Ipod touch stuck in USB- Itunes screen

I just got this iPod from my sister for school. So I was downloading Itunes and I was putting some pictures on it. Then the next time I tried to connect it to my computer it kept saying something like "iPod could not be connected to computer please reset settings" so I hit restore in Itunes. The a get a message like this "Your iPod could not be restored." I look at my iPod and notice that it has the itunes logo with a usb cord pointing towards it, and that's it. Mind you, my iPod was plugged into the computer the whole time and it said it recognized my ipod before the update, but now, it doesn't. So basically, I just have a piece of **** ipod that will not work. Awesome. My itunes library is working great, and I even downloaded the latest version (I think it was 10.6.1) but I had already 10.6 before I did any of this, since I just recently downloaded itunes to my laptop. So my itunes is up to date. Itunes will not recognize the iPod at all, but when I plug the usb cord, my laptop makes a noise and that's about it. My computer does not show up any device being plugged in, so nothing recognizes the ipod. I've already scanned through most of the discussion and cannot find a solution. I've already tried the DFU method, which I can't even do that since the screen stays the same, no matter what. It's basically stuck on the itunes/usb screen. If I hold the power button down, it will make the screen go black, but then it will start back up if I press it again, so it's like not even shutting down. I've been to:

And yet, my device still will not work. It is stuck on that screen, my laptop won't recoginze the device, iTunes won't recognize the device, and I'm out school resource... So yeah, help???

Unless iTunes sees the iPod when connected on another computer, it is time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I do not know of anything else to try.

IPod touch stuck on USB connect screen but not recognized by iTunes

I downloaded the update for my iPod via iTunes but when the update attempted to install on the iPod, I received a message that the update failed. Now, my iPod is stuck on the USB connect screen (with the image of a cord below an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo). Every other thread says to connect to iTunes and attempt to reset the device (off and home button for several seconds) so I can restore it through iTunes, but even if I do that, it fails to connect to iTunes. Last time I had problems connecting to iTunes I downloaded the update through the iPod itself but seeing as I can't get off the USB connect screen, downloading it from the iPod is impossible. How can I get my iPod working again? Either getting it off the frozen screen so I can download the update, or getting my computer to recognize it so I can restore? Last time it wouldn't connect to iTunes (when it wasn't frozen) the computer still recognized it but now it does not. (I'm on a Windows 8 laptop)

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

- 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 another cable
- 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.

My iPhone 4 is stuck on USB/iTunes screen. Please help!

I tried updating my iPhone 4 via iTunes and received a error message and now my phone screen is stuck on the USB/iTunes screen. I have tried plugging, unplugging, starting, restarting, now iTunes doesn't even recognize the device. Please Help!

Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer, hold both Home and Power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, then release the Power button, keep holding the Home button, for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Then click the Restore button of iTunes.
If any Error Messages are given, write then down so you can look up the cause and solution.
If you still have Warranty or AppleCare, you may have to take to Apple for resolution. Make Genius Reservation for shorter wait time.

Ipod touch stuck on computer connection screen

My ipod touch is showing the connection screen but it's not connected to the computer. I restarted and did a factory restore and it still shows the connection screen. Any suggestions?

Did the iPod successfully complete the restore?
How did you restart the iPod since you have to connect the iPod to a computer before you can restart an iPod.

Ipod stuck on "Usb -- iTunes" screen on my ipod.

I attempted installing the iPod Touch 2.2 Update and it gave me an error, and now my ipod is stuck with the screen of a USB cable with an arrow pointing up to iTunes.
I've unplugged and replugged it into my laptop, I've even powered down my iPod and unplugged it, only to have the same screen when turning it back on. iTunes is no longer detecting my ipod either.

Hi Kangarew,
The iPod is in recovery mode, which is described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Try the tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1852
You will be able to restore the iPod when the its recognized correctly.

Ipod stuck on usb/itunes screen but won't connect to anything

My ipod touch is stuck on a screen with a picture of a usb plug and says itunes store. It will not connect to the itunes store and I have tried restarting with menu and power key.

UPDATE: It finally decided to start working again, but it's been rather wonky for quite some time now. I'm not at all happy, especially considering I can't afford a new one.

Update failed Ipod Touch locked on USB Connetion screen

32 GB iPod touch failed to update to lates software. All I get on the iPod screen is the iTunes logo with the USB cord. Tried to reset by holding down "Home" button and Power button. Screen starts with apple logo for 4 seconds, flashes white, then goes back to apple logo. When released comes backup with iTunes logo and USB cord on screen again.
Any Suggestions?

So you tried recovery mode using the exact instructions in the Apple support document above?
How about connecting the device to iTunes in DFU mode?

IPod touch stuck on low battery screen

I have had an ipod touch for a year now, and whenever I used to charge it, it took 2 minutes to charge fully and used to last 5 minutes. Now, I haven't charged it for a month because my charger broke. Now when I link it up via USB to my PC, it has a red battery sign on the screen with a thunder sign underneath it, and it stays stuck on this screen. Another problem is that the laptop that it is synced with is broken. How do I fix this problem - resetting the iPod? Getting a new charger? Replacing the battery? Help would be appreciated. Thanks

it sound like you may need a new battery if its not holding charge .

IPod Touch stuck on Apple Logo Screen

Today, I spilled some water on my iPod touch, but I dried it up right away. Now, however, the iPod is stuck on the apple logo. I've tried holding down the lock and home buttons and the screen will go black and then the apple logo appears again, but it won't go any farther than that. I plugged it into my computer to restore it, but my computer won't recognize it.
Did I kill my iPod, or is there anything I can do? It's less than a year old, so it's still under warranty, but is there any point in bringing it in?

my ipod touch is doing the same thing. it is so frustrating because it is frozen on the apple screen with two lines and won't respond to the computer and sometimes it will go to a screeen we pink vertical lines with the apple screen in the background. i called apple yesterday and they made me wait a day but nothing happened. any advice?

My ipod is stuck plug into itunes screen, what do i do?

IPod touch stuck on iCloud Backup screen

Every so often a pop up tells me that I haven't back up my iPod in __ weeks. I don't get to connect it to a computer that often, so that's why.
It popped up today and I clicked OK so it would go away. But when I went to get on my iPod later, it was still there. It's there along with 'slide to unlock' , which I cannot do.I also can't power it down like I normally do. I read online that to fix this you'd have to hold both the top button and the home button at the same time to turn if off. My home button does not work and I've been using assistive touch. I've tried fixing my home button, but nothing has worked.
So my question is how do I fix this? I can't restart it. Should I just wait until it's out of juice and powers down by itself?

You can try:
- Connecting it to your computer and backup and restore via iTunes
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Let the battery drain as you said.

Hello jose mariofromsan luis potosi,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are saying that your iOS devices are not showing up in iTunes on your Windows computer, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
On the other hand, if you are saying that your devices are only showing a Connect To iTunes icon screen, then this article may be more useful:
