Ipod is set up then goes back to apple logo

I have been trying to update the software on my nephews ipod.  It updated, asked me to sign in etc, said ipod was set up and ready to use, click to 'start using', then it briefly shows home screen the goes back to apple logo screen and asks me to sign in all over again.  Done this about 10 times now.

Maybe:
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 If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue.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.

  • When i turn my ipod touch 4g on it goes from the apple logo to the white wheel then to a blank white screen, please help

    After using itunes to restore it i turned my ipod touch on and it stayed on the apple logo for a few minutes then it would change to a spinning wheel on a black screen then the screen would turn white and the process will repeat. I can still put it in dfu mode and recovery mode but they don't help. So hopefully someone in this community can help me. And this all started when i updated it to ios 6.1.3 from 6.1.2. and also my computer and itunes dont recognize it

    See if you missed anything here:

    - 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.

  • My ipod touch displays a loading symbol and then goes to the apple logo and then repeats the process. I cant turn it on or off and has been this way for the past 24 hours. I have an 8GB 4th Gen and have over 7,000 pictures, but cant delete. help

    My ipod has over 7,000 pictures and there are 5,00 i could easily delete but it wont let me do anything! it just has a loading symbol that converts into an apple logo and then back again. Ive tried pressing down the home and sleep/wake button down at the same time for 10 seconds. The apple logo does appear, but it goes back to the loading symbol or a white screen. Its been like this for 24 hours and is unresponsive. Please help.

    - Connect the iPod to the computer and see if iTunes sees it. If it sees it try to get the photos off the iPod.
    - Next let the battery fully drain. It will likely take days. After charging for at least an hour try again

  • Help! only apple logo is showing... every once and awhile it stoips and goes away like its trying to work; then goes back to apple sign againnnnn!!!!

    my cousin has a 2 or 3g apple ipod.
    okay so today my cousin told me that at 11:00 today she downloaded 2 apps: twitter and a weemee one. she was playing on normal apps after the 2 downloaded adn her ipod just randomly shut off. she thought it needed to chargfe, so she plugged it in. for the rest of the day it did not turn on and gave the apple logo. shes tried to reset it, but it hasnt worked. ive come to the conclusion that this theapps werent the problem, because me and her sister both have the same apps.  my cousin who has the issue has a 3rd generation ipod touch. and she also stated the apps werernt the problem because approximately an hour before she downloaded the apps, her emails got wacked. when she clicked on the email app, it only showed a peculiar date: 12/31/00 and nothing else. she plugged it into a laptop when she got home, and it asked her if she wanted to update it, however it would lose her data. she clicked yes anyways, not sure what it had to do. she found ou that it lost all of her data, songs, apps and everything, and replaced it  with the ipod 4th generation starter apps (facetime, camera, game center, etc.) and she cant use them because she doesnt have the 4th generation ipod.? howand why did this happen and how can yopu resolve it ASAP? thanks. all answers appreciated:)
    i feel reaaaaaallly bad for my cousin, so can you please help reaaaaaallly soooooooon?!?!?

    I would try placing the iPod in DFU mode and then restoring the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod.

  • When I try to play a song on my iPod Touch, it shows the information screen for the song and then skips to a new song but then goes back to the main playlist page without ever playing a song! Help!

    thats tough man, yeah exchanging it is the best option. But why do people always leave a message saying" i'll probably just by an ipod" and it's usually followed by, "even though i don't like apple or ipod" . I mean fine, if u feel like giving up on the zen micro thats fine, i personally don't care if you're going to buy an ipod. for god sakes ipod isn't even the next alternati've mp3 players, theres plenty. Are u just trying to get the creative people saying "oh man we lost another one to ipod" cuz i'm sure they don't lose sleep over u wanting to buy an ipod instead of a zen. *done ranting*
