Gen. 2 iPod Touch is stuck on Apple Boot Logo after Resetting Data/Settings

My iPod Touch hadn't been getting recognized by iTunes and my music wouldn't sync onto it so I went into the Settings app and clicked Reset Data & Settings (the 4 hour long reset) and waited while the bar slowly moved until it finally restarted and showed the Apple Boot Logo. I then waited for about 20-30 minutes for my iPod to turn on and it never did, so I reset it by holding the Power+Home button and that didn't do anything as it was still stuck on the Apple Boot Logo. Then I remembered I could have just put my iPod into DFU or Recovery mode to get iTunes to recognize it to reset it, so i tried to put my iPod into both modes and it wouldn't go into them. So I went to bed and just woke up and it's still stuck. I'm afraid I might have bricked my iPod, and I'm out of my warranty I believe. Does anyone know ANYTHING I could try? I don't care about data loss seeing as I already tried resetting the whole thing.

If it is still doing it after a restore, you most likely have a hardware issue.

Ipod nano 4g stuck at apple boot logo

(copy paste from my apple stack exchange post, but I gotten no responses except a edit which removed "please help" from my post)
i have a iPod Nano 4th Generation (A1285) that I got used. When I first got it, it had low power, and it took a while to turn on, my iPod charger was broken at the time, so I couldn't charge it. Now, I'm trying to restore it for music and movies, etc. It turned on once yesterday when I tried fixing it, it was on briefly before I restored it. It took a while to turn on, I have no idea how I did it. Right now iTunes is going on and off, we've tried Disk mode, recovery mode and diagnostic mode. I've restored it around 7 times in Disk and recovery mode. Currently, I think it's dead. iTunes shows a 2005 error, ipod cannot be identified. Now, I just put it in recovery mode and restored it, again. Stuck at apple logo. Now it's still at the apple logo. just, waiting.... Alright, we put it in DISK MODE and restored it. restore took longer than usual. still apple logo. More info: When i got it used, and it was in itunes before i restored it for the first time, it said format macintosh, and i'm on windows 8 so I restored it .

I suspect you have the original, 1G iPod touch. Those can only go as high as iOS 3.1.3,
If y ohave a 2G those can go as high as 4.2.1
Identifying iPod models
To update
The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

My iPod touch is stuck on apple logo and isn't recognized by iTunes

My iPod touch gets stuck on the apple logo and won't let me get to the home screen. I tried plugging it into iTunes but It was not recognized. When I hold the power button down it tells me to charge it. When I do it gets stuck on the apple logo again. 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.

Make sure you are holding power/home button for at least 15-sec. If that does not work, let the unit go dead. Then recharge it and retroubleshoot it.

FYI Ipod Touch and Stuck on Apple Logo

I have found an issue where removing an application from the Ipod Touch which uses the Apple Ipod Settings GUI (The Icon with the picture of the gears) could cause your ipod to stick at the Apple Logo and force you to do a restore.
I had an application which I removed and noticed that I could no longer get fully into the Apple Settings GUI. It would freeze (it would never completely draw all the entries for the settings interface) for about 30 seconds and then take me back to the main interface. I thought I should restart the Ipod Touch and maybe that would clear up the issue. WRONG! I had to do a full restore in order to get back where I was. That took 6 hours.
Once I was back this time I tried to remove that application again and noticed the same issue. I opened the App Store on the Ipod Touch and searched for the application. I re-downloaded it and it installed. I was able to get back into settings and also restart with no issues.
In short, if you remove an application that has hooks into the Apple Settings interface. Always go into the settings after to verify you can still access it. If not reinstall the application and verify it works. Then report it to the developer.
I did contact the developer of the software and he said he would submit a bug report to Apple on this. I do not need to specify the dev at this time. I will just say be careful before you restart.

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

How to make an ipod classic get off the apple boot logo when the menu an center button still don't work

i tryed to connect my ipod classic to my computer an every time i do it will start flikering an when i conected it to a wall plug it just get stuck on the boot logo it had the the red x but i fix that but now its just stuck on the boot logo i need my ipod please tell me what i need to do pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeee

The big Red X is a sign of iPod undertaker coming, so you only have temporary extension and put it in Comatose state.
Some laptops have only one high power USB 2.0 port, so if it flickers, try the others on your laptop.
However try the following, (bear with me if you have done all these.)
Toggle the hold switch, make sure you don't see the red marking.
Press Menu and Center butoons for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON, then release the buttons.
If the above solve the frozen Apple Logo, then do a Disk Diagnostics, read this earlier post from tt2.

Don't worry if yours is Windows, the process apply to the iPod and not the PC.
Good Luck

Please Help stuck on apple boot logo

I am stucked at the apple boot logo and i can't disable filevalut to go in safe mode. When i've pressed cmd p r and went in utility disk it seems that i have free on the macintosh hd only 16.3 MB so i have to go in safe mode to delete some files and reboot the system. Anyone can help me?

I can't help, I'm afraid. My suggestion is that you re-post your message with a different title, including that you cannot get into Safe Mode. It would also be good to include the year and model (e.g., Mid-2010 MacBook Pro) so folks know more about what you are dealing with.
One thought I have is to replace your hard drive with a larger one, install your original OS X on that new HDD and arrange to access your current drive via USB so you can get the files off of it. But there may be another way -- though you clearly need a larger hard drive in your computer.

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.

Ipod touch 5thgen stuck on Apple logo after updating to IOS 6.1

I updated my ipod touch to the latest version 6.1 and after updating it restarted and was frozen at the apple logo screen since Monday. I tried calling Apple Support and they went through the steps of getting into recovery mode as well as trying to reboot my ipod touch but I first had to update & restore first through iTunes. I wasn't able to update because my connection kept timing out so I decided to download the ipsw file from this website: http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
After waiting a whole day for the download(because my internet connection is really slow), iTunes said that the ipod could not be restored because firmware was not compatible. I tried both version 6.0.0 and 6.0.1 and both came with that error notice. I don't know what to do now and I really need some help! I've tried holding the home+lock key many times and went through the whole procedure but nothign seems to work. It already says that my ipod updated to 6.1 but its just stuck at the apple logo. Help me Please!!!

If not successful try the remaining steps of the following:
