IPod touch Stuck during update.

Hi, so i have an iPod touch which had 4.0 firmware on it (I think it was just 4.0, maybe 4.0.1 or whatever) and i was trying to update to 4.1 (It isn't hard, so i assumed there wouldn't be any problems, as i have never had any problems in the past) but this time, there was. When the bar at the top of iTunes got to pretty much the end, just a little bit short of it, and the same with the bar on the iPod itself, it just froze. I think i left it at that point for maybe half an hour or something, and it didn't change atall.
So i thought, no big deal, and restarted it. Same problem again. Since then, in the past couple of days, i have tried about 5 times, and have also read about a DFU mode or something? I tried to use that, but couldn't get into it (well, i dont think i did) but nothing worked.
Currently my iPod is sitting with the connect to iTunes screen, i cant get out of this, and have tried pretty much everything i can find to get out, but none have worked.
Also, i am kinda unsure as to what firmware i am actually now on, (probably none :L)
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, and i am very sorry for the wall of text, but i am getting frustrated, and i never realised how much i actually use my iPod until i cant use it.

Did it get solved..
please reply..
i have the same thing.. help me

First Generation iPod Touch stuck on updating to iOS 3.1.3

I just recenetly finally updated to iOS 3.13 for 4.95 with my first generation iPod Touch. Problem is, that it's stuck on this one screen for what seems to be a few hours. I'm new to this whole iOS thing but can someone explain to me what it is.
Here is a picture of the screen http://i.imgur.com/haeOY.jpg Also when it's connected to the computer it says it's 3.13 for the os.

Based on the responses from Niel and Diavonex, I deleted my response as it did not seem relevant. Did you follow the link that Niel provided?
I will ask my original question, just to make sure - are you certain that you have an iPod 4g and not an iPod 2g. The 2g cannot be updated past 4.2.1, so wanted to make sure about that. But if you are certain, then the best thing you can do is follow the link provided by Niel.
Cheers,

IPad Air Firmware Stuck During Update

my ipad appears stuck during update. It hasn't budged an inch for the past hour. Ive noticed in the firmware updates that it goes through two rounds of installing/loading process... The first round finished quickly and started the next round in the usual orderly fashion but as shown in the image, its now stuck mid-way. I don't want to anything that might turn this into an expensive paperweight.

IPod touch won't update my apps

My ipod touch start to update my apps and then stops. I have completed an ipod update to 6.1.6 and an ipod reset. No change, it will start the update and just stop. Can anyone help me on this matter?

Maybe this:

Next try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign off and sign back in
- Download the updates on computer and sync
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

- 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.

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Ipod touch stuck in recovery mode and will not restore. error code 3194

ipod touch stuck in recovery mode, will not restore and comes up with error code 3194, itunes is up to date, please help

Hi @rchangel - Thanks for the ideas...
Yes - it won't let you install the 32 bit version on a 64 bit machine.
I've had a cursory look at the SP1 release notes, and couldn't spot anything vital - what critical stuff do you know of in SP1?
I don't want to have to go through all the pain of setting up VM's, reinstalling iTunes, getting all my album art back in etc. (though I could, as I do have Win7 pro). I've also heard that running iTunes in Windows 7 compatibility mode might help. Can anyone confirm whether that actually works?
I think it's in Apple's gift to fix this issue, given that they say that they support Windows 7. So far I've had no feedback from a mail I sent to Apple, and the number of users reporting this problem keeps going up and up.
I want Apple to recognise that there is a problem, and then I want them to fix it.

My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and also I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel.

My ipod touch 4g just updates today on itunes and the update caused more trouble than good for me. My ipod will no longer show me the battery percentage in the top right hand corner and I am not allowed to drag other applications to the bottom panel. Also my itunes doesn't allow "enable disk use" anymore. Can anyone help? My ipod now says that it's the 4.3.4 version

- Unjailbroken iPod never showed % battery. Just the icon.
- Unjailbroken iPod Touches never had a disk mode.
- What happens when you try to drag a wiggling app to a empty space in the bottom? Does it move and snap back?

HT4623 My old school iPod touch won't update. Does apple mess it's customers over by not allowing updates for older models of the touch? My last update is Ios5. My touch says its up to date. So has my old school touch reached its pinnacle?

Correct. The 3G iPod does not have the hardware to support an iOS version higher than 5.1.1
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was releases, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

Try:
