Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) and frozen "Connect to iTunes" screen

I have had my iPod Touch for about one year and have synced with my PC (XP) without incident during that time. Yesterday something happened while connecting with iTunes and I have not been able to find the solution on this board or others. Maybe the charge remaining in the iPod was insufficient. The iPod screen is frozen with the "Connect to iTunes" icon. I can turn it off (black screen) but as soon as it is attached to the PC or docked, the same icon reappears. I cannot make the red slider appear to shut it down.
On the PC side, as soon as I attach the iPod, it wants to install the driver for "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)". I have attempted to point it to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers find the driver, but what it wants is not there. I have completely uninstalled iTunes, Quicktime and related files; and reinstalled iTunes. I have tried every trick I can find in this forum and others to no avail. When the iPod is connected to the PC, the device manager shows Other Devices - Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) with a yellow question mark and exclamation point. This device shows twice. The Apple Mobile Device USB Driver shows under Universal Serial Bus Controllers and is working properly.
I am at the end of my rope. I hope somebody that can help me will read this. Thanks.

Hi
I am experiencing the same problem as the person in the first thread as follows:
"The iPod screen is frozen with the "Connect to iTunes" icon. I can turn it off (black screen) but as soon as it is attached to the PC or docked, the same icon reappears. I cannot make the red slider appear to shut it down.

I have tried everything I can think of and have been advised to do on the Apple Support pages but this makes no difference.
Please can someone offer a solution.

  • Windows can't find Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode) after iTunes 9.2 upg

    Hey guys!
    My iPhone 3G (3.1.3) and iTunes (9.1) has been working normally when I upgraded iTunes to the 9.2.0.61 version to install the OS4 in my iPhone.
    After this, when my iPhone turn on in Recovery Mode, Windows cannot find the driver "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)" and the iTunes can't upgrade to OS4.
    If I turn on my iphone in normal mode, Windows can install successfully the driver and iTunes recognize the iPhone.
    I put my iPhone in another PC (with Windows XP and iTunes 9.1) and the Windows found and installed the iPhone drivers in Recovery Mode. But, in this computer, I've also tried upgrade the iTunes to 9.2 version and the same Problem has benn ocurred.
    Someone else has the same problem???
    Thanks for help!

    I GOT THE SOLUTION!!
    This problem happens due a conflict between the Samsung's Software "NEW PC STUDIO" and the Apple Drivers!
    The solution is unistall all Samsung's Software and removing all Apple Softwares as well (like iTunes, device drivers etc)
    Then cleaning the Windows Register with some software like CCleaner AND manually using REGEDIT, just find for Samsung (carefully with other Samsung Devices like HardDrive. You musn't remove something like that) then, finding for New PC Studio.
    Remove all Keys related Samsung New PC Studio.
    Restart your PC and reinstall iTunes lastest version.
    Now, you can put your iPhone in Recovery Mode that Windows will recognize it!

    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 to restore the phone using Recovery Mode. You will lose all content on the phone. This is the only way to bypass the lock screen if you don't have the last computer the phone was synced to.

  • IPad - Windows Vista unable to locate Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)

    Hey everyone , I am at my wits end trying to fix this problem . Having spent hours and hours researching a solution I am no closer to finding a resolution.
    The problem began during a software update last week ( I have an original iPad , prior to this I had used it on my PC for nearly 12 months without issue).
    During the software update it started coming up with a "Found New Hardware Apple Mobile Device Recovery mode" then "Browse for Driver software" , so I direct it to C:ProgrammeFiles\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Driver etc .... however it still cant locate it.
    Now - the iPad is stuck in Recovery Mode. It has been nearly a week now.
    Here is what Ive tried
    Confirmed Apple Mobile USB installed and working
    Followed the Apple Support prompts re drivers to a tee
    Tried manual update of Driver
    Updated to latest iTUNES
    Uninstalled then reinstalled driver
    Read post after post on "similar" issues
    Nothing is helping
    Please , please , please , pleeeeeeeeeease can you guys help ?
    Please note following
    My iPOD Classic is recognised fine by my PC and is 100% working
    I havnt completely deleted itunes then reinstalled because post after post tells me this doesnt fix this particular issue
    During the software update initially it was coming up with a 604 error / Restore as well as the Driver issue , now my ipad is not recognised at all by Windows
    Yes - I could take it too another PC to restore , but I want it synced to my PC and ITUNES library
    I feel I'm no Computer Dummy , but this one is a total head scratcher
    Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp !!!!!!!!!!

    Fixed.
    Took iPAD to Apple store who restored back to factory setting.
    Brought home and it synced fine
    Back up and running
    Diagnosis ? probably some soft ware update glitch
    Lesson ? - dont waste your time reinstalling Itunes for this problem

  • Iphone gone into recovery mode and wont connect to itunes or allow me to turn it on

    i tried to downlaod the new software and now phone has gone into recovery but wont connect to itunes or allow me to turn phone back on

    Hey Justinrulz108,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Your issue sounds similar to the device not being recognized in iTunes while in recovery mode. It may be good to attempt the troubleshooting in the following article:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Refer to Step 5 "Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed" and the sub-section titled "If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode". Here is an excerpt to get you started (see article for full information, including important additional steps):
    Your device may not be recognized while in recovery mode. This can happen during an update or restore of your device. Typically when your device is in recovery mode, it will show the "Connect to iTunes" logo on its display. If iTunes does not recognize the device when in this state, try the following:
    1. Open the Device Manager:
    Windows XP: Click Start > Run. In the resulting dialog, type devmgmt.msc and press Return.
    Windows Vista or Windows 7: Click Start. In the dialog, type devmgmt.msc and press Return on the keyboard. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click "Continue".
    Windows 8: Move the cursor to the upper right corner, click the magnifying glass, type devmgmt.msc, and press Return.
    2. Click the plus ( + ) icon (Windows XP and Vista) or the disclosure triangle () (for Windows 7 and 8) next to Imaging Devices, Other Devices, Portable Devices, and Universal Serial Bus Controllers to expand these sections.
    3. Check these sections for one or more entries called Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode). These entries may or may not have exclamation marks on them similar to the following:
    [continue with steps]
    Thanks,

    Hi Bobi1346,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities and for including the error number you are getting.
    There's an article for troubleshooting that error.
    iOS: Restore errors 4005, 4013, and 4014
    Try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Restart your computer.
    Make sure your computer is up to date. If an update requires a restart, check for updates again after you restart.
    Learn more about updating OS X.
    Learn more about updating Windows.
    Restore using another USB cable.
    Restore your device on another computer.
    If you continue to see error 4005, 4013, or 4014 when you restore your device, contact Apple for support.
    Take care,
    Nubz
