IPod 4g stuck on connect to iTunes and not being recognised by my computer D:

Basically I erased all data via reset option in settings and now when the iPod boots it shows the "connect to iTunes" picture, problem is for some reason my iPod doesn't even get recognised by any PC's in my house. I have tried uninstalling all my apple software, in services apple mobile device and iPod Service are both running, but in device manager there are no apple devices under the universal serial bus controllers.
Please help I'm feeling rather sad about this and I have a bunch of exams coming up so I need my iPod to chill with a little bit. D:
Thanks in advance,
Ash

IPhone stuck at "connect to iTunes" and not detected

Hey all,
Last night I tried to update to the new OS. While doing so there was an error with the installation and now my phone is stuck at the "connect to iTunes" logo. When it is plugged in, its not detected by iTunes so I can't restore. I've checked my Device Manager and the phone is indeed detected and installed properly on my computer. I've tried entering DFU mode but that hasn't gotten it detected either. People have been saying just leave it plugged in so I did overnight. Its been 6 hours now and I'm pretty upset. Anyone have any ideas?

Try connecting to a different USB port, a different sync cable, or a different computer.

If the phone was NOT unlocked, it can't work or be activated with any other carrier than AT&T. It CAN'T be used with Tigo or Movistar.
Your post makes very little sense. Maybe you can get some help with English.

After updating ios my ipad is stuck in recovery mode and is not being recognised by the computer in windows or itunes. Help!

Help - I am stuck in Afghanistan on operations and my iPad mini has died.
I tried to update the IOS as directed, there were a few error messages and I cancelled the process.
The ipad now only shows the connect to itunes screen and is not being recognised by the computer in either windows or itunes.
I have tried several resets and restarted the computer and reinstalled itunes.
Is there anything else I can do.
This is my only method of talking back to my family at the moment and is really quite important.

Thanks, I will give it a go. Will it work on my computer after I do that?

What can i do when my iphone activition screen show connect to itunes and not show wifi

what can i do when my iphone activition screen show connect to itunes and not show wifi

You also are not showing any cellular service. Have you contacted your provider regarding that? Regarding your WiFi, do you have wifi turned on in settings? Did you get your phone to show up in iTunes on your computer? I think we are dealing with several issues since you said that you have a message on your phone to connect to iTunes and you don't have cellular service.

IPhone 3G not charging and not being recognised by PC

I plugged my iPhone 3G into my laptop today to charge it, as the battery was extremely low and for some reason, it's not being recognised by my computer at all, and it's not charging at all.
I've tried plugging it into a powerpoint in the wall as well, and it still doesn't charge.
I plugged my iPod into my computer with the same USB cable, and it worked fine.
If I hold in the power button at the top, the battery picture comes up with a tiny bit of red in it and the power cable -> charge pictures come up underneath, then the screen just goes black again.
I've never had this problem before, so I'm not sure what to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem after the upgrade, but think I may have a solution. The problem doesn't seem to be that the phone isn't charging, it's that the indicator isn't showing that it has charged. Try this:
1. Plug into the wall socket.
2. Push and hold the power button, you should get a "slide to turn off" kind of message -- do it.
3. Let the phone power off, and leave it that way for a slow count of ten.
4. Turn it back on by pushing and holding the power button -- you'll get that black screen with the apple logo, don't panic, it just takes a minute to power up, you haven't lost anything.
When it came on, the indicator showed it was fully charged from the night before. My concern is that the indicator got hosed by the upgrade.
Try that out, let me know if it works -- and at your own risk. It worked for me as written, but I can't guarantee that will do the trick or not wipe your phone. I don't think so, it seems innocuous enough, just wanted to make sure you're aware there could be another resynch needed if it does do something else for you.

Everytime i turn on my ipod it says to connect to itunes and when i do it does nothing.. what do i do?

3rd gen 8GB ipod touch stuck on connect to itunes

This isn't fair. I just bought this 3rd gen 8gb ipod touch (my first ipod ever, only owned Mp3 players) from best buy today and i can't even use it...
I'm going to start from square one, this will be long-winded, so forgive me in advance. But detail might help you guys help me out...
Okay, all giddy with excitement I boot up my touch for the first time. It tells me to connect it to itunes. I do that, hooking up the touch to the computer via usb. Vista detects it, installs the "apple mobile device" drivers just fine. Good, so then I open up itunes -- latest version -- and it's telling me to set up my ipod; name it, etc. Alright, I'm almost bursting at the seams here with excitement, but then itunes is notifying me that iOS4 is out. I upgrade, it takes a few minutes to do its stuff, it's done, and bam it's working. I play with the ipod a little bit, looking at the apps that already came with it. I disconnect, play with it, then reconnect to the computer again.
So now, itunes for some reason is doing a "recovery" process -- i did not tell it to initiate this. So it's in the process of "recovering" (backing up, i guess?) and Vista is prompting me to install the driver "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery)" I tell it ok, locate and install them. It does that, I'm guessing, for it's now prompting me to insert a CD. Well, there is no CD so I tell it to find this driver on the internet. It says "cannot find drivers check manufacturer's support site blah blah blah." At this point, itunes tells me that it cannot complete the "recovery process" -- no error code or anything, and the dialog box closes.
Now, my ipod goes into the connect to itunes screen. Itunes does not recognize it, for it does not even display my ipod at all. Vista does however, and each time i connect the ipod to the computer it attempts to install the "apple mobile device (recovery)" driver and fails each time. I don't know what's happening. I've lost all functionality in my ipod, can't even get into DFU. iTunes just refuses to recognize it. I've tried all of those fixes (reinstalling itunes, rebooting, trying that method where you go into device manager and update the apple mobile device (recovery) drivers....all of it doesn't work). I've spent hours websearching...
And I'm at a loss. I'm ready to throw this thing somewhere. Can you guys suggest any help for me? Please...

