Itouch froze in "Connect to iTunes" symbol?

My friends were playing with my iTouch then it suddenly froze I pressed the buttons randomly then it turned white and froze there. I left it there for a few hours because I'm at school. I charged it later, after that it showed me the "Connect to iTunes" symbol. I tried connecting it to iTunes. I tried restoring it but it kept on stopping and I kept on trying to restore again and again. Please help me! I don't know what to do!!!

You need to do a DFU (Device Firmware Update) restore.
Instructions for putting your device into DFU Mode: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
Be sure your iPod is plugged in to your computer and iTunes is open before you do this.
Also, this will erase ALL of your data on your iPod.

Itouch froze on "connect to itunes" screen while updating

Itouch froze on "connect to itunes" screen while updating from 5 to 5.01, what to do???

It happen to me several times, I just simply wait until it is out of battery and connect it to my itunes and it will show up in my computer. if the problem cannot be solved in this way, you can connect it to computer after several days of running out of battery and it may work. I know it is a little bit stupid idea,but it did work on my itouch

My iPhone 4 is just showing the apple logo, then it changes to the connect to iTunes symbol, when I connected to the PC and tried to restore and update it shows an error, it seems it cannot recognise the phone, is there anything else I can do to get my phone working again?

Hi serpico656,
When you got the error restoring your iPhone, did it include an error number or description?

I tried to download IOS7 to my Iphone 5. After quite a while, my phone had the symbol to connect to Itunes. I went to our desktop and did this. A message said I had to restore my phone. I clicked on restore. In a short while, I received a message saying my phone couldn't be restored and received error 3194 "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
So how do I fix this? Can you help me?
Thanks

Any error numbers given when you try to restore? Did you try to connect in recovery mode to restore? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

ITouch won't connect to itunes, computer or wall charger.

Hey,
My 2nd Gen iTouch started playing up yesterday, and wouldnt connect to itunes properly, however after a bit of fiddling and wiggling of the USB cord it was fine.
Today? Nothing. Won't even connect to my wall charger, the screen won't even light up when i plug it in. Ive tested all of the cords (we have 3) with my sisters Nano in both the computer and the wall charger, and they all work fine.
Is there something up with the actual connection in my Ipod? What can i do about it?
thanks guys!

However it does, as i just discovered, still connect to my alpine sound system in my car... which unfortunately dosn't charge it (it charged my classic, stupid apple... *grumble grumble*). So its not a loose connection in my ipod... any ideas?

Hi my 32G itouch stuck on connect to itunes screen

hi....i am having issues.....a few weeks back my itouch just acted funny and 'died' i thought it was the battery and put on my dock like anyother time....well, after a time on the dock it went to the 'connect to itunes' screen....i cant get it to do anything!
when i plug it into my laptop with itunes, itunes says it detects an ipod in recovery/restore mode..... so i then have proceeded to restore.....no dice
i hit restore, it does basically all the ldownloading it needs to to, and just before it appeasrs that its going to finish, it says 'restore failed, due to connection time out"
i have tried holding it in my hands and resetting it, ive tried the sleep/home button combo and ive also tried 'hold the buttons, then plug into comp thing'....
can anyone help me? thanks in advance

This should be easy. Disabling the computer's security software during the download and update usually resolves the time out problem.

HT201263 iTouch won't connect to iTunes; recovery mode won't work

My iTouch (fourth generation) was disabled after the incorrect password was input too many times. Now, it says that it needs to connect to iTunes, but when I try to connect it, it tells me to put in the password, which I obviously cannot do because the iTouch is disabled. I tried recovery mode, but it hasn't worked after repeated attempts. What do I do?

Try DFU mode and then restore

Or try using this program to place the iPod in recovery mode

My itouch can't connect to itunes

My itouch is like dead. It won't restart and now it won't connect to itunes.
What do i do???!

Hello there SKiOS,
I was looking into our resources to find information to help the issue you are experiencing and found what I think will be a very helpful article. It's called iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1
Start at step one, and work your way down if needed.
Restart iPhone
To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
Regards,
Sterling
