I have a big problem! My ipod touch is stuck! it won't open, all I see when I open it is the itunes icon with a USB cable and an arrow! What can I do? I've tried connectingit with itunes, but itunes doesn't see it. plus i have windows 8

Can't connect my ipod toch to itunes!!! It doesn't see it! I use windows 8, don't know if that's the problem. Anyways, my ipod is stuck! Every time I open it, it stays stuck with the image of a USB cable with an arrow pointing towards an itunes icon. but whatever I do, my computer doesn't see it, and neither does itunes. What to do???!!!

The the remaining items of the following, you may have to let the battery fully drain.
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

  • New iPod nano, comes with a USB cable and CLIP? Whats it for?

    My new ipod 2gb nano comes with a usb cable and a little clip or stand type thing that the nano can sit in and at the bottom has a hole that the usb wire sort of fits through but it isn't made to sit on the desk, its more like a clip of something, any ideas what this is or how to use it?

    The extra piece is the adapter for the Universal Dock. The dock has a well in it and there's an adapter for each size of iPod that goes into it.

    I tried to update my 4s to the latest ios6. itunes came back and said there was an unexpected error. the screen on the phone is hung showing a usb cable and an arrow pointing to the itunes icon. itunes does not see the phone as being plugged into my computer.

    Error 1604:
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • TS3744 I updated I Tunes today and now I cannot open my I-Pod I Touch. The screen only shows the I tunes icon with the USB cable and an arrow pointint to the icon and I can't get it off of my screen or access my home screen   Help!

    I updated I tunes today , now I am unable to open my I Pod I Touch, the screen shows the I Tunes logo with a USB cord and arrow pointing back up to the icon, can't access my Home page

    The screen indicates that your device is in recovery mode.  It has to be restored by connecting it to a computer with itunes.  Restore to factory settings.
    This happens sometimes.  Hopefully you have a backup.

  • Upon updating desktop keeps asking to restart and when I do, I get the same thing....over and over. What gives?

    I tried to update Firefox. Everything went well until restarting computer. Result was nothing....got the same as I had before. Each time I tried to open Firefox, I got message to restart computer to complete installation of update. This goes on over and over. I have tried to uninstall Firefox using Control Panel and I get same results.....a message to restart the computer and this repeats itself also.

    You can try to boot the computer in Safe mode (press F8 on the boot screen) to see if that allows to remove the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) if you can't uninstall Firefox or remove/rename that folder in regular mode.

  • Yosemite has ruined performance of my 3-year-old iMac with freezes, application shutdowns and more. What can I do?

    Since installing Yosemite my iMac frequently freezes, particularly when I have multiple windows open/apps running. I've never had this problem before. All my apps are installed on a solid-state drive and all documents, etc. on a separate drive, so I'm accustomed to fast performance. Most problems seem to occur with Microsoft Office (Word and Entourage) and Safari, but that's what I use most heavily, so no surprise. I have always been able to keep a lot of apps/windows open on desktop without performance problems, until now. Yosemite is leaving me stranded. (I upgraded to Yosemite because a couple of the newest apps I use on my two Macs and iPhone require Yosemite.) Any advice?

  • My 4g ipod touch wont turn on after i turned it off using both butttons. its staying at the apple icon screen. help?

    After trying to update facebook, installation stopped at about 99%. it appered to have stopped the installation. i then held down the lock and home button to turn it off. now my screen is stuck with the apple icon.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My power PC iMac will not start, I get a file picture with an alternating ? and face. What can I do to get the computer to start?

    My wife and nephew were trying to down load some pictures from his digital camera. When they plugged the card reader into the bus to read the digital camera card it wouldn't work. Now when I turn on the imac all I get is an picture of a small file with an alternating "?" and apple face. How do I get the imac to start up?

    Do you have reliable backup you can restore from, as an erase and re-install may be required?
    Before you got down that route, it's possible that it might get fixed if you try again. Not sure about that particular error, but I have had errors in the past that Disk Utility wouldn't fix on the first attempt but then subsequently did.
    It's also possible that the (around $99, I think) Disk Warrior might resolve it - but not guaranteed.
    However, I just found this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3862376?start=15&tstart=0 have a look at Nirvi's post at the end - there may be hope (I've not tried this, although it seems to have helped a few, although not everybody - so at your own risk and I wouldn't try it if I didn't have backup).

  • I downloaded the latest itunes version while my ipod 4 touch was plugged into my usb port on my laptop. After it downloaded on my computer the ipod froze and it shows a picture of a usb cable, and an arrow pointing to the itunes symbol.

    i tried to restart and re download everything and it still is doing the same thing. this keeps happening alot and i have to end up taking the ipod to the apple store to have them erase everything on my ipod to restart it. is there anything i can do at home to fix it

    Have you tried to put the device into DFU mode?
    To put the device in DFU mode,
    1. Connect the device to iTunes
    2. Hold both the power button and the home button down simultaneously
    3. After 10 seconds, release the power button but leave the home button pressed
    4. iTunes should then recognize that the device has entered DFU mode and ask to restore.
    I hope that helps.

  • HT201412 while updating my iPad to ios7, it is stuck on the iTunes-USB screeen and frozen. What can be done without taking the chance to lose all of the data on the iPad?

    While updating my iPad to ios7, it got stuck on the iTunes-USB screen and is frozen. No other screen shows up when I turn it off or on.

    If it's showing the iTunes icon and USB then that means that it's gone into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    Prior to starting the update you took a backup ? If not then it's now too late to do so, you will need to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and you can then restore to your last backup or resync your content.
