IPod Touch stuck on loading screen

This is somehow FRUSTRATING. My iPod touch (4G)is always stuck on the loading screen whenever i unlock it.
It only happens if i didn't use it for the whole day, and if there's a program are opened. I didn't jailbreak it, and my ipod touch never fall. I tried to restore it. And it didn't help! I just had it for less than a month.
Can anyone help me? Could it be a hardware defect? Can i get replacement from the apple store?

Did you restore to factory defaults/new iPod? If not, try that. If it still occurs then you likely have a hardware problem and an appintment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. If your iPod is within warranty, not abused and effective, Apple will replace it at no cost.

IPod Touch stuck at loading screen after clicking Erase all Content and Settings

I have a 4th generation iPod Touch running iOS 5.0.1 and I recently jailbroke it. I wanted to update to iOS 6 so I went to Settings>Genera>Reset and clicked on Erase all Content and Settings. It is now stuck on the spinning loading screen and its been like this for 3 hours. My homebutton no longer works so I can't put it into DFU mode. I tried to restore in itunes but it won't even connect to itunes and dosn't show up at all. If you have any info, please post. I really don't wanna have to replace my home button or get a new iPod. Thanks

Try the following as much as you can without Home button working. When it says to place the iPod in recovery mode use this program.

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

Ipod Touch Stuck On iTunes Screen. The iPod 'iPod' cannot be restored at this time because the ipod software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.

I got a new ipod touch for Christmas.
Today I was going to put music on it, i was told there was updates.
So I went ahead to do them.
My Ipod is stuck on the screen with the usb cord pointing to the itunes logo.
In Itunes i'm told :
Itunes has dected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used with itunes.
Turning the ipod off - the same screen appears when it's back on.
When I click restore ipod and after restore and update is clicked ; Extracting software loads up at the top.
When its done this is the message I get:
The iPod 'iPod' cannot be restored at this time because the ipod software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.
I've been looking up trying to figure it out myself and have read making sure a setting in Lan Settings in Internet Properties has ; Automatically detect settings checked. I still get the same ipod message.
I've tried holding the power and home key to turn it off, then powering it back on. But that doesn't work.
I installed itunes today, so its up to date - I checked.
I don't know what else to do.
Can someone help me out, please? :}
The operating system was ios 5 something? It wanted to update to 6 i believe.

I've tried the top part but now that i've looked to the bottom:
Additional Information
The “hosts” file may also be blocking gs.apple.com.
Select the hosts file (normally you can find your hosts file at C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC).
I put this in the url bar?
When it gives me the list of names, im not sure what to do from there. The steps aren't that clear for me.

IPod Touch Stuck on loading spinner

So, today I updated from iPod Touch software v1.1.1 to v1.1.2.
All went well until the iPod restarted. After that, it went to the home screen. Then the loading spinner came up in the middle of the screen. I figured nothing was wrong, so I waited until it was done. Once it finished, an  took its place, but then promptly disappeared and the loading spinner was back. This cycle just keeps repeating. I have run the "Restore" in iTunes twice now, and the same thing keeps happening. To add to all of that, the iPod won't turn off either. Any suggestions?
Sorry if there is already a topic for this, but there are so many "help me" topics that I could not read them all.

Hi Juxe
did you jailbreak your iPod touch? i am just asking since I've experienced a very similar problem when updating mine to 1.1.2 - mine was jailbroken. still I decided to update , which went fine up to the report were i got stuck with an endless reboot cycle.
I've downloaded 1.1.1 and placed it into user/itunes/iPod Software Updates
then I went over to iTunes and cmd clicked on restore. Itunes will ask you if you'd like to backup your stuff prior the restore. first time i tried it I accepted. this unfortunately did not fix the issue for me. therefore the 2nd time I restored I declined the backup. once the restore was done iTunes asked me if I'd like to revered to the backup which i declined. it restarted the iPod touch and presto all is back to working order.
Since then I am back on 1.1.1 and all is fine.

- It is unclear if you manually placed the iPod in recovery mode. Try again using:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Then connect to computer and try to restore.
- Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore.

- If you can't get the iPod in recovery mode or DFU mode because you can't turn it off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour, try a reset, restore, placing in recovery mode and DFU mode and restoring.

... have tried everything to restart my ipod touch. stuck on that screen with the apple logo

My Ipod Touch suddenly stopped working. It hadtrouble starting up – then suddenly turned on after a few minutes of pushingthe start button. The next time I turned it off, it never started back up. Symptoms:
It is stuck on the apple logo screen (with thecircle of moving bars – as if it is waiting or doing something) and never moveson from this.
When I plug it in and try to restore it:
Whensyncing with my back-up, I get the error: ITunes could not restore it becausean error occurred
WhenI set up a new Ipod, everything downloads. (apps, music etc)
It looks like it is fixed, butwhen I unplug it and try to get it to work, it is still stuck in the apple logoscreen – same as above.
I have also updated all of the software. Still - no go!
When it is plugged in to mycomputer, I am able to play music and see the items in the ipod. Through this,I have even updated my software. This all works .. but that screen with theapple logo does not go away and I just cannot access it manually through the touchscreen or ipod buttons.
Who can help me?

