IPod touch just shows picture of USB and iTunes logo with CD, won't turn on

I can't get my iPod touch to turn on to the home page. All it does when I turn it on is I get the apple symbol for a sec and then it shows this picture of a USB cord and iTunes logo with a CD. I've tried pushing the home button and power button down together and that didn't work. And I uninstalled all iTunes stuff and reinstalled it and still nothing. Help me!

I had to disable my wireless to get my IPOD to be recognized by ITUNES. it got stuck in that same screen you describe. another thing you can try is connecting it to another pc that has itunes and then connect it back to the original pc. you will just have to overwrite the library when you connect it back to the original.

    the help pagers just bring me around in circles.  the ipod doesn't show up in system devices under the busses.  i've tried just about everything.  Im using windows xp at home and though maybe it was because of that. so went to a relatives and used a brand new lap top avus with windows 7 and it wont show up here either.  When i got the ipod a few days ago from a third party the only screen i could get to come up was a picture of a usb cord with an arrow pointing towards the itunes logo.  I downloaded i tunes and couldn't get it to change.  brought it to at&t store today they hooked it up with my usb cord to thier computer and suddenly the menu screens work and i could even get online with it yet when i try to hook it up to one of my computers it doesn't show up anywere where can i go to get this fixed and fixed quick jumping around the apple help pages have put me in a foul mood and im sick of it two days spent trying to get it to show now.  im sick of waiting around i need help asap so i can return this **** thing if it turns out it is broken somehow..which i dont think it is.

  • IPod touch randomly shows graphic of USB into iTunes

    I have read other questions/replies but I didn't really read the answers that I thought pertained to me.
    I have had my 4th gen iPod touch for 14 months now, been using it with no problem.
    In the middle of being on it, the screen faded to black and shows the graphics of a USB plugging into the iTunes symbol.
    I tried to press the home button and turn it off as well, but when I turned it back on, it went back to the same screen.
    I plugged it into my computer, which won't even reckognize it (never happened before)
    Not sure what to do next.
    I read posts about restore and reset, but I wanted to be sure I knew what was going on.
    I can't back anything up however, because like I said, the computer won't "read" it. I even tried another cord, a plug in, and tried another "i" product to make sure it was my particular iPod touch that was having the connection issue.
    So here it sits, plugged into my laptop, with nothing happening and that dang graphic staring me in the face...
    Any ideas community friends??
    Thanks,
    T

  • ATV2 Not showing in iTunes, and bricked, showing micro usb and iTunes logos

    Hey all,
    I was given an ATV2 for christmas a few weeks early, purchased new from Big W (Australia). I happily plugged it in on the 14th or 15th December (I can't quite remember, but I did find out later itunes match went live to a bunch of countries that day, which is why my itunes account crashed). I plugged it in, with the HDMI cable I purchased from australian apple store online, and the power cable. I connected happily to my home network, and started scrolling through the features. I came to a point in setup where it asked for my itunes ID and password. I entered these and it told me it couldn't recognise the apple ID or password.
    I tried again, same. I checked my mac to see if it was iTunes or the ATV2 that had a problem... tried to log in, and it said the same error msg. Same on my iPhone and iPad. So I knew itunes was down, and later found out it crashed internationally for some people as itunes match went live.
    Unfortunately for me, as I got that first error msg, I aborted trying to set up. I then had a pop up on the ATV2 asking me to update the software (I run the latest software on my mac, ipod, ipad, and have latest itunes by the way), I can't remember which version it had, but it asked me to update, and not knowing the login issue was accross platforms, I tried to log in again and update, hoping it was more a software issue. It seemed to begin updating then pop up with the same itunes error that it couldn't recognise the apple ID or password. At this point the device suddenly showed the micro USB to itunes logo and it became apparent it wanted me to plug into itunes for some R&R. Of course I didn't have a micro usb cable, and had to wait a week or so to get one since I live in the country with no tech shops around. It arrived and I tested it on my itrip as a charging cable. It charges my iphone nicely while plugged into the griffin itrip. So the cable works. I plugged the ATV2 into my imac (latest OSX 10.7.2 and latest itunes 10.5.2) and it doesn't come up in itunes at all. I tried a different USB port in the back of the computer as opposed to the keyboard. No luck. I tried plugging in the power cord as well, no luck. I tried a reset via ATV2 remote holiding the menu and down buttons until the LED light flashes super super fast (as opposed to its current fast flashing). No luck.
    How do I get this thing to show up in itunes? Or how can I manually reboot it if it won't show? I live nowhere near a genius bar or even the shop where my family member purchased it, and they probably lost the reciept by now anyway so I doubt I could exchange.
    Very dissapointed in Apple for not including HDMI cord or micro usb with the product, not to mention it was Apple's fault itunes crashed right as I was setting up. I'm a huge Apple fan but this is so annoying.
    I have read something about router permissions and so on being a possible cause, is this likely? My ipad, iphone and mac never took issue with our wireless network or router previously, but it was setup a year ago and I have no idea what the settings are exactly. We also have two other imac's and a ibook connecting occasionally at home (big family) and no issues there.
    I have home sharing on, I did everything the manual said. HELP!

