2nd gen ipod touch freezes at connect to itunes screen

I finished downloading my installation file for the OS4.1 update but when it came to the actual updating, itunes said that my ipod had an error and could not update successfully
after that my screen for the ipod just froze at the picture which shows the usb connection to itunes.even after restarting both my computer and my ipod the ipod was still stuck at the connect to itunes screen. Anyone experienced a similar thing and knows how to solve it?

Try placing the iPod in recovery mode

and restoring it via iTunes.

Try to set it up as new device without using the latest backup, explained here:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Has the device been jailbroken by the former owner? If yes, your problems could be a result of that:
Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

8Gb Touch 2nd gen problem. Only showing connect to iTunes screen and not letting me past that as I have a password - Already reset and it just loops back to the same screen with the same problem

I have an iPod Touch 8GB 2nd gen and it's only showing connect to iTunes screen and not letting me past that as I have a password - Already reset and it just loops back to the same screen with the same problem.
Any idea what I can do to fix this?

you can connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode:
Hold down the Home button and the Power button simutaneously, until the screen goes black and the device turns off.
Now let go of the Power button, but continue to hold the Home button. Your iPod Touch/iPhone should have turned off and the screen should not be on.
After around ~10-20 seconds, you will hear a noise (beep/ding) from your CPU as if it had just recognized a new hardware device
and restore it to default settings, in order to remove your password (or just remove your password directly from the iPod touch, in order to sync with iTunes)

2nd generation ipod touch won't connect with iTunes store through macbook

Hello all,
So I decided I wanted to use my 2nd generation iPod touch for the first time in a long while so I tried to use it and it was just a slug. I figured I didn't care about any of the data on it so I went to settings and pushed "erase all data and settings." It did its thing then rebooted to tell me to connect to iTunes. I did, and iTunes just says "iTunes could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection was lost." I'm 99% certain this is not an issue with my firewall as I can connect to the store myself and my firewall allows iTunes through. iTunes just does nothing with the iPod. It sees that it is there and will let me eject it and that's it. Is Apple just done supporting the earlier iPods? Any solutions are greatly appreciated!!

Yeah this doesn't help. I resolved the keychain issue, didn't help. I know those ports aren't blocked, and the device can't be troubleshot because the only thing it will do is tell me to plug it into itunes.

IPod Touch frozen on Connect to iTunes Screen and cannot be restarted

My iPod Touch is frozen on the connecting to iTunes screen (The one with a usb plug pointing to iTunes logo) even when I plug it into my computer. Windows do give sound when I plugin, but it was not the successful connected sound but repeating the first note for three times =_=" iPod then appears the connect to iTunes logo, but it just stuck there. I hold the sleep/wake button for 5 seconds, it goes black directly, and windows would give unplug sound alert. But the iPod actually gives the white apple logo immediately without me pressing any button and goes back to the connect to iTunes logo. AGAIN. And computer gives ridiculous plugin alert then everything just go round and round and round.
Now iTunes won't detect it, therefore no restoration; Restart won't work either. If I press the sleep/wake button for 2 seconds without connecting it to the computer, it appears the apple logo, then go back to the connecting to iTunes screen immediately, and goes dark in 30 seconds.
Everything started after I updated new iOS for iPod touch, and I dunno how long would it take to run out the battery under this condition -_- I have updated to the newest iTunes version too.
Needs help urgently and thanks a lot!!

Sorry to hear that you're still having a problem. The only other help I could find is at http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/consumerelectronics/ipodfaq/ipod-how-to-restart-frozen-begin-troubleshooting.html
Hope that helps.

IPod Touch stuck on "Connect to iTunes" screen after attempting to install iOS6

Like the title says, I attempted to update my iOS on my 4th generation ipod touch. Not only did the update not install due to some unknown error, my ipod has been stuck at the dreaded "Connect to iTunes" screen. It isn't being recognized by Windows 7 when I plug it in, either. I've gone through the apple pages and followed their trouble shooting guide, and still nada. I've reinstalled iTunes, restarted my computer, done the sleep/wake and home button tricks, updated the drivers, uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers, used 3 different cords to connect my ipod to my PC, let it die then try to connect it; you name it. Does anyone else have advice on how to fix this? It's only a month old, and this is really frustrating.

