IPod Touch 4th Gen stuck in "infinite loop"

I updated to iOS 5 and the update went smoothly but when it came to restoring the device from my last back up, the same message has popped up a dozen times.  It starts by saying that the restore was interrupted and asks if I wish to continue the restore.  When I click yes, it gives me the error message (-34).  I have no idea what this error is supposed to mean.  Anyone have any ideas?  I'd like to get my iPod back to what it was.  Majorly frustrating.

Try what you have not yet tried:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

  • IPod Touch 4th gen stuck in reboot loop after attempting to update to iOS 6.1.5

    Hi.
    I have my iPod Touch 4th Gen (iOS 6.1.3)....I plugged it into my computer, it said there was a software update available. I click ok, it goes through all of it's stuff, gets up to Verifying update with Apple, and then I get an error message.
    "The iPod 'iPod Touch 4' could not be restored. It is not eligible for the requested build."
    I know this has something to do with Apple not signing the package, but I got iOS 7.0.4 on my iPhone today and it worked fine.
    Thanks for all of your guys' help,

  • IPod touch 4th gen stuck in connect/disconnect loop, will not charge on desktop PC, but is recognized fine by older laptop?

    I have an iPod 4th gen that up until the week before was connecting and charging fine on my desktop computer (running Windows 7(64-bit)).  Now, when connected to the USB ports on my desktop, it goes into this rapid and unending connect/disconnect loop, never staying connected long enough to even be recognized by the computer.  There is an error message that also says that charging is not supported by the computer, when before, things were fine.  Despite all the problems on the desktop, the iPod is recognized fine by my 5 year old laptop, which is running a simplified version Windows XP.  Halp.  I've tried everything on the iPod support pages regarding this issue, and would really like to avoid calling Apple about this.  Any suggestions?

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen stuck in recovery mode, no error message!

    I have an iPod Touch stuck in recovery mode. It has a picture of a usb cord pointing to the iTunes symbol. When I plug it into a computer it says "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." So i did. After it had finished it came up with that message again! Also I've tried using DFU mode and it didn't work. Suggestions?

    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.

  • Help!! iPod touch (3rd gen) stuck in recovery loop

    Ok, so here is my problem: A couple days ago, something went wrong with my iPod touch because it wouldn't turn on unless it was plugged in and then all it would show is the screen showing that the iPod needs to be connected with iTunes. So I plugged my iPod into my computer and it said that iTunes had detected an iPod in recovery mode and that it would need to be restored. I hit restore and it restored and updated my software just fine. However, when it got to the end of the process and restarted the iPod, the same screen as before came up (iTunes detected a device in recovery mode, I would need to restore it, etc). So I restored it again and again and again, to no avail. I tried letting the battery deplete, them charging it then restoring the iPod and nothing. My iPod touch is 3rd generation and about 1 1/2 years old, if that helps. Please, please help me, I am desperate!!

    I had the exact same problem. And im not joking the exact same!
    To be honest, there is no straight forward answer. I just tampered with mine for about 6 days straight and somehow i fixed it.
    This is just an idea but what you could do is that once you plug your ipod in and it says "detected an ipod in recovery mode", instead of clicking restore, first hold "alt" on your keyboard and then at the same time click restore. This should bring up a window asking which firmware to restore it on. You can download ipod firmwares from this link   http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ 
    Once you have downloaded the firmware restore you ipod on the firmware you just downloaded. Mabey that will work. If not, your on your own mate. I just managed to sort mine out by luck but i tried looking every where on the net i couldnt come up with a solution.

  • Ipod Touch 5th gen stuck in restore mode

    My Ipod Touch 5th gen stuck in restore loop i keep clicking restore and i just keeps downloading the ipod software update, and i wont restore it just keeps saying that a ipod was found in restore mode..... Can someone please help

    The same thing happened to me, while restoring my iPod Touch Generation 5.  I don't know if you are still caught in the same loop but this worked for me.  I am using a MacBook Air running Mountain Lion version 10.8.2.  iTunes is at version 11.0.
    After running through the published Restore procedure without any success I found the Software Update file had downloaded as:
    "/Users/my_home_directory/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/iPod5,1_6.0.1_10A523_Restore.ipsw"
    The ~/Library directory is invisible on my machine, more than likely a design standard.  I used a terminal to first locate the file and then to copy the file to a readable location, my Desktop.
    My iPod was still stuck in Recovery Mode so I plugged it in.  iTunes was already running and identified the Recovery Mode iPod, prompting me to Restore it.  I clicked OK. 
    I held the option key while clicking Restore.  This opened a navitation window that enabled me to select the Software Update .ipsw file I had copied to my Desktop.  The Restore process then ran without any failure and the iPod is now running again. 
    This is not a formal solution as far as I can tell, nor have I verified the procedure across multiple iPods, multiple scenarios, etc.  I just wanted to share it as an "at-your-own-risk" alternative you might want to try. 
    Good luck, cupcakequeen83.

  • Daughter's iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode, won't turn on after I restore it, please help...

    My daughters iPod touch 4th gen is STUCK. Somehow it was disabled because of too many password attempts (my younger daughter was pushing numbers). I connected it to iTunes, did the press and hold power button + home button, then let go of sleep button. iTunes recognized it, gave me the option to restore it and did its thing. Here's the problem, now it won't GET OUT of that mode. After the first attempt, it wouldn't power on after I disconnected it from the computer. So I hooked it up again, and it says its detected an iPod in recovery mode and offers me the same "update & restore" option it did originally. Now what??? Please help. My daughter just got this two weeks ago for her birthday.

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen failed iOS 6.1 update, stuck in recovery mode

    Last night I tried to update my iPod Touch 4th gen to iOS 6.1. The update downloaded from iTunes perfectly fine, but as it was installing I got an error message. Now my iPod is stuck in recovery mode and will not start the recovery process. Both the "Devices and Printers" and "Device Manager" in Windows 7 recognize the iPod as being connected and in recovery mode, but iTunes is not showing the prompt that it detects the iPod in recovery mode. I have tried putting the device into DFU mode, uninstalled and reinstalled both iTunes and the Apple Mobile Device driver, all with no success. I won't be home for about 6 hours, so I can't try connecting it to another computer yet. Can anyone please tell me how to fix it?

    Yeah, just happened to me too. Third time Apple has ****-canned my iPod by updating the iOS. So tired of having to do this over and over everytime Apple releases an update.
    Thanks a ton, Apple! I was just thinking what I could be doing this eveing after a long day at work, now I've got my answer! You guys are just WONDERFUL!
