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.

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

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

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 stuck in settings after dowloading a free app

My ipod touch stucked in Settings after i downloaded instapic free application.
Pushing the big button but it doesnt go back to the menu.
Pushing the button at the back will not switch off the ipod.
I can use everything in Settings though..
Maybe this app got a virus in my ipod?? Really Hope not.. im just waiting for the battery to go off and put it on recharge and see if it works..
Looking forward to hearing from anybody with advices.
Thanks, Barbara

It's not a virus.
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If nothing above helped, delete the instapic app then restart the iPod. You can always re download the app.
No data is lost due to a reset.

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 a cycle between Apple logo and loading sign, recovery mode not working.

I have a 4th generation iPod touch (I think it's 4th gen) and it is stuck in a vicious cycle. It started by just randomly crashing while I was using it (many of the apps were not functioning properly beforehand). It went to the Apple logo for a little while, and then went to a loading sign for a few minutes. Suddenly, the screen flashed white, and appeared to be turned off. Then it turned back on to the black logo, and the cycle began again. i have attempted many times to put it in Recovery mode, but when I hold the Home and Sleep/wake buttons, it "turns off" but only for a few precious seconds before beginning the cycle again.
Another thing, I never downloaded iOS 6 because I didn't want to lose the old YouTube app. That may be a hindrance.
At first I wondered if it could be a virus, but now I don't think so.
I am very sentimental about this iPod, and I have a lot of pictures and high scores on it that I would prefer not to lose, if possible, however, I'd rather lose that than the whole iPod. I will gladly go to the Genius Bar, but I wanted to see if anyone on here could help me out first.
Any ideas on how to get it working normally again?

I helped someone earlier who had the same problem. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3374810?

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.

- 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.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.
