  • IPod touch 1st gen goes into recovery mode after shut down or lock

    Alright, so I bought a used iPod touch 1st gen from a friend. It was working fine for a few weeks until it started shutting off and going into recovery mode when I locked or turned it off. When off, half of the times I can do a hard reatart and hold the home and hold buttonsand it will turn on. The other times it will just come up with a white screen. When I plug it into my computer, it says it has to be restored. And this is an ongoing loop that I cannot seem to fix. I looked up my serial number and it says it's out of warranty.
    So my first question is, is there anyway I personally can fix this problem, or do I have to take it to Apple? My second question is, what are their policies on iPods that were bought used from someone else? And is there a way for me to get a warranty on it to get it repaired if I can't fix it myself or do I have to pay full price on replacement or repairs?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Did you let iTunes restore it? Has the problem continued? The article below discusses how to put your iPod into a recovery mode so you can fix it.

    As to your warranty, you no longer have one. Apple will, for a fee, repair your iPod if it needs repairing. There are independent shops who can do it as well - just Google them.

  • My iPod touch won't go into recovery mode

    I have a first generation iPod touch, with a slightly broken home button (I have to press it really hard to work).I had just erased the memory off of it, and it had rebooted. As it starts up, it keeps getting stuck on a screen with an Apple logo, wth a loading circle below. The circles spins for a few seconds and then stops.  I have tried hard reset (home and power button). I have also tried home and power button for ten seconds, and then just home button for ten seconds. I have tried that numerous times, while in iTunes, and while out of it. I really need some help, as it has no warranty left, so I cannot return it.
    Thanks in return,
    P.S I really would apprecciate any help.

  • HT201263 what happens if my iphone won't go into recovery mode?

    I tried to update to the new software, but for some reason it did not complete the install and has left my phone in a state of "plug phone into itunes".  I have tried getting my phone into restore mode, using the instructions on the Apple site, and it is still in "plug into itunes" mode and itunes still does not detect the phone.  Without going to an Apple store on superbowl sunday, can anyone help me?

    Try to restore it from DFU mode as follows:
    Reboot your computer
    Disable your antivirus and firewall
    Connect the USB cable to a USB port directly on your computer, not a hub - do not connect the other end of the cable yet
    Launch iTunes, making sure you have the latest version (11), or at least 10.7
    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons on your iPhone for EXACTLY 10 seconds, until the screen goes black, then release the SLEEP button but continue holding the HOME button - If an Apple logo appears you have held too long; do it again
    Connect the cable to the phone while holding HOME
    iTunes should recognize a phone in Recovery mode. When it does release the HOME button and wait
    Don't touch your computer or phone until the restore completes or you get an error message; ignore any other displays or messages on the phone.
    If you get an error message post it for analysis. Include the error number.

  • My ipod touch 4 put itself into recovery mode

    My ipod touch 4 put itself into recovery mode and when i plugged it in it asked me restore it, i clicked restore and it extracted the software then crashed, leaving it with no software. i then gave it to my nearest apple store and the guy said it cant be fixed telling me it was a hardware problem. Any suggestions as to what it could be and if it can be fixed? I really appreciate it

    What crashed?
    iTunes? The whole computer?

  • IPod touch disabled, cannot get into recovery mode or unlock to enter passcode.

    I've got an 8GB iPod touch that is disabled, cannot be unlocked, and it will not go into recovery mode. When I plug it into iTunes, it says "iTunes could not connect to the iPod touch because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPod touch before it can be used with iTunes." At the top is a red banner that says "iPod is disabled connect to iTunes" and it won't let me unlock it to enter a passcode and I've tried the recovery mode where you plug it in when powered off holding the home button, but I guess the iPod isn't updated enough for it to work (doesn't look like the new Apple OS) because when I do that, it just powers on like normal. What do I need to do because I'm definitely at a stopping point. Please help me get this iPod into working condition.

    Try Recovery Mode again. Timing is critical so it may not have been done correctly the first time. Detailed instructions at: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.

  • Help!!!  I'm locked out and My Ipod touch will NOT go into recovery mode no matter what I do...I haven't read this problem anywhere!

    My grandson got his little hands on my ipod and has locked me out. I now get the red lable of doom and it tells me I must connect to Itunes to fix it.  Problem is I don't have the orginal computer I synced up with. (It crashed about 5 weeks ago).  Well I didn't think that would be that big of a deal becuase I have a lot of junk on my Ipod and had been thinking about re-formating it anyway.  Well I've tried every method out there and I can not get this thing into recovery. I powered it off. unplugged the usb cord from the Ipod but left it plugged into the computer. Held down the Home button and plugged in the USB cord. the little apple logo comes up. Then after about 10 secs it goes right to the disabled screen.
    I also tried it on different computers and tried different usb cords, I've tried also going into DFU mode...nothing it just goes right to the password screen...HELP...I've not read about this problem anywhere.

    Have a MacBook Pro (2009) and had no problems until upgrading to LIon from Snow Leopard... thanks!

    Hi there - thanks very much for your suggestion, it did reboot eventually but took a long time to get there.
    I've have run Disk Utility. After Verifying the disk it said it needed Repairing - so tried doing that and got the message " Error: Utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files" I have got Time Machine but haven't backed-up since Dec 12...Can I use "Restore" to copy the MBP HD to an external HD and then re-install Lion?
