Ipod touch stuck in recovery mode after update

Help! Ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode after an update. I don't want to restore and lose all pictures.

You have no other choice but to restore. You can restore from backup and get the iPod back to where it was when the backup was made.

I have an 1st Generation Ipod Touch stuck in recovery mode.

Ipod touch stuck in recovery mode and will not restore. error code 3194

ipod touch stuck in recovery mode, will not restore and comes up with error code 3194, itunes is up to date, please help

Hi @rchangel - Thanks for the ideas...
Yes - it won't let you install the 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine.
I've had a cursory look at the SP1 release notes, and couldn't spot anything vital - what critical stuff do you know of in SP1?
I don't want to have to go through all the pain of setting up VM's, reinstalling iTunes, getting all my album art back in etc. (though I could, as I do have Win7 pro). I've also heard that running iTunes in Windows 7 compatibility mode might help. Can anyone confirm whether that actually works?
I think it's in Apple's gift to fix this issue, given that they say that they support Windows 7. So far I've had no feedback from a mail I sent to Apple, and the number of users reporting this problem keeps going up and up.
I want Apple to recognise that there is a problem, and then I want them to fix it.

I 'think' my Ipod Touch is in recovery mode and people say to hold the power and home button for 10 sec and i did, but its still not turning back on. Plus its dead and wont charge

- If in recovery mode the screen will have an iTunes logo with an USB plug.
- Have you tried connecting it to your computer for a n hw and then see if it appears in iTunes. If it does restore the iPod.
- If screen is blank, try placing he iPod in recovery mode and then restoring. For recovery mode:

IPod Touch stuck in recovery mode and not detected in iTunes

I was trying to update my iPod Touch (currently 3.1.3), so I downloaded the 4.3.3 firmware (I didn't want to download the 4.3.5) and connected my iPod to my computer, opened iTunes and hit Shift+Restore. Then, I chose the 4.3.3 firmware and proceeded with the restore.
However, the following appears:
Error 1602
I pressed OK and the restore process stopped. But, my iPod is stuck in recovery mode. Every time I reboot it, the recovery mode shows up. It's also not detected in iTunes although my computer recognize it as iPod Touch Recovery Mode.
Please help me solve this. I can't use my iPod.

Error 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

TS1441 ipod touch stuck in recovery mode

attempted to upgrade to OS8 and my ipod touch is stuck in recovery mode

The best way to get out of this situation is to use a well-known tool called TinyUmbrella.
First of all download TinyUmbrella http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.in/
Now, making sure your device is connected to your computer, launch TinyUmbrella
It will automatically detect that your iPod is stuck in recovery mode
Select the Exit Recovery button and it should throw your iPod touch out of recovery.
Alternatively, you can right-click on your iPod name from a list at the side
of TinyUmbrella and select Kick out of recovery.

HT201263 Please help, I'm extremely frustrated. Have 4th G ipod touch stuck in recovery mode. Tried connecting to another computer to restore. Goes through 75 minutes of ipod software update then get a Problem downloading. Network connection timed out

Please help, I'm extremely frustrated. ipod is stuck in recovery mode. Connected to different computer to restore and after 75 minutes of downloading get a message that there was a Problem downloading, network connection timed out. Cannot get past "connect to itunes" on ipod.

Disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall during the download and update usually resolves that error.

IPod Touch stuck in recovery mode, error message 1611 when trying to restore.

I bought a 2nd generation ipod touch from someone on CL and it appeared to me that it just needed to be plugged into the computer and be synced with itunes. But its stuck in recovery mode. When I plug it into my computer, itunes says it sees the ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. Sout t I click on restore and it tries to restore it, but then it stops in the process and gives me error message 1611. I looked up this error message and it has to do with system security. I messed with my security settings and I still get this message. I tried using my home computer instead of my laptop and it still gave me the same message. Ive also tried holding down the power and home button for several seconds and it still goes back to recovery and gives me the same error message when I try to restore it. Also, itunes recognizes my ipod, but my computer does not.. Can anyone help me? Do I just have to bring the ipod into an apple store and have them figure it out? Thanks in advance!

Error 1611
This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

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.

IPod touch stuck in recovery mode after iOS 6 update error 6

I wanted to sync my iPod touch with my Mac last night, when iTunes tried to sell me on the iOS 6 update. I told it to go ahead with the update, and left it alone to do its thing. When I checked again, it told me the update had failed with error 6, and that I might need to restore my iPod. The only info I've found about error 6 pertains to Windows security software, and that clearly does not apply to my case.
The iPod is now stuck in recovery mode, and none of the my googling has changed that. I have tried the various patterns of power and home keys, and have also tried downloads that were supposed to force the iPod out of recovery mode. How exactly does an update brick a device? Now I don't mind restoring the iPod, but I need to get my data back. Loosing the data is not acceptable. This is not a jailbreak attempt. I just want my data back, and I don't mind going low-level to get it (i.e. terminal, dd, scripts, ...). Pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I was able to extract my data and copy it to a disk image with the help of http://code.google.com/p/iphone-dataprotection/wiki/README. This process is really only appropriate for developers, I regret to say, but for developers the process is reasonably robust. I still had to read between the lines in one or two places, and make good use of the shell, but I am delighted to have retrieved my data from my iPod.
A lower priority question for me is whether to try to collect my notes and contacts from the assorted .sqlitedb files. It looks like iFunBox may come in handy if I try to push things back onto the iPod once I restore it.
For anyone who cares to know, my iPod Touch decided to listen on port 2000 instead of port 2222, my /dev/rdisk0sXsY devices had different numbers than expected by dump_data_partition.sh, and I had to find my keychain-2.db file in /mnt2/Keychains on the data filesystem. But it worked, and that's awesome.

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.
