TS1702 Ipod Touch, V2. Hangs on start-up, from the reboot, does not go beyond the apple logo. Not recognized in ITunes. I'd know I need to restore, but how do I get it recognized in ITunes?

My IPod Touch hangs on startup, doesn't go beyond the apple logo. Tried the reboot, doesn't help.
I'm thinking I need to restore the system, but it isn't recognized in ITunes either.
How do I force it to be recognized?

- See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow the restore.
- Next try DFU mode

- If you can't fully turn the iPod off, then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.

IPod touch 4g hanged. what to do???

i have an ipod touch 4g. when i connected it to my laptop, an apple sign appeared on the screen with a loading sign. the ipod is not working since then. and i am not able to restore it too. what should i do??

Try a hard reset of the iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If still no luck, try to manually place the iPod in recovery mode and restoring it. See this article for instructions on getting your iPod into recovery mode.

Upgrade for 7.7.1.11 caused iPod Touch to hang in recovery mode.

Can anyone offer any tips on recoverying my iPod Touch from this issue?
I have searched and found the articles on "holding the power and home buttons at the same time, then using iTunes restore", but iTunes WILL NOT RESTORE the iTouch! If fails with this error: The iPod "iPod" can not be restored. An unknown error occurred (6)."
I cannot get windows to recognize the connection either.
That will learn me...never trust update buttons, without checking for problem issues first!
Please some iPod Touch/iTunes guru reply.
Thanks,
nitefisher

I found the answer on an older post that was posted on the iTouch group.
Use another computer with iTunes to recover/restore the iTouch from recovery mode.
I guess being a newbie put me at a disadvantage.
Thanks for the answer and opportunity to post.

Ipod touch is hanged

ipod touch is hanged

Try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Of not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod off let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod touch restore hangs

How do I get my ipod touch to restore. When I hit restore, it just says "Preapring ipod for restore". Then 10 minutes pass and nothing happens. The touch got messed up when I upgraded to iTunes 10.0.1 and iTunes told me it was "Over capacity".
thanks

1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the the iPod touch to turn off.
* If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the touch. When you reconnect the USB cable to the touch, the device should power on.
Note: If you see an image of an empty battery with socket to lightening bolt symbol, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure the battery has some charge and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When a screen with a Usb cord pointing the iTunes symbol appears you can release the Home button.
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see alert text: "iTunes has detected an touch in recovery mode..."
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see [this article|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1495] and its related links.

Current Gen 2 iPod Touch on new Macbook Pro - will restore work?

I backed up my ipod touch on the new macbook pro computer (right clicked on my ipod on the left nav in iTunes).
I want to (1) update my ipod touch from 3.1.2 to the new 4.2 OS and (2) use my new macbook pro from this point forward.
My question, if I do a restore and select the backup, will all my apps (and app data), safari bookmarks and all info on my ipod touch be restored properly? I am scared that I will lose all my information.
I previously synced my ipod touch on the older powerbook.
Anyways, your advice is greatly appreciated!!

My ipod touch was initially "connected" with the powerbook. When I did a sync on the powerbook (old computer), a bakup was created. In iTunes, I was able to see a list of my apps on the left column (sync apps) next to the right column, that showed what was on the ipod touch.
On the new computer, macbook pro, after I backup the ipod touch via right clicking the ipod touch on the left left pane.... I do not see my apps show under the sync apps column.
When I check the box to sync apps, under the apps section, i get a message saying, "Are you sure you want to syn apps? All existing apps and their data on the ipod touch will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library". From the looks of it, none of my apps added onto the library of the macbook pro, as the left column, sync apps, is empty.
I noticed too, when i backed up the ipod touch on the powerbook, i saw my apps on the status pane show... and eventually show up on the sync apps column on the left. During the backup to the macbook pro, I didn't see that happen.
Backstory: I got the ipod touch as a present, started using it through my powerbook. I haven't updated it much on the powerbook for a long long time. I got more apps, added bookmarks and used the ipod touch frequently, without really attaching it to the powerbook. Only maybe one time last year to upgrade to 3.1.2 os. Around that time, powerbook was super super slow and having problems.
Sometime spring/summer last year, I got a new powerbook and haven't had a chance to connect the ipod touch to it until now. I had trouble syncing/transferring my ical, iphotos and itunes (between the powerbook and macbook pro)... but eventually added what I needed for the most part, without adding older stuff i didn't need anymore - pretty much manually. i lived with not having my playlist on itunes and redoing my events in ical. luckily, i have a iphoto library manager, so my photos albums are intact the way i'm comfortable managing them.
anyways, i want to update the ipod touch to the latest os 4.something. and start using this macbook pro as the go to computer, as i won't be touching the powerbook much.
I care more for the apps and the apps' data, ipod touch safari bookmarks... photos and music i can redo again, as both are different between the powerbook and macbook pro anyways.
the macbook pro is authorized, as with the older powerbook.
i think the reason apps don't bakup inot the macbook pro, is because it's somehow still associated to the powerbook. the contents on the ipod touch are more current than what is on the macbook pro, as regards to apps and apps info and bookmarks.
Help! Please.

My ipod touch turns off and on all the time i cant charge it because after about 2 minutes it turns off PLEASE HELP!

MY Ipod touch frequently turns on and off please help!!!

