Ipod Touch Restore Error (14) solution

[Elwasyet]

Thanks bro, this hella worked. I replaced the battery in this 4th gen touch and it wouldn't restore, and it had never been previously jailbroken so I was baffled. Turns out it was just itunes, and I never even bothered to try and restore it on a different computer, but this trick worked!!

[Bobay4224]

Now my itunes wont detect my iphone at all?!?! Please help!!!

[EpicFC7]

Easier way to get rid of Error 14:

When clicking Resore, hold down the SHIFT key on your computer (Windows).

Then, you must select the Restore firmware - (For my iPod 4G I chose 5.1)

Then it will work like a charm :)

YOU ARE THE MAN HOMIE!

[kemooo1417]

Thanks A LOT!!!!!!!!!

[colsum69]

Works great Cheers!!!!!!!!!

[george12345678910az]

does the same principle apply to the 4th gen ipod touch?

[ThomasGrillo]

I'm on win 7, and can't find any of the paths you describe in your video.

[soulmsg]

@ThomasGrillo You probably can't see appdata! Go to C: drive then click on Users, then your click on your Username, then inside that you should see the appdata folder. If not go click Organize -> folder and search options -> View tab -> Show hidden folders. That will make the appdata folder appear. Then inside the appdata folder click Local -> Apple Computer -> iTunes --> then delete the two files you see! Hope that helps... :)

[ThomasGrillo]

@soulmsg Thanks for the reply, and assist. Happy holidays! :)

[soulmsg]

@ThomasGrillo No probs... U too... :)

[shimmyshana]

@soulmsg Thanks- this is really really helpful, I was lost for hours trying to work it out but after you step by step help-- i could just do it-- thanks to ANT0237 as well ! :)

[northbadda]

you know what dude? You are a fucking beast! :D.. i have been trying to bypass this for ages. and it finally worked! Thanks a lot dude. And to the guys for whom this didn't work, chill out. ANTO237 was just trying to help and he did helped a lot of ppl. But ITUNES IS FUCKING GAY! Not all solutions works for everyone. And again, thanks a lot man. :)

[bleachpornal]

really wish i understand your accent, is it "app data" or "updater"?

[soulmsg]

@bleachpornal Appdata! lol

[TheStarsAreWatching1]

To Windows 7 users:

In order to see App Data, you must first go to control panel, then folder options, then click the view tab and select "show hidden files..."

[zakaryw99]

I hope it works boiiI!

[TheXjere]

thank's, i owe you one

[Dudeatrix]

I love you

[Dudeatrix]

where is this on windows 7

[Wimpycow]

If you have a different language the app data file also might be in another language. For instance my language is Norwegian, and my app data is named "Programdata"

[NerdyNiko]

For anyone who can't find the appdata folder go to search then folder options then go to the view tab and check off show hidden folders. Then go back to your username and the folder will be there!

[ANT0237]

you will need to put (w w w). Before and . Com after heads also . (h t m) after all without spaces

[ANT0237]

Many thanks for all the positive feedback would really appreciate it

[joet1996]

Absolute Legend : ) One suggestion mate, if people do not know how to get to 'App data' you should put step by step in descripton! :P But awesome!

[Sheepy2405]

Brilliant Video for the job. I used to it to sort out my iPhone 4 after a failed update brought up Error 14. Cheers. For those who can't find Appdata just do what I did and type it into the search bar under "all programs" on the start menu.

the only problem was u were going a little too fast i couldnt keep up but i paused so i could do what you told me. overall it was great

[Wiejeben]

It doesn't work? I still get 14 error

[callspiderpig]

Alright, still trying it, but

To those of you unable to find your "appdata" folder, you need to enable viewing hidden folders.

click start, then click control panel. in Vista, click "view classic mode", or in 7, change the view mode from "categories" to "large icons". then click "folder options". click over to view (a tab at the top), then find the option that says "Show hidden folders"- In win 7, it's the only bubble instead of a square box. accept, and appdata should show.

Hope this works!

[alexmckelvey123]

err yeh i cant find that app data thing please help.

I had error 9 then sorted tht out now i got error 14 :(

[yeppun18]