    Thanks everyone.
    Alley_Cat I tried a new micro usb, as a last ditch effort before giving up entirely... SUCCESS! How strange the other micro usb charges my iphone via griffin iTrip perfectly, but wouldn't work with apple TV. Perhaps there are different kinds? Even more bizarre than Apple not including it in the box, is that they don't even SELL micro USB's on the Apple australian online store (or at least they didn't when I checked a week ago). Now that is stupid.
    Anyway i'm mid-restore and software update now, fingers crossed!
    Also on the HDMI cable inclusion/not inclusion debate... is it actually possible to use the Apple TV for any reason without one? Because my point is more that there is no way to do anything with the thing, without the cable. Printers that don't include usb connections usually are able to connect to your computer and network wirelessly, therefore perform their intended function without the cable. My point is simply if a device is meant to do something, you buy it expecting to do that thing. I'm lucky I had googled it and knew about the HDMI not being included, but even I missed the micro USB inclusion. At the very least this should be clearly marked on the exterior packaging so you know in store, you have to buy the device + HDMI + micro USB. Isn't Apple all about making 'things just work'?

    Error 1603
    Follow the steps listed below for Error 1604. Also, discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps under Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user. If the issue remains, Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • I was updating my iphone 3gs and when i came back to check on it, all i had on the screen was a usb and itunes logo.  error -1. now my phone won't work. what do i do?

    I have a iphone 3gs and while trying to update tot the new software my phone gave error -1 and went to usb and itunes logo page and says it is in recovery mode. I have tried to get it out of this mode but have had no luck. My iphone is not jailbroken, so i don't know why this is happening.

    The device is in recovery mode. Connect it to iTunes and the computer and you need to restore it.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the iPhone 3GS can only be updated as far as 4.2.1
    Requirements for WhatsApp are iOS 4.3 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.
    As noted here >  WhatsApp Messenger for iPhone on the iTunes App Store
    So that app cannot run on the iPhone 3GS.
    I stand corrected but apparently you may not be able to update the device regardless.

  • TS2634 Why does my apple iPod touch just automatically stop playing songs and it also when I am doing a google search just goes back to the home screen

    My iPod touch just stops playing songs automatically.
    When doing a google search it sometimes times goes back to the home screen.
    Also it sometimes takes several goes before it will accept the charger!
    Would appreciate any help, thanks

    - The charging issue could be due to a poor connection or a problem with the iPod. Try another cable first
    - Try the following, it is mainly for the not playing and other problems:
    Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

         Did you buy your iPod Touch from a friend? If so it is very likely that the prior owner had jailbroken the iPod Touch without telling you. Try ensuring that you have the most up-to-date version of iTunes. Next try to plug in your iPod to your computer by way of usb cord. Then open iTunes and check whether your iPod is recognized. If it isn't recognized try navigating to "My Computer" under start and check whether your iPod appears as a removable device. If your iPod Touch is still not present then try putting your iPod Touch in DFU Mode and attempt to restore it.
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    Placing your device into recovery mode
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
    Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
         If all else fails please demand your money back from whoever sold you this iPod Touch.

  • TS1369 ipod not recognized in my computer or itunes frozen with usb and itunes logo

    My daughter's itouch is frozen with the usb symbol and itunes logo and I have tried EVERYTHING on the apple support site to no avail.  Any suggestions on how to reset it are greatly appreciated!!!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
