IPod Stuck in an Automatic Reset

Hi everyone,
I need some major help. Today, I connected my iPod photo to my iBook as I always do in order to update it with some new music I recently loaded into iTunes.
Everything was fine, but when I disconnected the iPod and tried to use it, it was stuck in some kind of weird automatic reset. I've reset the iPod about 20 times and performed a complete restore to no avail! The iPod continues to reset itself.
It will go through the reset and then make it to the menu, but will automatically reset again. I try to play music and scroll around to avoid the reset, but it happens no matter what I do.
Can anyone help? I'm wondering if this happened because of the new iTunes. I can't recall if I've synced my iPod with the newest version.
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
Allison

Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes. For recovery mode:

Ipod stuck on apple logo, resetting multiple times has not helped, cannot access disk mode or diagnostic mode, and computer will not recognise device. Help?!

Help! Info as above. Ipod nano 3g, 8GB connecting to Windows XP.
I've trawled the forums hard and tried the multiple reset method, disk mode, diagnostic mode (neither of which I can access), charging, discharging, plugging it into the computer, and the wall.
Is there anything else I can do?? Very sad - can't listen to my tunes on the move now...

Ipod stuck on logo after reset

i reset my ipod touch 5G (holding home and power butons) and now it won't come back on. I have been waiting for over 5 minutes and counting please help.

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.

Ipod stuck on USB screen, resetting doesnt work, PC doesnt recognize ipod.

This is a brand new ipod touch, i took it out of the box, all the apps and everything worked fine. Then i plugged it into my PC and it popped right up in itunes, then it said i needed to update my ipod software. so i downloaded the update. but it stopped at the "preparing to restore" screen in itunes and now my ipods been frozen like this since. If i hold the sleep/home buttons it turns right off, i dont get the red slider bar. and when i turn it back on it shows the apple logo but goes right into the connect to usb screen. PLEASE HELP.

80G Classic Ipod Stuck in Reset Loop, Please Help

Hello,
My Ipod (80G classic) is stuck in the continuous reset loop showing only the apple logo. I have tried restoring it numerous times, to no avail. I have also tried uninstalling itunes and re-installing it, different versions also, this does not work either.
This is very frustrating, and I am finding no help on the apple site. Any suggestions?

I'm not clear if you've actually managed to get iTunes to restore the iPod yet. These steps should make it possible. Hold Menu+Select for about 6 seconds until the iPod resets, then hold Menu+Play as soon as the Apple logo appears, again for about 6 seconds to put the machine in disk mode. Connect the iPod to your computer, closing iTunes if it opens. Browse *My Computer* and right-click on the drive for the iPod, click Properties, then click Tools. Under Error-checking, click *Check Now*. Under Check disk options, select *Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors*. Click Start. Mac users should run *Disk Utility / Repair Disk* for the equivalent process. This should find and correct any errors in the logical & physical structures of your iPod's hard drive. Once these have been fixed you should be able to start iTunes and complete the restore process. I'd suggest you don't rush to put back all your music in one go. Test that the iPod works with a smaller playlist first.

Ipod stuck on reset screen...

I few weeks ago my ipod went black so I reset it, resulting it in getting stuck on the reset screen. I have successfully put it into disk mode and the 'set up' mode. But I cannot get it to go back to the normal setting.
When it's connected to my dock or my PC it will 'charge' but neither the dock or PC will recognize it.

Hi bwagner23,
While your iPod is disconnected from your computer (but mostly charged), can you sucessfully force it into disk mode? Sometimes that can get cause an iPod to get a bit more "in control" when it does this kind of constantly restarting behavior.
For instructions on how to put an iPod into disk mode, see this article:
Putting iPod into disk mode
If you can sucessfully get your iPod into disk mode, try connecting it to your computer for a restore (if it's recognized by iTunes while in disk mode).

Ipod touch 8GB stuck in loop after resetting ipod during update

I reset my ipod touch 4th generation while it was going through an update because it stoped during the update and would not continue and i couldnt get out of the update screen. after doing so the ipod goes to the start up screen and does either of three things. 1. turns on, goes to boot up screen with apple logo and then goes to a screen with colors varying in blue. 2. ipod stays in a continued reset where the apple logo appears as though its turning on and after about a minute or two then flashes starts again. or 3 starts up and stays on the boot up screen and stays there. i have tried connecting to my computer and to itunes with no avail. any help would be appreciated

Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

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

4Gen touch stuck on logo screen, reset doesnt seem to help.

Hey guys
i just found my ipod stuck on the logo screen when i tried to start it. I have tried to reset the ipod with the sleep/home button combination but the screen just flickers and then it gets stuck on the logo again. The ipod does come up in my computer but it doesnt seem to show up in itunes. Is there any way to reset this other then the initial home/sleep combination?
Thanx heaps for the help.

try connecting the device in _*recovery mode*_.
also, make sure [_*Apple Mobile Device Service*_|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567] is installed and started.
as a last resort, try putting your Touch in [_*DFU mode*_|http://www.podzombie.com/2010/01/using-dfu-mode-to-fix-ipod-touch-and-ip hone-errors>.

iPod stuck on ok to disconnect

Hi there robdaubs,
You may find the information in the article below helpful.
About the Do not disconnect and OK to disconnect screens for iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA44686
If your iPod displays this message but is not connected to a computer, or another device such as iPod Camera Connector, reset it to remove it from disk mode.
To avoid this behavior in the future, make sure that you safely disconnect your iPod prior to disconnecting it from your computer.
