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 If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue.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.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPod Touch 4th gen stuck in recovery mode

My iPod touch would not turn on. I connected to iTunes where it was recognized and has downloaded the latest OS while connected to iTunes. Now it is just stuck with the Apple logo on the screen with the message "waiting for iPod ..." in iTunes. Help

My iPod touch 4th gen. Keeps giving me the error message "cannot connect to the app store when I sign in. I can open the app store and browse it but I can't download anything. I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect.

My iPod touch 4th gen. Keeps giving me the error message "cannot connect to the app store when I sign in. I can open the app store and browse it but I can't download anything. I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect. I turned it off and restarted it 3 times now. I have an iPad 2 and the app store works flawlessly with it. What is going on?

Same here on my lpad2. Can access the web just fine from browsers but cannot install new apps or updates in appl store. Seeing a few others reporting same issue tonight so likely an apple server issue and staff will notice it in network monitors and fix it...sometime this weekend.

Ipod touch(1st gen) stuck in recovery mode and cannot restore??

I just bought a used ipod touch 1st gen. It was fully functional before I wiped it. I wanted to remove all of the other person's music and personal info before I started using it. I also wanted to update ios. I wiped it and when it restarted it was in recovery mode. I have tried to restore it and I keep getting an error message that it could not restore unknown error has occurred (1). I have tried troubleshooting and going through all of the steps that Apple suggests and nothing has worked. Any suggestions? I just want it restored and updated to the latest ios that will work with it (3.1.1 I believe) I don't know what to do at this point.

ERROR (1)

Please help me! iPod Touch 2 gen stuck in recovery mode!!

I need help please! Yesterday, I installed the newest version of iTunes on a new PC with Windows XP, and when I connected my 2nd Gen 8GB iPod it prompted me for the new OS4 update to the iPod. I went ahead and said "yes" and walked away. At some point there was some kind of error and my iPod went into recovery mode. iTunes prompted me to restore. I have tried restoring multiple times always with the process reaching the very end where it's "verifying restore" and I get error message: An unknown error has occured (9). Error 9 helps me in no way. I feel I've tried everything and I can't get this thing out of recovery mode! Please help, I'm just sick over this. I haven't even had my iPod a year and I have loved it. Until yesterday.

IPod Touch 5th Gen stuck in recovery mode loop and unable to restore

Hello,
I attempted to download and update my iPod to IOS 8 wirelessly on the release date Sept. 17. After a few hours of downloading, I plugged my iPod into its charger to allow for the installation to complete. I went out for a few hours that evening and returned to find my iPod touch with the recovery mode image (cord hooking up to iTunes). At first i tried to kick it out of recovery mode by using some 3rd party applications. Every time that happened, it would reset my iPod only to return to the previous image (cord hooking up to iTunes). After this, I gave up trying to just kick it out of recovery mode and just restore it using iTunes. For the last 3 days, I have continuously attempted to restore my iPod but i am never able to successfully download the software. I have received multiple errors regarding "failure to connect to update serves" or "session has timed out". Most of the time,I ca't even get to the Terms and Agreements popup. The window simply says "attempting to connect to update server." In the extremely rare case that I get passed the terms and agreements pop up and begin the download, the approximate wait time always exceeds 80 hours, and then an error is detected shortly after stating the "failure to connect to update serves" and "session has timed out" errors.
I would simply like to be able to restore my device and make it usable so it is not a metal and glass "brick". Any help in this matter is much appreciated. Thanks.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

IPod touch 4th Generation stuck in recovery mode after attempted update

I just want to save the stuff on there before I restore it. I know I'll need to restore at some point but is there any way I can back it up first?

There is no way to backup when the iPod is in recovery mode
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

I am also having the same problem after trying to upgrade yesterday. I have uninstalled ITune and reinstalled and still have the same problem. Do anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem so I can use my IPod?

How can i get my ipod touch 4th gen out of recovery mode if my home button isn't working?

i am not interested in fixing my home button myself. the ipod is 2.5 years old and the home button seems to be pushed in too far so it will not work and i was updating an app when it went into recovery mode. i have tried all of the tutorials on YouTube and none have worked. i tried pressing the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appeared, it did but less than a second later, it went back to the "connect to itunes" screen. please help

The only way to get an iPod out of recovery mode is to connect it to iTunes and restoring to a previous back up. If there is no back up the data will be lost. Hope this helps!

IPod Nano 4th gen stuck in recovery mode

I have an iPod Nano 4th generation that I got from my sister. It worked fine the other day when I got it, and I restored it to my iTunes account with no issues. A day later, I try to turn it on and the screen stays black. I plugged it into my laptop (Windows XP) to restore, and it tells me it needs to be prepared for recovery. I click OK and the iPod beeps 4 times. It goes through the restore process just to do the same thing again. I tried it on another computer (Windows 7) at home and a Mac at work. Nothing works, it just beeps and stays in the recovery loop. I've tried everything I can find online- the 5 R's, changing the drive letter, formatting it, disabling antivirus software, etc. None of it works. I can't even boot the iPod into the diagnostics menu.

My i pod touch 4th gen. is in recovery mode. I am trying to back it up using i tunes but the option for backup is not highlighted. I am at a loss as to what I should do. I do not want to lose all of my pictures. I tried holding down the on/off button with the home button but that does not work. Keeps the touch in the same recovery mode. Suggestions??

No. If the photos are in a backup you made already then you can get them back by restoring from backup.
If they are in your PhotoStream you can get them from your stream. See that topic of:
