Ipod touch keeps resetting

i have an ipod touch 8gb second generation. When i connect it to my computer or charge it, it stays on the apple logo and makes a connecting sound every 20-30 seconds but it doesn't actually connect. The computer recognizes when it is connected but all the button are phased out, as in you can't click restore or update.
One time it did finally boot up but all the free or paid for apps wouldn't work. Then when i connected to the computer again it starts the never ending resetting thing again. What is wrong?

If you mean the Device continually Restarts...  See Here...

  • IPod touch keeps resetting itself

    Hi I recently received an iPod touch replacement for my old one that broke. The new one is 3rd generation, which I upgraded to 4th generation just earlier. The problem is when Im using my ipod it is very unstable and resets itself automatically. How can i stop this from happening because every time it resets I need to restore it via the computer. Please help me

    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.

  • My iPod Touch keeps disabling my passcode.  I have typed the correct passcode but it won't accept it.

    My iPOD touch keeps disabling my passcode.  I have typed the correct passcode but it won't take.  It took it numerous times earlier in the day.

    Maybe at one point, you may have miss typed the code when setting up the code. You'll have to factory reset your iTouch.
    Try restoring in Recovery Mode:
    iClarified - iPhone - How to Put an iPhone Into Recovery Mode
    If unsuccessful, try DFU mode:
    iClarified - iPhone - How to Put an iPhone Into DFU Mode
    After fully restored, set up with one of your back ups:

    Or set as new iPod:

    Hope this helps.

    Hi pwrhuskers,
    Try Resetting Network Settings on the iPhone, go to Settings> General> Reset> Reset Network Settings.
    What type of wireless router are you using? What type of security is being used and how many characters are in the network key?
    If you are using WEP, you'll want to use a 5 or 13 character key as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1344

    Hi paul.lisa,
    Then when you press down on one of those icons (on the actual Home screen), and all the icons start to wiggle, a small black "x" should show up in the upper left-hand corner:

  • HT1695 i bought a used ipod touch and reset it to the factory settings via itunes and now i'm trying to set it up like new and it won't let me sign in with an apple id it says it can't connect to the server.  Other wireless devices are working HELP?!

    I am trying to set up  my daughters ipod touch after resetting it to factory settings.  So I am trying to sign in using an apple id.  It says won't connect to the servier, but I have other wireless devices connected, so I know my wi fi is working. What now? Thanks

    Return it and get a refund. Without the prior owner's Apple ID and password that device is useless. Find My iPhone Activation Lock- Removing a device from a previous owner’s account. You were screwed by the ignorance of the pawn shop owner.

  • Ipod Touch keeps crashing, now wont open at all.

    I got my ipod touch a little under a year ago, and soon after getting it i noticed that the music would randomly stop and go to the homepage. It wasn't that bad because the music would always come back up, and it didn't happen that often. But then it started getting more and more often. Recently it started taking two or three times to get music to open, and now it crashed last night, and even after two hours of nothing but trying to open it, it still wont open. I'm getting a new ipod soon, but i wanted to know if there was any quick fix.

    This is kinda weird... My iPod touch keeps crashing although I got os 3.1.3.
    It always crashes while tring to play chalkboard stunts.
    I got a second generation iPod touch. Any help would be very helpful.
