IPod Touch 4g stuck in a loop

Ipod Touch 4g stuck in infinite loop?
I accidentally left my iPod touch 4g on all night on an alarm clock app. When I woke up it was stuck on a loop where it goes to the lock screen for 2 seconds and then back to a black screen with an apple on it for 6 seconds. I can not get it out of this loop this sequence flashes back and forth continually until the ipod runs out of battery. I can still sync the iPod and it is still recognized by the computer. I have tried restarting it and turning it off doesn't work. I have even restored the iPod's software and it still doesn't get out of this loop. Please help me!!

Try the recovery mode as a last resort:

  • Help! Ipod touch 5g stuck in recovery loop and cant restore

    Hi. I have an ipod touch only a few weeks old. All was fine, but last week I started to experience dramatic reductions in battery life (flat in 12hrs, even if properly powered off).
    I now have the "connect to itunes" logo on the screen and the ipod is not working.
    Connecting to itunes, it requires a restore, but I am stuck in a loop of downloading, not recognising and then starting again.
    I can see the file (all 900mb of it):
    C:\Users\J\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates\iPod5,1_6.0.1_10A523_Restore.ipsw
    But it just keeps re-downloading everytime I click restore - even though the file is already there. During the download, I think the ipod/itunes connection disconnects and then reconnects as you get a new "ipod in recovery mode warning".
    Considering this file is nearly a gb I am reluctant to try any more. Is there a way I can force it? The ipod is otherwise not working at all now.
    I have turned off my firewall per the advice elsewhere on here.
    Cheers
    James

    Wow. I solved this.
    To force the restore after downloading, but without the downloading again:
    - Disconnect and then reconnect the ipod (important in my case)
    - Hold the shift key and then click "Restore" SUPER SECRET or what!
      - Navigate to the file as per the above.
    Hope the restore happens before the next disconnect (did in my case)!
    Sorted.
    Now I hope my battery lasts better than before - was going flat overnight, even if turned off properly.....

  • IPod touch 2G stuck in boot loop

    My iPod touch 2G 16GB is stuck in a boot loop: I see the apple logo, after a while the screen goes blank, and then the apple logo appears again.
    How can I restore it now? Is there a way to do a "safe boot"? Resetting using hold and home for 10+ seconds yields the same result.
    As for how I got there: an app complained about being "out of space" yesterday and today, but checking the general information stated some 50 MB of free space. Later today Mail.app couldn't move a mail into the trash, and deleting mails in the trash was not possible, either. So I decided to reboot the iPod, and I'm stuck since.

    Many thanks for your help! I had to do it in a slightly different order (press hold and down for 20 secs, once the IPT tunrs off, let go of all buttons, then press home and keep it pressed, then connect to USB, keep home pressed until "connect to iTunes" appears), put your post was what put me on the right track!
    Many thanks again!

  • My iPod touch is stuck in a looping thing.  No matter what I select for a song, it plays over and over again.  Help!

    My iPod Touch is looping on the same song, I can't figure out how to get it out of the looping thing, can anyone help?

    Check to make sure the loop button on the top left that turns blue when you touch it doesnt have a one under it. if it does then press it and that should fix it, if not try holding the home button and the at the top of the itouch for a few seconds until your ipod restarts.

  • My ipod touch gets stuck on the same song, even after I uncheck the loop button.  I am trying to play it in my 2007 vw with a power adapter that allows it to charge and play through my navigation unit. Please help.  Thank you.

    Try switching it back from landscape to vertical. Or, go to settings and see if you have any special setting turned on that enable only landscape view. Also, try hooking it up to your computer and charging it to see what happens.

  • TS2771 help the home button on my ipod touch is stuck

    the circle home button on my ipod touch is stuck. There was trouble charging it but now it will charge just the button is stuck. Does anyone know how to help?

    See this older thread for a few possible ideas.

    Since you are running iOS 5 you can always turn on Assistive Touch as well, which adds a Home button to the iPod's actual touch screen.  Head to Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Assistive Touch to turn it on.
