Ipod stuck on "Usb -- iTunes" screen on my ipod.

I attempted installing the iPod Touch 2.2 Update and it gave me an error, and now my ipod is stuck with the screen of a USB cable with an arrow pointing up to iTunes.
I've unplugged and replugged it into my laptop, I've even powered down my iPod and unplugged it, only to have the same screen when turning it back on. iTunes is no longer detecting my ipod either.

Hi Kangarew,
The iPod is in recovery mode, which is described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

You will be able to restore the iPod when the its recognized correctly.

  • My iPhone 4 is stuck on USB/iTunes screen. Please help!

    I tried updating my iPhone 4 via iTunes and received a error message and now my phone screen is stuck on the USB/iTunes screen. I have tried plugging, unplugging, starting, restarting, now iTunes doesn't even recognize the device. Please Help!

    Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer, hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, then release the Power button, keep holding the Home button, for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Then click the Restore button of iTunes.
    If any Error Messages are given, write then down so you can look up the cause and solution.
    If you still have Warranty or AppleCare, you may have to take to Apple for resolution. Make Genius Reservation for shorter wait time.

  • Ipod touch stuck in USB- Itunes screen

    I just got this iPod from my sister for school. So I was downloading Itunes and I was putting some pictures on it. Then the next time I tried to connect it to my computer it kept saying something like "iPod could not be connected to computer please reset settings" so I hit restore in Itunes. The a get a message like this "Your iPod could not be restored." I look at my iPod and notice that it has the itunes logo with a usb cord pointing towards it, and that's it. Mind you, my iPod was plugged into the computer the whole time and it said it recognized my ipod before the update, but now, it doesn't. So basically, I just have a piece of **** ipod that will not work. Awesome. My itunes library is working great, and I even downloaded the latest version (I think it was 10.6.1) but I had already 10.6 before I did any of this, since I just recently downloaded itunes to my laptop. So my itunes is up to date. Itunes will not recognize the iPod at all, but when I plug the usb cord, my laptop makes a noise and that's about it. My computer does not show up any device being plugged in, so nothing recognizes the ipod. I've already scanned through most of the discussion and cannot find a solution. I've already tried the DFU method, which I can't even do that since the screen stays the same, no matter what. It's basically stuck on the itunes/usb screen. If I hold the power button down, it will make the screen go black, but then it will start back up if I press it again, so it's like not even shutting down. I've been to:

    And yet, my device still will not work. It is stuck on that screen, my laptop won't recoginze the device, iTunes won't recognize the device, and I'm out school resource... So yeah, help???

    Unless iTunes sees the iPod when connected on another computer, it is time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I do not know of anything else to try.

  • Ipod stuck on usb/itunes screen but won't connect to anything

    My ipod touch is stuck on a screen with a picture of a usb plug and says itunes store.  It will not connect to the itunes store and I have tried restarting with menu and power key.

    UPDATE: It finally decided to start working again, but it's been rather wonky for quite some time now. I'm not at all happy, especially considering I can't afford a new one.

    Hello jose mariofromsan luis potosi,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are saying that your iOS devices are not showing up in iTunes on your Windows computer, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
    On the other hand, if you are saying that your devices are only showing a Connect To iTunes icon screen, then this article may be more useful:

    - Try another cable

  • Ipad lock in usb Itunes screen

    My first generation Ipad is locked on a usb-itunes screen. It went here during a restore because battery wouldnt charge. I have followed all of the advice on how to restore. It will not get me to the power off slide bar when i hold down the screen. I have tried rebooting it multiple time no help. Also Itunes will not pick it up. Neither will my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • IPod touch stuck on USB connect screen but not recognized by iTunes

    I downloaded the update for my iPod via iTunes but when the update attempted to install on the iPod, I received a message that the update failed. Now, my iPod is stuck on the USB connect screen (with the image of a cord below an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo). Every other thread says to connect to iTunes and attempt to reset the device (off and home button for several seconds) so I can restore it through iTunes, but even if I do that, it fails to connect to iTunes. Last time I had problems connecting to iTunes I downloaded the update through the iPod itself but seeing as I can't get off the USB connect screen, downloading it from the iPod is impossible. How can I get my iPod working again? Either getting it off the frozen screen so I can download the update, or getting my computer to recognize it so I can restore? Last time it wouldn't connect to iTunes (when it wasn't frozen) the computer still recognized it but now it does not. (I'm on a Windows 8 laptop)
