  • I'm updating my iPod Touch 5th Gen and it says "Connect to iTunes" and I have, but nothing happens.

    Okay, so, I unlocked my iPod and it said an update was available, so I tapped install. It wasn't connected to a power source, and I didn't think it'd make any difference if I was or not. So, I tapped it, blah, blah, blah, and then it said to connect to iTunes. So, I did, but my laptop didn't make the noise it usually does when I plug in the USB cable, so I tried it over and over again, but still the same result. I've updated iTunes to the newest version, and nothing happened still. So I decided to just cancel the update. But, now, "Connect to iTunes" will not go away from my screen no matter what I try. I've tried looking for solutions online, but none help. So, if someone could PLEASE help me fix this.

    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    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        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • My ipod touch 3g keeps asking to connect to itunes and i no longer have the computer

    help me please

    Connect the iPod to another computer that has iTunes installed and restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod  If iTunes asks for the passcode and you do not know it or it will not accept the passcode, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore it.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    You will lose everything on the iPod, but that is the way it is.

  • Ipod touch 4th gen stuck on connect to itunes and itunes doesn't detect the ipod. tried all options the wedsite gave me nothing is working

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

    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 another cable
    - 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.

  • IPod Touch is disabled, won't connect to iTunes and will not go into recovery mode.

    Hello! I had lost my iPod touch for several months and finally found it. However, I didn't remember the passcode. Now it's disabled and says to connect to iTunes. iTunes is saying that I must enter in the passcode before it can connect. I tried following apple's instructions on putting it in recovery mode, but when the home button is held down, only the apple logo appears until the disabled screen comes up again.
    Any suggestions?

    Try DFU mode.

  • Ipod touch was working till i connected to itunes and now won't turn on

    I connected it and asked for me to authorize like sixty applications and every time i tried itunes timed out.While doing so it had the apple logo with the loading screen around it and after the third try the ipod became unresponsive.It will not turn on,or restore.I tried holding the two buttons for a full min but still nothing,please help...

    OK, problem solved.
    I didn't want to restore my iPod until I knew that it was something to do with my hard drive. Also I was a bit hesitant because the songs were playing fine on my iPod. It just wasn't being recognized by my computer when I connected it.
    However when I dropped by the Apple Store they were swamped with customers. I didn't get a chance to see anyone at the Genius Bar.
    So I decided to restore my iPod, even if it meant I would be losing all my songs.
    This is my 3rd iPod (my other ones broke) so I knew all about backing my songs onto a CD.
    After I restored it it was working fine!
    So I suggest all you people to BACK UP YOUR MUSIC.
    There were so many times when my iPod screwed up on my and I lost everything.
