IPod continuously goes into factory settings

I recently reset my iPod using the center and menu button, because it froze while I tried to turn it off. When I had restarted it, the iPod went back to factory settings. I now will try to put it into my computer, but after the restoration process, it will repeat itself.
Basically after the 15 second message box, it'll repeat the whole thing over again.
Any help?

Let's try to figure this out. First, did it ever connect successfully before (I'm guessing it did)? What changed since the last time it worked and now? In particular, did this problem start after an upgrade of iTunes? What version of iTunes are you using?
You likely don't need to chuck your iPod, as your problem is (most likely) notyour iPod, but iTunes.

  • My Ipod touch won't get into factory settings

    When I try to restore my IPOD Touch, it loads and then its says that mty IPOD will restart and go into factory settings mode but then it goes back to the apple logo on my IPOD touch.  Anyone out there have a solution for me? 

    Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer
    Maybe:
    Try:
    - 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.

    or
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

  • IPod mini goes into pause on its own

    My iPod mini goes into pause mode on its own even though the lock is on. I have to then, unlock and press play to continue. Any idea if this is a hardware or software bug. Thanks.

    I have the same problem. It is indeed the headphone connection. Sometimes I just barely touch the jack and it pauses, very inconvenient for a mobile device!!! Is there any way to cancel this stupid function? I am old enough to turn my ipod off after use and when I forget it, I will just recharge it. Excuse my sarcasm, but I hate function that are only noticed when causing problems. For now I have to get off my bike and press play everytime the cord moves a nanometer!

    Ever since I updated my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to IOS 6 all my iMessages are coming to both my iPhone and my IPad. How do I stop the iMessages I send and receive on my phone from receiving on my iPad as well? I have tried going into my settings and making sure I'm only set up to receive iMessages to my cell number and not my email....but that didn't fix the problem.

    Here the way to do it, for both, or for only one Go into your settings, Messages and turn on iMessage. It will then send messages that are iMessages to both your iPad and iPhone. You can also turn off this feature on the iPad if you do not want to receive messages on the iPad.

    Connect the iPod to the computer and restore via iTunes. If necessary, place the iPod in Recovery Mode to allow the restore.

    My Iphone went into Factory settings when I Synced it to Itunes. Now it won't open in Itunes to restore my info. What do I do?

    I have experienced a similar error with the iPhone 4S.  The new version of iTunes will not let me restore the phone, it must be updated and nothing appears to be happening.  Suffice it to say I am not amused.  Apple needs to work this out - I had trouble updating to 8.0.2 as well.

  • IPod touch reverts to factory settings after every update.

    I bought my iPod touch in March, and have never had any problems. Then about two months ago, it wiped itself after a software update (through iTunes) and reverted back to original factory settings (turn it on, get starter screen telling you to connect iPod, everything is gone, etc). I figured it was a one-time glitch and put everything back on it. However, it has happened three times now, and every time, it happens right after an update. I back it up every time I plug it into my computer, but now, it won't back up, and it won't restore from a backup. It just gives me error messages, or the only available option is system restore (factory reset). I'm getting really frustrated with it, because I have to set up every single thing over and over again.
    Should I just try to send it in to replace/fix it, since I still have the one-year warranty? Or is there a way to fix this myself?

    This doesn't solve the fact that your iPod goes back to factory settings, but have you tried Backing it up onto iCloud? Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > (takes a few seconds to appear) Backup. You do have to be connected to internet to do this. All you have to do is to remember to do this before you update.

  • HT201210 I am receiving error code 1645 when trying to restore my ipod touch 4th to factory settings.

    I am running Windows Vista SP2 with iTunes 10.7.0.21. I had my iPod touch (4th) 8g replaced after cracking the screen. My replacement has never worked correctly. I am trying to restore to factory settings but I keep getting this message:
    The iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1645). I have tried restarting the computer, restarting the ipod, hard reset, erase all contents and settings. My iOS is 6.0.1. Virus software off, firewall off. Any suggestions? 

    I figured it out. I disconnected my ipod from my computer and powered it off using the slider. I pressed the home button and connected it again (keeping home button pressed until I saw the connect to itunes icon) It restored and updated.

  • Can I restore my 2nd generation ipod touch to its factory settings?

    I would like to let another person use my old 2nd generation ipod. If I restore it to its factory settings will I be able to add apps back on it under a different apple id? The ipod is old so many apps are not compatable.

    Apps are tied to the acount/ID that purchased them.
    Before you restore the iPod make sure that your iTunes library has the version of apps that are presently installed on your iPod. Many apps have been update and the update apps are not compatible with the 2G iPod. I would do that by deleting the apps from your iTunes library and then transfer them to iTunes. See:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    In iTunes 11 use Control+B to show the Menu bar then go to iTunes>File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    You can't add them back under another iD
