Ipod touch 4th generation is stuck in "plug into itunes" icon.

I have plugged it in to different cords and ports on computer as well as in the wall with same results. I have try to restore it with the computer saying it is not connected. It will not let me turn off or on but does turn off and on when plugging it in gives my apple icon then back to same itunes icon. I try to put change it to whatever mode with black screen and restore it. I have changed settings on computer. Nothing is working any ideas. My son split a cup of water did not get directly on the ipod but it was on the stand and was sitting in it. Please help. Thank you

Very likely hardware since Apple say:

These errors mean that your device or computer may have a hardware issue that's preventing the update or restore from completing.
Check that your security software and settings aren't preventing your device from communicating with the Apple update server.
Then try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.
Confirm that your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
If you still see the error message when you update or restore, contact Apple support.

    Okay, my Ipod touch 4th generation, Is stuck in recovery mode after trying to restore and update it to the latest software. The restore failed and it's now stuck in Recovery mode. I've tried everything, and it just wont work. It won't even recognise in Itunes. Help?

    I don't know if you will see or get this because issue is old but I thought I'd try anyway.  This is what happened to me.  I don't see any responses, if you don't mind me asking, what ever happened with your ipod?  This is my son's and I don't have a store around the corner so I was curious before I make a trip?

    - 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.

    - Try resetting the iPod.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore the iPod via iTunes
    - If iTunes does not see the iPod try placing the iPod in recovery mode to see if it will make it visible so yu can restore the iPod.  For recovery modes see:

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:

  • My Ipod Touch 4th generation is stuck in the apple logo

    Hello,
    I have an Ipod Touch (4th gen) but it doesn't get past the apple logo and if it does the screen becomes white but it doesn't do anything else. I tried to restore it through ITunes but that doesn't work either (always get an error). It's been like this for a while since everything I've tried so far doesn't work at all.
    Thank you in advance ^^

    Any error messages or numbers given by iTunes?
    If yes, check this article: Resolve iOS update and restore errors
    Also try to connect in recovery mode to restore, explained here: If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    If this does not work, your device has to be checked by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

  • My iTunes keeps clearing all of the music of my iPod Touch 4th Generation randomly when I plug it in, then starts syncing it back up. Why?

    So my iPod Touch has been cleared twice now and I'm beginning to become annoyed. I plug it in and iTunes recognizes it, and then goes through the steps of syncing. Once it gets to steps 5 or 6 it gets stuck. It'll just keep spinning or cycling through over and over again. It doesn't freeze up, just gets stuck. Now if I hit cancel it doesn't clear off my iPod and it seems to complete the sync, but if I leave it or if I click the drpdown arrow and see what's being synced into the playlist; Then the iPod clears off all my music and I have to sync all 4550 tracks back onto my iPod.

    and i went through all the steps but i dont have any disk that step 3 asks for i bought it off of a friend and ive tried it on 2 computers alredy and the same message appears... on my other ipod touch 2g it works fine so i dont think its the usb port any ideas?

  • I just got an iPod touch 4th generation. When I plug the USB into the computer, the iPod does not recognize the charge and the computer/iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod. Please help.

    The computer I am referring to is a Windows. However, when I use the same USB cord and plug it into a MacBook Pro, the ipod is recognized and the ipod recognizes the computer. Also, it gets charge from the Wall outlet as well.

    empire_of_the_sun, the link you provided ois for other model iPods, not the iPod touch. You article refers you to:
