IPod Stuck on black software update screen! someone Help

1. before i started getting these Messages..my iPod was working fine. as i got an Update stating there was a new firmware out.
(4.3.5) so i download and update which was one of the options. everything seemd to be working properly, until my phone stayed at a Black screen with apple logo and Download status bar.
Then after having the iPod Plugged in for 5 hours i disconnected the device and pluged it back in. the Above picture shows what happened after that.
("iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes")
2. After the messages came up, this Pop up bvox came up and i pressed the "restore and Update" button and let it download the software again...
3. i Open up iTunes and see that is says "Restoring iPod software" but the bar indicates that its about a few seconds from being done.. but 5 more hours and its still in the same place. it hasnt moved..
4. This is what my iPod is stuck at after trying the same methods of getting my iPod to turn back on.
WHAT DO I DO TO GET MY IPOD BACK WORKING???

The worst of these background programs, MacKeeper requires you remove it with third party instructions:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3036
You should not use cache cleaners on any system other than a backed up system.
You should not multitask while attempting to back your data.
Open the Activity Viewer to determine what other processes may be running and determine if one of those is one you recognize that is third party.
Antivirus and firewall software are not essential, unless you practice unsafe computing in the first place.  In those instances ClamAV and Sophos are probably the best bets about being the least intrusive.

  • Security update 2014-002 won't install, stuck on gray Software update screen

    My mac mini has been trying to install this security update the past week.  It asks for me to restart, when I do it gets stuck on a Software Updater page or gray screen.  The only way I can proceed is the shut the computer down by manually holding down the power button.  When I restart it shows the update not applied.
    I've tried downloading the update directly and applying and no difference.  Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • New Q10 stuck on Software Update Screen

    I've just got a brand new Q10, turned it on and started going through the setup screens, but it's stuck on the software update screen. It'll check for updates for a few minutes and then display a message saying it can't reach the update server and direct me back to wifi setup. It's staying connected to my wifi network, which is stable and has a strong signal, but still has been unable to connect. I've tried rebooting several times by turning it off and back on, and done several battery pulls, but it continues to take me straight back to that screen and starts the whole frustrating process again.
    Please help!

    I recommend trying again tomorrow... or Monday
    it's late right now and the servers might be down for maintenance.
    10.2 is slowly rolling out and the servers may be busy right now

  • HT1296 Phone stuck on software update screen

    I tried doing a software update on my iphone 4s but now its stuck on the loading update screen. It won't finish loading, won't sync to the computer. I've tried several hard resets. Nothing works. I have pics of my baby i dont want to lose. Is there anything I can do to save my pics?

    If the device does not continue it is sometimes indicative of some kind of interruption durring the update. If you have a backup the information should be safe... If not you may want to google software that can remove information from your device when it is in this state.
    Hope this helps!

    My macbook air is stuck at the "installing software updated" screen while installing update for the osX. What should I do?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If your Mac has been installing software updates for a long time, Software Update is probably frozen. Hold the Power button until your MacBook Air turns off, and turn it on again. OS X should start up.

  • HT4623 My iPod don't have software update link under general menu? How do you update the latest version

    My iPod don't have software update link under general tab How do you update the latest version?

    To update
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your model allows

    A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via

    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
    A 4G to 6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

  • Hi, my ipod does not have software update and on itunes it says chack for update but says ipod is up to date

    Hi my ipod does not have software update on settings and on itunes it is up to date please give solutions

    Thanks. I have been looking for this information for hours too. You answered my question in your list. I have a 2nd generation iPod Touch and last updated to iOS 4.2.1. Now many of the games are obsolete after being updated. I wish I hadn't updated them now, and I would still have play available. It's sad in this economy that I'll have to purchase a new iPod touch just to play a few simple games. I haven't even had it three years yet. That's what I get for not waiting a few months for the next generation. That's a nice little marketing tactic from Apple .

  • MY IPOD IS STUCK IN RECOVERY MODE. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME FIX THIS

    MY IPOD IS STUCK IN RECOVERY MODE. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME FIX THIS

    Withour knowing whar happens when you try to restore the iPod all I can suggest is:
    - 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 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.

  • Why does my system hang on a blank software update screen after I shut down?

    Why does my system hang on a blank software update screen after I shut down the computer?
    This only happened after my computer attempted to download security update 2013-003 version 1.
    I have an iMac with a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running on OSX 10.7.5.
    I repaired all disk permission, and then verified and fixed the disk.
    My hardware diagnostics program gave all systems a green light.
    After all this, the system still hangs.
    This must be an operating system glitch.
    How do I fix it?
    If you tell me to reload the operating system, then I'll have to go retro with Snow Leopard.
    All subsequent updates were purchased from Apple on the Internet and downloaded.

    Not so. You use the recovery mode to reinstall Lion. Details in Recovery and About OS X Recovery. Also, see Computers using Internet Recovery.
