2nd Gen iPod Touch stuck in restore mode

My Friend recently gave me his 2nd gen ipod touch that he no longer uses as a gift, i decided to restore it so i could put my music on it and remove all the apps that were on there because i wanted more space for music, while restoring i came across a problem, an error message popped up and said, "The iPod "iPod" cannot be restored, an unknown error occured (2003)." i have the latest version of itunes installed and ive tried everything mentioned in the following article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307219, this ipod was fully functiong before i attempted to restore it and now its stuck in restore mode and will not work at all, i do not feel like paying to talk to an apple representitive to help me with a problem that shouldn't be happening in the first place so if someone could help me here that would be greatly appreciated.

Well i had kinda the same problem. I pressed the wake/sleep button and the home button for 10 seconds. Then it shuts down. You connect it to iTunes and says this iPod was in restore mode, and continues or starts again. Hope can help!

TS1538 Ipod Touch stuck in DFU mode, not recognized in itunes after 1602 error restoring.

I've tried all of the: Hold Power button and Home items. It's plugged into the computer, screen is black. Windows sees the apple mobile device driver under devices and hardware. The driver's properties says it's in DFU mode. It was constatnly stuck in Recovery mode showing the CD+music note icon and the 30-pin connector image. Connecting the ipod to the computer, windows makes the connection sound but itunes does not open. Opening itunes, ipod is not recognized.
It's a gen 1 touch, version 2.? firmware, I think.

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 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.

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.

3rd Gen Ipod touch stuck in recovery mode....please help!

I just wanted to add some music for a birthday party and this has become a total failure. worked fine yesterday...so i plud it into my laptop and it asks to update itunes, for the sake of being in a hurry i skipped that, and came back and all of a sudden the wierd recovery mode picture was up and the "needs to be restored" message came up. Well, that *****, so im thinking ok...restore it and just start over....no dice. Tried several times at home to restore, and everytime it failed to restore. Updated iTunes, etc....still nothing. Now im at work and i downloaded a fresh new copy of itunes and dont even have an option to restore it. Says i have no network connectivity, so i have 0 options to touch the ipod settings.
I've tried holding the buttons down until the Apple icon comes back up and it just cycles right back into recovery mode.

I was looking for a way to get around that, as it sounds plausible. But i have had iTunes on a previous machine here at the office and it worked fine. Right now, the only option i have in iTunes with it connected is to "eject" the ipod. Not neccesarrily an error # message, but one does come up that says "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your network connection is active and try again"
as for restoring at home, it just goes through the motion on the progress bar, but when it reaches around 100% it says "failed to restore. ___" i cant remember the rest as i was up til 2am, and back awake at 6am trying to figure this out...
Last night, there was no battery icon, and the screen stayed illuminated in recovery mode...i updated iTunes, and restarted my laptop at home, and now this morning the screen times out and dims, and there is all of a sudden a battery charging icon in the upper right corner. It would not "power down" at all last night...there was no "power off" slide option after holding the button(s)....this morning it will power off.
It also wouldnt connect to my car radio this morning like it would last night when i came home. The radio doesnt even recognize it anymore.
here is a quick screenshot of what i see...nothing...with it plugged up...

IPod Touch stuck in DFU mode

I used Grayd00r on my iPod Touch 3G and now it's stuck in a loop where the apple logo comes on & then a spinning wheel. The computer recognizes the iPod but I can't restore it or reset it. Is the iPod Touch completely bricked?

IPod Touch stuck in DFU mode, broken lock button, will not connect to computer.

I have an iPod 4g running on iOS 6.1.6. The lock button has been broken for little over a year now. But yesterday, my iPod went into DFU mode and will not connect to my computer whatsoever. I have tried everything that Apple tells you to do to try and fix this issue like restarting AMDS, reinstalling iTunes, and even the USB Driver. Nothing has worked, and I would really like some help with this. Thank you very much!

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

Save pictures from 5th Gen iPod Touch stuck in Recovery Mode

My iPod Touch has never had any issues until the other day when the battery died and when I recharged it, the screen shows the connect to itunes graphic. If I connect it to my MBP, I get the message "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes".
I have several hundred pictures on here that were never backed up to my MBP or iCloud, so I'll lose all of them if I restore. I tried to force it out of recovery mode with various patterns of holding down the power and home button without any luck. I've also downloaded RecBoot and using that to force it out of recovery mode doesn't work either.
Are there any ways to either 1) get it out of recovery mode and working like normal without doing a hard restore or 2) rip all my unsaved pictures off it and then do a hard restore?
Thanks!

1) No
2) No
They are gone. You should be importing them to your computer regularly as you would wiht any digital camera

2nd Gen. iPod touch in recovery mode

My fairly new 2nd Generation iPod touch goes into recovery mode almost every week. I'm started to get anoid because if I go on a trip without a computer, and it requires a restore, it's useless.

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

IPOD TOUCH STUCK IN RECOVERY MODE GRRR:(

Hey guys, so i ordered a second hand Ipod touch (2nd gen) from Ebay and it seems to be stuck in recovery mode. I tried doing the whole press the two buttons at the same time to get out of that mode but it just goes back to the same image! I need to get it connected to itunes asap but when i do, itunes doesnt recognise it! The seller provided me with a USB as i only have an iphone 5 and my laptop AND my computer does not seem to recognise it. Do u think i just need a new USB?????? Everything is up to date such as Itunes. I need to get this fixed asap as im going on holiday soon and i need all my music! Someone help!!:(

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

New iPod Touch stuck in recovery mode during initial setup

I am trying to set-up my daughter's new iPod touch 5th Gen. When you try to connect to iTunes message says "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes". Even when you disconnect from computer it is stuck on screen telling you to connect USB to computer. Two of her friends also got this iPod for Christmas and are having the same problem...during initial set-up. I've tried the system updates 3 times. iTunes recognizes the device, but the computer is not recognizing it as a drive. I've tried both my Mac and my Windows PC. I've tried hard resets. You can't remap the drive because the device doesn't show up. Most of the apple support topics address if iTunes doesn't recognize the device in conjunction with it not being recognized by the drive. Obviously a problem with the new update because several brand new iPod touches wouldn't be having the same problem. Please help if you've found a solution. Happy New Years!

See if placing the iPod in DFU mode will allow a restore.

Does the iPod charge when connected?
Have you tried another computer?
Have you tried another cable?
Some users have reported defective Lightning cables came with their 5G iPod. Some did not word from the beginning and for some the cables failed after a very short time.

Trying to update iPod touch - stuck in backup mode

I have a 2nd gen iPod touch and am trying to update the software, which iTunes is kind enough to remind me to do everytime I connect the iPod to my computer. I have synched and backed up recently, or so I thought, before being able to download and install the update. Now when I am trying to do the update it has synched again, but is stuck in backup mode without any signs of progress for the past hour. It said it would take an hour or more to complete the update, but maybe they should reword it to say it'll take a day or more.
The last time I tried to do the update and couldn't I finally downloaded an update to iTunes, hoping that would help but no such luck. What am I doing wrong?
