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.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

And as necessary:
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

My iPod touch 5th gen. is stuck in recovery mode giving me error 3/error 37/etc.
So yeah, it's stuck there. It started happening about a month and a half ago, and when I finally brought it to the Apple Store for the first time they plugged it in and bam it was fixed. It was good for 1-2 weeks, and then suddenly, bam, problem is back and would come back every week or so. Finally, after the third time to the store, the employee ran some sort of test to check if the hardware was messed up. It turned out that it had already crashed a minute after the successful restore. So they replaced it. Went to pick it up today, brought it home, went to restore it from back up and all was good. iTunes then prompted me to update the iOS, so I did. It crashed and now I'm stuck in recovery mode. So basically back to zero. I'm really kind of depressed about this and I'm going to the store tommorrow, but I was wondering if anyone could possibly have some help to offer.
Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

TS1363 My Ipod touch 4th Generation, Is stuck in recovery mode.

I don't see any responses, if you don't mind me asking, what ever happened with your ipod? This is my son's and I don't have a store around the corner so I was curious before I make a trip?

My iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode with a broken 'lock' button.
My iPod touch 4th generation is stuck in recovery mode with a black screen and I can't get it out. It has a broken lock button and I have tried everything to get it out of recovery mode. Every time I plug it into iTunes, it recognises my iPod and says 'iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used in iTunes, so I have restored it several times and every time, it says there is an unknown error. Please Help!! (my iPod is IOS 6.0.1)
What is the complete wording of the error message that says unknown error? Usually more information like a error number is also given.

My daughters iPod touch 4th gen is STUCK. Somehow it was disabled because of too many password attempts (my younger daughter was pushing numbers). I connected it to iTunes, did the press and hold power button + home button, then let go of sleep button. iTunes recognized it, gave me the option to restore it and did its thing. Here's the problem, now it won't GET OUT of that mode. After the first attempt, it wouldn't power on after I disconnected it from the computer. So I hooked it up again, and it says its detected an iPod in recovery mode and offers me the same "update & restore" option it did originally. Now what??? Please help. My daughter just got this two weeks ago for her birthday.

or
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

My ipod touch second gen is stuck in recovery mode.... :(
i jail broke my ipod touch so i could use the av wire in it and i noticed that it made my ipod slower. so i went to take it off and while it was restoring it stopped when i was almost done and said"itunes could not restore" so now everytime i try and restore i wont do it and my ipod is stuck in recovery mode telling me to plug it in to itunes
Ok, now I don't know what 'jail breaking to use the av wire in it' is at all but a few days after my iTouch 4 obtained 2 diagonal cracks in the glass after dropping it on my bathrooms marble floor. I can only guess it hit right on the corner. Now before I had a chance to get it fixed something happened while playing a game and screen blanked out. To make an already too long a story a bit shorter ... It ended up having to restore it. While restoring mine too is stuck in Restore mode, never quite making it all the way to the end before whiting Out screen then once again being told to connect to iTunes. Help anyone???

HT201263 iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode and won't restore with iTunes. Please Help!
I had jailbroken my ipod touch then decided it didnt do much of anything, so I decided to restore my ipod. But itunes didnt finish the restore and left me in recovery mode. Now it says iTunes has detected an ipod in recovery mod, but when I try to restore it, it says something like could not connect to apple restore firm and I'm back to square one.
Any Help is appreciated!Jailbreaking
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.

Try DFU mode and then restore

Like, every time I hit recover, it tries to contact the server or whatever and then it can't find it. The screen is stuck with the iTunes and the USB cable thing on it. Somebody please help me! Do you think if I take this to Radio Shack where my mom bought it for me my warrenty would help either get a new iPod or they could fix this for me? If anybody knows how to fix it, pleaseeeeee, pleeeeease help me out.
Download RecBoot and see if that will kick it out of recovery mode.
Try doing a manual install following the instructions in the link below.

My Ipod is stuck at restore mode, when I downloaded fixrecovery and zlib1, they gave me a file which I can't open iBSS.n72ap. Fixrecovery wanted me to put it in DFU mode and I did but a window from my computer pops up telling me that it found new hardware and wants a CDrom to install. The ipod did not come with a CDrom software. It wont go back, and iTunes does not recongnize it. What should I do?

when i plug in my ipod into the right usb port it makes the connecting noise but nothing pops up and itunes does nothing. then when i look into the devices list it is under a category called unspecified and says that it needs troubleshooting. if i run the troubleshooting program it says it could not find a solution to the problem. i want to know how to fix this.
I was struggling with this since my latest Itunes update. Fiirst it would not recognize my IPad as a device, after correcting that, it would list the Ipad in my device but my Sync had no options (summry, info, etc). and it kept saying it was "Accessing Itunes store". reading your question I suddently tried deleting the itunes task (alt-ctrl, delete, processes) and delete Itunes. (By the way, I had rebooted my computer several times over the last few days). I opened up Itunes, and voila. Device is there. No "accessing windows" and my sync has the normal options.

My ipod touch 5th gen is stuck on activation error, how do i fix it?
My ipod touch 5th generation is stuck on activation error and I got this for Christmas so I don't know what the ipod developer program is! please help
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
hi my ipod 5th gen is stuck in recovery mode ive tried everything and nothing is working
Only developers have access to the iOS 7 beta and then also have access to the developer forum. Thus, if you are a developer go the the developer's forum.
Otherwise you have a bootleg coy of iOS 7 and are on your own.
