IPod Touch Recovery Mode "Waiting for iPod..." popout sign

Well, I just found out how to do a restore for my iPod touch. Thanks to Ingo2711. But now I have a bigger problem. I get as far as the "waiting for ipod" popout on itunes. On my ipod touch there is a apple logo and an empty loading bar. I've waited over 20 minutes or so and there's still no sign of anything in the loading bar. Can anyone help please? I've tried doing this 5 times and I always get stuck on the "waiting for ipod" popout.. Thanks in advance..

i have the exact same problem. i've been trying many different methods to get it to work and i even tried it on two other computers. it always does the same thing. i need help. -.-

Should I buy iPod Touch 4g or wait for 5g ?

I want to buy an iPod touch but I'm confused that whether I should buy iPod Touch 4g or wait for the 5g to come ? Please help. I would also like to know when is Ipod 5g likely to come ?

No one knows when or if another iPod Touch will be produced. If anyone claims to know they're lying. Besides, speculating about future or unreleased products is against this support site's terms of use.
For what it's worth the iPod Touch is amazing, and I'm sure you will enjoy many years of use. Every day that goes by waiting for a new one is a day you could have been enjoying yours.
Hope this helps you decide!

Are you sure it is 1043? I've never seen that error before. But you can try disabling your security software, connecting the phone to a USB port directly on the computer (not a hub), and trying to restore again.

Ipod Touch Recovery Mode Loop - Error Code 14

I attempted to update my Ipod Touch (3rd Gen 32 GB) to the latest firmware (IOS 5 i think). It froze during the process and has since been stuck in a Recovery Mode loop. I have followed all recommendations on their website, called Apple support and re-installed all Apple related software, and even been to the Genius Bar in our local Apple shop, and it still broken!! They said that as it was out of Warranty (six months) and had a 'Hardware fault' i could buy a replacement for £120. I tried to argue with the shop staff and higher level customer support staff on the phone that my Ipod was working just fine before attempting to update the firmware so how could it be a hardware fault??
Is it just me or the fact that as soon as the one year warranty is up, Apple expect you to replace your faulty item with a new one. So much for good quality goods, can we expect Apple products to last just over a year and then be expected to buy a replacement!!
Isn't the fact that i have been offered a new Ipod Touch 32GB for only £120 pounds an admission that the product has some fault issues??
Anyone else in this position?
Any ideas how to fix the problem?
Anyone else disappointed with Apple Customer Support?

Cannot restore iPod Touch 5g: iTunes "Waiting for iPod"

SIDE NOTE: For a TL:DR, I've made all the important stuff bold.
I've been having this issue with my iPod Touch 5G where I cannot restore it no matter what I do.
This article, This article, This article, nor This article helped me.
When my iPod is not connected to the computer, it literally does nothing at all, no matter what you do. When you plug it into the computer, the computer recognizes it as an iPod, but it says "Serial Number: n/a", and will not display any info. I can tell my iPod detects button presses because I can connect it and disconnect it just by holding in the Power and Home buttons. After plugging it in, the bar at the top of iTunes says "Extracting software", then after that bar fills up it goes to "Waiting for iPod". It then says "Preparing iPod for restore", and then fluctuates between the last two, once or twice. After that, iTunes gets stuck on "Waiting for iPod", and stays there. The iPod, however, displays an apple logo with an empty progress bar beneath it. I took it to an Apple Store not too long ago, and they couldn't fix it. The employee there couldn't do anything more than what I've done. He said that my only option is to get a new one. I still haven't lost hope, though, because there has been two other cases where I've fixed devices where something like this has happened. It's just not working now.
Anyways, please help!
Sincerely, Alex.

- Try another cable
- Try another USB port
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Try on another computer
- Not clear you tried DFU mode and then restore

Security Vulnerability in iPhone 3GS/iPod Touch Recovery Mode

Part of the appeal of the iPhone 3GS and related 2009 iPod Touch models is the built in hardware encryption, but a well-publiced attack (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHdNoKIZUCw) by iPhone Forensics specialist Jonathan Zdziarski means that the encryption can be circumvented by putting the device into Recovery Mode, as there can allow the installation of a custom kernel WITHOUT authentication (Passcode or equivalent) being invoked (http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/07/iphone_encrypti.html#c386843).
There is a rumour that a fix for this missing authentication was included in the iPhoneOS 3.0.1 "SMS" patch, but I can find no documentation that it was included in that patch, nor any other statement as to whether this has been resolved.
I am working with clients who would be interested in replacing aging PocketPC based PDAs with a mix of iPhones and iPod Touches, but would not be interested in buying a platform with such an egregious security design issue unresolved.
Any further information would be welcome.
Thanks!
Bill

New ipod touch recovery mode

I just connected my new iPod but I cant do anything because it says that it is in recovery mode and I am not sure what to do.

Try RecBoot to get it out of recovery mode. If that does not work, just go restore it.

Should I buy an iPod touch 5g or wait for the iPod touch 6g

Hey HaithamElloumi, If your sitting on the fence, why not wait till this fall-- All other iPods where released in the fall of 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012. Will Apple continue this trend and release an iPod 6, this fall? I don't know. You'll have to hurry up and wait with the rest of us! In the world of personal electronics the iPod 5 has been around for 2 years, that's a long time, but the decision to buy is yours, and yours alone. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

IPod Touch stuck in recovery mode and not detected in iTunes

I was trying to update my iPod Touch (currently 3.1.3), so I downloaded the 4.3.3 firmware (I didn't want to download the 4.3.5) and connected my iPod to my computer, opened iTunes and hit Shift+Restore. Then, I chose the 4.3.3 firmware and proceeded with the restore.
However, the following appears:
Error 1602
I pressed OK and the restore process stopped. But, my iPod is stuck in recovery mode. Every time I reboot it, the recovery mode shows up. It's also not detected in iTunes although my computer recognize it as iPod Touch Recovery Mode.
Please help me solve this. I can't use my iPod.

Error 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
Also, when updating/restoring an iDevice, iTunes contactact the Apple sever to verify that you have the latest iOS version. If not, it will not allow an install if an earlier version.