Did you also try to connect in recovery mode? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

IOS PS Touch stuck on load screen.

I tried to save a small project (1 layer, 3 filters) and it's now stuck on the blue loading screen with the PS Touch logo. I've deleted the app & re-downloaded it, but it's made no difference. Any ideas ? Thanks

Could you try to retrieve your PSTouch project files with this tool...
http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/
See the attached image. I marked the PS Touch files with a red rectangle.
Try to reboot PS Touch afterwards. If you still see this issue possibly a re-install would help.
You can restore your PSTouch files with the same tool or just add them to the https://creative.adobe.com
and download from there.
Hope that helps.

Ipod Touch stuck on black screen

I was trying to restore my ipod touch but something happened and it's stuck on a black screen. Itunes cannot recognize it so I can't restore it.ALSO my HOME BUTTON IS BROKEN so I can't hold the home button and power button.....anybody know how to get my ipod working again..?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Neglect the reset
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use one of these programs:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod Touch Stuck on Apple Screen and iTunes won't recognize

I was resetting my ipod touch to clean it off to give to my sister. I thought it was plugged in, but turns out it was not, so the battery died while it was resetting itself. Now it is stuck on the apple screen. I have tried everything to reboot it and get iTunes to recognize the device, but nothing has worked. I had my computer cleaned, so iTunes is brand new and has never been hooked up to this iPod Touch. I need help please!!

TRy placing the iPod in DFU mode and then restoring. See:

Ipod touch stuck on charging screen

I have an ipod touch that will not turn on. I am not sure what software version it is running because I cannot check it. I bought it for my niece and it has been stuck like this for some months now. I am just getting the opportunity to get home and check it.
Here is what is happening:
1. Stuck on the screen with a charging icon (plugged it in to several power sources and it still will not turn on)
2. Plugged it into itunes and it is not being recognized (Tried to put it in DFU mode. Software downloaded but it does not complete the process. I get an error 2001 error) (did this by holding the power key for 10 seconds, then the home key for 10 seconds simultaneously, then let go of power button until I seen an option to restore)
3. I am using itunes 10.5.1
I have checked several forums and people suggest the restore, and I have attempted this several times. Reset my MacBook Pro which has software version 10.6.8. Any other suggestions?

Thank you for taking out the time to write any suggestions. I looked to the link, but still no success. I have tried to do the restore on 3 different computers (deskstop, Macbook Pro, Laptop). Still no success. In fact, I am also getting an error 1602. When the device is not plugged in, it does not come on at all. As stated, I have attempted to plug it in to numerous power sources.
I have done the restore countless times prior to the issue on other iDevices so I am pretty sure that I am doing it properly. The device will not reboot at all. I have held both buttons for countless minutes and no action is happening. The only time anything happens on the device is when it is plugged in. I get a battery signal and no matter how long it stays plugged in, it does not turn on or show an increase in the battery.

Ipod touch stuck on white screen

I have an ipod touch the new kind. I went to update my ipod in general then settings because it said i should update it for some reason and now ever since then my ipod randomly stopped working. When i hold the top button and the centre button it shows the apple but once the apple goes away it shows the screen go kind of fuzzy, changing colours then goes to white. When i don't hold the top button or the centre button my ipod just stays on the white screen. It also won't connect to my computer. It says it's charging but it won't show up on itunes or anything at all. I would LOVE some advice or help on this. Please!

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore...
Restart / Reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the iPod Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the iPod On...
If that does not help... See Here:

IPod Touch Stuck On Apple Screen After Reset

iPod Touch would not show up in iTunes after being connected to the computer so I went through the online walkthrough of common problems, when I reset the ipod it froze on the apple logo and will not respond at all.
Any solutions?

I was having the exact same problem with my Ipod touch, finally I figured out the problem after having tried all of those troubleshooting links, 1st I went into the start menu then right clicked on My Computer, then clicked manage. Then once I got into computer management I clicked on Device Manager, and at the bottom of the page I clicked the on Universal Serial Bus Controllers, it should say apple Mobil device right underneath, once you get there leave this page open. Open up itunes, connect ipod then hold the on/off switch and home button until itunes asks you to restore your ipod. Click restore, and it may say also say update and restore if so click on it. Then while it tries to restore your ipod click back on computer management and keep an eye on the apple mobil device USB port, you should get a warning that pops up next to the mobil device port, if you do double click on the apple mobil device and click reinstall.
Sorry this is so long and drawn out I hope that it helps.
