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.

IPod Touch 5th Gen iOS 6 Updates Screen is Blank (White)

The indicator verifies that I have 15 Updates but my iPod Touch 5th Gen w/ iOS 6 just started showing a blank white screen for the updates screen.
I've tried powering off and back on, resetting (pushing both buttons for 10 seconds), syncing, transferring purchases, and the wifi reset trick, but none of these things makes any difference to the issue.
I saw thousands of posts in various forums that this has been affecting people for over a year. Someone must have found a fix by now that works. This is a new problem to me, but chances are the real fix will work if someone can share it. Any one know? Thanks!

HT201263 iPod touch 4th gen stuck on apple screen after trying to update ios 6

After updating to iOS 7, iPod touch 5th gen randomly partially blue screened and then restarted.

I was using my iPod touch 5th generation to listen to a podcast through the podcast app and searching the ebay app for some stuff and three quarters of the screen turned blue and part of the top of the blue part showed alternating colours of between what was on the screen and blue. Then my iPod restarted (and took a long time at that) and then it was just as if my iPod had restarted. Please help. This is first and only time that this has happened and nothing else was open on my iPod.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

HELP! iPod Touch 5th Gen stuck on reboot.

So here's an anecdote of what happened prior to my iPod before being stuck forever on reboot.
It started out with the fact that I wanted to restore my iPod from a previous backup but in order to do so I had to disable 'Find My iPod'.
I tried but it there was an error of some sort (says it couldn't remove iCloud or something similar along those lines).
So, I logged in onto my iCloud account in order to remove the 'Find My iPod' thing, which then I proceeded to erase the iCloud off the iPod.
But after doing so, it was stuck on a booting screen. I waited around 30 mins or so however things didn't change. So I then proceeded to hold the power button and the home button together to turn it off. When I turned it on again, it successfully managed to go to the lock screen. BUT, a few seconds later or when I unlocked the iPod it will lead to the Apple logo with a loading bar and then proceed being stuck on the rebooting screen.
TL;DR: Tried to backup > had to remove 'Find My Ipod' > Couldn't remove from device itself > Tried to erase 'Find My Ipod' thru Website > Manage to erase but couldn't remove device from account > now device is stuck forever on reboot screen.

IPod Touch 3rd generation stuck on black screen

I was using it and it was fine then an hour later i went to go on it again and it was just a black screen. I tried plugging it into the charger, reseting it and everything. When I plugged it into iTunes an error message popped up saying "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000001)" then I pressed ok and another message popped up saying "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "" because an invalid response was recieved from the device". Does anyone have any suggestions?

Try:
'iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting
iTunes cannot connect to the iPhone because an invalid response received from the device: This error occurs when there are problems communicating through USB. This may be resolved by following the steps for errors 13 or 14, below.
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

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.

IPod touch 3rd gen stuck on white screen and not recognized in iTunes

So basically I dropped my iTouch in water, removed it and left in a bag of rice for 2 weeks and now the screen is a gray/white colorway and won't show up in iTunes. I've tried doing a hard reset but I can't see if that even works or has done anything. Does anybody have any ideas or solutions for me!?

Apple doesn't repair it. If there is no sign of abuse, they replace it with a refurbished unit. The fixed-price for non-warranty replacements can be found here.

Is there a (relatively simple) way to skip tracks with an iPod touch 5th gen using a physical button? I'm aware songs can be skipped on-screen without unlocking the iPod, but I'm looking for a method that doesn't require taking my eyes off the road.

Is there a (relatively simple) way to skip tracks with an iPod touch 5th gen using a physical button? I'm aware songs can be skipped on-screen without unlocking the iPod, but I'm looking for a method that doesn't require taking my eyes off the road while driving. For that reason, I'm also not interested in adding in headphones or additional devices that have the desired button functions. Going both forward and back would be great but I would be pleased just to have a "sight-free" way to go forward.
I've seen some mention here and there about ways to maybe change it so the volume buttons change tracks and holding the volume buttons changes the volume... but I don't know what's involved in that or if its even possible/recommended for a new 5th gen iPod. I think its a great device but its sadly lacking in music oriented functions and features... which is disappointing since music is why most people would bother getting one instead of some other "iDevice" :/

Given that you cannot do what you have asked for, perhaps you simply need to find another solution to your root problem.
Presumably, you want to skip to the next track because you don't want to hear the current one, and that is because...
You don't like it.
You've heard it recently and don't want to hear it now.
Simply don't want to hear it at this time.
For problem number 1. Don't put it on the iPod in the first place. (I know, obvious answer!)
For problem number 2. How about playing from a Smart Playlist (initially created in your iTunes Library) which has only songs you've not played recently?
For problem number 3. Hhhmmm! Create alternative Playlists for use in the car.
As for going back to the start of the "now playing" track.... Well, if your Playlist has only songs that you really, really want to hear, then you'll be looking forward to that rather go back to the beginning of the current song.
I'm not trying to be prescriptive, just giving you food for thought.
(They are all cheaper options than buying a car which can control the iPod from the steering wheel.)