Try connecting the iPod to its syncing computer and restoring the iPod.
If you can't restore, see if resetting the iPod will allow a restore:
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.
If that was unsuccessfulm see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Ipod touch bricked after adding ap

I have been using my ipod touch frequently and love the new apps. But I don't like how my ipod crashes when I update apps or get new ones. It has happened several times since 2.0 came out. Yesterday I installed the new ipod touch software update and everything ran well. Then in the evening I tried to install the new free game that apple has a featured app - dots, I think it's called. My ipod froze up completely. I tried everything that I have used in the past to get it started and have had no luck. Here's what I've done:
Reset the ipod touch - many times
Connected it to itunes - every time I disconnect the ipod, itunes picks it up, but when I plug it back in, itunes no longer sees it.
Reset ipod while connected to itunes
Not only is the ipod not picked up in itunes, it crashes itunes completely.
Is this a common problem or do I have a lemon of an ipod that I need to replace? Does anyone have any tricks that I haven't thought of?
I also used disc utility to see if the ipod was showing up there - it isn't.
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately that doesn't solve the problem. The ipod crashes itunes but I can do a force quit and restart itunes with no problem.
I have tried everything I can think of over and over because when something like this happened earlier, I found that if I kept trying, eventually I would get an opportunity to choose restore when the ipod was actually connected. This time, the behavior is very consistent. The only time the ipod shows up in itunes is right after I disconnect it! And if I plug in the ipod while it is on and frozen, it crashes itunes.

I have an ipod touch 4g 32 gb. after a week of use, i noticed that sometimes, after i unlock , the homescreen hangs for about 3-6 seconds.

yes so this hanging issue is not all the time. it happens like almost half the times i unlock.
i tried restoring. initially it was ok. then i downloadded an app from the appstore. after downloading i unlocked my ipod and it hangs.
for sure it will hang at this time.
then it continues to hang
it is not jailbroken
and its not only the homescreen. its just the whole device. during this hanging time no button will work. the touch interface does not work. nothing. after 5 seconds....everything is back to normal ... it is very very annoying
plsss help!!!
i tried
1) reset (with all apps closed and wifi off)
2)reboot
3)restore (also dfu restore)
im currently on ios 5.1.1.
what should i doo???????

IPod Touch is slow and frequently can't be synched

Ever since installing v3.0 software on my 2nd Gen iPod Touch (32GB) it has been slower. Additionally, 90% of the time I try to synch it to my Mac I get errors -- either that the iPod isn't recognized and must be restored, or that there is no file to synch it from.
Also, the iPod frequently gets very hot -- if looking at if from the back, the bottom right of the back surface is usually hot -- I'm assuming this is where the CPU is?
I've tried doing backups and restoring from scratch multiple times. Nothing seems to be working. Any ideas or solutions? Thanks!

take it into the apple store they will eather fix it or replace it.

Ios5 hangs iPod touch

I applied the iOS5 upgrade to my WiFi only iPod touch, and all indicated that it went well.
Then on reboot of the device it wanted some configuration; WiFI connection, "Backup to iCloud?" and "Find my iPod touch".
It is now stuck on the later one, and no mater if I choose yes or no, next won't go anywhere.
The only option I get is on the main button, to "start Over", "erase the device to factory resets".
I did find that when trying this the first time, I got a slew of Emails sent to my registered Apple account address asking for confirmation of the address.
Since I was not on email then, I didn't respond, and now it has locked me out of my Apple account.
(I've done several iterations of revalidating, and it is in a loop!)
It knows my email, and I can validate via responding to validation questions and get logged in, but then it claims to send me a validate email, but never does.
So;
How can I get Apple to unlock my account,
How do I recover the Ipod touch.
Because the iPod setup may be trying to validate teh recovery email, these may be related.
But, OTOH, even if I say do not try to recover lost iPod, it wtill won't progress in setup.
Hints or help please?

I found a solution:

Yes, it worked for me too.
Just some software bug - Argh....

ITunes 9 hanging on "backing up" my iPod Touch

I use: Windows XP + iPod Touch 2nd Gen
This morning I upgraded to iTunes 9 and my iPod to version 3.1.1. Everything went fine.
But iTunes is now hanging on "Backing Up my iPod"...a stripy bar that kinda moves/scrolls is showing. But it never finishes. I have tried stopping and starting the sync. I have tried restarting both iTunes and my computer. It still just hangs on this.
I should also add that my iPod is backed up/synced regularly (several times per day normally) so it's not like it has months of backing up to do and therefore it's taking ages.
Any ideas please? I have left it all day and it's now afternoon LOL!
Thanks very much in advance

Having pretty much the same problem with my 1st Gen iPod Touch. I am getting the beach ball every sync. The odd thing is that the Touch shows that the sync is finished and even in the iTunes top screen, it say that the sync is finished, but the spinning sync wheel, next to the iPod Touch icon on the side-bar, is still there, although not spinning.
When I try to do a force quit, it says that my Touch is still syncing :/
I am running 10.6.1 and iTunes 9
Hehe, did not realize this was a windows section, so I guess it is beach balling on both systems...

Ipod touch hangs on "backing up"

IPod Touch hangs / selects controls when my finger is above the screen 5mm

Hi
16gb touch
Playing songs - some controls fail to respond ie touching the volume slider is erratic. Sometimes playing videos or songs the ipod hangs and no amount of tapping the screen helps. I need to turn off and then on again.
Also sometimes the Ipod is sensitive and controls are selected when my finger is slightly above the screen. They all seem to light up and this eventually leads to a hanging ipod.
Any help would be great.

Ok well heres my opinion:
Its very hard to tell what is "normal" with new tech. Just because somthing is not what you expected doesn't mean there is a hardware/software problem. Im not saying somthing isnt wrong with your iPod however. There is still the chance that it IS a problem with software/hardware. What I would suggest is that you check out a iPod touch at an apple store near you or try out someone elses and see if it is working differently than yours is. Sometimes it more of just somthing you have to get used to rather than a problem.
Most things on the forums such as dead pixels, syncing problems, battery problems, are things that are very easy to say there is definately somthing wrong the ipod itself. But your problem with sensitivity issues may just be that your not quite used to the controls yet.
Just my opinion.
