IPod touch showing unusual things while restore.

I was restoring my iPod touch to ios 6. Suddenly the power went off and my ipod was in update mode. Now it is not showing up in itunes or in Computer. Please tell me what to do. My home button doesn't work and I have tried to use RecBoot which doesn't work either. Please Help. Will leaving the ipod as it is and draining the battery solve the problem. The screen is shown in the image.

Try a hard reset. Hold down sleep/wake and home button for 10 seconds until apple logo appears.
If that dosen't work make it go to recovery mode. To make it go to recovery mode hold down the home and sleep button for 20-25 seconds. When the Apple logo appears let go of sleep button. It should ask you to connect to iTunes.
If these don't work, try another usb port or another USB cable.
If that dosen't work either try other programs or another computer.
All I know so far.

IPod Touch Help: iTunes error while restoring my iPod

So recently, my iPod had an issue where i could only hear my music out of one ear. I went to an Apple Store in Southern FL (where i was on vacation at the time) and they suggested trading it in.
When i got back to my home, i went to another Apple Store in my area and got a new refurbished iPod. Before I went however, I backed my iPod up. So afterwards, I tried to restore my new iPod to my old iPod's settings and it claimed the iPod was too old. So then I updated the iPod and restored it to factory settings. I got the original message again and clicked my old iPod's back-up. The window told me to put in my password and then continue, etc.
However, the iPod started to restore itself when it became incomplete. A window told me that there was an error and that it could not go through. Since that time, I have been re-trying and I have restarted my computer twice and restarted iTunes. Any ideas as to what I can do? Please help.

My iPod touch shows that it is charging but it actually doesn't charge and I've tried to restore/ restart it but the only icon is the charging icon with the battery icon with a bit of red fill and a small lightning icon below it. Can anybody help me?

My iPod touch shows that it is charging but it actually doesn't charge and I've tried to restore/ restart it because the only icon is the charging icon, the one with the battery icon with a bit of red fill and a small lightning icon below it. Can anybody help me and give me solutions before I go to an apple service center?

Place the iPod Touch into DFU mode. This will be similer to what the factory would do to install the iOS onto new iOS devices.
Placing it into DFU mode will allow you to "format" and install the current iOS for that device.
To place your iOS device into DFU mode.
First connect you iOS device to you computer.
Open iTunes if not already open
Now turn off your iOS device using the power swipe.
Press the home and sleep button on your iOS device for 10 seconds.
Release the sleep button but carry on holding down the home button. For another 10 seconds.
Your iOS device should now be on DFU. Click on restore and iTunes will download the lastest iOS for your device.
Hopefully that sorts it if not, you will have to go to a sevice centre or call Apple Care up and get them to collect it and repair it. (replace it)

My iPod Touch shows USB and arrow pointing to iTunes

It's a newer generation that I bought a while back, but i tried to system restore so my little brother couldn't access my vital applications that i had installed previously.
Whilst plugged in, it said that a system update and iTunes update was required. However, neither fully finished. Instead, the iPod touch shows the generic USB cord with an arrow pointing toward the iTunes symbol.
Is there anything that i can do without having to pay for it to be fixed???

First get the latest version (10.6.3 ) of iTunes to install on your computer. See the following if necessary:
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
The connect the iPod and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in DFU mode and restore if necessary.

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.

My ipod touch 5 generation 16gb wont restore on itunes and sometimes it says that an error has accord (4013)

Check USB connections
If there’s an issue with the USB port, cable, dock, or hub, or if the device becomes disconnected during restore, try troubleshooting the USB connection, then troubleshooting your security software.
Common errors: 13, 14, 1600-1629, 1643-1650, 2000-2009, 4000, 4005, 4013, 4014, 4016, “invalid response”, and being prompted to restore again after a restore completes.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use another USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port on your computer.
Try a different dock connector (or no dock).
Add (or remove) a USB hub between your device and computer.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, with no routers, hubs, or switches.
If you see your error after changing your USB connections, continue to the next section to troubleshoot your hardware.
Check for hardware issues
Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.

