HT201263 the ipod touch is stuck on the connect to itunes screen....help!

Itunes will not recognize the ipod as being plugged in to the computer, and when you try to turn it on or hook it up it stays on the connect to itunes screen. i tried doing the trick where you hold in the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo comes up, but it just keeps going back to that screen. can anyone help me? thanks a ton!

- Have you tried another cable and USB port?
- See if placing the iPod in DFU mode will allow iTues to see the iPod

- Try here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
- Try on another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem

  • HT201263 the "connect to itunes" screen is displayed and will not change

    The "connect to itunes" screen is displayed and does not change after an update.

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 If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue.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

    Then try restoring on another computer.
    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My screen is frozen on the connect to iTunes screen. help!

    I bought my iphone 4 in Australia on contract and unocked it. then i came to Singapore and its been working fine for the past 10 months, but only recently i updated my phone for the first time and it would not recognise my sim card. so i connected my phone to my computer, and when itunes opened it told me that my sim card was not recognised on my phone. now i thought by updating my phone apple recognised that it was unlocked so they just locked it again. i didnt understand the difference between jailbreak and unlocking a phone. so during the state of the phone being my normal screen page with no sim shown, i tried jailbreaking the phone so it could work again with my sim card from singapore, but as it re booted, it froze on the emergency screen with the attached to itunes screen. now i dont know what to do? my phone is locked, i cant use it and its extremely frustrating as i need to use my computer asap. please help me asap!
    thank you!

    I posted a new question while ago almost like this, no jailbreaking, so I need help.
    I started restoring phone 10 hrs ago. iTunes still shows "restoring iPhone firmware" and phone stuck on the screen showing usb cable up to iTunes.
    ITunes is not locked up, but it's never taken this long to restore. I need phone asap because it's my daughters b-day today and  expecting calls...
    Fixing to manually shut windows down and attempt start over.

    If you are in recovery mode, you need to restore it through iTunes on your computer. There is no other way.

  • My iPod touch is disabled and has a passcode but it won't let me type in the passcode it's stuck on connect to iTunes screen help!!!!!

    My iPod touch 8th 3rd gen is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen and won't let me do anything and iTunes won't restore it or do anything because there is a password on it and I can't type it in on the touch since it's stuck on this screen help please I've tried doin the power and menu button to restart it and it goes right back to connect to iTunes someone please helpme

    Try again placing the iPod in recovery mode.  It can be tricky. The computer should say it discovered an iPod in recovery mode.  Recovery mode bypasses the passcode (and erases the iPod).  If not successful, try placing the iPod in DFU mode.

  • My ipod touch 3g is stuck on the connect to itunes screen.

    My Ipod though 3g is stuck on the connect to itunes screen. When I connect it it tells me that it's locked and that I need to enter my passcode, but it's stuck on that screen so I can't.
    I have tried restarting it AND resetting it multiple times and it is still stuck on that screen.
    I don't know what else I can do.

    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.

    After you place the iPod in recovery mode using

    You have to then connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes. Are you doing that?

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    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
