ITouch Won't Turn On, Connect to iTunes, or Connect to My Computer...
Hi, I recently tried restoring my iPod Touch. After forcing it into DFU mode (Holding down both buttons until the Apple and Cable sign appears)I was not able to continue restoring it with iTunes. iTunes picked up my iPod in DFU mode and says what it normally says, "iTunes has detected and iPod in restore mode. You must restore it for it to work with iTunes", it then brought me to the iPod Touch screen where it has the tabs 'Music', 'Videos', 'Pictures', etc. and where all you can press is Restore. FROM THIS POINT I clicked on My Music by mistake. Now I can't get back to that screen so I can finish restoring. My iPod won't turn on, as in it's completely off, and won't connect to my computer, as in it doesn't make the 'Beeping' sound when I plug it in or shows up in My Computer.
Much help would be appreciated. I've considered sending in my iTouch for repair or maybe a replacment but Apple's repair form is not working at the moment. There is no Apple Store close to where I live, which is in a small town in ND. I've tried the following with no success.
Re-Installed iTunes
Unplug and Replug my iTouch
Tried different USB ports (All 2.0)
Restarted computer
He makes no mention what so ever if he tried to force restore it again after the first attempt.
He said when he forced the restore he hit "My Music" in error then his PC hung and his iPod would no longer be detected by the PC. He never said he tried the force restore a second time.
Why the **** did you even post if you don't have anything of value to add to the conversation anyway.

My itouch won't turn on. All that shows is the apple icon and then the screen goes blue to white. Is there a way to fix this or is my itouch unfixable? HELP ME!!!
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 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.

My iTouch won't turn on and the computer doesn't register it when plugged in.
The screen never went white or crashed, it just won't turn on. I tried plugging it into the computer but it won't register and the base of the iPod near the plug area got really hot. I don't know what's wrong with it or what to do. Help please?
Any charging icon when the iPod Touch get connected?
If no, you can let the iPod Touch connected with any power source, such as computer usb port, then press and hold the "sleep / wake" and "Home" button at the same time until you can see an Apple icon on the screen (usually take around 20 seconds)
Maybe you have to send it to Apple if still won't switched on. -

my iPod touch 5 is disyllable and it wants me to connect to iTunes. i connect to iTunes but it says i have to accept the invitation from my iPod witch is locked so what do i do?
Hello there Patss213,
If your iPod Touch is telling you to connect to iTunes and when you do, you are prompted to Trust the computer but are unable to due to the device being disabled, you will need to put the device into Recovery Mode and restore it with this article:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Keep in mind this will delete all information on the iPod, and you will need to restore it from a backup:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iTunes 11 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

hi, updated my iphone where in the middle of updated the screen showed i must connect to itunes. after connecting to itunes my iphone was updated but everything was deleted. was first time on itunes , so have no backup. can i recover my pics and contacts? please help
If this has happened more than once the problem is likely on your PC.

I forgot my iphone's password and it is disabled now because i tried so many times to open it. Now it's saying "your iphone is disabled and connect to itunes" i connected it to itunes and clicked restore. How long will it take for my phone to restore? Is it gonna be 24 hours?
It appears like there is maintenance or something affecting the iTunes server today. I recommend giving it a few hours and trying again. It shouldn't take that long to restore but from what I hear, there is definitely something going on with the iTunes server today.

After updating to iOS 7, there was an error and I had to restore to factory settings. I then followed the steps to import everything and it appears to have done so, but even when I have restored and synced from my iTune, my screen still shows the "Connected to iTunes" or "Connect to iTunes" page, and will not progress or let me to my homepage. I have spoken to an O2 guru who has told me I've followed all the correct steps, and this is therefore an Apple problem. I have restarted and followed all possibilities, what do I do now?
Keep trying ...
Recovery mode is the last option. If that doesn't work, you'll need to take your iPhone in to a service center.
Follow the exact steps listed in HT1808. -
i update my 3gs to 6.1 from 4.1 after installation of software it shows connect to itunes or connect to wi-fi when i connect it to itunes it shows the iphone tab in itunes bt after some times it say we are unable to complete your request please help me
That would be the wireless number assigned by AT&T when the purchaser of the iPhone signed up as a customer with AT&T. If neither you nor your uncle ever activated the iPhone with AT&T, click the "non customer" button.
Note that jailbreaking often renders it impossible to get an iPhone officially unlocked, so don't be surprised if it fails. If it does, then you may have to buy a new iPhone, this time one that is officially unlocked.

Phone won't turn on because if iTunes notification?
I recently got an updates on my settings on my iPhone so it's automatically updated and I agreed blah blah and eventually it said it needed to restart for the changes to take place, so obviously I did thinking all would be fine and now I can't access my phone at all because it keep coming up with a charger at the bottom of the screen with an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo. I've tried connecting it to iTunes and it's taken two hours and absolutely nothing and has been saying that my phone needs to be restored? which I've tried but again nothing..I updated my iTunes so it can't be that and I'm just so annoyed because I can't get onto my phone at all!!!
Hello leannemcculloch,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
Use iTunes to restore your device.
Have a nice day,
Mario