IPhone 4 stuck on connect to iTunes and won't budge!

Please help! I was trying to update my mother's iPhone 4 to iOS 5 and in the midst of the update I get an error that says cannot restore and now the phone is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen. I've tried holding down the home and power keys and while it will reboot, it goes right back to the connect to iTunes screen. It is not being recognized by the computer either. Please help!!

Do you update?
If you update OTA, you can hold power and home till it restarts and release when apple logo shows.
If not, you can hold power and home for 10 seconds and release power after 10 seconds but keep holding home till itunes says the phone in recovery mode.
Try a different USB port to restore.

Ipod Touch won't connect to Itunes, and is stuck on the connect to Itunes screen, can't do anything on it.

Hey,
I bought my Ipod about 6 weeks ago, and after lending it to a friend to put some software on it, it's stuck at the screen with a usb cable then an arrow pointing to the Itunes logo, and when I connect it, Itunes doesn't pick it up, I'm sure it needs restoring, but I can't as Itunes doesn't pick it up. I've re-installed Itunes but still nothing.
Help would be greatly appreciated as I'm going to a deserted mountain in Ireland for a week in a couple of days, and will need it ! (:

Ok I yhink the different computer thing is working, I connected it to my mums and it's restoring, though I think her version of Itunes is quite old, and it's saying it's an Iphone, but it is restoring so far. Thanks!

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

I have tried everything that apple.com has told me. I have watched countless videos. I'm at a complete loss. I just want my ipod to work without destroying my computer.
This "connect to itunes" screen is driving me nuts.
Please HELP!!!

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 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 stuck on 'connect to itunes' - Restore is not working

We've got an Ipod touch (no idea on generation) that we were trying to sync some apps to from a laptop (not mac), they wouldn't sync so we tried resetting the ipod and syncing everything together. After resetting when we tried to access the ipod on itunes it just came up with 'could not connect to itunes store' (where we are it is currently blocked) which meant that we could not access the ipod via itunes in any way and then ipod was then stuck on the 'connect to itunes' screen.
We tried turning both it and laptop off and on again, disconnecting etc. Then tried the restore using the home and on/off button which triggered the restore via itunes by putting it into recovery mode and it downloads everything fine but the ipod still remains on the connected to itunes screen - we've now tried restoring it 4 or 5 times.
I was confused as to why the ipod wanted to connect to the itunes store in the first place because it has never asked to do so before and as it is blocked here then for every sync before this it has not been connected nor has it wanted to be. Perhaps it's to do with the apps? But there are apps already on the ipad. Perhaps taking the laptop and ipod to somewhere with wireless where the itunes store isn't blocked will allow us to access the ipod and restore/reset/sync and that will fix the issue?
We're loathe to take it all the way to the nearest apple shop, especially on a wet Sunday, just for them to tell us that their only advice is to trigger the recovery mode which we know doesn't work! So any other advice is much appreciated.
Just to clarify, we have been through recovery mode 4 or 5 times and done a full restore on it, with it downloading all the software and firmware and it hasn't worked.

To restore an iPod an internet connection to the iTunes store is is required. iTunes on the computer has to g to the Apple server to verify that it is using the latest firmware update.

IPod Touch stuck on "Connect to iTunes" screen after attempting to install iOS6

Like the title says, I attempted to update my iOS on my 4th generation ipod touch. Not only did the update not install due to some unknown error, my ipod has been stuck at the dreaded "Connect to iTunes" screen. It isn't being recognized by Windows 7 when I plug it in, either. I've gone through the apple pages and followed their trouble shooting guide, and still nada. I've reinstalled iTunes, restarted my computer, done the sleep/wake and home button tricks, updated the drivers, uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers, used 3 different cords to connect my ipod to my PC, let it die then try to connect it; you name it. Does anyone else have advice on how to fix this? It's only a month old, and this is really frustrating.

To try recovery mode try using this program instead of the buttons.