To try recovery mode try using this program instead of the buttons.

IPod touch stuck on connect to iTunes screen, no way to enter passcode

My son's 64 iPod Touch is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen. We plugged it into the computer and followed the steps with the Home button explained in previous threads, but we can't even get into iTunes to launch recovery and restore. It keeps saying the iPod is locked and that a passcode is required. We know the passcode, but there is no place we can see where to enter it. The computer should recognize the device too, since it's the same computer the iPod was synced to before, but it is still asking for a passcode. The iPod is only 18 months old and has never been tampered with, all by the book. So how do we get past this problem and into recovery and restore? Apple website says they want $219 just to look at a device! I already spent $500 to buy it, so hundreds more to make it work properly is not an option. Help!

That's just it. I think its already in recovery mode. But when I try to connect to iTunes to get to restore, I don't get the message I'm supposed to get saying it recognizes a device in recovery mode. All it says is that it knows the name of the iPod but can't connect it to iTunes because the iPod is locked. It says I have to enter a passcode to unlock the iPod first. But there's no way to enter the passcode, neither on the iPod or the computer. How do I get out of this loop? Tried to put it into DFU, but it asks for a passcode too.

2nd Generation iPod Touch stuck in "Connect to iTunes" mode

I was using a 2010 ipod Touch today and when I later turned it on I get the iTunes must connect display.
I don't have a backup. If I restore and update, will I lose all the photos?
Is there any way to recover this data if so?
My niece will be heartbroken if the all her photos are lost.....

Now that's a heck of a glitch. She's been using it for three years.
The battery was fully charged and after taking several pictures, that's what came up.
Not sure how many pics are still in iCloud.
I saw a few 3rd party apps that claim to recover, wonder if these are a waste of time.

My 2nd gen iPod Touch won't sync with itunes

windows recognizes it- but itunes says "unknown error (0xE8000065)" everytime it's plugged into the USB. I seriously can't figure this one out.
Thank you a ton in advance for any help!

Try the suggestions mentioned here: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting

2nd Gen iPod Touch intermittent shut off and/or screen shots, blinking +

Hi - concerned, not very technical mom here, trying to help out my son. His iPod touch shuts off, goes to the front screen, takes screen shots, sometimes the touch works and sometimes it doesn't, it blinks, I am not sure what to do. Any and all very specific (remember not real techy mom here) suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.

I've had this same problem. It ended up being a problem in the hardware. Your going to need to take it to a Apple Genius Bar. They will help you understand the problem better.

IPod touch stuck on connect to iTunes screen

I was away from my computer, but I assume something happened during an update that started before I left it. My iTunes stopped functioning and wouldn't even reopen after I closed it. I reinstalled all Apple products on my computer, and iTunes is now working fine. My iPod is still stuck on the screen though. A person could normally just restore their iPod, but my iPod is no longer being recognized by iTunes (or Windows for that matter) since the update went bad. I've tried two different cables and holding the power and home buttons. Apple Mobile Device is installed, and I tried restarting it using the directions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Please help. I use my iPod for exercising and the long drive to and from school.

Try DFU mode and then restore

Other users have posted the same issue. I have not yet seen a solution.

2nd Gen iPod Touch connect to new Accessories

How can I connect my 2nd Gen iPod Touch to a NEW iHome Player which only has a lightning (male) plug? Apple's $30 adapter is backwards. This implies NO old gen iPods will work with NEW accessories. Is this correct?

The iPhone comes with a one-year warranty at no cost. Anythime before that warranty is expired you can purchace an additional one year of coverage.

2nd Gen iPod Touch Doesn't Charge at all

2nd Gen iPod Touch Doesn't Charge at all, not on pc or mac or wall or anywhere. I need the information on it, last time it was backed up was 2 years ago,cracked glass and bad headphone jack. can Apple help me get my info out of it? it is out of warranty, can i pay to have it fully recovered as if it never died?

Try connecting it for a charging source for 24 hours.
Then try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then see if iTunes can see the iPod so you can get info from it
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store. They may or may not be able to get info from the iPod. It depends upon what is wrong
