IPod stuck in recovery mode with home button not working

Hi, I was restoring my iPod and everything went fine until it was restarting with the apple logo and loading symbol. My iPod's home button hasn't been working in a while so I use assistive touch. Now the iPod is stuck in recovery mode and I can't press the home button, I don't know what to do. Pls help!

Try:                                               
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
Whenit says place the iPod in recoivery mode:
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot

- 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.

  • Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.1

    I've just upgrade my iphone 4 to OS 4.3.1 and I'm having issues with home button not working. Need to hit it several times before I can close an app or wake the iphone. Any one having this issue?

    It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1
    Apple answer is - no answer. It is a shame that the quality of their products, in terms of design and concept, is not match by a care for customers. It is not normal that I, as a customer, have to spend hours reading Apple Discussions forum to try to understand what the problem is. A little more respect for a customer that spend big $$$ buying their products wouldn't hurt.

  • My iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode with a broken 'lock' button.

    My iPod touch 4th generation is stuck in recovery mode with a black screen and I can't get it out. It has a broken lock button and I have tried everything to get it out of recovery mode. Every time I plug it into iTunes, it recognises my iPod and says 'iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used in iTunes, so I have restored it several times and every time, it says there is an unknown error. Please Help!! (my iPod is IOS 6.0.1)

    What is the complete wording of the error message that says unknown error? Usually more information like a error number is also given.

  • Jailbroken iPod stuck in recovery mode iTunes and PC won't recognize

    Hello,
    First of all, I bought my iPod Touch 8GB 2G (modelnumber is A1288,so according to Apple it's 2G) second hand. Second, I'm really a noob! I don't know anything bout iPods, so please explain everything extensively. I bought the iPod for my little brother, and he decided to jailbreak it. Unfortunately, I didn't know that, so when I tried to erase all data from the iPod at once, it got stuck in recovery mode (with the usb cable and itunes logo). iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod, the PC (win7, 64-bit) doesn't recognize the iPod either (it reports: 'Windows doesn't recognize the USB device'). DFU mode doesn't do anything. The device is called 'Unknown Device' in Device Manager. I tried to manually update the driver of the iPod with C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Driver but it failed (Code 10. Device doesn't start). De failed attempt only resulted in the change of the name from 'Unknow Device' (with a yellow exclamenation mark) into 'Apple Mobile Device USB Driver'. But when I connect the iPod to another computer it's back to 'Unknown Device' again and gets Code 43 in Device Manager. What can I do?
    With kind regards,
    Rosa (from the Netherlands)
    Problems:
    Jailbreak (don't want it)
    Stuck in recovery mode (usb cable and iTunes logo)
    iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod
    Windows doesn't recognize the device
    Unknown Device' at Device Manager
    Can't update the driver via Device Manager (Code 10. Device doesn't start. And on another laptop Code 43)

    Sometimes jailbreaking bricks the device.

  • IPad1 stuck in recovery mode with and ITunes cannot restore with an error code of 11?

    I tried to update to IOS 4.3.4 today but now my iPad1 stuck in recovery mode with and ITunes cannot restore with an error code of 11?
    (With the old discussion groups it was easy to see where other people had similar problems, these new groups seems clunky in comparison)

    OK, fixed it by using SHIFT+RESTORE to load the iPad1,1_4.3.4_8K2_Restore.ipsw  file in directly from the
    C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPad Software Updates
    folder.
    No idea why the upgrade to 4.3.3 failed in the first place and no idea why iTunes was not clever enough to just do it by itself when it detected that there was a problem in the first place.

  • 4s stuck in recovery mode with error 29

    The problems started when I changed the battery, now phone is stuck in recovery mode with an error code 29. Ive turned the firewall off and anti virus on my norton security, switched the computer on and off and tried to restore the phone about 6 times now. Has anyone any other ideas please?

    That's a hardware problem, most likely cause when you broke something in the process of changing the battery.

    Find a competent 3rd party repair shop or buy a new phone. Apple won't touch that one now that you've opened it.

    Hi ShinefromOKC,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!

    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. An incorrectly set default packet size can cause this error. Contact the software manufacturer that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows:How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Happy Holidays!

  • My iphone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes will not recognize my phone. I've tried pretty much every trick i can and i still do not know what to do. Someone please help me

    My iphone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes will not recognize my phone. I've tried pretty much every trick i can and i still do not know what to do. Someone please help me

    I've done all of these, even trying a different USB port, and still, nothing. This is really confusing. Windows 8.1 said something to do with USB malfunction or something and nothing works. I need to restore my iPhone quickly and nothing has happened. My cable is not genuine Apple product. iTunes makes the noise that it makes when I connect the device, but it doesn't say 'iPhone is in recovery mode' or even say 'iPhone' in the corner. I am really fed up and would really appreciate a response.
    Thanks,
    Nathan.

  • IPod home button not working

    Hi
    I have an iPod touch 4th generation and the home button isn't working. It's not the normal issue where it's stuck, or it won't function because you can't press it. The home button on my iPod is visible, as in the black button has been removed and I can see the tiny circular home button, (if you've ever seen the inside the iPod). When I press the tiny circular button, it doesn't work. Circuitry issues, maybe? If anyone could help, I'd be so grateful.
