Try:

- 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.

Errors when updating leads to corrupt system files and this may be your problem. If you're using windows, connect your device to PC and run any third party app like Syncios. If it detects, you maybe in luck and try to back-up your data if possible. I hope that it won't and if doesn't, there is no other way to recover files. You should be restoring with iTunes and all data will be erased, or else your device may become unusable.

I tried to restore my ipod touch 2nd generation and now it won't sync to itunes. On the screen is the USB end of the cord and the iTunes logo over it.
I have turned it off and on, held the off button down and the select button down but it still comes up with that picture on the screen. Have I broken it?
Please help.

It means the device is in recovery mode. You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
You may need to connect it in recovery mode manually using the instructions in this Apple support document.

Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
1. Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

HT4623 Trying to update my iPod Touch to iOS 5

I'm trying to update my iPod Touch (3rd gen.) to iOS 5, but when I go through all the steps it says that the software is up to date with iOS 4.2.1. What am I doing wrong? Or is that the latest version of the software that the 3rd gen touch can run?

I suspect you realyhave a 2G iPOd. Those can only go to 4.2.1. If yours is an 8 or 16 GB one it is a 2G. Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. A 32 GB can be either.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

Trying to update an iPod touch to IOS 6. Downloaded upgrade

I tried to update my son's iPod Touch to IOS 6. Downloaded the software but kept getting an error message when I tried to update. Now iTune indicates that the device needs to be restored but it times out with an error message that it cannot be restored.
All data, games, everything has been wiped from the device.
Help! I am just techy enough to be able to figure out some things on my own, but I have no idea where to go with this.
Thanks

Place your iPhone in manual recovery mode or DFU mode.
1. Connect your iPhone
2. Open iTunes
3. Hold down the home and power button for 8 seconds. After 8 sec, let go of the power but still hold down the home button until iTunes recognize your phone in recovery mode
