How do i get my ipod touch out of the 'recovery loop'?

Ipod touch is in recovery mode. When plugged into PC it has the display indicating that it needs to be connected to iTunes. When it gets connected to iTunes it does appear as a device there. ITunes requires the iPod to be restored, and in the restore process it get error message 1604. When I go through the steps for 1604 I get the same result over and over again. What do I need to do to break this loop and restore my iPod?

Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.

Been trying all night to sort out but just going around in circles

I have not seen a solution for that error but try:
- Place the iPod in DFU mode and then restore

- 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.

How can I get my iPod Touch out of Recovery?

I've had my iPod Touch 4G for almost five months now. Since my laptop is very slow, I just buy all of my music and apps on my iPod. I actually take the time to transfer everything about once a month. Yesterday I was going to transfer my purchased items from iPod to computer, since I skipped transferring for two months. While I let my computer start up, I checked Facebook on my iPod. Since I had just changed my password Facebook said it was logging me out, but it was taking a bit longer than usual. I decided just to delete and re-download the app. While it was re-downloading, I checked the weather and my whole iPod froze. I clicked the home button multiple times, with no success, so I held the sleep/wake button and home button until the Apple icon showed (that's what I normally do when it freezes). However, the icon stayed on for five minutes. The screen then flashed white, black, and the Apple icon came back on. About a minute later, the screen showed "Connect to iTunes". I connected it, and iTunes said it was in recovery mode and I would have to restore it. It makes me sick to know that I was just about to transfer all of my purchases/photos to my computer, but now everything is gone. Is there any way I can get out of recovery and save everything? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but no.
Most important word in computing. "Backup"...
Check iTunes / Preferences - Devices. If you have a backup stored there, you may be in luck.
Otherwise, it's a restore.

How do i get my ipod touch out of recovery mode

i originally had all of my music & apps on itunes on our computer, but our computer broke. so i connected my ipod touch to our macbook and updated to the new itunes, then backed up my ipod onto the mac. after that, i synced my apps onto the mac but i don't think i synced any of my songs (unless it automatically already did that when i backed it up?) i couldn't find my songs anyway since i don't really know how to use the new itunes ... then i tried updating to iOS 6 but it had some error and said it was error 6. on my ipod, i can't do anything because it tells me to connect to itunes. but when i connect my ipod to itunes, it says my ipod's in recovery mode and i need to restore it. i don't want to restore it and lose all of my apps, photos and songs. how do i get out of recovery mode?

How to get an ipod touch out of recovery mode.

I want to get my iPod Touch out of recover mode and i don't know how I got into it.
All that happened was that my iPod Touch ran out of battery, so I plugged it into my MacBook and when it turned on I just got the Connect to iTunes screen.
I tried turning it off and then on again but to no effect.
I also tried holding down the Home and Power button until the apple logo shows up then release but that still did not work.
What should I do to get it out of recovery mode without restoring??

If re-starting the AMDS driver doesn't work, you can try removing iTunes and AMDS, then re-installing iTunes (which will re-install AMDS).
If that doesn't work, try putting the Touch into DFU mode. You kind of mentioned it above where you held the buttons down while connected to iTunes, but it didn't sound exactly correct and it can be a little tricky to get the timing down.
While having the Touch connected to the computer (and iTunes running) hold the Sleep and Home buttons until the Touch screen goes black (about 10 seconds). When that happens release only the Sleep button -- keep holding the Home button until iTunes says it found a device in recovery mode. At that point you release the Home button and will have to Restore the device, and you can try re-loading your last backup after the Restore process completes.

When I try to download anything from iTunes or the App Store on my iPod Touch, my sister's Apple ID pops up instead of mine. How can I get my iPod Touch to display my Apple ID and ask for my password rather than display my sister's Apple ID?

You can try to tell the iPod to use yours:
1. Tap Settings
2. Navigate to "iTunes & App Store"
3. Tap Apple ID:
4. Tap "Sign Out"
5. Sign in to your account.

How can I get my ipod touch to turn on or to charge?

How can I get my ipod touch to turn on or charge?

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."
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.

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.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
