How to fix ipod touch?

I have a 4th generation ipod touch which was jailbroken and was running on the 4.3.3 update. I went to try and restore and update it to the newest update out and it stuck me in recovery mode and I can't get out of it. I have already looked up different ways and none of them worked. the only screen I can see is the usb cord with an arrow pointing toward the itunes symbol. I have tried to put it in DFU mode and that doesn't work. when I plug it into the computer, It only gives me the option to restore and update it. When I click on that it says its restoring it for about half an hour then it pops up with an error and says it can't restore it. Any ideas how to fix this so I can use it again?

Do you get an error number?
We can't really provide you help here as you voided your warranty when you did the jailbreak. Google the error number you are getting or use one of the forums for whichever jailbreak you used.

    How to fix ipod touch 4g home button(jammed)?

    Hey! So I found out this free way to be able to use the home button with no cost! It won't unjam it, but using this method you will have a touchscreen homebutton.
    Directions:
    1. Go to Settings
    2. Go to General
    3. Scroll down and go to Accessibility
    4. Scroll down and go to Assistive Touch
    5. Then turn assistive touch on.
    What you will see is a little white circle on the screen. When you tap this circle you have the Home button option(which functions all the ways of your jammed home button). As well as a few other options; Device, Favorites and Gestures. You can move that circle about the screen for your convenience. This is just a way to have a home button without paying to restore.

  • How to fix iPod Touch 4G iOS 6.1.6 lagging issues?

    My iPod touch 4g running ios 6.1.6 has been lagging for a while and now I just can't stand it anymore. When I type, the keyboard often takes a long time to update to my taps. All of my games, especially Pixel Gun 3D tend to lag horribly and eventually crash when I tap a button while something currently is frozen end less loading. Even Flappy Bird lags and it makes it even more frustrating to play! Rebooting the device / restoring doesnt help at all. Pls someone help!

    I have the same problem :/ its probaly because i might have 8 gb and its not even 8gb!! its 5gb.

  • HOW TO FIX IPOD TOUCH IF YOU HAVE A PERMENT WHITE SCREEN!!!!

    hold the power bottom and the home bottom then it will shut off after that just turn it back on ,then it should work it took me ages to find this out, it may take a minute or two to restart but you do not lose anything and all is good!

    yes, that was a useless post, i have owned my touch now for 2 months and already have a white screen that will not go away. i have reset, restarted and restored and still the same thing. dock still plays music from it but it is nothing more than an oversized shuffle at this point. after talking to apple, the only current solution is to send it in to them or take it to an authorized dealer. not an option for me at this point in time though. Hats off to apple though, as i am a soldier currently deployed, they have agreed to send me a new touch in exchange for my currently dead new one. THANKS APPLE!!!!!!

  • How do fix ipod 4gen that wolt turn on?

    I have a ipod that just wolt connect to iTunes or turn on how do I fix this?

    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.

    WHen I first installed iOS 6 the App Store crashes...and now having iOS 6 for 2 weeks now, all my apps are buggy and now are crashing! Safari and built in apps are becoming slow and crash. I hate how apple leaves iPod touch 4g and iPhone 4 in the dark and basically force us to upgrade to newer devices. Apple could of done better with the update and needs to resolve these issues.

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • HT201210 how come my ipod touch doesnt have auto update?

    how come my ipod touch doesnt give mr auto updates for the ios?

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.