IPod touch 3rd generation crashed while updating, and now it won't turn on, and it wont charge or be recognized in iTunes; it's been like this for 3 days now. Please help,..Thanks!

iPod touch 3rd generation crashed while updating, and now it won't turn on, and it won't charge or be recognized in iTunes because it's completely dead; it's been dead for 3 days now. I've tried pressing home/sleep buttons for reset but nothing works, I've tried using different usb ports to charge it, but nothing seems to work. Please help asap. ...Thanks!(:

After charging the iPod for half an hour, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:

Ipod touch 4th generation will not restore

My ipod touch 4th generation will not restore. It begain with a random problem with the device. I tried to open a application but the application would blink a few times then would not open. This was so for ALL of the applications. I then powered of my device to try and reboot it. The Apple logo will apear for about 5 seconds but then the sreen will go black and the Apple logo will apear again. I tried to reboot several times and it did not work. I then connected my device to my computer but it would not appear in Itunes. The only way for the device to appear was for me to put it into DFU mode by holding down the home and power button for 10 seconds. My Itouch would have the connect to Itunes on it. It was then reconized by Itunes. Itunes message appeared telling me that i need to restore my Ipod. I tried restoring the Ipod, but after the update downloaded a error would appear while it was going through the restoration proccess.
My Ipod is under the one year warrenty and i also had purchased an extended two year warrenty for my Ipod. I do not know what i should do.

ok i will my friend has my ipod right now but If it doesn't still work ill get the error number tomorrow.

My new ipod touch shows up as a cannon camera.

My new ipod touch shows up as a cannon camera. I cannot upload itunes to it if my windows xp cannot identify.
Every thing was working with ipod shuffle.
Help resolve and use new ipod touch please!

this usually means you either have a screenshot or a saved photo, go to the photos app and make sure that there isn't a section that is titled "Saved Photos" or "Camera Roll" if there is delete the photos from this section by clicking the picture, click it when the photo goes full screen and a menu option should pop up, push the icon that looks like a trash can and press "delete photo". Now the ipod should not show as a camera in windows

Hi
I was having the same problem for ages. I followed a apple advice section telling me to check the processes for apple mobile device manager, and check for the applusb.sys driver, and they were both there and working. I would advise you to do this. If they are not showing, then the article says to re-install itunes. here is the article by the way. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1852
However this did not fix my problem. So I decided to try re-installing the actual driver, instead of the whole of itunes. Try this, as it worked for me
(I don't no how good with computers you are, so I'll put simple steps, sorry if it seems patronising!)
1) Go to start, and Run
2) Type "devmgmt.msc" without speech marks
3) A screen with your computers name at the top, with seperate sections for things like keyboards and moniters should have come up. At the bottom you should see Universal serial bus (usb). Expand it and look for apple ipod, or somthing similar (there's prob only be one by apple) If it's not there make sure your ipod is plugged in!
4) Right click and go to properties
5) Click the 'Driver' tab
6) You should see 'Roll back changes' as an option. Click that and accept/press yes to the prompts that pop up.
7) Wait for a few seconds (may take a min or two) until your back to the previous screen described in step 3
8) Now Under 'portable devices', apple ipod should be listed. Right click that, and choose 'Update driver software' Choose to automatically search.
9) Again wait, and when it's complete Apple iPod should show under universal seriel bus (usb) section again.
10) Exit out of device manager, and open up itunes. Your ipod should now be there. You may need to un plug it and plug it in.
What this effectivly does is re-install the device used to search for iPods by itunes. For some reason, mine and probably yours ran into problems.
Hope you found this helpful, and I'll check back later if you have any problems or questions.

IPod Touch shows plug into iTunes

iPod Touch shows plug into iTunes. I did this, it took 2 hrs. to update then tells me it doesn't see the device to Restore. I see the iPod icon in the left column under devices.

What fixes many problems in programs is to uninstall and reinstall. If you lose all your apps and music, and the problem is not fixed, I give you the right to curse as loud as you want.

Ipod touch showing as camera and not showing in itunes

As I have seen on the community many people are having the same problem as I am. My ipod touch 2nd generation shows up in my computer as a camera (not that it has a camera anyway) but also it will not show up in my itunes library. I have read many of the previous answers and discussions and I have tried uninstalling itunes several times ( all of it itunes, bonjour, quicktime etc ) and reinstalling several times... I have shut down all my firewalls....I have changed start up settings...I even tried trying a secondary comuter thinking it was my computer...but NOTHING has helped this. I have also tried several other programs (such as Wi-Fi Discover ) just so I can try to download some songs for my son but again NOTHING. Can anyone please, please help me. This was a christmas gift for my son and he is so upset that he can not load any songs. Thank you in advance for anyone that can guide me in the right direction.

- You can try placing the iPod in recovery mode to see if iTunes will see it. However, that will render the iPod unusable unless you are able th restore via iTunes. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next you can try DFU mode with the same warning.
