Ipod suddenly in recovery mode, No Itunes

Hi guys
I´m traveling throughout South America, Currently in Argentina.
Today my Ipod touch´s battery drained, but unlike previous times, when i connected the charger, the itunes shows the Connect to Ites logo.
I'm on the road, using Internet Cafe and Hostels's computers, don't have the option of intalling Itunes.
Is there any way of getting my Ipod back in working mode, even without restoring my music, just atleast get WiFi, or m i stuck like this untill i can get my hands on Itunes and enough times to restore it.
Thanks,
Carmel

It's crazy that you still received notifications. Just had a similar thing today: I entered an event in the Calender, set it down, and when I picked it up 2 seconds later to check one more thing it wouldn't turn on.
Held both buttons to reset and it wanted iTunes. That's a mighty hard crash. Not confidence inspiring.
(Works now after a restore, but I only sync every few days and I lost quite a bit of data.)
I wonder if there is/was a way out of this bizarre state without restoring.

  • Ipod Classic in recovery mode freezes itunes

    My 160gb 2009 ipod classic wasn't being recognized in itunes. I did everything and it wouldn't work. It was working perfectly fine other than that. And when it was plugged in, it was charging, etc.
    I closed itunes, put it into recovery mode while it was plugged in and kept holding the Mend/select button. Itunes recognized it in recovery mode. Then after I click restore, it says it is preparing it, then after that, it just freezes with the rainbow wheel.
    One time it did get to the next point where the software is being download, but it froze right before it finished.
    The last time I unplugged it after it froze it says "You must use FireWire to restore ipod". This can't be true can it? I've never even heard of firewire for ipods.
    Any ideas what to do here? I really want to be able to fix this.
    Thanks guys.

    *update. I got it to restore on a windows laptop my girlfriend has. Now when I plug it into my mac, the "Ipod" disc shows up but it still won't show up in itunes and it freezes when I try to eject the ipod disc...

  • How to get my iPod out of recovery mode when itunes won't restore it

    My iPod touch is in recovery mode and will not exit it, i've tried clicking the home button and lock button in the stated order on youtube etc but it has not worked. I clicked restore on iTunes and it downloads it all and updates but then does nothing and gives me the option to restore it all over again. I honestly have no clue what to do about it.

    Loop
    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.

  • ITunes says mu iPod is in recovery mode and i need to restore it, but when I click the "restore" it doesn't load and my summary says "n/a" for everything. Why is this/

    The "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode, use iTunes to restore it" message keeps popping up over and over

    First, in iTunes, launch Preferences and go to the Devices tab. Check the date and time of the last backup. If it is recent you can restore it. However, if you mean you have the photos back in your Camera Roll then the backup was already restored. To get your music and apps back it should just be necessary to click "Sync".

    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server

  • HT4623 I am having trouble with my iPod 5th gen after iOS update. It's in recovery mode and iTunes keeps timing out when I try to restore it. What should I do???

    I am having trouble with my iPod 5th gen after iOS update. It's in recovery mode and iTunes keeps timing out when I try to restore it. What should I do??? If possible, I would also like to keep all of my data.

    Maybe this will help:
    Troubleshooting
    As with all clickwheel iPods, you can reset this iPod by first toggling the hold switch on and off and then simultaneously pressing the select (center) and menu buttons for approximately 5-10 seconds. This is a common fix should your iPod behave unexpectedly or lock up. Once reset, the iPod should display an Apple logo for a few seconds before showing the main menu. This procedure is similar to rebooting a computer and damages none of your music or data.

  • ITunes says my new IPod is in Recovery Mode

    But when I connect it to any other computer, it works fine.

  • Itunes keeps telling me my ipod is in recovery mode

    Help! When I connect my ipod to the computer i am told every time by itunes that my ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored before it can be used with itunes. I have restored my ipod multiple times, reinstalled itunes. Stayed on hold 2 hours with apple support and gave up. Can anyone help me please!

    Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
    Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned.

  • Ipod will not turn on, itunes will not open, window says ipod is in recovery mode and needsto be restored

    ipod will not turn on, itunes will not open, window pops up says ipod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. what do i do now?

    You restore the iPod via iTunes. Don't plug the iPod in. Open up iTunes and then plug it in and then try restoring, if it fails to restore a few times, keep trying. I do it on a daily basis, you're using an Apple product, remember...
    EDIT: Do it from another computer if all else fails.

  • IPod touch 3g stuck in recovery mode, but iTunes doesn't detect it.

    I tried several times to update the software on my ipod, but each time was interrupted by my computer going to sleep (pc, Windows 7).  Now my ipod is stuck in recovery mode, and itunes doesn't detect it at all.  The ipod also won't turn off.  I have tried all the troubleshooting here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 and here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=en_US.  Please, does anyone else have any ideas?  TIA

    Thanks, I'll try it out, and update here.  It might take a little while for the battery to drain without being used.

  • My ipod touch stuck in recovery mode and itunes doesnt reconize ipod what can i  do?

    my ipod stuck in recovery mode itunes dont reconize or show device and i dont have access to orginal computer what can i do to solve this problem

    Try:
    - 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.
