the restore go for about 12 hours. Still stopping on the same message in the log file.

Time for a visit to apple "genius" bar I think.

try the following

1.For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”

If does not work then try to find a Mac computer and do a Restore there.

Otherwise, please go and visit the genius bar

Using XP Pro. Not able to see it in the explorer window. It does let me know that hardware is available (or connected though).
