Does the iPod Touch have to remain in recovery mode throughout the entire restoration process?

My iPod Touch left recovery mode while i was restoring it, does this mean that i have to start the whole restoration process over again? If so, then I just wasted hours trying to restore my disabled iPod Touch.

Try DFU mode and then restore

Next try on another computer.
Problems like yours happens since downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

    Why does my iPod Touch have a white screen and how do I get rid of it?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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.

  • Does an IPod touch have gps for a biking app

    Does an IPod touch support an app that uses gps for distance and time?

    No. It uses the location of nearby wifi routers to detrmine its approximate position.  You can purchase GPS accessories for the iPod.  Google for: GPS for ipod touch.

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen stuck in recovery mode, no error message!

    I have an iPod Touch stuck in recovery mode. It has a picture of a usb cord pointing to the iTunes symbol. When I plug it into a computer it says "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." So i did. After it had finished it came up with that message again! Also I've tried using DFU mode and it didn't work. Suggestions?

    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 If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue.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.

  • Why does my ipod touch have 0 bytes

    I have deleted pictures, apps etc. and I still have 0 bytes.  How can I fix this?  It is an Ipod Touch 4th generation ios 4.3.5

    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 the screen blacks out or 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.  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."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • My ipod touch 4g is stuck in recovery mode after attempting to update to iOS 5. My computer is registering the ipod however itunes is not. Nothing ive tried has made it come up in itunes to let me restore. I've done the basics. Please help

    My computer is registering the ipod however itunes is not. Nothing ive tried has made it come up in itunes to let me restore. I've done the basics (i.e multiple computer restarts, switching USB ports, fresh install of itunes. I've checked the forums and everything I've found has involved things that I have been unable to do involving the itunes restore. Please save my ipod from a hammer.

    You can try 2 things:
    Restart your iPod by - Holding the Power and Home buttons until you see the Apple logo.
    Put your iPod in DFU and restore - Hold the Power and Home until the screen goes black, wait about 2 seconds, release the power button but keep holding the home for 15 seconds, then on iTunes, Restore and Update.

  • Why does my iPod touch automatically go out of DFU mode, and not stay in it until I turn it on?

    I put my iPod touch 4g intoDFU mode, then after 10 minutes or so, it turns on with iBoot. I know that DFU mode bypasses iBoot. It automatically boots out from DFU mode. Please help me, because I want to restore it.

    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.
